Awo Mukama bwe yali ng’anaatera okutwala Eriya mu ggulu mu mbuyaga ey’amaanyi, nga Eriya ne Erisa bava e Girugaali,
2 Eliya anawuza Elisa kuti, “Iwe khala pano pakuti Yehova wandituma kuti ndipite ku Beteli.” Koma Elisa anati, “Pali Yehova wamoyo ndiponso pali inu nomwe, ineyo sindidzakusiyani.” Motero awiriwo anapita ku Beteli.
Eriya n’agamba Erisa nti, “Sigala wano, ŋŋende e BeseriMukama gy’antumye.” Naye Erisa n’amuddamu nti, “Mazima nga Mukama bw’ali omulamu, era nga nawe bw’oli omulamu, siireme kugenda naawe.” Awo ne baserengeta bonna e Beseri.
3 Ana a aneneri a ku Beteli anabwera kwa Elisa namufunsa kuti, “Kodi ukudziwa kuti lero Yehova akuchotsera mbuye wako?” Elisa anayankha kuti, “Inde ndikudziwa, koma musakambe zimenezi.”
Ekibiina ekya bannabbi abaali e Beseri ne bagenda eri Erisa ne bamugamba nti, “Okimanyi nga Mukama anaatwala mukama wo olwa leero?” Erisa n’abaddamu nti, “Nkimanyi, naye temukyogerako.”
4 Ndipo Eliya anati kwa Elisa, “Iwe khala pano pakuti Yehova wandituma kuti ndipite ku Yeriko.” Koma Elisa anayankha kuti, “Pali Yehova wamoyo ndiponso pali inu, ineyo sindidzakusiyani.” Motero awiriwo anapita ku Yeriko.
Eriya n’addamu omulundi ogwokubiri n’agamba Erisa nti, “Sigala wano, ŋŋende e Yeriko Mukama gy’antumye.” Naye Erisa n’amuddamu nti, “Mazima nga Mukama bw’ali omulamu, era nga nawe bw’oli omulamu, siireme kugenda naawe.” Awo ne bagenda bonna e Yeriko.
5 Ana a aneneri amene anali ku Yeriko anapita kwa Elisa, namufunsa kuti, “Kodi ukudziwa kuti lero Yehova akuchotsera mbuye wako?” Elisa anayankha kuti, “Inde ndikudziwa, koma inu musakambe zimenezi.”
Awo ekibiina ekya bannabbi abaali e Yeriko ne batuukirira Erisa ne bamugamba nti, “Okimanyi nga Mukama anaatwala mukama wo olwa leero?” Erisa n’abaddamu nti, “Weewaawo nkimanyi, naye temukyogerako.”
6 Ndipo Eliya anati kwa Elisa, “Iwe khala pano pakuti Yehova wandituma kuti ndipite ku Yorodani.” Elisa anayankha kuti, “Pali Yehova wamoyo ndiponso pali inu nomwe, ineyo sindidzakusiyani.” Motero awiriwo anapitirira ulendo wawo.
Eriya n’addamu nate n’amugamba nti, “Sigala wano, nserengete ku Yoludaani Mukama gy’antumye.” Naye Erisa n’amuddamu nti, “Mazima nga Mukama bw’ali omulamu, era nga nawe bw’oli omulamu, siireme kugenda naawe.” Awo ne batambula bombi.
7 Anthu makumi asanu mwa ana a aneneri anawatsatira nayima chapatali moyangʼanana nawo ndipo Eliya ndi Elisa anayima mʼmphepete mwa Yorodani.
Ne waba ekibiina kya bannabbi amakumi ataano abaali bayimiridde akabanga okuva Eriya ne Erisa we baali ku lubalama lw’omugga Yoludaani.
8 Eliya anatenga chovala chake nachipinda, napanda madzi ndi chovalacho. Madziwo anagawikana, ena kwina ena kwina, ndipo awiriwo anawoloka powuma.
Awo Eriya n’addira omunagiro gwe n’aguzinga wamu n’akuba amazzi ne gaawulibwamu, agamu ne gadda ku luuyi olwa ddyo n’amalala ku luuyi olwa kkono, bombi ne bayita ku lukalu.
9 Atawoloka, Eliya anati kwa Elisa, “Ndifotokozere, ndikuchitire chiyani ndisanachotsedwe pamaso pako?” Elisa anayankha kuti, “Ndikupemphani kuti mundipatse magawo awiri a mphamvu za mzimu wanu wa uneneri.”
Awo bwe baamala okusomoka, Eriya n’abuuza Erisa nti, “Kiki ky’oyagala nkukolere nga sinnaba kukuggyibwako?” Erisa n’amuddamu nti, “Nkusaba, nsikire emigabo ebiri egy’Omwoyo akuliko.”
10 Eliya anati, “Wapempha chinthu chapatali, komabe ukandiona pamene ndikuchotsedwa pamaso pako, mphamvu wapemphayi idzakhala yako, koma ukapanda kundiona sizidzachitika.”
N’amugamba nti, “Ky’osabye kigambo kizibu, naye bw’onondaba nga ntwalibwa, kale kinaaba nga bw’osabye, naye bw’otondabe tekiibe bwe kityo.”
11 Akuyenda ndi kumakambirana, mwadzidzidzi galeta lamoto ndi akavalo amoto anaonekera ndi kuwasiyanitsa awiriwo, ndipo Eliya anapita kumwamba mʼkamvuluvulu.
Awo bwe baali batambula nga bwe banyumya bokka na bokka, ne walabika eggaali ey’omuliro n’embalaasi ez’omuliro ne zibaawula, era mu kiseera kye kimu Eriya n’atwalibwa mu ggulu mu mbuyaga ey’amaanyi.
12 Elisa anaona zimenezi ndipo anafuwula kuti, “Abambo anga! Abambo anga! Magaleta a Israeli ndi anthu ake okwera pa akavalo!” Ndipo Elisa sanamuonenso Eliyayo. Pamenepo Elisa anagwira zovala zake nazingʼamba pakati.
Awo Erisa bwe yalaba ekyo, n’ayogerera waggulu nti, “Kitange, Kitange, amagaali n’abeebagala embalaasi aba Isirayiri!” Erisa n’ataddamu kumulaba nate. N’addira engoye ze yali ayambadde, n’aziyuzaayuza.
13 Iye anatola chovala cha Eliya chomwe chinagwa nabwerera ndi kukayima mʼmphepete mwa Yorodani.
Waaliwo omunagiro ogwali gusuulibbwa Eriya ng’atwalibwa mu ggulu, era ogwo Erisa gwe yalonda n’addayo ku mugga Yoludaani n’ayimirira ku lubalama lw’omugga.
14 Ndipo Elisa anatenga chovala chomwe chinagwa kuchokera kwa Eliya napanda nacho madzi. Iye anafunsa kuti, “Ali kuti Mulungu wa Eliya?” Atapanda madzi, madziwo anagawika pakati, ena kwina ena kwina, ndipo iye anawoloka.
N’addira omunagiro gwe yali alonze n’aguzinga n’akuba amazzi n’ayogera nti, “Kaakano Mukama, Katonda wa Eriya ali luuyi wa?” Bwe yakuba amazzi ne geeyawulamu, agamu ne gadda ku luuyi olwa ddyo n’amalala ku luuyi olwa kkono, n’asomoka.
15 Ndipo ana a aneneri ochokera ku Yeriko atamuona anati, “Mzimu wa Eliya wakhazikika pa Elisa.” Ndipo anapita kukakumana naye nagwada ndi kuweramitsa mitu yawo pansi pamaso pake.
Awo ekibiina ekya bannabbi abaali mu Yeriko ne bayogera nti, “Omwoyo wa Eriya ali ku Erisa.” Ne bagenda okumusisinkana ne bamuvuunamira.
16 Ndipo anawuza Elisa kuti, “Ife atumiki anu tili ndi anthu amphamvu makumi asanu. Aloleni apite kuti akafunefune mbuye wanu. Mwina Mzimu wa Yehova wamutenga ndi kukamuponya ku phiri lina kapena ku chigwa china.” Elisa anayankha kuti, “Ayi, musawatume.”
Ne bamugamba nti, “Laba, ffe abaddu bo tulina abasajja abazira amakumi ataano. Bagende banoonye mukama wo, osanga Omwoyo wa Mukama amututte n’amuteeka ku bumu ku busozi oba mu kiwonvu.” Erisa n’abaddamu nti, “Temutawaana, era temubatuma.”
17 Koma anamukakamizabe mpaka Elisayo anachita manyazi moti sakanatha kukana. Choncho iye anati, “Atumizeni.” Ndipo anatumiza anthu makumi asanu amene anakafunafuna Eliya kwa masiku atatu koma sanamupeze.
Naye bwe baamuwaliriza, n’atendewalirwa, n’abagamba nti, “Kale, mubatume.” Awo ne batuma abasajja amakumi ataano, ne banoonya okumala ennaku ssatu naye ne batamulaba.
18 Atabwerera kwa Elisa (chifukwa anali akanali ku Yeriko), iye anawawuza kuti, “Kodi sindinakuwuzeni kuti musapite?”
Bwe bakomawo gy’ali mu Yeriko, n’abagamba nti, “Saabalabudde obutagenda?”
19 Anthu a mu mzindamo anati kwa Elisa, “Mbuye wathu, taonani mzinda uno uli pamalo pabwino, monga mukuoneramu, koma madzi ake ndi oyipa, nthaka yakenso ndi yosabereka.”
Awo abasajja ab’omu kibuga ne bagenda eri Erisa ne bamugamba nti, “Mukama waffe, ekibuga kino kiri mu kifo kirungi, nga nawe bw’olaba, naye amazzi gaamu mabi, era n’ensi si njimu.”
20 Iye anati, “Patseni mbale yatsopano ndipo muyikemo mchere.” Ndipo anabweretsa mbaleyo kwa iye.
N’abagamba nti, “Mundeetere ebbakuli empya nga mutaddemu omunnyo.” Ne bagimuleetera.
21 Kenaka Elisa anapita ku kasupe wa madziwo, nathiramo mchere mʼkasupemo nati, “Yehova akuti, ‘Ndachiritsa madzi awa. Madzi amenewa sadzabweretsanso imfa kapena kuchititsa kuti nthaka ikhale yosabereka.’”
N’aserengeta ku nsulo ey’amazzi, n’ayiwamu omunnyo, n’ayogera nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Nnoongosezza amazzi gano era tegakyaddamu kuleeta kufa wadde okufuula ensi obutaba njimu.’”
22 Kotero madziwo ndi abwino mpaka lero, molingana ndi mawu amene Elisa anayankhula.
Amazzi ne galongooka, ng’ekigambo kya Mukama kye yayogerera mu Erisa bwe kyali, n’okutuusa ku lunaku lwa leero.
23 Kuchokera kumeneko Elisa anapita ku Beteli. Ndipo pamene ankayenda mu msewu, anyamata ena achichepere anatuluka mu mzindamo nʼkumamuseka. Iwo ankanena kuti, “Choka iwe, wachidazi! Choka iwe wachidazi”
Erisa bwe yava eyo n’akwata ekkubo erigenda e Beseri. Naye ng’ali mu kkubo, n’asisinkana abavubuka ab’omu kibuga ekyo ne bamusekerera nga bwe boogera nti, “Mulabe ow’ekiwalaata! Mulabe ow’ekiwalaata!”
24 Iye anatembenuka nawayangʼana ndipo anawatemberera mʼdzina la Yehova. Nthawi yomweyo panatulukira zimbalangondo ziwiri kuchokera kuthengo, ndi kuphapo anyamata 42.
N’akyuka n’abatunuulira, n’abakolimira mu linnya lya Mukama. Awo ebisolo ebinene bibiri eby’ekika eky’eddubu ne biva mu kibira ne bitaagulataagula abavubuka amakumi ana mu babiri ku bo.
25 Ndipo iye anapita ku phiri la Karimeli. Pochoka kumeneko anabwerera ku Samariya.
Ne yeeyongerayo n’alaga ku Lusozi Kalumeeri, oluvannyuma n’addayo e Samaliya.
