2 Wafalme 7
1 Elisha akasema, “Sikiliza neno la Yahwe. Hivi ndivyo Yahwe asemavyo: “Kesho mda kama huu kipimo cha unga mzuri kitauzwa kwa shekeli, na vipimo viwili vya shayiri kwa shekeli, kwenye lango la Samaria.””
And he said Elisha hear [the] word of Yahweh thus - he says Yahweh about this time - tomorrow a seah of fine flour for a shekel and two seahs barley for a shekel at [the] gate of Samaria.
2 Basi yule nahodha ambaye alikuwa akitegemea mkono wake amemjibu mtu wa Mungu, na kusema, “Ona, hata kama Yahwe ataweka madirisha mbinguni, je jambo hili linawezekana?” Elisha akajibu, “Ona, utaona ikitokea kwa macho yako mwenyewe, lakini hutakula chochote katika hilo.”
And he answered the officer who [belonged] to the king [who] was leaning on hand his [the] man of God and he said here! Yahweh [is] making windows in the heavens ¿ will it happen the thing this and he said here you [are] about to see with own eyes your and from there not you will eat.
3 Basi, kulikuwa na watu wanne wenye ukoma upande wa nje wa lango la mji. Wakaambizana kila mmoja, “Kwa nini tukae hapa hadi hapo tutakapokufa?
And four men they were [people] having a skin disease [the] entrance of the gate and they said each to neighbor his why? [are] we sitting here until we have died.
4 Kama tukisema kwamba tutaenda kwenye ule mji, maana mjini kuna njaa, na tutakufa hapo. Lakini kama tukiendelea kukaa hapa, bado tutakufa. Sawa, njoni, twendeni kwenye lile jeshi la Washami. Kama wakitupa uhai, tutakuwa hai, na kama wakituua, tutakufa tu.”
If we said we will enter the city and the famine [is] in the city and we will die there and if we sat here and we will die and therefore come so let us fall to [the] camp of Aram if they will let live us we will live and if they will put to death us and we will die.
5 Hivyo wakaamka asubuhi kabla giza halijaisha kwenda kwenye kambi ya Washami; Wakati walipofika sehemu ya mwanzo wa kambi, hapakuwa na mtu hapo.
And they arose at twilight to go to [the] camp of Aram and they came to [the] edge of [the] camp of Aram and there! there not there [was] anyone.
6 Kwa kuwa Bwana alikuwa ameunda jeshi la Washami kusikia sauti ya magari ya farasi, na sauti za farasi-sauti za jeshi jingine kubwa, ndipo wakaambizana kila mmoja wao, “Yule mfalme wa Israeli amekodisha wafalme wa Wahiti na Wamisri waje wapigane dhidi yetu.”
And [the] Lord he had caused to hear - [the] camp of Aram a sound of chariotry a sound of horse[s] a sound of an army large and they said each to brother his here! he has hired on us [the] king of Israel [the] kings of the Hittites and [the] kings of Egypt to come on us.
7 Hivyo wale maaskari wakaondoka kungali giza; waliacha mahema yao, punda zao, na kambi kama ilivyokuwa, na kukimbia kwa ajili ya maisha yao.
And they arose and they fled at twilight and they abandoned tents their and horses their and donkeys their the camp [was] just as it [was] and they fled to life their.
8 Wakati wale watu wenye ukoma walipokuja sehemu ya mwisho wa kambi, wakaenda kwenye hema moja na kula na kunywa, na kubeba fedha na dhahabu na nguo, na kwenda na kuzificha. Wakarudi na kuingia kwenye hema nyingine na kubeba kutoka pale pia, na kwenda kuvificha.
And they came the [people] having a skin disease these to [the] edge of the camp and they went into a tent one and they ate and they drank and they carried off from there silver and gold and clothes and they went and they hid [them] and they returned and they went into a tent another and they carried off [things] from there and they went and they hid [them].
9 Basi, wakaambizana kila mmoja, “Hatufanyi sahihi. Siku hii ni siku ya habari njema, lakini tunanyamaza kimya kuhusu hili. Kama tukisubiri mpaka kutakapopambazuka, adhabu itakuwa juu yetu. Basi, njoni, twendeni na kuwaambia nyumba ya mfalme.”
And they said each to neighbor his not right - we [are] doing the day this [is] a day of good news it and we [are] silent and we will delay until [the] light of the morning and it will find us punishment and therefore come so let us go and let us tell [the] household of the king.
10 Kwa hiyo wakaenda na kuwaita mabawabu wa mji. Wakawaambia, wakisema, “Tumeenda kambi ya Washami, lakini hapakuwa na mtu pale, hakuna sauti ya mtu yeyote, lakini kulikuwa na farasi wamefungwa, na punda wamefungwa, na zile hema kama zilivyokuwa.”
And they went and they called out to [the] gatekeeper of the city and they told to them saying we went into [the] camp of Aram and there! there not there [was] anyone and [the] sound of anyone that except the horse[s] tied up and the donkey[s] tied up and tents [are] just as they [were].
11 Ndipo mabawabu wakatoa habari, ndipo wakaambiwa ndani ya nyumba ya mfalme.
And he called out the gatekeepers and they told [the] household of the king within.
12 Basi yule mfalme akainuka usiku nakusema kwa watumishi wake, “Nitawaambia sasa kile ambacho Washami walichotufanyia. Wanajua kwamba tunanjaa, hivyo wameondoka kwenye kambi kwenda kujificha kwenye mashamba. Wanasema, 'Wakati watakapotoka mjini, tutawakamata wakiwa hai, na kuingia mjini.”
And he arose the king night and he said to servants his let me tell please to you [that] which they have done to us Aram they know that [are] hungry we and they have gone out from the camp to hide themselves (in open country *Q(K)*) saying that they will come out from the city and we will seize them alive and into the city we will go.
13 Mmoja wa wale watumishi wa mfalme akajibu na kusema, “Nakuomba, ngoja baadhi ya watu wachukue farasi watano wale waliosalia, ambao wamebaki kwenye mji. Wako kama mkutano wote wa Israeli waliobaki-wengi wamekufa; ngoja tuwatume na tuone.”
And he answered one from servants his and he said and they may take please five of the horses remaining which they are left in it here they [will be] like all ([the] multitude of *Q(K)*) Israel which they are left in it here they [will be] like all [the] multitude of Israel which they have come to an end and let us send and we may see.
14 Hivyo wakachukua magari mawili ya farasi pamoja na farasi, na mfalme akawatuma baada ya jeshi la Washami, akisema, “Enendeni mkaone.”
And people took two chariot[s] horses and he sent [them] the king after [the] camp of Aram saying go and see.
15 Wakawafuata kwenda Yordani, na barabara zote zilikuwa zimejaa na vifaa ambavyo Washami walivitupa wapate kukimbia haraka. Kwa hiyo wale wajumbe wakarudi na kumwambia mfalme.
And they went after them to the Jordan and there! all the road [was] full clothes and equipment which they had thrown away Aram (in hurrying of them *Q(K)*) and they returned the messengers and they told to the king.
16 Wale watu wakatoka nje na wakaziteka nyara zile kambi za Washami. Hivyo kipimo cha unga mzuri uliuzwa kwa shekeli moja, na vipimo viwili vya shayiri kwa shekeli moja, kama vile ambavyo neno la Yahwe lilivyosema.
And it went out the people and they plundered [the] camp of Aram and it was a seah of fine flour for a shekel and two seahs barley for a shekel according to [the] word of Yahweh.
17 Naye mfalme alimwagiza yule nahodha ambaye alitegemea mkono wake kuwa mkuu wa lango, na watu wakamkanyaga chini langoni. Alikufa kama mtu wa Mungu alivyosema, ambaye ameongea wakati yule mfalme alipomshukia.
And the king he appointed the officer who [was] leaning on hand his over the gate and they trampled him the people in the gate and he died just as he had spoken [the] man of God who he spoke when came down the king to him.
18 Basi ikatokea kama yule mtu wa Mungu alivyosema kwa mfalme akisema, “Mda kama huu kwenye lango la Samaria, vipimo viwili vya shayiri vitapatikana kwa shekeli, na kipimo cha unga mzuri kwa shekeli.”
And it was as had spoken [the] man of God to the king saying two seahs barley for a shekel and a seah of fine flour for a shekel it will be about this time tomorrow in [the] gate of Samaria.
19 Yule nahodha alimjibu yule mtu wa Mungu na kusema, “Tazama, hata kama Yahwe angefanya madirisha mbinguni, je hiki kitu kingeweza kutokea” Elisha akasema, “Tazama, utaona kikitokea kwa macho yako mwenyewe, lakini hutakula chochote katika hicho.”
And he had answered the officer [the] man of God and he said and here! Yahweh [is] making windows in the heavens ¿ will it happen according to the manner this and he said here you [are] about to see with own eyes your and from there not you will eat.
20 Hivyo ndivyo haswa kilichompata, kwa kuwa watu wakamkanyaga kwenye lango, na kufa.
And it happened to him thus and they trampled him the people in the gate and he died.
