1 Wakati Bwana alipokuwa karibu kumchukua Eliya mbinguni kwa upepo wa kisulisuli, Eliya na Elisha walikuwa njiani wakitoka Gilgali.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he te u ʻe Sihova ke toʻo hake ʻa ʻIlaisiā ki loto langi ʻi he ʻahiohio, naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻIlaisiā mo ʻIlaisa mei Kilikali.
2 Eliya akamwambia Elisha, “Kaa hapa. Bwana amenituma Betheli.” Lakini Elisha akasema, “Kwa hakika, kama Bwana aishivyo na wewe uishivyo, sitakuacha.” Kwa hiyo wakaenda Betheli pamoja.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā kia ʻIlaisa, “ʻOku ou kole ke ke tatali koe ʻi heni; he kuo fekauʻi au ʻe Sihova ki Peteli.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku moʻui ho laumālie, pea ʻe ʻikai te u mahuʻi meiate koe.” Pea ko ia naʻa na ʻalu hifo ai ki Peteli.
3 Wana wa manabii waliokuwako huko Betheli wakamjia Elisha na kumuuliza, “Je, unajua ya kwamba Bwana atakuondolea bwana wako leo?” Elisha akawajibu, “Ndiyo, najua, lakini msizungumze juu ya jambo hilo.”
Pea naʻe hū mai kia ʻIlaisa ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita ʻaia naʻe ʻi Peteli, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻe ʻave ʻe Sihova ʻa hoʻo ʻeiki mei ho ʻulu he ʻaho ni?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻIo, ʻoku ou ʻilo; ka mou longo pe kimoutolu.”
4 Kisha Eliya akamwambia, “Baki hapa, Elisha. Bwana amenituma Yeriko.” Naye akajibu, “Kwa hakika kama Bwana aishivyo na wewe uishivyo, sitakuacha.” Hivyo wakaenda Yeriko.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā kiate ia, “ʻIlaisa, ʻOku ou kole ke ke tatali ʻi heni; he kuo fekauʻi au ʻe Sihova ki Seliko.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku moʻui ho laumālie, pea ʻe ʻikai te u mahuʻi meiate koe.” Ko ia naʻa na hoko ai ki Seliko.
5 Wana wa manabii waliokuwako huko Yeriko wakamwendea Elisha na kumuuliza, “Je, unajua ya kwamba Bwana atakuondolea bwana wako leo?” Akawajibu, “Ndiyo, najua, lakini msizungumze juu ya jambo hilo.”
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita ʻaia naʻe ʻi Seliko kia ʻIlaisa, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻe ʻave ʻe Sihova ʻa hoʻo ʻeiki mei ho ʻulu he ʻaho ni?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻIo, ʻoku ou ʻilo; ka mou longo pe kimoutolu.”
6 Kisha Eliya akamwambia, “Kaa hapa. Bwana amenituma kwenda Yordani.” Naye akamjibu, “Kwa hakika kama Bwana aishivyo na wewe uishivyo, sitakuacha.” Hivyo wote wawili wakaendelea pamoja.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā kiate ia, “ʻOku ou kole ke ke tatali koe ʻi heni; he kuo fekauʻi au ʻe Sihova ki Sioatani.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku moʻui ho laumālie, pea ʻe ʻikai te u mahuʻi meiate koe.” Pea naʻe ʻalu atu pe ʻakinaua ni.
7 Wana hamsini wa manabii wakaenda na kusimama kwa mbali, kuelekea mahali ambapo Eliya na Elisha walikuwa wamesimama kando ya Mto Yordani.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nimangofulu ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita, ʻonau tutuʻu ke sio mei he mamaʻo: pea naʻe tutuʻu ʻakinaua ʻo feʻunga atu mo Sioatani.
8 Eliya akachukua vazi lake, akalisokota na kupiga nalo maji. Maji yakagawanyika upande wa kuume na upande wa kushoto, nao wawili wakavuka pakavu.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe ʻIlaisiā ʻa hono pulupulu, mo ne takai fakataha ia, mo ne tā ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi vai, pea naʻe vaheua ia, pea ko ia naʻa na ʻalu atu ai ʻi he kelekele mōmoa.
9 Walipokwisha kuvuka, Eliya akamwambia Elisha, “Niambie, nikufanyie nini kabla sijaondolewa kutoka kwako?” Elisha akajibu, “Naomba nirithi sehemu maradufu ya roho yako.”
Pea hili ʻena ʻalu ki he kauvai ʻe taha naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā kia ʻIlaisa, “Ke ke tala mai pe ko e hā ha meʻa te u fai maʻau ʻi he teʻeki ʻave au meiate koe.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke ʻiate au ha vāhenga ʻe ua ʻo ho ʻulungāanga ʻoʻou.”
10 Eliya akasema, “Umeomba jambo gumu. Lakini kama utaniona wakati ninapoondolewa kutoka kwako litakuwa lako. La sivyo, hautalipata.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku faingataʻa ʻae meʻa kuo ke kole ki ai: Ka koeʻuhi, kapau te ke mamata ki he ʻave au meiate koe, ʻe hoko ʻo pehē kiate koe pea kapau ʻe ʻikai, pea ʻe ʻikai hoko ia.”
11 Walipokuwa wakitembea pamoja na kuzungumza, ghafula gari la moto na farasi wa moto vilitokea na kuwatenganisha wao wawili, naye Eliya akapanda mbinguni katika upepo wa kisulisuli.
Pea vakai, lolotonga ʻa ʻena kei ʻalu atu, mo talanoa, naʻe hā mai ha saliote afi, mo e fanga hoosi ʻoe afi, pea naʻe māvae ai ʻakinaua; pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa ʻIlaisiā ʻi he ʻahiohio ki he langi.
12 Elisha aliona hili, naye akapaza sauti, “Baba yangu! Baba yangu! Magari ya Israeli na wapanda farasi wake!” Naye Elisha hakumwona tena. Kisha akazishika nguo zake mwenyewe na kuzirarua.
Pea naʻe mamata ki ai ʻa ʻIlaisa, pea naʻa ne kalanga, “ʻA ʻeku tamai, ʻa ʻeku tamai, ko e saliote ʻo ʻIsileli, mo e kau heka hoosi ʻo ia.” Pea naʻe ʻikai toe mamata ia kiate ia: pea naʻa ne puke ʻa hono ngaahi kofu ʻoʻona, mo ne haeua ia.
13 Akaliokota lile vazi lililoanguka kutoka kwa Eliya, kisha akarudi na kusimama ukingoni mwa Yordani.
Naʻa ne toʻo hake foki ʻae pulupulu ʻo ʻIlaisiā ʻaia naʻe tō hifo meiate ia, pea ne foki ki mui, mo ne tuʻu ki he kauvai ʻo Sioatani:
14 Ndipo akalichukua lile vazi ambalo lilikuwa limeanguka kutoka kwa Eliya, naye akayapiga yale maji nalo. Akauliza, “Yuko wapi sasa Bwana, Mungu wa Eliya?” Elisha alipoyapiga maji, yakagawanyika kulia na kushoto, naye akavuka.
Pea naʻa ne toʻo ʻae pulupulu ʻo ʻIlaisiā ʻaia naʻe tō hifo meiate ia, ʻo ne tā ʻaki ʻae ngaahi vai, mo ne pehē, “Ko fē ia ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIlaisiā?” Pea ʻi heʻene tā foki ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi vai, naʻa nau vahe kehekehe, ka ka ʻalu atu ʻa ʻIlaisa [ki he kauvai ]ʻe taha.
15 Wale wana wa manabii kutoka Yeriko waliokuwa wakitazama wakasema, “Roho wa Eliya inamkalia Elisha.” Nao wakaenda kumlaki na kusujudu hadi nchi mbele yake.
Pea ʻi he sio kiate ia ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita ʻaia naʻe ʻalu atu mei Seliko ke mamata, naʻa nau pehē, “Kuo hoko ʻae laumālie ʻo ʻIlaisiā kia ʻIlaisa.” Pea naʻa nau omi ke fetaulaki mai kiate ia, mo nau fakatōmapeʻe hifo kinautolu ki he kelekele ʻi hono ʻao.
16 Wakasema, “Tazama, sisi watumishi wako tunao watu hamsini wenye uwezo. Waruhusu waende kumtafuta bwana wako. Labda Roho wa Bwana amemtwaa na kumweka katika mlima fulani au bonde fulani.” Elisha akajibu, “Hapana, msiwatume.”
Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “Ko eni, vakai, ʻoku ʻi hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae kau tangata mālohi ʻe toko nimangofulu; ʻoku mau kole, ke ke tuku ʻakinautolu ke ʻalu, ʻo kumi ki hoʻo ʻeiki: telia naʻa kuo toʻo hake ia ʻe he Laumālie ʻo Sihova, mo ne lī hifo ia ki ha tumuʻaki moʻunga, pe ki ha teleʻa.” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻE ʻikai te mou fekau [ha niʻihi].”
17 Lakini wakasisitiza, mpaka akaona aibu kuwakatalia. Hivyo akasema, “Watumeni.” Nao wakawatuma watu hamsini, wakamtafuta kwa siku tatu, lakini hawakumpata.
Pea ʻi heʻenau kole fakafiu kiate ia, naʻa ne pehē, “Fekau pe.” Ko ia naʻa nau fekau atu ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nimangofulu; pea naʻa nau kumi ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu, ka naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ia.
18 Walipomrudia Elisha, ambaye alikuwa akingojea huko Yeriko, akawaambia, “Je, sikuwaambia msiende?”
Pea ʻi heʻenau toe hoko mai kiate ia, (he naʻa ne tatali pe ʻi Seliko, ) naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻIkai naʻaku tala kiate kimoutolu, Ke ʻoua naʻa mou ʻalu?”
19 Watu wa mji wakamwambia Elisha, “Tazama, bwana wetu, mahali mji huu ulipojengwa ni pazuri, kama bwana wangu aonavyo, lakini maji yake ni mabaya, na nchi haizai.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau tangata ʻoe kolo kia ʻIlaisa, “Vakai koe, ʻoku matamatalelei ʻae tuʻuʻanga ʻoe kolo ni, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku sio ki ai ʻa hoku ʻeiki: ka ʻoku kovi ʻa hono vai, pea ʻoku kakā ʻae kelekele.”
20 Akasema, “Nileteeni bakuli mpya, mweke chumvi ndani yake.” Kwa hiyo wakamletea.
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻOmi kiate au ha ipu kelekele foʻou, pea ʻai ha māsima ki ai.” Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ia kiate ia.
21 Kisha akaenda kwenye chemchemi na kuitupa ile chumvi ndani yake, akisema, “Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: ‘Nimeyaponya maji haya. Kamwe hayatasababisha mauti tena wala kutozaa.’”
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia ki he punaʻanga ʻoe ngaahi vai, mo ne lī ki ai ʻae māsima, mo ne pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Kuo u fakamoʻui ʻae ngaahi vai ni; ʻe ʻikai toe hoko mei ai ha mate pe ha taʻefua.’”
22 Nayo yale maji yakaponywa mpaka leo, sawasawa na neno la Elisha alilokuwa amesema.
Pea pehē, naʻe fakamoʻui ʻae ngaahi vai ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni, ʻo fakatatau ki he lea naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe ʻIlaisiā.
23 Kutoka huko Elisha akakwea kwenda Betheli. Ikawa alipokuwa akitembea barabarani, baadhi ya vijana wakatoka mjini na kumfanyia mzaha. Wakasema, “Paa, wewe mwenye upaa! Paa, wewe mwenye upaa!”
Pea naʻa ne ʻalu hake mei he potu ko ia ki Peteli: pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu hake ʻi he hala, naʻe hū mai mei he kolo ʻae tamaiki iiki, ʻonau manuki kiate ia, mo nau pehē ki ai, “ʻAlu hake, ʻa koe ko e tula; ʻalu hake ʻa koe ko e tula ē.”
24 Akageuka, akawatazama na kuwalaani kwa Jina la Bwana. Kisha dubu wawili wa kike wakatokea mwituni na kuwararua vijana arobaini na wawili miongoni mwao.
Pea naʻa ne tangaki ki mui, mo ne sio kiate kinautolu, pea ne fakamalaʻiaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova. Pea naʻe haʻu mei he vao ʻae ongo pea fefine ʻe ua, ʻo na haehae ʻae fānau ʻe toko fāngofulu ma toko ua ʻiate kinautolu.
25 Naye akaondoka huko, akaenda Mlima Karmeli, na kutoka huko akarudi Samaria.
Pea naʻa ne ʻalu atu mei he potu ko ia ki he moʻunga ko Kameli, pea naʻa ne foki mai mei ai ki Samēlia.
