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.”
Pea ko eni, naʻe tangi kalanga ha fefine ko e tokotaha ʻi he ngaahi uaifi ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita, kia ʻIlaisa, ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo pekia ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko hoku husepāniti; pea ʻoku ke ʻilo naʻe manavahē ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki kia Sihova: pea kuo haʻu ʻae tangata ʻeke totongi ke ne ʻave mo ia ʻa ʻeku ongo tama ke na tamaioʻeiki kiate ia.”
2 U-Elisha wamphendula wathi, “Ngingakunceda kanjani na? Akungitshele, kulani endlini yakho?” Umfelokazi wathi, “Incekukazi yakho ayilalutho ngaphandle kwengcosana yamafutha.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa kiate ia, “Ko e hā ha meʻa te u fai maʻau? Fakahā mai pe ko e hā ha meʻa ʻoku ke maʻu ʻi fale?” Pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe ia, “ʻOku ʻikai maʻu ʻe hoʻo kaunanga ha meʻa ʻi fale, ka ko e hina pe taha ʻoe lolo.”
3 U-Elisha wasesithi, “Hamba uyekweboleka imbiza ezinengi kubomakhelwane bakho bonke. Ungaceli ezilutshwane nje.
Pea toki pehē ʻe ia, “Ke ke ʻalu, mo kole mai ha ngaahi ipu mei ho kāinga kotoa pē, ʻae ngaahi ngeʻesi ipu; pea ʻoua naʻa kole fakasiʻisiʻi pe.
4 Ubusungena endlini yakho lamadodana akho uvale umnyango. Ubusuthululela amafutha embizeni inye nganye, ithi ingagcwala uyibeke eceleni.”
Pea ʻoka ke ka toe hū mai, te ke tāpuni ʻae matapā kiate koe, pea mo hoʻo ongotama, pea te ke lilingi ki he ngaahi ipu kotoa pē ko ia, pea te ke tuku kehe ʻaia ʻoku fakafonu.”
5 Wasuka kuye kwathi ngemva kwesikhathi wavala umnyango lamadodana akhe. Amadodana amqhubela imbiza yena elokhu ezigcwalisa ngamafutha.
Ko ia naʻa ne ʻalu atu meiate ia, mo ne tāpuni ʻae matapā kiate ia mo ʻene ongotama, ʻaia naʻe fetuku mai [ʻae ngaahi ipu ]kiate ia; ka naʻe lilingi atu ʻe ia.
6 Kuthe imbiza zonke sezigcwele, wathi endodaneni yakhe, “Letha enye futhi.” Kodwa yaphendula yathi, “Akuselambiza eseleyo.” Amafutha kazabe esajuluka.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene pito ʻae ngaahi ipu, naʻa ne pehēange ki heʻene tama, “Toe ʻomi mo ha ipu ʻe taha.” Pea naʻe pehē atu ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻikai toe ha taha.” Pea naʻe tuku ʻae tafe ʻoe lolo.
7 Wasuka wayatshela umuntu kaNkulunkulu, owathi, “Hamba uyethengisa amafutha lawo ubhadale izikwelede zakho. Wena lamadodana akho lizaphila ngaseleyo.”
Pea naʻa ne toki haʻu ʻo fakahā ia ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻAlu, ʻo fakatau ʻae lolo, pea ʻatu ʻae totongi kiate ia ʻoku ʻeke, pea ko hono toe ke ke moʻui ai koe pea mo hoʻo fānau.”
8 Ngolunye usuku u-Elisha waya eShunemi. Kwakulowesifazane onothileyo, owamcela ukuba ahlale adle ukudla. Kwakusithi nxa ehambele khonale wayethola ukudla khonapho.
Pea ko e ʻaho ʻe taha naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa ʻIlaisa ki Sunemi, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ha fefine koloaʻia; pea naʻa ne taʻofi ia ke ne kai ha meʻa. Pea naʻe pehē, ʻilonga pe ʻa ʻene ʻalu atu ai naʻa ne foki atu ke kai mā ʻi ai.
9 Owesifazane wathi kumyeni wakhe, “Ngiyakwazi ukuthi lumuntu ohlala esedlula lapha ngumuntu ongcwele kaNkulunkulu.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fefine ki hono husepāniti, “Vakai mai, ʻoku ou ʻilo ko e tangata māʻoniʻoni eni ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku afe mai kiate kitaua maʻuaipē.
10 Kasimlungisele indlu ephezulu simfakele khona umbheda, itafula, isihlalo kanye lesibane. Kube yindlu azafikela kiyo nxa elapha kithi.”
Ke ta ngaohi ha kihiʻi potu fale, ʻi he funga ʻā maka; pea ke ta tuku maʻana ha mohenga ʻi ai, mo ha palepale, mo ha nofoʻa, mo ha tuʻunga maama: pea ʻe pehē, ʻoka haʻu ia kiate kitaua, te ne nofo ki ai.”
11 Kwelinye ilanga, u-Elisha wafika wayangena endlini yakhe leyo wacambalala khona.
Pea naʻe hoko ki he ʻaho ʻe taha, naʻa ne haʻu ki ai, pea naʻa ne afe atu ki he potu fale, mo tokoto ai.
12 Wathuma inceku yakhe uGehazi, wathi, “Ngibizela umShunami.” Ngakho inceku yambiza, wafika wema phansi kwakhe.
Pea naʻa ne pehē ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki ko Kehesi, “Ui mai ʻae fefine Sunemi ni.” Pea hili ʻa ʻene ui ki ai naʻa ne tuʻu mai ʻi hono ʻao.
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.”
Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “Ke ke fakahā ni kiate ia, Vakai, kuo ke tokanga kiate kimaua ʻi he tokanga lahi ni; ka ko e hā ha meʻa ʻe fai maʻau? Te ke loto ke fai ha lea maʻau ki he tuʻi, pe ki he ʻeiki pule ʻoe kautau?” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou nofo pe ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hoku kakai ʻoʻoku.”
14 U-Elisha wabuza wathi, “Kuyini esingamenzela khona na?” UGehazi wathi, “Kalandodana njalo umyeni wakhe useluphele.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ka kuo pehē, pea ko e hā ha meʻa ʻe fai maʻana?” Pea naʻe pehē atu ʻe Kehesi, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ʻikai haʻane tamasiʻi, pea kuo motuʻa ʻa hono husepāniti.”
15 Ngakho u-Elisha wathi, “Mbize.” Inceku yasimbiza, wafika wema emnyango. U-Elisha wathi,
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ui atu kiate ia.” Pea ʻosi ʻa ʻene ui ia, naʻa ne tuʻu ʻi he hūʻanga matapā.
16 “Ngasolesi isikhathi ngomnyaka ozayo uzaphatha indodana ezandleni zakho.” Owesifazane waphikisa wathi, “Atshi, nkosi yami, ungabokhohlisa incekukazi yakho, wena muntu kaNkulunkulu!”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻI he faʻahitaʻu ko eni, ʻo fakatatau mo hono kuonga, te ke fāʻufua ha tama.” Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOua, ʻa hoku ʻeiki, ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa ke loi ki hoʻo kaunanga.”
17 Owesifazane wathatha isisu, kwathi ngomnyaka owalandelayo ngesikhathi esifananayo wakhululeka wazuza indodana njengokutshelwa kwakhe ngu-Elisha.
Pea naʻe tuituʻia ʻae fefine, pea ne fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama ʻi he kuonga ko ia naʻe fakahā kiate ia ʻe ʻIlaisa, ʻo fakatatau mo e kuonga ʻoe feitama.
18 Umntwana wakhula, kwathi ngelinye ilanga walandela uyise, owayelabavuni.
Pea ʻi heʻene tupu ke lahi ʻae tamasiʻi, naʻe hoko ki he ʻaho ʻe taha, naʻe ʻalu ai ia ki heʻene tamai mo e kau tuʻusi ʻoe ututaʻu.
19 Wasesithi kuyise, “Maye ikhanda lami! Maye ikhanda lami!” Uyise wathuma isisebenzi wathi, “Thwala umntwana uye laye kunina.”
Pea naʻa ne pehē ki heʻene tamai, “ʻA hoku ʻulu, ʻa hoku ʻulu!” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki ha tama talavou, “Fua ia ʻo ʻave ki heʻene faʻē.”
20 Isisebenzi sesimthwalele kunina unina wamanga kwaze kwaba semini enkulu umntwana wasesifa.
Pea ʻi heʻene ʻave ia, mo ʻomi ki heʻene faʻē, naʻa ne nofo ki hono funga tui ʻo aʻu ki he hoʻatāmālie, pea pekia.
21 Unina wamthatha wayamlalisa embhedeni womuntu kaNkulunkulu, waphuma wasevala umnyango.
Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ia, ʻo ne fakatokoto ia ki he mohenga ʻoe tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, mo ne tāpuni ʻae matapā kiate ia, pea ʻalu ia kituʻa.
22 Owesifazane wathumela kumkakhe ilizwi elithi, “Ngicela ungithumele esinye sezisebenzi kanye lobabhemi ukuze ngiphange ngiyebona umuntu kaNkulunkulu ngiphenduke.”
Pea naʻa ne ui atu ki hono husepāniti, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou kole, ke ke fekau mai ha taha ʻoe kau talavou, mo ha ʻasi ʻe taha, koeʻuhi ke u lele ai ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, mo toe haʻu.”
23 Umyeni wakhe wathi, “Kungani umlanda lamuhla? Akusikho ekuThwaseni kweNyanga njalo akusilo iSabatha.” Owesifazane wathi, “Kulungile kunjalo.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā te ke ʻalu ai kiate ia he ʻaho ni? ʻOku ʻikai ko e māhina foʻou, pe ko e ʻaho tapu.” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “Fiemālie pe.”
24 Wethesa ubabhemi wasesithi kusisebenzi sakhe, “Khokhela; ungahambi kancane usenzela mina ngaphandle kokuba ngikutshele.”
Pea naʻa ne toki ʻai ʻae hekaʻanga ki he ʻasi, mo ne pehē ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, “Fai vave, mo ʻalu atu pe, ʻoua naʻa ke fakatuotuai ʻae ʻalu [ʻae manu, ]ka ʻi heʻeku fekau pe ʻaʻaku.”
25 Ngakho waphuma wahamba waze wayamthola umuntu kaNkulunkulu eNtabeni yaseKhameli. Ebona owesifazane esesebucwadlana, umuntu kaNkulunkulu wathi kuGehazi inceku yakhe, “Khangela! Nanguyana umShunami!
Ko ia naʻa ne ʻalu mo ne hoko atu ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he moʻunga ko Kameli. Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene mamata kei mamaʻo ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua kiate ia, naʻa ne pehē kia Kehesi ko ʻene tamaioʻeiki, “Vakai, ko ʻena ʻae fefine Sunemi:
26 Gijima umhlangabeze umbuze uthi, ‘Konke kulungile kuwe na? Umkakho uyaphila na? Umntanakho uyaphila na?’” Owesifazane wathi, “Konke kulungile.”
Lele leva, pea fakafetaulaki kiate ia, mo ke pehē ki ai, ʻOku ke lelei pe koe? ʻOku lelei pe ʻa ho husepāniti? ʻOku lelei pe mo hoʻo tamasiʻi? pea naʻe tali ʻe ia [ʻo pehē], ʻOku lelei pe.”
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.”
Pea ʻi heʻene hoko mai ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ki he moʻunga, naʻa ne puke ia ʻi hono vaʻe: ka naʻe fakaofi mai ʻa Kehesi ke ne teketekeʻi atu ia. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, “Tuku ai pe ia; he kuo mamahi ʻa hono loto ʻiate ia: pea kuo fakafufū ia meiate au ʻe Sihova ʻo ne taʻefakahā ia kiate au.”
28 Owesifazane wathi, “Ngake ngacela indodana kuwe na, nkosi yami? Angizange ngikutshele yini ukuthi ungaze wangikhohlisa na?”
Pea toki pehē ʻe he fefine, “He naʻaku holi ki ha tama mei hoku ʻeiki? ʻIkai naʻaku pehē, Ke ʻoua naʻa kākaaʻi au?”
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.”
Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe ia kia Kehesi, “ʻAi ho noʻotangavala, pea toʻo ʻa hoku tokotoko ʻi ho nima, pea ʻalu ʻi ho hala; kapau te mo fetaulaki mo ha tangata, ʻoua naʻa fetapa mo ia; pea kapau ʻe fetapa mai ha tokotaha kiate koe, ʻoua naʻa ke toe leaange ki ai: pea ke ʻai ʻa hoku tokotoko ki he mata ʻoe tamasiʻi.”
30 Kodwa unina womfana wathi, “Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ephila lanjengoba uphila, angiyikukutshiya.” Ngakho wasuka walandela owesifazane.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he faʻē ʻae tamasiʻi, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, pea ʻi he moʻui mo ho laumālie, ʻe ʻikai te u liʻaki koe.” Pea naʻa ne tuʻu hake ʻo muimui ʻiate ia.
31 UGehazi wahle wagijima phambili wayabeka intonga ebusweni bomfana, kodwa akuzwakalanga lutho njalo kanyikinyekanga. Ngakho uGehazi wabuyela ukuyahlangabeza u-Elisha wamtshela wathi, “Umfana kavukanga.”
Pea naʻe muʻomuʻa atu ʻa Kehesi ʻi hona ʻao, mo ne hilifaki ʻae tokotoko ki he mata ʻoe tamasiʻi; ka naʻe ʻikai ke lea, pe ongoʻi. Ko ia naʻa ne toe ʻalu ke fetaulaki kiate ia, mo ne fakahā ki ai, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ke fakaʻā ʻae tamasiʻi.”
32 Ekufikeni kwakhe endlini u-Elisha, wafumana lakanye nangu umfana usembhedeni wakhe ufile.
Pea ʻi heʻene hoko mai ʻa ʻIlaisa ki he fale, vakai, naʻe mate ʻae tamasiʻi, pea naʻe fakatokoto ʻi hono mohenga.
33 Wangena wavala umnyango baba bobabili lomfana wasekhuleka kuThixo.
Ko ia naʻa ne hū ai ki loto [fale], mo ne tāpuni ʻae matapā ke na toko ua pe, pea naʻa ne lotu kia Sihova.
34 Wakhwela embhedeni wacambalala phezu komfana, umlomo emlonyeni, amehlo emehlweni, izandla ezandleni. Uthe esazelula phezu komfana, umzimba womfana waqalisa ukukhudumala.
Pea naʻa ne ʻalu hake, mo ne tokoto hifo ki he tamasiʻi, ʻo ne ʻai ʻa hono ngutu ʻoʻona ki hono ngutu, mo hono mata ki hono mata, mo hono nima ki hono nima; pea naʻa ne fakatokoto ia ki he tamasiʻi; pea naʻe fakaʻaʻau ke mafana ʻae sino ʻoe tamasiʻi.
35 U-Elisha wafulathela wahambahamba endlini waphinda wabuyela embhedeni wacambalala phezu komfana. Umfana wathimula kasikhombisa wasevula amehlo.
Pea naʻa ne toe haʻu, mo ne ʻeveʻeva feʻaluʻaki pe ʻi he fale; pea ne ʻalu hake, mo ne fakatokoto ia kiate ia: pea naʻe mafatua ʻae tamasiʻi ʻo liunga fitu, pea naʻe fakaava ʻe he tamasiʻi ʻa hono mata.
36 U-Elisha wabiza uGehazi wathi kuye, “Biza umShunami.” Wakwenza lokho. Uthe esefikile wasesithi kuye owesifazane, “Thatha indodana yakho.”
Pea naʻa ne ui kia Kehesi, ʻo ne pehē, “Ui mai ʻa e [fefine ]Sunemi.” Pea naʻa ne ui ki ai. Pea ʻi heʻene hū mai kiate ia, naʻa ne pehē ʻe ia, “Toʻo hake ʻa hoʻo tama.”
37 UmShunami wangena, wawela ezinyaweni zakhe wakhothama. Wasethatha indodana yakhe wahamba.
Pea naʻa ne toki hū ange, mo tō hifo ki hono vaʻe, mo ne punou hifo ki he kelekele, mo ne toʻo hake ʻa ʻene tama, ʻo ʻalu atu kituʻa.
38 U-Elisha wabuyela eGiligali njalo kulesosigaba kwakulendlala. Kwathi esesemhlanganweni lexuku labaphrofethi, wathuma isisebenzi sakhe wathi, “Beka imbiza enkulu eziko, uphekele abaphrofethi ukudla.”
Pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻa ʻIlaisa ki Kilikali: pea naʻe ai ʻae honge ʻi he fonua; pea naʻe nofo ʻi hono ʻao ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita: pea naʻa ne pehē ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, Fokotuʻu ʻae kulo lahi, pea haka ha meʻakai maʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ha tokotaha ki he ngoue ke tānaki ʻae louʻakau, pea naʻa ne ʻilo ai ʻae vaine tupu vao, pea naʻa ne tānaki mei ai ʻae ngaahi fua ke pito ai hono kofu, pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻo hifi ia ki he kulo ʻoe haka lū: he naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo hono anga.
40 Kwaphakululwa ukuba abantu badle, kodwa bathi beqalisa ukudla bamemeza bathi, “Awu muntu kaNkulunkulu kulokufa embizeni!” Kabazabe besakudla.
Ko ia naʻa nau lilingi atu koeʻuhi ke kai ʻe he kau tangata. Pea ʻiloange, lolotonga ʻenau kai ʻae lū, naʻa nau ui atu, ʻo pehē, “ʻE tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoku ʻi he kulo ʻae mate.” Pea naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa kai mei ai.
41 U-Elisha wathi, “Lethani ifulawa.” Wayifaka embizeni wasesithi, “Baphakuleleni abantu badle.” Ngalokho kwakungaselabuthi embizeni.
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOmi ha mahoaʻa.” Pea naʻa ne ʻai ia ki he kulo; pea naʻa ne pehē, “Lilingi atu maʻae kakai, koeʻuhi ke nau kai.” Pea tā naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa kovi ʻi he kulo.
42 Kwafika indoda ethile ivela eBhali-Shalisha, iphathele umuntu kaNkulunkulu izinkwa zebhali ezingamatshumi amabili, zibhekhwe ngezilimo zakuqala. U-Elisha wathi, “Nikani abantu badle.”
Pea naʻe haʻu ha tangata mei Pealisalisa, ʻo ne ʻomi ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ʻae mā ʻoe ʻuluaki fua, ko e foʻi mā paʻale ʻe uofulu, mo e ngaahi fuhinga koane mo hono kafukafu. Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻAtu ia ki he kakai ke nau kai ia.”
43 Inceku yakhe yathi, “Ngingababela njani abantu abalikhulu okungaka?” Kodwa u-Elisha wathi, “Phakululela abantu badle. Ngoba ilizwi likaThixo lithi: ‘Bazakudla baze bakutshiye.’”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe heʻene tamaioʻeiki, “Ko e hā, te u ʻai atu eni koā ʻi he ʻao ʻo ha kau tangata ʻe toko teau?” Pea naʻe toe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻAtu ki he kakai, ke nau kai ai: he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Te nau kai ai pea ʻe toe pe.”
44 Inceku yasiphakululela abantu, badla baze bakutshiya, njengokutsho kwelizwi likaThixo.
Pea pehē, naʻa ne tuku ia ki honau ʻao, pea naʻa nau kai, pea naʻe toe pe, ʻo fakatatau ki he folofola ʻa Sihova.
