< 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.””
καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε ἄκουσον λόγον κυρίου τάδε λέγει κύριος ὡς ἡ ὥρα αὕτη αὔριον μέτρον σεμιδάλεως σίκλου καὶ δίμετρον κριθῶν σίκλου ἐν ταῖς πύλαις Σαμαρείας
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.”
καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ τριστάτης ἐφ’ ὃν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπανεπαύετο ἐπὶ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ τῷ Ελισαιε καὶ εἶπεν ἰδοὺ ποιήσει κύριος καταρράκτας ἐν οὐρανῷ μὴ ἔσται τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο καὶ Ελισαιε εἶπεν ἰδοὺ σὺ ὄψῃ τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου καὶ ἐκεῖθεν οὐ φάγῃ
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?
καὶ τέσσαρες ἄνδρες ἦσαν λεπροὶ παρὰ τὴν θύραν τῆς πόλεως καὶ εἶπεν ἀνὴρ πρὸς τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ τί ἡμεῖς καθήμεθα ὧδε ἕως ἀποθάνωμεν
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.”
ἐὰν εἴπωμεν εἰσέλθωμεν εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ ὁ λιμὸς ἐν τῇ πόλει καὶ ἀποθανούμεθα ἐκεῖ καὶ ἐὰν καθίσωμεν ὧδε καὶ ἀποθανούμεθα καὶ νῦν δεῦτε καὶ ἐμπέσωμεν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν Συρίας ἐὰν ζωογονήσωσιν ἡμᾶς καὶ ζησόμεθα καὶ ἐὰν θανατώσωσιν ἡμᾶς καὶ ἀποθανούμεθα
5 Hivyo wakaamka asubuhi kabla giza halijaisha kwenda kwenye kambi ya Washami; Wakati walipofika sehemu ya mwanzo wa kambi, hapakuwa na mtu hapo.
καὶ ἀνέστησαν ἐν τῷ σκότει εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν Συρίας καὶ ἦλθον εἰς μέρος τῆς παρεμβολῆς Συρίας καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἔστιν ἀνὴρ ἐκεῖ
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.”
καὶ κύριος ἀκουστὴν ἐποίησεν τὴν παρεμβολὴν Συρίας φωνὴν ἅρματος καὶ φωνὴν ἵππου καὶ φωνὴν δυνάμεως μεγάλης καὶ εἶπεν ἀνὴρ πρὸς τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ νῦν ἐμισθώσατο ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ τοὺς βασιλέας τῶν Χετταίων καὶ τοὺς βασιλέας Αἰγύπτου τοῦ ἐλθεῖν ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς
7 Hivyo wale maaskari wakaondoka kungali giza; waliacha mahema yao, punda zao, na kambi kama ilivyokuwa, na kukimbia kwa ajili ya maisha yao.
καὶ ἀνέστησαν καὶ ἀπέδρασαν ἐν τῷ σκότει καὶ ἐγκατέλιπαν τὰς σκηνὰς αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς ἵππους αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς ὄνους αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ ὡς ἔστιν καὶ ἔφυγον πρὸς τὴν ψυχὴν ἑαυτῶν
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.
καὶ εἰσῆλθον οἱ λεπροὶ οὗτοι ἕως μέρους τῆς παρεμβολῆς καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς σκηνὴν μίαν καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἔπιον καὶ ἦραν ἐκεῖθεν ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον καὶ ἱματισμὸν καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς σκηνὴν ἄλλην καὶ ἔλαβον ἐκεῖθεν καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν καὶ κατέκρυψαν
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.”
καὶ εἶπεν ἀνὴρ πρὸς τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ οὐχ οὕτως ἡμεῖς ποιοῦμεν ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη ἡμέρα εὐαγγελίας ἐστίν καὶ ἡμεῖς σιωπῶμεν καὶ μένομεν ἕως φωτὸς τοῦ πρωὶ καὶ εὑρήσομεν ἀνομίαν καὶ νῦν δεῦρο καὶ εἰσέλθωμεν καὶ ἀναγγείλωμεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως
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.”
καὶ εἰσῆλθον καὶ ἐβόησαν πρὸς τὴν πύλην τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν αὐτοῖς λέγοντες εἰσήλθομεν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν Συρίας καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκεῖ ἀνὴρ καὶ φωνὴ ἀνθρώπου ὅτι εἰ μὴ ἵππος δεδεμένος καὶ ὄνος καὶ αἱ σκηναὶ αὐτῶν ὡς εἰσίν
11 Ndipo mabawabu wakatoa habari, ndipo wakaambiwa ndani ya nyumba ya mfalme.
καὶ ἐβόησαν οἱ θυρωροὶ καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως ἔσω
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.”
καὶ ἀνέστη ὁ βασιλεὺς νυκτὸς καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ ἀναγγελῶ δὴ ὑμῖν ἃ ἐποίησεν ἡμῖν Συρία ἔγνωσαν ὅτι πεινῶμεν ἡμεῖς καὶ ἐξῆλθαν ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς καὶ ἐκρύβησαν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ λέγοντες ὅτι ἐξελεύσονται ἐκ τῆς πόλεως καὶ συλλημψόμεθα αὐτοὺς ζῶντας καὶ εἰς τὴν πόλιν εἰσελευσόμεθα
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.”
καὶ ἀπεκρίθη εἷς τῶν παίδων αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν λαβέτωσαν δὴ πέντε τῶν ἵππων τῶν ὑπολελειμμένων οἳ κατελείφθησαν ὧδε ἰδού εἰσιν πρὸς πᾶν τὸ πλῆθος Ισραηλ τὸ ἐκλεῖπον καὶ ἀποστελοῦμεν ἐκεῖ καὶ ὀψόμεθα
14 Hivyo wakachukua magari mawili ya farasi pamoja na farasi, na mfalme akawatuma baada ya jeshi la Washami, akisema, “Enendeni mkaone.”
καὶ ἔλαβον δύο ἐπιβάτας ἵππων καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ ὀπίσω τοῦ βασιλέως Συρίας λέγων δεῦτε καὶ ἴδετε
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.
καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ὀπίσω αὐτῶν ἕως τοῦ Ιορδάνου καὶ ἰδοὺ πᾶσα ἡ ὁδὸς πλήρης ἱματίων καὶ σκευῶν ὧν ἔρριψεν Συρία ἐν τῷ θαμβεῖσθαι αὐτούς καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν οἱ ἄγγελοι καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν τῷ βασιλεῖ
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.
καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ λαὸς καὶ διήρπασεν τὴν παρεμβολὴν Συρίας καὶ ἐγένετο μέτρον σεμιδάλεως σίκλου καὶ δίμετρον κριθῶν σίκλου κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα κυρίου
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.
καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς κατέστησεν τὸν τριστάτην ἐφ’ ὃν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπανεπαύετο ἐπὶ τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς πύλης καὶ συνεπάτησεν αὐτὸν ὁ λαὸς ἐν τῇ πύλῃ καὶ ἀπέθανεν καθὰ ἐλάλησεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ὃς ἐλάλησεν ἐν τῷ καταβῆναι τὸν ἄγγελον πρὸς αὐτόν
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.”
καὶ ἐγένετο καθὰ ἐλάλησεν Ελισαιε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα λέγων Δίμετρον κριθῆς σίκλου καὶ μέτρον σεμιδάλεως σίκλου καὶ ἔσται ὡς ἡ ὥρα αὕτη αὔριον ἐν τῇ πύλῃ Σαμαρείας
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.”
καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ τριστάτης τῷ Ελισαιε καὶ εἶπεν ἰδοὺ κύριος ποιεῖ καταρράκτας ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ μὴ ἔσται τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε ἰδοὺ ὄψῃ τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου καὶ ἐκεῖθεν οὐ φάγῃ
20 Hivyo ndivyo haswa kilichompata, kwa kuwa watu wakamkanyaga kwenye lango, na kufa.
καὶ ἐγένετο οὕτως καὶ συνεπάτησεν αὐτὸν ὁ λαὸς ἐν τῇ πύλῃ καὶ ἀπέθανεν
