2 राजा 4:8-16

8 And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.

9 And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.

10 Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.

11 And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there.

12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.

13 And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.

14 And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old.

15 And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.

16 And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.

8 फिर एक दिन की बात है कि एलीशा शूनेम को गया, जहां एक कुलीन स्त्री थी, और उसने उसे रोटी खाने के लिये बिनती कर के विवश किया। और जब जब वह उधर से जाता, तब तब वह वहां रोटी खाने को उतरता था।
And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.

9 और उस स्त्री ने अपने पति से कहा, सुन यह जो बार बार हमारे यहां से हो कर जाया करता है वह मुझे परमेश्वर का कोई पवित्र भक्त जान पड़ता है।
And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.

10 तो हम भीत पर एक छोटी उपरौठी कोठरी बनाएं, और उस में उसके लिये एक खाट, एक मेज, एक कुसीं और एक दीवट रखें, कि जब जब वह हमारे यहां आए, तब तब उसी में टिका करे।
Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.

11 एक दिन की बात है, कि वह वहां जा कर उस उपरौठी कोठरी में टिका और उसी में लेट गया।
And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there.

12 और उसने अपने सेवक गेहजी से कहा, उस शुनेमिन को बुला ले। उसके बुलाने से वह उसके साम्हने खड़ी हुई।
And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.

13 तब उसने गेहजी से कहा, इस से कह, कि तू ने हमारे लिये ऐसी बड़ी चिन्ता की है, तो तेरे लिये क्या किया जाए? क्या तेरी चर्चा राजा, वा प्रधान सेनापति से की जाए? उसने उत्तर दिया मैं तो अपने ही लोगों में रहती हूँ।
And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.

14 फिर उसने कहा, तो इसके लिये क्या किया जाए? गेहजी ने उत्तर दिया, निश्चय उसके कोई लड़का नहीं, और उसका पति बूढ़ा है।
And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old.

15 उसने कहा, उसको बुला ले। और जब उसने उसे बुलाया, तब वह द्वार में खड़ी हुई।
And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.

16 तब उसने कहा, बसन्त ऋतु में दिन पूरे होने पर तू एक बेटा छाती से लगाएगी। स्त्री ने कहा, हे मेरे प्रभु! हे परमेश्वर के भक्त ऐसा नहीं, अपनी दासी को धोखा न दे।
And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.
