The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, "See now, the place where we dwell before you is too small for us.
2 Kut siyuk sum kut in som nu ke Infacl Jordan ac pakiya kutu sak ah kut in musaela sie pac lohm ah sesr.” Elisha el topuk, “Wona.”
Please let us go to the Jordan, and every man take a beam from there, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell." He answered, "Go."

One said, "Please be pleased to go with your servants." He answered, "I will go."

So he went with them. When they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.
5 Ke sie selos tufahna paki sak soko, na sifen tula soko ah putatla nu inkof ah. El fahk nu sel Elisha, “Leum luk, mea nga ac oru? Tula soko inge ma ngusrla!”
But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water. Then he cried, and said, "Alas, my master. For it was borrowed."
6 Elisha el siyuk, “Putatla ya?” Mukul sac srisrngiya nu sel acn sac, na Elisha el pakela polosak se ac sisla nu insac, na sifen tula soko ah pahtak.
The man of God asked, "Where did it fall?" He showed him the place. He cut down a stick, threw it in there, and made the iron float.
7 El sap, “Sruokya.” Na mukul sac saplakla srukak.
He said, "Take it." So he put out his hand and took it.
8 Tokosra lun Syria el mweun lain Israel. El pwapa yurin mwet leum lun mwet mweun lal, ac sulela sie acn elos in aktuktuk we.
Now the king of Aram was warring against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, "My camp will be in such and such a place."
9 Tuh Elisha el supwala kas nu sin tokosra lun Israel in sensenkunul elan tia som apkuran nu in acn sac, mweyen mwet mweun lun Syria elos wikwik soanelos we.
The man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, "Beware that you not pass such a place; for the Arameans are coming down there."
10 Ouinge tokosra lun Israel el fahkang ma inge nu sin mwet Israel su muta in acn sac, elos in ngusrikyak ac akola. Ouiya se inge sikyak pacl pus.
The king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he saved himself there, not once nor twice.
11 Tokosra Syria el arulana kasrkusrak ke lumah se inge. El pangoneni mwet leum lun un mwet mweun lal ac siyuk selos, “Su kac suwos wi layen lun tokosra Israel uh?”
The heart of the king of Aram was very troubled about this. He called his servants, and said to them, "Won't you show me which of us is for the king of Israel?"
12 Sie selos topuk, “Tia sie sesr. Mwet palu Elisha pa muta fahk nu sin tokosra lun Israel ma nukewa ma kom fahk uh, finne ma fwack in lukma infukil sum an.”
One of his servants said, "No, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom."
13 Na tokosra el sapkin, “Sokolak lah el oasr ya, nga in sruokilya.” Ke fwackyang nu sel lah Elisha el oasr in acn Dothan,
He said, "Go and see where he is, that I may send and get him." It was told him, saying, "Look, he is in Dothan."
14 tokosra el supwala un mwet mweun na lulap se nu we wi horse ac chariot. Elos sun acn we ke fong, ac kuhlusya acn sac.
Therefore he sent horses, chariots, and a great army there. They came by night, and surrounded the city.
15 Toang na ke lotu se tok ah, mwet kulansap se lal Elisha illa liki lohm ah, ac liye lah un mwet mweun lun Syria wi horse ac chariot natulos raunela siti uh. El folokla ac fahk nu sel Elisha, “Pakomuta, kut ac lalna! Mea kut ac oru?”
When the servant of the man of God had risen early, and gone out, look, an army with horses and chariots was around the city. His servant said to him, "Alas, my master. What shall we do?"
16 Elisha el topuk, “Nimet sangeng. Pus mwet wi kut lukelos.”
He answered, "Do not be afraid; for those who are with us are more than those who are with them."
17 Na el pre, “O LEUM GOD, ikasla mutal elan ku in liye!” LEUM GOD El topuk pre lal, ac mwet kulansap lal Elisha el ngetak ac liye lah pe eol uh sessesla ke horse ac chariot e, raunella Elisha.
Then Elisha prayed and said, "YHWH, please open his eyes, that he may see." YHWH opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and look, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha.
18 Ke mwet Syria elos oatui in lainulos, Elisha el pre, “O LEUM GOD, konela mutun mwet inge.” LEUM GOD El topuk pre lal, ac konela mutalos.
When they came down to him, Elisha prayed to YHWH, and said, "Please strike this people with blindness." He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
19 Na Elisha el som nu yorolos ac fahk, “Tafongla inkanek lowos an. Tia pa inge siti se kowos suk an. Fahsr tukuk ac nga fah pwen kowos nu yurin mwet se kowos suk an.” Ac el kololosla nu Samaria.
Elisha said to them, "This is not the way, neither is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek." He led them to Samaria.
20 Pacl se na ma elos utyak nu in siti ah, Elisha el pre ac fahk, “LEUM GOD, ikasla mutalos elos in liye.” LEUM GOD El lohng pre lal, ac ikasla mutalos ac elos liye tuh na elos oasr in acn Samaria.
It happened, when they had come into Samaria, that Elisha said, "YHWH, open the eyes of these men, that they may see." YHWH opened their eyes, and they saw; and look, they were in the midst of Samaria.
21 Ke pacl se tokosra lun Israel el liye mwet Syria inge, el siyuk sel Elisha, “Ku nga ac uniya mwet Syria inge? Nga ac onelosi?”
The king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, "My father, shall I strike them? Shall I strike them?"
22 El topuk, “Mo. Finne mwet mweun su kom sruokya ke mweun, kom ac tia uniya. Sang kutu ma elos in kang ac nim, ac lela elos in folokla nu yurin tokosra lalos.”
He answered, "You shall not strike them. Would you strike those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master."
23 Ouinge tokosra Israel el orala kufwa na yohk se nu selos, na tukun elos mongo ac nim tari, el supwalosla nu yurin tokosra Syria. Tukun pacl sac me, mwet Syria tia sifil orek lokoalok nu sin mwet Israel.
He prepared great feast for them. When they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. The bands of Aram stopped raiding the land of Israel.
24 In kutu pacl tok, Tokosra Benhadad lun Syria el us mwet mweun lal nukewa in lain Israel, ac kuhlusya siti Samaria.
It happened after this, that Benhadad king of Aram gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria.
25 Ke sripen kuhlusyuki se inge, arulana sufalla mwe mongo nu sin mwet in siti uh, oru sifen donkey soko kukala ke ipin silver oalngoul, ac tafun paun ke koanonsien wuleoa kukala ke ipin silver limekosr.
There was a great famine in Samaria. Look, they besieged it, until a donkey's head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.
26 Tokosra lun Israel el forfor fin pot in siti uh ke mutan se wola nu sel ac fahk, “O Tokosra, kasreyu!”
As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, saying, "Help, my lord, O king."
27 Ac tokosra el topuk, “LEUM GOD El fin tia kasrekom, kasru fuka nga ac ku in oru nu sum? Ku mea, oasr wheat ku wain yuruk?
He said, "If YHWH doesn't help you, from where could I help you? From of the threshing floor, or from the winepress?"
28 Mea elya lom an?” Mutan sac topuk, “In kutu len somla mutan se inge pwapa nu sik kut in kangla tulik se nutik, na len tok ah kut fah kangla tulik natul ah.
The king said to her, "What ails you?" She answered, "This woman said to me, 'Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.'
29 Na kut akmolyela wen se nutik ac kangla, na len tok ah nga fahk nu sel kut in kangla wen natul ah, a el okanulla!”
So we boiled my son, and ate him: and I said to her on the next day, 'Give your son, that we may eat him;' and she has hidden her son."
30 Ke tokosra el lohng ma inge, el arulana toasrla ac salik nuknuk lal, ac mwet ma muta fototo nu ke pot ah ku in liye lah el nukum nuknuk yohk eoa se ye nuknuk lal ah.
It happened, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he tore his clothes. Now he was passing by on the wall, and the people looked and saw that he had sackcloth against his skin.
31 Tokosra el liksreni fahk, “Lela LEUM GOD Elan uniyuwi ngan misa, fin tia tahtla kwawal Elisha meet liki fongeni!”
Then he said, "God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stay on him this day."
32 Ac el supwala mwet se in tuh usalu Elisha. In pacl sacna, Elisha el muta inkul sel wi mwet matu su tuku nu yorol. Meet liki mwet se ma tokosra el supu ah sun acn we, Elisha el fahk nu sin mwet matu inge, “Mwet akmas sac ac supwama mwet se in tuh uniyuwi. El fin sun acn inge, kowos kaliya srungul an, ac nimet lela elan utyak. Tokosra el ac sa na tuku tokol.”
But Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. Then the king sent a man from before him; but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, "Do you see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold the door shut against him. Isn't the sound of his master's feet behind him?"
33 El tufahna fahkla ma inge na tokosra el sun acn we, ac fahk, “LEUM GOD pa use mwe lokoalok inge nu facsr uh! Mea pac kut ac soanel nu kac an?”
While he was still talking with them, look, the messenger came down to him. Then he said, "Look, this disaster is from YHWH. Why should I wait for YHWH any longer?"
