¹وصرخت الى اليشع امرأة من نساء بني الانبياء قائلة ان عبدك زوجي قد مات وانت تعلم ان عبدك كان يخاف الرب. فأتى المرابي ليأخذ ولديّ له عبدين.

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 Jehovah: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two children to be bondmen.

²فقال لها اليشع ماذا اصنع لك. اخبريني ماذا لك في البيت فقالت ليس لجاريتك شيء في البيت الا دهنة زيت.

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

³فقال اذهبي استعيري لنفسك اوعية من خارج من عند جميع جيرانك اوعية فارغة. لا تقللي.

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

⁴ثم ادخلي واغلقي الباب على نفسك وعلى بنيك وصبّي في جميع هذه الاوعية وما امتلأ انقليه.

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

⁵فذهبت من عنده واغلقت الباب على نفسها وعلى بنيها. فكانوا هم يقدمون لها الاوعية وهي تصب.

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

⁶ولما امتلأت الاوعية قالت لابنها قدم لي ايضا وعاء. فقال لها لا يوجد بعد وعاء. فوقف الزيت.

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.

⁷فاتت واخبرت رجل الله فقال اذهبي بيعي الزيت واوفي دينك وعيشي انت وبنوك بما بقي

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 sons of the rest.

⁸وفي ذات يوم عبر اليشع الى شونم. وكانت هناك امرأة عظيمة فامسكته لياكل خبزا. وكان كلما عبر يميل الى هناك لياكل خبزا.

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.

⁹فقالت لرجلها قد علمت انه رجل الله مقدس الذي يمرّ علينا دائما.

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

¹⁰فلنعمل عليّة على الحائط صغيرة ونضع له هناك سريرا وخوانا وكرسيا ومنارة حتى اذا جاء الينا يميل اليها.

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

¹¹وفي ذات يوم جاء الى هناك ومال الى العليّة واضطجع فيها.

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

¹²فقال لجيحزي غلامه ادع هذه الشونمية. فدعاها فوقفت امامه.

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

¹³فقال له قل لها هوذا قد انزعجت بسببنا كل هذا الانزعاج. فماذا يصنع لك. هل لك ما يتكلم به الى الملك او الى رئيس الجيش. فقالت انما انا ساكنة في وسط شعبي.

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.

¹⁴ثم قال فماذا يصنع لها. فقال جيحزي انه ليس لها ابن ورجلها قد شاخ.

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

¹⁵فقال ادعها. فدعاها فوقفت في الباب.

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

¹⁶فقال في هذا الميعاد نحو زمان الحياة تحتضنين ابنا. فقالت لا يا سيدي رجل الله لا تكذب على جاريتك.

¹⁶And he said, At this season, when the time cometh round, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thy handmaid.

¹⁷فحبلت المرأة وولدت ابنا في ذلك الميعاد نحو زمان الحياة كما قال لها اليشع.

¹⁷And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season, when the time came round, as Elisha had said unto her.

¹⁸وكبر الولد. وفي ذات يوم خرج الى ابيه الى الحصادين.

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

¹⁹وقال لابيه راسي راسي. فقال للغلام احمله الى امه.

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

²⁰فحمله وأتى به الى امه فجلس على ركبتيها الى الظهر ومات.

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

²¹فصعدت واضجعته على سرير رجل الله واغلقت عليه وخرجت.

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

²²ونادت رجلها وقالت ارسل لي واحدا من الغلمان واحدى الاتن فاجري الى رجل الله وارجع.

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

²³فقال لماذا تذهبين اليه اليوم. لا راس شهر ولا سبت. فقالت سلام.

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.

²⁴وشدّت على الاتان وقالت لغلامها سق وسر ولا تتعوّق لاجلي في الركوب ان لم اقل لك.

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

²⁵وانطلقت حتى جاءت الى رجل الله الى جبل الكرمل. فلما رآها رجل الله من بعيد قال لجيحزي غلامه هوذا تلك الشونمية.

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 the Shunammite:

²⁶اركض الآن للقائها وقل لها أسلام لك. أسلام لزوجك. أسلام للولد. فقالت سلام.

²⁶run, I pray thee, now 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.

²⁷فلما جاءت الى رجل الله الى الجبل امسكت رجليه. فتقدم جيحزي ليدفعها. فقال رجل الله دعها لان نفسها مرّة فيها والرب كتم الأمر عني ولم يخبرني.

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

²⁸فقالت هل طلبت ابنا من سيدي. ألم اقل لا تخدعني.

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

²⁹فقال لجيحزي اشدد حقويك وخذ عكّازي بيدك وانطلق واذا صادفت احد فلا تباركه وان باركك احد فلا تجبه. وضع عكّازي على وجه الصبي.

²⁹Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy 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.

³⁰فقالت ام الصبي حيّ هو الرب وحية هي نفسك انني لا اتركك. فقام وتبعها.

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

³¹وجاز جيحزي قدامهما ووضع العكاز على وجه الصبي فلم يكن صوت ولا مصغ. فرجع للقائه واخبره قائلا لم ينتبه الصبي.

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 returned to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.

³²ودخل اليشع البيت واذا بالصبي ميت ومضطجع على سريره.

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

³³فدخل واغلق الباب على نفسيهما كليهما وصلّى الى الرب.

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

³⁴ثم صعد واضطجع فوق الصبي ووضع فمه على فمه وعينيه على عينيه ويديه على يديه وتمدّد عليه فسخن جسد الولد.

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 he stretched himself upon him; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.

³⁵ثم عاد وتمشى في البيت تارة الى هنا وتارة الى هناك وصعد وتمدّد عليه فعطس الصبي سبع مرّات ثم فتح الصبي عينيه.

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

³⁶فدعا جيحزي وقال ادع هذه الشونمية. فدعاها ولما دخلت اليه قال احملي ابنك.

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.

³⁷فاتت وسقطت على رجليه وسجدت الى الارض ثم حملت ابنها وخرجت

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

³⁸ورجع اليشع الى الجلجال. وكان جوع في الارض وكان بنو الانبياء جلوسا امامه. فقال لغلامه ضع القدر الكبيرة واسلق سليقة لبني الانبياء.

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 boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.

³⁹وخرج واحد الى الحقل ليلتقط بقولا فوجد يقطينا بريا فالتقط منه قثاء بريا ملء ثوبه وأتى وقطعه في قدر السليقة. لانهم لم يعرفوا.

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.

⁴⁰وصبوا للقوم ليأكلوا. وفيما هم يأكلون من السليقة صرخوا وقالوا في القدر موت يا رجل الله. ولم يستطيعوا ان ياكلوا.

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 man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof.

⁴¹فقال هاتوا دقيقا. فالقاه في القدر وقال صبّ للقوم فيأكلوا. فكانه لم يكن شيء رديء في القدر

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.

⁴²وجاء رجل من بعل شليشة واحضر لرجل الله خبز باكورة عشرين رغيفا من شعير وسويقا في جرابه. فقال اعط الشعب ليأكلوا.

⁴²And there came a man from Baal-shalishah, and brought the man of God bread of the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of grain in his sack. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat.

⁴³فقال خادمه ماذا. هل اجعل هذا امام مئة رجل. فقال اعط الشعب فياكلوا لانه هكذا قال الرب يأكلون ويفضل عنهم.

⁴³And his servant said, What, should I set this before a hundred men? But he said, Give the people, that they may eat; for thus saith Jehovah, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof.

⁴⁴فجعل امامهم فأكلوا وفضل عنهم حسب قول الرب

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