Elisha tell da officer guy, “Fo shua, you goin see um happen jalike I wen tell. But you, you no goin eat notting from dat!”
Da Trouble Pau
3 Da same time, had four guys wit da kine sick all ova da skin dat odda guys can catch. Dey stay outside da gate fo go inside Samaria town. Dey tell, “Eh! No good, we stay hea till we mahke!
4 If we go inside Samaria town, no mo food inside dea, so we goin mahke dea. An if we stay hea, we goin mahke too. So, we go ova dea by da camp fo da Aram army guys, an give up. If dey let us stay alive, den we stay alive. If dey kill us, den we mahke.”
5 Wen start fo come dark, dey stan up fo go by da Aram camp. Wen dey come jus outside da camp, dey no see nobody ova dea!
6 Az cuz da same time da sick guys leave Samaria town, da Boss wen make da Aram army guys hear plenny noise from plenny war wagons an horses, an one big army. Da army guys tell each odda, “Eh! Da Israel king wen pay da kings fo da Het peopo an da Egypt peopo fo come attack us guys!”
7 So befo come real dark, dey all get up an run away. Dey leave dea tents, horses, an donkeys right dea, da whole camp. Dey run fas fo stay alive.
8 Da guys dat get da kine sick all ova da skin dat odda guys can catch, dey come da edge a da camp, an go inside one tent. Dey eat an drink, an carry away da silva, da gold, an da clotheses from dea. Den dey go hide da stuff. Dey come back, go inside anodda tent, carry away mo stuff, an hide dat too.
9 Den dey tell each odda, “Wat us guys stay do, az not right! Dis, da time fo tell oua peopo all dis good stuff, an we no stay tell um. Us no can wait till da light come, cuz den us get da blame fo no tell notting! Mo betta we go right now, an tell da guys inside da king palace wat we wen see.”
10 Az why dey go yell to da guys dat watch da gates, an tell dem, “We wen go by da Aram camp. An you know wat?! No mo nobody stay ova dea! No can hear nobody talking. Ony get da horses an donkeys dat dey wen tie up. An da tents stay jalike dey wen leave um.”
11 Da guys dat watch da gates yell wat da guys wit da skin kine sick wen tell, an somebody tell da peopo inside da king palace.
12 Da king hear dis an get up nite time. He tell his officer guys, “I goin tell you wat da Aram guys stay do to us. Dey know us no mo food, Az why dey go way from dea camp an stay hide inside da country side. Dey figga, ‘Fo shua da Samaria guys goin come outside da town, an den, we can grab um wen dey stay alive, an go inside dea big town.’ ”
13 One a da officer guys tell, “Tell some guys fo take five a da horses dat stay inside da town still yet. Maybe dey not goin mahke! At leas, all da odda Israel army guys dat stay hea not goin mahke. An maybe da guys we sen get wipe out, jalike all da odda Israel army guys dat still stay hea, goin get wipe out. So we go sen dem fo find out wat wen happen.”
14 So dey pick two war wagon wit horse, an da king sen dem afta da Aram army guys. He tell da guys dat stay in charge a da war wagons, “Go find out wat wen happen!”
15 Dey go afta da Aram army guys all da way by da Jordan Riva. Dey see dat all ova da road, get da Aram guys clotheses an stuffs all ova da place dat da Aram guys wen throw way wen dey come sked an run away! So da messenja guys come back an tell da king.
16 Den da Samaria peopo go out an rip off da stuffs from da Aram army camp. So seven quart a da bestes kine flour cost ony half ounce silva, an fourteen quart barley cost ony half ounce silva too, jalike Da One In Charge wen tell.
17 Da king wen put da officer dat come wit him in charge a da town gate, but da peopo no give a rip. Dey run outa da town an knock down da officer, walk ova him, an he mahke, jalike Elisha, da guy dat stay tight wit God, wen tell wen da king go by Elisha.
18 All dis wen happen jalike Elisha, da guy dat stay tight wit God, wen tell da king, “Dis same time tomorra, fourteen quart a barley goin cost ony half ounce a silva, an seven quart a da bestes kine flour goin cost ony half ounce a silva too, by da Samaria town gate.”
19 Da officer wen tell Elisha, da guy dat stay tight wit God, “You tink Da One In Charge goin open up windows inside da sky an make food come down jalike rain?! No way!” An Elisha tell da officer guy, “You goin see um happen jalike I wen tell. But you, you no goin eat notting from dat!”
20 An az jus wat wen happen fo da officer guy, cuz da peopo walk all ova him inside da gate, an he mahke.
