2 Bassekabaka 4

1 Awo olwatuuka ne wabaawo nnamwandu, eyali afumbiddwa omu ku abo abaali mu kibiina kya bannabbi, n’agenda eri Erisa ng’akaaba n’amugamba nti, “Omuddu wo, baze yafa, era omanyi nga omuddu wo yatyanga Mukama. Naye kaakano eyali amubanja azze, ng’ayagala okutwala batabani bange okubafuula abaddu be.”

Ɛda bi, Elisa mfɛfoɔ adiyifoɔ no mu baako kunafoɔ baa ne nkyɛn, bɛsu kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Me kunu a na ɔsom wo no awu. Na wonim sɛdeɛ na ɔsuro Awurade. Nanso, seesei obi a mede no ka aba, rehunahuna sɛ, ɔbɛfa me mmammarima baanu sɛ nkoa.”

2 Erisa n’amuddamu nti, “Oyagala nkuyambe ntya? Ntegeeza, olina ki mu nnyumba?” N’amugamba nti, “Omuweereza wo ky’alinawo kyokka mu nnyumba twe tufuta otutono ennyo.”

Elisa bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na mɛtumi ayɛ de aboa wo? Kyerɛ me nneɛma a wowɔ wɔ efie.” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Menni hwee sɛ ngo ahina baako.”

3 Erisa n’amugamba nti, “Genda mu baliraanwa bo bonna obeeyazikeko ebintu ebyereere, nga bingi ddala.

Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ “Kɔfɛm nhina dodoɔ biara a wobɛnya firi wo nnamfonom ne wo mfɛfoɔ nkyɛn.

4 Oyingire mu nnyumba yo weggaliremu ggwe ne batabani bo, ottululire amafuta mu bintu ebyo byonna, ng’ekijjula ky’ossa wa bbali.”

Afei, fa wo mmammarima no kɔ wo fie, na to ɛpono mu. Hwie ngo no firi wʼahina no mu, gugu nhina no mu. Deɛ ɛbɛyɛ ma biara, yi si nkyɛn.”

5 Bwe yava waali n’addayo eka ne yeggalira mu nnyumba ye n’abaana be. Ne bamuleetera ebita nga ye bw’attulula.

Enti, ɔyɛɛ saa. Ne mmammarima no de nhina bebree brɛɛ no, ma ɔhyehyɛɛ no ma ma.

6 Ebintu byonna ebyali awo bwe byajjula, n’agamba omu ku batabani be nti, “Ndeetera ekintu ekirala.” Naye n’amuddamu nti, “Biweddeyo.” Awo amafuta ne gakoma.

Ankyɛre na emu biara yɛɛ ma tɛnn. Ɔka kyerɛɛ ne mmammarima no mu baako sɛ, “Brɛ me ahina foforɔ.” Ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ebi nni hɔ bio.” Na afei ngo no a ɔrehwie no saeɛ.

7 Amangwago nnamwandu n’addayo ew’omusajja wa Katonda. Omusajja wa Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Genda otunde amafuta ago, osasule amabanja go, ebinaafikkawo bikuliisenga ggwe ne batabani bo.”

Ɛberɛ a ɔkaa asɛm a asi no kyerɛɛ Onyankopɔn onipa no, ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Afei, tɔn ngo no, na fa tua wʼaka, na sika no bi bɛka ama wode ahwɛ wo ho ne wo mmammarima no.”

8 Awo olwatuuka Erisa n’agenda e Sunemu. Mu Sunemu mwalimu omukazi nnaggagga, eyamwegayirira alye ku mmere ey’omu nnyumba ye. Awo olwatuuka, buli lwe yayitangawo, n’akyamira eyo okulya ku mmere.

Ɛda koro bi, Elisa kɔɔ Sunem kurom. Na ɔbaa ɔdefoɔ bi te kuro no mu. Ɔtoo nsa frɛɛ Elisa sɛ ɔmmɛdidi. Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, ɛberɛ biara a ɔbɛtwam hɔ no, ɔfa hɔ kɔdidi.

9 Omukazi n’agamba bba nti, “Laba kimbikkuliddwa nti oyo musajja wa Katonda, atera okuyitira wano.

Ɔka kyerɛɛ ne kunu sɛ, “Megye di sɛ saa ɔbarima yi a ɔtaa ba ha yi yɛ Onyankopɔn onipa kronkron.

10 Kale nno katumutegekere ekisenge waggulu, tumuteekereyo ekitanda n’emmeeza, n’entebe, n’ettabaaza by’anaakozesanga ng’azze okutukyalira.”

Ma yɛnsiesie ɛdan bi mma no wɔ ɛsoro hɔ na yɛmfa mpa, ɛpono, akonnwa ne kanea nsi mu mma no. Na ɛberɛ biara a ɔbɛba ha no, wanya baabi asoeɛ.”

11 Lumu, Erisa n’akyalayo, n’agenda mu kisenge kye, n’awummulirako eyo.

Ɛda bi, Elisa sane baa Sunem. Ɔkɔɔ ne soro dan no mu kɔsoɛe.

12 N’agamba omuweereza we Gekazi nti, “Yita Omusunammu oyo.” N’amuyita, n’ajja n’ayimirira mu maaso ge.

Ɔka kyerɛɛ ne ɔsomfoɔ Gehasi sɛ, “Ka kyerɛ ɔbaa no sɛ, mepɛ sɛ meka asɛm bi kyerɛ no.” Ɔbaa no baeɛ no,

13 Erisa n’agamba Gekazi nti, “Mugambe nti, ‘Otulabiridde bulungi nnyo. Kaakano kiki kyewandyagadde kikukolerwe? Wandyagadde tukwogerere eri Kabaka oba ew’omuduumizi w’eggye ku nsonga yonna?’” N’amuddamu nti, “Mbeera mu bantu bange.”

Elisa ka kyerɛɛ Gehasi sɛ, “Ka kyerɛ no sɛ, yɛn ani asɔ ne som pa a wasom yɛn no. Na bisa no deɛ yɛn so yɛbɛtumi ayɛ ama no. Ɔpɛ sɛ medi ne ho adanseɛ kyerɛ ɔhene anaa asraafoɔ sahene no?” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Dabi, ɛfiri sɛ, mʼabusuafoɔ hwɛ me yie.”

14 Erisa n’abuuza Gekazi nti, “Kiki ekiba kimukolerwa?” Gekazi n’addamu nti, “Laba talina mwana, ate ng’akaddiye.”

Akyire yi, Elisa bisaa Gehasi sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na wogye di sɛ yɛbɛtumi ayɛ ama no?” Ɔto maa no sɛ, “Ɔnni babarima na ne kunu nso abɔ akɔkoraa.”

15 Erisa n’amugamba nti, “Muyite.” Bwe yamuyita, n’ajja n’ayimirira mu mulyango.

Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Frɛ no bra bio.” Ɔbaa no baeɛ no, Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no wɔ ɛpono no ano sɛ,

16 Erisa n’amugamba nti, “Omwaka ogujja, mu biro ng’ebya kaakano oliwambaatira omwana owoobulenzi.” Omukyala n’amuddamu nti, “Nedda mukama wange, tolimba muweereza wo, ayi omusajja wa Katonda.”

“Afe sɛsɛɛ saa ɛberɛ yi ara mu, na ɔbabarima da wo srɛ so.” Ɔteaa mu sɛ, “Dabi, me wura, mesrɛ wo, ntwa me nkontompo saa. Ao, Onyankopɔn onipa.”

17 Naye oluvannyuma omukazi n’aba olubuto, era omwaka ogwaddirira mu biro bye bimu, n’azaala omwana wabulenzi, nga Erisa bwe yali amugambye.

Na ampa ara, ɛberɛ tiawa bi akyi, ɔbaa no nyinsɛneeɛ. Na afe saa ɛberɛ no ara, ɔwoo ɔbabarima sɛdeɛ Elisa kaeɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ.

18 Omwana n’akula, naye olunaku lumu n’addukira ewa kitaawe eyali mu nnimiro n’abakunguzi.

Ne ba no nyiniiɛ no, da bi, ɔkɔsraa nʼagya a na ɔne nʼapaafoɔ reyɛ adwuma.

19 N’amutegeeza nti, “Omutwe gunnuma, omutwe gunnuma!” Kitaawe n’agamba omu ku baddu be nti, “Mutwalire maama we.”

Prɛko pɛ, ɔkaa sɛ, “Me ti pae me! Me ti pae me!” Nʼagya ka kyerɛɛ nʼapaafoɔ no mu baako sɛ, “Fa no kɔ efie kɔma ne maame.”

20 Awo omuddu n’amusitula n’amutwala eri nnyina, omwana n’atuula ku mubiri gwa nnyina okutuusa essaawa ey’omu ttuntu n’oluvannyuma n’afa.

Ɔpaani no de no kɔɔ efie. Ne maame gyee no too ne srɛ so. Nanso, ɛduruu owigyinaeɛ mu no, ɔwuiɛ.

21 Nnyina n’asitula omulambo gwe, n’agutwala waggulu n’aguteeka ku kitanda eky’omusajja wa Katonda, n’afuluma, n’aggalawo oluggi.

Ɔpagyaa no de no kɔtoo Onyankopɔn onipa no mpa so. Ɔtoo ɛpono no mu gyaa no hɔ kɔeɛ.

22 N’atumira bba ng’agamba nti, “Mpayo omuddu omu n’endogoyi emu ŋŋende mangu ew’omusajja wa Katonda, nkomewo.”

Ɔsomaa ɔbɔfoɔ kɔbɔɔ ne kunu amaneɛ sɛ, “Soma apaafoɔ no baako na ɔmfa afunumu mmra, sɛdeɛ mɛtumi akɔduru Onyankopɔn onipa no hɔ ntɛm, asane aba.”

23 N’amubuuza nti, “Kiki ekikutwala gy’ali leero? Si lunaku lwa mwezi ogwakaboneka wadde olwa Ssabbiiti.” Omukazi n’amuddamu nti, “Teweeraliikirira, kiri bulungi.”

Ɔbisaa sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wopɛ sɛ wokɔ ɛnnɛ yi ara? Ɛnyɛ Ɔbosome Foforɔ Afahyɛ, na ɛnyɛ homeda nso.” Nanso, ɔkaa sɛ, “Ɛwom saa.”

24 Ne yeebagala endogoyi, n’agamba omuddu we nti, “Ggwe kulemberamu, totta ku bigere wabula nga nkugambye.”

Enti, ɔhyehyɛɛ afunumu no, ka kyerɛɛ ɔpaani no sɛ, “Ka wo ho. Ɛnyɛ me enti na wobɛto wo bo ase, na mmom, kɔ ara, gye sɛ maka sɛ to wo bo ase.”

25 Ne basitula, n’agenda eri omusajja wa Katonda ku Lusozi Kalumeeri. Omusajja wa Katonda bwe yamuleengera ng’akyali walako, n’agamba omuddu we Gekazi nti, “Laba, Omusunammu wuuli!

Ɔrebɛduru Onyankopɔn onipa no nkyɛn wɔ bepɔ Karmel so no, Elisa hunuu no wɔ akyirikyiri. Ɔka kyerɛɛ Gehasi sɛ, “Hwɛ, ɔbaa a ɔfiri Sunam no reba.

26 Dduka omusisinkane omubuuze nti, ‘Oli bulungi ne balo ali bulungi? Ate omwana?’” Omukazi n’amuddamu nti, “Kiri bulungi.”

Tu mmirika kɔhyia no, na bisa no sɛ, ‘Wo ne wo kunu ne wo ba ho yɛ anaa?’” Ɔbaa no buaa Gehasi sɛ, “Yɛn nyinaa ho yɛ.”

27 Bwe yatuuka okumpi n’olusozi awaali omusajja wa Katonda, n’agwa wansi ne yeenyweza ku bigere by’omusajja wa Katonda. Amangwago Gekazi n’ajja ng’ayagala okumugobawo, naye omusajja wa Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Muleke! Kubanga ali mu nnaku nnyingi nnyo, ate nga Mukama tannambikkulira nsonga, wadde okugintegeeza.”

Nanso, ɔbaa Onyankopɔn onipa no nkyɛn wɔ bepɔ no so no, ɔhwee ne nan ase, sɔɔ nʼanammɔn mu. Gehasi sum no, nanso Onyankopɔn onipa no kaa sɛ, “Gyaa no. Biribi reteetee no, na Awurade nso nkyerɛɛ me dekodeɛ no.”

28 Omukazi n’alyoka ayogerera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Nakusaba omwana, mukama wange? Saakugamba obutansuubiza ekisukkiridde?”

Na ɔbaa no kaa sɛ, “Wo ara me wura, wo na wokaa sɛ, mɛnya ɔbabarima. Na manka ankyerɛ wo sɛ mma memfa mʼani nto so?”

29 Erisa n’agamba Gekazi nti, “Weesibe ekimyu, okwate omuggo gwange otambule mangu nnyo nga bw’osobola. Bw’onoosisinkana omuntu yenna mu kkubo tomulamusa, ate bw’akulamusa tomwanukula. Ddira omuggo gwange ogugalamize ku kyenyi ky’omwana.”

Na Elisa ka kyerɛɛ Gehasi sɛ, “Boa wo ho, na mensoma wo, fa me poma no, na kɔ. Nkasa obiara ho wɔ ɛkwan so. Kɔ na fa poma no kɔto abɔfra no anim.”

30 Naye nnyina w’omwana n’agamba nti, “Nga Mukama bw’ali omulamu, era nga naawe bw’oli omulamu, sijja kukuleka mabega.” Erisa n’asituka n’amugoberera.

Na abarimaa no maame kaa sɛ, “Mmerɛ dodoɔ a Awurade te ase, na wo nso wote ase yi, merenkɔ efie gye sɛ woka me ho.” Enti, Elisa sane ne no kɔeɛ.

31 Gekazi ye n’abakulemberamu, n’agenda n’ateeka omuggo ku kyenyi ky’omulenzi, naye ne wataba kanyego newaakubadde okuddamu. Amangwago Gekazi n’addayo n’asisinkana Erisa, n’amutegeeza nti, “Omwana tagolokose.”

Gehasi yɛɛ ntɛm dii ɛkan, de poma no kɔtoo abɔfra no anim, nanso biribiara ansi. Nkwa ho nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ biara amma. Ɔsane nʼakyi kɔhyiaa Elisa, bɔɔ no amaneɛ sɛ, “Abɔfra no nnyaneeɛ.”

32 Awo Erisa n’atuuka ku nnyumba, n’agenda butereevu mu kisenge gye yasanga omulambo gw’omwana nga gugalamiziddwa ku kitanda kye.

Ɛberɛ a Elisa duruu hɔ no, ampa na abɔfra no awu da odiyifoɔ no mpa so.

33 N’ayingira ekisenge, ne yeggalirayo, n’atandika okusaba Mukama.

Ɔno nko kɔɔ hɔ, too ne ho ɛpono mu, bɔɔ Awurade mpaeɛ.

34 N’alinnya waggulu ku kitanda n’agalamira ku mulambo, omumwa ku mumwa, amaaso ku maaso, n’emikono ku mikono eby’omulambo. Mu kiseera ekyo ng’akyagugalamiddeko ne gutandika okubuguumirira.

Afei, ɔbutuu abɔfra no so, de nʼano tuaa abɔfra no ano, de nʼani fam abɔfra no ani, de ne nsa sosɔɔ abɔfra no nsa. Afei, abɔfra no ho hyɛɛ aseɛ yɛɛ hye bio.

35 Erisa n’ayimuka, n’atambulatambula mu kisenge, n’oluvannyuma n’addamu n’agalamira ku mulambo. Omulenzi n’ayasimula emirundi musanvu, omulenzi n’azibula amaaso ge.

Elisa sɔre, dii akɔneaba wɔ ɛdan no mu kakra. Afei, ɔdaa abɔfra no so bio. Saa ɛberɛ yi, abɔfra no nwansii mprɛnson, na ɔtee nʼani.

36 Awo Erisa n’ayita Gekazi n’amugamba nti, “Yita Omusunammu oyo.” N’amuyita. Omusunammu bwe yajja n’amugamba nti, “Situla omwana wo.”

Afei, Elisa somaa Gehasi sɛ, “Frɛ abɔfra no na bra.” Ne maame no baeɛ no, Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wo ba no nie, fa no kɔ.”

37 Omukazi n’ayingira, n’avuunama ku bigere bya Erisa, n’asitula omwana we n’afuluma.

Ɔfiri ahodwirie mu hwee ne nan ase daa no ase. Afei, ɔfaa ne ba no, de no siane kɔɔ fam.

38 Oluvannyuma, Erisa ng’azeeyo e Girugaali, ate nga mu kiseera kye kimu enjala egudde mu nsi, ekibiina kya bannabbi ne bakuŋŋaanira ewuwe. N’agamba omuweereza we nti, “Abaana ba bannabbi bafumbireyo enva mu ntamu ennene.”

Elisa sane kɔɔ Gilgal, nanso na ɛkɔm asi asase no so. Ɛda bi a adiyifokuo tete nʼanim no, ɔka kyerɛɛ ne ɔsomfoɔ sɛ, “Fa ɛsɛn kɛseɛ si ogya so, na yɛ abɔmu ma saa mmarima yi.”

39 Omu ku bo n’alaga mu nnimiro n’anoga amaboga, n’alaba n’omuzabbibu ogw’omu nsiko, n’anoga ku bibala byagwo ebiwera, n’assa mu lugoye lwe. N’addayo n’abisalirasalira mu ntamu ey’enva. Teyamanya nga bye yanoga birimu akabi.

Wɔn mu baako kɔɔ wiram sɛ ɔrekɔpɛ atosodeɛ, na ɔnyaa ɛferɛ bɔtɔ ma de baeɛ. Ɔtwitwa de guu ɛsɛn no mu a na ɔnnim sɛ awuduro wɔ mu.

40 Buli muntu ne bamusenera ku nva; naye bwe baaziryako, ne bayogerera waggulu nti, “Omusajja wa Katonda mu ntamu mulimu okufa.” Ne batazirya.

Na wɔdii kakra bi pɛ, wɔteateaam sɛ, “Onyankopɔn onipa, awuduro wɔ abɔmu no mu!” Ɛno enti, wɔanni bio.

41 Erisa n’agamba nti, “Mundeetereyo obuwunga.” Ne babumuleetera n’abuteeka mu ntamu y’enva, n’abagamba nti, “Mugabule abantu balye.” Ne wataba kabi mu ntamu y’enva.

Elisa kaa sɛ, “Mommrɛ me asikyiresiam kakra.” Ɔde guu ɛsɛn no mu, kaa sɛ, “Afei, ayɛ yie enti monkɔdi.” Na anha wɔn bio.

42 Waaliwo omusajja eyava e Baalusalisa, n’aleetera omusajja wa Katonda emigaati egya sayiri kumi n’ebiri nga mmere ey’okubibala ebibereberye, ate era n’amuleetera n’ebirimba eby’eŋŋaano embisi. Erisa n’agamba omuweereza we nti, “Bigabire abantu babirye.”

Ɛda bi, ɔbarima bi a ɔyɛ Baal-Salisani brɛɛ Onyankopɔn onipa no atokoɔ foforɔ bɔtɔ ma, ne burodo mua aduonu. Elisa kaa sɛ, “Fa ma adiyifokuo no, na wɔnni.”

43 Omuweereza we n’amuddamu nti, “Bino mbigabula ntya abantu ekikumi?”

Ɔsomfoɔ no teaam sɛ, “Wose sɛn? Kakra yi na yɛmfa mma nnipa ɔha yi anaa?” Nanso, Elisa tii mu sɛ, “Fa ma adiyifokuo no, na wɔnni, na Awurade ka sɛ, ‘Obiara bɛdi amee, na ebi mpo bɛka akyire.’”

44 Naye Erisa n’amuddamu nti, “Bigabire abantu babirye, kubanga bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Banaalya ne bibalemeranawo.’” N’abibagabula, ne balya, ne bibalemeranawo, ng’ekigambo kya Mukama bwe kyali.

Na ampa ara, obiara didi meeɛ ma ebi mpo kaaeɛ, sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ ho bɔ no.
