7–BOB
1 Elishay aytdi:
— Egamizning soʻzini eshitinglar: U shunday demoqda: “Ertaga xuddi shu paytda Samariya darvozasi oldida yarim togʻora yaxshi un bir kumush tangadan , bir togʻora arpa ham bir kumush tangadan sotiladi.”
2 Shohning eng yaqin amaldori shu yerda edi. U Elishayga:
— Hatto Egamiz osmonning qopqasini ochib, yomgʻir yogʻdirganda ham shunday boʻlmas–ov, — dedi. Shunda Elishay:
— Sen koʻzing bilan koʻrasan, lekin senga nasib qilmaydi, — dedi.
Qamal tugaydi
3 Shu vaqtda shahar darvozasi tashqarisida teri kasalligiga chalingan toʻrtta odam: “Oʻlimimizni kutib, shu yerda oʻtiraveramizmi?!” deb bir–biriga gapirdi. 4 “Agar shaharga kiradigan boʻlsak, u yerda ocharchilik boʻlyapti, biz ham oʻsha yerda oʻlib ketamiz. Shu yerda oʻtiraversak ham oʻlamiz. Yaxshisi, Oram lashkarining qarorgohiga boraylik. Agar bizni tirik qoldirishsa, yashaymiz, oʻldirishsa, oʻlamiz.” 5 Ular oqshom payti Oram lashkarining qarorgohiga bormoqchi boʻlishib, otlanishdi. Oram lashkarining qarorgohi chekkasiga kelib qarasalar, u yerda birorta ham odam yoʻq ekan.
6 Rabbiy Oram lashkariga jang aravalarining taqir–tuqurini, otlarning kishnashini, koʻp lashkarning shovqin–suronini eshittirgan edi. Ular bir–birlariga: “Isroil shohi bizga qarshi hujum qilgani Xet va Misr lashkarlarini yollaganga oʻxshaydi”, dedilar. 7 Ular oqshom payti jonlarini qutqarish uchun chodirlarini, otlarini, eshaklarini, butun qarorgohni shundayicha tashlab qochib qolgan edilar.
8 Oʻsha kasal odamlar qarorgohga kelib, bir chodirga kirdilar. Chodirda yeb–ichib, u yerdan kumush, oltin, kiyim–kechaklarni olib ketib, yashirib qoʻydilar. Keyin qaytib kelib boshqa chodirga kirdilar, u yerdan ham topganlarini olib borib yashirdilar.
9 Soʻngra ular bir–birlariga aytdilar:
— Biz toʻgʻri ish qilmayapmiz. Bu kun — xushxabarlar yuz bergan kundir. Agar biz sustkashlik qilib, tong otishini kutsak, jazoga tortilishimiz aniq. Ketdik, shoh saroyiga borib xabar beraylik.
10 Kasal odamlar borib, shahar darvozabonlarini chaqirdilar–da, ularga shunday dedilar:
— Biz Oram lashkarining qarorgohiga borgan edik. U yerda na biror tirik jon bor, na biror inson tovushi eshitiladi. Faqat bogʻlovliq otlar, eshaklar turgan ekan. Chodirlarni, qanday turgan boʻlsa, shundayligicha tashlab ketibdilar.
11 Darvozabonlar jar solib bu xushxabarni shoh saroyiga yetkazdilar. 12 Shoh tunda oʻrnidan turib, lashkarboshilariga shunday dedi:
— Oram lashkari qanday reja tuzayotganlarini sizlarga aytib qoʻyay. Biz qahatchilikni boshdan kechirayotganimizni ular biladi. Shahardan chiqqanimizdan keyin, bizni tiriklayin qoʻlga olib, shaharga yorib kirishni rejalashtirgan. Shu maqsadda dalada pistirma qoʻyish uchun qarorgohdan chiqib ketgan.
13 Shohning aʼyonlaridan biri dedi:
— Shu paytgacha qancha odam oʻldi, shaharda qolganlarimiz ham baribir oʻlimga mahkummiz! Endi bir nechta odamni yuboraylik. Ular shaharda qolgan otlardan beshtasini olsin va borib, ahvolni bilib kelsin.
14 Ular ikkita otliq odamni tayyorladilar. Shoh oʻsha odamlarni Oram lashkari izidan joʻnatar ekan: “Borib, nima boʻlganini bilib kelinglar”, dedi.
15 Otliqlar Oram lashkarining izidan Iordan daryosigacha borishdi. Yoʻl boʻyi kiyim–kechak, buyumlar sochilib ketgan edi. Bu narsalarni Oram lashkari shoshib–pishib qochayotganlarida tashlab ketgan edilar. Yuborilgan odamlar qaytib kelib, shohga xabar berdilar.
16 Xalq Oram lashkarining qarorgohiga borib, u yerni talon–taroj qildi. Egamiz aytganiday, yarim togʻora yaxshi un bir kumush tangadan, bir togʻora arpa ham bir kumush tangadan sotildi.
17 Shoh oʻsha yaqin amaldorini darvozaga tayinlagan edi. Xalq amaldorni darvoza oldida bosib, yanchib oʻtib ketdi, amaldor oʻldi. Shoh paygʻambar huzuriga borganda, paygʻambar boʻladigan hodisalarni unga oldindan aytgan edi. 18 Hammasi paygʻambar aytganiday boʻldi. U shohga: “Ertaga xuddi shu paytda Samariya darvozasi oldida yarim togʻora yaxshi un bir kumush tangadan, bir togʻora arpa bir kumush tangadan sotiladi”, degan edi. 19 Amaldor esa paygʻambarga: “Hatto Egamiz osmonning qopqasini ochib, yomgʻir yogʻdirganda ham, shunday boʻlmas–ov”, deb javob bergan edi. Elishay esa unga: “Sen koʻzing bilan koʻrasan, lekin senga nasib qilmaydi”, degandi. 20 Shunday qilib, aytilgan voqea yuz berdi: xalq oʻsha amaldorni darvoza oldida bosib, yanchib oʻtib ketdi, amaldor oʻldi.
1 Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the LORD, 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. 2 Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
3 ¶ And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die? 4 If 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. 5 And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there. 6 For 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. 7 Wherefore 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. 8 And when these lepers came to the uttermost 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 came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also , and went and hid it . 9 Then 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, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king’s household. 10 So 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 horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they were . 11 And he called the porters; and they told it to the king’s house within.
12 ¶ And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I will now shew you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we be 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 catch them alive, and get into the city. 13 And 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, I say , they are even as all the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed:) and let us send and see. 14 They took therefore two chariot horses; and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see. 15 And they went after them unto 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. 16 And the people went out, and spoiled the tents 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 the LORD.
17 ¶ And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, who spake when the king came down to him. 18 And 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: 19 And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if the LORD 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. 20 And so it fell out unto him: for the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died.
