2 Kings 4

1καὶ γυνὴ μία ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν τῶν προφητῶν ἐβόα πρὸς Ελισαιε λέγουσα ὁ δοῦλός σου ὁ ἀνήρ μου ἀπέθανεν, καὶ σὺ ἔγνως ὅτι δοῦλος ἦν φοβούμενος τὸν κύριον· Καὶ Ὁ δανιστὴς ἦλθεν λαβεῖν τοὺς δύο υἱούς μου ἑαυτῷ εἰς δούλους. 2καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε τί ποιήσω σοι; ἀνάγγειλόν μοι Τί ἐστίν σοι ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ. ἡ δὲ εἶπεν Οὐκ ἔστιν τῇ δούλῃ σου οὐθὲν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ ὅτι ἀλλ' ἢ ὃ ἀλείψομαι ἔλαιον. 3καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτήν Δεῦρο αἴτησον σαυτῇ σκεύη ἔξωθεν παρὰ πάντων τῶν γειτόνων σου, σκεύη κενά, μὴ ὀλιγώσῃς, 4καὶ εἰσελεύσῃ καὶ ἀποκλείσεις τὴν θύραν κατὰ σοῦ καὶ κατὰ τῶν υἱῶν σου καὶ ἀποχεεῖς εἰς τὰ σκεύη ταῦτα καὶ τὸ πληρωθὲν ἀρεῖς. 5καὶ ἀπῆλθεν παρ' αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐποίησεν οὕτως καὶ ἀπέκλεισεν τὴν θύραν κατ' αὐτῆς καὶ κατὰ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτῆς· αὐτοὶ προσήγγιζον πρὸς αὐτήν, καὶ αὐτὴ ἐπέχεεν, 6ἕως ἐπλήσθησαν τὰ σκεύη. καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῆς Ἐγγίσατε ἔτι πρός με σκεῦος· καὶ εἶπον αὐτῇ Οὐκ ἔστιν ἔτι σκεῦος· καὶ ἔστη τὸ ἔλαιον. 7καὶ ἦλθεν καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε Δεῦρο καὶ ἀπόδου τὸ ἔλαιον καὶ ἀποτείσεις τοὺς τόκους σου, καὶ σὺ καὶ οἱ υἱοί σου ζήσεσθε ἐν τῷ ἐπιλοίπῳ ἐλαίῳ. 8καὶ ἐγένετο ἡμέρα καὶ διέβη Ελισαιε εἰς Σουμαν, καὶ ἐκεῖ γυνὴ μεγάλη καὶ ἐκράτησεν αὐτὸν φαγεῖν ἄρτον. Καὶ ἐγένετο ἀφ' ἱκανοῦ τοῦ εἰσπορεύεσθαι αὐτὸν ἐξέκλινεν τοῦ ἐκεῖ φαγεῖν. 9καὶ εἶπεν ἡ γυνὴ πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς Ἰδοὺ δὴ ἔγνων ὅτι ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ἅγιος οὗτος διαπορεύεται ἐφ' ἡμᾶς διὰ παντός· 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. 11καὶ ἐγένετο ἡμέρα καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἐκεῖ καὶ ἐξέκλινεν εἰς τὸ ὑπερῷον καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐκεῖ. 12καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς Γιεζι τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ Κάλεσόν μοι τὴν Σωμανῖτιν ταύτην· καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτήν, καὶ ἔστη ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ. 13καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Εἰπὸν δὴ πρὸς αὐτήν Ἰδοὺ ἐξέστησας ἡμῖν πᾶσαν τὴν ἔκστασιν ταύτην· τί δεῖ ποιῆσαί σοι; εἰ ἔστιν λόγος σοι πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα ἢ πρὸς τὸν ἄρχοντα τῆς δυνάμεως; ἡ δὲ εἶπεν Ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ λαοῦ μου ἐγώ εἰμι οἰκῶ. 14καὶ εἶπεν Τί δεῖ ποιῆσαι αὐτῇ; καὶ εἶπεν Γιεζι τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ καὶ μάλα υἱὸς οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτῇ, Καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς πρεσβύτης. 15καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτήν, καὶ ἔστη παρὰ τὴν θύραν. 16καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε πρὸς αὐτήν Εἰς τὸν καιρὸν τοῦτον ὡς ἡ ὥρα ζῶσα σὺ περιειληφυῖα υἱόν· ἡ δὲ εἶπεν μὴ κύριέ μου, Μή, διαψεύσῃ τὴν δούλην σου. 17καὶ ἐν γαστρὶ ἔλαβεν ἡ γυνὴ καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱὸν εἰς τὸν καιρὸν τοῦτον ὡς ἡ ὥρα ζῶσα, ὡς ἐλάλησεν πρὸς αὐτὴν Ελισαιε. 18καὶ ἡδρύνθη τὸ παιδάριον· καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα ἐξῆλθεν τὸ παιδάριον πρὸς τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ πρὸς τοὺς θερίζοντας, 19καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ τὴν κεφαλήν μου, τὴν κεφαλήν μου· καὶ εἶπεν τῷ παιδαρίῳ Ἆρον αὐτὸν πρὸς Τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ. 20καὶ ἦρεν αὐτὸν πρὸς τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐπὶ τῶν γονάτων αὐτῆς ἕως μεσημβρίας καὶ ἀπέθανεν. 21καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐκοίμισεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὴν κλίνην τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἀπέκλεισεν κατ' αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξῆλθεν. 22καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπεν Ἀπόστειλον δή μοι ἓν τῶν παιδαρίων καὶ μίαν τῶν ὄνων, καὶ δραμοῦμαι ἕως τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἐπιστρέψω. 23καὶ εἶπεν Τί ὅτι σὺ πορεύῃ πρὸς αὐτὸν σήμερον; οὐ νεομηνία οὐδὲ σάββατον. ἡ δὲ εἶπεν Εἰρήνη. 24καὶ ἐπέσαξεν τὴν ὄνον καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς τὸ παιδάριον αὐτῆς Ἄγε πορεύου, μὴ ἐπίσχῃς μοι τοῦ ἐπιβῆναι, ὅτι ἐὰν εἴπω σοι· 25δεῦρο καὶ πορεύσῃ καὶ ἐλεύσῃ πρὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦ θεοῦ εἰς τὸ ὄρος τὸ Καρμήλιον. καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἶδεν Ελισαιε ἐρχομένην αὐτήν, καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς Γιεζι τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ Ἰδοὺ δὴ ἡ Σωμανῖτις ἐκείνη· 26νῦν δράμε εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτῆς καὶ ἐρεῖς εἰ εἰρήνη σοι; εἰ εἰρήνη τῷ ἀνδρί σου; Εἰ εἰρήνη τῷ παιδαρίῳ; ἡ δὲ εἶπεν Εἰρήνη. 27καὶ ἦλθεν πρὸς Ελισαιε εἰς τὸ ὄρος καὶ ἐπελάβετο τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἤγγισεν Γιεζι ἀπώσασθαι αὐτήν, καὶ εἶπεν ελισαιε Ἄφες αὐτήν, ὅτι ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτῆς κατώδυνος αὐτῇ, καὶ κύριος ἀπέκρυψεν ἀπ' ἐμοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἀνήγγειλέν μοι. 28ἡ δὲ εἶπεν Μὴ ᾐτησάμην υἱὸν παρὰ τοῦ κυρίου μου; οὐκ εἶπα Οὐ πλανήσεις μετ' ἐμοῦ; 29καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε τῷ Γιεζι 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. 30καὶ εἶπεν ἡ μήτηρ τοῦ παιδαρίου ζῇ κύριος καὶ Ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου, εἰ ἐγκαταλείψω σε· καὶ ἀνέστη Ελισαιε καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὀπίσω αὐτῆς. 31καὶ Γιεζι διῆλθεν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπέθηκεν 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. 32καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ελισαιε εἰς τὸν οἶκον, καὶ ἰδοὺ τὸ παιδάριον τεθνηκὸς κεκοιμισμένον ἐπὶ τὴν κλίνην αὐτοῦ. 33καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ελισαιε εἰς τὸν οἶκον καὶ ἀπέκλεισεν τὴν θύραν κατὰ τῶν δύο ἑαυτῶν καὶ προσηύξατο πρὸς κύριον· 34καὶ ἀνέβη καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐπὶ τὸ παιδάριον καὶ ἔθηκεν 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 σὰρξ τοῦ παιδαρίου. 35καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν καὶ ἀνέβη καὶ συνέκαμψεν ἐπὶ τὸ παιδάριον ἕως ἑπτάκις, καὶ ἤνοιξεν τὸ παιδάριον τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ. 36καὶ ἐξεβόησεν Ελισαιε πρὸς Γιεζι καὶ εἶπεν Κάλεσον τὴν Σωμανῖτιν ταύτην· καὶ ἐκάλεσεν, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτόν. καὶ εἶπεν ελισαιε Λαβὲ τὸν υἱόν σου. 37καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἡ γυνὴ καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ καὶ προσεκύνησεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ ἔλαβεν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς καὶ ἐξῆλθεν. 38καὶ Ελισαιε ἐπέστρεψεν εἰς Γαλγαλα, καὶ ὁ λιμὸς ἐν τῇ γῇ, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν ἐκάθηντο ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ. καὶ εἶπεν ελισαιε τῷ παιδαρίῳ αὐτοῦ Ἐπίστησον τὸν λέβητα τὸν μέγαν Καὶ ἕψε ἕψεμα τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν προφητῶν. 39καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἷς εἰς τὸν ἀγρὸν συλλέξαι αριωθ 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. 40καὶ ἐνέχει τοῖς ἀνδράσιν φαγεῖν, καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐσθίειν αὐτοὺς ἐκ τοῦ ἑψήματος καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνεβόησαν καὶ εἶπον Θάνατος ἐν τῷ λέβητι, ἄνθρωπε τοῦ θεοῦ· καὶ οὐκ ἠδύναντο φαγεῖν. 41καὶ εἶπεν Λάβετε ἄλευρον καὶ ἐμβάλετε εἰς τὸν λέβητα· καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε πρὸς Γιεζι τὸ παιδάριον Ἔγχει τῷ λαῷ καὶ ἐσθιέτωσαν· καὶ οὐκ ἐγενήθη ἔτι ἐκεῖ ῥῆμα πονηρὸν ἐν τῷ λέβητι. 42καὶ ἀνὴρ διῆλθεν ἐκ Βαιθσαρισα καὶ ἤνεγκεν πρὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦ θεοῦ πρωτογενημάτων εἴκοσι ἄρτους κριθίνους καὶ παλάθας, καὶ εἶπεν Δότε τῷ λαῷ καὶ ἐσθιέτωσαν. 43καὶ εἶπεν ὁ λειτουργὸς αὐτοῦ Τί δῶ τοῦτο ἐνώπιον ἑκατὸν ἀνδρῶν; καὶ εἶπεν Δὸς τῷ λαῷ καὶ ἐσθιέτωσαν, ὅτι τάδε λέγει κύριος Φάγονται καὶ καταλείψουσιν. 44καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ κατέλιπον κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα κυρίου.
