Hagi ofri'ma mani'neno'a kamage nenteno, Ra Anumzamofona monora hunte'ne. Hianagi mago ne'mofontegati zagoa nofi hu'neankino, ana ne'mo'a eno eme tare ne'mofavre ni'ararena zanavreno vanigeke kazokazo eri'za omerintegaha'e.
Mke wa mmoja wa wana wa manabii akamlilia Elisha, akamwambia, “Mtumishi wako, mume wangu, amekufa, nawe unajua alikuwa anamcha Bwana. Lakini sasa yule anayemdai anakuja kuchukua wanangu wawili kama watumwa wake.”
2 Anage higeno ana ara Elisa'a amanage huno asmi'ne, Inankna hu'na nagra kaza hugahue? Nonka'afina na'a ante'nane, higeno ana a'mo'a ke nona'a huno, Muse hugantoanki mago'a zana onte'noe. Hianagi osi'a olivi masave antogeno taferopina me'ne.
Elisha akamjibu, “Nitawezaje kukusaidia? Niambie, una nini ndani ya nyumba yako?” Akasema, “Mtumishi wako hana kitu chochote kabisa, isipokuwa mafuta kidogo.”
3 Higeno Elisa'a ana ara asmino, Vunka tvaonka'arema nemaniza vahera zamantahigenka kavoramina osi'a e'orinka rama'a erio.
Elisha akasema, “Zunguka kwa majirani zako wote ukaombe vyombo vitupu. Usiombe vichache.
4 Hanki anama hute'nunka, kagrane tare mofavre ka'anena nompi ufreta kafana erigita nemanita, ana maka kavofi masavena taginte vagareho. Anama nehanankenoma mago kavomo'ma aviteterema haniana, rure erintetere huo.
Kisha ingia ndani na ujifungie mlango, wewe na wanao. Mimina mafuta kwenye vyombo vyote, na kila kimoja kinapojaa, kiweke kando.”
5 Ana kema Elisa'ma hiana ana a'mo'a antahiteno, vuno vahe kavoramina zamantahigeno eritru huteno, tare ne'ararene noma'afi ufreno kahana erigiteno, tare ne'ararena ke higeke kavoa eri amitere hakeno masavena tagintetere huno evu'ne.
Yule mjane akaondoka na kujifungia ndani, yeye na wanawe. Wao wakamletea vyombo, naye akaendelea kumimina mafuta.
6 Hanki ana a'mo'ma ana maka kavoramimpima masavema tagintegeno avite vagaretegeno, mago mofavre'agu huno, Mago'a kavoma me'nesiana eri namio, huno higeno mofavre'amo'a kenona'a huno, Magore huno kavoa omne'neanki hago vagare. Higeno masavemo'ma ne-eretira anante vagare'ne.
Vyombo vyote vilipojaa, akamwambia mwanawe, “Niletee chombo kingine.” Lakini mwanawe akajibu, “Hakuna chombo kingine kilichobaki.” Basi mafuta yakakoma kutiririka.
7 Anante ana a'mo'a Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa ne' Elisana anazama fore'ma hiazana ome asamigeno, Elisa'a ana ara asmino, Vunka ana masaveramina ome zagore atrenka zagoma erisunka, negave'ma nofi'ma hu'neana zagoa apanesenka, mago'a mesia zagoa kagrane mofavre ka'ararene ne'zana mizaseta neneta maniho huno hu'ne.
Yule mwanamke akaenda akamwambia yule mtu wa Mungu, naye mtu wa Mungu akasema, “Nenda ukayauze hayo mafuta ulipe madeni yako. Wewe na wanao mnaweza kuishi kwa kile kinachosalia.”
8 Hanki mago zupa Elisa'a Sunemi rankumate vigeno, ana kumapina mago feno ara mani'neankino, ana a'mo'a kehigeno noma'afinti ne'zana ome ne'ne. Ana hu'neankino Elisa'ma Sunemi kumate'ma mago'a zupama eterema nehuno'a, ana a'mofo nompintike ne'zana eme ne'ne.
Siku moja Elisha akaenda Shunemu. Huko kulikuwa na mwanamke mmoja mwenye cheo, ambaye alimsisitiza Elisha aje kula chakula. Kwa hiyo kila mara alipitia pale, akaingia humo ili ale.
9 Hanki mago'a kna evutegeno, ana a'mo'a nevena amanage huno asmi'ne, Ama ne'ma eno'ma tagranema ne'zama eme neterema nehia nera, nagrama antahi'noana Ra Anumzamofo ruotge kasnampa ne' mani'ne.
Akamwambia mumewe, “Ninajua kwamba huyu mtu ambaye anakuja kwetu mara kwa mara ni mtu mtakatifu wa Mungu.
10 E'ina hu'negu tagra nonti'amofo agofetu Elisa'ma masesia nona mago hunaraginteteta, anampinka mase sipane, ne'zama anteno nesia tra'ene, manisia tra'ene tro hunteteta, lamu tavi'ene anampinka antente'nesukeno, tagri'ma tageku'ma eterema hania zupa, anama hunaragintepinka umrerino umasegahie.
Tutengeneze chumba kidogo juu darini na tuweke ndani yake kitanda na meza, kiti na taa kwa ajili yake. Kisha anaweza kukaa humo kila mara akija kwetu.”
11 Hanki mago zupa Elisa'a Sunemi kumate eno, anama hunaragintepinka evumarerino umaseno mani'ne.
Siku moja Elisha alipofika, akapanda chumbani kwake na kulala humo.
12 Ana huteno Elisa'a kato ne'a Gehasina amanage huno hunte'ne, Ama noma retro'ma hunte'nea ara ome kehugeno eno, higeno Gehasi'a vuno ana ara ome kehigeno e'ne.
Akamwambia mtumishi wake Gehazi, “Mwite huyo Mshunami.” Hivyo akamwita, naye akaja akasimama mbele yake.
13 Anama higeno'a Elisa'a amanage huno Gehasina asmi'ne, Vunka ana ara na'a kagrira mago so'ezana hugantegahu'e hunka ome antahigo. Hagi kagrama hu izo hanankeno'a, amne Elisa'a vuno kini netero, sondia vahete ugota hu'nea nera ome zamageno kavesisia zanku'ma hnanana, ome zamasaminege'za amne trohugahaze hunka asmio. Higeno Gehasi'a ana ara anankea ome asmigeno, ana amo'a kenona huno, Nagra vahe'ni'ane knare hu'na mani'noanki'na mago'zankura atupara osu'noe.
Elisha akamwambia mtumishi wake, “Mwambie huyu mwanamke, ‘Umetaabika sana kwa ajili yetu. Sasa utendewe nini? Je, tunaweza kuzungumza na mfalme au jemadari wa jeshi kwa niaba yako?’” Akajibu, “Mimi ninaishi kwangu miongoni mwa watu wangu.”
14 Higeno ana ke'ma Gehasi'ma eno Elisama eme asmigeno'a Elisa'a huno, Knare avu'avazama ana a'mo'ma hurante'nerera na'a huntegahu'e? Higeno Gehasi'a amanage hu'ne, Ne' mofavrea onte'negeno neve'a ko ranafa re'ne.
Elisha akamwambia mtumishi wake, “Je, ni nini kinachoweza kufanyika kwa ajili yake?” Gehazi akasema, “Hakika, hana mwana, na mume wake ni mzee.”
15 Anage higeno Elisa'a ana ara ome kehugeno eno higeno, Gehasi'a ome kehigeno eno kahante eme oti'ne.
Ndipo Elisha akasema, “Mwite huyo mwanamke.” Kwa hiyo akamwita, naye akaja akasimama mlangoni.
16 Ana hutegeno Elisa'a ana ara amanage huno asmi'ne, Anaga'a kafufina meni amana knare, ne' mofavreka'a kazampi avaregahane. Higeno ana a'mo'a ke nona huno, kvanimoka Ra Anumzamofo eri'za vahe mani'nanki havigea osuo.
Elisha akamwambia, “Mwaka ujao, wakati kama huu utabeba mwana mikononi mwako.” Yule mama akapinga, akasema, “La hasha, bwana wangu, usimpotoshe mtumishi wako, ee mtu wa Mungu!”
17 Hianagi ana a'mo'a henka mofavre amu'ene huno, Elisa'ma hu'nea kante anteno anaga'a kafufina, ana kna fatgore ne' mofavre kasente'ne.
Lakini yule mwanamke akapata mimba, na mwaka uliofuata wakati kama ule ule akamzaa mwana, kama vile Elisha alivyokuwa amemwambia.
18 Hanki henka ana mofavremo'a ra huteno mago zupa, nefa'a hozafi eri'za vahe'anema witi nevasgazafi vu'ne.
Mtoto akakua, naye siku moja akamwendea baba yake, ambaye alikuwa pamoja na wavunaji.
19 Hanki anampi mani'neno nefana asmino, Nase'nimo'a tusi natagrie, natagrie, huno higeno, nefa'a mago eri'za vahe hunteno, avrenka nerera'ma mani'nerega vuo.
Akamwambia baba yake, “Kichwa changu! Kichwa changu!” Baba yake akamwambia mtumishi, “Mchukue umpeleke kwa mama yake.”
20 Higeno eri'za ne'mo'a ana mofavrea avresga huno nerera ome ami'geno, nerera asumpi maseno mani'negeno vuno ferusegeno fri'ne.
Baada ya mtumishi kumbeba na kumpeleka kwa mama yake, mtoto akaketi mapajani mwa mama yake mpaka adhuhuri, kisha akafa.
21 Ana higeno ana a'mo'a anama fria mofavre'a erino marerino, Anumzamofo eri'za vahe Elisa'ma nemasea sipare ome antemaseteno, kafa erinegino atreno atirami'ne.
Mama akampandisha na kumlaza juu ya kitanda cha yule mtu wa Mungu, kisha akafunga mlango, akatoka nje.
22 Anante ana a'mo'a nevena kezatimino anage hu'ne, Muse hugantoanki mago eri'za ne'ene mago donki afura namige'na Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa ne' ame hu'na ome kete'na a'neno.
Akamwita mume wake na kusema, “Tafadhali mtume mmoja miongoni mwa mtumishi pamoja na punda ili niweze kwenda kwa mtu wa Mungu haraka na kurudi.”
23 Anage higeno ana a'mofo neve'a huno, Menina kasefa ikana omnege, mani fruhu kna Sabatia omne'neanki, na'a higenka menina vu'za nehane? Hianagi ana a'mo'a huno, E'ina hu'neanagi knare hu'neanki'na amne vugahue.
Mume wake akamuuliza, “Kwa nini uende kwake leo? Leo si mwandamo wa mwezi, wala si Sabato.” Mwanamke akasema, “Yote ni sawa.”
24 Anante ana a'mo'a donki afura azerinte fatgo nehuno, eri'za ne'agura huno, avazu hunka ame'ma hunka vuo. Hanki donkimo'ma akoheno vinogura nagrake'za kasamigahue.
Akatandika punda na kumwambia mtumishi wake, “Mwongoze huyo punda. Usinipunguzie mwendo mpaka nikuambie.”
25 Hanki anage hutegeke, ana a'ene eri'za ne'anena, Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa ne' Elisa ome keku Karmeli agonare vu'na'e. Hanki zanagra afete nevakeno Elisa'a nezanageno kato ne'a Gehasina asamino, antu Sunemiti a' ne-eanki ko.
Kwa hiyo akaenda na kumfikia huyo mtu wa Mungu katika Mlima Karmeli. Alipomwona kwa mbali, huyo mtu wa Mungu akamwambia mtumishi wake Gehazi, “Tazama, yule Mshunami!
26 Hanki kagra kagarenka vunka ana a'ra ome negenka, kagrane, negave'ene, mofavreka'anena knare huta mani'nazo? hunka antahigo. Higeno Gehasi'a anankema ome asmigeno'a, ana a'mo'a kenona'a huno, mago kea omne'neanki knare huta mani'none.
Kimbia ukamlaki, umuulize, ‘Je, wewe hujambo? Mume wako hajambo? Mtoto wako ni mzima?’” Akasema, “Kila kitu ni sawasawa.”
27 Hanki ana a'mo'ma Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne'ma agonafima mani'nere uhanatino, Elisana agiafi rena nereno, agiare azeri antroko hu'ne, anama hiaza Gehasi'ma negeno'a, ana ara retufe ogantu atreku hu'neanagi, Elisa'a Gehasina asmino, Agra tusi'a knazampi mani'negahianki atrenenka ko. Hagi agrama knafima mani'neazana Ra Anumzamo'a knafi mani'ne huno onasami'ne.
Alipomfikia huyo mtu wa Mungu pale mlimani, akashika miguu yake. Gehazi akaja ili amwondoe, lakini yule mtu wa Mungu akasema, “Mwache! Yuko katika uchungu mkubwa, lakini Bwana amenificha jambo hili na hajaniambia kwa nini.”
28 Anante ana a'mo'a anage hu'ne, Kva vahe'ni'a Ra Anumzamofo eri'za vahe'moka, nagra ne'mofavregura kantahi onkenoanki, kagrama hana kante anteno Anumzamo mofavrea nami'ne. Hianagi nagrama hu'noana renavataga osuo hu'na hu'noe.
Yule mwanamke akasema, “Je, bwana wangu, mimi nilikuomba mwana? Je, sikukuambia, ‘Usiamshe matumaini yangu’?”
29 Ana ke'ma Elisa'ma nentahino'a, Gehasina anage huno asmi'ne, Zaza kenaka'a kamu nofipi eri pasihunka ahenevazinka kazampina azompani'a enerinka kagarenka Sunemi rankumate vuo. Hanki kantegama vahe'ma nezmagesunka keaga huozaminka, keagama hunegami sagenkanena kenona osunka, vuvava hunka ana a'mofo nompi umarerinka ana mofavremofo avugosafi azompania omento.
Elisha akamwambia Gehazi, “Jikaze viuno, chukua fimbo yangu mkononi mwako na ukimbie. Ikiwa utakutana na mtu yeyote, usimsalimie, na mtu yeyote akikusalimu, usimjibu. Ilaze fimbo yangu juu ya uso wa mtoto.”
30 Hianagi ana mofavremofo nerera'a amanage hu'ne, Kasefa huno mani'nea Ra Anumzamofo avufine kagri kavufine tamage hu'na nehuankina, nagra katre'na ovugahue, higeno Elisa'a otino ana a'ene Sunemi ete vu'ne.
Lakini mama mtoto akasema, “Hakika kama Bwana aishivyo na wewe uishivyo, sitakuacha.” Kwa hiyo Elisha akainuka, akafuatana naye.
31 Hanki Gehasia vugota huno Elisa azompa ana mofavremofo avugosafi ome ante'ne. Hianagi tamage huno mago'zana forera osu'ne. Ana higeno Gehasia ete vuno Elisa'ma kantegama ne-egeno ome asmino, Kema nasmi'nazana ome huanagi ana mofavremo'a oraoti'ne.
Gehazi akatangulia mbele na kuilaza fimbo juu ya uso wa mtoto, lakini hapakuwa na sauti wala itikio. Hivyo Gehazi akarudi kukutana na Elisha, na kumwambia, “Mtoto hajaamka.”
32 Higeno Elisa'a nonte uhanatiteno umarerino keana, agrama nemasea sipare, anama fri'nea risera mase'negeno ke'ne.
Elisha alipofika kwenye ile nyumba, mtoto alikuwa amelala juu ya kitanda chake angali amekufa.
33 Hagi hunaragintepinka umarerino kahana erigiteno, Ra Anumzamofontega nunamuna hu'ne.
Akaingia ndani, akajifungia yeye na yule mtoto, akamwomba Bwana.
34 Anante ana rise'ma mase'nea sipare marerino ana rise'mofo agofetu unemaseno, agira agite nenteno, avurga avure nenteno, azana azante ante'ne. Ana higeno ana rise'mofo avufgamo'a osi'a amuho hukna hu'ne.
Kisha akapanda kitandani, akalala juu ya yule mtoto, mdomo wake juu ya mdomo wa mtoto, macho yake juu ya macho ya mtoto, mikono yake juu ya mikono ya mtoto. Naye alipojinyoosha juu yake, mwili wa mtoto ukapata joto.
35 Amuho higeno otino osi'a ana nompi vano huteno ete mago'ene ana huno avufgare mase'ne. Mase'negeno seveni'a zupa kasera ruteno avurga ruhari hu'ne.
Elisha akajiondoa juu yake na kuanza kutembeatembea ndani ya chumba, kisha akarudi tena kitandani na kujinyoosha tena juu ya mtoto mara nyingine. Mtoto akapiga chafya mara saba, akafungua macho yake.
36 Ana'ma nehiana Elisa'a Gehasina kehigeno egeno anage huno asmi'ne, vunka nererana ome kehugeno eno, higeno kema hiaza huno Gehasi'a ana ara ome kehigeno emarerigeno, Elisa'a huno, ne'mofavreka'a ete avro.
Elisha akamwita Gehazi na kumwambia, “Mwite huyo Mshunami.” Naye akafanya hivyo. Yule Mshunami alipokuja, Elisha akasema, “Mchukue mwanao.”
37 Higeno ana a'mo'a anampinka emarerino Elisana agafi avugosaregati emeseno kepri huno humuse hunenteno, ana mofavre'a avreno megi'a atiramino vu'ne.
Akaingia ndani, akaanguka miguuni pa Elisha na kusujudu hadi nchi. Kisha akamchukua mwanawe na kutoka nje.
38 Mago'a kna evutegeno Elisa'a eteno Gilgali vu'neana ana mopafina ne'zana fanane higeno tusi'a zamaga tonto hu'ne. Hanki anampima mago'a nemaniza kasnampa vahe'mo'za agrane mago zupa eme eritru hu'za mani'naze. Ana hazageno Elisa'a kato ne'a amanage huno asmi'ne, Rankavo erinka ana kasnampa vahera ne'zana krezamanto.
Elisha akarudi Gilgali, nako huko kulikuwa na njaa katika eneo lile. Wakati wana wa kundi la manabii walipokuwa wanakutana naye, akamwambia mtumishi wake, “Teleka chungu kikubwa jikoni uwapikie manabii.”
39 Higeno kasnampa vahepinti mago'mo vuno kamo'za ome huno eme kreku nevuno ome keana, afi hagonefa rente'negeno ome keteno, e'i afi hagonefa me'ne huno ontahineno, mago'a tagiazamo zaza kena'afi erinteno e'ne. Eteno anante eme akrakru hiazamo ana kamo'ene kavofina kre'ne.
Mmoja wao akatoka kwenda mashambani kuchuma mboga na akapata mtango mwitu. Akachuma matango na kujaza nguo yake aliyoikunja ili kubebea. Aliporudi, akayakatakata na kuyatumbukiza ndani ya chungu, ingawa hakuna aliyejua ni nini.
40 Hanki ana ne'zama tafepi atintete'za, ana kasnampa vahe'mo'za agafa hu'za nene'za krafa hu'za, Ra Anumzamofo vahe Elisaga ama ne'zamo'a tusi akaheankino vahe tahe frigahie nehu'za one'za atre'naze.
Mchuzi ukagawiwa watu, lakini walipoanza kula, wakalia, “Ee mtu wa Mungu, kuna mauti ndani ya chungu.” Nao hawakuweza kula.
41 Hanki anama hazageno Elisa'a zamasamino, witireti trohu flaua erita eho, hige'za eri'za azageno ana kamo'ma kre'naza kavofi ana flauara netreno kato ne'agu huno, refko hunka tafepi zamige'za neho. Higeno kema hiaza huno eri'za ne'amo'a maka kasnampa vahera atino zamige'za ne'nazanagi, ana ne'zamo'a zamazeri havizana osu'ne.
Elisha akasema, “Leteni unga.” Akauweka ndani ya chungu na kusema, “Wagawie watu ili wale.” Wala hapakuwa na kitu chochote chenye madhara ndani ya chungu.
42 Mago zupa Ba'al-Salisa rankumateti e'nea ne'mo'a, ese hamre'naza bali ragareti tro hu'naza bretiramina 20'a enerino, mago'a kasefa bali raganena ku'afi erarineno Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Elisante egeno, Elisa'a kato ne'a asmino, Ama ne'zana ama vahera zamige'za neho.
Akaja mtu kutoka Baal-Shalisha, akimletea mtu wa Mungu mikate ishirini ya shayiri iliyookwa kutokana na nafaka ya kwanza, pamoja na masuke ya nafaka mpya. Elisha akasema, “Wape watu ili wale.”
43 Anage higeno kato ne'amo'a Elisana antahigeno, Inankna hu'na ama 100'a vahera, asama ne'zana zamisuge'za negahaze. Higeno Elisa'a ana kemofo nona huno, Zaminke'za neho. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a huno, nenesageno mago'a amne megahie hianki zaminke'za neho.
Mtumishi wake akamuuliza, “Nitawezaje kuandaa hii mbele ya watu mia?” Lakini Elisha akajibu, “Wape watu ili wale. Kwa maana hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana: ‘Watakula na kusaza.’”
44 Anante Elisana kato ne'amo'a ana ne'zana zamige'za nenageno, Ra Anumzamo'ma hu'nea kante anteno mago'a amne me'ne.
Basi akaiandaa mbele yao ile mikate, wakala na baadhi yake wakasaza, sawasawa na neno la Bwana.
