1And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell before thee is too strait for us.
1 Annabey izey ne Iliyasu se: «A go sohõ, naŋ kaŋ iri go ga goro ni jine wo, nango kankam iri se.
2Let us go, we pray thee, to the Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he said, Go.
2 Iri ga ni ŋwaaray mo, naŋ iri ma koy Urdun. Iri afo kulu mo ma sambu dubi, iri ma te iri boŋ se goray nangu noodin.» A tu ka ne: «Wa koy.»
3And one said, Consent, I pray thee, to go with thy servants. And he said, I will go.
3 Kal afo ne a se: «Ni ma suuru, ay ga ni ŋwaaray. Ni ma kaa, ni ma yadda ka koy iri, ni bannyey banda.» A tu ka ne: «Ay ga koy.»
4And he went with them. And they came to the Jordan and cut down the trees.
4 A koy mo i banda. Kaŋ i to Urdun, kal i soobay ka tuuriyaŋ beeri.
5And it came to pass as one was felling a beam, that the iron fell into the water; and he cried and said, Alas, master, and it was borrowed!
5 Amma alwaato kaŋ boro fo go ga dubi beeri, a dees'izo kaŋ hari ra. A ce ka ne: «Kaari, ay jine bora! zama a ciya hiyaŋ hari no.»
6And the man of God said, Where did it fall? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither, and made the iron to swim.
6 Irikoy bora ne: «Man no a kaŋ?» A n'a cabe nango. A na sar'ize beeri k'a jindaw nango do ka naŋ guuro ma tun ka doy.
7And he said, Take [it] up to thee. And he put out his hand and took it.
7 A ne a se: «Di.» A n'a kambe salle k'a ta.
8And the king of Syria warred against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place [shall be] my camp.
8 Kala Suriya bonkoono go ga wongu nda Israyla. A saaware mo nda nga bannyey. A ne: «Nangu filaana no iri ga gata sinji.»
9And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place, for thither the Syrians are come down.
9 Kala Irikoy bora donton Israyla bonkoono gaa ka ne: «Ma faham ka bay. Ma si bisa nangu filaana, zama Suriyancey go ga zumbu noodin.»
10And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and he was on his guard there. [That took place] not once, nor twice.
10 Kala Israyla bonkoono mo donton nango kaŋ Irikoy bora ciinay a se, a kaseeti a gaa mo. A yana mo, manti ce fo wala ce hinka bo.
11And the heart of the king of Syria was troubled because of this thing; and he called his servants, and said to them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel?
11 Kala Suriya bonkoono bine sara gumo. Woodin sabbay se no a na nga bannyey ce ka ne i se: «W'ay cabe boro kulu kaŋ no iri game ra kaŋ go Israyla bonkoono do haray.»
12And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.
12 A bannyey ra afo mo ne: «Abada, ya ay Koyo, bonkoono. Iliyasu no, annabo din kaŋ go Israyla ra. Nga no ga sanney kaŋ ni ga ci ni kaniyaŋ fuwo ra ci Israyla bonkoono se.»
13And he said, Go and see where he is, and I will send and fetch him. And it was told him saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
13 Bonkoono ne a se: «Ni ma koy ka guna naŋ kaŋ a go, zama ya donton k'a di ka kand'a.» A ci a se ka ne: «Nga nooya Dotan ra.»
14And he sent thither horses and chariots, and a great host, and they came by night and surrounded the city.
14 Woodin sabbay se no a na bariyaŋ, da torkoyaŋ, da sata bambata donton noodin. I to noodin cin. I na kwaara windi.
15And when the attendant of the man of God rose early and went forth, behold, an army surrounded the city, with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
15 Alwaato kaŋ Irikoy bora zanka tun za susubay da hinay, a fatta. Kala sata nda torkey da bariyey go, i na kwaara windi. Kala zanka ne: «Kaari, ay windikoyo! Mate no iri ga te?»
16And he said, Fear not, for they that are with us are more than they that are with them.
16 Irikoy bora tu ka ne a se: «Ma si humburu, zama ngey kaŋ yaŋ go iri banda bisa ngey kaŋ yaŋ go i do haray baayaŋ.»
17And Elisha prayed and said, Jehovah, I pray thee, open his eyes that he may see. And Jehovah opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw; and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
17 Iliyasu te adduwa ka ne: «Ya Rabbi, ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma arwaso wo moy fiti zama a ma di.» Rabbi mo na arwaso moy fiti hal a di. Guna mo, tudo ga to nda bari nda torko yaŋ, danji wane yaŋ, Iliyasu windanta.
18And they came down to him; and Elisha prayed to Jehovah and said, Smite this nation, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
18 Alwaato kaŋ Suriyancey zumbu a do, Iliyasu na Rabbi ŋwaaray ka ne: «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma jama wo kar da danawtaray.» A n'i kar mo nda danawtaray Iliyasu sanno boŋ.
19And Elisha said to them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. And he led them to Samaria.
19 Iliyasu mo ne i se: «Neewo, manti nga no ga ti fonda bo! Neewo, manti nga no ga ti kwaara mo. W'ay gana, ay mo ya konda araŋ bora kaŋ araŋ go ga ceeci do.» Kal a kond'ey Samariya.
20And it came to pass when they entered into Samaria, that Elisha said, Jehovah, open the eyes of these [men] that they may see. And Jehovah opened their eyes, and they saw, and behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
20 I go no, alwaato kaŋ i furo Samariya ra, Iliyasu ne: «Ya Rabbi, ma borey wo moy fiti i ma du ka di.» Rabbi mo n'i moy fiti hal i di. A go mo, i go Samariya bindo ra.
21And the king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite? shall I smite [them]?
21 Alwaato kaŋ Israyla bonkoono di ey a ne Iliyasu se: «Ay baaba, ay m'i kar no? Y'i kar no?»
22And he said, Thou shalt not smite [them]: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.
22 Iliyasu tu ka ne a se: «Ni ma s'i kar bo. E! Ni ga borey kaŋ yaŋ ni di da takuba nda ni biraw kar no? Kala ni ma buuru nda hari daŋ i jine, i ma ŋwa ka haŋ, i ma ngey diraw te ka koy ngey koyo do.»
23And he prepared a great repast for them, and they ate and drank; and he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
23 Kal a na ŋwaari boobo soola i se. Alwaato kaŋ i ŋwa ka haŋ, a n'i sallama. I koy ngey koyo do. Suriya soojey mo mana ye ka ye Israyla laabo ra koyne.
24And it came to pass after this that Ben-Hadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria.
24 A ciya mo, woodin banda, Suriya bonkoono Ben-Hadad na nga jama kulu margu ka kaaru ka Samariya kwaara batandi.
25And there was a great famine in Samaria; and behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was worth eighty silver-pieces, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung five silver-pieces.
25 Haray bambata te Samariya ra mo. A go, i n'a windi nda wongu hal i na farka boŋ malku fo neera nzarfu wahakku me, muudu fo farsi taacante koloŋay birji mo nzarfu gu me.
26And it came to pass as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman to him saying, Help, my lord O king!
26 Israyla bonkoono binde go ga bisa birni cinaro boŋ, kala wayboro fo n'a ce ka ne a se: «Ya Koyo, ay bonkoono, kaa k'ay gaa!»
27And he said, If Jehovah do not help thee, whence should I help thee? Out of the threshing-floor, or out of the winepress?
27 Kal a tu ka ne: «Da Rabbi mana ni gaakasinay, mate no ay ga te ka ni gaakasinay d'a? Safayaŋ nango ra, wala mo reyzin* kankamyaŋ nango ra?»
28And the king said to her, What aileth thee? And she said, This woman said to me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to-day, and we will eat my son to-morrow.
28 Bonkoono ne a se mo: «Ifo ka du nin?» A ne: «Wayboro wo no ka ne ay se: ‹Ma ni izo no iri m'a ŋwa hunkuna, suba mo iri m'ay izo ŋwa.›
29And we boiled my son, and ate him: and I said to her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him; and she has hidden her son.
29 Iri n'ay izo hina ka ŋwa. A wane suba ay ne a se: ‹Ma ni izo no, iri m'a ŋwa.› Amma a na nga izo tugu.»
30And it came to pass when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his garments; and he was passing by upon the wall, and the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh.
30 A ciya mo, waato kaŋ bonkoono maa waybora din sanno, a na nga kwaayo tooru (a goono ga bisa birni cinaro boŋ) kala borey di, wiiza, a gonda bufu nga kuuro gaa haray.
31And he said, God do so, and more also to me, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall remain on him this day!
31 Alwaato din a ne: «Irikoy m'ay laali d'ay na Iliyasu, Safat izo boŋo naŋ a jinda gaa hunkuna!»
32And Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him. And [the king] sent a man before him. Before the messenger came to him, he himself said to the elders, Do ye see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? See, when the messenger comes; shut the door, and keep him off with the door: is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?
32 Amma Iliyasu goono ga goro nga windo ra, arkusey mo goono ga goro a banda. Bonkoono mo na boro fo donton nga jine. Amma hala diya ga to ka kaa, Iliyasu ne arkusey se: «Araŋ di mate kaŋ boro-wi izo wo donton i m'ay boŋo dagu? Guna, da diya kaa, kal araŋ ma windi meyo daabu, araŋ m'a gaay nda gaabi yooje si. Manti a jine bora ce yoojeyaŋ no ay go ga maa a banda wo?»
33And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down to him. And [the king] said, Behold, this evil is of Jehovah: why should I wait for Jehovah any longer?
33 Za a go sanno ra i se, kala diya zumbu ka kaa a do. Bonkoono ne: «Guna, masiiba wo, Rabbi do no a fun. Ifo no ga naŋ ya ye ka Rabbi batu.»
