Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a huno, amama mani'nona mopafina 7ni'a kafufi ne'zana omanenesigeno zamaga tontozanku hugahaze huno hu'ne.

UElisha wasekhuluma kowesifazana ondodana yakhe ayeyenze yaphila, esithi: Sukuma, uhambe wena lendlu yakho, uyehlala njengowezizwe lapho ongahlala khona njengowezizwe, ngoba iNkosi ibize indlala, ezafika njalo elizweni 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.

Owesifazana wasukuma-ke, wenza njengokutsho komuntu kaNkulunkulu; wahamba yena lendlu yakhe, wahlala njengowezizwe elizweni lamaFilisti iminyaka 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.

Kwasekusithi ekupheleni kweminyaka eyisikhombisa, owesifazana waphenduka evela elizweni lamaFilisti; waphuma ukuyakhala enkosini ngendlu yakhe langensimu yakhe.

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-ke loGehazi inceku yomuntu kaNkulunkulu isithi: Akungilandisele izinto zonke ezinkulu uElisha asezenzile.

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.

Kwasekusithi esatshela inkosi ukuthi wavusa njani ofileyo, khangela-ke, owesifazana ondodana yakhe ayeyivuse ekufeni wakhala enkosini ngendlu yakhe langensimu yakhe. UGehazi wasesithi: Nkosi yami, nkosi, nguye lo owesifazana, njalo yiyo le indodana yakhe uElisha ayiphilisayo.

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.

Lapho inkosi ibuza owesifazana, wayilandisela. Inkosi yasimmisela induna ethile, isithi: Buyisela konke okwakungokwakhe, laso sonke isivuno sensimu kusukela mhla esuka elizweni kuze kube 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.

UElisha wasefika eDamaseko, njalo uBenihadadi inkosi yeSiriya wayegula. Wasetshelwa kwathiwa: Umuntu kaNkulunkulu ufikile lapha.

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.

Inkosi yasisithi kuHazayeli: Thatha esandleni sakho isipho, uyehlangabeza umuntu kaNkulunkulu, ubusubuza eNkosini ngaye usithi: Ngizasila yini kulumkhuhlane?

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 wasesiyamhlangabeza, wathatha isipho esandleni sakhe, ngitsho esakho konke okuhle kweDamaseko, imithwalo yamakamela engamatshumi amane, weza wema phambi kwakhe, wathi: Indodana yakho uBenihadadi inkosi yeSiriya ingithumile kuwe isithi: Ngizasila yini kulumkhuhlane?

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.

UElisha wasesithi kuye: Hamba uthi kuye: Ungasila lokusila, kodwa iNkosi ingibonisile ukuthi uzakufa lokufa.

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.

Wasemjolozela waze waba lenhloni. Umuntu kaNkulunkulu waselila.

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 wasesithi: Inkosi yami ililelani? Wasesithi: Ngoba ngiyazi ububi ozabenza ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli; uzathungela inqaba zabo ngomlilo, ubulale amajaha abo ngenkemba, uphahlaze abantwanyana babo, uqhaqhe abesifazana babo abakhulelweyo.

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.

Kodwa uHazayeli wathi: Kodwa iyini inceku yakho eyinja nje, ukuthi yenze linto enkulu? UElisha wasesithi: INkosi ingibonisile ukuthi uzakuba yinkosi phezu kweSiriya.

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.

Wasesuka kuElisha weza enkosini yakhe eyathi kuye: UElisha utheni kuwe? Wasesithi: Ungitshele ukuthi uzasila lokusila.

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.

Kwasekusithi kusisa wathatha ingubo, wayigxamuza emanzini, wayendlala phezu kobuso bakhe waze wafa. UHazayeli wasesiba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

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.

Njalo ngomnyaka wesihlanu kaJoramu indodana kaAhabi inkosi yakoIsrayeli, lapho uJehoshafathi eyinkosi yakoJuda, uJehoramu indodana kaJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda waba yinkosi.

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

Wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lambili lapho esiba yinkosi, wabusa iminyaka eyisificaminwembili eJerusalema.

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.

Wasehamba ezindleleni zamakhosi akoIsrayeli njengokwenza kwendlu kaAhabi, ngoba indodakazi kaAhabi yayingumkakhe; wenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi.

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.

Kodwa iNkosi kayithandanga ukuchitha uJuda ngenxa kaDavida inceku yayo, njengokuthembisa kwayo kuye ukuthi izanika isibane kuye zonke izinsuku, lemadodaneni akhe.

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.

Ensukwini zakhe iEdoma yahlamuka isuka phansi kwesandla sakoJuda, yabeka inkosi phezu kwayo.

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.

UJoramu wasewelela eZayiri lazo zonke inqola zilaye; yena wavuka ebusuku watshaya amaEdoma ayemzingelezele, lenduna zezinqola; labantu babalekela emathenteni abo.

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.

Ngakho iEdoma yahlamuka isuka phansi kwesandla sakoJuda kuze kube lamuhla. Khona iLibhina yahlamuka 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.

Ezinye-ke zezindaba zikaJoramu, lakho konke akwenzayo, kakubhalwanga yini egwalweni lwemilando yamakhosi akoJuda?

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.

UJoramu waselala laboyise, wangcwatshelwa kuboyise emzini kaDavida. UAhaziya indodana yakhe wasesiba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

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 kaAhabi inkosi yakoIsrayeli uAhaziya indodana kaJehoramu, inkosi yakoJuda, waba yinkosi.

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.

UAhaziya wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lambili lapho esiba yinkosi, wabusa umnyaka owodwa eJerusalema. Lebizo likanina lalinguAthaliya, indodakazi kaOmri inkosi yakoIsrayeli.

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.

Wasehamba ngendlela yendlu kaAhabi, wenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi, njengendlu kaAhabi, ngoba wayengumkhwenyana wendlu kaAhabi.

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.

Wasehamba loJoramu indodana kaAhabi ukulwa loHazayeli inkosi yeSiriya eRamothi-Gileyadi; amaSiriya aselimaza 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.

UJoramu inkosi wabuyela ukwelatshwa eJizereyeli amanxeba amaSiriya ayemtshaye wona eRama ekulweni kwakhe loHazayeli inkosi yeSiriya. UAhaziya indodana kaJehoramu inkosi yakoJuda wasesehla ukubona uJoramu indodana kaAhabi eJizereyeli, ngoba wayegula.
