And a woman one from [the] wives of [the] sons of the prophets she cried out to Elisha saying servant your husband my he is dead and you you know that servant your he was fearing Yahweh and the creditor [is] about to come to take [the] two children my for himself to slaves.

And she went and she came to [the] man of God to [the] mountain of Carmel and it was when saw [the] man of God her from before and he said to Gehazi servant his there! [is] the Shunammite [woman] this.
26 Tu mmirika kohyia no, na bisa no se, ‘Wo ne wo kunu ne wo ba ho ye ana?’” Ɔbea no buae Gehasi se, “Yɛn nyinaa ho ye.”

And she came to [the] man of God to the mountain and she took hold on feet his and he drew near Gehazi to drive away her and he said [the] man of God refrain to her for self her it is bitter to her and Yahweh he has hidden from me and not he has told to me.
28 Na ɔbea no kae se, “Wo ara me wura, wo na wokae se, menya ɔbabarima. Na manka ankyerɛ wo sɛ mma memfa mʼani nto so?”
And she said ¿ did I ask for a son from with lord my ¿ not did I say not you must deceive me.
29 Na Elisa ka kyerɛɛ Gehasi se, “Boa wo ho, na mensoma wo, fa me pema no, na kɔ. Nkasa obiara ho wɔ ɔkwan so. Kɔ na fa pema no kɔto abofra no anim.”
And he said to Gehazi gird up loins your and take staff my in hand your and go if you will meet anyone not you must bless him and if he will bless you anyone not you must answer him and you will put staff my on [the] face of the lad.
30 Na abarimaa no na kae se, “Mmere dodow a Awurade te ase, na wo nso wote ase yi, merenkɔ fie gye sɛ woka me ho.” Enti Elisa san ne no kɔe.
And she said [the] mother of the lad [by] [the] life of Yahweh and [by] [the] life of self your if I will leave you and he arose and he went after her.
31 Gehasi yɛɛ ntɛm dii kan, de pema no kɔtoo abofra no anim, nanso biribiara ansi. Nkwa ho nsɛnkyerɛnne biara amma. Ɔsan nʼakyi kohyiaa Elisa, bɔɔ no amanneɛ se, “Abofra no nnyanee ɛ.”
And Gehazi he passed on before them and he put the staff on [the] face of the lad and there not [was] a sound and there not [was] attention and he went back to meet him and he told to him saying not he has awakened the lad.
32 Bere a Elisa duu hɔ no, ampa na abofra no awu da odiyifo no mpa so.
And he came Elisha the house towards and there! the lad [was] dead laid on bed his.
33 Ɔno nko kɔɔ hɔ, too ne ho pon mu, bɔɔ Awurade mpae.
And he went and he shut the door behind [the] two of them and he prayed to Yahweh.
34 Afei, obutuw abofra no so, de nʼano tuaa abofra no ano, de nʼani fam abofra no ani, de ne nsa susoo abofra no nsa. Afei, abofra no ho fitii ase yɛɛ hyew bio.
And he went up and he lay on the child and he put mouth his on mouth his and eyes his on eyes his and palms his on (palms his *Q(K)*) and he crouched over him and it became warm [the] flesh of the child.
35 Elisa sɔre, dii akɔneaba wɔ ɔdan no mu kakra. Afei, ɔdaa abofra no so bio. Saa bere no, abofra no nwansii mpɛn ason, na ɔtew nʼani.
And he went back and he walked in the house one [time] hither and one [time] hither and he went up and he crouched over him and he sneezed the lad until seven times and he opened the lad eyes his.
36 Afei, Elisa somaa Gehasi se, “Frɛ abofra no na bra.” Ne na no bae no, Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wo ba no ni, fa no kɔ.”
And he summoned Gehazi and he said summon the Shunammite [woman] this and he summoned her and she came to him and he said take up son your.
37 Ofi ahodwiriw mu hwee ne nan ase daa no ase. Afei, ɔfaa ne ba no, de no sian kɔɔ fam.
And she came and she fell at feet his and she bowed down [the] ground towards and she took up son her and she went out.
38 Elisa san kɔɔ Gilgal, nanso na ɔkɔm asi asase no so. Da bi a adiyifokuw tete nʼanim no, ɔka kyerɛɛ ne somfo se, “Fa ɔsɛn kɛse si gya so, na yɛ abɔmu ma saa mmarima yi.”
And Elisha he returned Gilgal towards and famine [was] in the land and [the] sons of the prophets [were] sitting before him and he said to servant his put on the pot large and cook cooked food for [the] sons of the prophets.
39 Wɔn mu baako kɔɔ wuram sɛ ɔrekɔpɛ atosode, na onyaa ɛfere kotoku ma de bae. Otwitwa de guu ɔsɛn no mu a na onnim sɛ awuduru wɔ mu.
And he went out one [man] to the field to gather herbs and he found a vine of [the] field and he gathered from it gourds of [the] field [the] fullness of garment his and he came and he sliced [them] into [the] pot of the cooked food for not people knew.
40 Na wodii kakraa bi pɛ, wɔteɛteɛ mu se, “Onyankopɔn nipa, awuduru wɔ abɔmu no mu!” Ɛno nti, wɔanni bio.
And they poured [it] out for [the] men to eat and it was when ate they some of the cooked food and they they cried out and they said death [is] in the pot O man of God and not they were able to eat [it].
41 Elisa kae se, “Mommrɛ me asikresiam kakra.” Ɔde guu ɔsɛn no mu, kae se, “Afei, ayɛ yiye nti munkodi.” Na anhaw wɔn bio.
And he said and fetch flour and he threw [it] into the pot and he said pour [it] out for the people so they may eat and not it was a thing bad in the pot.
42 Da bi, ɔbarima bi a ɔyɛ Baal-Salisani brɛɛ Onyankopɔn nipa no atoko foforo kotoku ma, ne brodo mua aduonu. Elisa kae se, “Fa ma adiyifokuw no, na wonni.”
And a man he came from Baal Shalisha and he brought to [the] man of God bread of first-fruits twenty bread[s] of barley and new corn in sack his and he said give [it] to the people so they may eat.
43 Ɔsomfo no teɛɛ mu se, “Wuse dɛn? Kakra yi na yɛmfa mma nnipa ɔha yi ana?” Nanso Elisa tii mu se, “Fa ma adiyifokuw no na wonni, na Awurade ka se, ‘Obiara bedi amee, na bi mpo bɛka akyi.’”
And he said servant his what? will I put this before a hundred man and he said give [it] to the people so they may eat for thus he says Yahweh they will eat and they will have more than enough.
44 Na ampa ara, obiara didi mee ma bi mpo kae, sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ ho bɔ no.
And he put [it] before them and they ate and they had more than enough according to [the] word of Yahweh.
