2 Kings 6
1 And the children of the Prophets saide vnto Elisha, Behold, we pray thee, the place where we dwell with thee, is too litle for vs.
Gbe ɖeka la, nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo ƒe ha gblɔ na Elisa be, “Kpɔ ɖa, teƒe si míewɔa takpekpe kpli wò le la le sue na mí akpa.
2 Let vs nowe goe to Iorden, that we may take thence euery man a beame, and make vs a place to dwell in. And he answered, Goe.
Na míayi Yɔdan tɔsisi la to, ale be mía dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe natso ati eye míatsɔe atso teƒe aɖe si míanɔ.” Elisa gblɔ na wo be, “Miyi! Enyo, miate ŋu atu xɔ la faa.”
3 And one said, Vouchsafe, I pray thee, to go with thy seruants, and he answered, I will goe.
Nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka gblɔ be, “Míeɖe kuku kplɔ mí yi teƒea.” Elisa lɔ̃ hegblɔ be, “Mayi!”
4 So he went with them, and when they came to Iorden, they cut downe wood.
Ke eyi kpli wo. Woɖo Yɔdan tɔsisi la to eye wode asi atiawo tsotso me.
5 And as one was felling of a tree, the yron fell into the water: then he cryed, and said, Alas master, it was but borowed.
Esi nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka nɔ ati aɖe tsom la, eƒe fia do le fiati la me eye wòge ɖe tɔsisi la me. Nusrɔ̃la la do ɣli enumake be, “Oo, nye aƒetɔ, ɖe meɣe fia la hafi!”
6 And the man of God saide, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. Then he cut downe a piece of wood, and cast in thither, and he caused the yron to swimme.
Nyagblɔɖila la biae be, “Afi ka fia la ge ɖo?” Nusrɔ̃la la fia teƒe lae. Elisa lã ati aɖe da ɖe teƒea le tsia me eye fia la ho ɖe tsi la ŋgɔ enumake!
7 Then he saide, Take it vp to thee. And he stretched out his hand, and tooke it.
Elisa gblɔ nɛ be wòalée eye wòlée.
8 Then the King of Aram warred against Israel, and tooke counsell with his seruants, and said, In such and such a place shalbe my campe.
Gbe ɖeka esime Siria nɔ aʋa wɔm kple Israel la, Siria fia gblɔ na eƒe aʋakplɔlawo be, “Míaƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe teƒe aɖe.” Eyɔ teƒe la ŋkɔ na wo.
9 Therefore the man of God sent vnto the King of Israel, saying, Beware thou goe not ouer to such a place: for there the Aramites are come downe.
Elisa gblɔ na Israel fia enumake be, “Mègate ɖe teƒe sia ŋu o, elabena Siriatɔwo ɖo be yewoaƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe afi ma!”
10 So the King of Israel sent to the place which the man of God tolde him, and warned him of, and saued himselfe from thence, not once, nor twise.
Ale Israel fia la dɔ amewo ɖa be woayi aɖakpɔ teƒe si Mawu ƒe ame la fia. Elisa xlɔ̃ nu Israel fia enuenu tso nu siawo ƒomevi ŋuti ale wònɔa ŋudzɔ ɖe teƒe mawo ŋuti.
11 And the heart of the King of Aram was troubled for this thing: therefore he called his seruants and saide vnto them, Will ye not shewe me, which of vs bewrayeth our counsel to the king of Israel?
Nu sia wɔ nuku na Siria fia la. Eyɔ eƒe aʋafiawo ƒo ƒu eye wòbia wo be, “Mia dometɔ kae nye ameyomemɔfiala sia? Mia dometɔ kae le nye ɖoɖowo gblɔm na Israel Fia la?”
12 Then one of his seruants saide, None, my lorde, O King, but Elisha the Prophet that is in Israel, telleth the King of Israel, euen the wordes that thou speakest in thy priuie chamber.
Aʋakplɔlawo dometɔ ɖeka ɖo eŋu be, “Nye aƒetɔ fia bubutɔ, menye míawoe o, Elisa, nyagblɔɖila la gblɔa nya si nègblɔ le bebeme le wò xɔ gã me la na Israel fia la!”
13 And he said, Goe, and espie where he is, that I may sende and fetch him. And one tolde him, saying, Beholde, he is in Dothan.
Fia la ɖe gbe be, “Miyi miakpɔ afi si wòle ekema míaɖo asrafowo ɖa woayi aɖalée.” Woyi gbɔ va gblɔ na fia la be, “Elisa le Dotan!”
14 So he sent thither horses, and charets, and a mightie hoste: and they came by night, and compassed the citie.
Ale le zã aɖe me la, Siria fia ɖo aʋakɔ gã aɖe kple tasiaɖamwo kple sɔ geɖewo ɖa be woaɖe to ɖe du la.
15 And when the seruant of the man of God arose earely to goe out, beholde, an hoste compassed the citie with horses and charets. Then his seruant sayde vnto him, Alas master, howe shall we doe?
Esi nyagblɔɖila la ƒe subɔla fɔ ŋdi kanya eye wòdo ɖe xexe ko la, ekpɔ aʋawɔlawo, tasiaɖamwo kple sɔwo le afi sia afi. Edo ɣli bia Elisa be, “Aléle! Nye aƒetɔ, nu ka míawɔ fifia?”
16 And he answered, Feare not: for they that be with vs, are moe then they that be with them.
Elisa gblɔ nɛ be, “Mègavɔ̃ o! Elabena míaƒe aʋakɔ sɔ gbɔ, eye wòtri akɔ wu wo tɔ!”
17 Then Elisha prayed, and saide, Lord, I beseech thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the seruant, and he looked, and beholde, the mountaine was full of horses and charets of fyre round about Elisha.
Tete Elisa do gbe ɖa be, “Yehowa, ʋu nye subɔla ƒe ŋkuwo ne wòakpɔ nu!” Yehowa ʋu ɖekakpui la ƒe ŋkuwo eye wòte ŋu kpɔ dzosɔwo kple dzotasiaɖamwo le afi sia afi, le toa dzi.
18 So they came downe to him, but Elisha prayed vnto the Lord, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindnesse. And he smote them with blindnes, according to the worde of Elisha.
Esi Siriatɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ la lũ ɖe wo dzi la, Elisa do gbe ɖa be, “Yehowa, na woƒe ŋkuwo dzi natsyɔ.” Eye wòva eme nenema.
19 And Elisha said vnto them, This is not the way, neither is this the citie: follow me, and I will leade you to the man whome ye seeke. But he ledde them to Samaria.
Elisa yi ɖagblɔ na wo be, “Menye du si me yim miele hafi lae nye esia o. Du bubu mee mieva ɖo! Midze yonyeme eye makplɔ mi ayi ame si dim miele la gbɔ.” Ale Elisa kplɔ Siriatɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ blibo la yi Samaria!
20 And when they were come to Samaria, Elisha saide, Lord, open their eyes that they may see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw, and beholde, they were in the mids of Samaria.
Esi woɖo Samaria la, Elisa do gbe ɖa be, “Yehowa, ʋu woƒe ŋkuwo azɔ ale be woakpɔ nu.” Yehowa wɔ nu si Elisa bia eye Siria ƒe aʋawɔlawo dze sii be yewole Samaria, le Israel ƒe fiadu la me!
21 And the King of Israel sayde vnto Elisha when he sawe them, My father, shall I smite them, shall I smite them?
Esi Israel fia kpɔ wo la, edo ɣli bia Elisa be, “Fofonye, ɖe mawu woa? Mawu woa?”
22 And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them: doest thou not smite them that thou hast taken with thy sworde, and with thy bowe? but set bread and water before them, that they may eate and drinke and goe to their master.
Elisa ɖo eŋu be, “Kura o! Ɖe míewua ame siwo míelé le aʋa mea? Na nuɖuɖu kple nunono wo eye nàtrɔ wo ɖo ɖe wo de le woƒe amegã gbɔ.”
23 And he made great preparation for them: and when they had eaten and drunken, he sent them away: and they went to their master. So ye bands of Aram came no more into the land of Israel.
Ale Israel fia la ɖo kplɔ̃ gã aɖe na Siriatɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ la eye esi woɖu nu, no nu vɔ la, eɖo wo ɖe aƒe eye wotrɔ yi ɖe woƒe amegã gbɔ. Tso gbe ma gbe dzi la, Siria ƒe adzohawo megadoa ta ɖe Israelnyigba dzi o.
24 But afterward Ben-hadad King of Aram gathered all his hoste, and went vp, and besieged Samaria.
Ke emegbe la, Siria fia Ben Hadad ƒo eƒe aʋakɔ blibo la nu ƒu eye wòɖe to ɖe Samaria.
25 So there was a great famine in Samaria: for loe, they besieged it vntill an asses head was at foure score pieces of siluer, and the fourth part of a kab of doues doung at fiue pieces of siluer.
Nu sia na dɔ to le Samaria du la me. Esi dɔwuame sia nɔ anyi ɣeyiɣi didi aɖe ta la, tedzi ƒe ta xɔ klosaloga blaenyi eye sabala kpo ɖeka gɔ̃ hã xɔ klosaloga atɔ̃.
26 And as the King of Israel was going vpon the wall, there cryed a woman vnto him, saying, Helpe, my lord, O King.
Gbe ɖeka esime Israel fia nɔ tsa ɖim to dua ƒe gli dzi la, nyɔnu aɖe yɔe, gblɔ nɛ be, “Kpe ɖe ŋunye, nye aƒetɔ kple nye fia!”
27 And he said, Seeing the Lord doeth not succour thee, howe shoulde I helpe thee with the barne, or with the wine presse?
Fia la gblɔ nɛ be, “Ne Yehowa mekpe ɖe ŋuwò o ɖe, nu ka nye, amegbetɔ mate ŋu awɔ? Nuɖuɖu alo wain mele asinye mana wò o.
28 Also the King said vnto her, What ayleth thee? And she answered, This woman sayde vnto me, Giue thy sonne, that we may eate him to day, and we will eate my sonne to morowe,
Gbã la, nya kae dzɔ?” Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu be, “Nyɔnu sia gblɔ nam be míaɖa vinye ŋutsuvi aɖu eye le ŋkeke bubu dzi la, míaɖa ye hã ƒe viŋutsuvi aɖu.
29 So we sod my sonne, and did eate him: and I saide to her the day after, Giue thy sonne, that we may eate him, but she hath hid her sonne.
Ale míeɖa vinye ɖu, ke esi ŋu ke megblɔ nɛ be ‘Wò hã, wu viwò míaɖa ɖu egbe’ la, etsɔ via ɣla!”
30 And when the King had heard the wordes of the woman, he rent his clothes, (and as he went vpon the wall, the people looked, and behold, he had sackecloth within vpon his flesh)
Esi fia la se nya sia la, edze eƒe awuwo. Amewo de dzesii to afi si eƒe awuwo dze le la be edo akpanyawu ɖe awu si wòdze la te.
31 And he saide, God doe so to me and more also, if the head of Elisha the sonne of Shaphat shall stande on him this day.
Fia la ka atam be, “Mawu nefiam, wòagafiam ɖe edzi vevie ne Elisa, Safat ƒe viŋutsu la, ƒe ta aganɔ eƒe kɔ nu egbe.”
32 (Nowe Elisha sate in his house, and the Elders sate with him.) And the King sent a man before him: but before the messenger came to him, he saide to the Elders, See ye not howe this murtherers sonne hath sent to take away mine head? take heede when the messenger commeth, and shut the doore and handle him roughly at the doore: is not the sounde of his masters feete behinde him?
Elisa nɔ takpekpe me kple Israel ƒe ametsitsiwo le eƒe aƒe me. Fia la ɖo ame ɖa be woakplɔe vɛ. Ke hafi ame dɔdɔ la nava ɖo la, Elisa gblɔ na ametsitsiawo be, “Amewula sia ɖo ame aɖe ɖa be wòawum. Ne ame dɔdɔ la va ɖo la, mitu ʋɔa ɖe enu wòatsi ʋɔa godo elabena eƒe aƒetɔ akplɔe ɖo enumake.”
33 While he yet talked with them, beholde, the messenger came downe vnto him, and saide, Behold, this euill commeth of the Lord: should I attende on the Lord any longer?
Elisa mekpɔ ɖe nu le nya sia me hafi ame dɔdɔ la va do o. Fia la hã va do! Fia la gblɔ be, “Yehowae he dzɔgbevɔ̃e siawo katã vɛ. Nu ka ta makpɔ mɔ na kpekpeɖeŋu aɖe tso egbɔ?”
