Luo Tokosra 7
1 Elisha el topuk, “Lohng ma LEUM GOD El fahk uh! Pacl se inge lutu, in acn Samaria kom ac ku in moli paun singoul ke wheat wowo ku paun longoul ke barley ke ipin silver sefanna.”
And Eliseus said: Hear ye the word of the Lord: Thus saith the Lord: Tomorrow about this time a bushel of fine hour shall be sold for a stater, and two bushels of barley for a stater, in the gate of Samaria.
2 Mwet tutafpo fulat lun tokosra el fahk nu sel Elisha, “Ma ingan tia ku in sikyak, LEUM GOD El finne sifacna supwama wheat ingena!” Elisha el fahk, “Kom ac fah liye ke ma ingan ac sikyak, tusruktu kom ac tia ku in wi mongo kac.”
Then one of the lords, upon whose hand the king leaned, answering the man of God, said: If the Lord should make flood-gates in heaven, can that possibly be which thou sayest? And he said: Thou shalt see it with thy eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
3 Mwet akosr su musen lepa, ac muta likin mutunpot nu Samaria, elos fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Mwe mea kut in mutana inse inge soan misa?
Now there were four lepers, at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another: What mean we to stay here till we die?
4 Wangin sripa kut in som nu in siti uh, mweyen kut ac tuh masrinsral ac misa we. Ac kut fin mutana inge kut ac misa pacna. Tari kut som nu yen mwet mweun Syria elos aktuktuk we. Sahp elos ac pakomutasr na kut ac moul, tuh elos fin tia, na kut ac nuna misa na.”
If we will enter into the city, we shall die with the famine: and if we will remain here, we must also die: come, therefore, and let us run over to the camp of the Syrians. If they spare us, we shall live: but if they kill us, we shall but die.
5 Ouinge ke mutawauk in lohsrani, elos som nu nien aktuktuk lun mwet Syria ah, tusruktu ke elos sun acn we tia mwet se we.
So they arose in the evening, to go to the Syrian camp, And when they were come to the first part of the camp of the Syrians, they found no man there.
6 LEUM GOD El tuh oru mwet Syria elos lohng pusra se ma oana pusren un mwet mweun puspis wi horse ac chariot, na mwet Syria elos nunku mu tokosra Israel el moli su sin mwet mweun lun tokosra Hit ac tokosra Egypt in mweunelos.
For the Lord had made them hear, in the camp of Syria, the noise of chariots, and of horses, and of a very great army, and they said one to another: Behold the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hethites, and of the Egyptians, and they are come upon us.
7 Na ke ekela, mwet Syria elos tuh kaingla in suk moul lalos, ac sisla lohm nuknuk selos oayapa horse ac donkey natulos, ac som liki nien aktuktuk lalos, ac ma nukewa oanna yen oan we.
Wherefore they arose, and fled away in the dark, and left their tents, and their horses and asses in the camp, and fled, desiring to save their lives.
8 Ke mwet akosr ah sun sisken nien aktuktuk sac elos utyak nu in sie lohm nuknuk, kangla ac numla ma oan we, ac srukak silver, gold ac nuknuk ma elos konauk we, ac usla okanla. Na elos sifilpa folokyak nu in sie pac lohm nuknuk, ac oru oapana ma elos oru meet ah.
So when these lepers were come to the beginning of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drank: and they took from thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went, and hid it: and they came again, and went into another tent, and carried from thence in like manner, and hid it.
9 Na elos asmakla ac fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Tia wo kut in oru ouinge! Oasr pweng wo sesr, ac tia wo kut in okanla. Kut fin soano in lenelik na kut fah fahkak, kalem lah ac kalyeiyuk kut. Kut som ingena ac fahkak nu sin mwet fulat lun tokosra!”
Then they said one to another: We do not well: for this is a day of good tidings. If we hold our peace, and do not tell it till the morning, we shall be charged with a crime: come, let us go and tell it in the king’s court.
10 Ouinge elos som liki nien aktuktuk lun mwet Syria, folokla nu Samaria ac pangyak nu sin mwet topang ke mutunpot, ac fahk, “Kut som nu ke nien aktuktuk lun mwet Syria tuh na wangin mwet kut liye we ac wangin pac pusren mwet kut lohng. Horse ac donkey ah tia pac tuleyukla, ac lohm nuknuk ah oanna oana ke mwet Syria som liki ah.”
So they came to the gate of the city, and told them, saying: We went to the camp of the Syrians, and we found no man there, but horses, and asses tied, and the tents standing.
11 Mwet topang uh fahkak pweng sac, na srumunyukelik inkul sin tokosra.
Then the guards of the gate went, and told it within the king’s palace.
12 Srakna fong, a tokosra el tukakek liki motul lal ac fahk nu sin mwet pwapa lal, “Ngan fahk nu suwos lah mea se mwet Syria elos ako in oru inge. Elos etu ke sracl se yenu inge, pa elos som liki acn elos mutangan aktuktuk we ac wikla insak uten acn uh. Elos nunku mu kut ac som liki siti uh in sukok mwe mongo, na elos ac sapmoulikuti ac eisla siti uh.”
And he arose in the night and said to his servants: I tell you what the Syrians have done to us: They know that we suffer great famine, and therefore they are gone out of the camp, and lie hid in the fields, saying: When they come out of the city we shall take them alive, and then we may get into the city.
13 Sie sin mwet pwapa lal ah fahk, “Mwet in siti se inge ac nuna misa pacna, oana mwet ma misa tari. Ke ma inge kut supwala kutu mwet uh wi horse limekosr sin horse ma lula uh kut in mau ku in konauk lah mea sikyak.”
And one of his servants answered: Let us take the five horses that are remaining in the city (because there are no more in the whole multitude of Israel, for the rest are consumed, ) and let us send and see.
14 Elos sulela mwet ekasr, ac tokosra el supwala mwet inge fin chariot lukwa, ac sang kas nu selos mu elos in som suk lah mea sikyak nu sin mwet mweun Syria ah.
They brought therefore two horses, and the king sent into the camp of the Syrians, saying: Go, and see.
15 Mwet inge som na nwe sun Infacl Jordan, ac elos liye na nuknuk ac kufwen orekma ma mwet Syria elos sisla inkanek ah ke elos kaing. Na elos folokla ac fahkak ma inge nu sin tokosra.
And they went after them as far as the Jordan: and behold all the way was full of garments, and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their fright, and the messengers returned and told the king.
16 Mwet Samaria elos yuyak ac orani ma wap ke nien aktuktuk lun mwet Syria. Na oana ke LEUM GOD El tuh fahk, paun in wheat wowo singoul ku paun in barley longoul kukakinyukla ke ipin silver sefanna.
And the people going out pillaged the camp of the Syrians: and a bushel of fine flour was sold for a stater, and two bushels of barley for a stater, according to the word of the Lord.
17 Sikyak tuh na tokosra lun Israel el sang taranyen mutunpot lun siti uh nu ye kolyuk lun mwet tutafpo fulat se lal ah. Na mwet sac tuh lolongyuki sin mwet uh, ac el misa ke mutunpot ah, oana ke Elisha el palye ac fahk ke pacl se tokosra el tuh som nu yorol.
And the king appointed that lord on whose hand he leaned, to stand at the gate: and the people trod upon him in the entrance of the gate; and he died, as the man of God had said, when the king came down to him.
18 Elisha el tuh fahk nu sin tokosra lah in pacl sacna ke len se tok ah, paun singoul ke wheat wowo ku paun longoul ke barley ac fah kukala ke ipin silver sefanna in Samaria,
And it came to pass according to the word of the man of God, which he spoke to the king, when he said: Two bushels of barley shall be for a stater, and a bushel of fine flour for a stater, at this very time tomorrow in the gate of Samaria.
19 na ke Elisha el tuh fahk ouinge, leum sac tuh fahk, “Ma ingan tia ku in sikyak, LEUM GOD El finne sifacna supwama wheat ingena!” Ac Elisha el tuh topuk mu, “Kom ac fah liye ke ma ingan ac sikyak, tusruktu kom ac tia ku in wi mongo kac.”
When that lord answered the man of God, and said: Although the Lord should make flood-gates in heaven, could this come to pass which thou sayest? And he said to him: Thou shalt see with thy eyes, and shalt not eat thereof.
20 Na pa ingan ma sikyak nu sel — lolongyuki el nwe ke el misa ke mutunpot nu in siti ah.
And so it fell out to him as it was foretold, and the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died.
