2 Kings 7

1 Then said Elisha—Hear ye the word of Yahweh, —Thus, saith Yahweh—About this time to-morrow, a measure of fine meal for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.

Elisa buae se, “Tie saa asɛm yi fi Awurade nkyɛn! Sɛnea Awurade se ni: Ebedu ɔkyena sesɛɛ, wɔbɛtɔn asikresiam a wɔayam no muhumuhu lita asia agye dwetɛ gram dubaako wɔ Samaria egua biara so. Na atoko nso, wɔbɛtɔn lita du agye dwetɛ gram du abien pɛ.”

2 Then the officer on whose hand the king leaned responded to the man of God, and said, Even if Yahweh were making windows in the heavens, could this thing, come to pass? And he said—Lo! thou, art about to see it with thine own eyes, but, thereof, shalt thou not eat!

Ɔpanyin a ɔboa ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Onyankopɔn nipa no se, “Sɛ Awurade bue ɔsoro mfɛnsere mpo a, ɛremma saa da!” Na Elisa kae se, “Wubehu sɛ ɛbɛba mu saa, nanso worentumi nni emu biara bi.”

3 Now there were, four men, lepers, at the entrance of the gate, —and they said one to another—Why are, we, sitting here until we are dead?

Afei, mmarima akwatafo baanan bi bɛtenatenaa kurow no apon ano. Wobisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛtena ha twɛn ara kosi sɛ yebewuwu?

4 If we say—Let us enter into the city, Then, the famine, is in the city, and we shall die there, and, if we remain here, then shall we die. Now, therefore, let us fall away unto the camp of the Syrians, if they save us alive, we shall live, and, if they put us to death, we shall die.

Sɛ yɛtena ha a, ɔkɔm bɛde yɛn dodo; saa ara na sɛ yɛsan kɔ kurow no mu nso a, ɔkɔm bɛwe yɛn ara ne no. Enti ebeye sɛ yɛbɛkɔ, na yɛde yɛn ho bɛma Aramfo asraafo no. Na sɛ wɔma yɛtena ase a, na ne yiye mu ne no. Na sɛ wokunkum yɛn nso a, na ɛno ara ne no.”

5 So they rose up in the twilight, to enter into the camp of the Syrians, —and, when they entered the outskirts of the camp of the Syrians, lo! there was not there, a man.

Enti saa anwummere no, wosii mu kɔɔ Aramfo nsraban no mu, nanso na obiara nni hɔ.

6 Now, the Lord, had caused the camp of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, noise of horses, a noise of a great host, —and they said one to another—Lo! the king of Israel hath hired against us—the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come against us.

Na Awurade ama asraafo no nyinaa ate nteaseɛnam a ɛrekɔ mmirikaden no ne apɔnkɔ no ne asraafo dɔm kɛse a wɔrebɛn wɔn no nnyigyei. Wɔteɛteɛɛ mu se, “Israelhene afa Hetifo ne Misraimfo sɛ wɔmmɛtow nhyɛ yɛn so.”

7 So they arose, and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, —the camp, just as it was, —and fled for their lives.

Enti wɔbɔɔ huboa, na woguan anadwo no, gyaw wɔn ntamadan, apɔnkɔ, mfurum ne wɔn biribiara, de peree wɔn nkwa.

8 When, therefore, these lepers came in as far as the outskirts of the camp, they entered into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried from thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went away and hid them, —and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried from thence—and went and hid them.

Bere a akwatafo no duu nsraban no ano no, wɔn nyinaa wurawuraa ntamadan no mu mmaako mmaako didii, nom nsa, tasee dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ ne ntade de kosiei.

9 Then said they one to another—Not a right thing, are, we, doing. This day, is, a day of good tidings, and, we, are holding our peace, if we tarry until the light of the morning, there will come upon us, some misfortune, —Now, therefore, come and let us go in, and tell the household of the king.

Akyiri no, wɔkeka kyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Nea yɛreyɛ yi nye. Eyi yɛ asɛm papa a yɛmmɔɔ obiara amanneɛ. Na sɛ yɛtwɛn kosi adekyee a, nea ɛbɛyɛ biara, asotwe bi bɛda yɛn so. Momma yɛnkɔbɔ nnipa a wɔwɔ ahemfi no amanneɛ.”

10 So they came in and called unto the gate of the city, and told them, saying, We entered into the camp of the Syrians, and lo! there was not there, a man, nor sound of human being, —only horses tied, and asses tied, and their tents, just as they were!

Enti wɔsan baa kurow no mu, bɛbɔɔ aponanohwɛfo no asɛm a asi no ho amanneɛ sɛ wɔakɔ Aramfo no nsraban mu, na na obiara nni hɔ; nnyigyei biara nni hɔ. Na wɔasesa apɔnkɔ ne mfurum no ahama, na ntamadan no de, na ne nyinaa wɔ hɔ pɛpɛɛpɛ, nanso na onipa baako koraa nni hɔ.

11 And the watchers of the gate called and told it to the household of the king, within.

Aponanohwɛfo no teɛteɛɛ mu, kaa asɛm no maa nnipa a wɔwɔ ahemfi hɔ no tee.

12 Then arose the king by night, and said unto his servants, Let me tell you, I pray you, what the Syrians have done to us, —they knew that we were, famished, so they have gone forth out of the camp, to hide in the field, saying, When they come forth out of the city, then shall we take them alive, and, into the city, will we enter.

Ɔdasu mu na ɔhene no sɔre fii ne mpa so, ka kyerɛɛ ne mpanyimfo se, “Minim asɛm a asi. Aramfo nim sɛ ɔkɔm rekum yɛn nti, wɔatu afi wɔn nsraban mu, akɔtetɛw wuram baabi. Wɔrehwehwɛ sɛ yebefi kurow no mu, na wɔakyekyere yɛn anikann, na wɔafa kurow no.”

13 Then responded one of his servants, and said—Let there be taken, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which have been left therein, there they are, according to all the multitude of Israel who have been left therein, there they are, according to all the multitude of Israel, who have been consumed, —and let us send and see!

Mpanyimfo no mu baako kae se, “Eye sɛ yɛbɛsoma akwansrafo, na wɔakɔhwehwɛ mu. Momma wɔmfa apɔnkɔ a wɔaka no mu anum. Sɛ asɛm bi to wɔn koraa a, ɛrenyɛ adehwere kɛse biara sɛ wɔbɛtena ha ne yɛn a yɛaka no bewuwu.”

14 So they took two chariots and horses, —and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see!

Enti wosiesiee nteaseɛnam abien ne apɔnkɔ, na ɔhene no somaa akwansrafo kɔhwɛɛ asɛm a ato Aramfo asraafo no.

15 And they followed them as far as the Jordan, and lo! all the way, was full of garments, and utensils, which the Syrians had cast away in their fright, —and the messengers returned, and told the king.

Wɔkɔe ara koduu Asubɔnten Yordan, dii ntade ne ahyehyɛde a Aramfo atow agu no akyi, bere a na wɔde anikrakra reguan no. Akwansrafo no san bɛbɔɔ ɔhene no amanneɛ.

16 Then went the people forth and spoiled the camp of the Syrians, —and so there came to be—a measure of fine meal for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of Yahweh.

Enti Samariafo bɔɔ twi, kɔfow Aramfo nsraban no. Ɛno nti na ɛyɛ nokware sɛ wɔtɔn asikresiam a wɔayam no muhumuhu lita asia saa da no, de gye dwetɛ gram dubaako, atoko lita du nso, na wɔtɔn de gye dwetɛ gram du abien, sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ ho bɔ no pɛpɛɛpɛ.

17 Now, the king, had set the officer on whose hand he leaned, in charge over the gate, and the people trode upon him in the gate, that he died, —as spake the man of God, who said it when the messenger came down to him.

Ɔhene no yii ne panyin ma ɔhwɛɛ ɔpon no mu ahyɛmfiri so, nanso nnipadɔm no twiw faa ne so ma owui. Enti biribiara baa mu pɛpɛɛpɛ, sɛnea Onyankopɔn nipa no hyɛɛ ho nkɔm bere a ɔhene no baa ne fi no.

18 Yea it came to pass, as the man of God had spoken unto the messenger, saying, —Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine meal for a shekel, shall there be about this time to-morrow, in the gate of Samaria:

Onyankopɔn nipa no ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no se, “Ebedu ɔkyena sesɛɛ, wɔbɛtɔn asikresiam muhumuhu lita nsia agye dwetɛ gram du baako wɔ Samaria gua biara so. Na atoko nso, wɔbɛtɔn lita du agye dwetɛ gram du abien.”

19 And when the officer responded to the man of God, and said, Lo! then, if Yahweh were making windows in the heavens, could it be according to this word? And he said, —Lo! thou art about to see it with thine own eyes, but, thereof, shalt thou not eat.

Ɔhene no panyin no buae se, “Sɛ Awurade bue ɔsoro mfɛnsere mpo a, ɛremma saa da!” Na Onyankopɔn nipa no kae se, “Wubehu sɛ ɛbɛba mu saa, nanso worenni emu biara bi.”

20 Yea it fell out to him, thus, —and the people trode upon him in the gate, that he died.

Ɛno ara na ɛbaa mu, nnipa twiw faa ne so, kum no wɔ ɔpon no ano.
