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.”
O KEKAHI wahine no na wahine a na haumana a ka poe kaula, auwe aku la oia ia Elisai, i aku la, Ua make kau kauwa o kun kane; a ua ike no oe, ua makau kau kauwa ia Iehova: a ua kii mai ka mea i aieia kana e lawe aku i kuu mau keikikane i mau kauwa nana.
2 U-Elisha wamphendula wathi, “Ngingakunceda kanjani na? Akungitshele, kulani endlini yakho?” Umfelokazi wathi, “Incekukazi yakho ayilalutho ngaphandle kwengcosana yamafutha.”
I aku la o Elisai ia ia, Heaha ka'u e hana aku ai nou? e hai mai oe ia'u, heaha kau mea iloko o ka hale? I mai la ia, Aole kekahi mea i au kauwawahine iloko o ka hale, hookahi ipu aila wale no.
3 U-Elisha wasesithi, “Hamba uyekweboleka imbiza ezinengi kubomakhelwane bakho bonke. Ungaceli ezilutshwane nje.
I aku la ia, E hele oe, e noi aku i kou mau hoalauna a pau i na ipu nou, i na ipu kaawale hoi; mai noi uuku.
4 Ubusungena endlini yakho lamadodana akho uvale umnyango. Ubusuthululela amafutha embizeni inye nganye, ithi ingagcwala uyibeke eceleni.”
A i kou komo ana mai iloko, e pani aku i ka puka mahope ou a mahope o kau mau keikikane, a e ninini ae maloko o ia mau ipu a pau, a hookaawale i ka mea i piha.
5 Wasuka kuye kwathi ngemva kwesikhathi wavala umnyango lamadodana akhe. Amadodana amqhubela imbiza yena elokhu ezigcwalisa ngamafutha.
A hele ia mai ona aku la, a pani aku la i ka puka mahope ona a mahope o kana mau keikikane, na mea i lawe mai ia ia, a ninini iho la ia.
6 Kuthe imbiza zonke sezigcwele, wathi endodaneni yakhe, “Letha enye futhi.” Kodwa yaphendula yathi, “Akuselambiza eseleyo.” Amafutha kazabe esajuluka.
A piha na ipu i aku la ia i kana keiki, E lawe hou mai i ipu, I mai la kela ia ia, Aohe ipu i koe. A mau iho la ka aila.
7 Wasuka wayatshela umuntu kaNkulunkulu, owathi, “Hamba uyethengisa amafutha lawo ubhadale izikwelede zakho. Wena lamadodana akho lizaphila ngaseleyo.”
Alaila hele ia a hai aku i ke kanaka o ke Akua: i mai la kela ia ia, E hele oe, a e kuai aku i ka aila, a hookaa aku i kau aie, a e ola oe, a me kau mau keiki i ke koena.
8 Ngolunye usuku u-Elisha waya eShunemi. Kwakulowesifazane onothileyo, owamcela ukuba ahlale adle ukudla. Kwakusithi nxa ehambele khonale wayethola ukudla khonapho.
A i kekahi la, hele aku la o Elisai i Sunema, a malaila he wahine koikoi, a koi mai la kela ia ia e ai i ka ai. A i kona manawa i hele ae ai ma ia wahi, kipa ae la ia malaila e ai i ka ai.
9 Owesifazane wathi kumyeni wakhe, “Ngiyakwazi ukuthi lumuntu ohlala esedlula lapha ngumuntu ongcwele kaNkulunkulu.
I aku la ia i kana kane, Aia hoi ke ike nei au, o ka mea i maalo pinepine ae ma o kaua nei, he kanaka hemolele ia o ke Akua.
10 Kasimlungisele indlu ephezulu simfakele khona umbheda, itafula, isihlalo kanye lesibane. Kube yindlu azafikela kiyo nxa elapha kithi.”
Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hana kaua i wahi keena uuku maluna o ka papohaku, a e waiho malaila i wahi moe, a i wahi papaaina a i wahi noho, a i wahi ipukukui; a i ka manawa e hele mai ai ia io kaua nei, e kipa ae ia malaila.
11 Kwelinye ilanga, u-Elisha wafika wayangena endlini yakhe leyo wacambalala khona.
A i kekahi la, hele aku la ia malaila, a kipa ae la ia ma ke keena maluna, a moe iho la ilaila.
12 Wathuma inceku yakhe uGehazi, wathi, “Ngibizela umShunami.” Ngakho inceku yambiza, wafika wema phansi kwakhe.
I aku la oia ia Gehazi i kana kauwa, E kahea aku oe i keia wahine no Sunema nei. A i kona kahea ana ia ia, ku iho la ia imua oua.
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.”
Olelo aku la o Elisai i kana kauwa, Ano e i aku oe i ka wahine, Aia hoi, ua manao mai oe ia maua i keia malama ana a pau, heaha ka mea e. hanaia aku ai nou? e oleloia aku anei i ke alii nou; a i ka luna koa paha? I mai kela, Ke noho nei au iwaena o kuu poe kanaka.
14 U-Elisha wabuza wathi, “Kuyini esingamenzela khona na?” UGehazi wathi, “Kalandodana njalo umyeni wakhe useluphele.”
I aku la ia, Heaha la e hanaia aku ai nona? I mai la o Gehazi, He oiaio, aohe ana keiki, a ua elemakule kana kane.
15 Ngakho u-Elisha wathi, “Mbize.” Inceku yasimbiza, wafika wema emnyango. U-Elisha wathi,
I aku la ia, E kahea aku ia ia. Kahea aku kela ia ia, a ku mai la ia ma ka puka.
16 “Ngasolesi isikhathi ngomnyaka ozayo uzaphatha indodana ezandleni zakho.” Owesifazane waphikisa wathi, “Atshi, nkosi yami, ungabokhohlisa incekukazi yakho, wena muntu kaNkulunkulu!”
I aku la ia, A hiki i keia wa o kela makahiki, e puliki oe i keikikane. I mai la kela, Aole, e kuu haku, e ke kanaka o ke Akua; mai hoopunipuni oe i kau kauwawahine.
17 Owesifazane wathatha isisu, kwathi ngomnyaka owalandelayo ngesikhathi esifananayo wakhululeka wazuza indodana njengokutshelwa kwakhe ngu-Elisha.
Hapai ae la ka wahine, a hanau mai la i keikikane i kela manawa, o ka puni ana o ka makahiki, e like me ka olelo a Elisai ia ia.
18 Umntwana wakhula, kwathi ngelinye ilanga walandela uyise, owayelabavuni.
A nui ae la ke keiki; a i kekahi la, hele aku la ia i kona makuakane, i ka poe e oki ai ana.
19 Wasesithi kuyise, “Maye ikhanda lami! Maye ikhanda lami!” Uyise wathuma isisebenzi wathi, “Thwala umntwana uye laye kunina.”
I mai la kela i kona makuakane, Ea, o kuu poo, o kuu poo. I aku la ia i kahi kanaka ui, E lawe aku oe ia ia nei i kona makuwahine.
20 Isisebenzi sesimthwalele kunina unina wamanga kwaze kwaba semini enkulu umntwana wasesifa.
Hapai ae la oia ia ia, a hali aku ia ia i kona makuwahine, a noho iho ia maluna o kona uha a awakea, a make iho la.
21 Unina wamthatha wayamlalisa embhedeni womuntu kaNkulunkulu, waphuma wasevala umnyango.
Pii ae la ia, a waiho ia ia maluna o kahi moe o ke kanaka o ke Akua, a paniia aku la mahope ona, a hele aku la iwaho.
22 Owesifazane wathumela kumkakhe ilizwi elithi, “Ngicela ungithumele esinye sezisebenzi kanye lobabhemi ukuze ngiphange ngiyebona umuntu kaNkulunkulu ngiphenduke.”
Kahea aku la ia i kana kane, i aku la, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hoouna ia'u nei i kekahi o na kanaka ui, a me kekahi hoki, i holo aku ai au i ke kanaka o ke Akua, a hoi hou mai au.
23 Umyeni wakhe wathi, “Kungani umlanda lamuhla? Akusikho ekuThwaseni kweNyanga njalo akusilo iSabatha.” Owesifazane wathi, “Kulungile kunjalo.”
Ninau mai la ia, No ke aha la oe e hele aku ai io na la i keia la? aole he mahina hou, aole hoi he sabati. I aku la kela ia ia, E pono ana mai ia.
24 Wethesa ubabhemi wasesithi kusisebenzi sakhe, “Khokhela; ungahambi kancane usenzela mina ngaphandle kokuba ngikutshele.”
Kau aku la ia i ka noho maluna o ka hoki, i aku la i kona kanaka ui, E hooikaika a hele aku, mai lohi oe no'u i ka holo ana, ke olelo ole aku au ia oe.
25 Ngakho waphuma wahamba waze wayamthola umuntu kaNkulunkulu eNtabeni yaseKhameli. Ebona owesifazane esesebucwadlana, umuntu kaNkulunkulu wathi kuGehazi inceku yakhe, “Khangela! Nanguyana umShunami!
A hele aku la ia, a hiki aku i ke kanaka o ke Akua, ma ka mauna o Karemela. A ike mai la ke kanaka o ke Akua ia ia ma o aku, i aku la oia ia Gehazi i kana kauwa, Aia hoi kela wahine no Sunema.
26 Gijima umhlangabeze umbuze uthi, ‘Konke kulungile kuwe na? Umkakho uyaphila na? Umntanakho uyaphila na?’” Owesifazane wathi, “Konke kulungile.”
Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, ano e holo aku oe e halawai me ia, a e ninau aku ia ia, E pomaikai ana oe? e pomaikai ana kau kane? e pomaikai ana kau keiki? I mai la kela, e pomaikai ana.
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.”
A hiki aku la ia i ke kanaka o ke Akua ma ka mauna, hoopaa aku la ia ma kona wawae; a hele kokoke mai o Gehazi e hookuke aku ia ia. I mai la ke kanaka o ke Akua, E waiho malie ia ia nei, no ka mea, ua eha kona naau iloko ona: a ua huna mai o Iehova ia mea ia'u, aole ia i hai mai ia'u.
28 Owesifazane wathi, “Ngake ngacela indodana kuwe na, nkosi yami? Angizange ngikutshele yini ukuthi ungaze wangikhohlisa na?”
I aku la ka wahine, Ua nonoi aku anei au i keikikane na kuu haku mai? aole anei au i olelo aku, Mai hoopunipuni mai oe ia'u?
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.”
Olelo aku la oia ia Gehazi, e kaei oe i kou puhaka, a e lawe i ko'u kookoo ma kou lima, a e hele ma kou ala: ina e halawai oe me kekahi kanaka, mai uwe aku oe ia ia; a ina e uwe mai kekahi ia oe, mai olelo aku oe ia ia; a kau aku oe i kuu kookoo maluna o ka maka o ke keiki.
30 Kodwa unina womfana wathi, “Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ephila lanjengoba uphila, angiyikukutshiya.” Ngakho wasuka walandela owesifazane.
Olelo mai la ka makuwahine o ke keiki, Ma ke ola o Ieohova, a ma ke ola o kou uhane, aole au e haalele ia oe. Ku ae la ia a hele aku mamuli ona.
31 UGehazi wahle wagijima phambili wayabeka intonga ebusweni bomfana, kodwa akuzwakalanga lutho njalo kanyikinyekanga. Ngakho uGehazi wabuyela ukuyahlangabeza u-Elisha wamtshela wathi, “Umfana kavukanga.”
A hele aku la o Gehazi imua o lakou, a kau aku la i ke kookoo maluna o ka maka o ke keiki; aka, aohe leo, aole hoi he lohe: a hoi aku la oia e halawai me ia, a olelo aku la ia ia, i aku la, Aole i ala mai ke keiki.
32 Ekufikeni kwakhe endlini u-Elisha, wafumana lakanye nangu umfana usembhedeni wakhe ufile.
A hiki aku la o Elisai iloko o ka hale, aia hoi, ua make ke keiki, a ua waihoia maluna o kona wahi moe.
33 Wangena wavala umnyango baba bobabili lomfana wasekhuleka kuThixo.
Komo aku la ia maloko, a pani aku la i ka puka mahope o laua elua, a pule aku la ia Iehova.
34 Wakhwela embhedeni wacambalala phezu komfana, umlomo emlonyeni, amehlo emehlweni, izandla ezandleni. Uthe esazelula phezu komfana, umzimba womfana waqalisa ukukhudumala.
Pii ae la ia, a moe iho la maluna o ke keiki, o kona waha maluna o ko ia la waha, a o kona maka maluna o ko ia la maka, a me kona mau lima maluna o ko ia la mau lima, a kulou iho iho la ia maluna ona, a mahana mai la ka io o ke keiki.
35 U-Elisha wafulathela wahambahamba endlini waphinda wabuyela embhedeni wacambalala phezu komfana. Umfana wathimula kasikhombisa wasevula amehlo.
A huli ae la ia, a holoholo iloko o ka hale, i o ia nei; a pii ae la a kulou maluna ona: a kihe iho la ko keiki ehiku kihe ana, a kaakaa mai la na maka o ke keiki.
36 U-Elisha wabiza uGehazi wathi kuye, “Biza umShunami.” Wakwenza lokho. Uthe esefikile wasesithi kuye owesifazane, “Thatha indodana yakho.”
Kahea aku la oia ia Gehazi, i aku la, E hea aku i ka wahine no Sunema. Kahea aku la kela ia ia; a hiki mai la ia io na la, i aku la o Elisai, E kaikai ae oe i kau keiki.
37 UmShunami wangena, wawela ezinyaweni zakhe wakhothama. Wasethatha indodana yakhe wahamba.
A komo mai la ia maloko, a haule ma kona wawae, a kulou iho la ma ka honua, a kaikai ae la i kana keiki, a hele aku la iwaho.
38 U-Elisha wabuyela eGiligali njalo kulesosigaba kwakulendlala. Kwathi esesemhlanganweni lexuku labaphrofethi, wathuma isisebenzi sakhe wathi, “Beka imbiza enkulu eziko, uphekele abaphrofethi ukudla.”
A hoi hou aku la o Elisai i Gilegala; a he wi ma ka aina, a e noho ana na haumana a ka poe kaula imua ona; a i aku la ia i kana kauwa, E kau i ka ipuhao nui, a hoolapalapa i ka ai na na haumana a ka poe kaula.
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.
A hele aku la kekahi ma ke kula, a ohi i ka launahele, a loaa ia ia ke gepena, a hoiliili i na gepena a piha kona kihei; a okioki iho la maloko o ka ipuhao ai: no ka mea, aole lakou i ike i ke ano.
40 Kwaphakululwa ukuba abantu badle, kodwa bathi beqalisa ukudla bamemeza bathi, “Awu muntu kaNkulunkulu kulokufa embizeni!” Kabazabe besakudla.
A ninini iho la lakou na na kanaka e ai; a i ka lakou ai ana i ka ai, auwe iho la lakou, i aku la, E ke kanaka o ke Akua, he mea make iloko o ka ipuhao. Aole e hiki ia lakou ke ai.
41 U-Elisha wathi, “Lethani ifulawa.” Wayifaka embizeni wasesithi, “Baphakuleleni abantu badle.” Ngalokho kwakungaselabuthi embizeni.
I aku la ia, E lawe mai i palaoa; a hoolei iho la ia mea iloko o ka ipuhao, i aku la, E ninini aku na na kanaka, i ai ai lakou; aole he mea ino iloko o ka ipuhao.
42 Kwafika indoda ethile ivela eBhali-Shalisha, iphathele umuntu kaNkulunkulu izinkwa zebhali ezingamatshumi amabili, zibhekhwe ngezilimo zakuqala. U-Elisha wathi, “Nikani abantu badle.”
A hele mai la he kanaka mai Baalasalisa mai, a lawe mai i berena na ko kanaka o ke Akua no ka hunmua, he iwakalua popo bale, a me ka hua bale iloko o ka aa ona; i mai la ia, E haawi aku na na kanaka, i ai ai lakou.
43 Inceku yakhe yathi, “Ngingababela njani abantu abalikhulu okungaka?” Kodwa u-Elisha wathi, “Phakululela abantu badle. Ngoba ilizwi likaThixo lithi: ‘Bazakudla baze bakutshiye.’”
I aku la kana mea lawelawe, Ka! e waiho anei au i keia mea imua o ka haneri kanaka? I hou mai la ia, E haawi aku na na kanaka, e ai ai lakou; no ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia, E ai lakou, a koe no.
44 Inceku yasiphakululela abantu, badla baze bakutshiya, njengokutsho kwelizwi likaThixo.
A waiho iho la ia mea imua o lakou, a ai iho la lakou, a koe no, e like me ka olelo a Iehova.
