1 Na rĩrĩ, thiritũ ya anabii ĩkĩĩra Elisha atĩrĩ, “Rora, handũ haha tũgomanaga nawe nĩ hanini mũno.
Awo ekibiina kya bannabbi ne bagamba Erisa nti, “Laba, ekifo we tukuŋŋaanira wafunda nnyo.
2 Twĩtĩkĩrie tũthiĩ Jorodani, o mũndũ witũ akuue ĩtugĩ kuo; na ũtwĩtĩkĩrie twake handũ ha gũtũũraga kũu.” Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi.”
Leka tulage ku lubalama lwa Yoludaani, buli omu ku ffe atemeyo omuti gumu, twezimbire ekifo ekigazi mwe tuyinza okubeera.” N’abagamba nti, “Mugende.”
3 Ningĩ ũmwe wao akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndagũthaitha wĩtĩkĩre gũthiĩ na ndungata ciaku.” Nake Elisha agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, nĩtũgũthiĩ na inyuĩ.”
Awo omu ku bo n’amubuuza nti, “Toogende n’abaddu bo?” N’addamu nti, “Nzija kugenda nammwe.”
4 Nake Elisha agĩthiĩ hamwe nao. Nao magĩthiĩ Jorodani na makĩambĩrĩria gũtema mĩtĩ.
N’agenda nabo. Ne baserengeta ne balaga ku Yoludaani, ne batandika okutema emiti.
5 Na rĩrĩa ũmwe wao aatemaga mũtĩ-rĩ, ithanwa rĩkĩgũa maaĩ-inĩ. Nake agĩkaya, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwathi wakwa, riuma rĩa kũhooya!”
Naye omu ku bo bwe yali ng’atema omuti, omutwe gw’embazzi ye ne gusowokamu ne gugwa mu mazzi, n’ayogerera waggulu nti, “Ayi mukama wange, nagyeyazise bweyazisi!”
6 Nake mũndũ wa Ngai akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Rĩagũa ha?” Na rĩrĩa aamuonirie handũ hau, Elisha agĩtinia kamũtĩ, agĩgaikia ho, narĩo ithanwa rĩkĩrera maaĩ igũrũ.
Awo omusajja wa Katonda n’amubuuza nti, “Yagudde wa?” Bwe yamulaga ekifo, Erisa n’atema akati, n’akakanyuga mu kifo ekyo, ekyuma ne kiva wansi ne kiseeyeeya kungulu ku mazzi.
7 Nake akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Oya ithanwa.” Nake mũndũ ũcio agĩtambũrũkia guoko, akĩrĩoya.
Erisa n’amugamba nti, “Giggyeemu.” Omusajja n’agiggyamu.
8 Na rĩrĩ, mũthamaki wa Suriata aarĩ na mbaara na andũ a Isiraeli. Thuutha wa kũrĩkanĩra na anene ake, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ngwamba kambĩ handũ hana na hana.”
Awo olwatuuka kabaka wa Busuuli yali atabadde Isirayiri, ne yeebuza ku baserikale be ng’agamba nti, “Kifo ki mwe ndikuba olusiisira lwange?”
9 Mũndũ wa Ngai agĩtũmana kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wĩhũũge, na ndũkagerere handũ hana tondũ andũ a Suriata nĩho maraikũrũkĩra.”
Naye mu kiseera kye kimu omusajja wa Katonda n’aweereza kabaka wa Isirayiri obubaka nti, “Weegendereze obutayita mu kifo gundi, kubanga Abasuuli bajja kubeerayo.”
10 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩtũma andũ magatuĩrie ũhoro wa handũ hau mũndũ wa Ngai aarĩtie ũhoro waho. Mahinda maingĩ Elisha nĩeragĩra mũthamaki wa Isiraeli kũndũ kũrĩa aagĩrĩirwo nĩ kwĩmenyerera, nake agaikaraga ehũũgĩte.
Awo kabaka wa Isirayiri n’atuma bakebere mu kifo ekyo omusajja wa Katonda kye yayogerako. Era bulijjo Erisa yamulabulanga, kabaka n’awona si mulundi gumu so si ebiri.
11 Ũndũ ũcio ũkĩrakaria mũthamaki wa Suriata mũno. Nake agĩĩta anene ake na akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ngwenda kũmenya kuuma kũrĩ inyuĩ ũũ, nũũ witũ ũrĩ mwena wa mũthamaki wa Isiraeli?”
Ekyo kyanyiiza nnyo kabaka wa Busuuli, era n’ayita abaserikale be, n’ababuuza nti, “Muntegeeze, ani mu ffe ali ku ludda lwa kabaka wa Isirayiri?”
12 Nake ũmwe wa anene ake akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki mwathi wakwa, gũtirĩ o na ũmwe witũ ũrĩ mwena wake. No rĩrĩ, Elisha ũrĩa mũnabii kũu Isiraeli nĩwe wĩraga mũthamaki wa Isiraeli ciugo nginya iria waragia ũrĩ nyũmba yaku ya toro.”
Omu ku bo n’amuddamu nti, “Tewali n’omu ku ffe mukama wange kabaka, naye Erisa nnabbi ali mu Isirayiri, y’ategeeza kabaka wa Isirayiri, ebigambo by’oyogerera mu kisenge kyo.”
13 Nake mũthamaki agĩathana, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũgatuĩrie kũrĩa arĩ, nĩguo ndũme andũ mamũnyiite.” Nake mũthamaki agĩcookerio ũhoro akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “Elisha arĩ Dothani.”
Kabaka n’alagira nti, “Mugende mulabe w’ali, ndyoke ntume abasajja bamukwate.” Ne bakomyawo obubaka nti, “Ali mu Dosani.”
14 Nake mũthamaki agĩtũma mbarathi na ngaari cia ita, na mbũtũ yarĩ na hinya kũu. Igĩthiĩ ũtukũ, ikĩrigiicĩria itũũra rĩu.
Amangwago n’asindika embalaasi, n’amagaali, n’eggye ery’amaanyi, ne bajja mu kiro ne bazingiza ekibuga.
15 Na rĩrĩa ndungata ya mũndũ wa Ngai yokĩrire, ĩkiuma nja rũciinĩ tene, ĩkĩona atĩ mbũtũ ya ita, na mbarathi, na ngaari cia ita nĩciarigiicĩirie itũũra. Nayo ndungata ĩkĩũria atĩrĩ, “Wũi, mwathi wakwa-ĩ, tũgwĩka atĩa?”
Omuweereza ow’omusajja wa Katonda bwe yazuukuka ku makya n’afuluma ebweru, laba, eggye eririna embalaasi, n’amagaali nga lyetoolodde ekibuga. Omuweereza n’ayogerera waggulu nti, “Ayi mukama wange tunaakola tutya?”
16 Nake mũnabii akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Tiga gwĩtigĩra, nĩgũkorwo arĩa marĩ mwena witũ nĩ aingĩ gũkĩra arĩa marĩ mwena wao.”
Nnabbi n’addamu nti, “Totya kubanga abali naffe bangi okusinga abali nabo.”
17 Nake Elisha akĩhooya atĩrĩ, “Wee Jehova, mũhingũre maitho nĩguo oone.” Nake Jehova akĩhingũra maitho ma ndungata ĩyo, nayo ĩkĩrora, ĩkĩona kũu irĩma-inĩ kũiyũire mbarathi na ngaari cia ita irĩ na mwaki, ciothe irigiicĩirie Elisha.
Awo Erisa n’asaba ng’agamba nti, “Ayi Mukama, zibula amaaso ge asobole okulaba.” Amangwago Mukama n’azibula amaaso ag’omuweereza, laba ng’ensozi zijjudde embalaasi n’amagaali ag’omuliro nga geetoolodde Erisa.
18 Na rĩrĩa thũ ciake ciaikũrũkaga irorete kũrĩ we-rĩ, Elisha akĩhooya Jehova, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Hũũra andũ aya na ũtumumu.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩmahũũra na ũtumumu, o ta ũrĩa Elisha aahooete.
Abalabe bwe baaserengeta okulumba Erisa, n’asaba Mukama, n’ayogera nti, “Nkwegayiridde, ozibe amaaso g’abantu bano.” N’aziba amaaso gaabwe nga Erisa bwe yamusaba.
19 Elisha akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ĩno tiyo njĩra, o na rĩĩrĩ tirĩo itũũra. Nũmĩrĩrai, na nĩngũmũtwara kũrĩ mũndũ ũrĩa mũracaria.” Nake akĩmatwara nginya Samaria.
Erisa n’abagamba nti, “Lino si lye kkubo, era kino si kye kibuga. Mungoberere, mbatwale eri omusajja gwe munoonya.” N’abakulemberamu n’abatwala e Samaliya.
20 Maarĩkia kũingĩra itũũra rĩu inene, Elisha akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova hingũra andũ aya maitho nĩgeetha mone.” Nake Jehova akĩmahingũra maitho, nao makĩona, magĩĩkora marĩ thĩinĩ wa Samaria.
Olwayingira mu kibuga, n’asaba Mukama nti, “Zibula amaaso g’abasajja bano, balabe.” Mukama n’azibula amaaso gaabwe, ne batunula, laba nga bali mu Samaliya wakati.
21 Rĩrĩa mũthamaki wa Isiraeli aamoonire-rĩ, akĩũria Elisha atĩrĩ, “Baba ndĩmoorage? Nĩ wega ndĩmoorage?”
Awo kabaka wa Isirayiri bwe yabalaba, n’abuuza Erisa nti, “Kitange, mbatte? Mbatte?”
22 Nake Elisha akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndũkamoorage. No ũũrage andũ arĩa wĩnyiitĩire na rũhiũ rwaku rwa njora kana ũta? Mahe irio na maaĩ, marĩe na manyue, macooke mathiĩ kũrĩ mwathi wao.”
N’amuddamu nti, “Tobatta. Oyinza okutta abo b’owambye n’ekitala kyo, n’omutego gw’akasaale? Bategekere emmere n’amazzi, balye n’okunywa banywe, n’oluvannyuma obasindike baddeyo eri mukama waabwe.”
23 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmathondekera iruga inene, nao maarĩkia kũrĩa na kũnyua, akĩmoigĩra ũhoro nao magĩcooka kũrĩ mwathi wao. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mbũtũ cia ita cia Suriata igĩtiga gũtharĩkĩra bũrũri wa Isiraeli rĩngĩ.
N’abateekerateekera embaga nnene, era bwe baamala okulya n’okunywa, n’abasindika ne baddayo eri mukama waabwe. Abasuuli okwo kwe baakoma okulumba ensi ya Isirayiri.
24 Na rĩrĩ, thuutha ũcio Beni-Hadadi mũthamaki wa Suriata agĩcookanĩrĩria mbũtũ ciake cia ita ciothe, igĩthiĩ, ikĩrigiicĩria Samaria irĩtunyane.
Bwe waayitawoko ebbanga, Benikadadi kabaka w’e Busuuli, n’akuŋŋaanya eggye lye lyonna, n’alumba n’azingiza Samaliya.
25 Na gũkĩgĩa na ngʼaragu nene mũno itũũra rĩu inene. Kũrigiicĩrio kwarĩo gũgĩikara ihinda iraaya ũũ atĩ mũtwe wa ndigiri wendagio cekeri mĩrongo ĩnana cia betha, nakĩo kĩbaba kĩmwe kĩa mai ma ndutura gĩkeendio cekeri ithano.
Ne waba enjala nnyingi nnyo mu kibuga olw’okuzingiza okwo, omutwe gw’endogoyi ne gutundibwanga kilo emu eya ffeeza, n’ekimu ekyokuna eky’ekibya eky’obusa bw’enjiibwa ne kitundibwanga gulaamu ataano mu ttaano eza ffeeza.
26 Na rĩrĩa mũthamaki wa Isiraeli aahĩtũkagĩra rũthingo igũrũ-rĩ, mũtumia ũmwe akĩmũkaĩra, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki, mwathi wakwa, ndeithia!”
Awo kabaka wa Isirayiri yali ayita okumpi ne bbugwe, omukazi omu n’ayogerera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka ng’agamba nti, “Nnyamba mukama wange kabaka!”
27 Nake mũthamaki akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo Jehova ndangĩgũteithia-rĩ, niĩ ingĩkũrutĩra ũteithio kũ? Nĩ kuuma kĩhuhĩro-inĩ kĩa ngano, kana nĩ kuuma kĩhihĩro-inĩ kĩa ndibei?”
Kabaka n’amuddamu nti, “Mukama bw’ataakuyambe, nze nnaakuyamba ntya? Obuyambi nnaabuggya mu gguuliro oba mu ssogolero?”
28 Ningĩ agĩcooka akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ kĩragũthĩĩnia?” Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mũtumia ũyũ aranjĩĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Ruta mũrũguo nĩgeetha tũmũrĩe ũmũthĩ, naruo rũciũ tũkaarĩa mũriũ wakwa.’
Era kwe ku mubuuza nti, “Mutawaana ki?” Omukazi n’amuddamu nti, “Omukazi ono gw’olaba yateesezza nti, ‘Waayo omwana wo owoobulenzi tumulye leero, enkya tulye owange.’
29 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũraruga mũriũ wakwa na tũramũrĩa. Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ ndĩramwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Ruta mũrũguo nĩgeetha tũmũrĩe,’ no aramũhitha.”
Ne nzikiriza, ne tufumba owange ne tumulya. Enkeera ne mugamba nti, ‘Waayo omwana wo owoobulenzi tumulye,’ naye amukwese.”
30 Na rĩrĩa mũthamaki aaiguire ciugo cia mũtumia ũcio-rĩ, agĩtembũranga nguo ciake. O agĩthiiagĩra rũthingo igũrũ-rĩ, andũ magĩcũthĩrĩria, makĩona atĩ eehumbĩte nguo ya ikũnia thĩinĩ.
Kabaka bwe yawulira ebigambo by’omukazi oyo, n’ayuza ebyambalo bye. Bwe yali ng’atambula ku bbugwe, abantu ne bamulengera, laba ng’ayambadde ebibukutu wansi w’ebyambalo bye.
31 Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngai aronjĩka ũũru, na akĩrĩrĩrie kũnjĩka ũũru, angĩkorwo mũtwe wa Elisha mũrũ wa Shafatu nĩũgũkorwo ũnyiitaine na mwĩrĩ wake ũmũthĩ!”
N’ayogera nti, “Katonda ankole bw’atyo n’okusingawo, omutwe gwa Erisa mutabani wa Safati bwe gunaabeera ku bibegabega bye leero!”
32 Na rĩrĩ, Elisha aikarĩte gwake nyũmba arĩ hamwe na athuuri. Nake mũthamaki agĩtũma mũndũ athiiage mbere yake, no mũndũ ũcio ataanakinya, Elisha akĩĩra athuuri acio atĩrĩ, “Hĩ! Ĩĩ nĩmũrona ũrĩa mũũragani ũyũ andũmĩire mũndũ oke andinie mũtwe? Atĩrĩrĩ, mũndũ ũcio ooka-rĩ, mũhinge mũrango, na mũũnyiitĩrĩre ndakaingĩre. Githĩ mũkubio wa magũrũ ma mwathi wake ndũrĩ o thuutha wake?”
Mu kiseera kye kimu ekyo, Erisa yali atudde mu nnyumba ye nga n’abakadde batudde wamu naye, kabaka n’atuma omubaka okumukulemberamu, naye omubaka oyo bwe yali tannatuuka, Erisa n’agamba abakadde nti, “Mulaba omutemu oyo bw’atumye omuntu okuntemako omutwe? Laba, omubaka ajja, muggaleewo oluggi mulunyweze so temumukkiriza kuyingira. Ebigere bya mukama we tebiri mabega we, tamuvaako mabega?”
33 O akĩaria nao-rĩ, mũndũ ũcio watũmĩtwo agĩikũrũka, agĩkinya harĩ we. Nake mũthamaki akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwanangĩko ũyũ uumĩte kũrĩ Jehova. Nĩ kĩĩ kĩngĩtũma njeterere Jehova makĩria ma ũguo?”
Awo Erisa bwe yali ng’akyayogera nabo, omubaka n’atuuka, n’ayogera nti, “Akabi kano kavudde eri Mukama. Lwaki nnindirira Mukama nate?”
