1 Now Alayashai (Elisha) had dabar (word / matter) to the ayashah (woman / wife), whose ban (son) he had restored to chayah (life), amar (spoke), “qawam (rise up), and yalak (go), you and your bayath (house), and stay for a while wherever you can; for Yahawah () has qaraa (called) for a raib (famine). It shall also bawaa (come) on the aratz (Earth/land) shabai (seven) shanayam (years).”
2 The ayashah (woman / wife) qawam (rise up), and ishah (make) according to the dabar (word / matter) of the ayash (man / husband) of Alahayam (). She yalak (went) with her bayath (house), and lived in the aratz (Earth/land) of the Palashathay (Philistines) shabai (seven) shanayam (years).
3 It happened at the shabai (seven) shanayam (two) qatzah (end / extremity / border), that the ayashah (woman / wife) shawab (turn) out of the aratz (Earth/land) of the Palashathay (Philistines). Then she yatzaa (go out / come out) forth to tzaiq (cry) to the malak (king) for her bayath (house) and for her shadah (land).
4 Now the malak (king) was dabar (word / matter) with Gayachazay (Gehazi) the nair (servant) of the ayash (man / husband) of Alahayam (), amar (spoke), “Please sapar (book) me all the gadawal (very great/important/mighty) things that Alayashai (Elisha) ishah (make) done.”
5 It happened, as he was sapar (book) the malak (king) how he had chayah (restored) to chayah (life) him who was mawath (death), that behold, the ayashah (woman / wife), whose ban (son) he had restored to chayah (life), tzaiq (cried) to the malak (king) for her bayath (house) and for her shadah (land). Gayachazay (Gehazi) amar (spoke), “My Adawan (), O malak (king), this is the ayashah (woman / wife), and this is her ban (son), whom Alayashai (Elisha) restored to chayah (life).”
6 When the malak (king) shaal (asked) the ayashah (woman / wife), she sapar (book) him. So the malak (king) nathan (give) to her a achad (one) sarayas (officer), amar (said), “shawab (turn) all that was hers, and all the thabawaath (fruits) of the shadah (field) since the yawam (day) that she izab (left) the aratz (Earth/land), even until now.”
7 Alayashai (Elisha) bawaa (come) to Damashaq (Damascus); and Banahadad (Benhadad) the malak (king) of Aram (Syria) was chalah (afflict). It was nagad (told) him, amar (spoke), “The ayash (man / husband) of Alahayam () bawaa (come) come here.”
8 The malak (king) amar (spoke) to Chazaal (Hazael), “laqach (take / seize) a manachah (present) in your yad (hand), and yalak (go), qaraah (meet) the ayash (man / husband) of Alahayam (), and darash (inquire) of Yahawah () by him, amar (spoke), ‘Will I chayah (recover) from this chalay (sickness)?’”
9 So Chazaal (Hazael) yalak (went) to qaraah (meet) him, and laqach (take / seize) a manachah (present) with him, even of every tawab (good / proper function) thing of Damashaq (Damascus), arabaiyam (forty) gamal (camels)’ mashaa (burden), and bawaa (bring) and imad (stood) panayam (face) him, and amar (said), “Your ban (son) Banahadad (Benhadad) malak (king) of Aram (Syria) has shalach (send) me to you, amar (said), ‘Will I chayah (recover) from this chalay (sickness)?’”
10 Alayashai (Elisha) amar (spoke) to him, “yalak (go), amar (spoke) him, ‘You shall chayah (surely) chayah (recover);’ however Yahawah () raah (see) shown me that he shall mawath (death) mawath (death).”
11 He settled his gaze steadfastly on him, until he was bawash (ashamed). Then the ayash (man / husband) of Alahayam () bakah (wept).
12 Chazaal (Hazael) amar (spoke), “Why do you bakah (weep), my Adawan ()?” He amar (spoke), “Because I yadai (know) the rai (evil) that you will ishah (make) to the banay (children) of Yashar-Al (Israel). You will shalach (send) their strongholds on ash (fire), and you will harag (kill) their bachawar (young) men with the charab (sword), and will ratash (dash) in pieces their iwalal (little) ones, and baqai (rip) up their harah (women) with child.”
13 Chazaal (Hazael) amar (spoke), “But what is your ibad (servant), who is but a kalab (dog), that he should ishah (make) this gadawal (very great/important/mighty) thing?” Alayashai (Elisha) amar (spoke), “Yahawah () raah (see) shown me that you will be malak (king) over Aram (Syria).”
14 Then he departed from Alayashai (Elisha), and bawaa (bring) to his adawan (master / lord), who amar (said) to him, “What did Alayashai (Elisha) amar (said) to you?” He amar (said), “He amar (said) me that you would chayah (surely) chayah (recover).”
15 It happened on the next macharath (day), that he laqach (take / seize) a makabar (thick) cloth, tabal (dipped) it in mayam (Waters), and parash (spread) it on his panayam (face), so that he mawath (death). Then Chazaal (Hazael) malak (king) in his place.
16 In the chamash (fifth) shanah (year) of Yawaram (Joram) the ban (son) of Achaab (Ahab) malak (king) of Yashar-Al (Israel), Yahawashapat (Jehoshaphat) being malak (king) of Yahawadah (Yahawadah / Judah) then, Yahawaram (Jehoram) the ban (son) of Yahawashapat (Jehoshaphat) malak (king) of Yahawadah (Yahawadah / Judah) began to malak (king).

22 So Adawam (Edom) pashai (revolted) from under the yad (hand) of Yahawadah (Yahawadah / Judah) to this yawam (day). Then Labanah (Libnah) pashai (revolted) at the same ith (time).
23 The yathar (rest) of the dabaray (acts) of Yawaram (Joram), and all that he ishah (make), aren't they kathab (write) in the sapar (book / scribed document) of the dabaray (chronicles) of the malakay (kings) of Yahawadah (Yahawadah / Judah)?
