1ΚΑΙ γυνὴ μία ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν τῶν προφητῶν ἐβόα πρὸς τὸν Ἑλισαιὲ λέγουσα· ὁ δοῦλός σου ἀνήρ μου ἀπέθανε, καὶ σὺ ἔγνως ὅτι δοῦλός σου ἦν φοβούμενος τὸν Κύριον· καὶ ὁ δανειστὴς ἦλθε λαβεῖν τοὺς δύο υἱούς μου ἑαυτῷ εἰς δούλους.
1Now a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead. You know that your servant feared the LORD. Now the creditor has come to take for himself my two children to be slaves.”
2καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιέ· τί ποιήσω σοι; ἀνάγγειλόν μοι τί ἔστι σοι ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ. ἡ δὲ εἶπεν· οὐκ ἔστι τῇ δούλῃ σου οὐδὲν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ, ὅτι ἀλλ᾿ ἢ ὃ ἀλείψομαι ἔλαιον.
2Elisha said to her, “What should I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” She said, “Your servant has nothing in the house, except a pot of oil.”
3καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτήν· δεῦρο αἴτησαι σεαυτῇ σκεύη ἔξωθεν παρὰ πάντων τῶν γειτόνων σκεύη κενά, μὴ ὀλιγώσῃς.
3Then he said, “Go, borrow empty containers from all your neighbors. Don’t borrow just a few containers.
4καὶ εἰσελεύσῃ καὶ ἀποκλείσεις τὴν θύραν κατὰ σοῦ καὶ κατὰ τῶν υἱῶν σου καὶ ἀποχεεῖς εἰς τὰ σκεύη ταῦτα καὶ τὸ πληρωθὲν ἀρεῖς.
4Go in and shut the door on you and on your sons, and pour oil into all those containers; and set aside those which are full.”
5καὶ ἀπῆλθε παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπέκλεισε τὴν θύραν καθ᾿ ἑαυτῆς καὶ κατὰ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτῆς· αὐτοὶ προσήγγιζον πρὸς αὐτήν, καὶ αὐτὴ ἐπέχεεν ἕως ἐπλήσθησαν τὰ σκεύη.
5So she went from him, and shut the door on herself and on her sons. They brought the containers to her, and she poured oil.
6καὶ εἶπε πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῆς· ἐγγίσατε ἔτι πρός με τὸ σκεῦος· καὶ εἶπον αὐτῇ· οὐκ ἔστιν ἔτι σκεῦος· καὶ ἔστη τὸ ἔλαιον.
6When the containers were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another container.” He said to her, “There isn’t another container.” Then the oil stopped flowing.
7καὶ ἦλθε καὶ ἀπήγγειλε τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιέ· δεῦρο καὶ ἀπόδου τὸ ἔλαιον καὶ ἀποτίσεις τοὺς τόκους σου, καὶ σὺ καὶ οἱ υἱοί σου ζήσεσθε ἐν τῷ ἐπιλοίπῳ ἐλαίῳ.
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.”
8καὶ ἐγένετο ἡμέρα καὶ διέβη Ἑλισαιὲ εἰς Σωμάν, καὶ ἐκεῖ γυνὴ μεγάλη καὶ ἐκράτησεν αὐτὸν φαγεῖν ἄρτον. καὶ ἐγένετο ἀφ᾿ ἱκανοῦ τοῦ εἰσπορεύεσθαι αὐτὸν ἐξέκλινε τοῦ ἐκεῖ φαγεῖν.
8One day Elisha went 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.
9καὶ εἶπεν ἡ γυνὴ πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς· ἰδοὺ δὴ ἔγνων ὅτι ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ ἅγιος οὗτος διαπορεύεται ἐφ᾿ ἡμᾶς διὰ παντός.
9She said to her husband, “See now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God who passes by us continually.
10ποιήσωμεν δὴ αὐτῷ ὑπερῷον τόπον μικρὸν καὶ θῶμεν αὐτῷ ἐκεῖ κλίνην καὶ τράπεζαν καὶ δίφρον καὶ λυχνίαν. καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ εἰσπορεύεσθαι πρὸς ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐκκλινεῖ ἐκεῖ.
10Please, let’s make a little room on the roof. Let’s set a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp stand for him there. When he comes to us, he can stay there.”
11καὶ ἐγένετο ἡμέρα καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἐκεῖ καὶ ἐξέκλινεν εἰς τὸ ὑπερῷον καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐκεῖ.
11One day he came there, and he went to the room and lay there.
12καὶ εἶπε πρὸς Γιεζὶ τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ· κάλεσόν μοι τὴν Σωμανῖτιν ταύτην· καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτήν, καὶ ἔστη ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ.
12He said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite.” When he had called her, she stood before him.
13καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· εἰπὸν δὴ πρὸς αὐτήν· ἰδοὺ ἐξέστησας ἡμῖν πᾶσαν τὴν ἔκστασιν ταύτην· τί δεῖ ποιῆσαί σοι; εἰ ἔστι λόγος σοι πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα ἢ πρὸς τὸν ἄρχοντα τῆς δυνάμεως; ἡ δὲ εἶπεν· ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ λαοῦ ἐγώ εἰμι οἰκῶ.
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.”
14καὶ εἶπε πρὸς Γιεζί· τί δεῖ ποιῆσαι αὐτῇ; καὶ εἶπε Γιεζὶ τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ· καὶ μάλα υἱὸς οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτῇ, καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς πρεσβύτης.
14He said, “What then is to be done for her?” Gehazi answered, “Most certainly she has no son, and her husband is old.”
15καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτήν, καὶ ἔστη παρὰ τὴν θύραν.
15He said, “Call her.” When he had called her, she stood in the door.
16καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιὲ πρὸς αὐτήν· εἰς τὸν καιρὸν τοῦτον, ὡς ἡ ὥρα, ζῶσα σὺ περιειληφυῖα υἱόν. ἡ δὲ εἶπε· μὴ Κύριε, μὴ διαψεύσῃ τὴν δούλην σου.
16He said, “At this season next year, you will embrace a son.” She said, “No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your servant.”
17καὶ ἐν γαστρὶ ἔλαβεν ἡ γυνὴ καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱὸν εἰς τὸν καιρὸν τοῦτον, ὡς ἡ ὥρα, ζῶσα, ὡς ἐλάλησε πρὸς αὐτὴν Ἑλισαιέ.
17The woman conceived, and bore a son at that season when the time came around, as Elisha had said to her.
18καὶ ἡδρύνθη τὸ παιδάριον· καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα ἐξῆλθε πρὸς τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ πρὸς τοὺς θερίζοντας,
18When the child was grown, one day he went out to his father to the reapers.
19καὶ εἶπε πρὸς τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ· τὴν κεφαλήν μου, τὴν κεφαλήν μου· καὶ εἶπε τῷ παιδαρίῳ· ἆρον αὐτὸν πρὸς τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ.
19He said to his father, “My head! My head!” He said to his servant, “Carry him to his mother.”
20καὶ ᾖρεν αὐτὸν πρὸς τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐπὶ τῶν γονάτων αὐτῆς ἕως μεσημβρίας καὶ ἀπέθανε.
20When he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees until noon, and then died.
21καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐκοίμισεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὴν κλίνην τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ἀπέκλεισε κατ᾿ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξῆλθε.
21She went up and laid him on the man of God’s bed, and shut the door on him, and went out.
22καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπεν· ἀπόστειλον δή μοι ἓν τῶν παιδαρίων καὶ μίαν τῶν ὄνων, καὶ δραμοῦμαι ἕως τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ἐπιστρέψω.
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.”
23καὶ εἶπε· τί ὅτι σὺ πορεύῃ πρὸς αὐτὸν σήμερον; οὐ νεομηνία οὐδὲ σάββατον. ἡ δὲ εἶπεν· εἰρήνη.
23He said, “Why would you want to go to him today? It is not a new moon or a Sabbath.” She said, “It’s all right.”
24καὶ ἐπέσαξε τὴν ὄνον καὶ εἶπε πρὸς τὸ παιδάριον αὐτῆς· ἄγε πορεύου, μὴ ἐπίσχῃς μοι τοῦ ἐπιβῆναι, ὅτι ἐὰν εἴπω σοι· δεῦρο καὶ πορεύσῃ καὶ ἐλεύσῃ πρὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰς ὄρος τὸ Καρμήλιον.
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.”
25καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἦλθεν ἕως τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰς τὸ ὄρος. καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἶδεν Ἑλισαιὲ ἐρχομένην αὐτήν, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς Γιεζὶ τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ· ἰδοὺ δὴ ἡ Σωμανῖτις ἐκείνη·
25So she went, and came to the man of God to Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her afar off, he said to Gehazi his servant, “Behold, there is the Shunammite.
26νῦν δράμε εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτῆς καὶ ἐρεῖς· εἰ εἰρήνη σοι; εἰ εἰρήνη τῷ ἀνδρί σου; εἰ εἰρήνη τῷ παιδαρίῳ; ἡ δὲ εἶπεν· εἰρήνη.
26Please run now to meet her, and ask her, ‘Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with your child?’” She answered, “It is well.”
27καὶ ἦλθε πρὸς Ἑλισαιὲ εἰς τὸ ὄρος καὶ ἐπελάβετο τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἤγγισε Γιεζὶ ἀπώσασθαι αὐτήν, καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιέ· ἄφες αὐτήν, ὅτι ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτῆς κατώδυνος αὐτῇ, καὶ Κύριος ἀπέκρυψεν ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἀνήγγειλέ μοι.
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 the LORD has hidden it from me, and has not told me.”
28ἡ δὲ εἶπε· μὴ ᾐτησάμην υἱὸν παρὰ τοῦ Κυρίου μου; ὅτι οὐκ εἶπα· οὐ πλανήσεις μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ;
28Then she said, “Did I ask you for a son, my lord? Didn’t I say, ‘Do not deceive me’?”
29καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιὲ τῷ Γιεζί· ζῶσαι τὴν ὀσφύν σου καὶ λαβὲ τὴν βακτηρίαν μου ἐν τῇ χειρί σου καὶ δεῦρο· ὅτι ἐὰν εὕρῃς ἄνδρα, οὐκ εὐλογήσεις αὐτόν, καὶ ἐὰν εὐλογήσῃ σε ἀνήρ, οὐκ ἀποκριθήσῃ αὐτῷ· καὶ ἐπιθήσεις τὴν βακτηρίαν μου ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ παιδαρίου.
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 child’s face.”
30καὶ εἶπεν ἡ μήτηρ τοῦ παιδαρίου· ζῇ Κύριος καὶ ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου, εἰ ἐγκαταλείψω σε· καὶ ἀνέστη Ἑλισαιὲ καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὀπίσω αὐτῆς.
30The child’s mother said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” So he arose, and followed her.
31καὶ Γιεζὶ διῆλθεν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπέθηκε τὴν βακτηρίαν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ παιδαρίου, καὶ οὐκ ἦν φωνὴ καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἀκρόασις· καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῷ λέγων· οὐκ ἠγέρθη τὸ παιδάριον.
31Gehazi went ahead of them, and laid the staff on the child’s face; but there was no voice and no hearing. Therefore he returned to meet him, and told him, “The child has not awakened.”
32καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἑλισαιὲ εἰς τὸν οἶκον καὶ ἰδοὺ τὸ παιδάριον τεθνηκὸς κεκοιμισμένον ἐπὶ τὴν κλίνην αὐτοῦ.
32When Elisha had come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and lying on his bed.
33καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἑλισαιὲ εἰς τὸν οἶκον καὶ ἀπέκλεισε τὴν θύραν κατὰ τῶν δύο ἑαυτῶν καὶ προσηύξατο πρὸς Κύριον·
33He went in therefore, and shut the door on them both, and prayed to the LORD.
34καὶ ἀνέβη καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐπὶ τὸ παιδάριον καὶ ἔθηκε τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ καὶ διέκαμψεν ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν, καὶ διεθερμάνθη ἡ σάρξ τοῦ παιδαρίου.
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 child’s flesh grew warm.
35καὶ ἐπέστρεψε καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν καὶ ἀνέβη καὶ συνέκαμψεν ἐπὶ τὸ παιδάριον ἕως ἑπτάκις, καὶ ἤνοιξε τὸ παιδάριον τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ.
35Then he returned, and walked in the house once back and forth, then went up and stretched himself out on him. Then the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
36καὶ ἐξεβόησε Ἑλισαιὲ πρὸς Γιεζὶ καὶ εἶπε· κάλεσον τὴν Σωμανῖτιν ταύτην· καὶ ἐκάλεσε, καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς αὐτόν. καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιέ· λάβε τὸν υἱόν σου.
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.”
37καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἡ γυνὴ καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ καὶ προσεκύνησεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ ἔλαβε τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς καὶ ἐξῆλθε.
37Then she went in, fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground; then she picked up her son, and went out.
38καὶ Ἑλισαιὲ ἐπέστρεψεν εἰς Γάλγαλα, καὶ ὁ λιμὸς ἐν τῇ γῇ, καὶ υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν ἐκάθηντο ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ. καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιὲ τῷ παιδαρίῳ αὐτοῦ· ἐπίστησεν τὸν λέβητα τὸν μέγαν καὶ ἕψε ἕψεμα τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν προφητῶν.
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, “Get the large pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets.”
39καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς τὸν ἀγρὸν συλλέξαι ἀριὼθ καὶ εὗρεν ἄμπελον ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ καὶ συνέλεξεν ἀπ᾿ αὐτῆς τολύπην ἀγρίαν πλῆρες τὸ ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνέβαλεν εἰς τὸν λέβητα τοῦ ἑψέματος, ὅτι οὐκ ἔγνωσαν.
39One went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered a lap full of wild gourds from it, and came and cut them up into the pot of stew; for they didn’t recognize them.
40καὶ ἐνέχει τοῖς ἀνδράσι φαγεῖν, καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐσθίειν αὐτοὺς ἐκ τοῦ ἑψέματος καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνεβόησαν καὶ εἶπαν· θάνατος ἐν τῷ λέβητι, ἄνθρωπε τοῦ Θεοῦ· καὶ οὐκ ἠδύναντο φαγεῖν.
40So they poured out for the men to eat. As they were eating some of the stew, they cried out and said, “Man of God, there is death in the pot!” And they could not eat it.
41καὶ εἶπε· λάβετε ἄλευρον καὶ ἐμβάλετε εἰς τὸν λέβητα· καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιὲ πρὸς Γιεζὶ τὸ παιδάριον· ἔγχει τῷ λαῷ καὶ ἐσθιέτωσαν· καὶ οὐκ ἐγενήθη ἐκεῖ ἔτι ρῆμα πονηρὸν ἐν τῷ λέβητι.
41But he said, “Then bring meal.” He threw it into the pot; and he said, “Serve it to the people, that they may eat.” And there was nothing harmful in the pot.
42καὶ ἀνὴρ διῆλθεν ἐκ Βαιθσαρισὰ καὶ ἤνεγκε πρὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦ Θεοῦ πρωτογεννημάτων εἴκοσιν ἄρτους κριθίνους καὶ παλάθας, καὶ εἶπε· δότε τῷ λαῷ καὶ ἐσθιέτωσαν.
42A man from Baal Shalishah came, and brought the man of God some bread of the first fruits: twenty loaves of barley and fresh ears of grain in his sack. Elisha said, “Give to the people, that they may eat.”
43καὶ εἶπεν ὁ λειτουργὸς αὐτοῦ· τί δῶ τοῦτο ἐνώπιον ἑκατὸν ἀνδρῶν; καὶ εἶπε· δὸς τῷ λαῷ καὶ ἐσθιέτωσαν, ὅτι τάδε λέγει Κύριος· φάγονται καὶ καταλείψουσι.
43His servant said, “What, should I set this before a hundred men?” But he said, “Give it to the people, that they may eat; for the LORD says, ‘They will eat, and will have some left over.’”
44καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ κατέλιπον κατὰ τὸ ρῆμα Κυρίου.
44So he set it before them and they ate and had some left over, according to the LORD’s word.
