2 Ымпэрацилор 6
1 Фиий пророчилор ау зис луй Елисей: „Ятэ кэ локул унде локуим ной ку тине есте пря стрымт пентру ной.
One day a group of prophets said to Elisha, “Look, this place where we meet together with you is very small.
2 Хайдем пынэ ла Йордан ка сэ луэм де аколо фиекаре кыте о бырнэ ши сэ не фачем аколо ун лок де локуит.” Елисей а рэспунс: „Дучеци-вэ.”
Allow us to go to the Jordan [River and cut down some trees to make] logs to build a new meeting place.” So Elisha said, “Okay, go.”
3 Ши унул дин ей а зис: „Фий бун ши вино ку служиторий тэй.” Ел а рэспунс: „Вой мерӂе!”
One of them said to Elisha, “Please come with us.” So Elisha replied, “Okay, I will go with you.”
4 А плекат деч ку ей. Ажунгынд ла Йордан, ау тэят лемне.
So they went together. When they reached the Jordan [River], they cut down some trees.
5 Ши, пе кынд тэя унул дин ей о бырнэ, а кэзут ферул де ла секуре ын апэ. Ел а стригат: „Ах, домнул меу, ера ымпрумутат!”
But while one of them was cutting down a tree, suddenly the axe head [separated from the handle and] fell into the water. He cried out to Elisha, “O, Master, what shall I do? [The axe is not mine]; I borrowed it!”
6 Омул луй Думнезеу а зис: „Унде а кэзут?” Ши й-а арэтат локул. Атунч, Елисей а тэят о букатэ де лемн, а арункат-о ын локул ачела, ши ферул де ла секуре а плутит пе апэ.
Elisha replied, “Where did it fall into the water?” After the man showed him the place, Elisha cut off a stick, and threw it into the water, and caused the iron axe head to float [on top of the water].
7 Апой а зис: „Ридикэ-л!” Ши а ынтинс мына ши л-а луат.
Elisha said, “Take it out of the water.” So the man reached his hand down and picked up the axe head.
8 Ымпэратул Сирией ера ын рэзбой ку Исраел. Ши, ынтр-ун сфат пе каре л-а цинут ку служиторий сэй, а зис: „Табэра мя ва фи ын кутаре лок.”
Whenever the king of Syria [prepared to send his army to] fight against Israel, he first consulted his officers, and then told them where they should set up their tents.
9 Дар омул луй Думнезеу а тримис сэ спунэ ымпэратулуй луй Исраел: „Фереште-те сэ тречь пе лынгэ локул ачела, кэч аколо сунт аскуншь сириений.”
But each time, Elisha would send a message to warn the king of Israel, [telling him where the army of Syria was planning to attack them, ] saying, “Be sure that your army does not go near that place, because the army of Syria has set up their tents there.”
10 Ши ымпэратул луй Исраел а тримис ниште оамень сэ стя ла пындэ спре локул пе каре и-л спусесе ши деспре каре ыл ынштиинцасе омул луй Думнезеу. Ачаста с-а ынтымплат ну о датэ, нич де доуэ орь.
So the king of Israel would send [messengers] to warn [the people who lived in] that place, and the people would remain on guard. That happened several times.
11 Ымпэратулуй Сирией и с-а тулбурат инима. А кемат пе служиторий сэй ши ле-а зис: „Ну воиць сэ-мь спунець каре дин ной есте пентру ымпэратул луй Исраел?”
The king of Syria was very upset/disturbed/angry about that. So he summoned his army officers and said to them, “[Obviously] one of you is (betraying us/revealing our plans) to the king of Israel. Which one of you is doing it?”
12 Унул дин служиторий сэй а рэспунс: „Нимень, ымпэрате, домнул меу, дар пророкул Елисей, каре есте ын Исраел, спуне ымпэратулуй луй Исраел кувинтеле пе каре ле ростешть ын одая та де кулкаре.”
One of his officers answered, “Your Majesty, it is not one of us. Elisha the prophet [knows what we plan to do, and he] tells the king of Israel everything. He even knows what you say in your own bedroom!”
13 Ши ымпэратул а зис: „Дучеци-вэ ши ведець унде есте, ка сэ тримит сэ-л приндэ.” Ау венит ши й-ау спус: „Ятэ кэ есте ла Дотан.”
The king of Syria replied, “Go and find out where he is, and I will send [some men there] to capture him.” Someone told him, “People say that he is in Dothan [town north of Samaria].”
14 А тримис аколо кай, каре ши о оасте путерникэ. Ау ажунс ноаптя ши ау ынконжурат четатя.
So the king sent a large group of soldiers [to Dothan] with horses and chariots. They arrived at night and surrounded the town.
15 Служиторул омулуй луй Думнезеу с-а скулат дис-де-диминяцэ ши а ешит. Ши ятэ кэ о оасте ынконжура четатя ку кай ши каре. Ши служиторул а зис омулуй луй Думнезеу: „Ах, домнул меу, кум вом фаче?”
Early the next morning, Elisha’s servant got up and went outside the house. He saw the soldiers of Syria with their horses and chariots surrounding the town. So he went inside [the house and reported it to Elisha] and exclaimed, “O, sir! What are we going to do?”
16 Ел а рэспунс: „Ну те теме, кэч май мулць сунт чей ку ной декыт чей ку ей.”
Elisha replied, “Do not be afraid! Those who will be helping us will be more than those who will be helping them!”
17 Елисей с-а ругат ши а зис: „Доамне, дескиде-й окий сэ вадэ.” Ши Домнул а дескис окий служиторулуй, каре а вэзут мунтеле плин де кай ши де каре де фок ымпрежурул луй Елисей.
Then he prayed, “Yahweh, I request that you open my servant’s eyes in order that he can see [what is out there]!” So Yahweh enabled the servant to look out and see that surrounding the hill on which the town [was built] was a huge number of horses, and chariots made of fire!
18 Сириений с-ау коборыт ла Елисей. Ел а фэкут атунч урмэтоаря ругэчуне кэтре Домнул: „Ловеште, рогу-Те, пе попорул ачеста ку орбире.” Ши Домнул й-а ловит ку орбире, дупэ кувынтул луй Елисей.
When the army of Syria prepared to attack Elisha, he prayed again, saying, “Yahweh, cause all these soldiers to become blind!” Yahweh answered his prayer and caused them to be unable to see clearly.
19 Елисей ле-а зис: „Ну есте ачаста каля ши ну есте ачаста четатя; вениць дупэ мине ши вэ вой дуче ла омул пе каре-л кэутаць.” Ши й-а дус ла Самария.
Then Elisha went to them and said, “You are not on the right road; this is not the city that you are searching for. I will take you to the man whom you are searching for.” But he led them to Samaria, [the capital of Israel]!
20 Кынд ау интрат ын Самария, Елисей а зис: „Доамне, дескиде окий оаменилор ачестора сэ вадэ!” Ши Домнул ле-а дескис окий ши ау вэзут кэ ерау ын мижлокул Самарией.
As soon as they entered Samaria, Elisha prayed again, saying, “Yahweh, now enable these soldiers to see correctly again!” So Yahweh enabled them to see correctly, and they were surprised to see that they were inside Samaria [city].
21 Ымпэратул луй Исраел, вэзынду-й, а зис луй Елисей: „Сэ-й мэчелэреск, сэ-й мэчелэреск, пэринте?”
When the king of Israel saw them, he said to Elisha, “Sir, shall I [tell my soldiers to] kill them? Shall we kill all of them?”
22 „Сэ ну-й мэчелэрешть”, а рэспунс Елисей. „Обишнуешть ту оаре сэ мэчелэрешть пе ачея пе каре ый ей приншь ку сабия ши ку аркул тэу? Дэ-ле пыне ши апэ, ка сэ мэнынче ши сэ бя, апой сэ се дукэ ла стэпынул лор.”
Elisha replied, “No, you must not kill them. If your army captured many of your enemies in a battle, you would certainly not [RHQ] kill them. Give these men something to eat and drink, and then allow them to return to their king.”
23 Ымпэратул луй Исраел ле-а дат ун прынз маре ши ей ау мынкат ши ау бэут, апой ле-а дат друмул ши ау плекат ла стэпынул лор. Ши оштиле сириенилор ну с-ау май ынторс пе цинутул луй Исраел.
So the king of Israel did that. He told his servants to provide a big feast for them. And when they had eaten and drunk plenty, he sent them away. They returned to the king of Syria [and told him what had happened]. So for a while after that, soldiers from Syria stopped raiding/attacking towns in Israel.
24 Дупэ ачея, Бен-Хадад, ымпэратул Сирией, стрынгынду-шь тоатэ оштиря, с-а суит ши а ымпресурат Самария.
But some time later, Ben-Hadad, the king of Syria, assembled his entire army, and they went to Samaria and surrounded the city [for a long time].
25 Ын Самария а фост о маре фоамете ши атыт де мулт ау стрымторат-о, ынкыт ун кап де мэгар прецуя оптзечь де сикли де арӂинт ши ун сферт де каб де гэинац де порумбел, чинч сикли де арӂинт.
Because of that, after a while there was hardly any food left inside the city, with the result that eventually a donkey’s head, [which was usually worthless, ] cost eighty pieces of silver, and (one cup/0.3 liter) of dove’s dung cost five pieces of silver.
26 Ши, пе кынд тречя ымпэратул пе зид, о фемее й-а стригат: „Скапэ-мэ, ымпэрате, домнул меу!”
One day when the king of Israel was walking on top of the city wall, a woman cried out to him, “Your Majesty, help me!”
27 Ел а рэспунс: „Дакэ ну те скапэ Домнул, ку че сэ те скап еу? Ку венитул арией сау ал тяскулуй?”
He replied, “If Yahweh will not help you, I certainly cannot [RHQ] help you. I certainly [RHQ] do not have any wheat or wine!
28 Ши ымпэратул й-а зис: „Че ай?” Еа а рэспунс: „Фемея ачея мь-а зис: ‘Дэ-мь пе фиул тэу сэ-л мынкэм астэзь, ши мыне вом мынка пе фиул меу.’
What is your problem?” She replied, “Several days ago, that woman [over there] said to me, ‘[Because we have nothing left to eat, ] let’s kill your son today, in order that we can eat his flesh. Then tomorrow we can [kill] my son [and] eat his flesh.’
29 Ной ам ферт пе фиул меу ши л-ам мынкат. Ши ын зиуа урмэтоаре й-ам зис: ‘Дэ пе фиул тэу сэ-л мынкэм.’ Дар еа а аскунс пе фиул ей.”
So we [killed my son and cut his body up and] boiled his flesh and ate it. The next day, I said to her, ‘Now give your son to me, in order that we can [kill him and cook his flesh and] eat it.’ But she has hidden her son!”
30 Кум а аузит ымпэратул кувинтеле ачестей фемей, шь-а рупт хайнеле, кынд стэтя пе зид. Ши попорул а вэзут кэ пе динэунтру авя ун сак де пэр пе труп.
When the king heard what the woman said, he tore his robe [to show that he was very distressed]. The people who were standing close to the wall were able to see that the king was wearing rough cloth underneath his robe [because he was very distressed].
31 Ымпэратул а зис: „Сэ мэ педепсяскэ Думнезеу ку тоатэ аспримя дакэ ва рэмыне астэзь капул луй Елисей, фиул луй Шафат, пе трупул луй!”
The king exclaimed, “I wish/hope that God will strike me dead if I do not cut off the head of Elisha today, [because he is the one who has caused these terrible things to happen to us]!”
32 Елисей шедя ын касэ ши бэтрыний шедяу лынгэ ел. Ымпэратул а тримис пе чинева ынаинте. Дар, ынаинте ка сэ ажунгэ солул, Елисей а зис бэтрынилор: „Ведець кэ ачест фиу де учигаш тримите пе чинева сэ-мь я капул? Аскултаць! Кынд ва вени солул, ынкидець уша ши оприци-л ла ушэ; ну се ауде оаре сунетул пашилор стэпынулуй сэу ын урма луй?”
So the king sent an officer to get Elisha. Before the officer arrived, Elisha was sitting in his house with some Israeli elders who were talking with him. Elisha said to them, “That murderer, [the king of Israel, ] is sending someone here to kill me. Listen: When he arrives, shut the door and do not allow him to come in. And the king will be coming right behind that officer!”
33 Пе кынд ле ворбя ел ынкэ, солул се ши коборысе ла ел, ши ымпэратул а зис: „Ятэ, рэул ачеста вине де ла Домнул. Че май ам де нэдэждуит де ла Домнул?”
And while he was still speaking, the king and the officer arrived. The king said, “It is Yahweh who has caused us to have all this trouble/suffering. (Why should I wait any longer [RHQ] for him to do something [to help us]?/It is useless for me to wait any longer for him [to help us]!)”
