1The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “See now, the place where we dwell before you is too small for us.
1 Annabey izey ne Iliyasu se: «A go sohõ, naŋ kaŋ iri go ga goro ni jine wo, nango kankam iri se.
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!”
2 Iri ga ni ŋwaaray mo, naŋ iri ma koy Urdun. Iri afo kulu mo ma sambu dubi, iri ma te iri boŋ se goray nangu noodin.» A tu ka ne: «Wa koy.»
3One said, “Please be pleased to go with your servants.” He answered, “I will go.”
3 Kal afo ne a se: «Ni ma suuru, ay ga ni ŋwaaray. Ni ma kaa, ni ma yadda ka koy iri, ni bannyey banda.» A tu ka ne: «Ay ga koy.»
4So he went with them. When they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.
4 A koy mo i banda. Kaŋ i to Urdun, kal i soobay ka tuuriyaŋ beeri.
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.”
5 Amma alwaato kaŋ boro fo go ga dubi beeri, a dees'izo kaŋ hari ra. A ce ka ne: «Kaari, ay jine bora! zama a ciya hiyaŋ hari no.»
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.
6 Irikoy bora ne: «Man no a kaŋ?» A n'a cabe nango. A na sar'ize beeri k'a jindaw nango do ka naŋ guuro ma tun ka doy.
7He said, “Take it.” So he put out his hand and took it.
7 A ne a se: «Di.» A n'a kambe salle k'a ta.
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.”
8 Kala Suriya bonkoono go ga wongu nda Israyla. A saaware mo nda nga bannyey. A ne: «Nangu filaana no iri ga gata sinji.»
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.”
9 Kala Irikoy bora donton Israyla bonkoono gaa ka ne: «Ma faham ka bay. Ma si bisa nangu filaana, zama Suriyancey go ga zumbu noodin.»
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.
10 Kala Israyla bonkoono mo donton nango kaŋ Irikoy bora ciinay a se, a kaseeti a gaa mo. A yana mo, manti ce fo wala ce hinka bo.
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?”
11 Kala Suriya bonkoono bine sara gumo. Woodin sabbay se no a na nga bannyey ce ka ne i se: «W'ay cabe boro kulu kaŋ no iri game ra kaŋ go Israyla bonkoono do haray.»
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.”
12 A bannyey ra afo mo ne: «Abada, ya ay Koyo, bonkoono. Iliyasu no, annabo din kaŋ go Israyla ra. Nga no ga sanney kaŋ ni ga ci ni kaniyaŋ fuwo ra ci Israyla bonkoono se.»
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.”
13 Bonkoono ne a se: «Ni ma koy ka guna naŋ kaŋ a go, zama ya donton k'a di ka kand'a.» A ci a se ka ne: «Nga nooya Dotan ra.»
14Therefore he sent horses, chariots, and a great army there. They came by night, and surrounded the city.
14 Woodin sabbay se no a na bariyaŋ, da torkoyaŋ, da sata bambata donton noodin. I to noodin cin. I na kwaara windi.
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?”
15 Alwaato kaŋ Irikoy bora zanka tun za susubay da hinay, a fatta. Kala sata nda torkey da bariyey go, i na kwaara windi. Kala zanka ne: «Kaari, ay windikoyo! Mate no iri ga te?»
16He answered, “Don’t be afraid; for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
16 Irikoy bora tu ka ne a se: «Ma si humburu, zama ngey kaŋ yaŋ go iri banda bisa ngey kaŋ yaŋ go i do haray baayaŋ.»
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.
17 Iliyasu te adduwa ka ne: «Ya Rabbi, ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma arwaso wo moy fiti zama a ma di.» Rabbi mo na arwaso moy fiti hal a di. Guna mo, tudo ga to nda bari nda torko yaŋ, danji wane yaŋ, Iliyasu windanta.
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.
18 Alwaato kaŋ Suriyancey zumbu a do, Iliyasu na Rabbi ŋwaaray ka ne: «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma jama wo kar da danawtaray.» A n'i kar mo nda danawtaray Iliyasu sanno boŋ.
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.
19 Iliyasu mo ne i se: «Neewo, manti nga no ga ti fonda bo! Neewo, manti nga no ga ti kwaara mo. W'ay gana, ay mo ya konda araŋ bora kaŋ araŋ go ga ceeci do.» Kal a kond'ey Samariya.
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.
20 I go no, alwaato kaŋ i furo Samariya ra, Iliyasu ne: «Ya Rabbi, ma borey wo moy fiti i ma du ka di.» Rabbi mo n'i moy fiti hal i di. A go mo, i go Samariya bindo ra.
21The king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, “My father, shall I strike them? Shall I strike them?”
21 Alwaato kaŋ Israyla bonkoono di ey a ne Iliyasu se: «Ay baaba, ay m'i kar no? Y'i kar no?»
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.”
22 Iliyasu tu ka ne a se: «Ni ma s'i kar bo. E! Ni ga borey kaŋ yaŋ ni di da takuba nda ni biraw kar no? Kala ni ma buuru nda hari daŋ i jine, i ma ŋwa ka haŋ, i ma ngey diraw te ka koy ngey koyo do.»
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.
23 Kal a na ŋwaari boobo soola i se. Alwaato kaŋ i ŋwa ka haŋ, a n'i sallama. I koy ngey koyo do. Suriya soojey mo mana ye ka ye Israyla laabo ra koyne.
24It happened after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria.
24 A ciya mo, woodin banda, Suriya bonkoono Ben-Hadad na nga jama kulu margu ka kaaru ka Samariya kwaara batandi.
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.
25 Haray bambata te Samariya ra mo. A go, i n'a windi nda wongu hal i na farka boŋ malku fo neera nzarfu wahakku me, muudu fo farsi taacante koloŋay birji mo nzarfu gu me.
26As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, saying, “Help, my lord, O king!”
26 Israyla bonkoono binde go ga bisa birni cinaro boŋ, kala wayboro fo n'a ce ka ne a se: «Ya Koyo, ay bonkoono, kaa k'ay gaa!»
27He said, “If Yahweh doesn’t help you, from where could I help you? From of the threshing floor, or from the winepress?”
27 Kal a tu ka ne: «Da Rabbi mana ni gaakasinay, mate no ay ga te ka ni gaakasinay d'a? Safayaŋ nango ra, wala mo reyzin* kankamyaŋ nango ra?»
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 Bonkoono ne a se mo: «Ifo ka du nin?» A ne: «Wayboro wo no ka ne ay se: ‹Ma ni izo no iri m'a ŋwa hunkuna, suba mo iri m'ay izo ŋwa.›
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.”
29 Iri n'ay izo hina ka ŋwa. A wane suba ay ne a se: ‹Ma ni izo no, iri m'a ŋwa.› Amma a na nga izo tugu.»
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.
30 A ciya mo, waato kaŋ bonkoono maa waybora din sanno, a na nga kwaayo tooru (a goono ga bisa birni cinaro boŋ) kala borey di, wiiza, a gonda bufu nga kuuro gaa haray.
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.”
31 Alwaato din a ne: «Irikoy m'ay laali d'ay na Iliyasu, Safat izo boŋo naŋ a jinda gaa hunkuna!»
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?”
32 Amma Iliyasu goono ga goro nga windo ra, arkusey mo goono ga goro a banda. Bonkoono mo na boro fo donton nga jine. Amma hala diya ga to ka kaa, Iliyasu ne arkusey se: «Araŋ di mate kaŋ boro-wi izo wo donton i m'ay boŋo dagu? Guna, da diya kaa, kal araŋ ma windi meyo daabu, araŋ m'a gaay nda gaabi yooje si. Manti a jine bora ce yoojeyaŋ no ay go ga maa a banda wo?»
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?”
33 Za a go sanno ra i se, kala diya zumbu ka kaa a do. Bonkoono ne: «Guna, masiiba wo, Rabbi do no a fun. Ifo no ga naŋ ya ye ka Rabbi batu.»
