¹[Ny nampitomboan'i Elisa ny diloilon'ilay vehivavy maty vady] Ary nisy vehivavy anankiray, vadin'ny zanaky ny mpaminany, nitaraina tamin'i Elisa hoe: Maty ny vadiko mpanomponao; ary ianao mahalala fa natahotra an'i Jehovah ny mpanomponao; nefa tonga ny tompo-trosa haka ny zanako mirahalahy ho andevony

¹And a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets hath cried unto Elisha, saying, `Thy servant, my husband, is dead, and thou hast known that thy servant was fearing Jehovah, and the lender hath come to take my two children to him for servants.`

²Dia hoy Elisa taminy: Inona ary no hataoko ho anao? Lazao amiko: inona avy no anananao ao an-trano? Fa hoy ravehivavy: Ny ankizivavinao tsy manana na inona na inona ao an-trano afa-tsy diloilo iray tavoara monja.

²And Elisha saith unto her, `What do I do for thee? declare to me, what hast thou in the house?` and she saith, `Thy maid-servant hath nothing in the house except a pot of oil.`

³Ary hoy izy: Andeha mindram-bilany amin'ny namanao rehetra manodidina, dia vilany tsy misy zavatra, nefa aza atao vitsy.

³And he saith, `Go, ask for thee vessels from without, from all thy neighbours — empty vessels — let [them] not be few;

⁴Ary rehefa tafiditra ianao, dia aoka hirindrim-baravarana ianao sy izy mirahalahy zanakao, ary manidina amin'izany vilany rehetra izany, dia atokàny izay feno.

⁴and thou hast entered, and shut the door upon thee, and upon thy sons, and hast poured out into all these vessels, and the full ones thou dost remove.`

⁵Dia niala teo aminy ravehivavy ka nirindrim-baravarana mbamin'izy mirahalahy zanany, ary izy mirahalahy nitondra ny vilany ho any aminy, fa reniny kosa nanidina ny diloilo.

⁵And she goeth from him, and shutteth the door upon her, and upon her sons; they are bringing nigh unto her, and she is pouring out,

⁶Ary nony feno ny vilany, dia hoy izy tamin'ny zanany: Itondray vilany iray koa aho. Fa hoy kosa ireo taminy: Tsy misy vilany intsony. Ary dia nitsahatra ny diloilo.

⁶and it cometh to pass, at the filling of the vessels, that she saith unto her son, `Bring nigh unto me a vessel more,` and he saith unto her, `There is not a vessel more;` and the oil stayeth.

⁷Dia avy ravehivavy ka nilaza tamin'ny lehilahin'Andriamanitra. Ary hoy kosa izy: Mandehana, amidio ny diloilo, ka anefao izay trosan'olona aminao, ary izay sisa dia hivelomanao sy ny zanakao.

⁷And she cometh and declareth to the man of God, and he saith, `Go, sell the oil, and repay thy loan; and thou [and] thy sons do live of the rest.`

⁸[Ny amin'ilay vehivavy Sonemita sy ny zanany] Ary tamin'ny indray andro Elisa dia nankany Sonema, ary nisy vehivavy mpanankarena teo izay nanery azy hihinan-kanina. Ary isaky ny mandalo izy, dia nivily nankao aminy hihinan-kanina.

⁸And the day cometh that Elisha passeth over unto Shunem, and there [is] a great woman, and she layeth hold on him to eat bread, and it cometh to pass, at the time of his passing over, he turneth aside thither to eat bread,

⁹Ary hoy ravehivavy tamin'ny lahy; Indro, fantatro fa masina sady lehilahin'Andriamanitra ilay mpandalo eto amintsika mandrakariva.

⁹and she saith unto her husband, `Lo, I pray thee, I have known that a holy man of God he is, passing over by us continually;

¹⁰Masìna ianao, andeha isika hanao efi-trano kely ambony rihana; ary hasiantsika fandriana sy latabatra sy seza ary fanaovan-jiro ho azy ao; ary raha tonga eto amintsika izy, dia ao no hipetraka.

¹⁰let us make, I pray thee, a little upper chamber of the wall, and we set for him there a bed, and a table, and a high seat, and a candlestick; and it hath been, in his coming in unto us, he doth turn aside thither.`

¹¹Ary tamin'ny indray andro dia tonga tao Elisa ka nipetraka tao amin'ilay efi-trano ambony ary nandry tao.

¹¹And the day cometh, that he cometh in thither, and turneth aside unto the upper chamber, and lieth there,

¹²Ary hoy izy tamin'i Gehazy zatovony: Antsoy ilay Sonemita. Ary rehefa nantsoiny ravehivavy, dia nitsangana teo anatrehany izy.

¹²and he saith unto Gehazi his young man, `Call for this Shunammite;` and he calleth for her, and she standeth before him.

¹³Ary hoy Elisa tamin'i Gehazy: Mba lazao amin-dravehivavy hoe: Indro, efa niahy anay tamin'izao fiahiana rehetra izao ianao, koa inona kosa no mba hatao ho anao? Tianao holazaina amin'ny mpanjaka va ianao, na amin'ny komandin'ny miaramila? Dia namaly ravehivavy hoe: Mitoetra atỳ amin'ny fireneko aho.

¹³And he saith to him, `Say, I pray thee, unto her, Lo, thou hast troubled thyself concerning us with all this trouble; what — to do for thee? is it to speak for thee unto the king, or unto the head of the host?` and she saith, `In the midst of my people I am dwelling.`

¹⁴Ary hoy Elisa: Fa inona ary no hatao ho anao? Dia namaly Gehazy hoe: Tsy hitanao va fa tsy manan-janaka izy, sady efa antitra ny lahy?

¹⁴And he saith, `And what — to do for her?` and Gehazi saith, `Verily she hath no son, and her husband [is] aged.`

¹⁵Ary hoy Elisa: Antsoy ary izy. Ary nony nantsoiny izy, dia nitsangana teo am-baravarana.

¹⁵And he saith, `Call for her;` and he calleth for her, and she standeth at the opening,

¹⁶Dia hoy izy: Raha mby amin'ny fotoana, raha avy ny taona toy izao, dia hitrotro zazalahy ianao. Ary hoy ravehivavy: Tsia, ry tompoko, lehilahin'Andriamanitra, aza mandainga amin'ny ankizivavinao.

¹⁶and he saith, `At this season, according to the time of life, thou art embracing a son;` and she saith, `Nay, my lord, O man of God, do not lie unto thy maid-servant.`

¹⁷Koa nefa nanan'anaka tokoa ravehivavy, ka nony niherina ny taona, dia tera-dahy izy tamin'ilay fotoana nolazain'i Elisa taminy.

¹⁷And the woman conceiveth and beareth a son, at this season, according to the time of life, that Elisha spake of unto her.

¹⁸Ary nony efa lehibe ny zaza, dia nankany amin'ny rainy tany amin'ny mpijinja vary izy indray andro,

¹⁸And the lad groweth, and the day cometh that he goeth out unto his father, unto the reapers,

¹⁹Ary hoy izy tamin-drainy: Edrey! ny an-dohako! ny an-dohako! Ary hoy rainy tamin'ny zatovo anankiray: Ento ho any amin-dreniny izy.

¹⁹and he saith unto his father, `My head, my head;` and he saith unto the young man, `Bear him unto his mother;`

²⁰Dia notrotroin'ilay zatovo izy ka nentiny ho any amin-dreniny, ary nampofoiny izy mandra-pitataovovonan'ny andro, dia maty.

²⁰and he beareth him, and bringeth him in unto his mother, and he sitteth on her knees till the noon, and dieth.

²¹Ary ravehivavy niakatra ka nampandry azy teo amin'ny fandrian'ilay lehilahin'Andriamanitra, dia narindriny ny trano, ka nivoaka izy.

²¹And she goeth up, and layeth him on the bed of the man of God, and shutteth [the door] upon him, and goeth out,

²²Ary niantso ny vadiny izy ka nanao hoe: Masìna ianao, asaovy misy zatovo anankiray mankaty amiko mitondra borikivavy anankiray, fa handeha faingana ho any amin'ny lehilahin'Andriamanitra aho, dia hiverina indray.

²²and calleth unto her husband, and saith, `Send, I pray thee, to me, one of the young men, and one of the asses, and I run unto the man of God, and return.`

²³Fa hoy ny lahy: Inona no hankanesanao any aminy anio, nefa tsy mba andro tsinam-bolana na Sabata tsinona izao? Ary hoy ravehivavy: Ka nahoana aza?

²³And he saith, `Wherefore art thou going unto him to-day? — neither new moon nor sabbath!` and she saith, `Peace [to thee]!`

²⁴Ary ravehivavy dia nanisy lasely ny borikivavy, ka hoy izy tamin'ny zatovony: Ampandehano, izy ka mizora; aza miahotrahotra akory amin'ny fampandehananao azy, raha tsy ampijanoniko ianao.

²⁴And she saddleth the ass, and saith unto her young man, `Lead, and go, do not restrain riding for me, except I have said [so] to thee.`

²⁵Dia lasa ravehivavy nankany amin'ny lehilahin'Andriamanitra tany an-tendrombohitra Karmela. Ary raha vao tazan'ny lehilahin'Andriamanitra avy erỳ izy, dia hoy izy tamin'i Gehazy zatovony: Ilay Sonemita lahy iry;

²⁵And she goeth, and cometh in unto the man of God, unto the hill of Carmel, and it cometh to pass, at the man of God`s seeing her from over-against, that he saith unto Gehazi his young man, `Lo, this Shunammite;

²⁶masìna ianao, mihazakazaha hitsena azy, ka ataovy aminy hoe: Tsara ihany va ianao: Tsara ihany va ny vadinao? Tsara ihany va ny zazalahy? Ary hoy ny famaliny: Tsara ihany.

²⁶now, run, I pray thee, to meet her, and say to her, Is there peace to thee? is there peace to thy husband? is there peace to the lad?` and she saith, `Peace.`

²⁷Ary rehefa tonga tany amin'ny lehilahin'Andriamanitra tany an-tendrombohitra izy, dia nandray ny tongony; fa Gehazy nanatona hampiala azy. Nefa hoy ny lehilahin'Andriamanitra: Avelao ihany izy, fa ory ny fanahiny ao anatiny, ary Jehovah efa nanafina izany tamiko, fa tsy nanambara tamiko.

²⁷And she cometh in unto the man of God, unto the hill, and layeth hold on his feet, and Gehazi cometh nigh to thrust her away, and the man of God saith, `Let her alone, for her soul [is] bitter to her, and Jehovah hath hidden [it] from me, and hath not declared [it] to me.`

²⁸Dia hoy ravehivavy: Moa naniry zaza taminao va aho, tompoko? Tsy hoy va aho: Aza mamitaka ahy?

²⁸And she saith, `Did I ask a son from my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?`

²⁹Ary hoy izy tamin'i Gehazy: Misikina, ary ento eny an-tananao ny tehiko, ka mandehana, raha mifanena amin'olona ianao, aza miarahaba azy; ary raha misy miarahaba anao, aza mamaly azy akory; ary apetraho eo amin'ny tavan'ny zazalahy ny tehiko.

²⁹And he saith to Gehazi, `Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go; when thou dost meet a man, thou dost not salute him; and when a man doth salute thee, thou dost not answer him; and thou hast laid my staff on the face of the youth.`

³⁰Ary hoy ny renin'ny zazalahy: Raha velona koa Jehovah, ary raha velona koa ny ainao, dia tsy hiala aminao mihitsy aho. Ary ilay lehilahin'Andriamanitra nitsangana ka nanaraka azy.

³⁰And the mother of the youth saith, `Jehovah liveth, and thy soul liveth — if I leave thee;` and he riseth and goeth after her.

³¹Ary Gehazy nialoha azy ka nametraka ny tehina teo amin'ny tavan'ny zazalahy; fa tsy nisy feo na faharenesana. Dia niverina nitsena azy indray izy ka nilaza taminy hoe: Tsy mahatsiaro akory ny zazalahy.

³¹And Gehazi hath passed on before them, and layeth the staff on the face of the youth, and there is no voice, and there is no attention, and he turneth back to meet him, and declareth to him, saying, `The youth hath not awaked.`

³²Ary rehefa tonga tao an-trano Elisa, indro, maty ny zazalahy sady nampandrina teo am-pandriany.

³²And Elisha cometh in to the house, and lo, the youth is dead, laid on his bed,

³³Ary niditra izy, ka nirindrim-baravarana tao izy roa lahy, ary Elisa nivavaka tamin'i Jehovah.

³³and he goeth in and shutteth the door upon them both, and prayeth unto Jehovah.

³⁴Ary niakatra izy ka nandry niampatra tambonin'ny zazalahy, ka ny vavany nataony tamin'ny vavany, ary ny masony tamin'ny masony, ary ny tànany tamin'ny tànany, ka dia nafana ny tenan'ny zazalahy.

³⁴And he goeth up, and lieth down on the lad, and putteth his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands, and stretcheth himself upon him, and the flesh of the lad becometh warm;

³⁵Dia niasa-dia tao an-trano izy ary niverina niampatra taminy indray; dia nievina impito ny zazalahy, ary nihiratra ny masony.

³⁵and he turneth back and walketh in the house, once hither and once thither, and goeth up and stretcheth himself upon him, and the youth sneezeth till seven times, and the youth openeth his eyes.

³⁶Ary Elisa niantso an'i Gehazy ka nanao hoe: Antsoy ilay Sonemita. Dia nantsoiny izy. Ary rehefa tafiditra tao aminy izy, dia hoy Elisa: Raiso ny zanakao.

³⁶And he calleth unto Gehazi, and saith, `Call unto this Shunammite;` and he calleth her, and she cometh in unto him, and he saith, `Lift up thy son.`

³⁷Dia niditra ravehivavy ka niantoraka tamin'ny tongony sady niankohoka tamin'ny tany, dia nandray ny zanany izy ka lasa nivoaka.

³⁷And she goeth in, and falleth at his feet, and boweth herself to the earth, and lifteth up her son, and goeth out.

³⁸[Ny nanatsaran'i Elisa ilay hanina saiky nahafaty, sy ny nampitomboany ny mofo roa-polo hahavoky ny olona zato lahy] Ary Elisa niverina nankany Gilgala; ary nisy mosary tamin'ny tany; ary ny zanakalahin'ny mpaminany nipetraka teo anatrehany, ka hoy izy tamin'ny zatovony: Ataovy eo an-tokoana ny vilany lehibe, ary mahandroa hanina ho an'ny zanakalahin'ny mpaminany.

³⁸And Elisha hath turned back to Gilgal, and the famine [is] in the land, and the sons of the prophets are sitting before him, and he saith to his young man, `Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.`

³⁹Ary ny anankiray nivoaka tany an-tsaha hitsongo anana ka nahita voantangomboalavo maniry ho azy, dia nanangona voany iray trotroana avy amin'io; ary nony tonga izy, dia nosolatsolarany narotsany tao amin'ny vilany nisy ny hanina, fa tsy nisy nahafantatra.

³⁹And one goeth out unto the field to gather herbs, and findeth a vine of the field, and gathereth of it gourds of the field — the fulness of his garment — and cometh in and splitteth [them] into the pot of pottage, for they knew [them] not;

⁴⁰Ka dia noloarany hohanin'ny olona izany. Ary raha mbola nihinana izy, dia nitaraina hoe: Ry lehilahin'Andriamanitra ô, misy mahafaty ao am-bilany. Ary tsy azony nohanina.[Heb. fahafatesana]

⁴⁰and they pour out for the men to eat, and it cometh to pass at their eating of the pottage, that they have cried out, and say, `Death [is] in the pot, O man of God!` and they have not been able to eat.

⁴¹Fa hoy Elisa: Itondray koba. Dia narotsany tao am-bilany ny koba, ka hoy izy: Andoary amin'izao ny olona hohaniny. Ary dia tsy nisy zavatra nampaninona intsony tao am-bilany.

⁴¹And he saith, `Then bring ye meal;` and he casteth into the pot, and saith, `Pour out for the people, and they eat;` and there was no evil thing in the pot.

⁴²Ary nisy lehilahy avy tany Bala-salisa nitondra mofo avy amin'ny voaloham-bokatra ho an'ny lehilahin'Andriamanitra, dia mofo vary hordea roa-polo sy salohim-bary maitso tao an-kitapo. Dia hoy Elisa: Omeo ny olona hohaniny ireny.

⁴²And a man hath come from Baal-Shalishah, and bringeth in to the man of God bread of first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in its husk, and he saith, `Give to the people, and they eat.`

⁴³Fa hoy kosa ny mpanompony: Hataoko ahoana no fametraka ity eo anoloan'ny zato lahy? Ary hoy indray Elisa: Omeo ihany ny olona hohaniny; fa izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Hihinana izy, ary mbola hisy sisa tsy lany.Dia narosony teo anoloany, ka dia nihinana izy, ary mbola nisy sisa tsy lany aza araka ny tenin'i Jehovah.

⁴³And his minister saith, `What — do I give this before a hundred men?` and he saith, `Give to the people, and they eat, for thus said Jehovah, Eat and leave;`

⁴⁴Dia narosony teo anoloany, ka dia nihinana izy, ary mbola nisy sisa tsy lany aza araka ny tenin'i Jehovah.

⁴⁴and he giveth before them, and they eat and leave, according to the word of Jehovah.
