The Latin Vulgate VUL
New American Standard Bible NAS
1 dixit autem Heliseus audite verbum Domini haec dicit Dominus in tempore hoc cras modius similae uno statere erit et duo modii hordei statere uno in porta Samariae
1
Then Elisha said, "Listen to the word of the LORD ; thus says the LORD , '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.' "
2 respondens unus de ducibus super cuius manum rex incumbebat homini Dei ait si Dominus fecerit etiam cataractas in caelo numquid poterit esse quod loqueris qui ait videbis oculis tuis et inde non comedes
2
The royal officer on whose hand the king was leaning answered the man of God and said, "Behold, if the LORD should make windows in heaven, could this thing be?" Then he said, "Behold, you will see it with your own eyes, but you will not eat of it."
3 quattuor ergo viri erant leprosi iuxta introitum portae qui dixerunt ad invicem quid hic esse volumus donec moriamur
3
Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate; and they said to one another, "Why do we sit here until we die?
4 sive ingredi voluerimus civitatem fame moriemur sive manserimus hic moriendum nobis est venite igitur et transfugiamus ad castra Syriae si pepercerint nobis vivemus si autem occidere voluerint nihilominus moriemur
4
"If we say, 'We will enter the city,' then the famine is in the city and we will die there; and if we sit here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us go over to the camp of the Arameans. If they spare us, we will live; and if they kill us, we will but die."
5 surrexerunt igitur vesperi ut venirent ad castra Syriae cumque venissent ad principium castrorum Syriae nullum ibidem reppererunt
5
They arose at twilight to go to the camp of the Arameans; when they came to the outskirts of the camp of the Arameans, behold, there was no one there.
6 siquidem Dominus sonitum audiri fecerat in castris Syriae curruum et equorum et exercitus plurimi dixeruntque ad invicem ecce mercede conduxit adversum nos rex Israhel reges Hettheorum et Aegyptiorum et venerunt super nos
6
For the Lord had caused the army of the Arameans to hear a sound of chariots and a sound of horses, even the sound of a great army, so that they said to one another, "Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us."
7 surrexerunt ergo et fugerunt in tenebris et dereliquerunt tentoria sua et equos et asinos in castris fugeruntque animas tantum suas salvare cupientes
7
Therefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents and their horses and their donkeys, even the camp just as it was, and fled for their life.
8 igitur cum venissent leprosi illi ad principium castrorum ingressi sunt unum tabernaculum et comederunt et biberunt tuleruntque inde argentum et aurum et vestes et abierunt et absconderunt et rursum reversi sunt ad aliud tabernaculum et inde similiter auferentes absconderunt
8
When these lepers came to the outskirts of the camp, they entered one tent and ate and drank, and carried from there silver and gold and clothes, and went and hid them; and they returned and entered another tent and carried from there also, and went and hid them.
9 dixeruntque ad invicem non recte facimus haec enim dies boni nuntii est si tacuerimus et noluerimus nuntiare usque mane sceleris arguemur venite eamus et nuntiemus in aula regis
9
Then they said to one another, "We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news, but we are keeping silent; if we wait until morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come, let us go and tell the king's household."
10 cumque venissent ad portam civitatis narraverunt eis dicentes ivimus ad castra Syriae et nullum ibidem repperimus hominum nisi equos et asinos alligatos et fixa tentoria
10
So they came and called to the gatekeepers of the city, and they told them, saying, "We came to the camp of the Arameans, and behold, there was no one there, nor the voice of man, only the horses tied and the donkeys tied, and the tents just as they were."
11 ierunt ergo portarii et nuntiaverunt in palatio regis intrinsecus
11
The gatekeepers called and told it within the king's household.
12 qui surrexit nocte et ait ad servos suos dico vobis quid fecerint nobis Syri sciunt quia fame laboramus et idcirco egressi sunt de castris et latitant in agris dicentes cum egressi fuerint de civitate capiemus eos viventes et tunc civitatem ingredi poterimus
12
Then the king arose in the night and said to his servants, "I will now tell you what the Arameans have done to us. They know that we are hungry; therefore they have gone from the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, 'When they come out of the city, we will capture them alive and get into the city.' "
13 respondit autem unus servorum eius tollamus quinque equos qui remanserunt in urbe quia ipsi tantum sunt in universa multitudine Israhel alii enim consumpti sunt et mittentes explorare poterimus
13
One of his servants said, "Please, let some men take five of the horses which remain, which are left in the city. Behold, they will be in any case like all the multitude of Israel who are left in it; behold, they will be in any case like all the multitude of Israel who have already perished, so let us send and see."
14 adduxerunt ergo duos equos misitque rex ad castra Syrorum dicens ite videte
14
They took therefore two chariots with horses, and the king sent after the army of the Arameans, saying, "Go and see."
15 qui abierunt post eos usque ad Iordanem ecce autem omnis via plena erat vestibus et vasis quae proiecerant Syri cum turbarentur reversique nuntii indicaverunt regi
15
They went after them to the Jordan, and behold, all the way was full of clothes and equipment which the Arameans had thrown away in their haste. Then the messengers returned and told the king.
16 et egressus populus diripuit castra Syriae factusque est modius similae statere uno et duo modii hordei statere uno iuxta verbum Domini
16
So the people went out and plundered the camp of the Arameans. Then 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 porro rex ducem illum in cuius manu incubuerat constituit ad portam quem conculcavit turba in introitu et mortuus est iuxta quod locutus fuerat vir Dei quando descenderat rex ad eum
17
Now the king appointed the royal officer on whose hand he leaned to have charge of the gate; but the people trampled on him at the gate, and he died just as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.
18 factumque est secundum sermonem viri Dei quem dixerat regi quando ait duo modii hordei statere uno erunt et modius similae statere uno hoc eodem tempore cras in porta Samariae
18
It happened just 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, will be sold tomorrow about this time at the gate of Samaria."
19 quando responderat dux ille viro Dei et dixerat etiam si Dominus fecerit cataractas in caelo numquid fieri poterit quod loqueris et dixit ei videbis oculis tuis et inde non comedes
19
Then the royal officer answered the man of God and said, "Now behold, if the LORD should make windows in heaven, could such a thing be?" And he said, "Behold, you will see it with your own eyes, but you will not eat of it."
20 evenit ergo ei sicut praedictum erat et conculcavit eum populus in porta et mortuus est
20
And so it happened to him, for the people trampled on him at the gate and he died.
