2 Kings 7
1 Elisha replied to the king, “Listen to what Yahweh says: ‘He says that by this time tomorrow, at the marketplace here in Samaria, you will be able to buy (ten pounds/five kg.) of fine wheat or (20 pounds/ten kg.) of barley for [only] one piece of silver.’”
Miingon si Eliseo, “Paminawa ang pulong ni Yahweh. Mao kini ang giingon ni Yahweh: 'Ugmang adlawa sama niining taknaa mabaligya ang usa ka takos nga harina sa usa lamang ka shekel, ug ang duha ka takos nga sebada alang sa usa ka shekel, didto sa ganghaan sa Samaria.'”
2 The king’s officer said to Elijah, “That cannot happen! Even if Yahweh himself would open the windows of the sky [and send grain down to us], that certainly could not [RHQ] happen!” Elisha replied, “[Because you said that, ] you [SYN] will see it happen, but you will not be able to eat any of the food!”
Unya mitubag ang kapitan nga sinaligan sa hari ngadto sa tawo sa Dios, ug miingon, “Tan-awa, bisan pa ug maghimo si Yahweh ug mga bintana sa langit, mahitabo ba kining butanga?” Mitubag si Eliseo, “Tan-awa, makita mo kini nga mahitabo sa imong kaugalingon nga mga mata, apan dili ka makakaon niini.”
3 That day there were four men who had (leprosy/a dreaded skin disease) who were sitting outside the gate of Samaria [city. They said to each other, “(Why should we] wait here until we die?/[It is ridiculous for us to] wait here until we die.) [RHQ]
Karon adunay upat ka mga lalaki nga sanglahon gawas sa ganghaan sa siyudad. Nag-istoryahanay sila sa usag usa, “Nganong maglingkod lamang kita dinhi hangtod mamatay kita?
4 If we go into the city, we will die there, because there is no food there. If we remain sitting here, we will die here. So let’s go to where the army of Syria has set up their tents. If they kill us, we will die. But if they allow us to remain alive, we will not die.”
Kung moingon kita nga mangadto kita didto sa siyudad, unya ang kagutom anaa sa siyudad, ug mangamatay kita didto. Apan kung magpadayon kita sa paglingkod dinhi, mamatay gihapon kita. Busa karon, dali, mangadto kita sa kasundalohan sa mga Arameanhon. Kung buhion kita nila, mabuhi kita, ug kung patyon kita nila, mamatay gayod kita.”
5 So when it was getting dark, those four men went to the camp where the army of Syria had set up their tents. But when they reached the camp, they saw that there was no one there!
Busa mibangon sila pagkakilom-kilom ug miadto sa kampo sa Arameanhon; sa pag-abot nila sa kinatumyan nga bahin sa kampo, walay bisan usa ka tawo didto.
6 What had happened was that Yahweh had caused the army of Syria to hear something that sounded like a large army marching with chariots and horses. So they said to each other, “Listen! The king of Israel has hired the kings of Egypt and the Heth people-group [and their armies], and they have come to attack us!”
Kay gipadungog sa Ginoo ang kasundalohan sa Aram ug kasaba sa mga karwahe, ug kasaba sa mga kabayo—ang kasaba sa laing dako nga kasundalohan, ug miingon sila sa matag usa, “Gisuholan sa hari sa Israel ang mga hari sa mga Hitihanon ug sa Ehiptohanon aron pag-anhi batok kanato.”
7 So they all ran away that evening and left their tents and their horses and donkeys there, because [they were afraid that] they would be killed [if they stayed there].
Busa namangon ang mga sundalo ug miikyas pagkakilom-kilom; gibiyaan nila ang ilang mga tolda, ilang mga kabayo, ilang mga asno, ug ang kampo nga sama gihapon, ug miikyas sila alang sa ilang mga kinabuhi.
8 When those four lepers came to the edge of the area where the soldiers of Syria had set up their tents, they went into one tent, [and saw all the things that had been left there]. So they ate and drank what was there, and they took the silver and the gold and clothes. Then they went [outside the tent] and hid those things. Then they entered another tent, and took things from there, and then went outside and hid them, also.
Sa dihang miabot ang mga tawong sanglahon ngadto sa kinatumyang bahin sa kampo, misulod sila sa usa ka tolda ug mikaon ug miinom, ug nagdala sila ug plata ug bulawan ug mga bisti, ug milakaw ug gitagoan kini. Mibalik napud sila ug misulod sa laing tolda ug nagbitbit ug mga inilog gikan gihapon didto, milakaw ug gitagoan kini.
9 But then they said to each other, “We are not doing what is right. We have good news [to tell others] today. If we do not tell it to anyone now, and if we wait until morning to tell it, we will certainly be punished [by Yahweh]. So let’s go right now to the palace and tell it to the king’s officials!”
Unya nagsultihanay sila sa usag usa, “Wala kita nagbuhat sa matarong. Karong adlawa ang adlaw sa maayong balita, apan naghilom lamang kita mahitungod niini. Kung maghulat pa kita hangtod sa banag-banag, masilotan gayod kita. Busa karon, dali, manlakaw kita ug sultihan ang panimalay sa hari.”
10 So they went to the guards at the city gates and called out to them, “We went to where the army of Syria had set up their tents, but we did not see or hear anyone there. Their horses and donkeys were still tied up, but their tents were all deserted/abandoned!”
Busa miadto sila ug gitawag ang mga tigbantay sa ganghaan sa siyudad. Nanugilon sila kanila, nga nag-ingon, “Nangadto kami sa kampo sa mga Arameanhon, apan walay bisan usa ka tawo didto, walay tingog sa bisan kinsa, apan adunay mga kabayo, ug mga asno nga gipanghiktan, ug ang mga tolda mao sa gihapon.”
11 The guards shouted the news, and some people [who heard it] went to the palace and reported it there.
Unya misinggit ang mga tigbantay sa ganghaan mahitungod sa balita, ug unya gisugilon kini sa sulod sa panimalay sa hari.
12 [When] the king [heard it, he] got up out of his bed and said to his officials, “I will tell you what the army of Syria is planning to do. They know that we have no food here, so they have left their tents and are hiding in the fields. They think that we will leave the city [to find some food], and then they will capture us and capture the city.”
Unya mibangon ang hari panahon sa kagabhion ug miingon sa iyang mga sulugoon, “Isugilon ko kaninyo kung unsay gibuhat karon sa mga Arameanhon kanato. Nasayod sila nga gipanggutom kita, busa migawas sila sa ilang kampo aron pagtago sa ilang mga kaugalingon ngadto sa kaumahan. Miingon sila, 'Kung manggawas sila sa siyudad, dakpon nato sila nga buhi, ug manulod ngadto sa siyudad.'”
13 But one of his officials said, “Many of our Israeli people have already died [from (hunger/not having anything to eat]). If those of us who are still alive all stay here, we also will die anyway. So let’s send some men with five of our horses that are still alive to go and see [what has really happened].”
Mitubag ug miingon ang usa sa mga sulugoon sa hari, “Nagpakiluoy ako kanimo, tugoti ang pipila ka mga tawo sa pagdala ug lima ka mga kabayo nga nahibilin, kadtong nabilin sa siyudad. Sama sila sa gidaghanon sa tanang panon sa Israel nga nangabilin—halos tanan nangamatay na; ipadala nato sila ug tan-awon nato.”
14 So they chose some men and told them to go in a chariot and find out what had happened to the army of Syria.
Busa gidala nila ang duha ka mga karwahe uban ang mga kabayo, ug gipadala sila sa hari ngadto sa kasundalohan sa mga Arameanhon, nga nag-ingon, “Lakaw ug tan-awa.”
15 They went as far as the Jordan [River]. All along the road they saw clothes and equipment that the soldiers from Syria had thrown away while they were running away very quickly. So the men returned to the king and reported [what they had seen].
Miadto sila sunod kanila paingon sa Jordan, ug ang tanang agianan napuno sa mga bisti ug mga himan nga nabiyaan sa mga Arameanhon sa ilang pagdalidali. Busa mibalik ang mga mensahero ug misugilon sa hari.
16 Then many of the people of Samaria also went [out of the city and went] to where the army of Syria had previously set up their tents. They entered all the tents and took everything. [So there was now plenty of everything!] As a result people could buy ten pounds of fine wheat or 20 pounds of barley for only one piece of silver, which was what Yahweh had said would happen!
Nanggawas ang mga tawo ug nangilog didto sa kampo sa Arameanhon. Busa ang usa ka takos nga harina gibaligya sa usa lamang ka shekel, ug ang duha ka takos nga sebada alang sa usa ka shekel, sama sa pulong nga gisulti ni Yahweh.
17 The king of Israel had appointed the officer who was his assistant to supervise what was happening at the marketplace. But as he was standing near the gate, all the people [who were rushing outside the city] trampled on him, and he died, which was what Elisha had said would happen to him when Elisha previously went to talk to the king.
Gimandoan sa hari ang kapitan nga iyang sinaligan nga maoy magdumala sa ganghaan, ug gitunob-tunoban siya sa mga tawo didto sa agianan sa ganghaan. Namatay siya sumala sa gisulti sa tawo sa Dios, nga misulti sa dihang mikanaog ang hari ngadto kaniya.
18 Elisha had told him that by the next day there would be plenty of food, with the result that anyone could buy ten pounds of fine wheat or 20 pounds of barley for only one piece of silver.
Busa nahitabo kini sumala sa gisulti sa tawo sa Dios ngadto sa hari, nga nag-ingon, “Niining mga taknaa didto sa ganghaan sa Samaria, ang duha ka takos sa sebada alang sa usa ka shekel, ug usa ka takos sa harina alang sa usa ka shekel.”
19 And the officer had answered, “That certainly cannot [RHQ] happen! Even if Yahweh himself would open the sky and send down some grain, that could not happen.” And Elisha had replied, “[Because you said that, ] you [SYN] will see it happen, but you will not be able to eat any of the food!”
Mitubag kadto nga kapitan sa tawo sa Dios ug miingon, “Tan-awa, bisan ug maghimog mga bintana si Yahweh sa langit, mahitabo ba kining butanga?” Miingon si Eliseo, “Tan-awa, makita nimo kini nga mahitabo gamit ang imong kaugalingong mga mata, apan dili ka makakaon bisan usa niini.”
20 And that is what happened to him. The people [who were rushing out of] the city gate trampled on him, and he died.
Ug mao gayod kadto ang nahitabo kaniya, kay gitunob-tunoban siya sa katawhan didto sa ganghaan, ug namatay siya.
