Hanki mago zupa Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa vahepinti mago kasnampa ne' fri'nea ne'mofo kento a'mo Elisana amanage huno eme asmi'ne, Muse hugantoanki nenave'ma ko'ma fri'neana kagra ko antahi'nane. Hagi ofri'ma mani'neno'a kamage nenteno, Ra Anumzamofona monora hunte'ne. Hianagi mago ne'mofontegati zagoa nofi hu'neankino, ana ne'mo'a eno eme tare ne'mofavre ni'ararena zanavreno vanigeke kazokazo eri'za omerintegaha'e.

2 UElisha wasesithi kuye: Ngingakwenzelani? Ngitshela, ulani endlini? Wasesithi: Incekukazi yakho kayilalutho endlini, ngaphandle kwesiphiso samafutha.

Anage higeno ana ara Elisa'a amanage huno asmi'ne, Inankna hu'na nagra kaza hugahue? Nonka'afina na'a ante'nane, higeno ana a'mo'a ke nona'a huno, Muse hugantoanki mago'a zana onte'noe. Hianagi osi'a olivi masave antogeno taferopina me'ne.

3 Wasesithi: Hamba uyezebolekela izitsha ezivela phandle, kubomakhelwane bakho bonke, izitsha ezingelalutho, zingabi nlutshwana.

Higeno Elisa'a ana ara asmino, Vunka tvaonka'arema nemaniza vahera zamantahigenka kavoramina osi'a e'orinka rama'a erio.

Hanki anama hute'nunka, kagrane tare mofavre ka'anena nompi ufreta kafana erigita nemanita, ana maka kavofi masavena taginte vagareho. Anama nehanankenoma mago kavomo'ma aviteterema haniana, rure erintetere huo.

5 Wasesuka-ke kuye wazivalela yena lamadodana akhe umnyango; bazisondeza kuye, wathulula.

Ana kema Elisa'ma hiana ana a'mo'a antahiteno, vuno vahe kavoramina zamantahigeno eritru huteno, tare ne'ararene noma'afi ufreno kahana erigiteno, tare ne'ararena ke higeke kavoa eri amitere hakeno masavena tagintetere huno evu'ne.

6 Kwasekusithi izitsha sezigcwele wathi endodaneni yakhe: Ngilethela njalo isitsha. Yasisithi kuye: Kakuselasitsha. Amafutha asesima.

Hanki ana a'mo'ma ana maka kavoramimpima masavema tagintegeno avite vagaretegeno, mago mofavre'agu huno, Mago'a kavoma me'nesiana eri namio, huno higeno mofavre'amo'a kenona'a huno, Magore huno kavoa omne'neanki hago vagare. Higeno masavemo'ma ne-eretira anante vagare'ne.

7 Wasesiza wamazisa umuntu kaNkulunkulu; wasesithi: Hamba uyethengisa amafutha, uhlawule isikwelede sakho; wena-ke lamadodana akho liphile ngaseleyo.

Anante ana a'mo'a Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa ne' Elisana anazama fore'ma hiazana ome asamigeno, Elisa'a ana ara asmino, Vunka ana masaveramina ome zagore atrenka zagoma erisunka, negave'ma nofi'ma hu'neana zagoa apanesenka, mago'a mesia zagoa kagrane mofavre ka'ararene ne'zana mizaseta neneta maniho huno hu'ne.

8 Kwasekusithi ngolunye usuku uElisha wedlulela eShunemi lapho okwakulowesifazana oyisikhulu owamcindezela ukuthi adle isinkwa. Kwakusithi-ke lanini esedlula, aphambukele khona ukuthi adle isinkwa.

Hanki mago zupa Elisa'a Sunemi rankumate vigeno, ana kumapina mago feno ara mani'neankino, ana a'mo'a kehigeno noma'afinti ne'zana ome ne'ne. Ana hu'neankino Elisa'ma Sunemi kumate'ma mago'a zupama eterema nehuno'a, ana a'mofo nompintike ne'zana eme ne'ne.

9 Wasesithi kumkakhe: Khangela-ke, ngiyazi ukuthi lo ungumuntu ongcwele kaNkulunkulu, owedlula kithi njalonjalo.

Hanki mago'a kna evutegeno, ana a'mo'a nevena amanage huno asmi'ne, Ama ne'ma eno'ma tagranema ne'zama eme neterema nehia nera, nagrama antahi'noana Ra Anumzamofo ruotge kasnampa ne' mani'ne.

10 Ake senze ikamelo elincinyane eliphezulu emdulini, simfakele lapho umbheda letafula lesihlalo lesiqobane sesibane; kuzakuthi-ke lapho efika kithi aphambukele khona.

E'ina hu'negu tagra nonti'amofo agofetu Elisa'ma masesia nona mago hunaraginteteta, anampinka mase sipane, ne'zama anteno nesia tra'ene, manisia tra'ene tro hunteteta, lamu tavi'ene anampinka antente'nesukeno, tagri'ma tageku'ma eterema hania zupa, anama hunaragintepinka umrerino umasegahie.

11 Kwasekusithi ngolunye usuku wafika khona, waphambukela ekamelweni eliphezulu, walala khona.

Hanki mago zupa Elisa'a Sunemi kumate eno, anama hunaragintepinka evumarerino umaseno mani'ne.

12 Wasesithi kuGehazi inceku yakhe: Biza lo umShunamikazi. Esembizile, wema phambi kwakhe.

Ana huteno Elisa'a kato ne'a Gehasina amanage huno hunte'ne, Ama noma retro'ma hunte'nea ara ome kehugeno eno, higeno Gehasi'a vuno ana ara ome kehigeno e'ne.

13 Wasesithi kuyo: Tshono kuye-ke uthi: Khangela, usinakekele ngakho konke lokhukunaka; kuyini ongakwenzelwa? Kukhona ongakukhulunyelwa enkosini kumbe enduneni yebutho yini? Wasesithi: Ngihlala phakathi kwabantu bakithi.

Anama higeno'a Elisa'a amanage huno Gehasina asmi'ne, Vunka ana ara na'a kagrira mago so'ezana hugantegahu'e hunka ome antahigo. Hagi kagrama hu izo hanankeno'a, amne Elisa'a vuno kini netero, sondia vahete ugota hu'nea nera ome zamageno kavesisia zanku'ma hnanana, ome zamasaminege'za amne trohugahaze hunka asmio. Higeno Gehasi'a ana ara anankea ome asmigeno, ana amo'a kenona huno, Nagra vahe'ni'ane knare hu'na mani'noanki'na mago'zankura atupara osu'noe.

14 Wasesithi: Kuyini-ke angakwenzelwa? UGehazi wasesithi: Qiniso, kalamntwana, lomkakhe usemdala.

Higeno ana ke'ma Gehasi'ma eno Elisama eme asmigeno'a Elisa'a huno, Knare avu'avazama ana a'mo'ma hurante'nerera na'a huntegahu'e? Higeno Gehasi'a amanage hu'ne, Ne' mofavrea onte'negeno neve'a ko ranafa re'ne.

15 Wasesithi: Mbize. Esembizile, wema emnyango.

Anage higeno Elisa'a ana ara ome kehugeno eno higeno, Gehasi'a ome kehigeno eno kahante eme oti'ne.

16 Wasesithi: Ngalesisikhathi esimisiweyo njengokwesikhathi sempilo uzagona umntwana. Kodwa wathi: Hatshi, nkosi yami, muntu kaNkulunkulu, ungayiqambeli amanga incekukazi yakho.

Ana hutegeno Elisa'a ana ara amanage huno asmi'ne, Anaga'a kafufina meni amana knare, ne' mofavreka'a kazampi avaregahane. Higeno ana a'mo'a ke nona huno, kvanimoka Ra Anumzamofo eri'za vahe mani'nanki havigea osuo.

17 Owesifazana wasekhulelwa, wabeletha umntwana ngalesosikhathi esimisiweyo njengokwesikhathi sempilo uElisha ayesitshilo kuye.

Hianagi ana a'mo'a henka mofavre amu'ene huno, Elisa'ma hu'nea kante anteno anaga'a kafufina, ana kna fatgore ne' mofavre kasente'ne.

18 Esekhulile umntwana, kwathi ngosuku oluthile waphuma waya kuyise kubavuni.

Hanki henka ana mofavremo'a ra huteno mago zupa, nefa'a hozafi eri'za vahe'anema witi nevasgazafi vu'ne.

19 Wasesithi kuyise: Ikhanda lami! Ikhanda lami! Wasesithi encekwini: Mthwale umuse kunina.

Hanki anampi mani'neno nefana asmino, Nase'nimo'a tusi natagrie, natagrie, huno higeno, nefa'a mago eri'za vahe hunteno, avrenka nerera'ma mani'nerega vuo.

20 Isimthwele yamusa kunina, wahlala emadolweni akhe kwaze kwaba semini, wasesifa.

Higeno eri'za ne'mo'a ana mofavrea avresga huno nerera ome ami'geno, nerera asumpi maseno mani'negeno vuno ferusegeno fri'ne.

21 Wasesenyuka, wamlalisa embhedeni womuntu kaNkulunkulu, wamvalela, waphuma.

Ana higeno ana a'mo'a anama fria mofavre'a erino marerino, Anumzamofo eri'za vahe Elisa'ma nemasea sipare ome antemaseteno, kafa erinegino atreno atirami'ne.

22 Wasememeza umkakhe wathi: Ake uthume kimi enye yezinceku lomunye wabobabhemi, ukuze ngigijime ngiye emuntwini kaNkulunkulu, ngibuye futhi.

Anante ana a'mo'a nevena kezatimino anage hu'ne, Muse hugantoanki mago eri'za ne'ene mago donki afura namige'na Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa ne' ame hu'na ome kete'na a'neno.

23 Wasesithi. Uyelani kuye lamuhla? Kakusikuthwasa kwenyanga njalo kakusisabatha. Owesifazana wasesithi: Kulungile.

Anage higeno ana a'mofo neve'a huno, Menina kasefa ikana omnege, mani fruhu kna Sabatia omne'neanki, na'a higenka menina vu'za nehane? Hianagi ana a'mo'a huno, E'ina hu'neanagi knare hu'neanki'na amne vugahue.

24 Esembophelele isihlalo ubabhemi, wathi encekwini yakhe: Tshaya uhambe, ungangibambeleli ekuhambeni, ngaphandle ngikutshele.

Anante ana a'mo'a donki afura azerinte fatgo nehuno, eri'za ne'agura huno, avazu hunka ame'ma hunka vuo. Hanki donkimo'ma akoheno vinogura nagrake'za kasamigahue.

25 Wahamba-ke, weza emuntwini kaNkulunkulu entabeni iKharmeli. Kwasekusithi umuntu kaNkulunkulu embona esiza, wathi kuGehazi inceku yakhe: Khangela, nanguyana umShunamikazi.

Hanki anage hutegeke, ana a'ene eri'za ne'anena, Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa ne' Elisa ome keku Karmeli agonare vu'na'e. Hanki zanagra afete nevakeno Elisa'a nezanageno kato ne'a Gehasina asamino, antu Sunemiti a' ne-eanki ko.

26 Khathesi akugijime umhlangabeze, uthi kuye: Kulungile yini kuwe? Kulungile yini ngomkakho? Kulungile yini ngomntwana? Wasesithi: Kulungile.

Hanki kagra kagarenka vunka ana a'ra ome negenka, kagrane, negave'ene, mofavreka'anena knare huta mani'nazo? hunka antahigo. Higeno Gehasi'a anankema ome asmigeno'a, ana a'mo'a kenona'a huno, mago kea omne'neanki knare huta mani'none.

27 Esefikile entabeni kumuntu kaNkulunkulu wabamba inyawo zakhe. Kodwa uGehazi wasondela ukumsunduza asuke. Kodwa umuntu kaNkulunkulu wathi: Myekele, ngoba umphefumulo wakhe umunyu kuye, leNkosi ingifihlele lokhu, kayingitshelanga.

Hanki ana a'mo'ma Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne'ma agonafima mani'nere uhanatino, Elisana agiafi rena nereno, agiare azeri antroko hu'ne, anama hiaza Gehasi'ma negeno'a, ana ara retufe ogantu atreku hu'neanagi, Elisa'a Gehasina asmino, Agra tusi'a knazampi mani'negahianki atrenenka ko. Hagi agrama knafima mani'neazana Ra Anumzamo'a knafi mani'ne huno onasami'ne.

28 Wasesithi: Ngangicelile indodana enkosini yami yini? Kangitshongo yini ukuthi: Ungangikhohlisi?

Anante ana a'mo'a anage hu'ne, Kva vahe'ni'a Ra Anumzamofo eri'za vahe'moka, nagra ne'mofavregura kantahi onkenoanki, kagrama hana kante anteno Anumzamo mofavrea nami'ne. Hianagi nagrama hu'noana renavataga osuo hu'na hu'noe.

29 UElisha wasesithi kuGehazi: Bopha ukhalo lwakho, uthathe udondolo lwami esandleni sakho, uhambe. Uba uhlangana lomuntu ungambingeleli, njalo uba umuntu ekubingelela ungamphenduli; ubeke udondolo lwami ebusweni bomntwana.

Ana ke'ma Elisa'ma nentahino'a, Gehasina anage huno asmi'ne, Zaza kenaka'a kamu nofipi eri pasihunka ahenevazinka kazampina azompani'a enerinka kagarenka Sunemi rankumate vuo. Hanki kantegama vahe'ma nezmagesunka keaga huozaminka, keagama hunegami sagenkanena kenona osunka, vuvava hunka ana a'mofo nompi umarerinka ana mofavremofo avugosafi azompania omento.

30 Unina womntwana wasesithi: Kuphila kukaJehova lokuphila komphefumulo wakho, kangiyikukutshiya. Wasesukuma wamlandela.

Hianagi ana mofavremofo nerera'a amanage hu'ne, Kasefa huno mani'nea Ra Anumzamofo avufine kagri kavufine tamage hu'na nehuankina, nagra katre'na ovugahue, higeno Elisa'a otino ana a'ene Sunemi ete vu'ne.

31 UGehazi wedlulela phambi kwabo, walubeka udondolo ebusweni bomntwana, kodwa kakubanga khona ilizwi njalo kwakungelakunaka. Wasebuyela ukumhlangabeza, wamtshela esithi: Umntwana kavukanga.

Hanki Gehasia vugota huno Elisa azompa ana mofavremofo avugosafi ome ante'ne. Hianagi tamage huno mago'zana forera osu'ne. Ana higeno Gehasia ete vuno Elisa'ma kantegama ne-egeno ome asmino, Kema nasmi'nazana ome huanagi ana mofavremo'a oraoti'ne.

32 UElisha esengenile endlini, khangela, umntwana wayefile, elaliswe embhedeni wakhe.

Higeno Elisa'a nonte uhanatiteno umarerino keana, agrama nemasea sipare, anama fri'nea risera mase'negeno ke'ne.

33 Wasengena, wavala umnyango emva kwabo bobabili, wakhuleka eNkosini.

Hagi hunaragintepinka umarerino kahana erigiteno, Ra Anumzamofontega nunamuna hu'ne.

34 Wenyuka walala phezu komntwana, wabeka umlomo wakhe phezu komlomo wakhe lamehlo akhe phezu kwamehlo akhe lezandla zakhe phezu kwezandla zakhe, wacambalala phezu kwakhe; inyama yomntwana yasikhudumala.

Anante ana rise'ma mase'nea sipare marerino ana rise'mofo agofetu unemaseno, agira agite nenteno, avurga avure nenteno, azana azante ante'ne. Ana higeno ana rise'mofo avufgamo'a osi'a amuho hukna hu'ne.

35 Wasebuyela, wahambahamba endlini waya kanye ngapha lakanye le, wasesenyuka wacambalala phezu kwakhe; umntwana wasethimula kwaze kwaba kasikhombisa, umntwana wasevula amehlo akhe.

Amuho higeno otino osi'a ana nompi vano huteno ete mago'ene ana huno avufgare mase'ne. Mase'negeno seveni'a zupa kasera ruteno avurga ruhari hu'ne.

36 Wasebiza uGehazi wathi: Mbize lo umShunamikazi. Wasembiza. Esefikile kuye, wathi kuye: Thatha umntanakho.

Ana'ma nehiana Elisa'a Gehasina kehigeno egeno anage huno asmi'ne, vunka nererana ome kehugeno eno, higeno kema hiaza huno Gehasi'a ana ara ome kehigeno emarerigeno, Elisa'a huno, ne'mofavreka'a ete avro.

37 Wasengena, wawela ezinyaweni zakhe, wakhothamela emhlabathini, waphakamisa umntanakhe, waphuma.

Higeno ana a'mo'a anampinka emarerino Elisana agafi avugosaregati emeseno kepri huno humuse hunenteno, ana mofavre'a avreno megi'a atiramino vu'ne.

38 UElisha wasebuyela eGiligali, njalo kwakukhona indlala elizweni, amadodana abaprofethi ayehlezi-ke phambi kwakhe, wathi encekwini yakhe: Beka imbiza enkulu eziko, uphekele abaprofethi ukudla okuphekiweyo.

Mago'a kna evutegeno Elisa'a eteno Gilgali vu'neana ana mopafina ne'zana fanane higeno tusi'a zamaga tonto hu'ne. Hanki anampima mago'a nemaniza kasnampa vahe'mo'za agrane mago zupa eme eritru hu'za mani'naze. Ana hazageno Elisa'a kato ne'a amanage huno asmi'ne, Rankavo erinka ana kasnampa vahera ne'zana krezamanto.

39 Omunye wasephuma waya egangeni ukukha imibhida, wathola intandela yeganga, wakha amajodwana ayo eganga, isembatho sakhe sagcwala, weza wawaqobelela embizeni yokudla okuphekiweyo, ngoba ayengawazi.

Higeno kasnampa vahepinti mago'mo vuno kamo'za ome huno eme kreku nevuno ome keana, afi hagonefa rente'negeno ome keteno, e'i afi hagonefa me'ne huno ontahineno, mago'a tagiazamo zaza kena'afi erinteno e'ne. Eteno anante eme akrakru hiazamo ana kamo'ene kavofina kre'ne.

40 Basebethululela abantu ukuze badle; kwasekusithi besadla okokudla okuphekiweyo bona bamemeza bathi: Ukufa embizeni, muntu kaNkulunkulu! Njalo babengelakukudla.

Hanki ana ne'zama tafepi atintete'za, ana kasnampa vahe'mo'za agafa hu'za nene'za krafa hu'za, Ra Anumzamofo vahe Elisaga ama ne'zamo'a tusi akaheankino vahe tahe frigahie nehu'za one'za atre'naze.

41 Wasesithi: Lethani-ke impuphu. Waseyithela embizeni wathi: Thululela abantu, ukuze badle. Kwakungaselalutho oluyingozi embizeni.

Hanki anama hazageno Elisa'a zamasamino, witireti trohu flaua erita eho, hige'za eri'za azageno ana kamo'ma kre'naza kavofi ana flauara netreno kato ne'agu huno, refko hunka tafepi zamige'za neho. Higeno kema hiaza huno eri'za ne'amo'a maka kasnampa vahera atino zamige'za ne'nazanagi, ana ne'zamo'a zamazeri havizana osu'ne.

42 Kwasekufika umuntu evela eBhali-Shalisha, walethela umuntu kaNkulunkulu ukudla kwezithelo zokuqala, izinkwa zebhali ezingamatshumi amabili, lezikhwebu zamabele amatsha emgodleni wakhe. Wasesithi: Banike abantu ukuze badle.

Mago zupa Ba'al-Salisa rankumateti e'nea ne'mo'a, ese hamre'naza bali ragareti tro hu'naza bretiramina 20'a enerino, mago'a kasefa bali raganena ku'afi erarineno Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Elisante egeno, Elisa'a kato ne'a asmino, Ama ne'zana ama vahera zamige'za neho.

43 Kodwa inceku yakhe yathi: Ini, ngibeke lokhu phambi kwabantu abalikhulu? Wasesithi: Banike abantu ukuze badle, ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi: Bazakudla, batshiye.

Anage higeno kato ne'amo'a Elisana antahigeno, Inankna hu'na ama 100'a vahera, asama ne'zana zamisuge'za negahaze. Higeno Elisa'a ana kemofo nona huno, Zaminke'za neho. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a huno, nenesageno mago'a amne megahie hianki zaminke'za neho.

44 Yasikubeka phambi kwabo, badla, batshiya, njengokwelizwi leNkosi.

Anante Elisana kato ne'amo'a ana ne'zana zamige'za nenageno, Ra Anumzamo'ma hu'nea kante anteno mago'a amne me'ne.
