2 Mpanjaka 7
1 Le hoe t’i Elisà, Mijanjiña ty tsara’ Iehovà, Hoe t’Iehovà, Ie manao hoe io te maray le haletake sekele raik’ an-dalambei’ i Somerone eo ty kapoan’ ampemba mona’e, vaho sekele raike ty vare hordea kapoake roe.
Elisha said, “Hear Yahweh’s word. Yahweh says, ‘Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour will be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.’”
2 Tinoi’ ty mpifehe iatoam-pità’ i mpanjakay amy zao indatin’Añaharey ami’ty hoe: Inao! Ndra te nanoe’ Iehovà tsingarakarake ty andikerañe eñe, aia t’ie ho tendreke? Hoe re, Inay! ho isam-pihaino’o, fe tsy hikama’o.
Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, “Behold, if Yahweh made windows in heaven, could this thing be?” He said, “Behold, you will see it with your eyes, but will not eat of it.”
3 Teo ty lahilahy angamae efatse am-pimoahan-dalambey eo; ie nifampivesoveso ty hoe, Ino ty hitobohan-tika etoa am-para’ te mate?
Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate. They said to one another, “Why do we sit here until we die?
4 naho manao ty hoe tika: Antao hizilik’ an-drova: fe ho zoeñe ao i hasalikoañey vaho hivetrak’ ao; ie mboe mitoboke etoa, le hikenkañe ka. Antao arè, hihotrake am-balobohò’ o nte-Arameo; he apo’ iereo velon-tika le ho veloñe, ke ho vonoe’ iereo, le ho mate avao.
If we say, ‘We will enter into the city,’ then the famine is in the city, and we will die there. If we sit still here, we also die. Now therefore come, and let’s surrender to the army of the Syrians. If they save us alive, we will live; and if they kill us, we will only die.”
5 Aa le niongake te nangoañe, nigodañe mb’an-tobe’ o nte-Arameo; aa ie pok’ añ’ olo’ i tobey, hehe t’ie tsy ama’ ondaty.
They rose up in the twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians. When they had come to the outermost part of the camp of the Syrians, behold, no man was there.
6 Amy te nampijanjiñe’ i Talè feon-tsarete o nte-Arameo, naho ty feon-tsoavala vaho ty fikoraham-balobohòke, le hoe ty nifanalilia’ iereo: Inao, kinarama’ i mpanjaka’ Israeley haname an-tika o mpanjaka’ o nte-Kiteoo, naho o mpanjaka’ o nte-Mitsraimeoo.
For the Lord had made the army of the Syrians to hear the sound of chariots and the sound of horses, even the noise of a great army; and they said to one another, “Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians to attack us.”
7 Aa le niongake iereo nitriban-day te mangararak’ atiñanañe, le nadoke o kiboho’eo naho o soavala’eo naho o borìke’eo, naho nado’ iareo i tobey hoe i teoy avao vaho niherereake mb’eo handrombak’ay.
Therefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, their horses, and their donkeys, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
8 Ie pok’ añ’olo’ i tobey i angamae rey, le nizilik’ ami’ty kibohotse ao nikama naho ninoñe, naho nakare’ iereo ty volafoty naho ty volamena naho sikiñe, le nenteñe mb’eo vaho naetake; nimoaha’ iareo ty kibohotse raike ka le nangalak’ ao naho nente’ iereo vaho naetake.
When these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drank, then carried away silver, gold, and clothing and went and hid it. Then they came back, and entered into another tent and carried things from there also, and went and hid them.
9 Le hoe ty fifanaontsia’ iareo, Tsy soa o anoen-tikañeo; toe andro fitalilian-tsoa androany, itika mitsiñe avao; aa naho liñisan-tika te manjirike i àndroy le hiambotraham-pandilovañe; antao arè homb’eo hitalily amo añ’anjomba’ i mpanjakaio.
Then they said to one another, “We aren’t doing right. Today is a day of good news, and we keep silent. If we wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come, let’s go and tell the king’s household.”
10 Aa le nimb’eo iereo nitoka o mpitan-dalambeio, nitalily ty hoe; Nimb’ an-toben-te Arame añe zahay, le hehe te leo ondaty tsy ao, po-piarañanaña’ ondaty, fe soavala mirohy naho borìke mirohy, vaho napoke ey avao o kibohotseo.
So they came and called to the city gatekeepers; and they told them, “We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, not even a man’s voice, but the horses tied, and the donkeys tied, and the tents as they were.”
11 Aa le nikoike o mpitan-dalañeo, nitalily añ’ anjomba’ i Mpanjakay.
Then the gatekeepers called out and told it to the king’s household within.
12 Le nitroatse amy haleñey i mpanjakay nanao ty hoe amo mpitoro’eo, Hatoroko anahareo ty nanoa’ o nte-Arameo aman-tika. Fohi’ iareo t’ie kerè; aa le niakara’ iereo i tobey hietak’ an-kivok’ ao, nikilily ty hoe: Ie miakatse i rovay iereo, le ho tsepahen-tika veloñe vaho himoak’ amy rovay.
The king arose in the night, and said to his servants, “I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry. Therefore they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, ‘When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and get into the city.’”
13 Aa hoe ty natoi’ ty mpitoro’e raike: Ehe, angao hendeseñe i soavala lime honka’e an-drova atoa rey—ndra t’ie manahake ty valobohò’ Israele sisa ama’e ao; ie ho hambañe amy valobohò’ Israele fa nagodrañey—antao hañirake naho handrendreke.
One of his servants answered, “Please let some people take five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are left in it. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are consumed. Let’s send and see.”
14 Rinambe’ iereo ty sarete roe reketse soavala; vaho nampihitrife’ i mpanjakay hañorike i valobohò’ o nte-Arameoy iereo ami’ty hoe: Akia mandrendreha.
Therefore they took two chariots with horses; and the king sent them out to the Syrian army, saying, “Go and see.”
15 Aa le norihe’ iereo pak’ am’ Iordaney añe; le hehe te tsitsike sikiñe naho haraotse i lalañey, ze naria’ o nte-Arameo amy falisa’ iareoy. Aa le nimpoly o niraheñeo nitalily amy mpanjakay.
They went after them to the Jordan; and behold, all the path was full of garments and equipment which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. The messengers returned and told the king.
16 Niavotse mb’eo ondatio, nikopake ty tobe’ o nte-Arameo. Aa le naletake sekele raike ty kapoak’ ampemba mona’e, naho sekele raike ty kapoake vare-hordea roe, ty amy tsara’ Iehovày.
The people went out and plundered the camp of the Syrians. So a seah of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to Yahweh’s word.
17 Tinendre’ i mpanjakay hañambeñe ty lalambey i mpifehe iatoam-pità’ey; f’ie linialia’ ondatio an-dalambey eo, le nivetrake hambañe amy nitokia’ indatin’ Añahareiy, amy saontsi’e amy fizotsoa’ i mpanjakay mb’ ama’e mb’eoy.
The king had appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to be in charge of the gate; and the people trampled over him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.
18 Aa le nitendreke, hambañe amy sinaontsi’ indatin’Añaharey amy mpanjakaiy ty hoe: Vare-hordea kapoake roe, sekele raike, le ty kapoake bon’ ampemba: sekele raike, ty ho zoeñe an-dalambei’ i Somerone te hamaray manahake henanekeo.
It happened as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, “Two seahs of barley for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria;”
19 Tinoi’ i mpifehey ty hoe indatin’ Añaharey: Eo hey; ndra te nanoe’ Iehovà tsingaragarake ty andikerañe eñe, tsy ho nitendreke o raha zao. Le hoe ty navale’e: Inao! ho isam-pihano’o, fe tsy hikama’o.
and that captain answered the man of God, and said, “Now, behold, if Yahweh made windows in heaven, might such a thing be?” and he said, “Behold, you will see it with your eyes, but will not eat of it.”
20 Aa le izay ty nifetsak’ ama’e kanao linialia’ ondatio an-dalambey eo, vaho nihomake.
It happened like that to him, for the people trampled over him in the gate, and he died.
