< 2 Kings 4 >

1 Now a certain woman of the wives of the prophets cried to Eliseus, saying: Thy servant my husband is dead, and thou knowest that thy servant was one that feared God, and behold the creditor is come to take away my two sons to serve him.
Nitoreo amy Elisà ty rakemba raik’ amo tañanjomba’ o anam-pitokio, nanao ty hoe: Nihomake i valiko, mpitoro’oy, le fohi’o te nañeveñe am’ Iehovà i mpi­­toro’oy; vaho nipok’ eo ty mpampisongo hangalake ty ana-dahiko roe hon­devo’e.
2 And Eliseus said to her: What wilt thou have me to do for thee? Tell me, what hast thou in thy house? And she answered: I thy handmaid have nothing in my house but a little oil, to anoint me.
Le hoe t’i Elisà ama’e: Ino ty hanoeko ho azo? italilio, ino o hanaña’o añ’ anjomba’oo. Le hoe re: Tsy aman-draha añ’anjomba ao ty mpitoro’o ampela naho tsy vatavo menake raik’ avao.
3 And he said to her: Go, borrow of all thy neighbours empty vessels not a few.
Le hoe re: Akia, indramo vatavo amo mpitrao-tanañe ama’o iabio, vatavo kapaike; le ko mindrañe tsy ampeampe.
4 And go in, and shut thy door, when thou art within, and thy sons: and pour out thereof into all those vessels: and when they are full take them away.
Mimoaha amy zay vaho agabeño ama’o naho amy ana-dahi’o rey i lalañey, le adoaño amo vatavo iabio, vaho aviho ty pea.
5 So the woman went, and shut the door upon her, and upon her sons: they brought her the vessels, and she poured in.
Aa le nieng’ aze re naho narindri’e ama’e naho amo ana’eo i lalañey, le nandesa’ iereo vatavo vaho nañiliña’e.
6 And when the vessels were full, she said to her son: Bring me yet a vessel. And he answered: I have no more. And the oil stood.
Ie hene nipea o vatavoo, le hoe re amy ana’ey: endeso vatavo tovo’e. Fa hoe re ama’e: Tsy amam-batavo ka. Aa le nijihetse i menakey.
7 And she came, and told the man of God. And he said: Go, sell the oil, and pay thy creditor: and thou and thy sons live of the rest.
Nimb’eo re nitalily amy ‘ndatin’Añaharey. Le hoe re: Akia, aletaho i menakey, le ondroho i songoy le miveloma amy sisay, ihe naho i ana-dahi’o rey.
8 And there was a day when Eliseus passed by Sunam: now there was a great woman there, who detained him to eat bread; and as he passed often that way, he turned into her house to eat bread.
Ie te indraik’ andro, naho ho niranga i Sonamý t’i Elisà, le teo ty rakemba mpañarivo; nanjitse aze hikama mofo. Ie amy zao, ndra mbia’ mbia niary mb’ eo re le nitsile mb’eo hikama mofo.
9 And she said to her husband: I perceive that this is a holy man of God, who often passeth by us.
Le hoe re amy vali’ey: Inao, apotako te ondaty miavak’ aman’ Añahare i miary aman-tika nainai’ey.
10 Let us therefore make him a little chamber, and put a little bed in it for him, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick, that when he cometh to us, he may abide there.
Ehe, antao handranjy efetse kedek’ an-tafo ey naho hasian-tika fandreañe naho latabatse naho seza vaho fitàn-jiro ty ao ho aze; aa ie miheo mb’ aman-tikañ’ atoy, le ao ty hiziliha’e.
11 Now there was a certain day when he came and turned in to the chamber, and rested there.
Teo te indraik’ andro, niary eo re nimoak’ am-batsa ao le nandre.
12 And he said to Giezi his servant Call this Sunamitess. And when he had called her, and she stood before him,
Le hoe re amy Gekazý, mpitoro’ey, Kanjio i nte-Sonamiy. Aa le kinanji’e, vaho nijohañe añatrefa’e.
13 He said to his servant: Say to her Behold thou hast diligently served us in all things, what wilt thou have me to do for thee? hast thou any business, and wilt thou that I speak to the king, or to the general of the army? And she answered: I dwell in the midst of my own people.
Le hoe re amy mpitoro’ey, Isaontsio ty hoe: Hehe, niatrak’ anay rehe amo fañasoañe iabio; aa le inoñe ty hanoeñe ho azo? ho saontsieñe amy mpanjakay hao, ndra amy mpifehe i valobohòkeiy? Le hoe ty natoi’e: Mimoneñe am’ondatikoo raho.
14 And he said: What will she then that I do for her? And Giezi said: Do not ask, for she hath no son, and her husband is old.
Le hoe re, Ino arè ty hanoeñe? le hoe t’i Gekazý: Toe tsy aman’ ana-dahy re, vaho fa bey ty vali’e.
15 Then he bid him call her: And when she was called, and stood before the door.
Le hoe re, Kanjio. Aa ie nikanjia’e, inge ie nijohañe an-dalam-bey eo.
16 He said to her: At this time, and this same hour, if life accompany, thou shalt have a son in thy womb. But she answered: Do not, I beseech thee, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie to thy handmaid.
Le hoe re: Ie mibalike ty taoñe ami’ty andro tinendre toy, le hiotroñe ana-dahy rehe. Le hoe re: Aiy! ry talèko, ry ondatin’ Añahareo, ko mandañitse amo anak’ampata’oo.
17 And the woman conceived, and brought forth a son in the time, and at the same hour, that Eliseus had said.
Fe niareñe i rakembay, nisamak’ ana-dahy amy sa zay, ie nibalike ty taoñe, ty amy saontsi’ i Elisà ama’ey.
18 And the child grew. And on a certain day, when he went out to his father to the reapers,
Ie nibey i ajajay, le teo ty andro, t’ie nihitrike mb’aman-drae’e, mb’ amo mpanatakeo mb’eo.
19 He said to his father: My head acheth, my head acheth. But he said to his servant: Take him, and carry him to his mother.
Le hoe re aman-drae’e: Ty lohako, ty lohako. Le hoe re amy mpitoro’ey: Babeo mb’ aman-drene’e mb’eo.
20 And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, she set him on her knees until noon, and then he died.
Le nendese’e naho nasese’e aman-drene’e; ie nitobok’ añ’ongo’e eo am-para’ te tsipinde mena vaho nikenkañe.
21 And she went up and laid him upon the bed of the man of God, and shut the door: and going out,
Niañambone mb’eo re vaho nahitsi’e am-pandrea’ indatin’ Añaharey le narin­dri’e i lalañey vaho niakatse.
22 She called her husband, and said: Send with me, I beseech thee, one of thy servants, and an ass that I may run to the man of God, and come again.
Kinanji’e amy zao i vali’ey nanao ty hoe: Ehe, ahitrifo amako ty mpitoroñe, naho ty borìke, hihitrifako mb’ indatin’ Añaharey mb’eo vaho himpoly.
23 And he said to her: Why dost thou go to him? today is neither new moon nor sabbath. She answered: I will go.
Le hoe re, Ino ty handenà’o añe te anito? tsy pea-bolañe, tsy Sabata. Le hoe re: Mbe ho soa.
24 And she saddled an ass, and commanded her servant: Drive, and make haste, make no stay in going. And do that which I bid thee.
Aa le dinia’e i borìke’ey, le hoe re amy mpitoro’ey, Endeso, mionjona; le ko malaoñe ty amako naho tsy ivolañako.
25 So she went forward, and came to the man of God to mount Carmel: and when the mall of God saw her coming towards, he said to Giezi his servant: Behold that Sunamitess.
Le nionjomb’ am’ indatin’ Añahare am-bohi’ Karmeley re. Aa ie nahatalake aze indatin’ Añaharey te eroy, le hoe re amy Gekazý, mpitoro’ey: Ingo, eroy i nte-Sonamiy.
26 Go therefore to meet her, and say to her: Is all well with thee, and with thy husband, and with thy son? and she answered: Well.
Ehe mihitrihitrifa hifanalaka ama’e le añontaneo ty hoe: Jangam-b’iheo? mbe soa hao i vali’oy? mbe soa hao i ana’oy? le hoe ty navale’e: Mbe soa.
27 And when she came to the man of God to the mount, she caught hold on his feet: and Giezi came to remove her. And the man of God said: Let her alone for her soul is in anguish, and the Lord hath hid it from me, and hath not told me.
Ie pok’ amy ‘ndatin’ Añahare an-kaboañey, le nifihine’e o fandia’eo. Nimb’eo t’i Gekazý hameve aze; fa hoe indatin’ Añaharey: Apoho, fa mafaitse ama’e ty fiai’e, naho naeta’ Iehovà amako; tsy nitaroña’e.
28 And she said to him: Did I ask a son of my lord? did I not say to thee: Do not deceive me?
Le hoe re: Nisalala ana-dahy hao raho ry talèko? tsy nanoeko ty hoe hao: Ko mamañahy ahy?
29 Then he said to Giezi: Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go. If any man meet thee, salute him not: and if any man salute thee, answer him not: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.
Aa le hoe re amy Gekazý: Midiaña vania, rambeso am-pità’o i kobaikoy, le akia mb’eo; ie mifanalaka ama’ondaty, ko mañontane; ie añontaneane, ko manoiñe; le ampandreo an-tarehe’ i ajajay i kobaikoy.
30 But the mother of the child said: As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. He arose, therefore, and followed her.
Hoe ty rene’ i ajajay: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà, naho veloñe ty fiai’o, tsy hieng’ azo raho. Aa le niongake re nañorik’ aze.
31 But Giezi was gone before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child, and there was no voice nor sense: and he returned to meet him, and told him, saying: The child is not risen.
Niaolo iereo t’i Gekazý, le napo’e an-tarehe’ i ajajay i kobaiñey; fe po-feo naho fitsanoñañe. Nibalik’ amy zay re hifanalaka vaho natalili’e ty hoe: Mboe tsy nisotrake i ajajay.
32 Eliseus therefore went into the house, and behold the child lay dead on his bed.
Ie nimoak’ añ’ anjomba ao t’i Elisà zoe’e te nivetrake i ajaja nandre am-pandrea’ey.
33 And going in he shut the door upon him, and upon the child, and prayed to the Lord.
Aa le nizilik’ ao re naho narin­dri’e am’ ie roe i lalañey, vaho nihalaly amy Iehovà.
34 And he went up, and lay upon the child: and he put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he bowed himself upon him, and the child’s flesh grew warm.
Niongake re naho nandre amy ajajay, natoho’e am-bava’e ty falie’e; an-taña’e o fità’eo, amo maso’eo o fihaino’eo naho niatatse ama’e vaho nihamafana ty sandri’ i ajajay.
35 Then he returned and walked in the house, once to and fro: and he went up, and lay upon him: and the child gaped seven times, and opened his eyes.
Nibalike re, nibelobelo amy trañoy ao, le nibalike, nihitsy ama’e indraike; nihatsihe im-pito i ajajay vaho nabolana’ i ajajay o maso’eo.
36 And he called Giezi, and said to him: Call this Sunamitess. And she being called, went in to him: and he said: Take up thy son.
Tinoka’e t’i Gekazý ami’ty hoe: Kanjio i nte-Sonamiy. Le tinoka’e. Aa ie nimoak’ ao, hoe re: Intoy o ana’oo.
37 She came and fell at his feet, and worshipped upon the ground: and took up her son, and went out.
Nizilik’ ao re nibabok’ am-pandia’e eo, nidròdreke mb’an-tane naho rinam­be’e i ana-dahi’ey vaho niavotse.
38 And Eliseus returned to Galgal, and there was a famine in the land, and the sons of the prophets dwelt before him. And he said to one of his servants: Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.
Ie nibalike mb’e Gilgale mb’eo t’i Elisà; nisalikoeñe i taney; naho nitobok’ aolo’e o anam-pitokio, le hoe re amy mpitoro’ey, Apoho ama’e i valàñe jabajabay le anokono ahandro o anam-pitokio.
39 And one went out into the field to gather wild herbs: and he found something like a wild vine, and gathered of it wild gourds of the field, and filled his mantle, and coming back he shred them into the pot of pottage, for he knew not what it was.
Niakatse mb’an-tetek’ ey ty raike hitsongo añañe le naharendreke vahen’ ala naho tsinongo’e naho natsafe’e sarevazavozavo i siki’ey, vaho pinatepate’e am-balañe ao, fe tsy napota’e te inoñe.
40 And they poured it out for their companions to eat: and when they had tasted of the pottage, they cried out, saying: Death is in the pot, O man of God. And they could not eat thereof.
Aa le naili’ iareo hikama’ ondatio. Ie nikama amy natokoñey iereo le nipazake ty hoe, O ondatin’ Añahareo, fikoromahañe ty am-balàñe ao. Le tsy nahafikama ama’e iereo.
41 But he said: Bring some meal. And when they had brought it, he cast it into the pot, and said: Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was now no bitterness in the pot.
Aa hoe re, Endeso atoy i lilañey, le nadoa’e am-balàñe ao zay, le hoe re: Amoaro ondatio hikama, le tsy nijoy ka ty am-balàñe ao.
42 And a certain man came from Baalsalisa bringing to the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty leaves of barley, and new corn in his scrip. And he said: Give to the people, that they may eat.
Pok’ eo ka t’indaty boake Baale-salisà, ninday mofo boak’ amo loha-voao mb’am’ indatin’ Añaharey, vonga-mofo hordea roapolo; naho tsako-le an-koro’e ao. Le hoe re anjotso ondatio hikama.
43 And his servant answered him: How much is this, that I should set it before a hundred men? He said again: Give to the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the Lord: They shall eat, and there shall be left.
Fa hoe i mpitoro’ey, Akore ty hanjo­tsoako toy am’ondaty zatoo? Fa hoe re: Anjotsò ondatio hikama, fa hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Toe hikama iereo vaho hanisa.
44 So he set it before them: and they ate, and there was left according to the word of the Lord.
Aa le nanjotsoa’e le nikama iereo vaho nanisa, ty amy tsara’ Iehovày.
