2 Mga Hari 4

1 Ngayon, nagpuntang umiiyak ang isa sa mga asawa ng mga anak ng mga propeta kay Eliseo, sinabing, “Ang iyong lingkod na aking asawa ay patay na, at alam mo na may takot ang iyong lingkod kay Yahweh. Ngayon pumunta ang nagpapautang para kunin ang aking dalawang anak para maging mga alipin niya.”

The wife of one of the sons of the prophets appealed to Elisha, “My husband, your servant, is dead, and you know that he honored the Lord. But now to pay his debts his creditor is coming to take my two sons as his slaves!”

2 Kaya sinabi ni Eliseo sa kaniya, “Ano ang magagawa ko para sa iyo?” Sinabi niya, “Ang iyong lingkod ay walang kahit ano sa bahay, maliban sa palayok ng langis.”

“What can I do to help you?” asked Elisha. “Tell me, what do you have in your house?” “I, your servant, don't have anything in my house except a jar of olive oil,” she replied.

3 Pagkatapos, sinabi ni Eliseo, “Umalis ka para manghiram ng mga tapayan na walang laman sa iyong mga kapit-bahay. Manghiram ka ng marami hangga't maaari.

“Go and borrow empty jars from your neighbors—as many as possible, not just a few,” Elisha told her.

4 Pagkatapos kailangan mo pumunta sa loob ng bahay mo at isara ang pinto sa likod mo at ng iyong mga anak, at ibuhos ang langis sa mga tapayan na iyon; itabi mo ang mga tapayan na napuno.”

“Then go inside, shut the door behind you and your sons, and start pouring olive oil into all these jars, placing the full jars to one side.”

5 Kaya iniwan niya si Eliseo at sinara ang pinto sa likod niya at kaniyang mga anak. Nagdala sila ng mga tapayan para sa kaniya, at pinuno ang mga ito ng langis.

She left Elisha, went home, and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept on pouring.

6 Nang napuno na ang mga lagayan, sabi niya sa kaniyang mga anak, “Magdala pa kayo ng isa pang tapayan.” Pero ang sabi ng anak niya sa kaniya, “Wala ng mga tapayan.” Pagkatapos, huminto na sa pagdaloy ng langis.

When all the jars were full, she told her son, “Bring me another one.” But he replied, “There aren't any jars left.” Then the olive oil stopped flowing.

7 Pagkatapos, bumalik siya at sinabi sa lingkod ng Diyos. Sabi niya, “Pumunta ka roon, ibenta mo ang langis; bayaran mo ang iyong utang, at mamuhay kasama ng iyong mga anak sa mga natira.”

She went and told the man of God what had happened, and he said, “Go and sell the olive oil and pay your debts, and you and your sons can live on what's left.”

8 Isang araw, naglakad si Eliseo sa Sunem kung saan nakatira ang isang mahalagang babae; pinilit niyang kumain sila ng magkasama. Kaya sa madalas na pagdaan ni Eliseo, siya ay humihinto para kumain doon.

One day as Elisha was passing through Shunem, a wealthy woman who lived there convinced him to have a meal. After that, whenever he was passing by he would stop there to eat.

9 Sinabi ng babae sa kaniyang asawa, “Tingnan mo, nalaman ko na ang lalaking ito na laging dumadaan dito ay lingkod ng Diyos.

She told her husband, “I'm sure that this man who regularly visits us is a holy man of God.

10 Gumawa tayo ng maliit na silid sa bubungan para kay Eliseo, at maglagay tayo ng higaan, upuan, at lampara. Pagkatapos, kapag pumunta siya sa atin, mananatili na siya roon.”

Please let's make a small room on the roof, We can put a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp in it for him. Then he can stay there whenever he visits us.”

11 Kaya nang dumating ang araw na bumalik si Eliseo para huminto roon, nanatili siya sa silid at nagpahinga roon.

One day Elisha arrived and went up to his room and lay down.

12 Sinabi ni Eliseo sa kaniyang lingkod na si Gehazi, “Tawagin mo ang Sunamita.” Nang tinawag niya ito, tumayo ang babae sa harap niya.

He said to his servant Gehazi, “Ask the Shunammite woman to come here.” Gehazi called her and she came to see Elisha.

13 Sinabi ni Eliseo sa lingkod, “Sabihin mo sa babae na, 'Ginawa mo ang lahat ng abalang ito para alagaan kami. Ano ang maaari kong gawin para sa iyo? Gusto mo bang kausapin namin ang hari para sa iyo o sa pinuno ng hukbo?'” Sumagot siya, 'Namuhay ako kasama ang aking sariling bayan.”

Elisha said to Gehazi, “Please tell her, ‘You have gone to a lot of trouble on our behalf. Now what can we do for you? Do you want us to speak for you to the king or the army commander?’” “I live with my own people,” she replied.

14 Kaya sinabi ni Eliseo, “Ano pala ang maaari nating gawin para sa kaniya?” Sumagot si Gehazi, “Tunay nga, wala siyang anak, at matanda na ang kaniyang asawa.”

After she had left, Elisha asked, “What can we do for her?” “She doesn't have a son, and her husband is old,” Gehazi replied.

15 Kaya sumagot si Eliseo, “Tawagin mo siya.” Nang siya ay tinawag niya, tumayo siya sa pintuan.

Elisha said, “Ask her to come back.” So Gehazi called her, and she came stood by the door.

16 Sinabi ni Eliseo, “Sa parehong oras ng taong ito, pagkatapos ng isang taon, makakahawak ka ng isang anak.” Sinabi niya, “Hindi, aking panginoon at lingkod ng Diyos, huwag kang magsinungaling sa iyong alipin.”

Elisha told her, “Around this time next year, you will be holding a son in your arms.” “No, my lord!” she responded. “Man of God, don't tell your servant lies!”

17 Pero nagdalang-tao ang babae at nanganak ng isang lalaki sa parehong panahon ng sumunod na taon, tulad ng sinabi ni Eliseo sa kaniya.

But the woman did indeed become pregnant, and the next year around that same time she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had promised her.

18 Nang lumaki na ang bata, pumunta siya sa kaniyang ama, na kasama ng mga taga-ani.

The child grew up, but one day he when went out to see his father who was with the reapers,

19 Sinabi niya sa kaniyang ama, “Ang ulo ko, ang ulo ko.” Sabi ng kaniyang ama sa kaniyang alipin, “Buhatin mo siya sa kaniyang ina.”

he complained to his father, “My head hurts! My head hurts!” His father told one of his servants, “Carry him back to his mother.”

20 Nang binuhat siya at dinala ang bata sa kaniyang ina, umupo ang bata sa tuhod ng kaniyang ina hanggang tanghali at pagkatapos ay namatay.

The servant picked him up and took him back to his mother. The boy sat on her lap until noon, and then he died.

21 Kaya tumayo ang babae at hiniga ang bata sa higaan ng lingkod ng Diyos, sinara ang pinto, at umalis.

She went upstairs and laid him on the bed of the man of God. Then she shut the door behind her and left.

22 Tinawag niya ang kaniyang asawa, at sinabi, “Pakiusap magpadala ka sa akin ng isa sa mga alipin at isa sa mga asno para ako ay makapagmadali sa lingkod ng Diyos at makabalik agad.”

She called her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants and a donkey so I can run to the man of God and come back.”

23 Sinabi ng asawa niya, “Bakit gusto mong pumunta sa kaniya ngayong araw na ito? Hindi naman Kapistahan ng Bagong Buwan o Araw ng Pamamahinga.” Sumagot siya. “Magiging maayos din ang lahat.”

“Why do you need to go and see him today?” he asked. “It's not the New Moon or the Sabbath.” “Don't worry about it,” she replied.

24 Pagkatapos, sinakyan niya ang asno at sinabi sa kaniyang alipin, “Bilisan mo ang pagmamaneho; huwag kang babagal hangga't hindi ko sinasabi.”

She put the saddle on the donkey and told her servant, “Let's go quickly! Don't slow down for me unless I tell you to!”

25 Kaya pumunta siya sa lingkod ng Diyos sa Bundok Carmel. Nang nakita siya ng lingkod ng Diyos sa malayo, sinabi niya kay Gehazi kaniyang alipin, “Tingnan mo, paparating na ang Sunamita.

So she set off, and went to the man of God who was at Mount Carmel. When he saw her way in the distance, the man of God told his servant Gehazi, “Look! There's the Shunammite woman!

26 Pakiusap, tumakbo ka para salubungin siya at sabihin mo sa kaniya, 'Maayos ba ang lahat sa iyo at iyong asawa at anak'” Sumagot siya, “Maayos naman.”

Please run to meet her and ask her, ‘Is everything fine with you, your husband, and your boy?’” “Everything's fine,” she replied.

27 Nang pumunta siya sa lingkod ng Diyos sa bundok, hinawakan niya ang paa ng lingkod ng Diyos. Lumapit si Gehazi para ilayo siya pero sinabi ng lingkod ng Diyos, “Pabayaan mo siya, dahil siya ay malungkot, at tinago ni Yahweh ang problema sa akin, at walang siyang sinabi sa akin.”

But when she got to the man of God at the mountain, she grabbed hold of his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for she's in terrible misery, but the Lord has hidden it from me and has not explained it to me.”

28 Pagkatapos kaniyang sinabi, “Humingi ba ako sa iyo ng anak, aking panginoon? Hindi ba sinabi ko sa iyo na, 'Huwag mo akong linlangin'?”

“Did I ask you for a son, my lord?” she asked. “Didn't I tell you, ‘Don't tell me lies’?”

29 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Eliseo kay Gehazi, “Magdamit ka para sa paglalakbay at kunin mo ang aking tungkod. Pumunta ka sa bahay niya. Kung may makakasalubong ka, huwag mo siyang batiin, at kung may babati sa iyo, huwag mo siyang sagutin. Ilagay mo ang tungkod ko sa mukha ng bata.”

Elisha said to Gehazi, “Put your cloak in your belt, pick up my staff, and go! Don't even say hello to anyone you meet, and if anyone says hello you, don't reply. Place my staff on the boy's face.”

30 Pero sinabi ng ina ng bata, “Hanggang nabubuhay si Yahweh, at hanggang nabubuhay ka, hindi kita iiwan.” Kaya tumayo si Eliseo at sinundan siya.

But the boy's mother said, “As the Lord lives and as you live, I'm not leaving without you!” So he got up and went with her.

31 Nagmadaling nauna sa kanila si Gehazi at nilagay ang tungkod sa mukha ng bata, pero hindi ito nagsalita o nakarinig. Kaya bumalik si Gehazi para salubungin si Eliseo at sinabi sa kaniya, “Hindi nagising ang bata.”

Gehazi ran on ahead and placed the staff on the boy's face, but there was no sound or sign of life. So Gehazi went back to meet Elisha and told him, “The boy hasn't woken up.”

32 Nang dumating si Eliseo sa bahay, patay na ang bata at nasa higaan pa rin.

When Elisha got to the house, there was the boy, lying dead on his bed.

33 Kaya pumasok si Eliseo at sinara ang pinto at nanalangin kay Yahweh. Umakyat siya at dinapaan ang bata;

He went in, shut the door behind them both, and prayed to the Lord.

34 nilagay ang bibig niya sa bibig ng bata, kaniyang mata sa mata ng bata, at kaniyang kamay sa kamay ng bata. Inunat niya ang kaniyang sarili sa bata, at nag-init ang katawan ng bata.

Then he got on the bed and lay on top of the boy, and put his mouth on the boy's mouth, his eyes on the boy's eyes, his hands on the boy's hands. As he stretched out on him, the boy's body warmed up.

35 Pagkatapos tumayo si Eliseo at naglakad sa silid at umakyat muli at inunat ang kaniyang sarili sa bata. Bumahing ang bata ng pitong beses at binuksan ang kaniyang mga mata!

Elisha got up, walked back and forth once in the room, and then got back on the bed and stretched out on him again. The boy sneezed seven times and then opened his eyes.

36 Kaya tinawag ni Eliseo si Gehazi, “Tawagin mo ang Sunamita!” Kaya tinawag niya ito, at nang pumunta siya sa silid, sabi ni Eliseo, “Kunin mo ang iyong anak.”

Elisha called Gehazi and said, “Ask the Shunammite woman to come.” So he did. When she arrived, Elisha said to her, “Here's your son. You can pick him up.”

37 Pagkatapos nagpatirapa siya sa lupa at yumuko sa lupa, at pagkatapos kinuha ang kaniyang anak at umalis.

She came in, fell at his feet, and bowed to the ground. Then she picked up her son and left.

38 Pagkatapos pumunta muli si Eliseo sa Gilgal. Mayroong taggutom doon sa lupain, at umupo sa kaniyang tabi ang mga anak ng mga propeta. Sinabi niya sa mga alipin, “Ilagay ninyo ang malaking palayok sa apoy at magluto ng nilaga para sa mga anak ng mga propeta.”

When Elisha went back to Gilgal, there was a famine in that area. The sons of the prophets were sitting at his feet, and he said to his servant, “Use the large pot and boil some stew for the sons of the prophets.”

39 Ang isa sa kanila ay pumunta sa sakahan para maglikom ng mga gulay. Nakahanap siya ng ligaw na punong ubas at nakalikom ng sapat na ligaw na mga gulay para punuin ang tupi ng kaniyang balabal. Hiniwa nila ang mga ito at nilagay sa nilaga, pero hindi nila alam kung anong uri ang mga iyon.

One of them went out into the countryside to pick herbs. He found a wild vine and picked as many wild gourds as his cloak could hold. Then he came back and chopped them up into the pot of stew. But nobody knew they were dangerous to eat.

40 Kaya binuhos nila ang nilaga para kainin ng mga tao. Kinalaunan, habang kumakain sila, sumigaw sila at sinabi, “Lingkod ng Diyos, may kamatayan sa palayok!” At hindi na sila makakain.

They served it to the men to eat, but when they tasted the stew they shouted, “There's death in the pot, man of God!” They couldn't eat it.

41 Pero sinabi ni Eliseo, “Magdala ng ilang harina.” Hinagis niya ito sa palayok at sinabi, “Ibuhos ninyo ito para sa mga tao, para makakain sila.” At wala ng anumang bagay ang nakakasakit sa loob ng palayok.

Elisha said, “Get some flour.” He threw it into the pot, and said, “Serve it to the people to eat.” There was nothing bad to eat in the pot.

42 Isang lalaking taga-Baal-salisa ang lumapit sa lingkod ng Diyos at nagdala ng labingdalawang trigong tinapay sa kaniyang sako mula sa bagong ani, at sariwang aning butil. Sinabi niya, “Ibigay mo ito sa mga tao para makakain sila.”

A man from Baal-shalishah came to the man of God with a sack of firstfruits—the first grain of the year, along with twenty loaves of barley bread. “Give it to the people to eat,” said Elisha.

43 Sinabi ng kaniyang alipin, “Ano, dapat ko ba itong ihain sa harapan ng isang-daang lalaki?” Pero sinabi ni Eliseo, “Ibigay mo ito sa mga tao, para makakain sila, dahil sinabi ito ni Yahweh, 'Kakain sila at magkakaroon pa ng tira.'”

“How can I serve just twenty loaves to a hundred men?” his servant asked. “Give it to the people to eat,” said Elisha, “for this is what the Lord says: ‘They will eat and there will still be some left over.’”

44 Kaya hinain ito ng kaniyang alipin sa kanilang harapan; kumain sila, at may mga natira pa, gaya ng pinangakong salita ni Yahweh.

So he served the bread to them. They ate, and had some left over, just as the Lord had said.
