2 Mpanjaka 7
1 Fa hoy kosa Elisa: Mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah ianareo: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Rahampitso toy izao dia ho sekely iray ny vidin’ ny koba tsara toto eran’ ny famarana, ary ho sekely iray koa ny vidin’ ny vary hordea indroan’ ny famarana ao am-bavahadin’ i Samaria.
Elisha said, "Hear the word of YHWH. Thus says YHWH, 'Tomorrow about this time a measure of fine flour will be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.'"
2 Fa namaly ny lehilahin’ Andriamanitra ilay mpanafika malaza izay nitehenan’ ny mpanjaka tamin’ ny tànany ka nanao hoe: Indro, na dia hanao varavarankely amin’ ny lanitra aza Jehovah, dia hisy izany zavatra izany va? Ary hoy Elisa: Indro, ho hitan’ ny masonao indrindra izany, nefa tsy mba hihinananao.
Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, "Look, if YHWH made windows in heaven, could this thing be?" He said, "Look, you shall see it with your eyes, but shall not eat of it."
3 Ary nisy boka efa-dahy teo anoloan’ ny vavahady nifampiresaka hoe: Ahoana no ipetrahantsika foana eto mandra-pahafatintsika?
Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate. And they said to one another, "Why do we sit here until we die?
4 Raha hoy isika: Hankato an-tanàna isika, dia misy mosary ao an-tanàna, ka ho faty ao isika; ary raha hipetraka eto isika, dia ho faty ihany koa. Koa andeha isika hankany amin-ny tobin’ ny Syriana; ka raha mamelona antsika moa izy, dia ho velona isika; fa raha mamono antsika kosa izy, dia ho faty ihany isika.
If we say, 'We will enter into the city,' then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there. If we sit still here, we also die. Now therefore come, and let us surrender to the army of the Arameans. If they save us alive, we will live; and if they kill us, we will only die."
5 Dia niainga izy rehefa takariva hankany amin’ ny tobin’ ny Syriana; ary nony tonga teny an-tsisin’ ny toby izy, indro, tsy nisy olona akory tao.
They rose up in the twilight, to go to the camp of the Arameans. When they had come to the outermost part of the camp of the Arameans, look, there was no man there.
6 Fa Jehovah efa nampandre ny miaramilan’ ny Syriana ny fikodiadian-kalesy sy ny fandehan’ ny soavaly, dia ny firodondrodon’ ny miaramila be; ary niresaka hoe izy: Injao, fa ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely efa nanamby ny mpanjakan’ ny Hetita sy ny mpanjakan’ ny Egyptiana hiady amintsika.
For YHWH had made the army of the Arameans to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great army: and they said one to another, Look, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come on us.
7 Dia niainga izy ka riatra nandositra tamin’ iny takariva iny ihany, ary nilaozany fotsiny ny tobiny, dia ny lainy sy ny soavaliny ary ny borikiny, ka lasa nandositra hamonjy ny ainy izy.
Therefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their donkeys, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
8 Ary rehefa tonga teny an-tsisin’ ny toby ireo boka ireo, dia niditra tao amin’ ny lay anankiray Izy ka nihinana sy nisotro, dia naka volafotsy sy volamena ary fitafiana, dia nandeha ka nanafina izany; ary nandeha indray izy ka niditra tao amin’ ny lay anankiray koa sady naka avy tao, dia nandeha ka nanafina izany koa.
When these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drink, and carried there silver, and gold, and clothing, and went and hid it. Then they came back, and entered into another tent, and carried there also, and went and hid it.
9 Dia nifampilaza hoe izy: Tsy mety izao ataontsika izao; ity andro ity dia andro filazana ny mahafaly, nefa mangìna isika; raha hitoetra eto mandra-pahamarain’ ny andro isika, dia hanan-keloka; fa andeha isika hilaza ao an-tranon’ ny mpanjaka.
Then they said one to another, "We aren't doing right. This day is a day of good news, and we keep silent. If we wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come, let us go and tell the king's household."
10 Dia avy izy ka niantso ny mpiambina ny vavahadin-tanàna ary nilaza taminy hoe: Tonga tany an-tobin’ ny Syriana izahay, ary indro fa tsy misy olona ao, na feon’ olona akory aza, fa soavaly mifatotra sy boriky mifatotra, ary ny lay nilaozana fotsiny.
So they came and called to the gatekeepers of the city; and they told them, saying, "We came to the camp of the Arameans, and, look, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but the horses tied, and the donkeys tied, and the tents as they were."
11 Ary niantso ny mpiambina ny vavahady izy, ary ireo kosa nilaza izany tao an-tranon’ ny mpanjaka.
The gatekeepers called out, and it was reported to the king's household within.
12 Ary ny mpanjaka nifoha raha mbola alina ka niteny tamin’ ny mpanompony hoe: Aoka hambarako aminareo ange izao ataon’ ny Syriana amintsika izao e! Fantany fa mosarena isika, ka dia niala tamin’ ny toby izy mba hanotrika any an-tsaha ka nanao hoe: Raha mivoaka avy any an-tanàna izy dia hataontsika sambo-belona, ary dia hidirantsika ny tanàna.
The king arose in the night, and said to his servants, "I will now show you what the Arameans have done to us. They know that we are hungry. Therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, 'When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and get into the city.'"
13 Ary ny mpanompony anankiray namaly hoe: Mifona aminao aho, aoka hangalana soavaly dimy amin’ izay sisa ato an-tanàna (indro toy ny hamaroan’ ny Isiraely rehetra izay mitoetra ato ireo; eny, tahaka ny hamaroan’ ny Isiraely rehetra izay efa lany ritra ireo) ka haniraka hizaha izany.
And one of his servants answered, "Please let some take five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city. Look, they are like the whole multitude of Israel who have already perished. Let us send and see."
14 Dia nalainy ny soavalin’ ny kalesy roa; ary ny mpanjaka naniraka hanaraka ny miaramilan’ ny Syriana ka nanao hoe: Mandehana, ka izahao.
They took therefore two chariots with horses; and the king sent after the army of the Arameans, saying, "Go and see."
15 Dia nandeha nanaraka azy hatrany Jordana ireo; ary, indreny, ny lalambe rehetra feno fitafiana sy fanaka izay efa narian’ ny Syriana, raha nandositra tamin’ ny fahatairana izy. Ary ny iraka niverina ka nilaza tamin’ ny mpanjaka.
They went after them to the Jordan; and look, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Arameans had cast away in their haste. The messengers returned, and told the king.
16 Dia nivoaka ny olona ka namabo ny tobin’ ny Syriana. Koa ny koba tsara toto eran’ ny famarana, dia sekely iray monja no vidiny, ary ny vary hordea indroan’ ny famarana, dia sekely iray ihany koa ny vidiny, araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah.
The people went out, and plundered the camp of the Arameans. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of YHWH.
17 Ary ilay mpanafika malaza izay nitehenan’ ny mpanjaka tamin’ ny tànany dia notendreny hiambina ny vavahady; ary voahitsaka teo am-bavahady izy, ka dia maty araka izay nolazain’ ny lehilahin’ Andriamanitra, dia ilay nolazainy, raha nidina tany aminy ny mpanjaka.
The king appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to be in charge of the gate: and the people trod on him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.
18 Koa dia tanteraka ilay teny nolazain’ ny lehilahin’ Andriamanitra tamin’ ny mpanjaka hoe: Raha, maraina toy izao ao am-bavahadin’ i Samaria dia sekely iray monja no ho vidin’ ny vary hordea indroan’ ny famarana, ary ho sekely iray ihany koa ny vidin’ ny koba tsara toto eran’ ny famarana;
It happened, as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, "Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria";
19 ka izany mpanafika malaza izany no namaly ilay lehilahin’ Andriamanitra hoe: Indro, na dia hanao varavarankely amin’ ny lanitra aza Jehovah, dia hisy izany zavatra izany va? Fa hoy Elisa: Indro, ho hitan’ ny masonao indrindra izany, fa tsy mba hihinananao.
and that captain answered the man of God, and said, "Now, look, if YHWH should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be?" and he said, "Look, you shall see it with your eyes, but shall not eat of it."
20 Ary dia toy izany no nanjo azy, fa ny olona nanitsaka azy teo am-bavahady, ka dia maty izy.
It happened like that to him; for the people trod on him in the gate, and he died.
