2 Kings 6
1 Àwọn ọmọ wòlíì sọ fún Eliṣa pé, “Wò ó, ní ibi tí a ti pàdé pẹ̀lú rẹ, ó kéré fún wa.
And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell before thee is too strait for us.
2 Jẹ́ kí àwa kí ó lọ sí Jordani, ní ibi tí ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan ti le rí ọ̀pá kan, jẹ́ kí àwa kí ó kọ́lé síbẹ̀ fún wa láti gbé.” Ó sì wí pé, “Lọ.”
Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye.
3 Nígbà náà ni ọ̀kan lára wọn wí pé, “Kí ó wù ọ́, èmí bẹ̀ ọ́, láti bá àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ lọ?” Eliṣa dá a lóhùn pé, “Èmi yóò lọ,”
And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go.
4 Ó sì lọ pẹ̀lú wọn. Wọ́n sì lọ sí Jordani wọ́n sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní gé igi.
So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood.
5 Bí ọ̀kan ṣe gé igi náà, àáké irin náà bọ́ sínú omi, ó kígbe sókè pé, “O! Olúwa mi, mo yá a ni!”
But as one was felling a beam, the axe-head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, my master! for it was borrowed.
6 Ènìyàn Ọlọ́run sì béèrè pé, “Níbo ni ó bọ́ sí?” Nígbà tí ó fi ibẹ̀ hàn án, Eliṣa gé igi kan ó sì jù ú síbẹ̀, ó sì mú irin náà fò lójú omi.
And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither, and made the iron to swim.
7 Ó wí pé, “Gbé e jáde.” Lẹ́yìn náà ọkùnrin náà na ọwọ́ rẹ̀ jáde ó sì mú un.
And he said, Take it up to thee. So he put out his hand, and took it.
8 Nísinsin yìí ọba Aramu wà ní ogun pẹ̀lú Israẹli ó sì bá àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ gbèrò, ó wí pé, “Èmi yóò ṣe ibùdó mi sí ibí yìí nínú èyí náà àti bí ibí yìí.”
Now the king of Syria warred against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.
9 Ènìyàn Ọlọ́run rán iṣẹ́ sí ọba Israẹli pé, “Kíyèsi ara láti kọjá ní ibẹ̀ yẹn, nítorí pé ará Aramu wọ́n sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ síbẹ̀.”
And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are coming down.
10 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọba Israẹli wo ibi tí ènìyàn Ọlọ́run náà fihàn, ní ẹ̀ẹ̀kan sí i Eliṣa kìlọ̀ fún ọba, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó wà lórí sísọ ní ibẹ̀.
And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he saved himself there, not once nor twice.
11 Èyí mú ọba Aramu bínú. Ó pe àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀, ó sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn pé, “Ṣé ìwọ kò ní sọ fún mi èwo nínú wa ni ó wà ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ ọba Israẹli?”
And the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel?
12 Ọ̀kan lára ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ sì wí pé, “Kò sí ọ̀kan nínú wa, olúwa ọba mi, ṣùgbọ́n Eliṣa, wòlíì tí ó wà ní Israẹli, sọ fún ọba Israẹli ọ̀rọ̀ gangan tí ó sọ nínú yàrá rẹ̀.”
And one of his servants said, Nay, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.
13 Ọba pa á láṣẹ, “Lọ, kí ẹ lọ wo ibi tí ó wà, kí èmi kí ó lè rán ènìyàn láti lọ mú un wá.” Ìròyìn padà wá wí pé, “Ó wà ní Dotani.”
And he said, Go and see where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
14 Nígbà náà ni ó rán àwọn ẹṣin àti kẹ̀kẹ́ àti ogun ńlá tí ó le síbẹ̀. Wọ́n sì lọ ní alẹ́ wọ́n sì yí ìlú náà ká.
Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.
15 Nígbà tí ìránṣẹ́ ènìyàn Ọlọ́run dìde ó sì jáde lọ ní òwúrọ̀ kùtùkùtù ọjọ́ kejì, ogun pẹ̀lú ẹṣin àti kẹ̀kẹ́ wọn ti yí ìlú náà ká. “Yé è, olúwa mi! Kí ni kí àwa kí ó ṣe?” ìránṣẹ́ náà béèrè.
And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host with horses and chariots was round about the city. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
16 “Má ṣe bẹ̀rù,” wòlíì náà dáhùn, “Àwọn tí ó wà pẹ̀lú wa, wọ́n pọ̀ ju àwọn tí ó wà pẹ̀lú wọn lọ.”
And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
17 Eliṣa sì gbàdúrà, “Olúwa, la ojú rẹ̀ kí ó ba à lè ríran.” Nígbà náà Olúwa la ojú ìránṣẹ́ náà, ó sì wò, ó sì rí òkè ńlá tí ó kún fún ẹṣin àti kẹ̀kẹ́ iná gbogbo yí Eliṣa ká.
And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
18 Bí àwọn ọ̀tá ṣe ń sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá níwájú rẹ, Eliṣa gbàdúrà sí Olúwa pé. “Bu ìfọ́jú lu àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí,” Olúwa sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí Eliṣa ti béèrè.
And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
19 Eliṣa sọ fún wọn pé, “Èyí kì í ṣe ọ̀nà bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èyí kì í ṣe ìlú náà. Tẹ̀lé mi, èmi yóò mú u yín lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọkùnrin tí ẹ̀yin ń wá.” Ó sì sìn wọ́n lọ sí Samaria.
And Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. And he led them to Samaria.
20 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n wọ ìlú náà, Eliṣa wí pé, “Olúwa, la ojú àwọn ọkùnrin wọ̀nyí kí wọn kí ó lè ríran.” Nígbà náà Olúwa la ojú wọn, wọ́n sì ríran, wọ́n sì wà níbẹ̀, nínú Samaria.
And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, LORD, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
21 Nígbà tí ọba Israẹli rí wọn, ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ Eliṣa pé, “Ṣé kí èmi kí ó pa wọ́n, baba mi? Ṣé kí èmi kí ó pa wọ́n?”
And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father; shall I smite them? shall I smite them?
22 “Má ṣe pa wọ́n,” ó dáhùn. “Ṣé ìwọ yóò pa àwọn ọkùnrin tí ìwọ mú pẹ̀lú idà rẹ tàbí ọrun rẹ? Gbé oúnjẹ àti omi síwájú wọn kí wọn kí ó lè jẹ kí wọn sì mu, nígbà náà kí wọn padà lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọ̀gá wọn.”
And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.
23 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó pèsè àsè ńlá fún wọn, lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n jẹ tí wọ́n mu, ó sì rán wọn lọ, wọ́n sì padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọ̀gá wọn. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹgbẹ́ láti Aramu dáwọ́ ìgbógunti ilẹ̀ Israẹli dúró.
And he prepared great provision for them: and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
24 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà díẹ̀, ni Beni-Hadadi ọba Aramu kó gbogbo àwọn ogun rẹ̀ jọ wọ́n sì yan sókè wọ́n sì dúró ti Samaria.
And it came to pass after this, that Ben-hadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
25 Ìyàn ńlá sì mú ní ìlú Samaria; wọ́n dúró tí ì tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí a fi ń ta orí kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ kan ní ọgọ́rùn-ún ìwọ̀n fàdákà àti ìdámẹ́rin òsùwọ̀n kábù imí ẹyẹlé, fún ìwọ̀n fàdákà márùn-ún.
And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass’s head was sold for fourscore [pieces] of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove’s dung for five [pieces] of silver.
26 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba Israẹli ti ń kọjá lọ lórí odi, obìnrin kan sọkún sí i pé, “Ràn mí lọ́wọ́, olúwa ọba mi!”
And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.
27 Ọba sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Bí Olúwa kò bá gbà ọ́, níbo ni èmi yóò gbé ti gbà ọ́? Láti inú ilẹ̀ ìpakà, tàbí láti inú ibi ìfúntí?”
And he said, If the LORD do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the threshing-floor, or out of the winepress?
28 Nígbà náà ọba béèrè lọ́wọ́ obìnrin náà pé, “Kí ni ó ṣẹlẹ̀?” Obìnrin náà dáhùn pé, “Obìnrin yìí wí fún mi pé, ‘Mú ọmọkùnrin rẹ wá kí àwa kí ó lè jẹ ẹ́ lónìí, ní ọ̀la àwa yóò jẹ ọmọkùnrin tèmi.’
And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.
29 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a ṣe ọmọkùnrin mi a sì jẹ ẹ́. Ní ọjọ́ kejì mo wí fún un pé, ‘Mú ọmọkùnrin rẹ wá kí àwa kí ó lè jẹ,’ ṣùgbọ́n ó ti gbé e pamọ́.”
So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.
30 Nígbà tí ọba gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ obìnrin náà, ó fa aṣọ rẹ̀ ya. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó sì ti ń kọjá lọ sí orí odi, àwọn ènìyàn wò ó níbẹ̀ ní abẹ́, ó ní aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ ní ara rẹ̀.
And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes; (now he was passing by upon the wall; ) and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh.
31 Ó sì wí pé, “Kí Ọlọ́run kí ó fi ìyà jẹ mí, àti jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ dájúdájú, pé orí ọmọkùnrin Eliṣa ọmọ Ṣafati kì ó wà ní ọrùn rẹ̀ ní òní!”
Then he said, God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.
32 Nísinsin yìí Eliṣa jókòó ní ilé rẹ̀ àwọn àgbàgbà náà jókòó pẹ̀lú rẹ̀. Ọba sì rán oníṣẹ́ síwájú rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n kí ó tó dé ibẹ̀, Eliṣa sọ fún àwọn àgbàgbà pé, “Ṣé ẹ̀yin kò rí bí apànìyàn ti ń rán ẹnìkan láti gé orí mi kúrò? Ẹ wò ó, nígbà tí ìránṣẹ́ náà bá dé, ẹ ti ìlẹ̀kùn kí ẹ sì dìímú ṣinṣin ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà, ìró ẹsẹ̀ olúwa rẹ̀ kò ha wà lẹ́yìn rẹ?”
But Elisha sat in his house; and the elders sat with him; and [the king] sent a man from before him: but ere the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away mine head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold the door fast against him: is not the sound of his master’s feet behind him?
33 Nígbà tí ó sì ń sọ̀rọ̀ sí wọn, ìránṣẹ́ náà sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá bá a. Ọba náà sì wí pé, “Ibi yìí láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa ni. Kí ni ó dé tí èmi yóò fi dúró de Olúwa sí i?”
And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of the LORD; why should I wait for the LORD any longer?
