The wife of one of the sons of the prophets appealed to Elisha, “My husband, your servant, is dead, and you know that he honored the Lord. But now to pay his debts his creditor is coming to take my two sons as his slaves!”
2 Te dongah Elisha loh anih te, “Nang ham balae kan saii eh? Im ah namah ham banim aka om kai taengah thui lah,” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Situi um bueng phoeiah tah na salnu ham he imkhui tom ah a tloe a om moenih,” a ti nah.
“What can I do to help you?” asked Elisha. “Tell me, what do you have in your house?” “I, your servant, don't have anything in my house except a jar of olive oil,” she replied.
3 Te phoeiah, “Cet, na imben tom lamkah neh a kaepvai lamkah am te namah ham dawt lah. Na imben kah am hoeng te hmaai boeh.
“Go and borrow empty jars from your neighbors—as many as possible, not just a few,” Elisha told her.
4 Na kun neh thohkhaih te khai lamtah namah hlip neh na ca rhoi hlip ah he am boeih he koei, aka bae te rhoe,” a ti nah.
“Then go inside, shut the door behind you and your sons, and start pouring olive oil into all these jars, placing the full jars to one side.”
5 Anih taeng lamloh a nong phoeiah tah amah hnuk neh a ca rhoi hnuk ah thohkhaih te a kaih. A ca rhoi loh a taengla a tawn pah dongah a hlawn mai a hlawn mai.
She left Elisha, went home, and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept on pouring.
6 Am rhoek te a bae vaengah tah a capa te, “Kai taengla am koep han khuen,” a ti nah. Tedae anih te, “Am om voel pawh,” a ti nah vaengah situi khaw pat.
When all the jars were full, she told her son, “Bring me another one.” But he replied, “There aren't any jars left.” Then the olive oil stopped flowing.

She went and told the man of God what had happened, and he said, “Go and sell the olive oil and pay your debts, and you and your sons can live on what's left.”

One day as Elisha was passing through Shunem, a wealthy woman who lived there convinced him to have a meal. After that, whenever he was passing by he would stop there to eat.

She told her husband, “I'm sure that this man who regularly visits us is a holy man of God.

Please let's make a small room on the roof, We can put a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp in it for him. Then he can stay there whenever he visits us.”
11 Hnin at vaengah tah te lam te pawk tangloeng. Te vaengah imhman la kun tih pahoi yalh.
One day Elisha arrived and went up to his room and lay down.
12 Te phoeiah a tueihyoeih Gehazi te, “Shunam nu he khue lah,” a ti nah dongah anih te a khue pah tih a mikhmuh ah a pai pah.
He said to his servant Gehazi, “Ask the Shunammite woman to come here.” Gehazi called her and she came to see Elisha.
13 Gehazih taengah, “Huta te, 'He kah thuennah cungkuem dongah kaimih rhoi ham na lakueng coeng he. Nang ham balae kan saii eh? Manghai taeng neh caempuei mangpa taengah nang yueng la thui ham koi om a?' ti nah,” a ti nah. Tedae, “Kai tah ka pilnam lakli ah kho ka sak,” a ti nah.
Elisha said to Gehazi, “Please tell her, ‘You have gone to a lot of trouble on our behalf. Now what can we do for you? Do you want us to speak for you to the king or the army commander?’” “I live with my own people,” she replied.
14 Te dongah, “Anih ham balae n'saii eh,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Gehazi loh, “Then, anih he ca a khueh moenih, a va khaw patong coeng,” a ti nah.
After she had left, Elisha asked, “What can we do for her?” “She doesn't have a son, and her husband is old,” Gehazi replied.
15 Te dongah, “Amah te khue lah,” a ti nah vanbangla amah te a khue pah tih thohka ah a pai pah.
Elisha said, “Ask her to come back.” So Gehazi called her, and she came stood by the door.
16 Te phoeiah, “Lomai tue kah khoning vaengah he nang te capa na kop ni,” a ti nah. Tedae, “Moenih, ka boei Pathen kah hlang aw, na salnu taengah laithae boeh,” a ti nah.
Elisha told her, “Around this time next year, you will be holding a son in your arms.” “No, my lord!” she responded. “Man of God, don't tell your servant lies!”
17 Tedae huta te vawn tih lomai tue kah khoning vaengah tah Elisha loh anih taengah a thui bangla capa a cun.
But the woman did indeed become pregnant, and the next year around that same time she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had promised her.
18 Camoe pantai tih hnin at ah tah a napa taengah cangat la cet.
The child grew up, but one day he when went out to see his father who was with the reapers,
19 Te vaengah a napa taengah, “Ka lu, ka lu,” a ti nah. Te dongah tueihyoeih pakhat taengah, “Anih he a manu taengla thak,” a ti nah.
he complained to his father, “My head hurts! My head hurts!” His father told one of his servants, “Carry him back to his mother.”
20 Anih te a phueih tih a manu taengla a pawk puei. Tedae khothun hil a manu khuklu dongah a ngol phoeiah duek.
The servant picked him up and took him back to his mother. The boy sat on her lap until noon, and then he died.
21 Te dongah cet tih camoe te Pathen hlang kah baiphaih dongah a yalh sak. Te phoeiah thoh a khaih thil tih khoe uh.
She went upstairs and laid him on the bed of the man of God. Then she shut the door behind her and left.
22 A va te a khue tih, “Kai he tueihyoeih pakhat, laak pakhat han tueih mai. Te daengah ni Pathen kah hlang taengla ka yong vetih tatloe la ka mael eh?,” a ti nah.
She called her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants and a donkey so I can run to the man of God and come back.”
23 Tedae, “Nang namah cing te anih taengah a balae tih na caeh khaw na caeh mai? Tihnin he hlasae moenih, Sabbath bal moenih,” a ti nah vaengah, “Ngaimong la,” a ti nah.
“Why do you need to go and see him today?” he asked. “It's not the New Moon or the Sabbath.” “Don't worry about it,” she replied.
24 Laak te a ngoldoelh phoeiah tah a tueihyoeih te, “Vai lamtah cet laeh, nang taengah ngol ham ka thui hlan atah kai ham he uelh boeh,” a ti nah.
She put the saddle on the donkey and told her servant, “Let's go quickly! Don't slow down for me unless I tell you to!”
25 Cet tangloeng tih Karmel tlang kah Pathen hlang taengla la pawk. Pathen kah hlang loh anih te rhaldan ah a hmuh coeng tih a tueihyoeih Gehazi taengah, “Shunam nu la ke,
So she set off, and went to the man of God who was at Mount Carmel. When he saw her way in the distance, the man of God told his servant Gehazi, “Look! There's the Shunammite woman!
26 Anih ke doe hamla yong laeh laeh. Anih te, 'Na sading a? Na va te a sading a? Camoe te a sading a?' ti nah,” a ti nah. Tedae huta loh, “Ka sading uh ngawn,” a ti nah.
Please run to meet her and ask her, ‘Is everything fine with you, your husband, and your boy?’” “Everything's fine,” she replied.
27 Tlang kah Pathen hlang taengla a pha vaengah a kho te a kop pah. Gehazi loh anih te thaek ham thoeih dae Pathen kah hlang loh, “Anih te hlah laeh, anih ham tah a hinglu paep coeng dae BOEIPA loh kai ham a phah tih kai taengah thui pawh,” a ti nah.
But when she got to the man of God at the mountain, she grabbed hold of his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for she's in terrible misery, but the Lord has hidden it from me and has not explained it to me.”
28 Te phoeiah, “Ka boeipa taengah capa kam bih nim? Kai he m'phok boeh ka ti moenih a?” a ti nah.
“Did I ask you for a son, my lord?” she asked. “Didn't I tell you, ‘Don't tell me lies’?”
29 Gehazi te, “Na cinghen yen lamtah na kut dongah kai kah conghol he pom. Yong lamtah hlang loh m'hmuh a khaw uem boeh. Hlang loh nang ng'uem akhaw doo boeh. Ka conghol he camoe maelhmai ah tloeng pah,” a ti nah.
Elisha said to Gehazi, “Put your cloak in your belt, pick up my staff, and go! Don't even say hello to anyone you meet, and if anyone says hello you, don't reply. Place my staff on the boy's face.”
30 Tedae camoe kah a manu loh, “BOEIPA kah hingnah neh na hinglu kah hingnah bangla nang kan hlah mahpawh,” a ti nah. Te dongah thoo tih a hnukah a vai.
But the boy's mother said, “As the Lord lives and as you live, I'm not leaving without you!” So he got up and went with her.
31 Gehazi tah amih rhoi hmai ah cet coeng tih conghol te camoe maelhmai ah a tloeng pah. Tedae ol om pawt tih hnatungnah khaw om pawh. Te dongah amah te doe hamla mael tih amah taengah a puen pah. “Camoe a haenghang moenih,” a ti nah.
Gehazi ran on ahead and placed the staff on the boy's face, but there was no sound or sign of life. So Gehazi went back to meet Elisha and told him, “The boy hasn't woken up.”
32 Elisha te im la a pawk vaengah tah camoe te anih kah baiphaih dongah a duek la tarha ana yalh pah.
When Elisha got to the house, there was the boy, lying dead on his bed.
33 Kun tih amah rhoi hnuk ah thohkhaih te a khaih phoeiah BOEIPA taengah thangthui.
He went in, shut the door behind them both, and prayed to the Lord.
34 Cet tih camoe soah a bakop thil. A ka neh a ka, a mik neh a mik, a kut rhoi khaw a kut neh a kut a ben. A soah a khup thil vaengah camoe kah pumsa te bae hang.
Then he got on the bed and lay on top of the boy, and put his mouth on the boy's mouth, his eyes on the boy's eyes, his hands on the boy's hands. As he stretched out on him, the boy's body warmed up.
35 Koep mael tih imkhui ah he la vai, he la vai cet. Koep yoeng tih a soah a khup thil vaengah tah camoe te voei rhih ikthi. Te daengah camoe loh a mik te a dai.
Elisha got up, walked back and forth once in the room, and then got back on the bed and stretched out on him again. The boy sneezed seven times and then opened his eyes.
36 Gehazi te a khue tih, “Shunam nu te khue laeh,” a ti nah. Anih te a khue tih a taengla a pawk pah vaengah tah, “Na capa he poeh laeh,” a ti nah.
Elisha called Gehazi and said, “Ask the Shunammite woman to come.” So he did. When she arrived, Elisha said to her, “Here's your son. You can pick him up.”
37 Anih te kun tih Elisha kah kho kung ah a yalh pah phoeih diklai la a bakop pah. Te phoeiah a capa te a loh tih cet.
She came in, fell at his feet, and bowed to the ground. Then she picked up her son and left.
38 Elisha te Gilgal la a mael vaengah khohmuen ah khokha pai. Te vaengah a mikhmuh ah tonghma ca rhoek a ngol pah dongah a tueihyoeih taengah, “Am len khueng lamtah tonghma ca rhoek ham andam thong pah,” a ti nah.
When Elisha went back to Gilgal, there was a famine in that area. The sons of the prophets were sitting at his feet, and he said to his servant, “Use the large pot and boil some stew for the sons of the prophets.”
39 Te dongah pakhat te lohma ah an yoep la cet. Te vaengah kohong sulyam a hmuh tih kohong hava thaih khaw a himbai a bae la a yoep. A mael vaengah andam am khuila a laep thil te ming uh pawh.
One of them went out into the countryside to pick herbs. He found a wild vine and picked as many wild gourds as his cloak could hold. Then he came back and chopped them up into the pot of stew. But nobody knew they were dangerous to eat.
40 Te phoeiah tah hlang rhoek loh a caak ham te a thui pah. Tedae andam te a caak uh van neh amih te pang uh tih, “Pathen hlang kah am dongah dueknah om,” a ti uh. Te dongah a caak uh ham khaw coeng uh pawh.
They served it to the men to eat, but when they tasted the stew they shouted, “There's death in the pot, man of God!” They couldn't eat it.
41 Te vaengah, “Vaidam lo uh dae,” a ti nah tih am khuiah a hlum phoeiah tah, “Pilnam ham thui pah laeh,” a ti nah. A caak uh vaengah am dongah a thae hno om voel pawh.
Elisha said, “Get some flour.” He threw it into the pot, and said, “Serve it to the people to eat.” There was nothing bad to eat in the pot.
42 Te phoeiah Baalshalisha lamkah hlang ha pawk tih Pathen hlang ham te thaihcuek buh la cangtun buh cun kul neh cangthai te a tolkhui dongah a khuen pah. Tedae, “Pilnam te pae lamtah ca uh saeh,” a ti nah.
A man from Baal-shalishah came to the man of God with a sack of firstfruits—the first grain of the year, along with twenty loaves of barley bread. “Give it to the people to eat,” said Elisha.
43 Te vaengah anih taengkah aka thotat rhoek loh, “Hlang yakhat kah mikhmuh ah he he metlam ka tawn eh?,” a ti nah. Tedae, “Pilnam taengah pae lamtah ca uh saeh. BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. A caak uh phoeiah coih bitni,” a ti nah.
“How can I serve just twenty loaves to a hundred men?” his servant asked. “Give it to the people to eat,” said Elisha, “for this is what the Lord says: ‘They will eat and there will still be some left over.’”
44 Amih mikhmuh ah a tawn pah tih a caak uh vaengah tah BOEIPA ol bangla a caknoi uh.
So he served the bread to them. They ate, and had some left over, just as the Lord had said.
