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.
dixerunt autem filii prophetarum ad Heliseum ecce locus in quo habitamus coram te angustus est nobis
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.
eamus usque ad Iordanem et tollant singuli de silva materias singulas ut aedificemus nobis ibi locum ad habitandum qui dixit ite
3 And one said, Vouchsafe, I pray thee, to go with thy seruants, and he answered, I will goe.
et ait unus ex illis veni ergo et tu cum servis tuis respondit ego veniam
4 So he went with them, and when they came to Iorden, they cut downe wood.
et abiit cum eis cumque venissent ad Iordanem caedebant ligna
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.
accidit autem ut cum unus materiem succidisset caderet ferrum securis in aquam exclamavitque ille et ait eheu eheu eheu domine mi et hoc ipsum mutuo acceperam
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.
dixit autem homo Dei ubi cecidit at ille monstravit ei locum praecidit ergo lignum et misit illuc natavitque ferrum
7 Then he saide, Take it vp to thee. And he stretched out his hand, and tooke it.
et ait tolle qui extendit manum et tulit illud
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.
rex autem Syriae pugnabat contra Israhel consiliumque iniit cum servis suis dicens in loco illo et illo ponamus insidias
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.
misit itaque vir Dei ad regem Israhel dicens cave ne transeas in loco illo quia ibi Syri in insidiis sunt
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.
misit rex Israhel ad locum quem dixerat ei vir Dei et praeoccupavit eum et observavit se ibi non semel neque bis
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?
conturbatumque est cor regis Syriae pro hac re et convocatis servis suis ait quare non indicastis mihi quis proditor mei sit apud regem Israhel
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.
dixitque unus servorum eius nequaquam domine mi rex sed Heliseus propheta qui est in Israhel indicat regi Israhel omnia verba quaecumque locutus fueris in conclavi tuo
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.
dixit eis ite et videte ubi sit ut mittam et capiam eum adnuntiaveruntque ei dicentes ecce in Dothan
14 So he sent thither horses, and charets, and a mightie hoste: and they came by night, and compassed the citie.
misit ergo illuc equos et currus et robur exercitus qui cum venissent nocte circumdederunt civitatem
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?
consurgens autem diluculo minister viri Dei egressus est viditque exercitum in circuitu civitatis et equos et currus nuntiavitque ei dicens eheu eheu domine mi quid faciemus
16 And he answered, Feare not: for they that be with vs, are moe then they that be with them.
at ille respondit noli timere plures enim nobiscum sunt quam cum illis
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.
cumque orasset Heliseus ait Domine aperi oculos huius ut videat et aperuit Dominus oculos pueri et vidit et ecce mons plenus equorum et curruum igneorum in circuitu Helisei
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.
hostes vero descenderunt ad eum porro Heliseus oravit Dominum dicens percute obsecro gentem hanc caecitate percussitque eos Dominus ne viderent iuxta verbum Helisei
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.
dixit autem ad eos Heliseus non est haec via nec ista est civitas sequimini me et ostendam vobis virum quem quaeritis duxit ergo eos in Samariam
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.
cumque ingressi fuissent in Samaria dixit Heliseus Domine aperi oculos istorum ut videant aperuitque Dominus oculos eorum et viderunt esse se in medio Samariae
21 And the King of Israel sayde vnto Elisha when he sawe them, My father, shall I smite them, shall I smite them?
dixitque rex Israhel ad Heliseum cum vidisset eos numquid percutiam eos pater mi
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.
at ille ait non percuties neque enim cepisti eos gladio et arcu tuo ut percutias pone panem et aquam coram eis ut comedant et bibant et vadant ad dominum suum
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.
adpositaque est eis ciborum magna praeparatio et comederunt et biberunt et dimisit eos abieruntque ad dominum suum et ultra non venerunt latrones Syriae in terram Israhel
24 But afterward Ben-hadad King of Aram gathered all his hoste, and went vp, and besieged Samaria.
factum est autem post haec congregavit Benadad rex Syriae universum exercitum suum et ascendit et obsidebat Samariam
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.
factaque est fames magna in Samaria et tamdiu obsessa est donec venundaretur caput asini octoginta argenteis et quarta pars cabi stercoris columbarum quinque argenteis
26 And as the King of Israel was going vpon the wall, there cryed a woman vnto him, saying, Helpe, my lord, O King.
cumque rex Israhel transiret per murum mulier exclamavit ad eum dicens salva me domine mi rex
27 And he said, Seeing the Lord doeth not succour thee, howe shoulde I helpe thee with the barne, or with the wine presse?
qui ait non te salvet Dominus unde salvare te possum de area an de torculari dixitque ad eam rex quid tibi vis quae respondit
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,
mulier ista dixit mihi da filium tuum ut comedamus eum hodie et filium meum comedemus cras
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.
coximus ergo filium meum et comedimus dixique ei die altera da filium tuum ut comedamus eum quae abscondit filium suum
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)
quod cum audisset rex scidit vestimenta sua et transiebat super murum viditque omnis populus cilicium quo vestitus erat ad carnem intrinsecus
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.
et ait haec mihi faciat Deus et haec addat si steterit caput Helisei filii Saphat super eum hodie
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?
Heliseus autem sedebat in domo sua et senes sedebant cum eo praemisit itaque virum et antequam veniret nuntius ille dixit ad senes numquid scitis quod miserit filius homicidae hic ut praecidatur caput meum videte ergo cum venerit nuntius cludite ostium et non sinatis eum introire ecce enim sonitus pedum domini eius post eum est
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?
et adhuc illo loquente eis apparuit nuntius qui veniebat ad eum et ait ecce tantum malum a Domino est quid amplius expectabo a Domino
