¹The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “See now, the place where we dwell before you is too small for us.

¹Oo qoonkii nebiyada ahaana waxay Eliishaa ku yidhaahdeen, Bal eeg, meesha hortaada ah ee aannu deggan nahay waa nagu cidhiidhi.

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!”

²Haddaba waannu ku baryaynaaye aannu tagno xagga Urdun oo halkaas nin waluba dogob ha ka qaado, oo aannu halkaas ka dhisanno meel aan degno. Oo isna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Orda oo taga.

³One said, “Please be pleased to go with your servants.” He answered, “I will go.”

³Oo midba wuxuu yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye raalli ahow oo na raac annagoo addoommadaada ah. Oo isna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Waan idin raacayaa.

⁴So he went with them. When they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.

⁴Sidaas daraaddeed wuu raacay. Oo iyana markay Urdun yimaadeen ayay geedo jareen.

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.”

⁵Laakiinse midba intuu qori jarayay ayaa faaskii intii birta ahayd biyihii ku dhex dhacday, oo isna intuu qayliyey ayuu yidhi, Sayidkaygiiyow, hoogay! Waayo, deyn buu igu ahaa.

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.

⁶Markaasaa ninkii Ilaah wuxuu yidhi, War xaggee bay ku dhacday? Oo isna markaasuu meeshii tusay. Markaasuu ul soo goostay oo meeshii ku riday, birtiina waa soo dabaalatay.

⁷He said, “Take it.” So he put out his hand and took it.

⁷Wuxuuna yidhi, War haddaba soo qaado. Sidaas daraaddeed gacantii buu fidiyey oo soo qaatay.

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.”

⁸Haddaba boqorkii Suuriya wuxuu la diriray dadkii Israa'iil, oo intuu addoommadiisii la tashaday ayuu ku yidhi, Meesha saa iyo saa ah ayaa xeradaydu ahaan doonta.

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.”

⁹Markaasaa ninkii Ilaah u cid diray boqorkii dalka Israa'iil oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War iska jir oo ha soo marin meesha saas ah, waayo, reer Suuriya meeshaasay ku dhaadhacayaan.

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.

¹⁰Oo boqorkii dalka Israa'iilna cid buu u diray meeshii ninkii Ilaah isaga u sheegay oo uu uga digay, oo isna intuu halkaas iska nabadgeliyey mar iyo laba toona ma aha.

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?”

¹¹Oo boqorkii Suuriyana qalbigiisu waxyaalahan aad buu uga welwelsanaa; oo wuxuu isugu yeedhay addoommadiisii, oo ku yidhi, War maad ii sheegtaan midkeenna la jira boqorkii dalka Israa'iil?

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.”

¹²Markaasaa mid addoommadiisii ka mid ahu wuxuu ku yidhi, Boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, saas ma aha; laakiinse Eliishaa oo ah nebi dalka Israa'iil dhex jooga ayaa boqorka dadka Israa'iil u sheega erayada aad kaga hadasho qolkaaga aad seexato.

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.”

¹³Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Tag oo soo arag meeshuu joogo si aan isaga ugu cid diro ha la soo qabtee. Oo waxaa loo sheegay oo lagu yidhi, War wuxuu joogaa Dotaan.

¹⁴Therefore he sent horses, chariots, and a great army there. They came by night, and surrounded the city.

¹⁴Sidaas daraaddeed wuxuu halkaas u diray fardo, iyo gaadhifardood, iyo ciidan faro badan; oo iyana intay habeennimo yimaadeen ayay magaaladii hareereeyeen.

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?”

¹⁵Oo ninkii Ilaah shaqeeyihiisii markuu aroortii soo toosay oo uu baxay, bal eeg, waxaa la arkay ciidan fardo iyo gaadhifardood wata oo magaaladii ku wareegsan. Markaasaa midiidinkiisii wuxuu isagii ku yidhi, Sayidow, hoogaye! sidee baynu yeeli doonnaa?

¹⁶He answered, “Don’t be afraid; for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”

¹⁶Oo isna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Ha cabsan, waayo, kuwa inala jiraa way ka sii badan yihiin kuwa iyaga la jira.

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.

¹⁷Markaasaa Eliishaa baryootamay oo yidhi, Rabbiyow, waxaan kaa baryayaa inaad ninkan indhaha u furtid wax ha arkee. Markaasaa Rabbigu ninkii dhallinyarada ahaa indhihii u furay, wax buuna arkay; oo wuxuu u jeeday fardo iyo gaadhifardood dab ah oo buurta ka buuxa ee Eliishaa ku wareegsan.

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.

¹⁸Oo iyana markay isagii u soo dhaadhaceen ayaa Eliishaa Rabbiga baryay oo yidhi, Rabbiyow, waxaan kaa baryayaa inaad dadkan indhabbeel ku riddid. Oo isna indhabbeel ayuu ugu riday sidii eraygii Eliishaa u ahaa.

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.

¹⁹Markaasaa Eliishaa wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, War jidkanu ma aha jidkii, magaaladanuna ma aha magaaladii. Haddaba i soo raaca oo waxaan idin geeynayaa ninkaad doonaysaan. Oo isna wuxuu u hor kacay xagga Samaariya.

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.

²⁰Oo markay Samaariya soo galeen ayaa Eliishaa yidhi, Rabbiyow, nimankan indhaha u fur, wax ha arkeene. Kolkaasaa Rabbigu indhaha u furay, wax bayna arkeen, oo waxay u jeedeen inay Samaariya dhex joogaan.

²¹The king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, “My father, shall I strike them? Shall I strike them?”

²¹Markaasaa boqorkii dalka Israa'iil wuxuu Eliishaa ku yidhi markuu nimankii arkay, Aabbahayow, miyaan laayaa? Miyaan laayaa?

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.”

²²Oo isna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Mayee, waa inaadan layn. Ma layn lahayd kuwaad ku soo qabsatay seeftaada iyo qaansadaada? Waxaad soo hor dhigtaa kibis iyo biyo ay cunaan oo ay cabbaan, oo dabadeedna ha u tageen sayidkoodii.

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.

²³Markaasuu wuxuu iyagii u diyaariyey cunto badan, oo markay wax cuneen oo wax cabbeen ayuu iska diray, oo sayidkoodii bay u tageen. Oo guutooyinkii reer Suuriyana mar dambe ma soo gelin dalkii Israa'iil.

²⁴It happened after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria.

²⁴Oo taas dabadeed Benhadad oo ahaa boqorkii Suuriya wuxuu soo wada urursaday ciidankiisii oo dhan, oo intuu soo kacay ayuu Samaariya hareereeyey.

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.

²⁵Oo Samaariyana abaar weyn baa ku dhacday, oo bal eeg iyana waxay hareeraha ka joogeen ilaa madax dameer lagu iibiyey siddeetan sheqel oo lacag ah, oo qab rubuciis xaar qoolley ahna lagu iibiyey shan sheqel oo lacag ah.

²⁶As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, saying, “Help, my lord, O king!”

²⁶Oo boqorkii dalka Israa'iil oo derbiga dul maraya ayaa naagu u qayshatay oo ku tidhi, Boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, i caawi.

²⁷He said, “If Yahweh doesn’t help you, from where could I help you? From of the threshing floor, or from the winepress?”

²⁷Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Naa haddii uusan Rabbigu ku caawin, anigu xaggee baan kaa caawinayaa? Naa ma waxaan kaa caawinayaa meesha hadhuudhka lagu tumo; mase meesha canabka lagu tuujiyo?

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.’

²⁸Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu iyadii ku yidhi, Naa maxaa ku helay? Oo iyana waxay ugu jawaabtay, Naagtan waxay igu tidhi, Naa wiilkaaga na sii aan maanta cunnee oo wiilkaygana berri baannu wada cuni doonnaa.

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.”

²⁹Sidaas daraaddeed wiilkaygii waan karsannay oo waannu cunnay; markaasaan maalintii dambe iyadii ku idhi, Naa wiilkaagii na sii aan cunnee; laakiinse iyadu way qarisay wiilkeedii.

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.

³⁰Oo markii boqorkii naagtii hadalkeedii maqlay ayuu dharkiisii dildillaaciyey; (oo markaas wuxuu dul marayay derbiga), oo dadkiina way wada arkayeen inuu jidhkiisii ku guntaday joonyado.

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.”

³¹Oo markaasuu yidhi, Ilaah saas iyo si ka sii daranba ha igu sameeyo, haddii Eliishaa ina Shaafaad madaxiisu maanta ku sii yaallo.

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?”

³²Oo Eliishaana markaas wuxuu dhex fadhiyey gurigiisii, oo odayaashiina way la fadhiyeen; oo boqorkiina nin buu iska soo hor mariyey; laakiinse ninkii wargeeyska ahaa intuusan isagii u iman ayuu Eliishaa odayaashii ku yidhi, War bal eega siduu kan gacankudhiigluhu dhalay cid ugu soo diray in madaxa layga gooyo? War markii wargeeysku yimaado albaabka xidha, oo dib ugu celiya albaabka. War waxa ka dambeeya sow ma aha sanqadhii cagihii sayidkiisa?Oo intuu iyagii weli la hadlayay ayaa wargeeyskii u soo dhaadhacay; oo isna wuxuu yidhi, Belaayadanu xagga Rabbigay ka timid; haddaba maxaan Rabbiga weli u sii sugaa?

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?”

³³Oo intuu iyagii weli la hadlayay ayaa wargeeyskii u soo dhaadhacay; oo isna wuxuu yidhi, Belaayadanu xagga Rabbigay ka timid; haddaba maxaan Rabbiga weli u sii sugaa?
