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 to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead. You know that your servant feared Yahweh. Now the creditor has come to take for himself my two children to be slaves.”
2فقال لها اليشع ماذا اصنع لك. اخبريني ماذا لك في البيت فقالت ليس لجاريتك شيء في البيت الا دهنة زيت.
2Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me: what do you have in the house?” She said, “Your handmaid has nothing in the house, except a pot of oil.”
3فقال اذهبي استعيري لنفسك اوعية من خارج من عند جميع جيرانك اوعية فارغة. لا تقللي.
3Then he said, “Go, borrow containers from of all your neighbors, even empty containers. Don’t borrow just a few.
4ثم ادخلي واغلقي الباب على نفسك وعلى بنيك وصبّي في جميع هذه الاوعية وما امتلأ انقليه.
4You shall go in, and shut the door on you and on your sons, and pour out into all those containers; and you shall 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 on her and on her sons; they brought the containers to her, and she poured out.
6ولما امتلأت الاوعية قالت لابنها قدم لي ايضا وعاء. فقال لها لا يوجد بعد وعاء. فوقف الزيت.
6It happened, when the containers were full, that she said to her son, “Bring me another container.” He said to her, “There isn’t another container.” The oil stopped flowing.
7فاتت واخبرت رجل الله فقال اذهبي بيعي الزيت واوفي دينك وعيشي انت وبنوك بما بقي
7Then she came and told the man of God. He said, “Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.”
8وفي ذات يوم عبر اليشع الى شونم. وكانت هناك امرأة عظيمة فامسكته لياكل خبزا. وكان كلما عبر يميل الى هناك لياكل خبزا.
8It fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman; and she persuaded him to eat bread. So it was, that as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat bread.
9فقالت لرجلها قد علمت انه رجل الله مقدس الذي يمرّ علينا دائما.
9She said to her husband, “See now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God, that passes by us continually.
10فلنعمل عليّة على الحائط صغيرة ونضع له هناك سريرا وخوانا وكرسيا ومنارة حتى اذا جاء الينا يميل اليها.
10Please let us make a little room on the wall. Let us set for him there a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp stand. It shall be, when he comes to us, that he shall turn in there.”
11وفي ذات يوم جاء الى هناك ومال الى العليّة واضطجع فيها.
11One day he came there, and he turned into the room and lay there.
12فقال لجيحزي غلامه ادع هذه الشونمية. فدعاها فوقفت امامه.
12He said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite.” 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.
13He said to him, “Say now to her, ‘Behold, you have cared for us with all this care. What is to be done for you? Would you like to be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the army?’” She answered, “I dwell among my own people.”
14ثم قال فماذا يصنع لها. فقال جيحزي انه ليس لها ابن ورجلها قد شاخ.
14He said, “What then is to be done for her?” Gehazi answered, “Most certainly she has no son, and her husband is old.”
15فقال ادعها. فدعاها فوقفت في الباب.
15He said, “Call her.” 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.
16He said, “At this season, when the time comes around, you will embrace a son.” She said, “No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your handmaid.”
17فحبلت المرأة وولدت ابنا في ذلك الميعاد نحو زمان الحياة كما قال لها اليشع.
17The woman conceived, and bore a son at that season, when the time came around, as Elisha had said to her.
18وكبر الولد. وفي ذات يوم خرج الى ابيه الى الحصادين.
18When the child was grown, it happened one day that he went out to his father to the reapers.
19وقال لابيه راسي راسي. فقال للغلام احمله الى امه.
19He said to his father, “My head! My head!” He said to his servant, “Carry him to his mother.”
20فحمله وأتى به الى امه فجلس على ركبتيها الى الظهر ومات.
20When he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees until noon, and then died.
21فصعدت واضجعته على سرير رجل الله واغلقت عليه وخرجت.
21She went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door on him, and went out.
22ونادت رجلها وقالت ارسل لي واحدا من الغلمان واحدى الاتن فاجري الى رجل الله وارجع.
22She called to her husband, and said, “Please send me one of the servants, and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.”
23فقال لماذا تذهبين اليه اليوم. لا راس شهر ولا سبت. فقالت سلام.
23He said, “Why would you want go to him today? It is neither new moon nor Sabbath.” She said, “It’s alright.”
24وشدّت على الاتان وقالت لغلامها سق وسر ولا تتعوّق لاجلي في الركوب ان لم اقل لك.
24Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, “Drive, and go forward! Don’t slow down for me, unless I ask you to.”
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 to the man of God to Mount Carmel. It happened, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, “Behold, there is the Shunammite.
26اركض الآن للقائها وقل لها أسلام لك. أسلام لزوجك. أسلام للولد. فقالت سلام.
26Please run now to meet her, and ask her, ‘Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child?’” 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.
27When she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. Gehazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, “Leave her alone; for her soul is troubled within her; and Yahweh has hidden it from me, and has not told me.”
28فقالت هل طلبت ابنا من سيدي. ألم اقل لا تخدعني.
28Then she said, “Did I desire a son of my lord? Didn’t I 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, “Tuck your cloak into your belt, take my staff in your hand, and go your way. If you meet any man, don’t greet him; and if anyone greets you, don’t answer him again. Then lay my staff on the face of the child.”
30فقالت ام الصبي حيّ هو الرب وحية هي نفسك انني لا اتركك. فقام وتبعها.
30The mother of the child said, “As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” 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.
31Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff on the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Therefore he returned to meet him, and told him, saying, “The child has not awakened.”
32ودخل اليشع البيت واذا بالصبي ميت ومضطجع على سريره.
32When Elisha had come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid on his bed.
33فدخل واغلق الباب على نفسيهما كليهما وصلّى الى الرب.
33He went in therefore, and shut the door on them both, and prayed to Yahweh.
34ثم صعد واضطجع فوق الصبي ووضع فمه على فمه وعينيه على عينيه ويديه على يديه وتمدّد عليه فسخن جسد الولد.
34He went up, and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. He stretched himself on him; and the flesh of the child grew 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 back and forth; and went up, and stretched himself on him. Then the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
36فدعا جيحزي وقال ادع هذه الشونمية. فدعاها ولما دخلت اليه قال احملي ابنك.
36He called Gehazi, and said, “Call this Shunammite!” So he called her. When she had come in to him, he said, “Take up your 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.
38Elisha came again to Gilgal. There was a famine in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he said to his servant, “Set on the great pot, and boil stew 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.
39One went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered of it wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of stew; for they didn’t recognize them.
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. It happened, as they were eating of the stew, that they cried out, and said, “Man of God, there is death in the pot!” They could not eat of it.
41فقال هاتوا دقيقا. فالقاه في القدر وقال صبّ للقوم فيأكلوا. فكانه لم يكن شيء رديء في القدر
41But he said, “Then bring meal.” He cast it into the pot; and he said, “Pour out for the people, that they may eat.” 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.
42A man from Baal Shalishah came, and brought the man of God bread of the first fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of grain in his sack. He said, “Give to 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.
43His servant said, “What, should I set this before a hundred men?” But he said, “Give the people, that they may eat; for thus says Yahweh, ‘They will eat, and will have some left over.’”
44فجعل امامهم فأكلوا وفضل عنهم حسب قول الرب
44So he set it before them, and they ate, and left some of it, according to the word of Yahweh.
