1 Hanki fri'negeno Elisa'ma azeri oti'nea rise'mofo nererana, Elisa'a mago zupa vuno nanekea amanage huno ome asami'ne, Otinka nagaka'a zamavarenka ina moparega atupa knafi umaniku'ma hanana moparega umanio. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a huno, amama mani'nona mopafina 7ni'a kafufi ne'zana omanenesigeno zamaga tontozanku hugahaze huno hu'ne.

U-Elisha wayetshele umfazi olomntwana ayemvuse ekufeni wathi, “Suka uhambe labendlu yakho uyehlala lapha ongathuthela khona okwesikhatshana, ngoba uThixo uzaletha indlala elizweni ezathatha iminyaka eyisikhombisa.”

2 Higeno ana a'mo'a otino Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Elisa'ma hianke antahino, naga'a zamavareno Filistia vahe'mokizmi moparega vu'za, anantega 7ni'a kafu umani'naze.

Owesifazane lowo wakwenza lokho njengokulaywa kwakhe ngumuntu kaNkulunkulu. Yena kanye labendlu yakhe basuka bayahlala elizweni lamaFilistiya okweminyaka eyisikhombisa.

3 Anante ana 7ni'a kafua evuvagaretegeno, ana a'mo'a Filistia mopa atreno, Israeli mopare eteno, mopa'ane noma'ane ete erinaku kini ne'mofonte vuno keaga ome hu'ne.

Ekupheleni kweminyaka eyisikhombisa wasuka elizweni lamaFilistiya waya enkosini yakibo wayacela indawo yomuzi kanye lamasimu akhe.

4 Hagi ana knarera kini ne'mo'a Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Elisama azama nehia ne' Gehasina asmino, Elisa'ma maka ranra eri'zama eri'nea zamofo agenkea nasmio.

Inkosi yayikhuluma loGehazi, isisebenzi somuntu kaNkulunkulu, yathi, “Ake ungixoxele ngezimanga ezinkulu esezike zenziwa ngu-Elisha.”

5 Higeno Elisa'ma mago rise'ma fri'nefinti azeri oti'nea zamofo agenkea Gehasi'a kini nera nesamigeno, anante ana mofavremofo nerera'a, mopa'ane noma'anenku kini ne' antahigeno erisigu e'ne. Anante ana ara egeno Gehasi'a kini nera asmino, kema hua a'ene, fri'nefinti'ma azeri oti'nea mofavre'anena amu nea'anki ko.

Uthe uGehazi esathi uyalandisela inkosi ngokuthi u-Elisha wavusa njani abafileyo, owesifazane owayelendodana yakhe eyasiliswa ngu-Elisha wafika ezocela ukubuyela emzini wakhe lokulima amasimu akhe. UGehazi wathi, “Nguyenalo owesifazane, nkosi yami, nansi lendodana yakhe, eyiyo eyavuswa kwabafileyo ngu-Elisha.”

6 Hanki anante kini ne'mo'a Elisa'ma tro'ma hu'nea zanku ana ara antahigegeno, ana a'mo'a maka nanekea asmi vagare'ne. Ana hutegeno anante kini ne'mo'a mago eri'za vahe'a asmino, inazano agri'zama mene'niazane, mopa'ama atreno vu'nenia knareti'ma eno meninte'ma esnigeno'ma, ana mopafinti zama zagore'ma atreno eri'nesia zagone, ana maka mopanena ome eri amio.

Inkosi yambuza ngalokhu umama lowo, lakanye wakufakaza lokho. Inkosi yasikhetha esinye sezikhulu zayo ukuba sikhangele izikhalazo zowesifazane yaqonqosela yathi, “Uze umbuyisele konke okwakungokwakhe, lenzuzo yonke eyasala izuzakala emasimini akhe kusukela mhla asuka kulelilizwe kuze kube sekuphendukeni kwakhe lamuhla.”

7 Hanki mago zupa Elisa'a Siria vahe'mokizmi rankumate Damaskasi vu'ne. Ana zupa Siria kini nera Ben-Hadati'a kri eri'nege'za, ana kini nera eme asami'za, Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Elisa'a ama emarerie.

U-Elisha waya eDamaseko, uBheni-Hadadi inkosi yase-Aramu wayegula. Inkosi isitsheliwe ngalokho ukuthi,

8 Higeno kini ne'mo'a mago eri'za ne'a Hazaelina asmino, Mago musezana eri'nenka vunka Anumzamofo eri'za nera ome asamigeno nagra krifintira kanamregahufi, Ra Anumzamofona ome antahigeno keno.

“Umuntu kaNkulunkulu usefikile uvela ekudeni khonale esiza lapha,” wathi kuHazayeli: “Thatha isipho uyehlangabeza umuntu kaNkulunkulu. Khuluma ubuze uThixo ngaye; uthi, ‘Kambe ngizasila yini kulokhu kugula na?’”

9 Anage higeno Hazaeli'a ome amisia muse zantamima eri'neana, 40'a kemolimofo agumpi Damaskasiti maka knare'nare feno zantamina erinteno erino Elisante vu'ne. Anante uhanatiteno Elisana anage huno asmi'ne, Kagri eri'za ne' Ben-Hatati'a hunanteno, kri'afintira kanamregahufi ome antahigenka ko hige'na e'noe.

UHazayeli waphuma wayahlangabeza u-Elisha, ephethe izipho zezimpahla ezinhle kakhulu ezenziwa ngabaleminwe eDamaseko zithwelwe ngamakamela angamatshumi amane. Wafika wangena wema phambi kwakhe, wathi, “Indodana yakho uBheni-Hadadi inkosi yase-Aramu ungithumile ukuba ngizobuza, uthe yena, ‘Kambe ngizasila emkhuhlaneni na?’”

10 Higeno Elisa'a kenona'a amanage huno asmi'ne, Vunka ome asmio, kri'afintira knamaregahie. Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'ma naveri hu'neana tamage huno frigahie.

U-Elisha waphendula wathi, “Hamba uyemtshela ukuthi, ‘Ngempela uzasila’; kodwa uThixo usebonakalisile kimi umbono wokuthi uzakufa.”

11 Anante Elisa'ma ana nanekema asmiteno'a, Hazaeli avufi keteno mani'negeno anama hiazanku Hazaeli'a agazegu higeno, anante Elisa'a zavi ate'ne.

Wamkhangela engaciyozi emuthe nzo ngamehlo uHazayeli waze waba lenhloni. Umuntu kaNkulunkulu wasekhala.

12 Ana zavi'ma ateazanku, Hazaeli'a antahigeno, Kva vahenimoka na'a agafare zavira netane, huno higeno Elisa'a kenona'a huno, Zavi'ma toana na'ankure henka'a kagra Israeli vahera tusi hazenke nezaminka, kuma kegina'zamia anafenafu hunka teve negrenka, nehazaveramina kazinteti zamahe nefrinka, ne'onse mofavreramina zamazerinka mopafi ruhapatinka nezamahenka, zamu'enema hu'nenaza a'nea kazinteti zamarimpa retragufegahane.

UHazayeli wabuza wathi, “Kungani inkosi yami ikhala?” Umuntu kaNkulunkulu waphendula wathi, “Kungenxa yokuthi ngiyabazi ububi ozabenza ebantwini bako-Israyeli; uzatshisa izinqola zabo ngomlilo, ubulale lamadodana abo ngenkemba, uchoboze ingane zabo njalo uqhaqhe abesifazane abazithweleyo.”

13 Hagi ana kema Hazaeli'ma nentahino'a kenona'a huno, Nagra kragna hu'na nagi omne vahe mani'noanki, inankna hu'na e'inahu zantamina hunaku hugenka nehane. Higeno anante Elisa'a asmino, Kagrikura henka'a Siria vahe kini fore hugahane huno Ra Anumzamo'a naveri hu'ne.

UHazayeli wathi, “Kambe inceku yakho, yona iyinja ngokwayo, ingasanelisa njani isiga esingako?” U-Elisha waphendula wathi, “UThixo ungitshengisile ukuthi wena uzakuba yinkosi yase-Aramu.”

14 Anagema hutegeno'a, anantetira Hazaeli'a atreno kini ne' Ben-Hadati'ma mani'nerega vigeno, kini ne'mo'a antahigeno, Na'ane huno Elisa'a kasami'ne. Higeno Hazaeli'a asmino, Elisa'a kagrikura huno, tamage hunka knamregahane hu'ne.

Ngakho uHazayeli wasuka ku-Elisha wabuyela enkosini yakhe. UBheni-Hadadi wasebuza esithi, “Utheni u-Elisha kuwe?” UHazayeli yena waphendula wathi, “Ungitshele ukuthi ngempela uzasila.”

15 Hianagi ana knamofo anante knazupa, Hazaeli'a kini ne ahefrinaku, mago franketa erino timpi rerinke huteno, erino vuno kini ne'mofo avugosafi ome rufiteno rentrako higeno fri'ne. Ana higeno Hazaeli'a agri kuma erino kini fore huno mani'ne.

Kodwa ngosuku olulandelayo wathatha ingubo, wayigxamuza emanzini, wasembomboza ubuso benkosi ngayo yaze yafa. Ngakho uHazayeli waba yinkosi.

16 Hanki Ahapu nemofo, Joramu'a 5fu'a kafuma Israeli vahe kinima nemanigeno'a, Jehosafati nemofo Jehoramu'a nefa no erino, agafa huno Juda vahe'mokizmi kinia mani'ne.

Ngomnyaka wesihlanu kaJoramu indodana ka-Ahabi inkosi yako-Israyeli, ngesikhathi uJehoshafathi eyinkosi yakoJuda, uJehoramu indodana kaJehoshafathi waqalisa ukubusa eyinkosi yakoJuda.

17 Hanki Joramu'a 32'a kafu hu'neno kinia efore huno, 8'a kafufi Jerusalemi kumatera kinia mani'ne.

Wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lambili eqalisa ukubusa, njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka eyisificaminwembili.

18 Ana huteno Joramu'a, Ra Anumzamofo avure'ma kumi'ma hu'neana, Ahapu mofa ara eriteno, Ahapu naga'mo'zama nehaza havi zamavu'zmava'ene, Israeli kini vahe'mo'zama nehaza havi zamavu'zmavara zamage anteno hu'ne.

Yena wahamba emanyathelweni amakhosi ako-Israyeli, njengalokhu okwakwenziwe ngabendlu ka-Ahabi, ngoba wayethethe indodakazi ka-Ahabi. Wona phambi kukaThixo.

19 Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a eri'za vahe'a Devitina antahinemino, Juda vahera zamazeri havizana osu'ne. Na'ankure Agrama huvempa huno, Deviti naga'pintike maka zupa kinia mani anante nante hu'za nevanageno, Deviti nagamofo lamu tavimo'a asu osugahiema huno hu'nea kegu agesa nentahino anara osu'ne.

Loba kunjalo, ngenxa kaDavida inceku yakhe, uThixo kathandanga ukudiliza indlu kaJuda. Wayemthembise ukugcina isibane sikaDavida lenzalo yakhe kuze kube nini lanini.

20 Hanki Jehoramu'ma Juda vahe kinima mani'neno kegavama huzmante'nea knafina, Idomu vahe'mo'za Juda vahe kinimofo kea ontahi'za zamagra'a kini azeri oti'zageno kegava huzmante'ne.

Ngensuku zikaJehoramu, abase-Edomi bahlamukela uJuda babeka eyabo inkosi.

21 Hanki anama hazageno'a, Jehoramu'a karisifima mani'ne'za ha'ma nehaza sondia vahe zamavareno, Zairi kumate Idomu vahe ha' huzmanteku vu'ne. Anantega vutazage'za Idomu vahe'mo'za e'za kafona eme regagi zamante'naze. Anama hazage'za, kenage Jehoramu'ene karisire ugota hu'naza sondia vahe'mo'za hara hanaveti'za hu'naze. Hianagi Idomu vahe'mo'za hara huzmagaterage'za atre'za koro fre'za nozamirega e'naze.

Ngakho uJehoramu waya eZayiri lezinqola zakhe zokulwa. Ama-Edomi amhanqa yena kanye labalawuli bezinqola zokulwa, wavuka ebusuku waphulukundlela ngobusuku; kodwa amabutho akhe abaleka abuyela ekhaya.

22 Ana hazage'za Juda vahera, Idomu vahe'mo'za hara hu zamagatere'ne'za zamagra'a kegava hu'za mani'ne'za meninena mani'za neaze. Hanki ana knafina Libna ran kumate'ma nemaniza vahe'mo'za anahukna hu'za Juda vahe'mokizmi kea ontahi'za ha' rezmante'za zamagra'a zamagiare oti'naze.

Kuze kube lamhla abase-Edomi balokhu behlamukela uJuda. ULibhina laye wahlamuka ngalesosikhathi.

23 Hanki ruga'a zantamima Jehoramu'ma kinima mani'neno tro'ma hu'nea zamofo agenkea, Juda kini vahe'mokizmi zamagi zamagenkema krenentaza avontafepi krente'naze.

Okunye ngombuso langezehlakalo zikaJehoramu, lakho konke okunye akwenzayo, akulotshwanga egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi akoJuda na?

24 Hagi Jehoramu'a frige'za, Deviti rankumapi agehemozama frizage'zama asezmante'nafi ome asente'naze. Ana hutegeno nemofo Ahazia'a agri no erino kinia mani'ne.

UJehoramu waya kwabaphansi, wangcwatshwa laboyise eMzini kaDavida. Ngakho u-Ahaziya indodana yakhe wathatha ubukhosi.

25 Hanki Ahapu nemofo, Joramu'ma 12fu'a kafuma Israeli vahe'mokizmi kinima nemanigeno'a, Jehoramu nemofo Ahazia'a agafa huno Juda vahe'mokizmi kinia mani'ne.

Ngomnyaka wetshumi lambili kaJoramu indodana ka-Ahabi inkosi yako-Israyeli, u-Ahaziya indodana kaJehoramu inkosi yakoJuda waqalisa ukubusa.

26 Hagi Ahazia'a 22'a kafu nehuno, kinia efore huno, magoke kafufi Jerusalemi kumatera kinia mani'ne. Ahazia nerera agi'a Atalia'kino agra Ahapu mofa mani'neankino, Israeli vahe'mokizmi korapa kini ne' Omri negeho mani'ne.

U-Ahaziya waqalisa ukubusa eleminyaka engamatshumi amabili, njalo wabusa eJerusalema okomnyaka owodwa. Unina wayengu-Athaliya, umntanomntanakhe ka-Omri inkosi yako-Israyeli.

27 Hanki Ahazia'a Ahapu naga'mo'zama nehaza zamavu'zmava huno, Ra Anumzamofo avurera havi avu'avaza hu'ne. Na'ankure agra Ahapu naga'pinti ara eri'negu zamage anteno anara hu'ne.

Wahamba ngenyathelo labendlu ka-Ahabi wona phambi kukaThixo, njengokwakwenziwe ngabendlu ka-Ahabi, ngoba wayeyisihlobo sabo ngokuthatha.

28 Hanki mago zupa Ahazia'ene, Ahapu nemofo Israeli kini ne Joramukea, Giliati kaziga Ramoti kumate vuke, Siria kini ne' Hazaelina ha' ome hunte'na'e. Ana hu'na'anagi Siria sondia vahe'mo'za Joramuna keve aheguzafa ante'naze.

U-Ahaziya waya empini loJoramu indodana ka-Ahabi besilwa loHazayeli inkosi yase-Aramu eRamothi Giliyadi. Ama-Aramu alimaza uJoramu,

29 Hanki Ramoti kumate'ma ha'ma nehigeno Siria vahe'mo'zama kevema ahe'naza zampinti knamrenigu kini ne' Ahapu nemofo Joramu'a atreno vuno Jezrili kumate umani'negeno, Juda vahe kini ne' Jehoramu nemofo Ahazia'a ome kenaku anantega urami'ne.

ngakho inkosi uJoramu yabuyela eJezerili ukuthi iyekwelatshwa amanxeba lapho eyayilinyazwe khona ngama-Aramu eRama ekulweni kwayo loHazayeli inkosi yama-Aramu. Ngakho u-Ahaziya indodana kaJehoramu inkosi yakoJuda wehla wayabona uJoramu indodana ka-Ahabi, njengoba wayeselimele.
