1The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “See now, the place where we dwell before you is too small for us.
1Saß jun li cutan li jun chßûtal chi profeta queßxye re laj Eliseo: —¡Qßue retal! Li naßajej li cuanco cuiß âcuochben caßchßin ut latzß.
2Please let us go to the Jordan, and every man take a beam from there, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell.” He answered, “Go!”
2Qßue kalesêns chi xic cuan cuiß li nimaß Jordán re nak chikajûnkal takatßan jûnkak kacheß ut takayîb jun li naßajej re tocuânk cuiß, chanqueb. Ut laj Eliseo quixye: —Naru nequexxic, chan.
3One said, “Please be pleased to go with your servants.” He answered, “I will go.”
3Jun reheb quixtzßâma chiru nak tâxic rochbeneb. Quixcßul xchßôl laj Eliseo nak tâxic.
4So he went with them. When they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.
4Joßcan nak li profeta Eliseo cô chirixeb. Nak queßcuulac cuan cuiß li nimaß Jordán, queßoc chixyocßbal li cheß.
5But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water. Then he cried, and said, “Alas, my master! For it was borrowed.”
5Nak yô chixtßanbal jun li cheß jun li cuînk, quitobeß lix mâl ut quitßaneß saß li haß. Li cuînk quixjap re ut quixye: —At tzolonel, li mâl aßan xintoßoni. Moco cue ta, chan.
6The man of God asked, “Where did it fall?” He showed him the place. He cut down a stick, threw it in there, and made the iron float.
6Li profeta Eliseo quixye re: —¿Bar xtßaneß châcuu? chan. Li cuînk quixcßut chiru bar quitßaneß cuiß li mâl. Li profeta quixyocß jun li rukß cheß, ut quixcut saß li nimaß. Ut li mâl quitakeß chak saß xbên haß.
7He said, “Take it.” So he put out his hand and took it.
7Ut laj Eliseo quixye re li cuînk: —Chap chak lâ mâl, chan. Ut li cuînk quixchap chak lix mâl.
8Now the king of Syria was warring against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, “My camp will be in such and such a place.”
8Lix reyeb laj Siria yô chi pletic riqßuineb laj Israel. Quixchßutub ruheb lix soldados ut quixye reheb li nequeßtaklan saß xbêneb bar teßxyîb lix muhebâleb li soldado.
9The man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, “Beware that you not pass such a place; for the Syrians are coming down there.”
9Abanan lix profeta li Dios quixtakla xyebal re lix reyeb laj Israel nak incßaß teßnumekß saß li naßajej aßan xban nak yôqueb chi xic aran li soldado aj Siria re teßpletik riqßuineb laj Israel.
10The king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he saved himself there, not once nor twice.
10Li rey re Israel quixtaklaheb lix takl saß li naßajej li quixye li profeta li cuanqueb cuiß chi ramoc laj Siria. Quixye reheb nak teßxbânu cuênt. Joßcaßin nak queßxcol ribeb nabal sut chiruheb li soldado aj Siria.
11The heart of the king of Syria was very troubled about this. He called his servants, and said to them, “Won’t you show me which of us is for the king of Israel?”
11Cßajoß nak qui-oc xcßaßux lix reyeb laj Siria. Ut quixbokeb riqßuin chixjunil li nequeßtaklan saß xbêneb lix soldado ut quixye reheb: —¿Ani êre lâex yô chi oquênc chirix lix reyeb laj Israel? chan.
12One of his servants said, “No, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom.”
12Jun saß xyânkeb quixye re: —At rey, mâ jun ke yô chi oquênc chirix li rey aßan. Aran cuan li profeta Eliseo ut aßan naxye re li rey chixjunil li nacacßûb ru, usta nayeman chi mukmu saß lâ cuaribâl, chan.
13He said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send and get him.” It was told him, saying, “Behold, he is in Dothan.”
13Lix reyeb laj Siria quixye reheb: —Patzßomak bar cuan li profeta aßan re nak târûk tintakla xchapbal, chan. Ut queßxye re nak li profeta cuan aran Dotán.
14Therefore he sent horses, chariots, and a great army there. They came by night, and surrounded the city.
14Joßcan nak lix reyeb laj Siria quixtaklaheb lix soldado li nequeßxic chirix cacuây, joß eb ajcuiß li nequeßxic saß carruaje ut eb li nequeßxic chi rokeb. Queßcôeb chiru kßojyîn ut queßxsut li tenamit Dotán.
15When the servant of the man of God had risen early, and gone out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was around the city. His servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?”
15Cuulajak chic nak toj ekßela, lix môs lix profeta li Dios quicuacli ut cô chirix cab. Quixqßue retal nak sutsu li tenamit xbaneb li soldado aj Siria. Quirileb lix cacuâyeb ut lix carruaje. Cô saß cab ut quixye re laj Eliseo: —At Kâcuaß, ¿cßaßru takabânu? Osocß ke.—
16He answered, “Don’t be afraid; for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
16Lix profeta li Dios quixye re: —Matxucuac. Kßaxal nabal li teßoquênk chikix lâo chiru li teßoquênk chirix eb aßan, chan.
17Elisha prayed, and said, “Yahweh, please open his eyes, that he may see.” Yahweh opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha.
17Chirix aßan li profeta quitijoc ut quixye: —At Kâcuaß, at inDios, chaqßue taxak chiril lâ cuanquilal, chan. Ut li Dios quixsume lix tij. Nak qui-iloc saß li tzûl li môs, quiril nabaleb li cuanqueb chirix cacuây re xam. Ut quiril ajcuiß nabaleb li carruaje re xam. Sutsu li naßajej cuan cuiß laj Eliseo xbaneb.
18When they came down to him, Elisha prayed to Yahweh, and said, “Please strike this people with blindness.” He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
18Nak ac oqueb re laj Siria chi pletic saß li tenamit Dotán, li profeta quitijoc ut quixye: —At Kâcuaß, at inDios, cheßmutzßokß ta li xnakß ruheb laj Siria, chan. Ut li Kâcuaß quixsume lix tij ut quixqßueheb chi mutzßocß lix nakßeb ru ut incßaß chic queßiloc.
19Elisha said to them, “This is not the way, neither is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek.” He led them to Samaria.
19Nak incßaß chic queßiloc, li profeta cô riqßuineb ut quixye: —Mâcuaß aßin li be li yôquex chi xic cuiß, chi moco aßin li tenamit li yôquex chixsicßbal. Chinêtâke. Lâin tincßamok be chêru re nak têtau li cuînk li yôquex chixsicßbal, chan. Ut li profeta quixcßameb saß li tenamit Samaria.
20It happened, when they had come into Samaria, that Elisha said, “Yahweh, open the eyes of these men, that they may see.” Yahweh opened their eyes, and they saw; and behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
20Nak acak xeßoc saß li tenamit Samaria, laj Eliseo quixye re li Dios: —At Kâcuaß, cheßilok ta cuißchic lix nakß ru eb li cuînk aßin, chan. Ut li Kâcuaß quixqßueheb cuißchic chi iloc. Ut queßxqßue retal nak cuanqueb saß li tenamit Samaria.
21The king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, “My father, shall I strike them? Shall I strike them?”
21Ut lix reyeb laj Israel quirileb laj Siria. Quixye re laj Eliseo: —At Kâcuaß, ¿ma tintakla xcamsinquileb? chan.
22He answered, “You shall not strike them. Would you strike those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.”
22Quichakßoc li profeta ut quixye: —Incßaß tâcamsiheb. ¿Ma nacacamsiheb ta biß li nequeßchapeß chak nak nequexxic chi pletic riqßuin lê chßîchß ut lê tzimaj? Chaqßueheb ban xcua rucßaheb ut tâcanabeb chi sukßîc riqßuin lix reyeb, chan.
23He prepared great feast for them. When they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. The bands of Syria stopped raiding the land of Israel.
23Joßcan nak lix reyeb laj Israel quixtakla xyîbanquil li châbil tzacaêmk chokß reheb. Queßcuaßac ut queßucßac. Chirix chic aßan li rey quixtaklaheb cuißchic riqßuin li rey aran Siria. Ut li rey aßan incßaß chic quixtaklaheb lix soldado chixchßißchßißinquileb laj Israel saß lix naßajeb.
24It happened after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria.
24Mokon chic laj Ben-adad, lix reyeb laj Siria, quixchßutubeb chixjunileb lix soldados. Queßcôeb chixsutbal li tenamit Samaria re teßoc chi pletic riqßuineb.
25There was a great famine in Samaria. Behold, they besieged it, until a donkey’s head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove’s dung for five pieces of silver.
25Ut xban nak sutsu li tenamit qui-osoß lix tzacaêmkeb saß chixjunil li tenamit. Queßxterkßusi xtzßak chixjunil toj retal queßxcßayi xjolom li bûr chi câcßâl chi tumin plata. Ut ôb chi tumin plata xtzßak li mero libra li pim, li “xcßot mucuy” xcßabaß.
26As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, saying, “Help, my lord, O king!”
26Saß jun li cutan lix reyeb laj Israel yô chi numecß saß xbên li tzßac li sutsu cuiß li tenamit. Jun li ixk quixjap re ut quixye: —At rey, chinâtenkßa.
27He said, “If Yahweh doesn’t help you, from where could I help you? From of the threshing floor, or from the winepress?”
27Li rey quixye re: —Cui li Kâcuaß Dios incßaß nacatxtenkßa, ¿chanru nak tatintenkßa lâin? ¿Ma cuan ta biß intrigo ut invino re tinsi âcue?
28The king said to her, “What ails you?” She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’
28¿Cßaßru xacßul? chan li rey. Li ixk quixye re: —At rey, li ixk aßin quixye cue, “Kacamsihak lâ cßulaßal re takatiu. Ut cuulaj takacamsi lin cßulaßal lâin” chan cue.
29So we boiled my son, and ate him: and I said to her on the next day, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him;’ and she has hidden her son.”
29Takachik lin cßulaßal ut takatiu. Anakcuan lâin xinye re nak takacamsi li re aßan joß xye cue. Abanan li ixk incßaß naraj xqßuebal. Xmuk ban chiku, chan.
30It happened, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he tore his clothes (now he was passing by on the wall); and the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth underneath on his flesh.
30Quisach xchßôl li rey nak quirabi li cßaßru quixye. Quixpej li rakß ut yô chi bêc saß xbên li tzßac. Ut eb li tenamit li cuanqueb chi nachß queßril nak kßes ru tßicr li cuan chi saß li rakß.
31Then he said, “God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stay on him this day.”
31Li rey quixye: —Aß taxak li Kâcuaß chicamsînk cue cui chiru ajcuiß a cutan aßin incßaß tintakla xsetbal lix cux laj Eliseo li ralal laj Safat.—
32But Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. Then the king sent a man from before him; but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, “Do you see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? Behold, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold the door shut against him. Isn’t the sound of his master’s feet behind him?”
32Li rey quixtakla lix takl chixcßambal laj Eliseo. Laj Eliseo chunchu saß rochoch rochbeneb laj cßamol be. Toj mâjiß ajcuiß nacuulac lix takl li rey nak laj Eliseo quixye reheb li cuînk: —Laj camsinel xtakla chak lix takl chixsetbal lin cux. Nak tâcßulûnk têtzßap li puerta chiru ut mêrocsi.

33While he was still talking with them, behold, the messenger came down to him. Then he said, “Behold, this evil is from Yahweh. Why should I wait for Yahweh any longer?”
33Toj yô ajcuiß chi âtinac li profeta Eliseo nak lix takl li rey quicuulac riqßuin ut quixye re: —Relic chi yâl li Kâcuaß Dios xtakla li raylal aßin saß kabên. ¿Cßaß aj e nak tincuoybeni re nak li Kâcuaß toxtenkßa? chan.
