< Kings IV 6 >

1 And the sons of the prophets said to Elisaie, Behold now, the place wherein we dwell before you is too narrow for us.
Ary hoy ireo zanaky ny mpaminany tamin’ i Elisa: Indro, tsy omby anay ny toerana izay itoeranay eto aminao.
2 Let us go, we pray you, to Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and make for ourselves a habitation there.
Masìna ianao, aoka hankany Jordana izahay, ka samy haka hazo iray avy any, dia hanao trano ho anay any mba hitoeranay. Ary hoy izy: mandehana ary ianareo.
3 And he said, Go. And one of them said gently, Come with your servants. And he said, I will go.
Fa hoy ny anankiray: Masìna ianao, aoka mba hiaraka amin’ ny mpanomponao ho any koa ianao. Ary izy namaly hoe: Handeha ihany aho.
4 And he went with them, and they came to Jordan, and began to cut down wood.
Ka dia niaraka taminy izy. Ary nony tonga tany Jordana ireo, dia nikapa hazo.
5 And behold, one was cutting down a beam, and the axe head fell into the water: and he cried out, Alas! master: and it was hidden.
Fa nony nikapa hazo ny anankiray, dia latsaka tany anaty rano ny lela-famaky; ka dia nitaraina hoe izy: Indrisy, tompoko, nindramina iny.
6 And the man of God said, Where did it fall? and he showed him the place: and he broke off a stick, and threw it in there, and the iron came to the surface.
Ary hoy ny lehilahin’ Andriamanitra: Taiza no nahalatsahany? Dia natorony azy izay nahalatsahany. Ary Elisa nanapaka hazo, ka natsipiny teo, dia nitsinkafona ilay lela-famaky.
7 And he said, Take it up to yourself. And he stretched out his hand, and took it.
Ary hoy izy: Indro, raisonao izy. Dia narosony ny tànany, ka noraisiny.
8 And the king of Syria was at war with Israel: and he consulted with his servants, saying, I will encamp in such a place.
Ary ny mpanjakan’ i Syria niady tamin’ ny Isiraely ka nilaza tamin’ ny mpanompony hoe: Any Anonana no hitobiako.
9 And Elisaie sent to the king of Israel, saying, Take heed that you pass not by that place, for the Syrians are hidden there.
Ary ilay lehilahin’ Andriamanitra kosa naniraka tany amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely nanao hoe: Tandremo fandrao mankany Ananona ianao; fa any no hidinan’ ny Syriana.
10 And the king of Israel sent to the place which Elisaie mentioned to him, and saved himself thence not once or twice.
Ary ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely naniraka tany amin’ izay nolazain’ ny lehilahin’ Andriamanitra taminy sy nananarany azy, ka nampiambina tany tsy indray mandeha, na indroa aza.
11 And the mind of the king of Syria was very much disturbed concerning this thing; and he called his servants, and said to them, Will you not tell me who betrays me to the king of Israel?
Dia sosotra indrindra ny fon’ ny mpanjakan’ i Syria noho izany zavatra izany; koa niantso ny mpanompony izy ary nanao taminy hoe: Tsy hambaranareo ahy va izay eto amintsika momba ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely?
12 And one of his servants said, Nay, my Lord, O king, for Elisaie the prophet that is in Israel reports to the king of Israel all the words whatever you may say in your bedchamber.
Ary hoy ny mpanompony anankiray: Tsy misy, ry mpanjaka tompoko; fa Elisa mpaminany ao amin’ ny Isiraely ihany no milaza amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely na dia izay teny lazainao ao amin’ ny trano fandrianao aza.
13 And he said, Go, see where this man [is], and I will send and take him. And they sent word to him, saying, Behold, [he is] in Dothaim.
Ary hoy ny mpanjaka: Andeha, izahao izay itoerany mba hanirahako hisambotra azy. Ary nolazaina taminy hoe: Indro, ao Dotana izy.
14 And he sent there horses, and chariots, and a mighty host: and they came by night, and compassed about the city.
Ary dia nampandeha soavaly sy kalesy ary miaramila be ho any izy; ka tonga alina ireo ary nanodidina ny tanàna.
15 And the servant of Elisaie rose up early and went out; and, behold, a host compassed the city, and horses and chariots: and the servant said to him, O master, what shall we do?
Ary rehefa nifoha maraina koa ny zatovon’ ny lehilahin’ Andriamanitra ka nivoaka, dia, indreo, nisy miaramila sy soavaly ary kalesy manodidina ny tanàna. Dia hoy ilay zatovo taminy: Indrisy, tompoko! Ahoana no hataontsika?
16 And Elisaie said, Fear not, for they who are with us [are] more than they that are with them.
Ary hoy Elisa: Aza matahotra; fa ny momba antsika dia be noho ny momba azy.
17 And Elisaie prayed, and said, Lord, open, I pray you, the eyes of the servant, and let him see. And the Lord opened his eyes, and he saw: and, behold, the mountain [was] full of horses, and there were chariots of fire round about Elisaie.
Ary Elisa nivavaka hoe: Jehovah ô, mifona aminao aho, ampahirato ny masony mba hahitany. Ary Jehovah nampahiratra ny mason’ ilay zatovo; ary dia nahita izy, ka, indro, ny tendrombohitra feno soavaly sy kalesy afo manodidina an’ i Elisa.
18 And they came down to him; and he prayed to the Lord, and said, Strike, I pray you, this people with blindness. And he struck them with blindness, according to the word of Elisaie.
Dia nidina nankany aminy ireo, ary Elisa nivavaka tamin’ i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Mifona aminao aho, ataovy manjambena ireto olona ireto. Ary dia nataony manjambena ireo araka ny tenin’ i Elisa.
19 And Elisaie said to them, This [is] not the city, and this [is] not the way: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek. And he led them away to Samaria.
Ary hoy Elisa taminy: Tsy ity no lalana, ary tsy ity no tanàna; fa manaraha ahy ianareo, dia hitondra anareo ho any amin’ ny lehilahy tadiavinareo aho. Dia nentiny nankany Samaria ireo.
20 And it came to pass when they entered into Samaria, that Elisaie said, Open, I pray you, O Lord, their eyes, and let them see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
Ary rehefa tonga tany Samaria izy ireo, dia hoy Elisa: Jehovah ô, ampahirato ny mason’ ireto mba hahitany. Ary Jehovah nampahiratra ny masony, dia nahita izy; ka, indro, tao afovoan’ i Samaria izy.
21 And the king of Israel said to Elisaie, when he saw them, Shall I [not] verily strike them, [my] father?
Ary nony nahita azy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, dia hoy izy tamin’ i Elisa: Ry ikaky ô, hasiako va izy? Hasiako va izy?
22 And he said, You shall not strike them, unless you would strike those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow: set bread and water before them, and let them eat and drink, and depart to their master.
Fa izy namaly hoe: Aza asianao izy; moa asianao izay nobaboinao tamin’ ny sabatrao sy ny tsipìkanao? Rosoy mofo sy rano eo anoloany mba hohaniny sy hosotroiny ary handehanany any amin’ ny tompony.
23 And he set before them a great feast, and they ate and drank: and he dismissed them and they departed to their master. And the bands of Syria came no longer into the land of Israel.
Dia nanao fanasana lehibe ho azy ny mpanjaka; ary rehefa nihinana sy nisotro ireo, dia nampandehaniny, ary dia nankany amin’ ny tompony izy. Koa dia tsy nankany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely intsony ny mpitoha adin’ i Syria.
24 And it came to pass after this, that the son of Ader king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
Ary rehefa afaka izany, Beni-hadada, mpanjakan’ i Syria, namory ny miaramilany rehetra, dia niakatra ka nanao fahirano an’ i Samaria.
25 And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was [valued] at fifty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung at five pieces of silver.
Dia nisy mosary mafy tany Samaria; fa indro, nanao fahirano azy ireo mandra-pahatongan’ ny loham-boriky ho lafo sekely valo-polo sy ny taim-boromailala ampahefatry ny kaba ho sekely dimy.
26 And the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, and a woman cried to him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.
Ary raha nitsangantsangana teny ambonin’ ny manda ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, dia nisy vehivavy nitaraina taminy hoe: Vonjeo aho, ry mpanjaka tompoko.
27 And he said to her, Unless the Lord help you, whence shall I help you? from the corn-floor, or from the wine-press?
Ary hoy ny mpanjaka: Raha tsy vonjen’ i Jehovah ianao, aiza no hamonjeko anao? Amin’ ny famoloana va, sa amin’ ny famiazam-boaloboka?
28 And the king said to her, What is [the matter] with you? And the woman said to him, This [woman] said to me, Give your son, and we will eat him today, and we will eat my son to-morrow.
Ary hoy koa ny mpanjaka taminy: Inona ary no alahelonao? Ary ravehivavy namaly hoe: Hoy ity vehivavy ity tamiko: Aiza ny zanakao hohanintsika anio, ary ny zanako kosa hohanintsika rahampitso.
29 So we boiled my son, and ate him; and I said to her on the second day, Give your son, and let us eat him: and she has hidden her son.
Ka dia nandrahoinay ny zanako ka nohaninay; ary nony ampitso, dia hoy izaho taminy: Aiza kosa ny zanakao mba hohanintsika? kanjo nafeniny ny zanany.
30 And it came to pass, when the king of Israel heard the words of the woman, [that] he tore his garments; and he passed by on the wall, and the people saw sackcloth within upon his flesh.
Ary nony nandre ny tenin-dravehivavy ny mpanjaka, dia nandriatra ny fitafiany; ary nitsangantsangana teny ambonin’ ny manda izy, ka hitan’ ny olona fa, indro lamba fisaonana no nataony manolo-koditra.
31 And he said, God do so to me and more also, if the head of Elisaie shall stand upon him this day.
Dia hoy izy: Hataon’ Andriamanitra amiko anie izany, eny, mihoatra noho izany aza, raha tsy hotapahina anio ny lohan’ i Elisa, zanak’ i Safata.
32 And Elisaie was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him; and [the king] sent a man before him: before the messenger came to him, he also said to the elders, Do you see that this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? See, as soon as the messenger shall have come, shut the door, and forcibly detain him at the door: [is] not the sound of his master's feet behind him?
Fa Elisa nipetraka tao an-tranony, ary ny loholona nipetraka tao aminy; ary ny mpanjaka naniraka olona avy teo aminy; fa raha tsy mbola tonga tany amin’ i Elisa iny iraka iny, dia hoy izy tamin’ ny loholona: Hitanareo va ny nanirahan’ ity zanaky ny mpamono olona ity hanapaka ny lohako? Izahao, ka raha avy ny iraka, dia arindrino ny varavarana, ary atoseho mafy hisakana azy; tsy eo aoriany koa va ny fingadongadon’ ny tongotry ny tompony?
33 While he was yet speaking with them, behold, a messenger came to him: and he said, Behold, this evil [is] of the Lord; why should I wait for the Lord any longer?
Ary raha mbola niresaka taminy izy, indro, nidina nankao aminy ny iraka ka nanao hoe: Indro, izao loza izao avy amin’ i Jehovah; ka inona intsony no anantenako an’ i Jehovah?
