1 και γυνη μια απο των υιων των προφητων εβοα προς ελισαιε λεγουσα ο δουλος σου ο ανηρ μου απεθανεν και συ εγνως οτι δουλος ην φοβουμενος τον κυριον και ο δανιστης ηλθεν λαβειν τους δυο υιους μου εαυτω εις δουλους	1 The wife of a member of the prophetic brotherhood appealed to Elisha. 'Your servant my husband isdead,' she said, 'and you know how your servant revered Yahweh. A creditor has now come to take my twochildren and make them his slaves.'
2 και ειπεν ελισαιε τι ποιησω σοι αναγγειλον μοι τι εστιν σοι εν τω οικω η δε ειπεν ουκ εστιν τη δουλη σου ουθεν εν τω οικω οτι αλλ' η ο αλειψομαι ελαιον	2 Elisha said, 'What can I do for you? Tel me, what have you got in the house?' 'Your servant has nothingin the house,' she replied, 'except a flask of oil.'
3 και ειπεν προς αυτην δευρο αιτησον σαυτη σκευη εξωθεν παρα παντων των γειτονων σου σκευη κενα μη ολιγωσης	3 Then he said, 'Go outside and borrow jars from al your neighbours, empty jars and not too few.
4 και εισελευση και αποκλεισεις την θυραν κατα σου και κατα των υιων σου και αποχεεις εις τα σκευη ταυτα και το πληρωθεν αρεις	4 When you come back, shut the door on yourself and your sons, and pour the oil into all these jars,putting each aside when it is ful .'
5 και απηλθεν παρ' αυτου και εποιησεν ουτως και απεκλεισεν την θυραν κατ' αυτης και κατα των υιων αυτης αυτοι προσηγγιζον προς αυτην και αυτη επεχεεν	5 So she left him; and she shut the door on herself and her sons; they passed her the jars and she wenton pouring.
6 εως επλησθησαν τα σκευη και ειπεν προς τους υιους αυτης εγγισατε ετι προς με σκευος και ειπον αυτη ουκ εστιν ετι σκευος και εστη το ελαιον	6 When the jars were full, she said to her son, 'Pass me another jar.' 'There are no more,' he replied. Thenthe oil stopped flowing.
7 και ηλθεν και απηγγειλεν τω ανθρωπω του θεου και ειπεν ελισαιε δευρο και αποδου το ελαιον και αποτεισεις τους τοκους σου και συ και οι υιοι σου ζησεσθε εν τω επιλοιπω ελαιω	7 She went and told the man of God, who said, 'Go and sel the oil and redeem your pledge; you and yourchildren can live on the remainder.'
8 και εγενετο ημερα και διεβη ελισαιε εις σουμαν και εκει γυνη μεγαλη και εκρατησεν αυτον φαγειν αρτον και εγενετο αφ' ικανου του εισπορευεσθαι αυτον εξεκλινεν του εκει φαγειν	8 One day as Elisha was on his way to Shunem, a woman of rank who lived there pressed him to stay andeat there. After this he always broke his journey for a meal when he passed that way.

10 ποιησωμεν δη αυτω υπερωον τοπον μικρον και θωμεν αυτω εκει κλινην και τραπεζαν και διφρον και λυχνιαν και εσται εν τω εισπορευεσθαι προς ημας και εκκλινει εκει	10 Let us build him a smal wal ed room, and put him a bed in it, and a table and chair and lamp;whenever he comes to us he can rest there.'
11 και εγενετο ημερα και εισηλθεν εκει και εξεκλινεν εις το υπερωον και εκοιμηθη εκει	11 One day when he came, he retired to the upper room and lay down.
12 και ειπεν προς γιεζι το παιδαριον αυτου καλεσον μοι την σωμανιτιν ταυτην και εκαλεσεν αυτην και εστη ενωπιον αυτου	12 He said to his servant Gehazi, 'Cal our Shunammite.' He cal ed her and when she appeared, Elishasaid,
13 και ειπεν αυτω ειπον δη προς αυτην ιδου εξεστησας ημιν πασαν την εκστασιν ταυτην τι δει ποιησαι σοι ει εστιν λογος σοι προς τον βασιλεα η προς τον αρχοντα της δυναμεως η δε ειπεν εν μεσω του λαου μου εγω ειμι οικω	13 'Tell her this: "Look, you have gone to al this trouble for us, what can we do for you? Is there anythingyou would like said for you to the king or to the commander of the army?" ' But she replied, 'I live with my ownpeople about me.'
14 και ειπεν τι δει ποιησαι αυτη και ειπεν γιεζι το παιδαριον αυτου και μαλα υιος ουκ εστιν αυτη και ο ανηρ αυτης πρεσβυτης	14 'What can I do for you then?' he asked. Gehazi replied, 'Wel , she has no son and her husband is old.'
15 και εκαλεσεν αυτην και εστη παρα την θυραν	15 Elisha said, 'Call her.' The servant cal ed her and she stood at the door.

18 και ηδρυνθη το παιδαριον και εγενετο ηνικα εξηλθεν το παιδαριον προς τον πατερα αυτου προς τους θεριζοντας	18 The child grew up; one day he went to his father who was with the reapers,
19 και ειπεν προς τον πατερα αυτου την κεφαλην μου την κεφαλην μου και ειπεν τω παιδαριω αρον αυτον προς την μητερα αυτου	19 and exclaimed to his father, 'Oh, my head! My head!' The father told a servant to carry him to hismother.

23 και ειπεν τι οτι συ πορευη προς αυτον σημερον ου νεομηνια ουδε σαββατον η δε ειπεν ειρηνη	23 'Why go to him today?' he asked. 'It is not New Moon or Sabbath.' But she replied, 'Never mind.'
24 και επεσαξεν την ονον και ειπεν προς το παιδαριον αυτης αγε πορευου μη επισχης μοι του επιβηναι οτι εαν ειπω σοι	24 She had the donkey saddled and said to her servant, 'Lead on, go! Do not draw rein until I give theorder.'
25 δευρο και πορευση και ελευση προς τον ανθρωπον του θεου εις το ορος το καρμηλιον και εγενετο ως ειδεν ελισαιε ερχομενην αυτην και ειπεν προς γιεζι το παιδαριον αυτου ιδου δη η σωμανιτις εκεινη	25 She set off and made her way to the man of God at Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her inthe distance, he said to his servant Gehazi, 'Look, here comes our Shunammite!

27 και ηλθεν προς ελισαιε εις το ορος και επελαβετο των ποδων αυτου και ηγγισεν γιεζι απωσασθαι αυτην και ειπεν ελισαιε αφες αυτην οτι η ψυχη αυτης κατωδυνος αυτη και κυριος απεκρυψεν απ' εμου και ουκ ανηγγειλεν μοι	27 When she came to the man of God there on the mountain, she took hold of his feet. Gehazi steppedforward to push her away, but the man of God said, 'Leave her; there is bitterness in her soul and Yahweh hashidden it from me, he has not told me.'
28 η δε ειπεν μη ητησαμην υιον παρα του κυριου μου ουκ ειπα ου πλανησεις μετ' εμου	28 She said, 'Did I ask my lord for a son? Did I not say: Don't deceive me?'
29 και ειπεν ελισαιε τω γιεζι ζωσαι την οσφυν σου και λαβε την βακτηριαν μου εν τη χειρι σου και δευρο οτι εαν ευρης ανδρα ουκ ευλογησεις αυτον και εαν ευλογηση σε ανηρ ουκ αποκριθηση αυτω και επιθησεις την βακτηριαν μου επι προσωπον του παιδαριου	29 Elisha said to Gehazi, 'Hitch up your clothes, take my staff in your hand and go. If you meet anyone, donot greet him; if anyone greets you, do not answer him. You are to stretch out my staff over the child.'

31 και γιεζι διηλθεν εμπροσθεν αυτης και επεθηκεν την βακτηριαν επι προσωπον του παιδαριου και ουκ ην φωνη και ουκ ην ακροασις και επεστρεψεν εις απαντην αυτου και απηγγειλεν αυτω λεγων ουκ ηγερθη το παιδαριον	31 Gehazi had gone ahead of them and had stretched out the staff over the child, but there was no soundor response. He went back to meet Elisha and told him. 'The child has not woken up,' he said.

34 και ανεβη και εκοιμηθη επι το παιδαριον και εθηκεν το στομα αυτου επι το στομα αυτου και τους οφθαλμους αυτου επι τους οφθαλμους αυτου και τας χειρας αυτου επι τας χειρας αυτου και διεκαμψεν επ' αυτον και διεθερμανθη η σαρξ του παιδαριου	34 Then he climbed on to the bed and stretched himself on top of the child, putting his mouth on hismouth, his eyes to his eyes, and his hands on his hands, and as he lowered himself on to him, the child's fleshgrew warm.
35 και επεστρεψεν και επορευθη εν τη οικια ενθεν και ενθεν και ανεβη και συνεκαμψεν επι το παιδαριον εως επτακις και ηνοιξεν το παιδαριον τους οφθαλμους αυτου	35 Then he got up and walked to and fro inside the house, and then climbed on to the bed again andlowered himself on to the child seven times in al ; then the child sneezed and opened his eyes.

38 και ελισαιε επεστρεψεν εις γαλγαλα και ο λιμος εν τη γη και οι υιοι των προφητων εκαθηντο ενωπιον αυτου και ειπεν ελισαιε τω παιδαριω αυτου επιστησον τον λεβητα τον μεγαν και εψε εψεμα τοις υιοις των προφητων	38 Elisha went back to Gilgal while there was famine in the country. As the brotherhood of prophets weresitting with him, he said to his servant, 'Put the large pot on the fire and cook some soup for the brotherhood.'

On his return, he cut them up into the pot of soup; they did not know what theywere.

And they could not eat it.
41 και ειπεν λαβετε αλευρον και εμβαλετε εις τον λεβητα και ειπεν ελισαιε προς γιεζι το παιδαριον εγχει τω λαω και εσθιετωσαν και ουκ εγενηθη ετι εκει ρημα πονηρον εν τω λεβητι	41 'Bring some meal then,' Elisha said. This he threw into the pot, and said, 'Pour out, for the company toeat!' And there was nothing harmful in the pot.
