2 Kings 6
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha: 'Behold now, the place where we dwell before thee is too strait for us.
1Sie len ah un mwet palu se ma Elisha el leum fac elos torkaskas ac fahk nu sel, “Acn se kut muta we inge arulana srikla!
2Let us go, we pray thee, unto the Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell.' And he answered: 'Go ye.'
2Kut siyuk sum kut in som nu ke Infacl Jordan ac pakiya kutu sak ah kut in musaela sie pac lohm ah sesr.” Elisha el topuk, “Wona.”
3And one said: 'Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants.' And he answered: 'I will go.'
3Sie selos kwafe tuh Elisha elan welulos som, ac el insese nu sel,
4So he went with them. And when they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.
4na elos tukeni mukuiyak. Ke elos sun Infacl Jordan, elos mutawauk orekma.
5But as one was felling a beam, the axe-head fell into the water; and he cried, and said: 'Alas, my master! for it was borrowed.'
5Ke sie selos tufahna paki sak soko, na sifen tula soko ah putatla nu inkof ah. El fahk nu sel Elisha, “Leum luk, mea nga ac oru? Tula soko inge ma ngusrla!”
6And the man of God said: 'Where fell it?' And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither, and made the iron to swim.
6Elisha el siyuk, “Putatla ya?” Mukul sac srisrngiya nu sel acn sac, na Elisha el pakela polosak se ac sisla nu insac, na sifen tula soko ah pahtak.
7And he said: 'Take it up to thee.' So he put out his hand, and took it.
7El sap, “Sruokya.” Na mukul sac saplakla srukak.
8Now the king of Aram warred against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying: 'In such and such a place shall be my camp.'
8Tokosra lun Syria el mweun lain Israel. El pwapa yurin mwet leum lun mwet mweun lal, ac sulela sie acn elos in aktuktuk we.
9And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying: 'Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Arameans are coming down.'
9Tuh Elisha el supwala kas nu sin tokosra lun Israel in sensenkunul elan tia som apkuran nu in acn sac, mweyen mwet mweun lun Syria elos wikwik soanelos we.
10And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he guarded himself there, not once nor twice.
10Ouinge tokosra lun Israel el fahkang ma inge nu sin mwet Israel su muta in acn sac, elos in ngusrikyak ac akola. Ouiya se inge sikyak pacl pus.
11And the heart of the king of Aram was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them: 'Will ye not tell me which of us is for the king of Israel?'
11Tokosra Syria el arulana kasrkusrak ke lumah se inge. El pangoneni mwet leum lun un mwet mweun lal ac siyuk selos, “Su kac suwos wi layen lun tokosra Israel uh?”
12And one of his servants said: 'Nay, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bed-chamber.'
12Sie selos topuk, “Tia sie sesr. Mwet palu Elisha pa muta fahk nu sin tokosra lun Israel ma nukewa ma kom fahk uh, finne ma fwack in lukma infukil sum an.”
13And he said: 'Go and see where he is, that I may send and fetch him.' And it was told him, saying: 'Behold, he is in Dothan.'
13Na tokosra el sapkin, “Sokolak lah el oasr ya, nga in sruokilya.” Ke fwackyang nu sel lah Elisha el oasr in acn Dothan,
14Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host; and they came by night, and compassed the city about.
14tokosra el supwala un mwet mweun na lulap se nu we wi horse ac chariot. Elos sun acn we ke fong, ac kuhlusya acn sac.
15And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, a host with horses and chariots was round about the city. And his servant said unto him: 'Alas, my master! how shall we do?'
15Toang na ke lotu se tok ah, mwet kulansap se lal Elisha illa liki lohm ah, ac liye lah un mwet mweun lun Syria wi horse ac chariot natulos raunela siti uh. El folokla ac fahk nu sel Elisha, “Pakomuta, kut ac lalna! Mea kut ac oru?”
16And he answered: 'Fear not: for they that are with us are more than they that are with them.'
16Elisha el topuk, “Nimet sangeng. Pus mwet wi kut lukelos.”
17And Elisha prayed, and said: 'LORD, I pray Thee, open his eyes, that he may see.' And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw; and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
17Na el pre, “O LEUM GOD , ikasla mutal elan ku in liye!” LEUM GOD El topuk pre lal, ac mwet kulansap lal Elisha el ngetak ac liye lah pe eol uh sessesla ke horse ac chariot e, raunella Elisha.
18And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said: 'Smite this people, I pray Thee, with blindness.' And He smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
18Ke mwet Syria elos oatui in lainulos, Elisha el pre, “O LEUM GOD , konela mutun mwet inge.” LEUM GOD El topuk pre lal, ac konela mutalos.
19And Elisha said unto them: 'This is not the way, neither is this the city; follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek.' And he led them to Samaria.
19Na Elisha el som nu yorolos ac fahk, “Tafongla inkanek lowos an. Tia pa inge siti se kowos suk an. Fahsr tukuk ac nga fah pwen kowos nu yurin mwet se kowos suk an.” Ac el kololosla nu Samaria.
20And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said: 'LORD, open the eyes of these men, that they may see.' And the LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
20Pacl se na ma elos utyak nu in siti ah, Elisha el pre ac fahk, “LEUM GOD , ikasla mutalos elos in liye.” LEUM GOD El lohng pre lal, ac ikasla mutalos ac elos liye tuh na elos oasr in acn Samaria.
21And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them: 'My father, shall I smite them? shall I smite them?'
21Ke pacl se tokosra lun Israel el liye mwet Syria inge, el siyuk sel Elisha, “Ku nga ac uniya mwet Syria inge? Nga ac onelosi?”
22And he answered: 'Thou shalt not smite them; hast thou taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow those whom thou wouldest smite? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.'
22El topuk, “Mo. Finne mwet mweun su kom sruokya ke mweun, kom ac tia uniya. Sang kutu ma elos in kang ac nim, ac lela elos in folokla nu yurin tokosra lalos.”
23And he prepared great provision for them; and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the bands of Aram came no more into the land of Israel.
23Ouinge tokosra Israel el orala kufwa na yohk se nu selos, na tukun elos mongo ac nim tari, el supwalosla nu yurin tokosra Syria. Tukun pacl sac me, mwet Syria tia sifil orek lokoalok nu sin mwet Israel.
24And it came to pass after this, that Ben-hadad king of Aram gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
24In kutu pacl tok, Tokosra Benhadad lun Syria el us mwet mweun lal nukewa in lain Israel, ac kuhlusya siti Samaria.
25And there was a great famine in Samaria; and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.
25Ke sripen kuhlusyuki se inge, arulana sufalla mwe mongo nu sin mwet in siti uh, oru sifen donkey soko kukala ke ipin silver oalngoul, ac tafun paun ke koanonsien wuleoa kukala ke ipin silver limekosr.
26And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying: 'Help, my lord, O king.'
26Tokosra lun Israel el forfor fin pot in siti uh ke mutan se wola nu sel ac fahk, “O Tokosra, kasreyu!”
27And he said: 'If the LORD do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the threshingfloor, or out of the winepress?'
27Ac tokosra el topuk, “LEUM GOD El fin tia kasrekom, kasru fuka nga ac ku in oru nu sum? Ku mea, oasr wheat ku wain yuruk?
28And the king said unto her: 'What aileth thee?' And she answered: 'This woman said unto me: Give thy son, that we may eat him to-day, and we will eat my son to-morrow.
28Mea elya lom an?” Mutan sac topuk, “In kutu len somla mutan se inge pwapa nu sik kut in kangla tulik se nutik, na len tok ah kut fah kangla tulik natul ah.
29So we boiled my son, and did eat him; and I said unto her on the next day: Give thy son, that we may eat him; and she hath hid her son.'
29Na kut akmolyela wen se nutik ac kangla, na len tok ah nga fahk nu sel kut in kangla wen natul ah, a el okanulla!”
30And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes — now he was passing by upon the wall — and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh.
30Ke tokosra el lohng ma inge, el arulana toasrla ac salik nuknuk lal, ac mwet ma muta fototo nu ke pot ah ku in liye lah el nukum nuknuk yohk eoa se ye nuknuk lal ah.
31Then he said: 'God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.'
31Tokosra el liksreni fahk, “Lela LEUM GOD Elan uniyuwi ngan misa, fin tia tahtla kwawal Elisha meet liki fongeni!”
32But Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him; and the king sent a man from before him; but ere the messenger came to him, he said to the elders: 'See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away my head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold the door fast against him; is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?'
32Ac el supwala mwet se in tuh usalu Elisha. In pacl sacna, Elisha el muta inkul sel wi mwet matu su tuku nu yorol. Meet liki mwet se ma tokosra el supu ah sun acn we, Elisha el fahk nu sin mwet matu inge, “Mwet akmas sac ac supwama mwet se in tuh uniyuwi. El fin sun acn inge, kowos kaliya srungul an, ac nimet lela elan utyak. Tokosra el ac sa na tuku tokol.”
33And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down unto him; and the king said: 'Behold, this evil is of the LORD; why should I wait for the LORD any longer?'
33El tufahna fahkla ma inge na tokosra el sun acn we, ac fahk, “LEUM GOD pa use mwe lokoalok inge nu facsr uh! Mea pac kut ac soanel nu kac an?”
