Nake mũndũ wa Ngai akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Rĩagũa ha?” Na rĩrĩa aamuonirie handũ hau, Elisha agĩtinia kamũtĩ, agĩgaikia ho, narĩo ithanwa rĩkĩrera maaĩ igũrũ.

8 Zvino mambo weAramu akanga achirwa neIsraeri. Mushure mokutaurirana navaranda vake, akati, “Ndichadzika musasa wangu panzvimbo yokuti neyokuti.”
Na rĩrĩ, mũthamaki wa Suriata aarĩ na mbaara na andũ a Isiraeli. Thuutha wa kũrĩkanĩra na anene ake, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ngwamba kambĩ handũ hana na hana.”
9 Munhu waMwari akatumira shoko kuna mambo weIsraeri achiti, “Chenjerai kuti murege kupfuura napanzvimbo iyo nokuti vaAramu vari kuburukirako.”
Mũndũ wa Ngai agĩtũmana kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wĩhũũge, na ndũkagerere handũ hana tondũ andũ a Suriata nĩho maraikũrũkĩra.”
10 Naizvozvo mambo weIsraeri akatumira vanhu kunzvimbo iyoyo yaakanga aratidzwa nomunhu waMwari, kuti vandoiongorora. Nguva nenguva Erisha aiyambira mambo, kuti achenjerere nzvimbo dzakadaro.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩtũma andũ magatuĩrie ũhoro wa handũ hau mũndũ wa Ngai aarĩtie ũhoro waho. Mahinda maingĩ Elisha nĩeragĩra mũthamaki wa Isiraeli kũndũ kũrĩa aagĩrĩirwo nĩ kwĩmenyerera, nake agaikaraga ehũũgĩte.
11 Izvi zvakatsamwisa mambo weAramu. Akadana vabati vake akati kwavari, “Hamungandiudzewo here kuti pakati pedu ari kurutivi rwamambo weIsraeri ndiani?”
Ũndũ ũcio ũkĩrakaria mũthamaki wa Suriata mũno. Nake agĩĩta anene ake na akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ngwenda kũmenya kuuma kũrĩ inyuĩ ũũ, nũũ witũ ũrĩ mwena wa mũthamaki wa Isiraeli?”

Nake ũmwe wa anene ake akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki mwathi wakwa, gũtirĩ o na ũmwe witũ ũrĩ mwena wake. No rĩrĩ, Elisha ũrĩa mũnabii kũu Isiraeli nĩwe wĩraga mũthamaki wa Isiraeli ciugo nginya iria waragia ũrĩ nyũmba yaku ya toro.”
13 Mambo akati, “Endai munotsvaka kuti ari kupi, kuitira kuti ndigotuma varume vanomubata.” Akaziviswa kuti, “Ari muDhotani.”
Nake mũthamaki agĩathana, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũgatuĩrie kũrĩa arĩ, nĩguo ndũme andũ mamũnyiite.” Nake mũthamaki agĩcookerio ũhoro akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “Elisha arĩ Dothani.”

Nake mũthamaki agĩtũma mbarathi na ngaari cia ita, na mbũtũ yarĩ na hinya kũu. Igĩthiĩ ũtukũ, ikĩrigiicĩria itũũra rĩu.
15 Muranda womunhu waMwari akati amuka mangwanani aitevera, akabuda panze akaona hondo namabhiza nengoro zvakomba guta. Muranda wake akati, “Haiwa, ishe wangu, tichaita seiko?”
Na rĩrĩa ndungata ya mũndũ wa Ngai yokĩrire, ĩkiuma nja rũciinĩ tene, ĩkĩona atĩ mbũtũ ya ita, na mbarathi, na ngaari cia ita nĩciarigiicĩirie itũũra. Nayo ndungata ĩkĩũria atĩrĩ, “Wũi, mwathi wakwa-ĩ, tũgwĩka atĩa?”

Nake mũnabii akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Tiga gwĩtigĩra, nĩgũkorwo arĩa marĩ mwena witũ nĩ aingĩ gũkĩra arĩa marĩ mwena wao.”
17 Ipapo Erisha akanyengetera akati, “Haiwa Jehovha, svinudzai meso ake kuti aone.” Ipapo Jehovha akasvinudza meso omuranda, iye ndokutarisa akaona zvikomo zvakazara namabhiza nengoro dzomoto zvakakomba Erisha.
Nake Elisha akĩhooya atĩrĩ, “Wee Jehova, mũhingũre maitho nĩguo oone.” Nake Jehova akĩhingũra maitho ma ndungata ĩyo, nayo ĩkĩrora, ĩkĩona kũu irĩma-inĩ kũiyũire mbarathi na ngaari cia ita irĩ na mwaki, ciothe irigiicĩirie Elisha.
18 Vavengi pavakaburuka kwaari, Erisha akanyengetera kuna Jehovha akati, “Pofumadzai vanhu ava.” Naizvozvo akavapofumadza sezvakanga zvakumbirwa naErisha.
Na rĩrĩa thũ ciake ciaikũrũkaga irorete kũrĩ we-rĩ, Elisha akĩhooya Jehova, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Hũũra andũ aya na ũtumumu.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩmahũũra na ũtumumu, o ta ũrĩa Elisha aahooete.
19 Erisha akati kwavari, “Iyi handiyo nzira uye iri harizi iro guta racho. Nditeverei, ndichakutungamirirai kumunhu wamuri kutsvaka.” Uye akavatungamirira kuSamaria.
Elisha akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ĩno tiyo njĩra, o na rĩĩrĩ tirĩo itũũra. Nũmĩrĩrai, na nĩngũmũtwara kũrĩ mũndũ ũrĩa mũracaria.” Nake akĩmatwara nginya Samaria.
20 Mushure mokupinda kwavo muguta, Erisha akati, “Jehovha, svinudzai meso avarume ava kuti vaone.” Ipapo Jehovha akasvinudza meso avo vakatarira, onei, vava muSamaria.

21 Mambo weIsraeri akati achivaona, akabvunza Erisha akati, “Ndivauraye here, baba vangu? Ndovauraya here?”
Rĩrĩa mũthamaki wa Isiraeli aamoonire-rĩ, akĩũria Elisha atĩrĩ, “Baba ndĩmoorage? Nĩ wega ndĩmoorage?”
22 Akamupindura akati, “Musavauraya. Hamungazouraya vanhu vamunenge makatapa nomunondo wenyu kana uta hwenyu here? Vaisirei zvokudya nemvura pamberi pavo kuti vadye uye vanwe vagodzokera kuna tenzi wavo.”
Nake Elisha akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndũkamoorage. No ũũrage andũ arĩa wĩnyiitĩire na rũhiũ rwaku rwa njora kana ũta? Mahe irio na maaĩ, marĩe na manyue, macooke mathiĩ kũrĩ mwathi wao.”
23 Naizvozvo akavagadzirira mabiko makuru, uye vakati vapedza kudya nokunwa akavaendesa, ivo vakadzokera kuna tenzi wavo. Naizvozvo mapoka avapambi vokuAramu akarega zvokupamba nyika yeIsraeri.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmathondekera iruga inene, nao maarĩkia kũrĩa na kũnyua, akĩmoigĩra ũhoro nao magĩcooka kũrĩ mwathi wao. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mbũtũ cia ita cia Suriata igĩtiga gũtharĩkĩra bũrũri wa Isiraeli rĩngĩ.
24 Shure kwenguva, Bheni-Hadhadhi mambo weAramu, akaunganidza hondo yake yose akaenda kundokomba Samaria.
Na rĩrĩ, thuutha ũcio Beni-Hadadi mũthamaki wa Suriata agĩcookanĩrĩria mbũtũ ciake cia ita ciothe, igĩthiĩ, ikĩrigiicĩria Samaria irĩtunyane.

26 Mambo weIsraeri akati achipfuura naparusvingo, mumwe mukadzi akadanidzira kwaari akati, “Ndibatsireiwo, ishe wangu mambo!”
Na rĩrĩa mũthamaki wa Isiraeli aahĩtũkagĩra rũthingo igũrũ-rĩ, mũtumia ũmwe akĩmũkaĩra, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki, mwathi wakwa, ndeithia!”
27 Mambo akamupindura akati, “Kana Jehovha asingakubatsiri ini ndingakuwanira rubatsiro kupi? Kubva paburiro here? Kubva pachisviniro chewaini here?”
Nake mũthamaki akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo Jehova ndangĩgũteithia-rĩ, niĩ ingĩkũrutĩra ũteithio kũ? Nĩ kuuma kĩhuhĩro-inĩ kĩa ngano, kana nĩ kuuma kĩhihĩro-inĩ kĩa ndibei?”
28 Ipapo akamubvunza akati, “Zvaita sei?” Iye akamupindura akati, “Mukadzi uyu akati kwandiri, ‘Tipe mwanakomana wako kuti timudye nhasi, mangwana tigozodya wangu.’
Ningĩ agĩcooka akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ kĩragũthĩĩnia?” Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mũtumia ũyũ aranjĩĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Ruta mũrũguo nĩgeetha tũmũrĩe ũmũthĩ, naruo rũciũ tũkaarĩa mũriũ wakwa.’
29 Naizvozvo takabika mwana wangu tikamudya. Fume mangwana, ini ndokuti kwaari, ‘Tipe mwanakomana wako kuti timudye,’ asi iye akanga andomuviga.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũraruga mũriũ wakwa na tũramũrĩa. Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ ndĩramwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Ruta mũrũguo nĩgeetha tũmũrĩe,’ no aramũhitha.”
30 Zvino mambo akanzwa mashoko omukadzi uyu, akabvarura nguo dzake. Akati achifamba naparusvingo, vanhu vakamutarisa, vakaona kuti akanga akapfeka masaga mukati menguo, pamuviri wake.
Na rĩrĩa mũthamaki aaiguire ciugo cia mũtumia ũcio-rĩ, agĩtembũranga nguo ciake. O agĩthiiagĩra rũthingo igũrũ-rĩ, andũ magĩcũthĩrĩria, makĩona atĩ eehumbĩte nguo ya ikũnia thĩinĩ.
31 Akati, “Mwari ngaandirove zvakanyanya kwazvo, kana musoro waErisha mwanakomana waShafati ukaramba uri pamapfudzi ake nhasi!”
Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngai aronjĩka ũũru, na akĩrĩrĩrie kũnjĩka ũũru, angĩkorwo mũtwe wa Elisha mũrũ wa Shafatu nĩũgũkorwo ũnyiitaine na mwĩrĩ wake ũmũthĩ!”
32 Zvino Erisha akanga akagara mumba make, uye vakuru vakanga vagere naye. Mambo akatuma nhume mberi, asi asati asvika, Erisha akati kuvakuru, “Hamuoni here iyi mhondi iri kutumira munhu kuzodimura musoro wangu? Tarirai, kana nhume yasvika, mupfige mukova muutsigire kuti asapinda. Ko, hausi mutsindo wetsoka dzatenzi wake mushure make here?”
Na rĩrĩ, Elisha aikarĩte gwake nyũmba arĩ hamwe na athuuri. Nake mũthamaki agĩtũma mũndũ athiiage mbere yake, no mũndũ ũcio ataanakinya, Elisha akĩĩra athuuri acio atĩrĩ, “Hĩ! Ĩĩ nĩmũrona ũrĩa mũũragani ũyũ andũmĩire mũndũ oke andinie mũtwe? Atĩrĩrĩ, mũndũ ũcio ooka-rĩ, mũhinge mũrango, na mũũnyiitĩrĩre ndakaingĩre. Githĩ mũkubio wa magũrũ ma mwathi wake ndũrĩ o thuutha wake?”
33 Akati achiri kutaurirana navo, nhumwa yakasvika kwaari. Mambo akati, “Dambudziko iri rinobva kuna Jehovha. Ndichagoramba ndakamirira Jehovha nemhaka yeiko?”
O akĩaria nao-rĩ, mũndũ ũcio watũmĩtwo agĩikũrũka, agĩkinya harĩ we. Nake mũthamaki akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwanangĩko ũyũ uumĩte kũrĩ Jehova. Nĩ kĩĩ kĩngĩtũma njeterere Jehova makĩria ma ũguo?”
