2 Ruodhi 6
1 Kanyakla mar jonabi nowachone Elisha niya, “Neye, kaka kama wadakie kodini tin.
The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “The place where we live with you is too small for us all.
2 Wadhiuru Jordan mondo ngʼato ka ngʼato otongʼ yien kendo wagergo kama waduto wanyalo dakie.” Nowachonegi niya, “Dhiuru.”
Please let us go to the Jordan, and let every man cut down a tree there, and let us build us a place there where we may live.” Elisha answered, “You may go ahead.”
3 Eka achiel kuom jonabi nowachone Elisha niya, “Donge ber idhi kodwa?” Elisha nodwoke niya, “Abiro dhi kodu.”
One of them said, “Please go with your servants.” Elisha answered, “I will go.”
4 Kuom mano nodhi kodgi. Negidhi Jordan ma gichako tongʼo yien.
So he went with them, and when they came to the Jordan, they began to cut down trees.
5 To kane achiel kuomgi ne tongʼo yien, leye nolwar e pi. Noywak niya, “Yaye ruodha, korka ne en le mokwa!”
But as one was chopping, the ax head fell into the water; he cried out and said, “Oh no, my master, it was borrowed!”
6 Ngʼat Nyasaye nopenje niya, Ne olwar gi kanye? Kane onyise kama ne olwarie, Elisha nongʼado luth, monyume kanyo kendo wi le nolewore.
So the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” The man showed Elisha the place. He then cut off a stick, threw it in the water, and made the iron float.
7 Eka nowachone niya, “Kawe.” Eka ngʼatno norieyo lwete mokawe.
Elisha said, “Pick it up.” So the man reached out his hand and grabbed it.
8 Ruoth Aram nenie e lweny gi jo-Israel. Bangʼ kane osewinjore gi jodonge, nowacho niya, “Abiro goyo kambina kama chalo kama.”
Now the king of Aram was waging war against Israel. He consulted with his servants, saying, “My camp will be in such and such a place.”
9 Ngʼat Nyasaye nooro wach ne ruodh Israel kama: “Bed motangʼ kikalo kanyo nikech jo-Aram dhi buto kuno.”
So the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, “Be careful not to pass that place, for the Arameans are going down there.”
10 Omiyo ruodh Israel nokalo kanyo kotangʼ kaluwore gi wach mane ngʼat Nyasaye onyise. Kinde ka kinde Elisha ne siemo ruoth, mondo obed motangʼ ne kuondego.
The king of Israel sent a message to the place about which the man of God had spoken and warned him. More than once or twice, when the king went there, he was on his guard.
11 Wachni nochwanyo chuny ruodh Aram. Noluongo jodonge mowachonegi niya, “Bende unyalo wachona ngʼat ma jakorwa makonyo ruodh Israel?”
The king of Aram was enraged about these warnings, and he called his servants and said to them, “Will you not tell me who among us is for the king of Israel?”
12 Achiel kuom jodonge nowacho niya, “Ruodha onge ngʼatwa moro makonye, makmana Elisha janabi man Israel ema nyiso ruodh Israel gik moko duto miwacho kata ka in e odi mar nindo.”
So one of his servants said, “No, my master, king, for Elisha the prophet in Israel tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your own bedroom!”
13 Ruoth nogolo chik kawacho niya, “Dhiuru mondo udwar kama entie mondo adhi aor ji omake.” Wach noduogo kama: “En Dothan.”
The king replied, “Go and see where Elisha is so I may send men and capture him.” It was told him, “See, he is in Dothan.”
14 Eka ne ooro farese, geche lweny kod jolweny motegno kuno. Negidhi kuno gotieno ma gilworo dala maduongʼno.
So the king sent to Dothan horses, chariots, and a large army. They came by night and surrounded the city.
15 Kane jatich ngʼat Nyasaye ochiewo mo mondo kiny gokinyi, jolweny man-gi farese kod geche lweny ne oseluoro dala maduongʼno. Jatich nopenjo niya, “Yaye, ruodha, wabiro timore nade?”
When the servant of the man of God had risen early and gone outside, behold, a large army with horses and chariots surrounded the city. His servant said to him, “Oh, my master! What will we do?”
16 Janabi nodwoke niya, “Kik ubed maluor, nimar joma ni kodwa ngʼeny moloyo joma ni kodgi.”
Elisha answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
17 Kendo Elisha nolemo niya, “Jehova Nyasaye, yaw wangʼe mondo onen.” Eka Jehova Nyasaye noyawo wangʼ jatijno, kendo noneno farese kod geche lweny ewi got kolworo Elisha.
Elisha prayed and said, “Yahweh, I beg that you will open his eyes that he may see.” Then Yahweh opened the servant's eyes, and he saw. Behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha!
18 Kane oneno wasigu kalor biro machiegni kode, Elisha nolamo Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Lok jogi muofu.” Omiyo noloko jogi muofni mana kaka Elisha nosekwayo.
When the Arameans came down to him, Elisha prayed to Yahweh and said, “Strike these people blind, I ask you.” So Yahweh made them blind, just as Elisha had asked.
19 Elisha nokonegi niya, “Ma ok en yo kendo ma ok en dala maduongʼ. Luw-uru bangʼa kendo abiro terou nyaka ir ngʼat ma udwarono.” Kendo noterogi nyaka Samaria.
Then Elisha told the Arameans, “This is not the way, neither is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you are looking for.” Then he led them to Samaria.
20 Bangʼ kane gisedonjo e dala maduongʼno, Elisha nowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye yaw wangʼ jogi mondo ginen.” Eka Jehova Nyasaye noyawo wengegi kendo ka wengegi noyawore, to negiyudo ka gin Samaria.
It came about that when they had come into Samaria, Elisha said, “Yahweh, open the eyes of these men that they may see.” Yahweh opened their eyes and they saw, and behold, they were in the middle of the city of Samaria.
21 Kane ruodh Israel onenogi nopenjo Elisha niya, Wuora, anyalo negogi?
The king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, “My father, should I kill them? Should I kill them?”
22 Nodwoke niya, “Kik ineg-gi. Bende dineg joma isemako gi liganglani kata tongʼ? Migi chiemo gicham kod pi mondo gimodhi, eka mondo gidog ir ruodhgi.”
Elisha answered, “You must not kill them. Would you kill those whom you had taken captive with your sword and bow? Put bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.”
23 Omiyo ne olosonegi nyasi maduongʼ kendo kane gisetieko chiemo kod metho, ne oorogi ma gidok ir ruodhgi. Kuom oganda lweny mag Aram noweyo monjo piny Israel.
So the king prepared much food for them, and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went back to their master. Those bands of Aramean soldiers did not return for a long time into the land of Israel.
24 Bangʼ ndalo moko, Ben-Hadad ruodh Aram nochoko jolweny mage duto momonjo Samaria.
Later after this Ben Hadad king of Aram gathered all his army and attacked Samaria and besieged it.
25 Negilworo dalano amingʼa ma kech maduongʼ mane omako Samaria nomedore ma wi punda ne ingʼiewo gi fedha ma pekne romo kilo achiel, to ondongʼ mar owuoch akuru ningʼiewo gi fedha ma pekne romo achiel kuom apar mar kilo.
So there was a great famine in Samaria. Behold, they besieged it until a donkey's head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.
26 Kane ruodh Israel kalo machiegni gi ohinga mar dala maduongʼno, dhako moro noywak malit kawacho niya, “Konya, ruodha!”
As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, saying, “Help, my master, king.”
27 Ruoth nodwoke niya, “Ka Jehova Nyasaye ok konyi, ere kama dayudnie konyruok.” Dobed kar dino cham, koso kar biyo divai?
He said, “If Yahweh does not help you, how can I help you? Is there anything coming from the threshing floor or winepress?”
28 Eka nopenje niya, “Angʼo marach?” To nodwoke niya, “Dhakoni nowachona mondo agol wuoda mondo wacham kawuono to kiny en bende nogol wuode mondo wacham.”
The king continued, “What is troubling you?” She answered, “This woman said to me, 'Give your son so that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.'”
29 Omiyo ne watedo wuoda kendo wachamo. Kinyne ne awachone niya, In bende gol wuodi mi wacham, kare en to nosepando wuode.
So we boiled my son and ate him, and I said to her on the next day, “Give your son that we may eat him, but she has hidden her son.”
30 Kane ruoth owinjo weche dhakono noyiecho lepe. Wachni notimore ka ruoth ne wuotho ewi ohinga, mi ji nongʼiye, moneno korwako pien gugru ei lepe.
So when the king heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes (now he was passing by on the wall), and the people looked and saw that he had sackcloth underneath, against his skin.
31 Nowacho niya, “Mad Nyasaye chwada malit ka dipo kawuono ok angʼado wi Elisha wuod Shafat oko!”
Then he said, “May God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha son of Shaphat remains on him today.”
32 Koro noyudo Elisha obet e ode ka en gi jodonge. Ruoth nooro jootene motelo e nyime, to kane pok ochopo, Elisha nowachone jodonge niya, “Donge uneno ka koro janekni oro ngʼato mondo obi onega? Winjuru, ka jaote ochopo, to ulor dhoot matek ma kik odonji, nimar ruodhe luwo bangʼe machiegni.”
But Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. The king sent a man from before him, but when the messenger came to Elisha, he said to the elders, “See how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold the door shut against him. Is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?”
33 Kane pod owuoyonegi, jaote nochopo ire. Kendo ruoth nowachone niya, “Masirani oa mana kuom Jehova Nyasaye, omiyo onge tiende medo geno kuom Jehova Nyasaye.”
While he was still talking with them, behold, the messenger came down to him. The king had said, “Behold, this trouble comes from Yahweh. Why should I wait for Yahweh any longer?”
