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.”

Ɛda bi, Elisa mfɛfoɔ adiyifoɔ no mu baako kunafoɔ baa ne nkyɛn, bɛsu kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Me kunu a na ɔsom wo no awu. Na wonim sɛdeɛ na ɔsuro Awurade. Nanso, seesei obi a mede no ka aba, rehunahuna sɛ, ɔbɛfa me mmammarima baanu sɛ nkoa.”

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.”

Elisa bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na mɛtumi ayɛ de aboa wo? Kyerɛ me nneɛma a wowɔ wɔ efie.” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Menni hwee sɛ ngo ahina baako.”

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

Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ “Kɔfɛm nhina dodoɔ biara a wobɛnya firi wo nnamfonom ne wo mfɛfoɔ nkyɛn.

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.”

Afei, fa wo mmammarima no kɔ wo fie, na to ɛpono mu. Hwie ngo no firi wʼahina no mu, gugu nhina no mu. Deɛ ɛbɛyɛ ma biara, yi si nkyɛn.”

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

Enti, ɔyɛɛ saa. Ne mmammarima no de nhina bebree brɛɛ no, ma ɔhyehyɛɛ no ma ma.

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

Ankyɛre na emu biara yɛɛ ma tɛnn. Ɔka kyerɛɛ ne mmammarima no mu baako sɛ, “Brɛ me ahina foforɔ.” Ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ebi nni hɔ bio.” Na afei ngo no a ɔrehwie no saeɛ.

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.”

Ɛberɛ a ɔkaa asɛm a asi no kyerɛɛ Onyankopɔn onipa no, ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Afei, tɔn ngo no, na fa tua wʼaka, na sika no bi bɛka ama wode ahwɛ wo ho ne wo mmammarima no.”

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.

Ɛda koro bi, Elisa kɔɔ Sunem kurom. Na ɔbaa ɔdefoɔ bi te kuro no mu. Ɔtoo nsa frɛɛ Elisa sɛ ɔmmɛdidi. Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, ɛberɛ biara a ɔbɛtwam hɔ no, ɔfa hɔ kɔdidi.

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

Ɔka kyerɛɛ ne kunu sɛ, “Megye di sɛ saa ɔbarima yi a ɔtaa ba ha yi yɛ Onyankopɔn onipa kronkron.

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.”

Ma yɛnsiesie ɛdan bi mma no wɔ ɛsoro hɔ na yɛmfa mpa, ɛpono, akonnwa ne kanea nsi mu mma no. Na ɛberɛ biara a ɔbɛba ha no, wanya baabi asoeɛ.”

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

Ɛda bi, Elisa sane baa Sunem. Ɔkɔɔ ne soro dan no mu kɔsoɛe.

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

Ɔka kyerɛɛ ne ɔsomfoɔ Gehasi sɛ, “Ka kyerɛ ɔbaa no sɛ, mepɛ sɛ meka asɛm bi kyerɛ no.” Ɔbaa no baeɛ no,

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.”

Elisa ka kyerɛɛ Gehasi sɛ, “Ka kyerɛ no sɛ, yɛn ani asɔ ne som pa a wasom yɛn no. Na bisa no deɛ yɛn so yɛbɛtumi ayɛ ama no. Ɔpɛ sɛ medi ne ho adanseɛ kyerɛ ɔhene anaa asraafoɔ sahene no?” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Dabi, ɛfiri sɛ, mʼabusuafoɔ hwɛ me yie.”

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

Akyire yi, Elisa bisaa Gehasi sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na wogye di sɛ yɛbɛtumi ayɛ ama no?” Ɔto maa no sɛ, “Ɔnni babarima na ne kunu nso abɔ akɔkoraa.”

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

Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Frɛ no bra bio.” Ɔbaa no baeɛ no, Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no wɔ ɛpono no ano sɛ,

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!”

“Afe sɛsɛɛ saa ɛberɛ yi ara mu, na ɔbabarima da wo srɛ so.” Ɔteaa mu sɛ, “Dabi, me wura, mesrɛ wo, ntwa me nkontompo saa. Ao, Onyankopɔn onipa.”

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

Na ampa ara, ɛberɛ tiawa bi akyi, ɔbaa no nyinsɛneeɛ. Na afe saa ɛberɛ no ara, ɔwoo ɔbabarima sɛdeɛ Elisa kaeɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ.

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

Ne ba no nyiniiɛ no, da bi, ɔkɔsraa nʼagya a na ɔne nʼapaafoɔ reyɛ adwuma.

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

Prɛko pɛ, ɔkaa sɛ, “Me ti pae me! Me ti pae me!” Nʼagya ka kyerɛɛ nʼapaafoɔ no mu baako sɛ, “Fa no kɔ efie kɔma ne maame.”

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

Ɔpaani no de no kɔɔ efie. Ne maame gyee no too ne srɛ so. Nanso, ɛduruu owigyinaeɛ mu no, ɔwuiɛ.

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

Ɔpagyaa no de no kɔtoo Onyankopɔn onipa no mpa so. Ɔtoo ɛpono no mu gyaa no hɔ kɔeɛ.

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

Ɔsomaa ɔbɔfoɔ kɔbɔɔ ne kunu amaneɛ sɛ, “Soma apaafoɔ no baako na ɔmfa afunumu mmra, sɛdeɛ mɛtumi akɔduru Onyankopɔn onipa no hɔ ntɛm, asane aba.”

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

Ɔbisaa sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wopɛ sɛ wokɔ ɛnnɛ yi ara? Ɛnyɛ Ɔbosome Foforɔ Afahyɛ, na ɛnyɛ homeda nso.” Nanso, ɔkaa sɛ, “Ɛwom saa.”

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

Enti, ɔhyehyɛɛ afunumu no, ka kyerɛɛ ɔpaani no sɛ, “Ka wo ho. Ɛnyɛ me enti na wobɛto wo bo ase, na mmom, kɔ ara, gye sɛ maka sɛ to wo bo ase.”

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!

Ɔrebɛduru Onyankopɔn onipa no nkyɛn wɔ bepɔ Karmel so no, Elisa hunuu no wɔ akyirikyiri. Ɔka kyerɛɛ Gehasi sɛ, “Hwɛ, ɔbaa a ɔfiri Sunam no reba.

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.”

Tu mmirika kɔhyia no, na bisa no sɛ, ‘Wo ne wo kunu ne wo ba ho yɛ anaa?’” Ɔbaa no buaa Gehasi sɛ, “Yɛn nyinaa ho yɛ.”

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.”

Nanso, ɔbaa Onyankopɔn onipa no nkyɛn wɔ bepɔ no so no, ɔhwee ne nan ase, sɔɔ nʼanammɔn mu. Gehasi sum no, nanso Onyankopɔn onipa no kaa sɛ, “Gyaa no. Biribi reteetee no, na Awurade nso nkyerɛɛ me dekodeɛ no.”

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

Na ɔbaa no kaa sɛ, “Wo ara me wura, wo na wokaa sɛ, mɛnya ɔbabarima. Na manka ankyerɛ wo sɛ mma memfa mʼani nto so?”

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.”

Na Elisa ka kyerɛɛ Gehasi sɛ, “Boa wo ho, na mensoma wo, fa me poma no, na kɔ. Nkasa obiara ho wɔ ɛkwan so. Kɔ na fa poma no kɔto abɔfra no anim.”

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.

Na abarimaa no maame kaa sɛ, “Mmerɛ dodoɔ a Awurade te ase, na wo nso wote ase yi, merenkɔ efie gye sɛ woka me ho.” Enti, Elisa sane ne no kɔeɛ.

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.”

Gehasi yɛɛ ntɛm dii ɛkan, de poma no kɔtoo abɔfra no anim, nanso biribiara ansi. Nkwa ho nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ biara amma. Ɔsane nʼakyi kɔhyiaa Elisa, bɔɔ no amaneɛ sɛ, “Abɔfra no nnyaneeɛ.”

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

Ɛberɛ a Elisa duruu hɔ no, ampa na abɔfra no awu da odiyifoɔ no mpa so.

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

Ɔno nko kɔɔ hɔ, too ne ho ɛpono mu, bɔɔ Awurade mpaeɛ.

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.

Afei, ɔbutuu abɔfra no so, de nʼano tuaa abɔfra no ano, de nʼani fam abɔfra no ani, de ne nsa sosɔɔ abɔfra no nsa. Afei, abɔfra no ho hyɛɛ aseɛ yɛɛ hye bio.

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

Elisa sɔre, dii akɔneaba wɔ ɛdan no mu kakra. Afei, ɔdaa abɔfra no so bio. Saa ɛberɛ yi, abɔfra no nwansii mprɛnson, na ɔtee nʼani.

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

Afei, Elisa somaa Gehasi sɛ, “Frɛ abɔfra no na bra.” Ne maame no baeɛ no, Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wo ba no nie, fa no kɔ.”

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

Ɔfiri ahodwirie mu hwee ne nan ase daa no ase. Afei, ɔfaa ne ba no, de no siane kɔɔ fam.

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.”

Elisa sane kɔɔ Gilgal, nanso na ɛkɔm asi asase no so. Ɛda bi a adiyifokuo tete nʼanim no, ɔka kyerɛɛ ne ɔsomfoɔ sɛ, “Fa ɛsɛn kɛseɛ si ogya so, na yɛ abɔmu ma saa mmarima yi.”

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.

Wɔn mu baako kɔɔ wiram sɛ ɔrekɔpɛ atosodeɛ, na ɔnyaa ɛferɛ bɔtɔ ma de baeɛ. Ɔtwitwa de guu ɛsɛn no mu a na ɔnnim sɛ awuduro wɔ mu.

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.

Na wɔdii kakra bi pɛ, wɔteateaam sɛ, “Onyankopɔn onipa, awuduro wɔ abɔmu no mu!” Ɛno enti, wɔanni bio.

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

Elisa kaa sɛ, “Mommrɛ me asikyiresiam kakra.” Ɔde guu ɛsɛn no mu, kaa sɛ, “Afei, ayɛ yie enti monkɔdi.” Na anha wɔn bio.

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.”

Ɛda bi, ɔbarima bi a ɔyɛ Baal-Salisani brɛɛ Onyankopɔn onipa no atokoɔ foforɔ bɔtɔ ma, ne burodo mua aduonu. Elisa kaa sɛ, “Fa ma adiyifokuo no, na wɔnni.”

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.’”

Ɔsomfoɔ no teaam sɛ, “Wose sɛn? Kakra yi na yɛmfa mma nnipa ɔha yi anaa?” Nanso, Elisa tii mu sɛ, “Fa ma adiyifokuo no, na wɔnni, na Awurade ka sɛ, ‘Obiara bɛdi amee, na ebi mpo bɛka akyire.’”

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

Na ampa ara, obiara didi meeɛ ma ebi mpo kaaeɛ, sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ ho bɔ no.
