¹Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.

¹Neka žena pa izmed žen proroških sinov kliče k Elizeju in reče: Hlapec tvoj, moj mož, je umrl, ti pa veš, da se je bal hlapec tvoj GOSPODA. Pa je prišel upnik in hoče vzeti oba otroka moja sebi za hlapca!

²And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.

²Elizej ji reče: Kaj naj ti storim? Povej mi, kaj imaš v hiši? Odgovori: Dekla tvoja nima ničesar v hiši kakor le vrček olja.

³Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbors, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.

³Tedaj veli: Pojdi, naprosi si zunaj posod od vseh svojih sosed, praznih posod in nikar le malo.

⁴And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.

⁴In stopi noter in zakleni duri za seboj in za sinoma svojima in potem nalij vse te posode; in katera bo polna, jo postavi vstran.

⁵So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.

⁵In odide od njega ter zaklene duri za sabo in za sinoma svojima; ta ji prinašata posode in ona naliva.

⁶And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.

⁶In ko so bile posode polne, veli sinu svojemu: Še mi podaj posodo! A on ji reče: Ni več posode tu! In olje se ustavi.

⁷Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.

⁷Nato gre in naznani možu Božjemu. On reče: Pojdi, prodaj olje in poplačaj dolg; in kar ostane, ob tem se živi s svojima sinoma!

⁸And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.

⁸In nekega dne gre Elizej skozi Sunam, in ondi je bila bogata žena; ta ga pridrži, da bi pri njej jedel. In kadarkoli je poslej šel mimo, je stopil k njej in zaužil kruha.

⁹And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.

⁹In ona reče možu svojemu: Glej, spoznavam, da je to svet mož Božji, ki vedno hodi mimo nas.

¹⁰Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.

¹⁰Narediva mu, prosim, zidano zgornjo izbico in vanjo mu postavimo posteljo, mizo, stol in svečnik; in kadar pride k nam, naj vstopi.

¹¹And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there.

¹¹In ko je neki dan dospel k njima, stopi v zgornjo izbico in tam počiva.

¹²And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.

¹²Potem veli hlapcu svojemu Gehaziju: Pokliči to Sunamljanko! In ko jo pokliče, stopi ona predenj.

¹³And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.

¹³In on mu veli: Reci ji, prosim: Glej, trudila si se za naju z vso to postrežbo; morem li kaj zate storiti? Ali naj govorim zate s kraljem ali s poveljnikom vojske? Ona odgovori: Prebivam sredi svojega ljudstva.

¹⁴And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old.

¹⁴In on vpraša: Kaj torej naj se stori zanjo? Gehazi odgovori: Pač nekaj! Sina nima, in njen mož je star!

¹⁵And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.

¹⁵In veli: Pokliči jo! In ko jo pokliče, stopi ona med duri.

¹⁶And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.

¹⁶In ji reče: Ko se ponovi ta čas, čez leto, boš pestovala sina! Ona reče: Nikar, gospod moj, mož Božji, ne laži dekli svoji!

¹⁷And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life.

¹⁷A žena spočne in rodi sina ob tem času, ko se je ponovilo leto, kakor ji je bil rekel Elizej.

¹⁸And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.

¹⁸In ko je deček odrastel, se prigodi nekega dne, da gre ven k očetu svojemu, k ženjcem.

¹⁹And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother.

¹⁹Tu reče očetu svojemu: O glava moja, glava moja! On pa veli hlapcu: Nesi ga k materi njegovi!

²⁰And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.

²⁰Ta ga vzdigne in odnese materi njegovi. Ona ga posadi na kolena svoja do opoldne, in nato je umrl.

²¹And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out.

²¹In ona stopi gori in ga položi na posteljo moža Božjega, zaklene in odide ven.

²²And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.

²²In kliče možu svojemu in reče: Pošlji mi, prosim, enega izmed hlapcev in oslico, da pohitim do moža Božjega in se zopet vrnem.

²³And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.

²³On vpraša: Čemu hočeš k njemu danes? Saj ni mlaj, ne sobota. Ona reče: Dobro bode!

²⁴Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee.

²⁴In osedla oslico in veli hlapcu svojemu: ženi hitro naprej in ne zadržuj me v ježi, razen če ti povem!

²⁵So she went and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite:

²⁵Odpravi se torej in pride k možu Božjemu na goro Karmel. Ko jo zagleda mož Božji oddaleč, reče Gehaziju, hlapcu svojemu: Glej, tam je Sunamljanka!

²⁶Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well:

²⁶Sedaj pa ji teci, prosim, naproti in jo vprašaj: Se ti li godi dobro? Dobro li možu tvojemu? Dobro li je dečku? Ona odgovori: Dobro.

²⁷And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is vexed within her: and the LORD hath hid it from me, and hath not told me.

²⁷Ko pa pride do moža Božjega na goro, se oklene nog njegovih. In Gehazi pristopi, da bi jo odrinil. Ali mož Božji veli: Pusti jo! kajti njena duša je v bridkosti, in GOSPOD mi je prikril in mi ni naznanil.

²⁸Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?

²⁸Tedaj reče ona: Sem li mar gospoda svojega prosila sina? Nisem li rekla, da me ne varaj?

²⁹Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.

²⁹Nato veli on Gehaziju: opaši si ledja in vzemi palico mojo v roko in pojdi tja! Ako te kdo sreča, ga ne pozdravi, in če te kdo pozdravi, ga ne zahvali, in položi mojo palico dečku na obraz!

³⁰And the mother of the child said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her.

³⁰A mati dečkova reče: Kakor res živi GOSPOD in kakor živi duša tvoja, tebe jaz te ne pustim! Vstane torej in gre zanjo.

³¹And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.

³¹Gehazi pa ju je bil prešel in položil palico dečku na obraz, a ni bilo glasu, ne čuta. Zatorej se vrne in mu pride naproti in mu pove, rekoč: Deček se ni prebudil!

³²And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.

³²In ko pride Elizej v hišo, glej, deček leži mrtev na postelji njegovi.

³³He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the LORD.

³³In on stopi noter in zaklene duri pred njima obema in moli h GOSPODU.

³⁴And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.

³⁴In stopi gori in leže na dečka in položi usta svoja na njegova usta in oči svoje na njegove oči in roke svoje na njegove roke, in se razprostre nad njim, da se je ogrelo dečkovo meso.

³⁵Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.

³⁵Potem se vzdigne in hodi po hiši sem in tja, in zopet stopi gori in se razprostre nad njim. In deček kihne sedemkrat, potem odpre oči.

³⁶And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son.

³⁶On pa pokliče Gehazija in veli: Pokliči to Sunamljanko! Pokliče jo torej, in ko pride noter k njemu, reče: Vzemi sina svojega!

³⁷Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out.

³⁷Tedaj pristopi ona in mu pade pred noge in se prikloni do tal, nato vzame sina in odide.

³⁸And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons of the prophets.

³⁸Elizej pa pride zopet v Gilgal. In bila je lakota v deželi, in proroški sinovi so sedeli pred njim; in veli svojemu hlapcu: Pristavi velik lonec in skuhaj jed iz zelenjadi proroškim sinovom.

³⁹And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew them not.

³⁹In eden gre na polje nabirat zelišč in najde nekaj kakor trto in nabere ž nje divjih buček polno oblačilo svoje; in ko se vrne, jih zreže v lonec za jed; niso namreč tega poznali.

⁴⁰So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O thou man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof.

⁴⁰In nalijejo možem, da bi jedli. In ko so jedli od te jedi, zavpijejo in reko: O mož Božji, smrt je v loncu! In niso mogli jesti.

⁴¹But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot.

⁴¹On pa veli: Prinesite sem moke! In vrže moke v lonec in reče: Izlij ljudstvu, da bi jedli! In ni bilo nič hudega v loncu.

⁴²And there came a man from Baalshalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat.

⁴²In pride mož iz Baal-salisa in prinese možu Božjemu od prvin svojih: dvajset ječmenovih kruhov in svežega klasja v vreči svoji. On pa veli: Daj ljudstvu, da bi jedli!

⁴³And his servitor said, What, should I set this before an hundred men? He said again, Give the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the LORD, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof.

⁴³Njegov strežnik pa reče: Kaj? ali naj to dam sto možem? Pa on veli: Daj ljudstvu, da bi jedli! zakaj tako pravi GOSPOD: jedli bodo, in še preostane.Postavi torej prednje, in jedli so in je še ostalo po besedi GOSPODOVI.

⁴⁴So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the LORD.

⁴⁴Postavi torej prednje, in jedli so in je še ostalo po besedi GOSPODOVI.
