Wathi: Ngishisekele nokushisekela uJehova uNkulunkulu Sebawoti , ngokuba abantwana bakwa-Israyeli balahlile isivumelwano sakho , badilizile ama-altare akho , babulele abaprofethi bakho ngenkemba , kusele mina ngedwa; sebefuna umphefumulo wami ukuba bawususe. Ukubizwa kuka-Elisha

Kuyakuthi obalekela inkemba kaHazayeli abulawe nguJehu ; obalekela inkemba kaJehu uyakubulawa ngu-Elisha.

Wayesesuka lapho , wamfumana u -Elisha indodana kaShafati ; wayelima ngezinkabi ezingamabh angqa ayishumi nambili phambi kwakhe , yena esebhangqeni leshumi nambili ; u-Eliya wadlulela kuye , waphonsa ingubo yakhe kuye.

Kwathi lapho uJehova ebeyakumkhuphula u -Eliya aye ezulwini ngesivunguvungu, u-Eliya wasuka eGiligali no-Elisha.

U-Eliya wathi ku -Elisha: Ake uhlale lapha , ngokuba uJehova ungithumile eBethele. Kepha u-Elisha wathi : Kuphila kukaJehova nokuphila komphefumulo wakho, angiyikukushiya. Behlela-ke eBethele.

Amadodana abaprofethi ayeseBethele aphuma , aya ku -Elisha, athi kuye : Uyazi yini ukuthi uJehova uyakususa inkosi yakho kuwe namuhla na? Wathi: Yebo, ngiyakwazi; thulani.

Kwathi sebewelile, u-Eliya wathi ku -Elisha: Cela engiyakukwenzela khona ngingakasuswa kuwe . Wathi u-Elisha: Makuphindwe kabili umoya wakho phezu kwami.

U-Elisha wakubona , wamemeza wathi : Baba, baba, nqola ka -Israyeli nabamahhashi bakhe ! Akabe esambona futhi ; wabamba izingubo zakhe , waziklebhula kabili. U-Elisha ungumprofethi; izimangaliso zakhe

Wayithatha ingubo ka -Eliya ebiwile kuye , washaya amanzi , wathi: Uphi uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Eliya na? Esewashayile amanzi, ahlukana ngalapha nangalapha; u-Elisha wawela.

Esembonile amadodana abaprofethi aseJeriko ayemalungana naye , athi: Umoya ka -Eliya uhlezi phezu kuka -Elisha. Afika ukumhlangabeza , akhothamela phansi phambi kwakhe.

Kepha abantu bomuzi bathi ku -Elisha: Bheka, isiza somuzi sihle , njengokuba inkosi ibona, kepha amanzi mabi, izwe liyabhulubisa.

Elashwa-ke amanzi kuze kube namuhla njengezwi lika-Elisha alikhulumayo.

Kepha uJehoshafati wathi : Akakho lapha umprofethi k aJehova ukuba sibuze kuJehova ngaye na ? Enye yezinceku zenkosi yakwa -Israyeli yaphendula yathi : Ukhona u -Elisha indodana kaShafati owathela amanzi ezandleni zika-Eliya.

Kepha u -Elisha wathi enkosini yakwa -Israyeli: Nginamsebenzi muni nawe na? Hamba uye kubaprofethi bakayihlo nakubaprofethi bakanyoko . Kepha inkosi yakwa -Israyeli yathi kuye : Hhayi, ngokuba uJehova ubizile lawo makhosi amathathu ukuwanikela esandleni sakwaMowabi.

Wayesethi u-Elisha: Kuphila kukaJehova Sebawoti engimi phambi kwakhe , uma bengingamazisi uJehoshafati inkosi yakwaJuda , ngempela ngingeze ngakubheka, ngingeze ngakubona.

Kwakhala ku-Elisha owesifazane othile wabafazi bamadodana abaprofethi, wathi: Inceku yakho , indoda yami , ifile; wena uyazi ukuthi incek u yakho yayimesaba uJehova ; sekufike umtshelekisi ukuzithathela abafana bami ababili babe yizigqila.

U-Elisha wathi kuye : Ngikwenzele ntoni na ? Ngitshele. Unantoni endlini? Wathi: Incekukazi yakho ayinalutho endlini ngaphandle komfuma wamafutha.

Kwathi ngelinye ilanga u -Elisha wadlulela eShunemi lapho kwakukhona owesifazane ocebileyo , wamcindezela ukuba adle isinkwa . Kwakuthi njalo nxa edlula, waphambukela khona ukuba adle.

Kepha owesifazane wakhulelwa , wazala indodana ngaleso sikhathi ngomnyaka olandelayo njengokusho kuka-Elisha kuye.

U-Elisha esengene endlini , bheka, umntwana wayefile elele embhedeni wakhe.

U-Elisha wabuyela eGiligali ; kwakukhona indlala kulelo zwe ; amadodana abaprofethi ayehlezi phambi kwakhe ; wathi encekwini yakhe: Bheka ikhanzi elikhulu, uphekele amadodana abaprofethi ukudla.

Kepha wathi : Lethani impuphu . Wayiphonsa ekhanzini , wathi: Thululela abantu ukuba badle. Kwakungasekho okubi ekhanzini. U-Elisha usuthisa abantu abayikhulu

Kwathi u-Elisha umuntu kaNkulunkulu esezwile ukuthi inkosi yakwa-Israyeli iklebhulile izingubo zayo, wathumela enkosini, wathi: Uklebhuleleni izingubo zakho na? Makeze kimi, aze azi ukuthi kukhona umprofethi kwa-Israyeli.

Wayesefika uNahamani namahhashi akhe nezinqola zakhe , wema ngasemnyango wendlu ka-Elisha.

U-Elisha wathuma isithunywa kuye ngokuthi : Hamba ugeze kasikhombisa eJordani; kuyakuthi inyama ibuyele kuwe, uhlambuluke.

Kepha uGehazi inceku ka-Elisha umuntu kaNkulunkulu wathi: Bheka, inkosi yami imyekile uNahamani lo wase -Aramu ngokungamukeli ezandleni zakhe akulethayo; kuphila kukaJehova, ngiyakugijima, ngimlandele, ngithathe into kuye.

Kepha yena wangena, wema phambi kwenkosi yakhe. U-Elisha wathi kuye: Uvelaphi, Gehazi? Wathi: Inceku yakho ayiyanga ndawo.

Amadodana abaprofethi athi ku-Elisha: Bheka, indawo esihlezi kuyo phambi kwakho, siminyene kuyo.

Enye yezinceku zayo yathi : Hhayi, nkosi yami , nkosi, kodwa u -Elisha, umprofethi wakwa -Israyeli, uyayitshela inkosi yakwa -Israyeli amazwi owakhulumayo ekamelweni lakho lokulala.

U-Elisha wakhuleka , wathi: Jehova, ake uvule amehlo ayo ukuba ibone . UJehova wavula-ke amehlo aleyo nceku , yabona; bheka, intaba yayigcwele amahhashi nezinqola zomlilo nxazonke zakhe u-Elisha.

Sebehlela kuye , u-Elisha wakhuleka kuJehova , wathi: Mawushaye lesi sizwe ngobumpumputhe. Wasishaya ngobumpumputhe njengezwi lika-Elisha.

Wayesethi u -Elisha kubo : Le akusiyo indlela , nalona akusiwo umuzi ; ngilandeleni, nginiyise kumuntu enimfunayo. Wabayisa eSamariya.

Kwathi sebefike eSamariya , u-Elisha wathi : Jehova, vula amehlo alaba bantu ukuba babone . UJehova wavula amehlo abo , babona; bheka, base bephakathi kweSamariya.

Inkosi yakwa-Israyeli yathi ku -Elisha, isibabonile: Baba, ngibabulale na ? Ngibabulale na?

Yathi: UNkulunkulu makenze njalo, enezele futhi, uma ikhanda lika-Elisha, indodana kaShafati, liyakube lisekuye namuhla.

Yayisithuma umuntu phambi kwayo, u-Elisha esahlezi endlini yakhe , namalunga ehlezi naye ; kepha, singakafiki kuye isithunywa , wathi emalungeni: Niyabona yini ukuthi le ndodana yombulali ithumele ukunquma ikhanda lami na ? Bhekani, ekufikeni kwesithunywa manivale isivalo , nisibuyisele emuva isithunywa ngesivalo ; angithi izigqi zezinyawo zenkosi yaso zisemva kwaso na?

U-Elisha wayekhulumile nowesifazane ondodana yakhe ayivusile ngokuthi : Suka uhambe wena nabendlu yakho, uhlale lapho ungahlala khona, ngokuba uJehova umemezele indlala, futhi iyakufika ezweni iminyaka eyisikhombisa.

Inkosi yayisilokhu ikhuluma noGehazi inceku yomuntu kaNkulunkulu ukuthi: Ake ungilandise zonke izinto ezinkulu azenzileyo u-Elisha.

Kwathi esayilandisa inkosi ukuthi uvusile ofileyo , bheka, owesifazane ondodana yakhe ayivusileyo wakhala enkosini ngendlu yakhe nangezwe lakhe. Wayesethi uGehazi: Nkosi yami, nkosi, yilo owesifazane, yile indodana yakhe u-Elisha ayivusileyo.

Wayesefika u-Elisha eDamaseku; uBeni Hadadi inkosi yase-Aramu wayegula; watshelwa ukuthi: Umuntu kaNkulunkulu ufikile lapha.

U-Elisha wathi kuye : Hamba, uthi kuye : U yakusinda nokusinda , kodwa uJehova ungibonisile ukuthi ngempela uyakufa nokufa.

U-Elisha wayesemgqolozela , UHazayeli waze waba namahloni . Wayeseqhumuka ekhala umuntu kaNkulunkulu.

Kepha uHazayeli wathi: Kodwa iyini inceku yakho eyinja nje ukuba yenze le nto e nkulu na ? Wathi u-Elisha: UJehova ungibonisile ukuthi uyakuba yinkosi e-Aramu.

Wayesesuka ku-Elisha, weza enkosini yakhe ; yathi kuye: Utheni kuwe na ? Wathi: Uthe kimi uyakusinda nokusinda.

U-Elisha umprofethi wabiza enye yamadodana abaprofethi , wathi kuyo : Khwica, uphathe lo mfuma wamafutha esandleni sakho , uye eRamoti Gileyadi.

UJowashi wayeselala koyise ; uJerobowamu wahlala esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi; uJowashi wembelwa eSamariya namakhosi akwa-Israyeli. Ukugula nokufa kuka-Elisha

U-Elisha wathi kuye : Thatha umnsalo nemicibisholo . Wathatha-ke umnnsalo nemicibisholo.

Wathi enkosini yakwa -Israyeli: Beka isandla sakho emnsalw eni. Yabeka-ke isandla sayo. U-Elisha wabeka izandla zakhe phezu kwezandla zenkosi.
