¹Kord hüüdis Eliisale keegi naine, üks prohvetijüngrite naisi, öeldes: 'Su sulane, minu mees, on surnud. Ja sa tead, et su sulane kartis Issandat. Nüüd tuleb võlausaldaja mu kahte poega enesele orjaks võtma.'

¹And a woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried to Elisha saying, Thy servant my husband is dead, and thou knowest that thy servant feared Jehovah; and the creditor is come to take my two children to be bondmen.

²Ja Eliisa ütles temale: 'Mis ma pean sulle tegema? Ütle mulle, mis sul kojas on.' Ja ta vastas: 'Su teenijal ei ole kojas midagi muud kui kruus õli.'

²And Elisha said to her, What shall I do for thee? Tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thy handmaid has not anything at all in the house but a pot of oil.

³Siis ta ütles: 'Mine palu enesele külast astjaid, kõigilt oma naabreilt, tühje astjaid ja mitte liiga vähe!

³And he said, Go, borrow for thyself vessels abroad from all thy neighbours, empty vessels; let it not be few;

⁴Siis mine ja sule uks enese ja oma poegade järelt ja vala kõigisse neisse astjaisse; ja mis saab täis, pane kõrvale!'

⁴and go in, and shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and pour out into all those vessels, and set aside what is full.

⁵Ja naine läks ta juurest ära ja sulges ukse enese ja oma poegade järelt; nemad tõid temale astjaid ja tema valas õli sisse.

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

⁶Ja kui astjad said täis, siis ta ütles oma pojale: 'Too mulle veel üks astja!' Aga poeg vastas temale: 'Astjat ei ole enam.' Ja õlivool lakkas.

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

⁷Siis ta tuli ja kuulutas seda jumalamehele; ja see ütles: 'Mine müü õli ära ja tasu oma võlg! Sina ja su pojad aga elage ülejäägist!'

⁷And 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 on the rest.

⁸Ja ühel päeval juhtus, et Eliisa läks Suunemisse; seal oli keegi rikas naine ja see peatas teda leiba võtma; nõnda iga kord, kui ta sealt läbi läks, põikas ta sinna leiba võtma.

⁸And it came to pass on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a wealthy 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.

⁹Ja naine ütles oma mehele: 'Vaata, ma tean, et see, kes alati meilt mööda läheb, on püha jumalamees.

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

¹⁰Tehkem ometi pisike müürikamber ja pangem temale sinna ase, laud, iste ja lambijalg; ja kui ta tuleb meie juurde, siis ta võib minna sinna.'

¹⁰Let us make, I pray thee, a small upper chamber with walls, and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a seat, and a lampstand; and it shall be when he cometh to us, he shall turn in thither.

¹¹Ja ühel päeval juhtus, et ta tuli sinna, läks müürikambrisse ja magas seal.

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

¹²Ja ta ütles oma teenrile Geehasile: 'Kutsu see suunemlanna!' Ja see kutsus tema ning naine astus ta ette.

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

¹³Siis ta ütles teenrile: 'Ütle ometi temale: Vaata, sa oled meie pärast kõike seda vaeva näinud. Mida saaks teha sinu heaks? Kas on tarvis su eest midagi rääkida kuninga või väepealikuga?' Aga naine vastas: 'Ma elan ju oma rahva keskel.'

¹³And he said to him, Say now to 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 said, I dwell among mine own people.

¹⁴Eliisa küsis: 'Mida siis saaks teha tema heaks?' Ja Geehasi vastas: 'Vaata, tal pole poega ja ta mees on vana.'

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

¹⁵Siis ta ütles: 'Kutsu tema!' Ja Geehasi kutsus ta, ja naine astus uksele.

¹⁵And he said, Call her; and he called her; and she stood in the doorway.

¹⁶Ja Eliisa ütles: 'Aasta pärast selsamal ajal sa kaisutad poega.' Aga ta vastas: 'Ei, mu isand! Sina, jumalamees, ära peta oma teenijat!'

¹⁶And he said, At this appointed time, when thy term is come, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, No, my lord, man of God, do not lie to thy handmaid.

¹⁷Ent naine jäi lapseootele ja tõi aasta pärast selsamal ajal poja ilmale, nagu Eliisa temale oli öelnud.

¹⁷And the woman conceived, and bore a son at that appointed time in the next year as Elisha had said to her.

¹⁸Ja kui laps oli suuremaks kasvanud, siis juhtus ühel päeval, et ta läks välja oma isa juurde, kes oli viljalõikajate juures,

¹⁸And the child grew, and it came to pass one day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.

¹⁹ja ütles oma isale: 'Mu pea! Mu pea!' Ja isa ütles oma teenrile: 'Kanna ta tema ema juurde!'

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

²⁰Ja see kandis teda ning viis ta tema ema juurde; ja poeg istus ema põlvil kuni keskpäevani, siis ta suri.

²⁰And he carried him, and brought him to his mother; and he sat on her knees till noon, and died.

²¹Ja ema läks üles ja pani ta jumalamehe voodisse, sulges ukse tema järelt ja läks välja.

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

²²Siis kutsus ta oma mehe ja ütles: 'Läkita mulle nüüd keegi poistest ja üks emaeesel, siis ma ruttan jumalamehe juurde ja tulen kohe tagasi!'

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

²³Aga mees ütles: 'Miks sa täna lähed tema juurde? Ei ole ju noorkuu ega hingamispäev.' Kuid ta vastas: 'Ole mureta!'

²³And he said, Why wilt thou go to him to-day? It is neither new moon nor sabbath. And she said, [It is] well.

²⁴Ja ta saduldas emaeesli ning ütles oma teenrile: 'Aja ühtesoodu ja ära peata mu sõitu muidu, kui ma sulle ütlen!'

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

²⁵Ja ta läks ning tuli jumalamehe juurde Karmeli mäele; ja kui jumalamees teda eemalt nägi, siis ta ütles Geehasile, oma teenrile: 'Näe, see on suunemlanna!

²⁵And she went and came to 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, there is the Shunammite:

²⁶Jookse nüüd temale vastu ja küsi temalt: Kas sinu ja su mehe ja su poja käsi käib hästi?' Ja naine vastas: 'Hästi.'

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 said, It is well.

²⁷Ja kui ta tuli jumalamehe juurde mäele, siis ta võttis tema jalgade ümbert kinni; aga Geehasi astus ligi, et teda eemale tõugata, kuid jumalamees ütles: 'Jäta ta rahule, sest ta hing on meeleheitel! Issand on seda varjanud minu eest ega ole mulle avaldanud.'

²⁷And she came to the man of God to the mountain, and caught him by the feet; and Gehazi drew near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, Let her alone, for her soul is troubled within her, and Jehovah has hidden it from me, and has not told me.

²⁸Ja naine ütles: 'Kas ma palusin oma isandalt poega? Kas ma ei öelnud, et ära mind peta?'

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

²⁹Siis Eliisa ütles Geehasile: 'Pane vöö vööle, võta minu sau kätte ja mine! Kui sa kohtad kedagi, siis ära tereta teda, ja kui keegi teretab sind, siis ära vasta temale! Ja pane mu sau poisikese silmade peale!'

²⁹And 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 lad.

³⁰Aga poisikese ema ütles: 'Nii tõesti kui Issand elab, ja nii tõesti kui su hing elab, ma ei jäta sind!' Siis Eliisa tõusis ja läks tema järele.

³⁰And the mother of the lad said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee! And he rose up and followed her.

³¹Aga Geehasi oli läinud nende ees ja oli pannud saua poisikese silmade peale: kuid ei häält ega märkamist! Ja ta tuli tagasi Eliisale vastu ja jutustas talle, öeldes: 'Poisike ei ärganud.'

³¹And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the lad; but there was neither voice, nor sign of attention. And he returned to meet him, and told him saying, The lad is not awaked.

³²Ja Eliisa tuli sinna kotta, ja vaata, poisike oli surnud ja pandud tema voodisse.

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

³³Ta läks sisse ning sulges ukse nende mõlema järelt ja palus Issandat.

³³And he went in and shut the door upon them both, and prayed to Jehovah.

³⁴Siis ta astus voodisse, heitis lapse peale, pani oma suu tema suu peale, oma silmad tema silmade peale ja oma käed tema käte peale; ja kui ta tema peal lamas, siis soojenes lapse ihu.

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 bent over him; and the flesh of the child grew warm.

³⁵Siis ta tuli ja kõndis kojas korra sinna ja tänna, läks üles ja heitis poisi peale; siis aevastas poisike seitse korda ja avas silmad.

³⁵And he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and bent over him. And the lad sneezed seven times, and the lad opened his eyes.

³⁶Ja ta kutsus Geehasi ning ütles: 'Kutsu see suunemlanna!' Ja Geehasi kutsus naise ning naine tuli tema juurde. Ja Eliisa ütles: 'Võta oma poeg!'

³⁶And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. And he called her; and she came to him. And he said, Take up thy son.

³⁷Ja naine tuli ja langes tema jalgade ette ning kummardas maani, võttis oma poja ja läks välja.

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

³⁸Ja Eliisa läks tagasi Gilgali. Ja maal oli nälg. Ja kui prohvetijüngrid tema ees istusid, ütles ta oma teenrile: 'Pane suur pott tulele ja keeda prohvetijüngritele leent!'

³⁸And Elisha came again to Gilgal. And 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 pottage for the sons of the prophets.

³⁹Ja üks neist läks väljale noppima kassinaereid, leidis aga metsiku väänkasvu, noppis sellelt oma kuue täis marju ja tuli ning lõikas need leemepotti, sest nad ei tundnud neid.

³⁹Then one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered from it his lap full of wild colocynths, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage; for they did not know them.

⁴⁰Ja meestele kallati süüa; aga kui nad leent sõid, siis kisendasid nad ja ütlesid: 'Jumalamees, surm on potis!' Ja nad ei võinud süüa.

⁴⁰And 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, Man of God, there is death in the pot! And they could not eat [it].

⁴¹Tema aga ütles: 'Tooge jahu!' Ja ta viskas selle potti ning ütles: 'Kallake rahvale ja nad söögu!' Siis ei olnud potis midagi halba.

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

⁴²Ja keegi mees tuli Baal-Saalisast ning tõi jumalamehele uudseleiba - kakskümmend odraleiba, ja tema leivakotis oli vastvalminud vilja. Eliisa ütles: 'Anna rahvale, et nad süüa saaksid!'

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 corn in his sack. And he said, Give to the people that they may eat.

⁴³Aga tema teener küsis: 'Kuidas ma seda sajale mehele ette annan?' Ja ta vastas: 'Anna rahvale ja nad söögu, sest nõnda ütleb Issand: Sellest saab süüa ja jääb ülegi!'

⁴³And his attendant said, How shall I set this before a hundred men? And he said, Give the people that they may eat; for thus saith Jehovah: They shall eat, and shall have to spare.

⁴⁴Ja teener pani selle neile ette ja nad sõid ning jätsid ülegi, Issanda sõna peale.

⁴⁴And he set [it] before them, and they ate and left [thereof], according to the word of Jehovah.
