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.””
Forsothe Elisee seide, Here ye the word of the Lord; the Lord seith these thingis, In this tyme to morewe a buschel of flour schal be for a stater, and twei buschels of barli for a stater, in the yate of Samarie.
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 oon of the duykis, on whos hond the kyng lenyde, answeride to the man of God, and seide, Thouy `also the Lord make the goteris of heuene to be openyd, whether that, that thou spekist, mai be? Which Elisee seide, Thou schalt se with thin iyen, and thou schalt not ete therof.
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?
Therfor foure leprouse men weren bisidis the entryng of the yate, whiche seiden togidere, What wolen we be here, til we dien?
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.”
Whether we wolen entre in to the citee, we schulen die for hungur; whether we dwellen here, we schulen die. Therfor come ye, and fle we ouer to the castels of Sirie; if thei schulen spare vs, we schulen lyue; sotheli if thei wolen sle, netheles we schulen die.
5 Hivyo wakaamka asubuhi kabla giza halijaisha kwenda kwenye kambi ya Washami; Wakati walipofika sehemu ya mwanzo wa kambi, hapakuwa na mtu hapo.
Therfor thei risiden in the euentide to come to the castels of Sirie; and whanne thei hadden come to the bigynnyng of the castels of Sirie, thei founden not ony man there.
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.”
Forsothe the Lord hadde maad a sown of charis, and of horsis, and of ful myche oost to be herd in the castels of Sirie; and thei seiden togidere, Lo! the kyng of Israel hath hirid bi meede ayens vs the kyngis of Etheis and of Egipcians; and thei camen on vs.
7 Hivyo wale maaskari wakaondoka kungali giza; waliacha mahema yao, punda zao, na kambi kama ilivyokuwa, na kukimbia kwa ajili ya maisha yao.
Therfor thei risiden, and fledden in derknessis, and leften her tentis, and horsis, and mulis, and assis, in the castels; and thei fledden, couetynge to saue her lyues oonli.
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.
Therfor whanne thilke leprouse men hadden come to the bigynnyng of the castels, thei entriden into o tabernacle, and eetun, and drunken; and thei token fro thennus siluer, and gold, and clothis; and yeden, and hidden; and eft thei turneden ayen to anothir tabernacle, and in lijk maner thei token awei fro thennus, and hidden.
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 thei seiden togidere, We doen not riytfuli, for this is a dai of good message; if we holden stille, and nylen telle til the morewtid, we schulen be repreued of trespassyng; come ye, go we, and telle in the `halle of the kyng.
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 whanne thei hadden come to the yate of the citee, thei telden to hem, and seiden, We yeden to the castels of Sirie, and we founden not ony man there, no but horsis and assis tied, and tentis fastned.
11 Ndipo mabawabu wakatoa habari, ndipo wakaambiwa ndani ya nyumba ya mfalme.
Therfor the porteris yeden, and telden in the paleis of the kyng with ynne.
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.”
Which king roos bi niyt, and seide to hise seruauntis, Y seie to you, what the men of Sirie han do to vs; thei witen, that we trauelen with hungur, therfor thei yeden out of the castels, and ben hid in the feeldis, and seien, Whanne thei schulen go out of the citee, we schulen take hem quyk, and thanne we schulen mowe entre in to the citee.
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.”
Forsothe oon of his seruauntis answeride, Take we fyue horsis, that leften in the citee; for tho ben oonli in al the multitude of Israel, for othere horsis ben wastid; and we sendynge moun aspie.
14 Hivyo wakachukua magari mawili ya farasi pamoja na farasi, na mfalme akawatuma baada ya jeshi la Washami, akisema, “Enendeni mkaone.”
Therfor thei brouyten forth twei horsis; and the kyng sente in to the castels of men of Sirie, and seide, Go ye, and se.
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.
Whiche yeden after hem `til to Jordan; lo! forsothe al the weie was ful of clothis, and of vessels, whiche the men of Sirie castiden forth, whanne thei weren disturblid. And the messangeris turneden ayen, and schewiden to the kyng.
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 the puple yede out, and rauyschide the castels of Sirie; and a buyschel of flour was maad for o stater, and twei buyschels of barli for o stater, bi the word of the Lord.
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.
Forsothe the kyng ordeynede at the yate that duyk, in whos hond the kyng lenyde; whom the cumpeny to-trad with her feet, and he was deed, bi the word, which the man of God spak, whanne the kyng cam doun to hym.
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 doon bi the word of the man of God, which he seide to the kyng, whanne he seide, Twei buyschels of barli shulen be for a statir, and a buyschel of wheete flour for a stater, in this same tyme to morewe in the yate of Samarie;
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.”
whanne thilke duyk answeride to the man of God, and seide, Yhe, thouy the Lord schal make the goteris in heuene to be openyd, whether this that thou spekist may be? and the man of God seide, Thou schalt se with thin iyen, and thou schalt not ete therof.
20 Hivyo ndivyo haswa kilichompata, kwa kuwa watu wakamkanyaga kwenye lango, na kufa.
Therfore it bifelde to hym, as it was biforseid; and the puple to-trad hym with feet in the yate, and he was deed.
