Boqorradii Labaad 4
1 Haddaba waxaa Eliishaa u qaylisay naag u dhaxday qoonkii nebiyada ahaa midkood, oo waxay ku tidhi, Ninkaygii oo addoonkaaga ahaa waa dhintay, oo adna waad og tahay inuu addoonkaagu Rabbiga ka cabsan jiray. Oo nin deyn nagu lahaa ayaa u yimid inuu labadayda carruurta ah iga qaato oo addoommo ka dhigto.
One day the widow of one of [Yahweh’s] prophets came to Elisha and cried out to him, “My husband, who worked with you, is dead. You know that he revered Yahweh [very much]. But now a man to whom he owed a lot of money has come to me. [And because I cannot pay back the money, he is threatening] to take away my two sons to be his slaves [as payment for what I owe him]!”
2 Markaasaa Eliishaa wuxuu iyadii ku yidhi, Bal ii sheeg, maxaan kuu sameeyaa? Oo maxaad guriga ku haysataa? Iyana waxay tidhi, Anigoo addoontaada ah guriga waxba iima yaalliin dheri saliid ah mooyaane.
Elisha replied, “What can I do to help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?” She replied, “We have only a container of [olive] oil; we have nothing else.”
3 Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Tag, oo weelal weyddiiso derisyadaada oo dhan, oo ha ahaadeen weelal madhan, wax yarna ha soo weyddiisan.
Elisha said, “Go to your neighbors and borrow from them as many empty jars as you can.
4 Oo waa inaad gurigaaga gashaa oo adiga iyo wiilashaadu albaabka isku soo xidha, oo markaas weelashaas saliidda ku shub, oo intii buuxsanta oo dhan gees u dhig.
Then take the jars into your house with your sons. Shut the door. Then pour olive oil from your container into the other jars. When each jar is full, set it aside [and fill another jar. Keep doing that until all the jars are full].”
5 Sidaas daraaddeed isagii way ka tagtay, oo iyadii iyo wiilasheedii albaabkii bay isku soo xidheen, oo iyaguna weelashii bay u keenkeeneen, iyana way ku shubtay.
[So she did what Elisha told her to do]. Her sons kept bringing jars to her, and she kept filling them.
6 Oo markii weelashii ay wada buuxsameen ayay wiilkeedii ku tidhi, Weliba weel kale ii keen. Markaasuu ku yidhi, Weel dambe ma hadhin. Dabadeedna saliiddii way joogsatay.
Soon all the jars were full. So she said to one of her sons, “Bring me another jar!” But he replied, “There are no more jars!” And then the olive oil stopped flowing.
7 Markaasay soo kacday, oo waxay u soo sheegtay ninkii Ilaah, oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Tag oo saliidda iibi, oo deynkaagii ku bixi, oo adiga iyo wiilashaaduna inta hadha ku noolaada.
When she told Elijah [what had happened], he said to her, “Now sell the jars of oil. And [with the money you get, ] pay what you owe, and there will be enough extra money to keep buying food for yourself and your sons.” [So she did that].
8 Oo waxaa maalin dhacday in Eliishaa Shuuneem tegey, oo halkaasna waxaa joogtay naag weyn, oo iyana waxay isagii yeelsiisay inuu wax cuno. Oo haddana mar alla markuu soo ag maray ayuu xaggeeda u leexday inuu wax ka cuno.
One day Elisha went to Shunem [town]. There was a wealthy woman who lived there [with her husband]. One day she invited Elisha to her house for a meal. [Elisha went there and] from then on, every time Elisha was in Shunem, he went to their house to eat a meal.
9 Markaasay ninkeedii ku tidhi, Bal eeg, waxaan gartay in ninkan oo had iyo goor ina soo ag maraa uu yahay nin Ilaah oo quduus ah.
One day the woman said to her husband, “I am sure that this man who often comes here is a prophet [who brings messages] from God.
10 Haddaba waan ku baryayaaye aynu isaga derbiga uga samayno qol yar, oo halkaas u dhigno sariir, iyo miis, iyo kursi, iyo laambad; oo waxay ahaan doontaa markuu inoo yimaadoba inuu halkaas ku leexdo.
I think we should make a small room for him on our [flat] roof, and put a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp in it. If we do that, whenever he comes here, he will have a place to stay.” [So they did that].
11 Oo waxaa maalin dhacday inuu halkaas yimid oo intuu qolkii ku leexday ayuu halkaas jiifsaday.
One day Elisha returned to Shunem, and he went up to that room to rest.
12 Oo markaasuu midiidinkiisii Geexasii ku yidhi, U yeedh naagtan reer Shuuneem. Oo markuu u yeedhay ayay hortiisii soo istaagtay.
He said to his servant Gehazi, “Tell the woman that I want to speak to her.” [So the servant went and told her]. When she came [to the doorway of Elisha’s room],
13 Markaasuu ku yidhi isagii, Hadda waxaad iyada ku tidhaahdaa, Adigu aad baad noo xannaanaysay, haddaba maxaa laguu sameeyaa? Ma doonaysaa in laguula hadlo boqorka ama sirkaalka ciidanka? Markaasay ku jawaabtay, Anigu waxaan dhex degganahay dadkaygii.
Elisha said to Gehazi, “Tell her that we both appreciate all the kind things that she has done for us. Then ask her what we can do for her. Ask, ‘Do you want [me to go to] the king or the army commander, to request something for you?’” [Gehazi told her, ] and she replied, “No, [he does not need to do that, because] my family/relatives are able to give me what I need.”
14 Oo isna wuxuu yidhi, Haddaba maxaa loo sameeyaa iyada? Kolkaasaa Geexasii wuxuu ku jawaabay, Runtii iyadu wiil ma leh, oo ninkeeduna waa oday.
[Later, ] Elisha asked Gehazi, “What do you think that we can do for that woman?” He replied, “She does not have a son, and her husband is an old man. [So maybe we should ask Yahweh to enable her to have a son].”
15 Markaasuu ku yidhi, Bal iyada u yeedh. Oo markuu u yeedhay ayay albaabka soo istaagtay.
Elisha told Gehazi, “Call her back again.” [So Gehazi went and called her]. And when the woman returned, as she stood in the doorway,
16 Oo isna wuxuu yidhi, Markii wakhtigu soo wareego xilligan oo kale wiil baad laabta ku qabsan doontaa, oo iyana waxay tidhi, Maya sayidkaygiiyow, oo adigu nin yahow Ilaah anoo addoontaada ah been ha ii sheegin.
Elisha said to her, “About this time next year you will be holding your [infant] son in your arms.” But she protested, “O, sir, you are a prophet [who brings messages] from God, so please do not deceive/lie to me by saying things like that!”
17 Oo naagtiina way uuraysatay, oo wiil bay dhashay markii wakhtigii soo wareegay, oo waxay noqotay sidii Eliishaa iyada ku yidhi.
But a few months later, the woman became pregnant, and she gave birth to a son at that time the following year, just like Elisha had predicted.
18 Oo wiilkii markuu koray waxaa maalin dhacay inuu aabbihiis u tegey meeshii kuwa beeraha gooyaa ay joogeen.
When the child was older, one day he went out to the fields to see his father, who was [working] with the men who were harvesting [grain].
19 Oo wuxuu aabbihiis ku yidhi, Madaxa madaxa! Oo isna wuxuu addoonkiisii ku yidhi, War qaad, oo hooyadiis u gee.
[Suddenly] the boy exclaimed, “My head [hurts]! My head [hurts a lot]!” His father said to one of the servants, “Carry him home to his mother!”
20 Oo markuu soo qaaday oo hooyadiis u keenay, tan iyo duhurkii ayuu jilbaha hooyadiis ku fadhiyey, dabadeedna wuu dhintay.
So the servant carried him home, and his mother held him on her lap. But at noontime the boy died.
21 Oo iyana kor bay u baxday, oo waxay isagii ku jiifisay sariirtii ninkii Ilaah, oo intay albaabkii ku xidhay ayay ka baxday.
She carried him up [the steps] to the prophet’s room and laid him on the bed. She left him there and went out and shut the door.
22 Markaasay ninkeedii u dhawaaqday oo ku tidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye iigu cid dir midiidinnadii midkood iyo dameerihii midkood, si aan ninkii Ilaah ugu ordo oo aan haddana u soo noqdo.
She then called out to her husband, saying, “Send to me one of the servants and a donkey, so that I can ride [on it] quickly to the prophet, and then come back!” [But she did not tell her husband that their son had died].
23 Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Naa maxaad maanta ugu tegaysaa? Maanta bil cusub ma aha, sabtina ma aha. Oo iyana waxay tidhi, War way hagaagi doontaa.
Her husband [called out to her and] said, “Why [do you want to go] today? This is not the day when we celebrate the Festival of the New Moon, and it is not a Sabbath day!” But she only replied, “[Just do what I requested and] everything will be all right.”
24 Markaasay dameer kooraysatay, oo midiidinkeedii waxay ku tidhi, Igu kaxee oo hore u soco, oo anigoo kugu amra mooyaane ha i raajin.
So she [told the servant to] put saddles on [two] donkeys, and as they left, she said, “Hurry! Do not slow down unless t tell you to do that!”
25 Saas daraaddeed way tagtay, oo waxay ninkii Ilaah ugu timid Buur Karmel. Oo markii ninkii Ilaah iyadii meel fog ka arkay ayuu midiidinkii Geexasii ku yidhi, Bal eeg waxaa soo socota tii reer Shuuneem.
As they approached Carmel Mountain, where Elisha was, Elisha saw her in the distance. He said to Gehazi, “Look, the woman from Shunem is coming!
26 Haddaba waan ku baryayaaye ku orod oo ka hor tag, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Ma nabad qabtaa? Ninkaagiina ma nabad qabaa? Wiilkaagiina ma nabad qabaa? Oo iyana waxay ugu jawaabtay, Waa nabad.
Run to her, and ask her if everything is all right with her and her husband and with her child!” [So Gehazi ran to her and asked her, but she did not tell Gehazi anything.] She only said, “Yes, everything is fine.”
27 Oo markay ninkii Ilaah buurta ugu timid ayay cagihiisii qabsatay. Oo Geexasii baa u soo dhowaaday inuu ka durkiyo, laakiinse ninkii Ilaah baa yidhi, War iska daa, waayo, nafteedu way welwelsan tahay, oo Rabbiguna taas wuu iga qariyey, iimana sheegin.
But when she came to where Elisha was, she [prostrated herself on the ground in front of Elisha and] took hold of his feet. Gehazi started to push her away, but Elisha said, “(Do not push her away/Leave her alone)! Something is troubling her very much, but Yahweh has not told me what it is.”
28 Markaasay tidhi, War ma Rabbigaan wiil ka doonay? Sow kuma aan odhan, War hay khiyaanayn?
Then she said to Elisha, “O, sir, I did not ask you to enable me to give birth to a son [RHQ]. And I told you not to lie to me about that!” [RHQ]
29 Oo isna wuxuu Geexasii ku yidhi, War guntiga isku giiji, oo ushayda gacanta ku qabso oo tag, oo haddaad qof la kulantid, ha salaamin, oo haddii qof ku salaamana, ha u jawaabin, oo ushayda waxaad saartaa wiilka wejigiisa.
Then Elisha [realized that something must have happened to her son. So he] said to Gehazi, “Get ready [to leave immediately]. Take my staff/walking stick and go [to her home]. Do not [stop to] talk to anyone on the way. Go quickly [to where her son is] and lay the staff on the child’s face. [If you do that, perhaps Yahweh will enable him to be well].”
30 Oo wiilkii hooyadiis waxay tidhi, Waxaan ku dhaartay Rabbiga noloshiisa iyo adiga naftaadee inaanan kaa tagayn. Markaasuu kacay oo raacay.
But the boy’s mother said, “Just [as certain] as Yahweh lives and you live, I will not go home if you do not go with me.” So Elisha returned with her [to her home].
31 Oo Geexasiina wuu ka sii hor maray, oo ushii saaray wiilka wejigiisii, laakiinse cod iyo wax maqlid toona laguma arag. Sidaas daraaddeed wuu noqday oo intuu ka hor yimid ayuu u warramay, oo ku yidhi, Yarkii ma uu toosin.
Gehazi hurried quickly, and [when he got to the woman’s home, ] he laid the staff/walking stick on the child’s face, but the child did not move or say anything. So Gehazi returned to meet Elisha [along the road], and told him, “The child is still dead.”
32 Oo Eliishaa markuu gurigii soo galay ayuu arkay in yarku meyd yahay, oo uu sariirtiisii ku jiifo.
When Elisha reached the house, he saw that the boy was lying dead on his bed.
33 Sidaas daraaddeed guduhuu galay oo intuu labadoodiiba albaabkii ku xidhay ayuu Rabbiga baryay.
Elisha went into the room by himself and shut the door and prayed to Yahweh.
34 Markaasuu intuu kacay ayuu yarkii ku kor jiifsaday, oo afkuu afka u saaray, indhihiina indhuhuu u saaray, gacmihiina gacmuhuu u saaray; oo korkiisuu isku fidiyey; markaasaa yarka jidhkiisii soo diiray.
Then he lay down on the boy’s body, and put his mouth on the boy’s mouth, and put his eyes on the boy’s eyes, and put his hands on the boy’s hands. Then the boy’s body started to become warm!
35 Markaasuu noqday oo guriga dhexdiisii mar ayuu hore iyo dib ugu socday, oo intuu tegey ayuu haddana yarkii isku fidiyey, markaasaa yarkii toddoba goor hindhisay oo indhaha kala qaaday.
Elisha got up and walked back and forth in the room [several times]. Then he stretched his body on the boy’s body again. The boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes!
36 Markaasuu Geexasii u yeedhay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Tii reer Shuuneem u yeedh. Oo isna wuu u soo yeedhay. Oo markay gudaha ugu soo gashay ayuu ku yidhi, Wiilkaaga qaado.
Then Elisha summoned Gehazi. He said, “Call the boy’s mother!” [So Gehazi went and called her, ] and when she came in, Elisha said, “Here, take your son!”
37 Markaasay gudaha soo gashay, oo cagihiisii ku dhacday, oo dhulkay ku sujuudday, markaasay wiilkeedii qaadatay oo dibadda u baxday.
She [gratefully] prostrated herself at Elisha’s feet. Then she picked up her son and carried him downstairs.
38 Oo Eliishaa haddana wuxuu yimid Gilgaal; oo wakhtigaasna dalku abaar buu ahaa, oo isagana waxaa hortiisa fadhiyey qoonkii nebiyada ahaa; oo isna midiidinkiisii ayuu ku yidhi, Dheriga weyn dabka saar oo qoonka nebiyada ah maraq u kari.
Then Elisha returned to Gilgal. But at that time there was (a famine/very little food) in that area. One day as the group of prophets was sitting in front of Elisha [listening to what he was teaching], he said to his servant, “Put a large pot on [the stove] and make some stew for these men.”
39 Oo midba berrinka u baxay inuu khudaar soo guro aawadeed, oo wuxuu helay geed duureed, oo ubbodibadeedyona faraquu ka soo buuxsaday, oo intuu soo noqday ayuu dherigii maraqa ku googooyay, waayo, ma ay garanayn.
One of the prophets went out to the fields to gather some vegetables. But he gathered [only] some wild gourds and put them in his cloak and brought them back. He shredded them and put them in the pot, but he did not know that the gourds were poisonous.
40 Sidaas daraaddeed raggii bay u soo gureen inay cunaan aawadeed. Oo intay maraqii cunayeen ayay qayliyeen, oo yidhaahdeen, War nin yahow Ilaah, dheriga geeri baa ku jirta! Maraqiina way cuni kari waayeen.
He served the stew to the prophets, but after the men had eaten only a couple bites, they cried out, “Elisha, there is something in the pot that will kill us!” So they would not eat it.
41 Laakiinse isagii wuxuu yidhi, War bal jidhiidh ii keena. Oo kolkay u keeneen ayuu dherigii ku dhex riday, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War maraqa dadka u shub ha cuneene. Oo dherigiina waxba waxyeello laguma arag.
Elisha said, “Bring me some flour.” [They brought him some, and] he threw it in the pot and he said, “It is all right now. You can eat it.” And they ate it, and it did not harm them.
42 Oo nin baa xagga Bacal Shalishaah ka yimid, oo wuxuu ninkii Ilaah kolaygiisii ugu keenay cunto midhihii hore ah, taas oo ah labaatan kibsood oo shaciir ah iyo sabuullo arabikhi oo qoyan. Oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War kuwan dadku ha cuneene sii.
One day a man from Baal-Shalishah [town] brought to Elisha a sack of freshly cut grain and 20 loaves of barley bread, made from the first grain that they harvested [that year]. Elisha said [to his servant], “Give it to the group of prophets, so that they can eat it.”
43 Markaasaa midiidinkiisii wuxuu ku yidhi, War waa sidee, ma intanaan boqol nin hor dhigaa? Laakiinse isagii wuxuu yidhi, Dadku ha cuneene sii; waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Way cuni doonaan, oo weliba wax bay reebi doonaan.
But his servant exclaimed, “Do you think that we can feed 100 of us prophets with only that much?” [RHQ] But Elisha replied, “Give it to the prophets so that they can eat it, because Yahweh says that there will be plenty for all of them, and there will be some left over!”
44 Sidaas daraaddeed hortoodii buu dhigay, oo iyana way cuneen oo weliba wax bay u reebeen sidii erayga Rabbigu ahaa.
After his servant gave it to the prophets, they ate [all that they wanted], and there was food left over, just as Yahweh had promised.
