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.
Ụmụ ndị amụma gwara Ịlaisha okwu sị, “Lee, ebe a anyị bi nʼihu gị dị oke nta karịa.

Ya mere, ka anyị gaa nʼakụkụ Jọdan gbute osisi anyị ga-eji wuo ụlọ ebe anyị ga-ebi.” Ọ sịrị ha, “Meenụ ka unu kwuru.”
3 Obi kaa nʼadwene sɛ, “Mesrɛ wo, bɛka yɛn ho na yɛnkɔ.” Ɔkaa sɛ, “Mate yɛbɛkɔ.”
Ma otu onye nʼime ha rịọrọ ya sị, “Biko, nna anyị ukwu, soronụ anyị.” O kwenyere na ọ ga-eso ha.
4 Ɛberɛ a wɔduruu Yordan ho no, wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ buu nnua.
O sonyekwara ha. Mgbe ha bịaruru nʼakụkụ Jọdan, ha malitere igbutu osisi.
5 Nanso, wɔn mu baako rebu dua no, nʼabonnua hɔn tɔɔ nsuo no mu. Ɔteaam sɛ, “Aa! Me wura, ɛyɛ abonnua a mekɔsrɛeɛ!”
Ma mgbe otu nʼime ha nọ na-egbutu otu osisi, anyụike ya dabara nʼime mmiri. O tiri mkpu sị, “Ewoo, onyenwe m. Ọ bụkwanụ ihe a rịọtara arịọta.”
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.
Mgbe ahụ, onye nke Chineke jụrụ ya sị, “Ebee ka ọ dabara?” Mgbe o ziri ya ebe ọ dabara, Ịlaisha gbutere osisi tụba ya nʼebe ahụ, mee ka anyụike ahụ segolite na-erugharị nʼelu mmiri.
7 Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ma so yi.” Na ɔbarima no tenee ne nsa yiiɛ.
Ọ sịrị, “Tụtụlite ya.” O setịrị aka ya wepụta ya.
8 Ɛberɛ a Aramhene ne Israel redi ako no, ɔne ne mpanimfoɔ tuu agyina, kaa sɛ, “Yɛbɛboaboa yɛn akodɔm ano wɔ ha anaa ɛha.”
Nʼoge a, eze ndị Aram na ndị Izrel nọ nʼagha. Mgbe ya na ndịisi agha ya kparịtachara, ọ sịrị, “Aga m eguzobe ọmụma ụlọ ikwu m nʼebe dị otu a na nʼebe dị otu a.”
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.”
Ngwangwa, onye nke Chineke zigaara eze Izrel ozi sị, “Lezie anya, unu ejekwala nso nʼebe ahụ, nʼihi na eze Aram na ndị agha ya nọ nʼebe ahụ.”
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.
Nʼihi nke a, eze Izrel mere nchọpụta banyere ebe ahụ onye nke Chineke gwara ya. Ọtụtụ mgbe Ịlaisha dọrọ eze aka na ntị, nʼihi ya, ha nọrọ na nche nʼebe ahụ niile.
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?”
Ihe ndị a mere ka iwe wee eze ndị Aram. Ọ kpọkọtara ndịisi ọrụ ya nye ha iwu sị, “Gwanụ m, onye nʼime anyị dịnyere eze Izrel?”
12 Mpanimfoɔ no mu baako buaa sɛ, “Me wura, ɛnyɛ yɛn. Elisa a ɔyɛ odiyifoɔ wɔ Israel no na ɔka wo kɔkoamsɛm kyerɛ Israelhene.”
Otu onye nʼime ndị ọchịagha ya sịrị, “O nweghị onye ọbụla nʼime anyị, onyenwe m bụ eze. Ọ bụ Ịlaisha, onye amụma Izrel, bụ onye na-agwa eze Izrel okwu niile i na-ekwu nʼime ebe ndina gị.”
13 Ɔhene no hyɛɛ sɛ, “Monkɔhwehwɛ baabi a Elisa wɔ, na yɛbɛsoma akodɔm ama wɔakɔkye no.” Na nkra baeɛ sɛ, “Elisa wɔ Dotan.”
Ya mere, eze Aram nyere ha iwu sị ha, “Gaanụ, chọpụta ebe ọ nọ, ka m ziga ndị agha ga-aga jide ya.” Ha gara lọta, kọọrọ ya na Ịlaisha nọ na Dọtan.
14 Enti, anadwo bi, Aramhene somaa akodɔm bebree ne wɔn nteaseɛnam ne wɔn apɔnkɔ kɔtwaa kanko faa kuropɔn no ho.
Nʼihi ya, nʼotu anyasị eze Aram zigara ọtụtụ ndị agha ya, ndị ji ịnyịnya na ụgbọ agha gbaa obodo ahụ gburugburu.
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?”
Mgbe onye na-ejere onye nke Chineke ozi biliri ọtọ nʼisi ụtụtụ pụọ, ọ hụrụ ọtụtụ ndị agha na ịnyịnya na ụgbọala, ka ha gbara obodo ha nọ gburugburu. O tiri mkpu sị, “Ewoo, onyenwe m, gịnị ka anyị ga-eme ugbu a?”
16 Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Nsuro na yɛwɔ ɛdɔm sene wɔn.”
Ma Ịlaisha zara sị ya, “Atụla egwu, nʼihi na ndị nọnyere anyị dị ọtụtụ karịa ndị nọnyeere ha.”
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Ịlaisha kpere ekpere sị, “Onyenwe anyị, biko, saghee anya ya abụọ ka ọ hụ.” Onyenwe anyị meghere anya ohu Ịlaisha, mee ka ọ hụ ịnyịnya ọkụ, na ụgbọala ọkụ jupụtara nʼugwu dị gburugburu ebe ahụ niile.
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.
Mgbe ndị iro ahụ na-abịaru ya nso, Ịlaisha kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị nʼekpere sị, “Mee ka ìsì kpuo ndị agha niile.” O mekwara ka ìsì kpuo ha, dịka Ịlaisha rịọọrọ.
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.
Ịlaisha pụtara sị ha, “Nke a abụghị ụzọ, nke a abụkwaghị obodo unu na-achọ. Soronụ m, ka m gosi unu nwoke unu na-achọ.” O duuru ha jee Sameria.
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.
Mgbe ha bịaruru Sameria, Ịlaisha kpere ekpere sị, “Biko, Onyenwe anyị, ugbu a meghee anya ha, ka ha hụ ụzọ.” Onyenwe anyị meghere anya ha dịka Ịlaisha kpere nʼekpere; ha matakwara na ha nọ na Sameria.
21 Ɛberɛ a Israelhene hunuu wɔn no, ɔteaam, bisaa Elisa sɛ, “Mʼagya, menkunkum wɔn anaa?”
Mgbe eze Izrel hụrụ ha, ọ jụrụ Ịlaisha ajụjụ sị, “Nna m, ị chọrọ ka m gbuo ha?”
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.”
Ịlaisha zara sị ya, “Egbula ha. Ị ga-egbu ndị i ji mma agha na ụta gị dọta nʼagha? Nye ha nri na mmiri, zilaga ha ka ha lakwuru onyenwe ha.”
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.
Ya mere, ọ kwadooro ha oke oriri dị ukwuu, mgbe ha riri, ṅụkwaa, o zilagara ha, ha lakwuuru nna ha ukwu. Site nʼoge ahụ gaa nʼihu, ndị otu Aram na-apụnara mmadụ ihe kwusịrị inye nsogbu nʼoke ala ndị Izrel.
24 Akyire no, Aramhene Ben-Hadad boaboaa nʼakodɔm nyinaa ano, de wɔn kɔtuaa Samaria.
Ma mgbe ụfọdụ oge gasịrị, Ben-Hadad, eze Aram, chịkọtara ndị agha ya niile pụta bịa gbaa Sameria gburugburu.
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.
Nʼihi nke a, oke ụnwụ dara nʼobodo Sameria. Nri kọrọ nʼala ahụ ruo na e bidoro ire otu isi ịnyịnya ibu iri shekel ọlaọcha asatọ. E rekwara nsị nduru shekel ise.
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.”
Mgbe eze Izrel na-agafe nʼelu mgbidi gbara obodo ahụ gburugburu, otu nwanyị kpọkuru ya sị ya, “Nyere m aka, onyenwe m eze.”
27 Ɔbuaa no sɛ, “Sɛ Awurade ammoa wo a, ɛdeɛn na mɛtumi ayɛ? Menni aduane anaa nsa a mede bɛma wo.”
Ma eze zara sị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na Onyenwe anyị ekweghị inyere gị aka, ebee ka m ga-esi nwetara gị inyeaka? Ọ bụ site nʼebe ịzọcha ọka? Ka ọ bụ nʼebe ịzọcha mmanya vaịnị?”
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.
Mgbe ahụ, eze jụrụ ya sị, “Gịnị na-eme?” Ọ zara, “Nwanyị a sịrị, ‘Nye nwa gị nwoke ka anyị rie ya taa, echi anyị ga-eri nwa m nwoke.’
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.”
Ya mere, na anyị siri nwa m rie ya. Nʼụbọchị nke so ya asịrị m ya, ‘Wepụta nwa gị nwoke ka anyị rie ya,’ ma o zoola ya.”
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.
Mgbe eze nụrụ okwu nwanyị a, ọ dọwara uwe ya. Ma dịka ọ na-agabiga nʼelu mgbidi ahụ, ndị mmadụ lere anya hụ nʼokpuru uwe, akwa mkpe dị nʼime ahụ ya.
31 Ɔhene no kaa ntam sɛ, “Sɛ ɛnnɛ mankum Safat babarima Elisa a, Onyankopɔn nku me.”
Ọ sịrị, “Ka Chineke mesoo m mmeso, otu ọbụla mmeso ahụ si dị njọ, ma ọ bụrụ na isi Ịlaisha nwa Shafat anọgide nʼahụ ya taa.”
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.”
Nʼoge a, Ịlaisha nọdụrụ ala nʼụlọ ya, ndị okenye sokwa ya nọdụ. Eze zipụrụ onyeozi, ma tupu o rute, Ịlaisha gwara ndị okenye ahụ okwu sị ha, “Unu ahụla na ogbu mmadụ a ezitela mmadụ ka ọ bịa gbupụ m isi. Mgbe onyeozi ya bịaruru, mechienụ ụzọ hapụ ya nʼezi, nʼihi na eze nʼonwe ya ga-eso ya nʼazụ bịa.”
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?”
Mgbe Ịlaisha nọ na-agwa ha okwu, lee onyeozi ahụ ka ọ na-abịakwute ya. Eze sokwa ya nʼazụ na-ekwu okwu na-asị, “Onyenwe anyị emeela ka ihe ọjọọ dị otu a dakwasị anyị. Gịnị mere m ga-eji lee anya inyeaka site nʼaka Onyenwe anyị ọzọ?”
