Amadodana abaprofethi enza isicelo ku-Elisha
1Amadodana abaprofethi athi ku-Elisha: “Bheka, indawo esihlala kuyo nawe iminyene kakhulu kithi;
2Masiye eJordani, sizithathele khona, kube yilowo nalowo ugodo, sizenzele khona indawo yokuhlala. Wathi: Hamba!
3Omunye wathi: “Vuma, uhambe nezinceku zakho.” Wasesithi: Ngizahamba.
4Wasehamba labo. Sebefike eJordani bagawula izinkuni.
5Kodwa kwathi othile esagamula ugodo, izembe lawela emanzini, wakhala wathi: “Awu, nkosi! ngoba libolekiwe.
6Umuntu kaNkulunkulu wasesithi: Liwele ngaphi? Wamkhombisa indawo. Wagawula induku, wayiphonsa; insimbi yabhukuda.
7Ngakho wathi: Zithathele. Futhi welula isandla sakhe, wayithatha.
8Inkosi yase-Aramu yasilwa no-Israyeli, yacebisana nezinceku zayo, yathi: “Ikamu lami liyakuba kuleyo ndawo.”
9Umuntu kaNkulunkulu wasethumela enkosini yakoIsrayeli ukuthi: Ziqaphele ukuthi ungadluli kuleyondawo; ngoba ama-Aramu ehlela khona.
10Inkosi yakwa-Israyeli yayisithumela endaweni umuntu kaNkulunkulu ayemmisele yona, yamxwayisa, yamsindisa lapho, kungabi kanye nakabili.
11Inhliziyo yenkosi yase-Aramu yakhathazeka kakhulu ngale ndaba; wabiza izinceku zakhe, wathi kuzo: “Aniyikungibonisa yini ukuthi ubani kithi ongowenkosi yakwa-Israyeli na?
12Yathi enye yezinceku zayo: “Makungabikho noyedwa, nkosi yami, nkosi, kuphela u-Elisha umprofethi okwa-Israyeli ongatshela inkosi yakwa-Israyeli amazwi owakhuluma ekamelweni lakho.
13Wathi: “Hambani nibone lapho ekhona, ukuze ngithumele ngimlande.” Wabikelwa ukuthi: “Bheka, useDothani.”
14Ngakho wathumela lapho amahhashi, nezinqola, nebutho elikhulu lempi, bafika ebusuku bawuhaqa umuzi.
15Inceku yomuntu kaNkulunkulu yasivuka ekuseni kakhulu, yaphuma, khangela-ke, ibutho lalihanqile umuzi, linamabhiza lezinqola. Inceku yakhe yathi kuye: “Maye, nkosi yami! sizokwenza kanjani.
16Wathi: “Ungesabi, ngokuba abanathi baningi kunabanabo.”
17U-Elisa wakhuleka wathi: “Nkosi, vula amehlo akhe ukuba abone.” UJehova wawavula amehlo ensizwa; wabheka, bheka, intaba yayigcwele amahhashi nezinqola zomlilo nxazonke zika-Elisha.
18Esehlela kuye, u-Elisha wakhuleka kuJehova, wathi: “Shaya lesi sizwe ngobumpumputhe.” Futhi wabashaya ngobumpumputhe ngokwezwi lika-Elisha.
19U-Elisha wathi kubo: “Le akusiyo indlela, nomuzi akusiwo; ngilandeleni, ngizaliletha kumuntu elimdingayo. Kodwa wabayisa eSamariya.
20Kwathi sebefikile eSamariya, uElisha wathi: Jehova, vula amehlo alababantu, ukuze babone. UJehova wavula amehlo abo, babona; bheka, babephakathi kweSamariya.
21Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasisithi kuElisha ibabona: Baba, ngibahlule yini? ngizobashaya.
22Wathi: “Ungabashayi; Uyafuna ukubabulala labo obathumbile ngenkemba yakho nangomnsalo wakho? ubeke isinkwa namanzi phambi kwabo, ukuze badle, baphuze, baye enkosini yabo.
23Wabalungisela ukudla okukhulu; sebedlile, baphuza, wabamukisa, baya enkosini yabo. Ngakho amaviyo ama-Aramu awabe esangena ezweni lakwa-Israyeli.
24Ngasemuva uBeni Hadadi inkosi yase-Aramu wabutha yonke impi yakhe, wenyuka wavimbezela iSamariya.
25Kwase kuba khona indlala enkulu eSamariya; bheka, balivimbezela kwaze kwathengiswa ikhanda lembongolo ngamashekeli angamashumi ayisishiyagalombili esiliva, nengxenye yesine yenkemba yamathonsi ejuba ngamashekeli ayisihlanu esiliva.
26Kwathi inkosi yakwa-Israyeli idlula phezu komduli, owesifazane wamemeza kuye, wathi: “Siza, nkosi yami, nkosi!
27Wathi: “Uma uJehova engakusizi, mina ngiyakukusiza ngani na?” esitezini noma emshinini wokukhandela?
28Inkosi yasisithi kuye: Ulani? Wathi: “Lo wesifazane wathi kimi: ‘Letha indodana yakho ukuba siyidle namuhla, futhi kusasa sizodla indodana yami.’
29Sayipheka indodana yami, sayidla; ngangomuso ngathi kuye: Letha indodana yakho ukuba siyidle; wayifihla indodana yakhe.
30Kwathi inkosi isizwile amazwi owesifazana, yaklebhula izembatho zayo; wadlula odongeni, abantu bakubona, bheka, wayenengubo yesaka phezu kwenyama yakhe ngaphakathi.
31Wathi: “UNkulunkulu makenze lokhu, enezele, lapho ikhanda lika-Elisha, indodana kaShafati, limi phezu kwakhe namuhla.”
32Kepha u-Elisha wayehlezi endlini yakhe, namalunga ehlezi naye; Inkosi yasithuma indoda phambi kwayo, kodwa ingakafiki kuye isithunywa, yathi kubadala: Liyabona yini ukuthi lendodana yombulali ithume ukususa ikhanda lami? Bhekani, lapho isithunywa sifika, nivale umnyango, nisigcine emnyango. Ingabe umsindo wezinyawo zenkosi yakhe awukho ngemva kwakhe?
33Esakhuluma nabo, kwafika isithunywa kuye, sathi: “Bheka, lobu bubi buvela kuJehova; ngisalindeni uJehova na?
