1Elisha said, “Hear the word of Yahweh. Thus says Yahweh, ‘Tomorrow about this time a measure of fine flour will be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.’”
1 Iliyasu mo ne: «Wa maa Rabbi sanno: Suba mãsancine i ga hamni baano muudu fo neera sekel fo me, sayir muudu hinka mo sekel fo me, Samariya kwaara meyo gaa.»
1And Elisha said, Hear ye the word of Jehovah: thus saith Jehovah, To-morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be [sold] for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.
2Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, “Behold, if Yahweh made windows in heaven, could this thing be?” He said, “Behold, you shall see it with your eyes, but shall not eat of it.”
2 Amma sooja kaŋ bonkoono ga jeeri a kamba gaa tu Irikoy bora se ka ne: «Haba? Baa day Rabbi ga funeyaŋ te beena ra, hayey din ga te no?» Iliyasu ne: «Ni ga di a da ni mo, amma ni si ŋwa a gaa.»
2Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if Jehovah should make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
3Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate. They said one to another, “Why do we sit here until we die?
3 Boro taaci mo go no, jirayyaŋ, Samariya kwaara meyo gaa. I ne ngey da cara se: «Ifo se no iri go ga goro ne hal iri ma bu?
3Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?
4If we say, ‘We will enter into the city,’ then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there. If we sit still here, we also die. Now therefore come, and let us surrender to the army of the Syrians. If they save us alive, we will live; and if they kill us, we will only die.”
4 D'iri ne iri ga furo kwaara ra, haray go kwaara ra, iri ga bu noodin. Da mo iri n'iri goray te neewo iri ga bu hala hõ. Yaadin gaa iri ma koy ka furo Suriyancey wongu jama ra. D'i n'iri naŋ da fundi, iri funa nooya. D'i na iri wi mo, buuyaŋ hinne day no.»
4If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there; and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.
5They rose up in the twilight, to go to the camp of the Syrians. When they had come to the outermost part of the camp of the Syrians, behold, there was no man there.
5 I tun mo za kuba mana furo zama ngey ma koy Suriyancey gata ra. Alwaato kaŋ i kaa Suriyancey gata bananta ra, a go, boro kulu si noodin.
5And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians; and when they were come to the outermost part of the camp of the Syrians, behold, there was no man there.
6For the Lord The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” had made the army of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great army: and they said one to another, Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come on us.
6 Zama Koy Beero naŋ Suriyancey ma maa torko jama da bariyaŋ, danga wongu marga bambata yoojeyaŋ. I ne ngey da cara se: «Guna, Israyla bonkoono na zinga te nda Hittancey bonkooney da Misira bonkooney, i ma kaa ka kaŋ iri boŋ da wongu.»
6For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.
7Therefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their donkeys, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
7 Woodin sabbay se no i tun za kuba mana furo, ka ngey kuuru-fuwey, da ngey bariyey, da ngey farkayey, da zumbuyaŋo do kulu naŋ yaadin. I zuru zama ngey ma yana nda ngey fundey.
7Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
8When these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drink, and carried there silver, and gold, and clothing, and went and hid it. Then they came back, and entered into another tent, and carried there also, and went and hid it.
8 Alwaato kaŋ jirayey din mo to hala gata me, i furo wongu kuuru-fu fo ra, i ŋwa ka haŋ. I na nzarfu nda wura nda bankaarayyaŋ sambu a ra ka kond'ey ka tugu. I ye ka kaa ka furo wongu kuuru-fu fo ra. I sambu a ra ka koy tugu.
8And when these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and they came back, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it.
9Then they said one to another, “We aren’t doing right. This day is a day of good news, and we keep silent. If we wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come, let us go and tell the king’s household.”
9 Saaya din gaa i ne ngey da cara se: «Iri mana booriyandi. Hunkuna wo baaru hanno hane no. Iri mo n'iri me daabu. D'iri gay hala mo ma bo, alhakku g'iri ŋwa. Sohõ binde, iri ma koy ka ci bonkoono nda kwaara borey se.»
9Then they said one to another, We do not well; this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, punishment will overtake us; now therefore come, let us go and tell the king's household.
10So they came and called to the porter of the city; and they told them, saying, “We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but the horses tied, and the donkeys tied, and the tents as they were.”
10 I kaa mo ka kwaara me batukoy ce. I ci i se ka ne: «Iri koy Suriyancey gata do. Iri gar boro kulu si noodin mo, wala boro jinde, kala bariyey ngey kangayey gaa da farkayey tafarante yaŋ, da kuuru-fuwey mo yaadin.»
10So they came and called unto the porter of the city; and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but the horses tied, and the asses tied, and the tents as they were.
11He called the porters; and they told it to the king’s household within.
11 Kala batukoy kuuwa ka ci bonkoono windi borey se.
11And he called the porters; and they told it to the king's household within.
12The king arose in the night, and said to his servants, “I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry. Therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, ‘When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and get into the city.’”
12 Bonkoono mo tun cino ra ka ne nga bannyey se: «Ay g'araŋ cabe sohõ haŋ kaŋ no Suriyancey te iri se. I bay kaŋ iri goono ga maa haray. Woodin sabbay se no i fun gata banda zama ngey ma tugu ganjo ra. I goono ga ne: ‹Alwaato kaŋ i fun kwaara ra, iri m'i di da fundi, iri ma furo kwaara ra.› »
12And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry; therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and get into the city.
13One of his servants answered, “Please let some take five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are left in it. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are consumed. Let us send and see.”
13 Kal a bannya fo tu ka ne: «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma naŋ boro fooyaŋ ma sambu igu bariyey kaŋ cindi ra, wo kaŋ yaŋ go kwaara ra jina, (d'i funa, ngey nda Israyla jama care banda, d'i halaci mo, ngey nda Israyla jama kulu care banda). Iri ma donton ka di.»
13And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it; behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are consumed); and let us send and see.
14They took therefore two chariots with horses; and the king sent after the army of the Syrians, saying, “Go and see.”
14 I sambu torko hinka mo ngey banda, da bariyey. Bonkoono binde donton i ma Suriyancey marga gana. A ne: «Wa koy ka guna.»
14They took therefore two chariots with horses; and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.
15They went after them to the Jordan; and behold, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. The messengers returned, and told the king.
15 I n'i gana kala Urdun me. A go mo, nangu kulu fonda ra a to da bankaaray da taasa yaŋ, kaŋ yaŋ Suriyancey furu i gartyaŋo se. Diyey mo bare ka koy ci bonkoono se.
15And they went after them unto the Jordan: and, lo, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king.
16The people went out, and plundered the camp of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of Yahweh.
16 Jama mo fatta ka Suriyancey gata hamay-hamay. Yaadin mo no a ciya i na muudu fo hamni baano neera sekel fo me, da sayir muudu hinka sekel fo me, Rabbi sanno boŋ.
16And the people went out, and plundered the camp of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was [sold] for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of Jehovah.
17The king appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to be in charge of the gate: and the people trod on him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.
17 Bonkoono mo na sooja kaŋ kambe gaa a ga jeeri daŋ a ma kwaara meyo batu. Jama mo n'a taamu-taamu kwaara meyo gaa. A bu, mate kaŋ Irikoy bora ci, nga kaŋ na sanno te alwaato kaŋ bonkoono zumbu ka kaa a do.
17And the king appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spake when the king came down to him.
18It happened, as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, “Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria”;
18 Sanda mate kaŋ cine Irikoy bora ci bonkoono se, kaŋ a ne: «Muudu hinka sayir, sekel fo me; muudu fo hamni baano mo, sekel fo me. Yaadin no a ga ciya suba mãsancine Samariya meyo gaa.» Haya te mo.
18And it came to pass, as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to-morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria;
19and that captain answered the man of God, and said, “Now, behold, if Yahweh should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be?” and he said, “Behold, you shall see it with your eyes, but shall not eat of it.”
19 Sooja din mo tu Irikoy bora se ka ne: «Sohõ guna, baa day i ne Rabbi ga funeyaŋ te beena ra, hari woodin dumi ga te no?» Irikoy bora ne: «Guna, ni ga di a da ni moy, amma ni s'a ŋwa.»
19and that captain answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if Jehovah should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? and he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof:
20It happened like that to him; for the people trod on him in the gate, and he died.
20 Yaadin mo no ka te a gaa, zama borey n'a taamu-taamu kwaara meyo gaa kal a bu.
20it came to pass even so unto him; for the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died.
