< 2 Kings 4 >
1 Ìyàwó ọkùnrin kan láti ara ẹgbẹ́ wòlíì sọkún tọ Eliṣa wá, “Ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ọkọ mi ti kú, ó sì mọ̀ wí pé ó bu ọlá fún Olúwa. Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, onígbèsè rẹ̀ ti ń bọ̀ láti wá kó ọmọ ọkùnrin mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹrú rẹ̀.”
And one of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried to Elisaie, saying, Your servant my husband is dead; and you know that your servant feared the Lord: and the creditor is come to take my two sons to be his servants.
2 Eliṣa dá a lóhùn pé, “Báwo ni èmi ṣe lè ràn ọ́ lọ́wọ́? Sọ fún mi; kí ni ìwọ ní ní ilé rẹ?” Ó wí pé, “Ìránṣẹ́ rẹ kò ní ohunkóhun níbẹ̀ rárá, àyàfi òróró kékeré.”
And Elisaie said, What shall I do for you? tell me what you have in the house. And she said, Your servant has nothing in the house, except oil wherewith I anoint myself.
3 Eliṣa wí pé, “Lọ yíká kí o sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ gbogbo àwọn aládùúgbò fún ìkòkò òfìfo. Má ṣe béèrè fún kékeré.
And he said to her, Go, borrow for yourself vessels without of all your neighbours, [even] empty vessels; borrow not a few.
4 Nígbà náà, lọ sí inú ilé kí o sì pa lẹ́kun dé ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ ọkùnrin, dà òróró sínú gbogbo ìkòkò, gẹ́gẹ́ bí gbogbo rẹ̀ ti kún, kó o sí apá kan.”
And you shall go in and shut the door upon you and upon your sons, and you shall pour forth into these vessels, and remove that which is filled.
5 Ó sì fi sílẹ̀ lẹ́yìn náà ó ti ìlẹ̀kùn ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ rẹ̀ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀. Wọ́n gbé ìkòkò wá fún un ó sì ń dà á.
And she departed from him, and shut the door upon herself and upon her sons: they brought the vessels near to her, and she poured in until the vessels were filled.
6 Nígbà tí gbogbo ìkòkò náà kún, ó sọ fún ọmọ rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ gbé òmíràn fún mi wá.” Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n dáhùn pé, “Kò sí ìkòkò tí ó kù mọ́.” Nígbà náà ni òróró kò dà mọ́.
And she said to her sons, Bring me yet a vessel. And they said to her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.
7 Ó sì lọ ó sì lọ sọ fún àwọn ènìyàn Ọlọ́run, ó sì wí pé, “Lọ, ta òróró náà kí o sì san gbèsè rẹ. Ìwọ àti ọmọ rẹ kí ẹ máa sinmi lórí èyí tí ó kù.”
And she came and told the man of God: and Elisaie said, Go, and sell the oil, and you shall pay your debts, and you and your sons shall live of the remaining oil.
8 Ní ọjọ́ kan Eliṣa lọ sí Ṣunemu. Obìnrin ọlọ́rọ̀ kan sì wà níbẹ̀, ẹni tí ó rọ̀ ọ́ kí ó dúró jẹun. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni nígbàkígbà tí ó bá ń kọjá lọ, ó máa ń dúró níbẹ̀ láti jẹun.
And a day came, when Elisaie passed over to Soman, and [there was] a great lady there, and she constrained him to eat bread: and it came to pass as often as he went into [the city, that] he turned aside to eat there.
9 Ó sọ fún ọkọ rẹ̀, “Mo mọ̀ pé ọkùnrin tí ó máa ń sábà wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ wa jẹ́ ọkùnrin mímọ́ Ọlọ́run.
And the woman said to her husband, See now, I know that this [is] a holy man of God who comes over continually to us.
10 Jẹ́ kí a ṣe yàrá kékeré kan sórí ilé kí a sì gbé ibùsùn àti tábìlì oúnjẹ, àga kan àti fìtílà fún un. Nígbà náà ó lè dúró níbẹ̀ ní ìgbàkúgbà tí ó bá wá sọ́dọ̀ wa.”
Let us now make for him an upper chamber, a small place; and let us put there for him a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall come to pass that when he comes in to us, he shall turn in there.
11 Ní ọjọ́ kan nígbà tí Eliṣa wá, ó lọ sí orí òkè ní yàrá rẹ̀ ó sì dùbúlẹ̀ síbẹ̀.
And a day came, and he went in there, and turned aside into the upper chamber, and lay there.
12 Ó sì wí fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ Gehasi pé, “Pe ará Ṣunemu.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì pè é wá, ó sì dúró níwájú rẹ̀.
And he said to Giezi his servant, Call me this Somanite. and he called her, and she stood before him.
13 Eliṣa wí fún un pé, “Wí fún un, ‘Ìwọ ti lọ ṣe gbogbo àníyàn iṣẹ́ ìyìnrere fún wa. Nísinsin yìí kí ni a lè ṣe fún ọ?’” “Ṣé a lè jẹ́ agbẹnusọ fún ọ ní ọ̀dọ̀ ọba tàbí olórí ogun?”
And he said to him, Say now to her, Behold, you have taken all this trouble for us; what should I do for you? Hast you any request [to make] to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she said, I dwell in the midst of my people.
14 “Kí ni a lè ṣe fún obìnrin yìí?” Eliṣa béèrè. Gehasi wí pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, kò ní ọmọ, ọkọ rẹ̀ náà sì tún di arúgbó.”
And he said to Giezi, What must we do for her? and Giezi his servant said, Indeed she has no son, and her husband [is] old.
15 Nígbà náà Eliṣa wí pé, “Pè é,” bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì pè é, ó sì dúró ní àbáwọlé ẹnu-ọ̀nà.
And he called her, and she stood by the door.
16 Eliṣa sọ wí pé, “Ìwòyí ọdún tí ń bọ̀, ìwọ yóò fi ọwọ́ rẹ gbé ọmọ.” “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, olúwa mi!” n kò fi ara mọ́ ọn. “Jọ̀wọ́, ìwọ ènìyàn Ọlọ́run, ma ṣe ṣi ìránṣẹ́ rẹ lọ́nà!”
And Elisaie said to her, At this time [next year], as the season [is], you [shall be] alive, and embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, do not lie to your servant.
17 Ṣùgbọ́n obìnrin náà lóyún ní ọdún kejì ní àkókò náà, ó bí ọmọ ọkùnrin kan, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Eliṣa ti sọ fún un.
And the woman conceived, and bore a son at the very time, as the season was, being alive, as Elisaie said to her.
18 Ọmọ náà dàgbà, ní ọjọ́ kan, ó jáde lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ baba rẹ̀, ó wà pẹ̀lú àwọn olùkórè.
And the child grew: and it came to pass when he went out to his father to the reapers,
19 “Orí mi! Orí mi!” Ó wí fún baba rẹ̀. Baba rẹ̀ sọ fún ìránṣẹ́, “Gbé e lọ sọ́dọ̀ ìyá rẹ̀.”
that he said to his father, My head, my head. and [his father] said to a servant, carry him to his mother.
20 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ìránṣẹ́ náà ti gbé e sókè tí ó sì gbé e tọ ìyá rẹ̀ lọ, ọmọ ọkùnrin náà jókòó sórí ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ títí ó fi di ọ̀sán gangan, nígbà náà ó sì kú.
And he carried him to his mother, and he lay upon her knees till noon, and died.
21 Ó lọ sí òkè ó sì tẹ́ ọmọ náà lórí ibùsùn ènìyàn Ọlọ́run, ó sì tìlẹ̀kùn, ó jáde lọ.
And she carried him up and laid him on the bed of the man of god; and she shut the door upon him, and went out.
22 Ó pe ọkọ rẹ̀ ó sì wí pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ rán ọ̀kan lára àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ àti kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ kan kí èmi kí ó lè lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ènìyàn Ọlọ́run kíákíá kí n sì padà.”
And she called her husband, and said, Send now for me one of the young men, and one of the asses, and I will ride quickly to the man of God, and return.
23 “Kí ni ó dé tí o fi fẹ́ lọ sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ lónìí?” Ó béèrè. “Kì í ṣe oṣù tuntun tàbí ọjọ́ ìsinmi.” Ó wí pé, “Gbogbo rẹ̀ ti dára.”
And he said, Why are you going to him today? It is neither new moon, nor the Sabbath. And she said, [It is] well.
24 Ó sì di kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ ní gàárì ó sì wí fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Máa nìṣó; má ṣe dẹ́sẹ̀ dúró dè mí àyàfi tí mo bá sọ fún ọ.”
And she saddled the ass, and said to her servant, Be quick, proceed: spare not on my account to ride, unless I shall tell you. Go, and you shall proceed, and come to the man of God to mount Carmel.
25 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì jáde wá, ó sì wá sọ́dọ̀ ènìyàn Ọlọ́run ní orí òkè Karmeli. Nígbà tí ó sì rí i láti òkèrè, ènìyàn Ọlọ́run sọ fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ Gehasi, “Wò ó! Ará Ṣunemu nì!
And she rode and came to the man of God to the mountain: and it came to pass when Elisaie saw her coming, that he said to Giezi his servant, See now, that Somanite comes.
26 Sáré lọ pàdé rẹ̀ kí o sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, ‘Ṣé o wà dáradára? Ṣé ọkọ rẹ wà dáradára? Ṣé ọmọ rẹ wà dáradára?’” Ó wí pé, “Gbogbo nǹkan wà dáradára.”
Now run to meet her, and you shall say, [Is it] well with you? [is it] well with your husband? [is it] well with the child? and she said, [It is] well.
27 Nígbà tí ó dé ọ̀dọ̀ ènìyàn Ọlọ́run ní orí òkè, ó gbá a ní ẹsẹ̀ mú. Gehasi wá láti wá lé e dànù, ṣùgbọ́n ènìyàn Ọlọ́run wí pé, “Fi í sílẹ̀! Ó wà nínú ìpọ́njú kíkorò, ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa fi pamọ́ fún mi kò sì sọ ìdí rẹ̀ fún mi.”
And she came to Elisaie to the mountain, and laid hold of his feet; and Giezi drew near to thrust her away. And Elisaie said, Let her alone, for her soul [is] much grieved in her, and the Lord has hidden [it] from me, and has not told [it] me.
28 “Ṣé mo béèrè ọmọ lọ́wọ́ rẹ, olúwa mi?” Obìnrin náà wí pé, “Ṣé mi ò sọ fún ọ pé kí o, ‘Má ṣe fa ìrètí mi sókè’?”
And she said, Did I ask a son of my lord? For did I not say, Do not deal deceitfully with me?
29 Eliṣa wí fún Gehasi pé, “Ká agbádá rẹ sínú ọ̀já àmùrè, mú ọ̀pá mi sí ọwọ́ rẹ kí o sì sáré. Tí o bá pàdé ẹnikẹ́ni má ṣe kí i, tí ẹnikẹ́ni bá kí ọ, má ṣe dá a lóhùn, fi ọ̀pá náà lé ojú ọmọ ọkùnrin náà.”
And Elisaie said to Giezi, Gird up your loins, and take my staff in your hand, and go: if you meet any man, you shall not salute him, and if a man salute you you shall not answer him: and you shall lay my staff on the child's face.
30 Ṣùgbọ́n ìyá ọmọ náà wí pé, “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti ń bẹ láààyè àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti wà láààyè, èmi kò ní í fi ọ́ sílẹ̀.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì dìde ó sì tẹ̀lé e.
And the mother of the child said, [As] the Lord lives and [as] your soul lives, I will not leave you. And Elisaie arose, and went after her.
31 Gehasi sì ń lọ síbẹ̀ ó sì fi ọ̀pá náà lé ojú ọmọ náà, ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ohùn tàbí ìdáhùn. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Gehasi padà lọ láti lọ bá Eliṣa láti sọ fún un pé, “Ọmọ ọkùnrin náà kò tí ì dìde.”
And Giezi went on before her, and laid his staff on the child's face: but there was neither voice nor any hearing. So he returned to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.
32 Nígbà tí Eliṣa dé inú ilé, níbẹ̀ ni òkú ọmọ ọkùnrin náà dùbúlẹ̀ lórí ibùsùn.
And Elisaie went into the house, and, behold, the dead child was laid upon his bed.
33 Ó sì wọ ilé, ó sì ti ìlẹ̀kùn mọ́ àwọn méjèèjì ó sì gbàdúrà sí Olúwa.
And Elisaie went into the house, and shut the door upon themselves, the two, and prayed to the Lord.
34 Nígbà náà ó dé orí ibùsùn, ó sùn sórí ọmọ ọkùnrin náà, ẹnu sí ẹnu, ojú sí ojú, ọwọ́ sí ọwọ́. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti nà ara rẹ̀ lórí rẹ̀, ara ọmọ náà sì gbóná.
And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands; and bowed himself upon him, and the flesh of the child grew warm.
35 Eliṣa yípadà lọ, ó sì rìn padà ó sì jáde wá sínú ilé nígbà náà ó sì padà sí orí ibùsùn ó sì tún nà lé e ní ẹ̀ẹ̀kan sí i. Ọmọ ọkùnrin náà sì sín ní ìgbà méje ó sì ṣí ojú rẹ̀.
And he returned, and walked up and down in the house: and he went up, and bowed himself on the child seven times; and the child opened his eyes.
36 Eliṣa sì pe Gehasi ó sì wí pé, “Pe ará Ṣunemu.” Ó sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀. Nígbà tí ó dé, ó wí pé, “Gba ọmọ rẹ.”
And Elisaie cried out to Giezi, and said, Call this Somanite. So he called her, and she came in to him: and Elisaie said, Take your son.
37 Ó sì wọlé, ó sì kúnlẹ̀ síwájú ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ ó sì tẹ̀ orí sílẹ̀. Nígbà náà ó sì mú ọmọ rẹ̀ ó sì jáde lọ.
And the woman went in, and fell at his feet, and did obeisance [bowing] to the ground; and she took her son, and went out.
38 Eliṣa padà sí Gilgali ìyàn sì wà ní ilẹ̀ náà. Nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ wòlíì ṣe ìpàdé pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, ó sì wí fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Gbé ìkòkò ńlá ka iná kí o sì se ọbẹ̀ aláta díẹ̀ fún àwọn ọkùnrin yìí.”
And Elisaie returned to Galgala: and a famine [was] in the land; and the sons of the prophets sat before him: and Elisaie said to his servant, Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.
39 Ọ̀kan lára wọn jáde lọ sí orí pápá láti kó ewébẹ̀ jọ àti láti wá àjàrà igbó. Ó sì kó díẹ̀ nínú ẹ̀fọ́ gbọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ jọ, ó sì ka a kún aṣọ agbádá rẹ̀. Nígbà tí ó padà dé, ó sì gé wọn sínú ìkòkò ọbẹ̀, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé kò sí ẹni tí ó mọ ohun tí wọ́n ń jẹ.
And he went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a vine in the field, and gathered of it wild gourds, his garment full; and he cast it into the cauldron of pottage, for they knew [them] not.
40 Wọ́n da ọbẹ̀ náà jáde fun àwọn ọkùnrin náà, ṣùgbọ́n bí wọ́n ti bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní jẹ oúnjẹ náà, wọ́n sọkún jáde, “Ìwọ ènìyàn Ọlọ́run ikú ń bẹ nínú ìkòkò yìí!” Wọn kò sì le jẹ ẹ́.
And he poured it out for the men to eat: and it came to pass, when they were eating of the pottage, that behold! they cried out, and said, [There is] death in the pot, O man of God. And they could not eat.
41 Eliṣa sì wí pé, “Mú ìyẹ̀fun díẹ̀ wá,” Ó sì fi sínú ìkòkò ó sì wí pé, “Kí ó sì fi fún àwọn ènìyàn láti jẹ.” Kò sì sí ohun tí ó léwu nínú ìkòkò náà.
And he said, Take meal, and cast it into the pot. And Elisaie said to his servant Giezi, Pour out for the people, and let them eat. And there was no longer there any hurtful thing in the pot.
42 Ọkùnrin kan wá láti Baali-Ṣaliṣa, ó sì mú àkàrà àkọ́so èso, ogún ìṣù àkàrà barle, tí wọ́n dín láti ara àkọ́so èso àgbàdo, àti pẹ̀lú síírí ọkà tuntun nínú àpò rẹ̀ wá fún ènìyàn Ọlọ́run náà. Òun sì wí pé, “Fún àwọn ènìyàn láti jẹ.”
And there came a man over from Baetharisa, and brought to the man of God twenty barley loaves and cakes of figs, of the first fruits. And he said, Give to the people, and let them eat.
43 “Báwo ni èmi yóò ṣe gbé èyí ka iwájú àwọn ọgọ́rùn-ún ènìyàn?” ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ béèrè. Ṣùgbọ́n Eliṣa dá a lóhùn pé, “Gbé e fún àwọn ènìyàn láti jẹ, nítorí èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa sọ: ‘Wọn yóò jẹ yóò sì tún ṣẹ́kù.’”
And his servant said, Why should I set this before a hundred men? and he said, Give to the people, and let them eat; for thus says the Lord, They shall eat and leave.
44 Nígbà náà ó gbé e ka iwájú wọn, wọ́n sì jẹ ẹ́, wọ́n sì ní èyí tó ṣẹ́kù, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa.
And they ate and left, according to the word of the Lord.
