II Na Lii 2
1 A I ke kokoke e lawe aku o Iehova ia Elia i ka lani ma ka puahiohio, hele pu aku la o Elia me Elisai mai Gilegala aku.
Kwathi uThixo esezathatha u-Elija ukuba aye ezulwini ngesivunguzane, u-Elija lo-Elisha babevela eGiligali.
2 I aku la o Elia ia Elisai, Ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e noho oe ia nei; no ka mea, na hoouna o Iehova ia'u i Betela. I mai la o Elisai, Ma ke ola o Iehova, a ma ke ola o kou uhane, aole au e haalele ia oe. A hele pu laua i Betela.
U-Elija wathi ku-Elisha, “Hlala lapha; uThixo usengithume eBhetheli.” Kodwa u-Elisha wathi, “Njengoba uThixo ephila njalo njengoba lawe uphila, angiyikutshiyana lawe.” Ngakho basuka baya eBhetheli.
3 A hele mai na haumana a ka poe kaula ma Betela io Elisai la, i mai la ia ia, Ua ike anei oe e lawe auanei o Iehova i keia la i kou haku mai kou poo aku? I mai la ia, Ae, ua ike au; e hamau oukou.
Iqula labaphrofethi eBhetheli leza ku-Elisha lambuza lisithi: “Uyakwazi yini ukuthi uThixo uzakuthathela inkosi yakho lamuhla na?” U-Elisha wathi, “Yebo, ngiyakwazi, kodwa lingakhulumi ngakho.”
4 I aku la o Elia ia ia, E Elisai e, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e noho oe maanei; no ka mea, ua hoouna mai o Iehova ia'u i Ieriko. I mai la kela, Ma ke ola o Iehova a ma ke ola o kou uhane, aole au o haalele ia oe. A hele pu laua i Ieriko.
Ngakho u-Elija wasesithi kuye, “Hlala lapha, Elisha; uThixo usengithume eJerikho.” U-Elisha waphendula wathi: “Njengoba uThixo ephila njalo njengoba lawe uphila, angiyikutshiyana lawe.” Ngakho basuka baya eJerikho.
5 A hele mai la na haumana a ka poe kaula ma Ieriko io Elisai la, i mai la ia ia, Ua ike anei oe, e lawe auanei o Iehova i keia la i kou haku mai kou poo aku? I aku la kela, Ae, na ike au; e hamau oukou.
Iqula labaphrofethi eJerikho laya ku-Elisha lambuza lisithi, “Uyakwazi yini ukuthi uThixo uzathatha inkosi yakho lamuhla na?” Waphendula wathi, “Yebo, ngiyakwazi, kodwa lingakhulumi ngakho.”
6 I aku la o Elia ia ia, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e noho oe maanei; no ka mea, ua hoouna mai o Iehova ia'u i Ioredane. I mai la kela, Ma ke ola o Iehova a ma ke ola o kou uhane, aole au e haalele ia oe, A hele aku la laua a elua.
Ngakho u-Elija wasesithi, “Hlala khonapha; uThixo usengithume eJodani.” Yena waphendula wathi, “Njengoba uThixo ephila njalo njengoba lawe uphila, angiyikutshiyana lawe.” Ngakho baqhubekela phambili ngohambo.
7 A hele aku la na kanaka he kanalima no na haumana a ka poe kaula, a ku mai ma kahi loihi aku; a ku no laua a elua ma Ioredane.
Amadoda angamatshumi amahlanu exukwini labaphrofethi asuka ayakuma bucwadlana ekhangele lapho u-Elija lo-Elisha ababemi khona eJodani.
8 A lawe aku la o Elia i kona aahu, a opiopi iho la, a hahau iho la i ka wai, a hookaawaleia'e la ia, ma o a ma o; a hele aku laua a elua i kela kapa ma ka aina maloo.
U-Elija wasethatha ingubo yakhe, wayigoqa watshaya ngayo amanzi. Amanzi adabuka phakathi amanye aba kwesokunene amanye kwesokhohlo, basebechapha emhlabathini owomileyo.
9 A hiki aku la laua ma kela aoao, i aku la o Elia ia Elisai, E nonoi mai oe i ka mea a'u e hana aku ai nou, mamua o kuu laweia'na mai ou aku la. I mai la o Elisai, Ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, i papalua o kou uhane maluna o'u.
Ekuchapheni kwabo, u-Elija wathi ku-Elisha, “Akungitshele, kambe kuyini engingakwenzela khona ngingakasuswa kuwe?” U-Elisha waphendula wathi, “Ngicela isabelo esiphindwe kabili somoya wakho.”
10 I aku la ia, He mea paakiki kau i noi mai nei; ina e ike oe ia'u i kuu laweia'na mai ou aku la, pela e hanaia mai ai nou, aka i ole, aole e hanaia mai.
U-Elija wathi, “Usucele into elukhuni, ungangibona ngisuswa kuwe kuzakuba ngokwakho, kodwa nxa kungangabinjalo akuyikuba ngokwakho.”
11 A i ko laua hele ana'ku, e kamailio pu ana, aia hoi, he halekaa ahi, a me na lio ahi, a hookaawaleia laua a elua, a pii ae la o Elia iloko o ka puahiohio i ka lani.
Besahamba belokhu bekhuluma, kwafika inqola yokulwa yomlilo lamabhiza ayo avuthayo yabehlukanisa, ngakho u-Elija waya ezulwini ngesivunguzane.
12 Ike aku la o Elisai, auwe aku la, E kuu makua, e kuu makua, o ka halekaa o ka Iseraela, a me na hoohololio ona? Aole ia i ike hou aku ia ia, a lalau ikaika iho la i kona aahu, a nahae ia ia i na apana elua.
U-Elisha ebona lokhu wamemeza wathi, “Baba! Baba! Izinqola zokulwa labamabhiza okulwa ako-Israyeli!” U-Elisha kasazange aphinde ambone futhi. Wasethatha izigqoko zakhe wazidabula.
13 A lawe aku la ia i ka aahu o Elia, ka mea i haule iho mai ona iho la, a hoi aku la, a ku ma kapa o Ioredane.
Wasedobha ingubo eyayiwe ku-Elija wabuyela emuva wayakuma okhunjini lomfula uJodani.
14 Lawe aku la ia i ka aahu o Elia, ka mea i haule mai ona mai la, a hahau iho la i ka wai, i aku la, Auhea la o Iehova ke Akua o Elia? A i kona hahau ana i ka wai, hookaawaleia'e la ia ma o a ma o; a hele mai o Elisai ma keia aoao.
Wathatha ingubo eyayiwe kuye watshaya ngayo amanzi wathi, “Ungaphi khathesi uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Elija?” Wasetshaya amanzi, adabuka phakathi amanye kwesokunene amanye kwesokhohlo, wasechaphela ngaphetsheya.
15 A o na haumana a ka poe kaula ma Ieriko, i ku mai la, ike aku la lakou ia ia, i ae la, Ua kau mai ka uhane o Elia maluna o Elisai. A hele aku la lakou e halawai me ia, a kulou iho la lakou ma ka honua imua ona.
Ixuku labaphrofethi ababevela eJerikho, ababebukele, lathi, “Umoya ka-Elija uphezu kuka-Elisha.” Basebesiya mhlangabeza bakhothama phambi kwakhe.
16 A i aku la lakou ia ia, Aia hoi, eia no me kau poe kauwa he kanalima na kanaka ikaika; ke nonoi aku nei makou ia oe, e hele lakou e imi i kou haku; malia paha ua lawe aku ka makani o Iehova ia ia, a ua hoolei ia ia ma kekahi mauna, a ma kekahi awawa paha. I mai la ia, Mai hoouna aku oukou.
Basebesithi, “Uyabona, thina izinceku zakho silamadoda angamatshumi amahlanu enelisayo. Yekela amadoda la ayedinga inkosi yakho. Mhlawumbe uMoya kaThixo umthethe wayambeka entabeni ethile loba esihotsheni esithile.” U-Elisha wathi, “Hatshi, lingabathumi.”
17 A koi aku la lakou ia ia a hilahila oia, i mai la ia, E hoouna aku oukou. A hoouna aku la lakou i kanalima kanaka; a imi lakou ia ia i na la ekolu, aole i loaa.
Kodwa baphikelela waze wakhulelwa zinhloni zokuba elokhu esala. Wasesithi, “Bathumeni.” Ngakho bathuma amadoda angamatshumi amahlanu, amdinga okwensuku ezintathu amswela.
18 A hoi hou mai la lakou ia ia, (no ka mea, e noho ana no ia ma Ieriko, ) i aku la ia ia lakou, Aole anei au i olelo aku ia oukou, Mai hele oukou?
Bathe sebebuyela ku-Elisha, owayesehlala eJerikho, wababuza wathi, “Bengingalitshelanga yini ukuthi lingamdingi?”
19 I aku la na kanaka o ke kulanakauhale ia Elisai, Aia hoi, ua maikai ke kahua o ke kulanakauhale, e like me kuu haku e ike nei; aka, ua ino ka wai, a he aina hoohanau hapa.
Amadoda omuzi wakhona athi ku-Elisha, “Akubone, nkosi yethu, umuzi lo usendaweni ebukekayo, njengoba lawe uzibonela, kodwa amanzi alapha mabi lomhlaba wakhona awulazithelo.”
20 I aku la ia, E lawe mai ia'u i kiaha hou, a hahao i paakai maloko: a lawe mai lakou io na la.
U-Elisha wathi, “Ngiphani umganu oyingubhe liwufake itswayi.” Ngakho bawuletha umganu.
21 A hele aku ia i ke kumu o na wai, a hoolei iho la i ka paakai maloko, i aku la, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia, Ua hoomaikai au i keia wai: aole he make hou mailaila mai, aole hoi he hoohanau hapa.
Wasephuma esiya emthonjeni wafika waphosela khona itswayi ekhuluma esithi, “Ilizwi likaThixo lithi: ‘Sengiwahlambulule amanzi la. Awangeke aphinde futhi abangele ukufa loba ukungatheli kuhle kwalumhlaba.’”
22 Pela i hoomaikaiia'e ka wai a hiki i keia la, e like me ka olelo a Elisai ana i olelo ai.
Amanzi lawo kusukela mhlalokho kuze kube lamuhla mahle, njengokwakutshiwo ngu-Elisha.
23 Pii ae la ia mailaila aku i Betela; a i kona hele ana ma ke ala, hele na kamalii mailoko ae o ke kulanakauhale, a hoomaewaewa aku la ia ia, i aku la ia ia, E pii oe iluna, e ka ohulo; e pii oe iluna, e ka ohule.
Esuka lapho u-Elisha waya eBhetheli. Esahamba endleleni, kwavela kulowomuzi ixuku lentanga yabatsha lamhoza lisithi, “Qhubeka, wena mpabanga! Qhubeka, wena mpabanga!”
24 Haliu ae la ia, a nana mai la ia lakou, a hoino mai la ia lakou ma ka inoa o Iehova: a hele mai na bea wahine elua, mai ka ululaau mai, a haehae i na kamalii, he kanaha kumamalua o lakou.
Wanyemukula, wabakhangela wasebehlisela isiqalekiso ngebizo likaThixo. Kwasekuvela amabhele amabili ehlathini afohloza abangamatshumi amane lababili babo.
25 Hele aku la ia mailaila aku i ka mauna o Karemela: a mailaila aku, hoi aku la ia i Samaria.
Wasesedlulela eNtabeni yaseKhameli, uthe esesuka lapho waya eSamariya.
