1 Ɛda bi adiyifoɔ kuo baa Elisa nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Sɛdeɛ wo ara wohunu no, baabi a yɛne wo hyia ha yi sua.
Na rĩrĩ, thiritũ ya anabii ĩkĩĩra Elisha atĩrĩ, “Rora, handũ haha tũgomanaga nawe nĩ hanini mũno.
2 Ma yɛnkɔ Asubɔnten Yordan ho a nnua bebree wɔ hɔ. Ɛhɔ deɛ, yɛbɛtumi asi ɛdan foforɔ, ahyia mu wɔ hɔ.” Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, monkɔyɛ.”
Twĩtĩkĩrie tũthiĩ Jorodani, o mũndũ witũ akuue ĩtugĩ kuo; na ũtwĩtĩkĩrie twake handũ ha gũtũũraga kũu.” Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi.”
3 Obi kaa nʼadwene sɛ, “Mesrɛ wo, bɛka yɛn ho na yɛnkɔ.” Ɔkaa sɛ, “Mate yɛbɛkɔ.”
Ningĩ ũmwe wao akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndagũthaitha wĩtĩkĩre gũthiĩ na ndungata ciaku.” Nake Elisha agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, nĩtũgũthiĩ na inyuĩ.”
4 Ɛberɛ a wɔduruu Yordan ho no, wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ buu nnua.
Nake Elisha agĩthiĩ hamwe nao. Nao magĩthiĩ Jorodani na makĩambĩrĩria gũtema mĩtĩ.
5 Nanso, wɔn mu baako rebu dua no, nʼabonnua hɔn tɔɔ nsuo no mu. Ɔteaam sɛ, “Aa! Me wura, ɛyɛ abonnua a mekɔsrɛeɛ!”
Na rĩrĩa ũmwe wao aatemaga mũtĩ-rĩ, ithanwa rĩkĩgũa maaĩ-inĩ. Nake agĩkaya, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwathi wakwa, riuma rĩa kũhooya!”
6 Onyankopɔn onipa no bisaa sɛ, “Ɛhefa na ɛtɔeɛ?” Ɔkyerɛɛ Elisa baabi ko no, Elisa twaa poma, na ɔto twenee nsuo no mu. Ɛhɔ ara abonnua tire no pagyaa ne ho, bɛtɛɛ nsuo no ani.
Nake mũndũ wa Ngai akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Rĩagũa ha?” Na rĩrĩa aamuonirie handũ hau, Elisha agĩtinia kamũtĩ, agĩgaikia ho, narĩo ithanwa rĩkĩrera maaĩ igũrũ.
7 Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ma so yi.” Na ɔbarima no tenee ne nsa yiiɛ.
Nake akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Oya ithanwa.” Nake mũndũ ũcio agĩtambũrũkia guoko, akĩrĩoya.
8 Ɛberɛ a Aramhene ne Israel redi ako no, ɔne ne mpanimfoɔ tuu agyina, kaa sɛ, “Yɛbɛboaboa yɛn akodɔm ano wɔ ha anaa ɛha.”
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 Ntɛm pa ara, Onyankopɔn onipa Elisa bɔɔ Israelhene kɔkɔ sɛ, “Ntwe mmɛn beaeɛ hɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, Aramfoɔ no reyɛ nhyehyɛeɛ, aboaboa wɔn akodɔm ano wɔ hɔ.”
Mũndũ wa Ngai agĩtũmana kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wĩhũũge, na ndũkagerere handũ hana tondũ andũ a Suriata nĩho maraikũrũkĩra.”
10 Enti Israelhene hwɛɛ beaeɛ a Onyame onipa kyerɛɛ no no. Elisa kɔɔ so bɔɔ ɔhene no kɔkɔ mpɛn pii, na ɛmaa nʼani daa fam wɔ mmeaeɛ a ɛtete saa no ho.
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 Aramhene werɛ hoo wɔ asɛm yi ho. Ɔfrɛɛ ne mpanimfoɔ bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Mo mu hwan na ɔyɛ ɔfatwafoɔ no? Hwan na ɔka me nhyehyɛeɛ a mayɛ kyerɛ Israelhene?”
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?”
12 Mpanimfoɔ no mu baako buaa sɛ, “Me wura, ɛnyɛ yɛn. Elisa a ɔyɛ odiyifoɔ wɔ Israel no na ɔka wo kɔkoamsɛm kyerɛ Israelhene.”
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 Ɔhene no hyɛɛ sɛ, “Monkɔhwehwɛ baabi a Elisa wɔ, na yɛbɛsoma akodɔm ama wɔakɔkye no.” Na nkra baeɛ sɛ, “Elisa wɔ Dotan.”
Nake mũthamaki agĩathana, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũgatuĩrie kũrĩa arĩ, nĩguo ndũme andũ mamũnyiite.” Nake mũthamaki agĩcookerio ũhoro akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “Elisha arĩ Dothani.”
14 Enti, anadwo bi, Aramhene somaa akodɔm bebree ne wɔn nteaseɛnam ne wɔn apɔnkɔ kɔtwaa kanko faa kuropɔn no ho.
Nake mũthamaki agĩtũma mbarathi na ngaari cia ita, na mbũtũ yarĩ na hinya kũu. Igĩthiĩ ũtukũ, ikĩrigiicĩria itũũra rĩu.
15 Ɛberɛ a Onyankopɔn onipa no ɔsomfoɔ sɔree ahemadakye, sii afikyire no, na akodɔm, apɔnkɔ ne nteaseɛnam atwa hɔ ahyia. Ɔteaam kyerɛɛ Elisa sɛ, “Aa, me wura, ɛdeɛn na yɛnyɛ?”
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?”
16 Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Nsuro na yɛwɔ ɛdɔm sene wɔn.”
Nake mũnabii akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Tiga gwĩtigĩra, nĩgũkorwo arĩa marĩ mwena witũ nĩ aingĩ gũkĩra arĩa marĩ mwena wao.”
17 Afei, Elisa bɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ, “Ao, Awurade, bue nʼani na ma ɔnhunu adeɛ,” Awurade buee ne ɔsomfoɔ ani, na ɔpagyaa nʼani no, ɔhunuu sɛ Elisa nkyɛn mu a ɛkyerɛ bepɔ no, ogya apɔnkɔ ne nteaseɛnam na ayɛ hɔ ma.
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 Ɛberɛ a Aramfoɔ asraadɔm bɔ puaa wɔn no, Elisa bɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ, “Ao, Awurade, mesrɛ wo, ma wɔn ani mfirafira.” Na Awurade yɛɛ deɛ Elisa bisaeɛ no.
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 Na Elisa firii adi, kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Moafa ɛkwan bɔne so aba. Ɛnyɛ kuro a morehwehwɛ no ni. Monni mʼakyi, na mede mo bɛkɔ onipa a morehwehwɛ no no nkyɛn.” Na ɔdii wɔn anim kɔduruu Samaria.
Elisha akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ĩno tiyo njĩra, o na rĩĩrĩ tirĩo itũũra. Nũmĩrĩrai, na nĩngũmũtwara kũrĩ mũndũ ũrĩa mũracaria.” Nake akĩmatwara nginya Samaria.
20 Na wɔduruu Samaria pɛ, Elisa bɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ, “Ao, Awurade, afei bue wɔn ani, na ma wɔnhunu adeɛ.” Na Awurade yɛeɛ, na wɔhunuu sɛ wɔwɔ Samaria.
Maarĩkia kũingĩra itũũra rĩu inene, Elisha akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova hingũra andũ aya maitho nĩgeetha mone.” Nake Jehova akĩmahingũra maitho, nao makĩona, magĩĩkora marĩ thĩinĩ wa Samaria.
21 Ɛberɛ a Israelhene hunuu wɔn no, ɔteaam, bisaa Elisa sɛ, “Mʼagya, menkunkum wɔn anaa?”
Rĩrĩa mũthamaki wa Isiraeli aamoonire-rĩ, akĩũria Elisha atĩrĩ, “Baba ndĩmoorage? Nĩ wega ndĩmoorage?”
22 Elisa buaa no sɛ, “Dabi. Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkunkum ɔko mu nnommumfoɔ anaa? Ma wɔn aduane ne nsuo, na ma wɔnsane nkɔ wɔn wura nkyɛn wɔ wɔn kurom.”
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 Enti, ɔhene no too wɔn ɛpono kɛseɛ, ma wɔsane kɔɔ wɔn ɔhene nkyɛn wɔ wɔn kurom. Ɛno akyi, Aramfoɔ ntohyɛsofoɔ no twee wɔn ho firii Israel asase ho koraa.
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 Akyire no, Aramhene Ben-Hadad boaboaa nʼakodɔm nyinaa ano, de wɔn kɔtuaa Samaria.
Na rĩrĩ, thuutha ũcio Beni-Hadadi mũthamaki wa Suriata agĩcookanĩrĩria mbũtũ ciake cia ita ciothe, igĩthiĩ, ikĩrigiicĩria Samaria irĩtunyane.
25 Ɛbaa saa no, ɛkɔm kɛseɛ baa kuro no mu. Ɛyɛɛ kakra no, na wɔtɔn afunumu ti dwetɛ kilogram baako, ɛnna wɔtɔn aborɔnoma bini kuruwa ma dwetɛ gram aduonum nwɔtwe.

26 Ɛda bi a Israelhene nam kuro no ɔfasuo ho no, ɔbaa bi kɔɔ ne nkyɛn kɔsrɛɛ no sɛ, “Me wura ɔhene, mesrɛ wo, boa me.”
Na rĩrĩa mũthamaki wa Isiraeli aahĩtũkagĩra rũthingo igũrũ-rĩ, mũtumia ũmwe akĩmũkaĩra, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki, mwathi wakwa, ndeithia!”
27 Ɔbuaa no sɛ, “Sɛ Awurade ammoa wo a, ɛdeɛn na mɛtumi ayɛ? Menni aduane anaa nsa a mede bɛma wo.”
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 Ɔhene no bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn asɛm?” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Saa ɔbaa yi kaa sɛ, yɛnwe me babarima da bi, na adeɛ kye a, yɛawe ɔno nso deɛ.
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 Enti, yɛnoaa me babarima weeɛ. Afei, adeɛ kyeeɛ no, meka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Kum wo babarima no ma yɛnwe,’ nanso, na ɔde no akɔsie.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũraruga mũriũ wakwa na tũramũrĩa. Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ ndĩramwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Ruta mũrũguo nĩgeetha tũmũrĩe,’ no aramũhitha.”
30 Na ɔhene no tee saa asɛm yi, ɔde anibiannasoɔ sunsuanee ne ntadeɛ mu. Na ɔhene no nam ɔfasuo no ho no, nnipa no hunuu sɛ ɔhyɛ ayitadeɛ wɔ nʼase.
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 Ɔhene no kaa ntam sɛ, “Sɛ ɛnnɛ mankum Safat babarima Elisa a, Onyankopɔn nku me.”
Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngai aronjĩka ũũru, na akĩrĩrĩrie kũnjĩka ũũru, angĩkorwo mũtwe wa Elisha mũrũ wa Shafatu nĩũgũkorwo ũnyiitaine na mwĩrĩ wake ũmũthĩ!”
32 Elisa te ne fie a ɔne Israel mpanimfoɔ reyɛ nhyiamu na ɔhene somaa abɔfoɔ kɔfrɛɛ no. Nanso, ansa na abɔfoɔ no rebɛduru no, Elisa ka kyerɛɛ mpanimfoɔ no sɛ, “Owudifoɔ asoma ɔbarima bi sɛ ɔmmɛkum me. Sɛ ɔduru ha a, to ɛpono no mu, na ɔnka akyire. Na ɛrenkyɛre ne wura no bɛdi nʼakyi aba.”
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!

33 Elisa gu so rekasa no, ɔbɔfoɔ no baeɛ. Na ɔhene no kaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ Awurade na ɔde saa ɔhaw yi abrɛ yɛn! Adɛn enti na ɛsɛ sɛ mekɔ so twɛn Awurade?”
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?”
