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

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.”

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.

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.”

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

³Then he said, “Go, borrow containers from of all your neighbors, even empty containers. Don’t borrow just a 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.

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.

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

⁹She said to her husband, “See now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God, that passes 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.

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.”

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

¹¹One day he came there, and he turned into the room and lay there.

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

¹²He said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite.” When he had called her, she stood 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.

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.”

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?

¹⁴He said, “What then is to be done for her?” Gehazi answered, “Most certainly she has no son, and her husband is old.”

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

¹⁵He said, “Call her.” When he had called her, she stood in the door.

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.

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.”

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

¹⁷The woman conceived, and bore a son at that season, when the time came around, as Elisha had said to her.

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

¹⁸When the child was grown, it happened one day that he went out to his father to 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.

¹⁹He said to his father, “My head! My head!” He said to his servant, “Carry him to his mother.”

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

²⁰When he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees until noon, and then died.

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

²¹She went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door on him, and went 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.

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.”

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?

²³He said, “Why would you want go to him today? It is neither new moon nor Sabbath.” She said, “It’s alright.”

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.

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.”

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;

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.”

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

²⁸Then she said, “Did I desire a son of my lord? Didn’t I 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.

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.”

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.

³⁰The mother of the child said, “As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” He arose, and followed 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.

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.”

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

³²When Elisha had come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid on his bed.

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

³³He went in therefore, and shut the door on them both, and prayed to Yahweh.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.”

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

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

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.”

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.

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.

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]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.’”

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

⁴⁴So he set it before them, and they ate, and left some of it, according to the word of Yahweh.
