2 Athamaki 4

1 Na rĩrĩ, mũtumia wa mũndũ ũmwe wa thiritũ ya anabii agĩkaĩra Elisha, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndungata yaku, mũthuuri wakwa, nĩakuĩte, na wee nĩũũĩ atĩ araarĩ mwĩtigĩri Jehova. No rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũrĩa araarĩ na thiirĩ wake nĩarooka kũiyĩra tũmwana twakwa tweerĩ tũtuĩke ngombo ciake.”

Awo olwatuuka ne wabaawo nnamwandu, eyali afumbiddwa omu ku abo abaali mu kibiina kya bannabbi, n’agenda eri Erisa ng’akaaba n’amugamba nti, “Omuddu wo, baze yafa, era omanyi nga omuddu wo yatyanga Mukama. Naye kaakano eyali amubanja azze, ng’ayagala okutwala batabani bange okubafuula abaddu be.”

2 Elisha akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ingĩhota gũgũteithia atĩa? Ta njĩĩra atĩrĩ, nĩ kĩĩ ũrĩ nakĩo nyũmba gwaku?” Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndungata yaku ndĩrĩ na kĩndũ o nakĩ, tiga o tũguta tũnini.”

Erisa n’amuddamu nti, “Oyagala nkuyambe ntya? Ntegeeza, olina ki mu nnyumba?” N’amugamba nti, “Omuweereza wo ky’alinawo kyokka mu nnyumba twe tufuta otutono ennyo.”

3 Elisha akiuga atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ kũrĩ andũ a itũũra rĩaku othe ũhooe ndigithũ itarĩ kĩndũ. Ũhooe ndigithũ nyingĩ.

Erisa n’amugamba nti, “Genda mu baliraanwa bo bonna obeeyazikeko ebintu ebyereere, nga bingi ddala.

4 Ũcooke ũtoonye nyũmba yaku thĩinĩ hamwe na ariũ aku, na ũhinge mũrango. Ũitĩrĩre maguta ndigithũ-inĩ icio ciothe, na o ĩrĩa yaiyũra ũkamĩiga mwena-inĩ.”

Oyingire mu nnyumba yo weggaliremu ggwe ne batabani bo, ottululire amafuta mu bintu ebyo byonna, ng’ekijjula ky’ossa wa bbali.”

5 Nake akĩmũtiga, na thuutha ũcio mũtumia ũcio akĩĩhingĩra nyũmba hamwe na ariũ ake. Nao makamũrehagĩra ndigithũ, nake agĩthiĩ na mbere gũitĩrĩra maguta.

Bwe yava waali n’addayo eka ne yeggalira mu nnyumba ye n’abaana be. Ne bamuleetera ebita nga ye bw’attulula.

6 Rĩrĩa ndigithũ ciothe ciaiyũrire, akĩĩra mũriũ atĩrĩ, “Ndehere ndigithũ ĩngĩ.” No mũriũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Hatirĩ ndigithũ ĩngĩ ĩtigarĩte.” Namo maguta magĩthira.

Ebintu byonna ebyali awo bwe byajjula, n’agamba omu ku batabani be nti, “Ndeetera ekintu ekirala.” Naye n’amuddamu nti, “Biweddeyo.” Awo amafuta ne gakoma.

7 Agĩthiĩ akĩĩra mũndũ wa Ngai ũhoro ũcio, nake akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ wendie maguta ũrĩhe mathiirĩ maku. We na ariũ aku-rĩ, mũtũũrio nĩ kĩrĩa gĩgũtigara.”

Amangwago nnamwandu n’addayo ew’omusajja wa Katonda. Omusajja wa Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Genda otunde amafuta ago, osasule amabanja go, ebinaafikkawo bikuliisenga ggwe ne batabani bo.”

8 Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũmwe Elisha agĩthiĩ Shunemu, na kũu nĩ kwarĩ na mũtumia warĩ mũtongu, ũrĩa wamũringĩrĩirie mathiĩ gwake akarĩe irio. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio rĩrĩa rĩothe aahĩtũkagĩra hau nĩatoonyaga kuo akarĩa irio.

Awo olwatuuka Erisa n’agenda e Sunemu. Mu Sunemu mwalimu omukazi nnaggagga, eyamwegayirira alye ku mmere ey’omu nnyumba ye. Awo olwatuuka, buli lwe yayitangawo, n’akyamira eyo okulya ku mmere.

9 Mũtumia ũcio akĩĩra mũthuuriwe atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjũũĩ atĩ mũndũ ũyũ ũhĩtũkagĩra gũkũ gwitũ kaingĩ nĩ mũndũ mũtheru wa Ngai.

Omukazi n’agamba bba nti, “Laba kimbikkuliddwa nti oyo musajja wa Katonda, atera okuyitira wano.

10 Reke twake kanyũmba kanini nyũmba-igũrũ na tũige gĩtanda, na metha, na gĩtĩ, na tawa nĩ ũndũ wake. Nĩgeetha aikarage ho rĩrĩa ooka gũkũ gwitũ.”

Kale nno katumutegekere ekisenge waggulu, tumuteekereyo ekitanda n’emmeeza, n’entebe, n’ettabaaza by’anaakozesanga ng’azze okutukyalira.”

11 Mũthenya ũmwe rĩrĩa Elisha ookire-rĩ, akĩambata kanyũmba-inĩ gake na agĩkoma kuo.

Lumu, Erisa n’akyalayo, n’agenda mu kisenge kye, n’awummulirako eyo.

12 Akĩĩra Gehazi ndungata yake atĩrĩ, “Ĩta mũtumia ũcio Mũshunami.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmwĩta nake akĩrũgama mbere yake.

N’agamba omuweereza we Gekazi nti, “Yita Omusunammu oyo.” N’amuyita, n’ajja n’ayimirira mu maaso ge.

13 Elisha akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ĩra mũtumia ũcio atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩwĩthĩnĩtie mũno nĩ ũndũ witũ. Na rĩrĩ, ũngĩenda gwĩkĩrwo atĩa? No tũkwarĩrĩrie harĩ mũthamaki kana harĩ mũnene wa mbũtũ ya ita?’” Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndirĩ na thĩĩna, ndũũranagia na andũ aitũ.”

Erisa n’agamba Gekazi nti, “Mugambe nti, ‘Otulabiridde bulungi nnyo. Kaakano kiki kyewandyagadde kikukolerwe? Wandyagadde tukwogerere eri Kabaka oba ew’omuduumizi w’eggye ku nsonga yonna?’” N’amuddamu nti, “Mbeera mu bantu bange.”

14 Ningĩ Elisha akĩũria Gehazi atĩrĩ, “Mũtumia ũyũ angĩĩkĩrwo atĩa?” Gehazi akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndarĩ mwana wa kahĩĩ, na mũthuuriwe nĩ mũkũrũ.”

Erisa n’abuuza Gekazi nti, “Kiki ekiba kimukolerwa?” Gekazi n’addamu nti, “Laba talina mwana, ate ng’akaddiye.”

15 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Elisha akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwĩte.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Gehazi akĩmwĩta, nake mũtumia ũcio akĩrũgama mũromo-inĩ.

Erisa n’amugamba nti, “Muyite.” Bwe yamuyita, n’ajja n’ayimirira mu mulyango.

16 Nake Elisha akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ihinda ta rĩĩrĩ mwaka ũyũ ũgũũka-rĩ, nĩũkanyiita mwana waku wa kahĩĩ na moko maku.” Nake akĩrega, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Aca, mwathi wakwa, tiga kũheenia ndungata yaku, wee mũndũ wa Ngai!”

Erisa n’amugamba nti, “Omwaka ogujja, mu biro ng’ebya kaakano oliwambaatira omwana owoobulenzi.” Omukyala n’amuddamu nti, “Nedda mukama wange, tolimba muweereza wo, ayi omusajja wa Katonda.”

17 No rĩrĩ, mũtumia ũcio akĩgĩa nda, na mwaka ũcio ũngĩ ihinda o ta rĩu agĩciara kahĩĩ, o ta ũrĩa Elisha aamwĩrĩte.

Naye oluvannyuma omukazi n’aba olubuto, era omwaka ogwaddirira mu biro bye bimu, n’azaala omwana wabulenzi, nga Erisa bwe yali amugambye.

18 Mwana ũcio agĩkũra, na mũthenya ũmwe akiumagara, agĩthiĩ kũrĩ ithe, ũrĩa warĩ hamwe na agethi.

Omwana n’akula, naye olunaku lumu n’addukira ewa kitaawe eyali mu nnimiro n’abakunguzi.

19 Nake akĩĩra ithe atĩrĩ, “Wũi mũtwe-ĩ! Wũi mũtwe-ĩ!” Nake ithe akĩĩra ndungata atĩrĩ, “Mũkuue ũmũtwarĩre nyina.”

N’amutegeeza nti, “Omutwe gunnuma, omutwe gunnuma!” Kitaawe n’agamba omu ku baddu be nti, “Mutwalire maama we.”

20 Na thuutha wa ndungata kũmũkuua na kũmũtwarĩra nyina-rĩ, mwana ũcio agĩikara magũrũ-inĩ ma nyina nginya mĩaraho, agĩcooka agĩkua.

Awo omuddu n’amusitula n’amutwala eri nnyina, omwana n’atuula ku mubiri gwa nnyina okutuusa essaawa ey’omu ttuntu n’oluvannyuma n’afa.

21 Nyina agĩthiĩ, akĩmũkomia ũrĩrĩ-inĩ wa mũndũ wa Ngai, agĩcooka akĩhinga mũrango, agĩthiĩ.

Nnyina n’asitula omulambo gwe, n’agutwala waggulu n’aguteeka ku kitanda eky’omusajja wa Katonda, n’afuluma, n’aggalawo oluggi.

22 Nake agĩĩta mũthuuriwe, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndagũthaitha ũndũmĩre ndungata ĩmwe na ndigiri, nĩguo thiĩ kũrĩ mũndũ wa Ngai na ihenya na njooke.”

N’atumira bba ng’agamba nti, “Mpayo omuddu omu n’endogoyi emu ŋŋende mangu ew’omusajja wa Katonda, nkomewo.”

23 Nake akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũgũthiĩ kũrĩ we ũmũthĩ nĩkĩ, na ti Karũgamo ka Mweri kana Thabatũ?” Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Hatirĩ na thĩĩna.”

N’amubuuza nti, “Kiki ekikutwala gy’ali leero? Si lunaku lwa mwezi ogwakaboneka wadde olwa Ssabbiiti.” Omukazi n’amuddamu nti, “Teweeraliikirira, kiri bulungi.”

24 Agĩtandĩka ndigiri, na akĩĩra ndungata yake atĩrĩ, “Tengʼeria ndigiri, na ndũgaathiĩ kahora tiga ngwĩrire.”

Ne yeebagala endogoyi, n’agamba omuddu we nti, “Ggwe kulemberamu, totta ku bigere wabula nga nkugambye.”

25 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩambĩrĩria rũgendo, agĩkinya kũrĩ mũndũ wa Ngai Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Karimeli. Nake mũndũ wa Ngai rĩrĩa aamuonire arĩ o haraihu akĩĩra ndungata yake Gehazi atĩrĩ, “Ta cũthĩrĩria! Ũũrĩa nĩ mũtumia ũrĩa Mũshunami!

Ne basitula, n’agenda eri omusajja wa Katonda ku Lusozi Kalumeeri. Omusajja wa Katonda bwe yamuleengera ng’akyali walako, n’agamba omuddu we Gekazi nti, “Laba, Omusunammu wuuli!

26 Hanyũka ũmũtũnge na ũmũũrie atĩrĩ, ‘Wee ũrĩ mwega? Ĩ mũthuuri waku no mwega? Mwana waku no mwega?’” Nake mũtumia ũcio akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Maũndũ mothe nĩ mega.”

Dduka omusisinkane omubuuze nti, ‘Oli bulungi ne balo ali bulungi? Ate omwana?’” Omukazi n’amuddamu nti, “Kiri bulungi.”

27 Mũtumia ũcio aakinya harĩ mũndũ wa Ngai kĩrĩma-inĩ, akĩmũnyiita magũrũ. Nake Gehazi agĩũka kũmweheria, no mũndũ wa Ngai akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tigana nake! Arĩ na ruo rũnene mũno ngoro, no Jehova nĩahithĩte ũhoro ũyũ akaaga kũũmenyithia gĩtũmi kĩa guo.”

Bwe yatuuka okumpi n’olusozi awaali omusajja wa Katonda, n’agwa wansi ne yeenyweza ku bigere by’omusajja wa Katonda. Amangwago Gekazi n’ajja ng’ayagala okumugobawo, naye omusajja wa Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Muleke! Kubanga ali mu nnaku nnyingi nnyo, ate nga Mukama tannambikkulira nsonga, wadde okugintegeeza.”

28 Nake mũtumia ũcio akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee mwathi wakwa, nĩndakũũrĩtie ũhe kahĩĩ? Githĩ ndiakwĩrire, ‘Ndũkarahũre mwĩhoko wakwa’?”

Omukazi n’alyoka ayogerera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Nakusaba omwana, mukama wange? Saakugamba obutansuubiza ekisukkiridde?”

29 Nake Elisha akĩĩra Gehazi atĩrĩ, “Wĩohe mũcibi njohero na ũkuue rũthanju rwakwa na guoko, ũhanyũke. Ũngĩcemania na mũndũ o wothe ndũkamũgeithie, na mũndũ o wothe angĩkũgeithia ndũkamũcookerie. Ũthiĩ ũigĩrĩre rũthanju rwakwa ũthiũ-inĩ wa kamwana kau.”

Erisa n’agamba Gekazi nti, “Weesibe ekimyu, okwate omuggo gwange otambule mangu nnyo nga bw’osobola. Bw’onoosisinkana omuntu yenna mu kkubo tomulamusa, ate bw’akulamusa tomwanukula. Ddira omuggo gwange ogugalamize ku kyenyi ky’omwana.”

30 Nowe nyina wa mwana akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo, na o ta ũrĩa wee ũtũũraga muoyo-rĩ, niĩ ndigũgũtiga.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Elisha agĩũkĩra, akĩmũrũmĩrĩra.

Naye nnyina w’omwana n’agamba nti, “Nga Mukama bw’ali omulamu, era nga naawe bw’oli omulamu, sijja kukuleka mabega.” Erisa n’asituka n’amugoberera.

31 Na rĩrĩ, Gehazi agĩthiĩ arĩ mbere yao, akĩigĩrĩra rũthanju ũthiũ-inĩ wa kahĩĩ kau, no gatiagambire kana kwĩnyagunyia. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Gehazi akĩhũndũka agatũnge Elisha, na akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Kamwana gatiinokĩra.”

Gekazi ye n’abakulemberamu, n’agenda n’ateeka omuggo ku kyenyi ky’omulenzi, naye ne wataba kanyego newaakubadde okuddamu. Amangwago Gekazi n’addayo n’asisinkana Erisa, n’amutegeeza nti, “Omwana tagolokose.”

32 Rĩrĩa Elisha aakinyire nyũmba, agĩkora kamwana gakomete gĩtanda-inĩ gĩake karĩ gakuũ.

Awo Erisa n’atuuka ku nnyumba, n’agenda butereevu mu kisenge gye yasanga omulambo gw’omwana nga gugalamiziddwa ku kitanda kye.

33 Nake agĩtoonya thĩinĩ, akĩĩhingĩra na mũrango marĩ o eerĩ nako, akĩhooya Jehova.

N’ayingira ekisenge, ne yeggalirayo, n’atandika okusaba Mukama.

34 Ningĩ akĩhaica ũrĩrĩ, agĩkomera kamwana kau, kanua gwa kanua, maitho kwa maitho, na moko kwa moko. Na rĩrĩa eetambũrũkĩtie igũrũ rĩako, mwĩrĩ wa kamwana kau ũkĩgĩa ũrugarĩ.

N’alinnya waggulu ku kitanda n’agalamira ku mulambo, omumwa ku mumwa, amaaso ku maaso, n’emikono ku mikono eby’omulambo. Mu kiseera ekyo ng’akyagugalamiddeko ne gutandika okubuguumirira.

35 Nake Elisha agĩũkĩra, akĩehera, akĩũrũũranga kanyũmba thĩinĩ, agĩcooka gĩtanda-inĩ, agĩĩtambũrũkia rĩngĩ igũrũ rĩako. Kamwana kau gagĩathimũra maita mũgwanja, na gakĩhingũra maitho.

Erisa n’ayimuka, n’atambulatambula mu kisenge, n’oluvannyuma n’addamu n’agalamira ku mulambo. Omulenzi n’ayasimula emirundi musanvu, omulenzi n’azibula amaaso ge.

36 Nake Elisha agĩĩta Gehazi, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ĩta mũtumia ũcio Mũshunami.” Nake akĩmwĩta. Rĩrĩa mũtumia ookire-rĩ, Elisha akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Oya mũrũguo.”

Awo Erisa n’ayita Gekazi n’amugamba nti, “Yita Omusunammu oyo.” N’amuyita. Omusunammu bwe yajja n’amugamba nti, “Situla omwana wo.”

37 Nake agĩtoonya, akĩĩgũithia thĩ magũrũ-inĩ make, akĩinamia ũthiũ thĩ. Agĩcooka akĩoya mwana wake, akiuma.

Omukazi n’ayingira, n’avuunama ku bigere bya Erisa, n’asitula omwana we n’afuluma.

38 Nake Elisha agĩcooka Giligali, nakuo kũu bũrũri-inĩ ũcio nĩ kwarĩ na ngʼaragu. Rĩrĩa thiritũ ya anabii yacemanagia nake, akĩĩra ndungata yake atĩrĩ, “Hagĩra nyũngũ nene ũrugĩre andũ aya irio.”

Oluvannyuma, Erisa ng’azeeyo e Girugaali, ate nga mu kiseera kye kimu enjala egudde mu nsi, ekibiina kya bannabbi ne bakuŋŋaanira ewuwe. N’agamba omuweereza we nti, “Abaana ba bannabbi bafumbireyo enva mu ntamu ennene.”

39 Hĩndĩ ĩyo ũmwe wa anabii agĩthiĩ mũgũnda gwetha nyeni, agĩkora rũũngũ rwa gĩthaka. Agĩtua maciaro maruo, akĩmaiyũria ruuno-inĩ rwa nguo yake ya igũrũ. Acooka akĩmatinangĩria nyũngũ-inĩ ĩyo yarugaga irio, o na gũtuĩka gũtirĩ mũndũ wamenyire ciarĩ kĩĩ.

Omu ku bo n’alaga mu nnimiro n’anoga amaboga, n’alaba n’omuzabbibu ogw’omu nsiko, n’anoga ku bibala byagwo ebiwera, n’assa mu lugoye lwe. N’addayo n’abisalirasalira mu ntamu ey’enva. Teyamanya nga bye yanoga birimu akabi.

40 Andũ acio makĩihũrĩrwo irio icio, no rĩrĩa maambĩrĩirie gũcirĩa-rĩ, magĩkaya makiuga atĩrĩ, “Wũi mũndũ wa Ngai, nyũngũ-inĩ ĩno he na gĩkuũ!” Nao makĩremwo nĩ gũcirĩa.

Buli muntu ne bamusenera ku nva; naye bwe baaziryako, ne bayogerera waggulu nti, “Omusajja wa Katonda mu ntamu mulimu okufa.” Ne batazirya.

41 Nake Elisha akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rehei mũtu.” Nake akĩwĩkĩra nyũngũ-inĩ ĩyo, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ihũrĩra andũ marĩe.” Na hakĩaga kĩndũ kĩngĩmathũkia irio-inĩ icio.

Erisa n’agamba nti, “Mundeetereyo obuwunga.” Ne babumuleetera n’abuteeka mu ntamu y’enva, n’abagamba nti, “Mugabule abantu balye.” Ne wataba kabi mu ntamu y’enva.

42 Na rĩrĩ, hagĩũka mũndũ oimĩte Baali-Shalisha, akĩrehera mũndũ wa Ngai mĩgate mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ ya cairi, ĩrĩa yarugĩtwo na maciaro ma mbere ma ngano, na igira cia ngano ya mũgethano. Nake Elisha akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mĩnengere andũ marĩe.”

Waaliwo omusajja eyava e Baalusalisa, n’aleetera omusajja wa Katonda emigaati egya sayiri kumi n’ebiri nga mmere ey’okubibala ebibereberye, ate era n’amuleetera n’ebirimba eby’eŋŋaano embisi. Erisa n’agamba omuweereza we nti, “Bigabire abantu babirye.”

43 Nayo ndungata yake ĩkĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ndaahota atĩa kũhe andũ igana rĩmwe mĩgate ĩno?” No Elisha akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mĩnengere andũ marĩe. Nĩgũkorwo Jehova ekuuga ũũ: ‘Mekũrĩa na matigie.’”

Omuweereza we n’amuddamu nti, “Bino mbigabula ntya abantu ekikumi?”

44 Nake akĩnengera andũ, makĩrĩa na ĩgĩtigara, kũringana na kiugo kĩa Jehova.

Naye Erisa n’amuddamu nti, “Bigabire abantu babirye, kubanga bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Banaalya ne bibalemeranawo.’” N’abibagabula, ne balya, ne bibalemeranawo, ng’ekigambo kya Mukama bwe kyali.
