2 Kings 4

1 Now a certain woman, the wife of one of the sons of the prophets, came crying to Elisha and said, Your servant my husband is dead; and to your knowledge he was a worshipper of the Lord; but now, the creditor has come to take my two children as servants in payment of his debt.

۱ و زنی از زنان پسران انبیا نزد الیشع تضرع نموده، گفت: «بنده ات، شوهرم مرد و تومی دانی که بنده ات از خداوند می‌ترسید، وطلبکار او آمده است تا دو پسر مرا برای بندگی خود ببرد.»

2 Then Elisha said to her, What am I to do for you? say now, what have you in the house? And she said, Your servant has nothing in the house but a pot of oil.

۲ الیشع وی را گفت: «بگو برای تو چه کنم؟ و در خانه چه داری؟ او گفت: «کنیزت را درخانه چیزی سوای ظرفی از روغن نیست.»

3 Then he said, Go out to all your neighbours and get vessels, a very great number of them.

۳ اوگفت برو و ظرفها از بیرون از تمامی همسایگان خود طلب کن، ظرفهای خالی و بسیار بخواه.

4 Then go in, and, shutting the door on yourself and your sons, put oil into all these vessels, putting on one side the full ones.

۴ و داخل شده، در را بر خودت و پسرانت ببندو در تمامی آن ظرفها بریز و هرچه پر شود به کناربگذار.»

5 So she went away, and when the door was shut on her and her sons, they took the vessels to her and she put oil into them.

۵ پس از نزد وی رفته، در را بر خود وپسرانش بست و ایشان ظرفها نزد وی آورده، اومی ریخت.

6 And when all the vessels were full, she said to her son, Get me another vessel. And he said, There are no more. And the flow of oil was stopped.

۶ و چون ظرفها را پر کرده بود به یکی از پسران خود گفت: «ظرفی دیگر نزد من بیاور.» او وی را گفت: «ظرفی دیگر نیست.» و روغن بازایستاد.

7 So she came to the man of God and gave him word of what she had done. And he said, Go and get money for the oil and make payment of your debt, and let the rest be for the needs of yourself and your sons.

۷ پس رفته، آن مرد خدا را خبر داد. واو وی را گفت: «برو و روغن را بفروش و قرض خود را ادا کرده، تو و پسرانت از باقی‌مانده گذران کنید.»

8 Now there came a day when Elisha went to Shunem, and there was a woman of high position living there, who made him come in and have a meal with her. And after that, every time he went by, he went into her house for a meal.

۸ و روزی واقع شد که الیشع به شونیم رفت ودر آنجا زنی بزرگ بود که بر او ابرام نمود که طعام بخورد و هرگاه عبور می‌نمود، به آنجا به جهت نان خوردن میل می‌کرد.

9 And she said to her husband, Now I see that this is a holy man of God, who comes by day after day.

۹ پس آن زن به شوهرخود گفت: «اینک فهمیده‌ام که این مرد مقدس خداست که همیشه از نزد ما می‌گذرد.

10 So let us make a little room on the wall; and put a bed there for him, and a table and a seat and a light; so that when he comes to us, he will be able to go in there.

۱۰ پس برای وی بالاخانه‌ای کوچک بر دیوار بسازیم و بستر و خوان و کرسی و شمعدانی درآن برای وی بگذرانیم که چون نزد ما آید، در آنجا فرودآید.»

11 Now one day, when he had gone there, he went into the little room and took his rest there.

۱۱ پس روزی آنجا آمد و به آن بالاخانه فرودآمده، در آنجا خوابید.

12 And he said to Gehazi, his servant, Send for this Shunammite. So in answer to his voice she came before him.

۱۲ و به خادم خود، جیحزی گفت: «این زن شونمی را بخوان.» و چون او را خواند، او به حضور وی ایستاد.

13 And he said to him, Now say to her, See, you have taken all this trouble for us; what is to be done for you? will you have any request made for you to the king or the captain of the army? But she said, I am living among my people.

۱۳ و او به خادم گفت: «به او بگو که اینک تمامی این زحمت را برای ما کشیده‌ای پس برای تو چه شود؟ آیا باپادشاه یا سردار لشکر کاری داری؟ او گفت: «نی، من در میان قوم خود ساکن هستم.»

14 So he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi made answer, Still there is this, she has no son and her husband is old.

۱۴ و او گفت: «پس برای این زن چه باید کرد؟» جیحزی عرض کرد: «یقین که پسری ندارد و شوهرش سالخورده است.»

15 Then he said, Send for her. And in answer to his voice she took her place at the door.

۱۵ آنگاه الیشع گفت: «او را بخوان.» پس وی را خوانده، او نزد در ایستاد.

16 And Elisha said, At this time in the coming year you will have a son in your arms. And she said, No, my lord, O man of God, do not say what is false to your servant.

۱۶ و گفت: «دراین وقت موافق زمان حیات، پسری در آغوش خواهی گرفت.» و او گفت: «نی‌ای آقایم؛ ای مردخدا به کنیز خود دروغ مگو.»

17 Then the woman became with child and gave birth to a son at the time named, in the year after, as Elisha had said to her.

۱۷ پس آن زن حامله شده، در آن وقت موافق زمان حیات به موجب کلامی که الیشع به او گفته بود، پسری زایید.

18 Now one day, when the child was older, he went out to his father to where the grain was being cut.

۱۸ و چون آن پسر بزرگ شد روزی اتفاق افتادکه نزد پدر خود نزد دروگران رفت.

19 And he said to his father, My head, my head! And the father said to a servant, Take him in to his mother.

۱۹ و به پدرش گفت: «آه سر من! آه سر من! و او به خادم خودگفت: «وی را نزد مادرش ببر.»

20 And he took him in to his mother, and she took him on her knees and kept him there till the middle of the day, when his life went from him.

۲۰ پس او رابرداشته، نزد مادرش برد و او به زانوهایش تا ظهرنشست و مرد.

21 Then she went up and put him on the bed of the man of God, shutting the door on him, and went out.

۲۱ پس مادرش بالا رفته، او را بربستر مرد خدا خوابانید و در را بر او بسته، بیرون رفت.

22 And she said to her husband, Send me one of the servants and one of the asses so that I may go quickly to the man of God and come back again.

۲۲ و شوهر خود را آواز داده، گفت: «تمنااینکه یکی از جوانان و الاغی از الاغها بفرستی تانزد مرد خدا بشتابم و برگردم.

23 And he said, Why are you going to him today? it is not a new moon or a Sabbath. But she said, It is well.

۲۳ او گفت: «امروز چرا نزد او بروی، نه غره ماه و نه سبت است.» گفت: «سلامتی است.»

24 Then she made the ass ready and said to her servant, Keep driving on; do not make a stop without orders from me.

۲۴ پس الاغ را آراسته، به خادم خود گفت: «بران و برو و تا تو را نگویم درراندن کوتاهی منما.»

25 So she went, and came to Mount Carmel, to the man of God. And when the man of God saw her coming in his direction, he said to Gehazi, his servant, See, there is the Shunammite;

۲۵ پس رفته، نزد مرد خدا به کوه کرمل رسید.

26 Go quickly to her, and on meeting her say to her, Are you well? and your husband and the child, are they well? And she said in answer, All is well.

۲۶ پس حال به استقبال وی بشتاب و وی را بگو: آیا تو را سلامتی است و آیا شوهرت سالم وپسرت سالم است؟» او گفت: «سلامتی است.»

27 And when she came to where the man of God was on the hill, she put her hands round his feet; and Gehazi came near with the purpose of pushing her away; but the man of God said, Let her be, for her soul is bitter in her; and the Lord has kept it secret from me, and has not given me word of it.

۲۷ و چون نزد مرد خدا به کوه رسید، به پایهایش چسبید. و جیحزی نزدیک آمد تا او را دور کنداما مرد خدا گفت: «او را واگذار زیرا که جانش دروی تلخ است و خداوند این را از من مخفی داشته، مرا خبر نداده است.»

28 Then she said, Did I make a request to my lord for a son? did I not say, Do not give me false words?

۲۸ و زن گفت: «آیا پسری ازآقایم درخواست نمودم، مگر نگفتم مرا فریب مده؟»

29 Then he said to Gehazi, Make yourself ready, and take my stick in your hand, and go: if you come across anyone on the way, give him no blessing, and if anyone gives you a blessing, give him no answer. And put my stick on the child's face.

۲۹ پس او به جیحزی گفت: «کمر خود راببند و عصای مرا به‌دستت گرفته، برو و اگر کسی را ملاقات کنی، او را تحیت مگو و اگر کسی تو راتحیت گوید، جوابش مده و عصای مرا بر روی طفل بگذار.»

30 But the mother of the child said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not go back without you. So he got up and went with her.

۳۰ اما مادر طفل گفت: «به حیات یهوه و به حیات خودت قسم که تو را ترک نکنم.» پس او برخاسته، در عقب زن روانه شد.

31 And Gehazi went on before them and put the stick on the child's face; but there was no voice, and no one gave attention. So he went back, and meeting him gave him the news, saying, The child is not awake.

۳۱ وجیحزی از ایشان پیش رفته، عصا را بر روی طفل نهاد اما نه آواز داد و نه اعتنا نمود، پس به استقبال وی برگشته، او را خبر داد و گفت که طفل بیدارنشد.

32 And when Elisha came into the house he saw the child dead, stretched on his bed.

۳۲ پس الیشع به خانه داخل شده، دید که طفل مرده و بر بستر او خوابیده است.

33 So he went in, and shutting the door on the two of them, made prayer to the Lord.

۳۳ و چون داخل شد، در را بر هر دو بست و نزد خداوند دعا نمود.

34 Then he got up on the bed, stretching himself out on the child, and put his mouth on the child's mouth, his eyes on his eyes and his hands on his hands; and the child's body became warm.

۳۴ و برآمده بر طفل دراز شد و دهان خود را بردهان وی و چشم خود را بر چشم او و دست خودرا بر دست او گذاشته، بر وی خم گشت و گوشت پسر گرم شد.

35 Then he came back, and after walking once through the house and back, he went up, stretching himself out on the child seven times; and the child's eyes became open.

۳۵ و برگشته، درخانه یک مرتبه این طرف و آن طرف بخرامید و برآمده، بر وی خم شد که طفل هفت مرتبه عطسه کرد، پس طفل چشمان خود را باز کرد.

36 And he gave orders to Gehazi, and said, Send for the Shunammite. And she came in answer to his voice. And he said, Take up your son.

۳۶ و جیحزی را آوازداده، گفت: «این زن شونمی را بخوان.» پس او راخواند و چون نزد او داخل شد، او وی را گفت: «پسر خود را بردار.»

37 And she came in, and went down on her face to the earth at his feet; then she took her son in her arms and went out.

۳۷ پس آن زن داخل شده، نزد پایهایش افتاد و رو به زمین خم شد و پسرخود را برداشته، بیرون رفت.

38 And Elisha went back to Gilgal, now there was very little food in the land; and the sons of the prophets were seated before him. And he said to his servant, Put the great pot on the fire, and make soup for the sons of the prophets.

۳۸ و الیشع به جلجال برگشت و قحطی درزمین بود و پسران انبیا به حضور وی نشسته بودند. و او به خادم خود گفت: «دیگ بزرگ رابگذار و آش به جهت پسران انبیا بپز.»

39 And one went out into the field to get green plants and saw a vine of the field, and pulling off the fruit of it till the fold of his robe was full, he came back and put the fruit, cut up small, into the pot of soup, having no idea what it was.

۳۹ و کسی به صحرا رفت تا سبزیها بچیند و بوته بری یافت وخیارهای بری از آن چیده، دامن خود را پرساخت و آمده، آنها را در دیگ آش خرد کردزیرا که آنها را نشناختند.

40 Then they gave the men soup from the pot. And while they were drinking the soup, they gave a cry, and said, O man of God, there is death in the pot; and they were not able to take any more food.

۴۰ پس برای آن مردمان ریختند تا بخورند و چون قدری آش خوردند، صدا زده، گفتند: «ای مرد خدا مرگ در دیگ است.» و نتوانستند بخورند.

41 But he said, Get some meal. And he put it into the pot, and said, Now give it to the people so that they may have food. And there was nothing bad in the pot.

۴۱ او گفت: «آردبیاورید.» پس آن را در دیگ انداخت و گفت: «برای مردم بریز تا بخورند.» پس هیچ‌چیز مضردر دیگ نبود.

42 Now a man came from Baal-shalishah with an offering of first-fruits for the man of God, twenty barley cakes and garden fruit in his bag. And he said, Give these to the people for food.

۴۲ و کسی از بعل شلیشه آمده، برای مرد خداخوراک نوبر، یعنی بیست قرص نان جو و خوشه‌ها در کیسه خود آورد. پس او گفت: «به مردم بده تا بخورند.»

43 But his servant said, How am I to put this before a hundred men? But he said, Give it to the people for food; for the Lord says, There will be food for them and some over.

۴۳ خادمش گفت: «اینقدر راچگونه پیش صد نفر بگذارم؟» او گفت: «به مردمان بده تا بخورند، زیرا خداوند چنین می‌گوید که خواهند خورد و از ایشان باقی خواهد ماند.»

44 So he put it before them, and they had a meal and there was more than enough, as the Lord had said.

۴۴ پس پیش ایشان گذاشت و به موجب کلام خداوند خوردند و از ایشان باقی ماند.
