2 Amakhosi 4
1 Umfazi wenye indoda phakathi kwexuku labaphrofethi wakhalaza ku-Elisha wathi, “Indoda yami ebiyinceku yakho isifile, njalo uyakwazi ukuthi ibe imkhonza uThixo. Umkami ubelesikwelede sendoda ethile esifuna ukuthumba amadodana ami amabili ukuze abe yizigqili zayo.”
Azɔ la, nyɔnu aɖe si tso nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo srɔ̃wo dome la va fa avi na Elisa be, “Wò dɔla, srɔ̃nye ku eye wò ŋutɔ ènya ale si wòvɔ̃a Yehowae. Ke azɔ la, ame si si wònyi fe le la va be yeakplɔ vinye ŋutsuvi eveawo woazu yeƒe kluviwo.”
2 U-Elisha wamphendula wathi, “Ngingakunceda kanjani na? Akungitshele, kulani endlini yakho?” Umfelokazi wathi, “Incekukazi yakho ayilalutho ngaphandle kwengcosana yamafutha.”
Elisa biae be, “Nu ka mawɔ akpe ɖe ŋutiwò? Nuɖuɖu ƒe agbɔsɔsɔ kae le asiwò le wò aƒe me?” Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu be, “Nuɖuɖu aɖeke mele asinye wu ami atukpa ɖeka o.”
3 U-Elisha wasesithi, “Hamba uyekweboleka imbiza ezinengi kubomakhelwane bakho bonke. Ungaceli ezilutshwane nje.
Elisa gblɔ na nyɔnu la be, “Enyo, yi nàɣe ze kple gagba aɖewo tso xɔ̃wòwo kple wò aƒelikawo gbɔ.
4 Ubusungena endlini yakho lamadodana akho uvale umnyango. Ubusuthululela amafutha embizeni inye nganye, ithi ingagcwala uyibeke eceleni.”
Mi kple viwòwo miyi miaƒe xɔ me, eye miatu ʋɔa. Esia megbe la, trɔ ami si le wò atukpa la me la ɖe zeawo kple gagbaawo me. Tsɔ ɖe sia ɖe si yɔ la da ɖe axadzi!”
5 Wasuka kuye kwathi ngemva kwesikhathi wavala umnyango lamadodana akhe. Amadodana amqhubela imbiza yena elokhu ezigcwalisa ngamafutha.
Nyɔnu la wɔ nu si nyagblɔɖila la ɖo nɛ. Via ŋutsuwo tsɔ ze kple gagbawo siwo woɣe la vɛ nɛ eye wòtrɔ ami la ɖe wo me.
6 Kuthe imbiza zonke sezigcwele, wathi endodaneni yakhe, “Letha enye futhi.” Kodwa yaphendula yathi, “Akuselambiza eseleyo.” Amafutha kazabe esajuluka.
Sẽe ko la, zeawo kple gagbaawo katã yɔ banabana! Nyɔnu la gblɔ na via ŋutsuawo be, “Migatsɔ ze bubu vɛ.” Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ze aɖeke megali o!” Ale ami la dzudzɔ dodo le atukpa la me.
7 Wasuka wayatshela umuntu kaNkulunkulu, owathi, “Hamba uyethengisa amafutha lawo ubhadale izikwelede zakho. Wena lamadodana akho lizaphila ngaseleyo.”
Nyɔnu la yi ɖagblɔ nya la na Mawu ƒe Ame la eye wòɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Yi nàdzra ami la eye nàxe fe siwo nènyi. Ga si atsi anyi la, agasusɔ na wò kple viwòwo dzi kpɔkpɔ!”
8 Ngolunye usuku u-Elisha waya eShunemi. Kwakulowesifazane onothileyo, owamcela ukuba ahlale adle ukudla. Kwakusithi nxa ehambele khonale wayethola ukudla khonapho.
Gbe ɖeka la, Elisa yi Sunem eye nyɔnu kesinɔtɔ aɖe nɔ afi ma ame si ƒoe ɖe enu be wòatsi ye gbɔ aɖu nu. Ale ne egava to mɔ ma yina la, etɔna ɖe afi ma be yeaɖu nu.
9 Owesifazane wathi kumyeni wakhe, “Ngiyakwazi ukuthi lumuntu ohlala esedlula lapha ngumuntu ongcwele kaNkulunkulu.
Nyɔnu la gblɔ na srɔ̃a be, “Menya be ŋutsu sia, si va toa míaƒe mɔ dzi le afi sia edziedzi la nye Mawu ƒe ame kɔkɔe.
10 Kasimlungisele indlu ephezulu simfakele khona umbheda, itafula, isihlalo kanye lesibane. Kube yindlu azafikela kiyo nxa elapha kithi.”
Na míawɔ xɔ sue aɖe ɖe míaƒe xɔtame nɛ eye míatsɔ aba, kplɔ̃ kple zikpui kple akaɖi ada ɖe eme nɛ. Ekema ava tsi afi ma ɣe sia ɣi si wòava adze mía gbɔ.”
11 Kwelinye ilanga, u-Elisha wafika wayangena endlini yakhe leyo wacambalala khona.
Gbe ɖeka esi Elisa gava la, eyi ɖamlɔ anyi ɖe eƒe xɔ me.
12 Wathuma inceku yakhe uGehazi, wathi, “Ngibizela umShunami.” Ngakho inceku yambiza, wafika wema phansi kwakhe.
Egblɔ na eƒe subɔla, Gehazi be, “Yɔ Sunami nyɔnu la nam.” Gehazi yi ɖayɔe eye wòva tsi tsitre ɖe Elisa ŋkume.
13 U-Elisha wasesithi, “Umtshele uthi, ‘Usuzihluphe kangaka usilungisela. Kambe kuyini ongakwenzelwa wena? Singakukhulumela yini enkosini loba kumlawuli wamabutho na?’” Owesifazane wathi, “Ngilomuzi phakathi kwabantu bakithi.”
Elisa gblɔ na Gehazi be, “Gblɔ na nyɔnu la be ‘Èkpe fu siawo katã ɖe mía ta. Azɔ la, nu kae woawɔ na wò? Míƒo nu ɖe nuwò le fia la ŋkume loo alo aʋafia la ŋkumea?’” Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu be, “Aƒe le asinye le nye ŋutɔ nye amewo dome.”
14 U-Elisha wabuza wathi, “Kuyini esingamenzela khona na?” UGehazi wathi, “Kalandodana njalo umyeni wakhe useluphele.”
Elisa bia Gehazi emegbe be, “Nu ka míawɔ nɛ?” Gehazi ɖo eŋu be, “Viŋutsu mele esi o, evɔ srɔ̃a nye amegãɖeɖi!”
15 Ngakho u-Elisha wathi, “Mbize.” Inceku yasimbiza, wafika wema emnyango. U-Elisha wathi,
Elisa gblɔ be, “Yɔe ɖa.” Eyi ɖayɔe eye nyɔnu la va tsi tsitre ɖe xɔa ƒe mɔnu.
16 “Ngasolesi isikhathi ngomnyaka ozayo uzaphatha indodana ezandleni zakho.” Owesifazane waphikisa wathi, “Atshi, nkosi yami, ungabokhohlisa incekukazi yakho, wena muntu kaNkulunkulu!”
Elisa gblɔ nɛ be, “Le ƒe si gbɔna ƒe ɣe aleawo ɣi tututu la, àlé viŋutsuvi ɖe wò abɔwo me.” Nyɔnu la gblɔ be, “Ao, nye aƒetɔ, mègable wò dɔla o, O Mawu ƒe ame.”
17 Owesifazane wathatha isisu, kwathi ngomnyaka owalandelayo ngesikhathi esifananayo wakhululeka wazuza indodana njengokutshelwa kwakhe ngu-Elisha.
Ke nyɔnu la fɔ fu eye esi ƒe trɔ le ɣeyiɣi ma ke dzi la, edzi ŋutsuvi abe ale si Elisa gblɔe nɛ do ŋgɔe ene.
18 Umntwana wakhula, kwathi ngelinye ilanga walandela uyise, owayelabavuni.
Ɖevi la tsi eye gbe ɖeka la, edo go yi fofoa gbɔ, ame si nɔ nukuxalawo gbɔ.
19 Wasesithi kuyise, “Maye ikhanda lami! Maye ikhanda lami!” Uyise wathuma isisebenzi wathi, “Thwala umntwana uye laye kunina.”
Ɖevi la gblɔ na fofoa be, “Nye ta! Nye ta!” Fofoa gblɔ na dɔla ɖeka be, “Kɔe yi na dadaa.”
20 Isisebenzi sesimthwalele kunina unina wamanga kwaze kwaba semini enkulu umntwana wasesifa.
Esi dɔla la kɔe yi na dadaa la, ɖevi la nɔ akɔ nɛ va se ɖe ŋdɔ me eye ɖevi la ku.
21 Unina wamthatha wayamlalisa embhedeni womuntu kaNkulunkulu, waphuma wasevala umnyango.
Nyɔnu la yi dziƒoxɔ la dzi hetsɔ ɖevi kuku la mlɔ Mawu ƒe ame la ƒe aba dzi, tu ʋɔa eye wòdo go.
22 Owesifazane wathumela kumkakhe ilizwi elithi, “Ngicela ungithumele esinye sezisebenzi kanye lobabhemi ukuze ngiphange ngiyebona umuntu kaNkulunkulu ngiphenduke.”
Eyɔ srɔ̃a eye wògblɔ nɛ bena, “Meɖe kuku, yi nàɖo wò dɔlawo dometɔ ɖeka kple tedzi ɖem ale be mate ŋu ayi Mawu ƒe ame la gbɔ kaba, atrɔ agbɔ.”
23 Umyeni wakhe wathi, “Kungani umlanda lamuhla? Akusikho ekuThwaseni kweNyanga njalo akusilo iSabatha.” Owesifazane wathi, “Kulungile kunjalo.”
Ŋutsu la ɖo eŋu be, “Nu ka ŋuti nàyi egbɔ egbe? Egbe menye Dzinu Yeye alo Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke o.” Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Anyo ne mayi.”
24 Wethesa ubabhemi wasesithi kusisebenzi sakhe, “Khokhela; ungahambi kancane usenzela mina ngaphandle kokuba ngikutshele.”
Ebla akpa na tedzi la eye wògblɔ na eƒe dɔla la be, “Doe sesĩe, mègadoe ɖɔɖɔɖɔ nam o, negbe megblɔe na wo hafi.”
25 Ngakho waphuma wahamba waze wayamthola umuntu kaNkulunkulu eNtabeni yaseKhameli. Ebona owesifazane esesebucwadlana, umuntu kaNkulunkulu wathi kuGehazi inceku yakhe, “Khangela! Nanguyana umShunami!
Ale wodze mɔ heva Mawu ƒe ame la gbɔ le Karmel to dzi. Esi Mawu ƒe ame la kpɔe ɖaa le adzɔge la, egblɔ na eƒe dɔla Gehazi be, “Kpɔ ɖa, Sunami nyɔnu lae nye ekem.
26 Gijima umhlangabeze umbuze uthi, ‘Konke kulungile kuwe na? Umkakho uyaphila na? Umntanakho uyaphila na?’” Owesifazane wathi, “Konke kulungile.”
Ƒu du nàyi ɖakpee, nàbiae be, ‘Mi katã miedɔ nyuiea? Srɔ̃wò fɔ sesĩea? Viwò la fɔ nyuiea?’” Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu be, “Nu sia nu le nyuie.”
27 Kodwa esefikile emuntwini kaNkulunkulu entabeni, wagagadlela inyawo zakhe. UGehazi weza kuye wamfuqela khatshana, kodwa umuntu kaNkulunkulu wathi, “Myekele! Uphakathi kosizi olukhulu, kodwa uThixo ukufihlile kimi lokho njalo kangitshelanga ukuthi kungani.”
Esi wòɖo Mawu ƒe ame la gbɔ le toa dzi la, edze klo lé eƒe afɔ. Gehazi va be yeatutui ɖa gake Mawu ƒe ame la gblɔ nɛ be, “Ɖe asi le eŋu! Ele xaxa gã aɖe me gake Yehowa ɣlae ɖem eye megblɔ nu si tae la nam o.”
28 Owesifazane wathi, “Ngake ngacela indodana kuwe na, nkosi yami? Angizange ngikutshele yini ukuthi ungaze wangikhohlisa na?”
Nyɔnu la gblɔ nɛ be, “Nye aƒetɔ, ɖe mebia viŋutsu wòa? Nyemegblɔ na wò be, ‘Mègaflum o’ mahã.”
29 U-Elisha wathi kuGehazi, “Khwincela ijazi lakho ebhantini, uphathe intonga yami ngesandla ubusugijima. Loba ngubani ohlangana laye, ungambingeleli, loba angaze akubingelele ungamphenduli. Ufike ubeke intonga yami ebusweni bomfana.”
Elisa gblɔ na Gehazi be, “Bla wò ali dzi, tsɔ nye atikplɔ ɖe asi eye nàƒu du. Ne èdo go ame aɖe la, mègado gbe nɛ o eye ne ame aɖe do gbe na wò la, mègalɔ̃ o. Tsɔ nye atikplɔ la da ɖe ɖevi la ƒe mo.”
30 Kodwa unina womfana wathi, “Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ephila lanjengoba uphila, angiyikukutshiya.” Ngakho wasuka walandela owesifazane.
Vinɔ la gblɔ be, “Meta Yehowa kple wò agbe be nyemayi aƒe me o negbe ɖeko nàyi kplim hafi!” Ale Elisa tso hedze nyɔnu la yome.
31 UGehazi wahle wagijima phambili wayabeka intonga ebusweni bomfana, kodwa akuzwakalanga lutho njalo kanyikinyekanga. Ngakho uGehazi wabuyela ukuyahlangabeza u-Elisha wamtshela wathi, “Umfana kavukanga.”
Gehazi do ŋgɔ na wo ɖatsɔ atikplɔ la da ɖe ɖevi la ƒe mo, ke nya aɖeke medzɔ o. Agbe ƒe dzesi aɖeke menɔ ɖevi la me o. Ale Gehazi trɔ ɖatu Elisa eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Ɖevi la menyɔ o.”
32 Ekufikeni kwakhe endlini u-Elisha, wafumana lakanye nangu umfana usembhedeni wakhe ufile.
Esi Elisa ɖo aƒea me la, ɖevi kuku lae nye ekem wotsɔ mlɔ eƒe aba dzi.
33 Wangena wavala umnyango baba bobabili lomfana wasekhuleka kuThixo.
Ege ɖe xɔa me, tu ʋɔa ɖe wo ame evea nu eye wòdo gbe ɖa na Yehowa.
34 Wakhwela embhedeni wacambalala phezu komfana, umlomo emlonyeni, amehlo emehlweni, izandla ezandleni. Uthe esazelula phezu komfana, umzimba womfana waqalisa ukukhudumala.
Esia megbe la, ede abati la dzi mlɔ ɖevi kuku la dzi, tsɔ eƒe nu ɖo ɖevi la ƒe nu dzi, eƒe ŋku ɖo eƒe ŋku dzi eye wòtsɔ eƒe asiwo ɖo eƒe asiwo dzi eye wòdrã ɖe ɖevi la dzi, kasia ɖevi la ƒe lãme de asi dzoxɔxɔ me!
35 U-Elisha wafulathela wahambahamba endlini waphinda wabuyela embhedeni wacambalala phezu komfana. Umfana wathimula kasikhombisa wasevula amehlo.
Elisa fɔ tso abati la dzi eye wòɖi tsa sẽe le xɔa me. Egatrɔ de abati la dzi eye wògadrã ɖe ɖevi la dzi. Azɔ la, ɖevi la nye zi adre eye wòʋu eƒe ŋkuwo!
36 U-Elisha wabiza uGehazi wathi kuye, “Biza umShunami.” Wakwenza lokho. Uthe esefikile wasesithi kuye owesifazane, “Thatha indodana yakho.”
Elisa yɔ Gehazi eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Yɔ Sunami nyɔnu la vɛ.” Eyi ɖayɔe. Esi nyɔnu la va la, egblɔ nɛ be, “Xɔ viwò ŋutsuvi la.”
37 UmShunami wangena, wawela ezinyaweni zakhe wakhothama. Wasethatha indodana yakhe wahamba.
Nyɔnu la va, dze klo ɖe eƒe afɔ nu eye wòde ta agu nɛ. Tete wòxɔ ɖevi la eye wòdo go.
38 U-Elisha wabuyela eGiligali njalo kulesosigaba kwakulendlala. Kwathi esesemhlanganweni lexuku labaphrofethi, wathuma isisebenzi sakhe wathi, “Beka imbiza enkulu eziko, uphekele abaphrofethi ukudla.”
Elisa trɔ azɔ yi Gilgal, afi si dɔwuame gã aɖe nɔ. Gbe ɖeka esi wònɔ nu fiam nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo la, egblɔ na Gehazi be wòawɔ atadi na nusrɔ̃lawo ƒe fiẽnuɖuɖu.
39 Omunye wabo wayakukha imibhida egangeni wathola ivini leganga. Wakha amajodwana wagcwalisa ophikweni lwesigqoko sakhe. Ekuphendukeni kwakhe wawaqobaqoba wawafaka embizeni yesitshebo lanxa kungekho owayesazi ukuthi kuyini.
Nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka yi gbe me be yeadi amagbe aɖe vɛ. Egbɔ kple amagbe aɖewo siwo treklɔnuwo le wo ŋu, tsɔ wo ɖo dzo dzi, ke menya be aɖi le wo me o.
40 Kwaphakululwa ukuba abantu badle, kodwa bathi beqalisa ukudla bamemeza bathi, “Awu muntu kaNkulunkulu kulokufa embizeni!” Kabazabe besakudla.
Esi ameawo de asi nua ɖuɖu me ko la, wodo ɣli be, “Oo, Mawu ƒe ame, aɖi le nuɖuɖu la me!”
41 U-Elisha wathi, “Lethani ifulawa.” Wayifaka embizeni wasesithi, “Baphakuleleni abantu badle.” Ngalokho kwakungaselabuthi embizeni.
Elisa na woku blimɔ aɖe vɛ nɛ. Etsɔe da ɖe ze la me eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Enyo azɔ; aɖi la vɔ le eme, miyi eɖuɖu dzi.” Woɖui eye naneke mewɔ wo o.
42 Kwafika indoda ethile ivela eBhali-Shalisha, iphathele umuntu kaNkulunkulu izinkwa zebhali ezingamatshumi amabili, zibhekhwe ngezilimo zakuqala. U-Elisha wathi, “Nikani abantu badle.”
Gbe ɖeka la, ame aɖe si tso Baal Salisa la va na bli mumu kotoku ɖeka kple abolo blaeve siwo wowɔ kple lu yeye tso eƒe nuŋeŋe gbãtɔ me Mawu ƒe ame la. Elisa gblɔ na Gehazi be wòatsɔ wo ana nusrɔ̃lawo woaɖu.
43 Inceku yakhe yathi, “Ngingababela njani abantu abalikhulu okungaka?” Kodwa u-Elisha wathi, “Phakululela abantu badle. Ngoba ilizwi likaThixo lithi: ‘Bazakudla baze bakutshiye.’”
Gehazi bia be, “Nuɖuɖu sue sia ade na ame alafa ɖeka siawoa?” Ke Elisa gblɔ be, “Tsɔe na wo ko elabena Yehowa gblɔ be nuɖuɖu la asu ame sia ame eye ɖe gɔ̃ hã agatsi anyi!”
44 Inceku yasiphakululela abantu, badla baze bakutshiya, njengokutsho kwelizwi likaThixo.
Nuɖuɖua su ame sia ame eye ɖe gɔ̃ hã gatsi anyi abe ale si Yehowa gblɔ ene!
