2 Ahemfo 4
1 Ɛda bi, Elisa mfɛfoɔ adiyifoɔ no mu baako kunafoɔ baa ne nkyɛn, bɛsu kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Me kunu a na ɔsom wo no awu. Na wonim sɛdeɛ na ɔsuro Awurade. Nanso, seesei obi a mede no ka aba, rehunahuna sɛ, ɔbɛfa me mmammarima baanu sɛ nkoa.”
Forsothe sum womman of the wyues of prophetys criede to Elisee, and seide, Thi seruaunt, myn hosebonde, is deed, and thou knowist that thi seruaunt dredde God; and lo! the creaunser, `that is, he to whom the dette is owid, cometh to take my two sones to serue hym.
2 Elisa bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na mɛtumi ayɛ de aboa wo? Kyerɛ me nneɛma a wowɔ wɔ efie.” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Menni hwee sɛ ngo ahina baako.”
To whom Elisee seide, What wolt thou that Y do to thee? seie thou to me, what hast thou in thin hows? And she answeride, Y thin handmayde haue not ony thing in myn hows, no but a litil of oile, bi which Y schal be anoyntid.
3 Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ “Kɔfɛm nhina dodoɔ biara a wobɛnya firi wo nnamfonom ne wo mfɛfoɔ nkyɛn.
To whom he seide, Go thou, and axe bi borewyng of alle thi neiyboris voide vessels not fewe.
4 Afei, fa wo mmammarima no kɔ wo fie, na to ɛpono mu. Hwie ngo no firi wʼahina no mu, gugu nhina no mu. Deɛ ɛbɛyɛ ma biara, yi si nkyɛn.”
And entre, and close thi dore, whanne thou art with ynne, thou and thi sones; and putte ye therof in to alle these vessels; and whanne tho schulen be ful, thou schalt take awei.
5 Enti, ɔyɛɛ saa. Ne mmammarima no de nhina bebree brɛɛ no, ma ɔhyehyɛɛ no ma ma.
Therfor the womman yede, and closide the dore on hir silf and on hir sones, thei brouyten vessels, and sche `heldide in.
6 Ankyɛre na emu biara yɛɛ ma tɛnn. Ɔka kyerɛɛ ne mmammarima no mu baako sɛ, “Brɛ me ahina foforɔ.” Ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ebi nni hɔ bio.” Na afei ngo no a ɔrehwie no saeɛ.
And whanne the vessels weren fulle, sche seide to hir sone, Brynge thou yit a vessel to me. And he answeride, Y haue not. And the oyle stood.
7 Ɛberɛ a ɔkaa asɛm a asi no kyerɛɛ Onyankopɔn onipa no, ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Afei, tɔn ngo no, na fa tua wʼaka, na sika no bi bɛka ama wode ahwɛ wo ho ne wo mmammarima no.”
Forsothe sche cam, and schewide to the man of God; and he seide, Go thou, sil thou the oile, and yelde to thi creauncer; forsothe thou and thi children lyue of the residue.
8 Ɛda koro bi, Elisa kɔɔ Sunem kurom. Na ɔbaa ɔdefoɔ bi te kuro no mu. Ɔtoo nsa frɛɛ Elisa sɛ ɔmmɛdidi. Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, ɛberɛ biara a ɔbɛtwam hɔ no, ɔfa hɔ kɔdidi.
Forsothe sum day was maad, and Elisee passide bi a citee, Sunam; sotheli a greet womman was there, which helde hym, that he schulde ete breed. And whanne he passide ofte therbi, `he turnede to hir, that he schulde ete breed.
9 Ɔka kyerɛɛ ne kunu sɛ, “Megye di sɛ saa ɔbarima yi a ɔtaa ba ha yi yɛ Onyankopɔn onipa kronkron.
`Which womman seide to hir hosebonde, Y perseyue that this is an hooli man of God, that passith ofte bi vs;
10 Ma yɛnsiesie ɛdan bi mma no wɔ ɛsoro hɔ na yɛmfa mpa, ɛpono, akonnwa ne kanea nsi mu mma no. Na ɛberɛ biara a ɔbɛba ha no, wanya baabi asoeɛ.”
therfor make we a litil soler to hym, and putte we therynne a litil bed to hym, and a boord, and a chaier, and a candilstike; that whanne he cometh to vs, he dwelle there.
11 Ɛda bi, Elisa sane baa Sunem. Ɔkɔɔ ne soro dan no mu kɔsoɛe.
Therfor sum dai was maad, and he cam, and turnede in to the soler, and restide there.
12 Ɔka kyerɛɛ ne ɔsomfoɔ Gehasi sɛ, “Ka kyerɛ ɔbaa no sɛ, mepɛ sɛ meka asɛm bi kyerɛ no.” Ɔbaa no baeɛ no,
And he seide to Giezi, his child, Clepe thou this Sunamyte. And whanne he hadde clepid hir, and sche hadde stonde
13 Elisa ka kyerɛɛ Gehasi sɛ, “Ka kyerɛ no sɛ, yɛn ani asɔ ne som pa a wasom yɛn no. Na bisa no deɛ yɛn so yɛbɛtumi ayɛ ama no. Ɔpɛ sɛ medi ne ho adanseɛ kyerɛ ɔhene anaa asraafoɔ sahene no?” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Dabi, ɛfiri sɛ, mʼabusuafoɔ hwɛ me yie.”
bifor hym, he seide to his child, Speke thou to hir, Lo! thou hast mynystride to vs bisili in alle thingis; what wolt thou that Y do to thee? Whether thou hast a cause, and wolt that Y speke to the kyng, ether to the prince of the chyualrye? And sche answeride, I dwelle in the myddis of my puple.
14 Akyire yi, Elisa bisaa Gehasi sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na wogye di sɛ yɛbɛtumi ayɛ ama no?” Ɔto maa no sɛ, “Ɔnni babarima na ne kunu nso abɔ akɔkoraa.”
And he seide, What therfor wole sche that Y do to hir? Giezi seide to hym, Axe thou not, for she hath no sone, and hir hosebonde is eeld.
15 Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Frɛ no bra bio.” Ɔbaa no baeɛ no, Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no wɔ ɛpono no ano sɛ,
Therfor Elisee comaundide, that he schulde clepe hir. And whanne sche was clepid, and stood bifor the dore,
16 “Afe sɛsɛɛ saa ɛberɛ yi ara mu, na ɔbabarima da wo srɛ so.” Ɔteaa mu sɛ, “Dabi, me wura, mesrɛ wo, ntwa me nkontompo saa. Ao, Onyankopɔn onipa.”
he seide to hir, In this tyme and in this same our, if lijf schal be felow, thou schalt haue a sone in the wombe. And sche answeride, Nyle thou, my lord, the man of God, Y biseche, nyle thou lye to thin hondmaide.
17 Na ampa ara, ɛberɛ tiawa bi akyi, ɔbaa no nyinsɛneeɛ. Na afe saa ɛberɛ no ara, ɔwoo ɔbabarima sɛdeɛ Elisa kaeɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
And the womman conseyuede, and childide a sone in the tyme, and in the same our, in which Elisee hadde seid.
18 Ne ba no nyiniiɛ no, da bi, ɔkɔsraa nʼagya a na ɔne nʼapaafoɔ reyɛ adwuma.
Sotheli the child encreeside; and whanne sum day was, and the child was goon out, and yede to his fadir,
19 Prɛko pɛ, ɔkaa sɛ, “Me ti pae me! Me ti pae me!” Nʼagya ka kyerɛɛ nʼapaafoɔ no mu baako sɛ, “Fa no kɔ efie kɔma ne maame.”
and to the repers, he seide to his fadir, Myn heed akith, myn heed akith. And he seide to a child, Take, and lede hym to his modir.
20 Ɔpaani no de no kɔɔ efie. Ne maame gyee no too ne srɛ so. Nanso, ɛduruu owigyinaeɛ mu no, ɔwuiɛ.
And whanne he hadde take, and hadde brouyt hym to his modir, sche settide hym on hir knees `til to myddai, and he was deed.
21 Ɔpagyaa no de no kɔtoo Onyankopɔn onipa no mpa so. Ɔtoo ɛpono no mu gyaa no hɔ kɔeɛ.
Sotheli she stiede, and leide hym on the litil bed of the man of God, and closide the dore.
22 Ɔsomaa ɔbɔfoɔ kɔbɔɔ ne kunu amaneɛ sɛ, “Soma apaafoɔ no baako na ɔmfa afunumu mmra, sɛdeɛ mɛtumi akɔduru Onyankopɔn onipa no hɔ ntɛm, asane aba.”
And sche yede out, and clepide hir hosebonde, and seide, Y biseche, sende thou with me oon of the children, and an asse, and Y schal renne out `til to the man of God, and Y schal turne ayen.
23 Ɔbisaa sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wopɛ sɛ wokɔ ɛnnɛ yi ara? Ɛnyɛ Ɔbosome Foforɔ Afahyɛ, na ɛnyɛ homeda nso.” Nanso, ɔkaa sɛ, “Ɛwom saa.”
And he seide to hir, For what cause goist thou to hym? to dai ben not calendis, nether sabat. And she answeride, Y schal go.
24 Enti, ɔhyehyɛɛ afunumu no, ka kyerɛɛ ɔpaani no sɛ, “Ka wo ho. Ɛnyɛ me enti na wobɛto wo bo ase, na mmom, kɔ ara, gye sɛ maka sɛ to wo bo ase.”
And sche sadlide the asse, and comaundide to the child, Dryue thou, and haaste; make thou not tariyng to me in goyng, and do thou this thing which Y comaunde to thee.
25 Ɔrebɛduru Onyankopɔn onipa no nkyɛn wɔ bepɔ Karmel so no, Elisa hunuu no wɔ akyirikyiri. Ɔka kyerɛɛ Gehasi sɛ, “Hwɛ, ɔbaa a ɔfiri Sunam no reba.
Therfor sche yede forth, and cam to the man of God, in to the hil of Carmele. And whanne the man of God hadde seyn hir euene ayen, he seide to Giezi, his child, Lo! thilke Sunamyte; go thou therfor in to the metyng of hir,
26 Tu mmirika kɔhyia no, na bisa no sɛ, ‘Wo ne wo kunu ne wo ba ho yɛ anaa?’” Ɔbaa no buaa Gehasi sɛ, “Yɛn nyinaa ho yɛ.”
and seie thou to hir, Whether it is doon riytfuli aboute thee, and aboute thin hosebonde, and aboute thi sone? And sche answeride, Riytfuli.
27 Nanso, ɔbaa Onyankopɔn onipa no nkyɛn wɔ bepɔ no so no, ɔhwee ne nan ase, sɔɔ nʼanammɔn mu. Gehasi sum no, nanso Onyankopɔn onipa no kaa sɛ, “Gyaa no. Biribi reteetee no, na Awurade nso nkyerɛɛ me dekodeɛ no.”
And whanne sche hadde come to the man of God, in to the hil, sche took his feet; and Giezi neiyede, that he schulde remoue hir. And the man of God seide, Suffre thou hir; for hir soule is in bitternesse, and the Lord helde priuy fro me, and schewide not to me.
28 Na ɔbaa no kaa sɛ, “Wo ara me wura, wo na wokaa sɛ, mɛnya ɔbabarima. Na manka ankyerɛ wo sɛ mma memfa mʼani nto so?”
And sche seide to hym, Whether I axide my sone of my lord? Whether Y seide not to thee, Scorne thou not me?
29 Na Elisa ka kyerɛɛ Gehasi sɛ, “Boa wo ho, na mensoma wo, fa me poma no, na kɔ. Nkasa obiara ho wɔ ɛkwan so. Kɔ na fa poma no kɔto abɔfra no anim.”
And he seide to Giezi, Girde thi leendis, and take my staf in thin hond, and go; if a man metith thee, grete thou not hym; and if ony man gretith thee, answere thou not hym; and putte thou my staf on the face of the child.
30 Na abarimaa no maame kaa sɛ, “Mmerɛ dodoɔ a Awurade te ase, na wo nso wote ase yi, merenkɔ efie gye sɛ woka me ho.” Enti, Elisa sane ne no kɔeɛ.
Forsothe the `modir of the child seide, The Lord lyueth and thi soule lyueth, Y schal not leeue, `ether forsake, thee. Therfor he roos, and suede hir.
31 Gehasi yɛɛ ntɛm dii ɛkan, de poma no kɔtoo abɔfra no anim, nanso biribiara ansi. Nkwa ho nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ biara amma. Ɔsane nʼakyi kɔhyiaa Elisa, bɔɔ no amaneɛ sɛ, “Abɔfra no nnyaneeɛ.”
Sotheli Giezi yede bifor hem, and puttide the staaf on the face of the child; and `vois was not, nether wit. And Giezi turnede ayen to the meetyng of hym; and telde to him, and seyde, The child `roos not.
32 Ɛberɛ a Elisa duruu hɔ no, ampa na abɔfra no awu da odiyifoɔ no mpa so.
Therfor Elisee entride in to the hows, and, lo! the deed child lai in his bed.
33 Ɔno nko kɔɔ hɔ, too ne ho ɛpono mu, bɔɔ Awurade mpaeɛ.
And he entride, and closide the dore on hym silf, and on the child; and preiede to the Lord.
34 Afei, ɔbutuu abɔfra no so, de nʼano tuaa abɔfra no ano, de nʼani fam abɔfra no ani, de ne nsa sosɔɔ abɔfra no nsa. Afei, abɔfra no ho hyɛɛ aseɛ yɛɛ hye bio.
And he stiede, and lay on the child; and he puttide his mouth on the mouth of the child, and hise iyen on the iyen of the child, and hise hondis on the hondis of the child. And he bouwide hym silf on the child; and the fleisch of the child was maad hoot.
35 Elisa sɔre, dii akɔneaba wɔ ɛdan no mu kakra. Afei, ɔdaa abɔfra no so bio. Saa ɛberɛ yi, abɔfra no nwansii mprɛnson, na ɔtee nʼani.
And he turnede ayen, and walkide in the hows onys hidur and thidur; and Elisee stiede, and lai on the child, and the child yoxide seuene sithis, and openyde the iyen.
36 Afei, Elisa somaa Gehasi sɛ, “Frɛ abɔfra no na bra.” Ne maame no baeɛ no, Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wo ba no nie, fa no kɔ.”
And he clepide Giezi, and seide to hym, Clepe thou this Sunamyte. And sche was clepid, and entride to hym. And he seide, Take thi sone.
37 Ɔfiri ahodwirie mu hwee ne nan ase daa no ase. Afei, ɔfaa ne ba no, de no siane kɔɔ fam.
She cam, and felde doun to his feet, and worschipide on erthe; and sche took hir sone, and yede out.
38 Elisa sane kɔɔ Gilgal, nanso na ɛkɔm asi asase no so. Ɛda bi a adiyifokuo tete nʼanim no, ɔka kyerɛɛ ne ɔsomfoɔ sɛ, “Fa ɛsɛn kɛseɛ si ogya so, na yɛ abɔmu ma saa mmarima yi.”
And Elisee turnede ayen in to Galgala. Forsothe hungur was in the lond, and the sones of prophetis dwelliden bifor hym. And Elisee seide to oon of his children, Set thou a greet pot, and sethe thou potage to the sones of prophetis.
39 Wɔn mu baako kɔɔ wiram sɛ ɔrekɔpɛ atosodeɛ, na ɔnyaa ɛferɛ bɔtɔ ma de baeɛ. Ɔtwitwa de guu ɛsɛn no mu a na ɔnnim sɛ awuduro wɔ mu.
And oon yede out in to the feeld to gadere eerbis of the feeld; and he foond as a wilde vyne, and he gaderide therof gourdis of the feeld. And he fillide his mentil, and he turnede ayen, and schredde in to the pot of potage; for he wiste not what it was.
40 Na wɔdii kakra bi pɛ, wɔteateaam sɛ, “Onyankopɔn onipa, awuduro wɔ abɔmu no mu!” Ɛno enti, wɔanni bio.
Therfor thei helden yn to felowis to ete; and whanne thei hadden taastid of the sething, thei crieden out, and seiden, Deth in the pot! deeth in the pot! thou man of God. And thei miyten not ete. And he seide, Brynge ye meele.
41 Elisa kaa sɛ, “Mommrɛ me asikyiresiam kakra.” Ɔde guu ɛsɛn no mu, kaa sɛ, “Afei, ayɛ yie enti monkɔdi.” Na anha wɔn bio.
And whanne thei hadden brouyt, he puttide in to the pot, and seide, Helde ye to the cumpany, that thei ete; and ony thing of bitternesse was nomore in the pot.
42 Ɛda bi, ɔbarima bi a ɔyɛ Baal-Salisani brɛɛ Onyankopɔn onipa no atokoɔ foforɔ bɔtɔ ma, ne burodo mua aduonu. Elisa kaa sɛ, “Fa ma adiyifokuo no, na wɔnni.”
Forsothe sum man cam fro the pleyn of Salisa, and bar to the man of God looues of the firste fruytis, ten looues of barli, and newe wheete, in his scrippe. And the man of God seide, Yyue thou to the puple, that it ete.
43 Ɔsomfoɔ no teaam sɛ, “Wose sɛn? Kakra yi na yɛmfa mma nnipa ɔha yi anaa?” Nanso, Elisa tii mu sɛ, “Fa ma adiyifokuo no, na wɔnni, na Awurade ka sɛ, ‘Obiara bɛdi amee, na ebi mpo bɛka akyire.’”
And his mynystre answeride to hym, `Hou myche is this, that Y sette bifor an hundrid men? Eft Elisee seide, Yyue thou to the puple, that it ete; for the Lord seith these thingis, Thei schulen ete, and it shal leeue.
44 Na ampa ara, obiara didi meeɛ ma ebi mpo kaaeɛ, sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ ho bɔ no.
Therfor he puttide bifor hem, whiche eeten; and it lefte, bi the word of the Lord.
