U-Eliya wathi ku-Elisha: “Ake uhlale lapha, ngokuba uSimakade ungithumele eBhethele.” Kepha u-Elisha wathi: “Ngifunga ngiyagomela phambi kukaSimakade, naphambi kwakho, angisoze ngisuke kuwe.” Base behlela eBhethele. Amadodana abaphrofethi ayeseBhethele aphuma aya ku-Elisha, athi kuye: “Uyazi yini ukuthi namuhla uSimakade uzoyithatha inkosi yakho na?” Wathi: “Yebo, ngiyazi; thulani.” U-Eliya wathi kuye: “Elisha, ake usale lapha, ngokuba uSimakade ungithume eJerikho.” Kepha yena wathi: “Ngifunga ngiyagomela phambi kukaSimakade naphambi kwakho, angisoze ngakushiya.” Base beya eJerikho. Amadodana abaphrofethi ayeseJerikho asondela ku-Elisha, athi kuye: “Uyazi yini ukuthi namuhla uSimakade uzoyithatha inkosi yakho na?” Wathi: “Yebo, ngiyazi; thulani.” U-Eliya wathi ku-Elisha: “Ake usale lapha, ngokuba uSimakade ungithume eJordani.” Kepha yena wathi: “Ngifunga ngiyagomela phambi kukaSimakade naphambi kwakho, angisoze ngakushiya.” Base behamba bobabili. Abantu abangama-50, amadodana abaphrofethi bahamba bema buqamama maqondana nabo, bona bobabili bama ngaseJordani. U-Eliya wathatha isembatho sakhe, wasisonga, washaya amanzi, ehlukana ngapha nangapha, bawela iJordani bobabili, behamba emhlabathini owomileyo. Kwathi besawela iJordani, u-Eliya wathi ku-Elisha: “Cela ukuthi ufisa ngikwenzeleni ngaphambi kokuba ngisuswe kuwe.” U-Elisha wathi: “Umoya wakho mawuphindwe kabili kimi.” Wathi: “Ucele into elukhuni, nokho-ke uma ungibona lapho ngisuswa kuwe, kuyokwenzeka kanjalo kuwe, kodwa uma ungangibonanga, akuyukuba kanjalo.” Kwathi besalokhu behamba bexoxa, bheka, kwaqhamuka inqola yomlilo namahhashi omlilo, abehlukanisa, u-Eliya wenyukela ezulwini ngesivunguvungu. U-Elisha wakubona lokho, wamemeza, wathi: “Baba, baba, inqola yempi ka-Israyeli nabamahhashi bakhe!” Akabange esambona futhi; wabamba izingubo zakhe waziklebhula kabili. Wacosha isembatho sika-Eliya esasiwe kuye, waphindela emuva, wema osebeni lweJordani. Wasithatha isembatho sika-Eliya, esasiwe kuye, washaya ngaso amanzi, wathi: “Uphi uSimakade, uNkulunkulu ka-Eliya na?” Esewashayile amanzi, ahlukana ngapha nangapha, u-Elisha wawela. Amadodana abaphrofethi ayeseJerikho, ebuqamama, ambona, athi: “Umoya ka-Eliya wehlele phezu kuka-Elisha.” Asuka ayomhlangabeza, akhothama athi mbo emhlabathini phambi kwakhe. Athi kuye: “Bheka, phakathi kwethu izinceku zakho kunamadoda angama-50 anamandla. Mawahambe ayofuna inkosi yakho, hleze uMoya kaSimakade uyikhuphulile, wayilahla entabeni thizeni noma esigodini.” Kepha wathi: “Ningawathumi.” Amncengisisa waze waba namahloni, wayesethi: “Athumeni.” Ayesethuma abantu abangama-50, bamfuna izinsuku ezintathu, kodwa abamtholanga. Abuyela kuye, amfica eselokhu eseJerikho, wayesethi kuwo: “Angishongo yini ukuthi ningahambi na?”

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.” U-Eliya wathi kuye: “Elisha, ake uhlale lapha, ngokuba uJehova ungithumile eJeriko.” Kepha wathi: “Kuphila kukaJehova nokuphila kwakho, angiyikukushiya.” Bafika-ke eJeriko. Amadodana abaprofethi ayeseJeriko asondela ku-Elisha, athi kuye: “Uyazi yini ukuthi uJehova uyakususa inkosi yakho kuwe namuhla na?” Wathi: “Yebo, ngiyakwazi; thulani.” U-Eliya wathi kuye: “Ake uhlale lapha, ngokuba uJehova ungithumile eJordani.” Kepha wathi: “Kuphila kukaJehova nokuphila kwakho, angiyikukushiya.” Bahamba-ke bobabili. Abantu abangamashumi ayisihlanu bamadodana abaprofethi baya bema khashana maqondana nabo; bona bobabili bema ngaseJordani. U-Eliya wathatha ingubo yakhe, wayisonga, washaya amanzi, ahlukana ngalapha nangalapha, bawela bobabili emhlabathini owomileyo. Kwathi sebewelile, u-Eliya wathi ku-Elisha: “Cela engiyakukwenzela khona ngingakasuswa kuwe.” Wathi u-Elisha: “Makuphindwe kabili umoya wakho phezu kwami.” Kepha wathi: “Ucele into elukhuni; nokho, uma ungibona lapha ngisuswa kuwe, kuyakuba njalo kuwe; kodwa uma ungangiboni, akuyikuba njalo.” Kwathi beselokhu behamba bekhuluma, bheka, nanso inqola yomlilo namahhashi omlilo, kwabahlukanisa bobabili; u-Eliya wakhuphukela ezulwini ngesivunguvungu. U-Elisha wakubona, wamemeza wathi: “Baba, baba, nqola ka-Israyeli nabamahhashi bakhe!” Akabe esambona futhi; wabamba izingubo zakhe, waziklebhula kabili. Wacosha ingubo ka-Eliya ebiwile kuye, wabuya, wema ngasogwini lwaseJordani. 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. Athi kuye: “Bheka, kukhona phakathi kwezinceku zakho amadoda angamashumi ayisihlanu anamandla; mawahambe, afune inkosi yakho; kumbe uMoya kaJehova umkhuphulile, wamlahla entabeni ethile noma esigodini esithile.” Kepha wathi: “Ningawathumi.” Amncengisisa waze waba namahloni; wayesethi: “Thumani.” Ayesethuma abantu abangamashumi ayisihlanu; bamfuna izinsuku ezintathu, kepha abamtholanga. Babuyela kuye esahlezi eJeriko; wathi kubo: “Angishongo yini kini ukuthi: ‘Ningahambi,’ na?”

Kwathi uJehova esenyusele u-Eliya ezulwini ngesivunguvungu, u-Eliya wahamba no-Elisha besuka eGiligali. UElija wasesithi kuElisha: Hlala lapha; ngoba uJehova ungithumile eBhetheli. U-Eliza wathi kuye: Kuphila kukaJehova nokuphila komphefumulo wakho, angiyikukushiya. Ngemva kwalokho behlela eBhetheli. Amadodana abaprofethi ayeseBethele aphuma, aya ku-Elisha, athi kuye: “Uyazi yini ukuthi namuhla uJehova uyakususa inkosi yakho entlokweni yakho na? Wathi: Yebo, ngiyazi; Thula. UElija wasesithi kuye: Elisha, hlala lapha; ngoba iNkosi ingithumile eJeriko. Wathi: Kuphila kukaJehova nokuphila komphefumulo wakho, angiyikukushiya. Base befika eJeriko. Amadodana abaprofethi ayeseJeriko asondela ku-Elisha, athi kuye: Uyazi yini ukuthi namuhla uJehova uyakususa inkosi yakho entlokweni yakho na? Wathi: Yebo, ngiyazi; Thula. UElija wasesithi kuye: Hlala lapha; ngoba uJehova wangithuma eJordani. Wathi: Kuphila kukaJehova nokuphila komphefumulo wakho, angiyikukushiya. Baqhubeke bobabili. Kwasekuhamba amadoda angamatshumi amahlanu emadodaneni abaprofethi, ejama ukubukela khatshana; labo bobabili bema ngaseJordani. U-Eliya wathatha ingubo yakhe, wayisonga, washaya amanzi, ahlukana lapha nalaphaya, badabula bobabili emhlabathini owomileyo. Kwathi sebedabula, u-Eliya wathi ku-Elisha: “Cela engizakukwenzela khona ngaphambi kokuba ngisuswe kuwe.” U-Elisha wathi: “Izingxenye ezimbili zomoya wakho mazibe phezu kwami.” Wathi: “Ucele into enzima; kodwa uma ungibona lapho ngisuswa kuwe, kuyakuba njalo kuwe; kepha uma kungenjalo, akuyikuba njalo. Kwathi besakhuluma, kwabonakala inqola yomlilo namahhashi omlilo, kwabadabula bobabili; u-Eliya wenyukela ezulwini ngesivunguvungu. UElisha esekubona wamemeza wathi: Baba, baba, nqola kaIsrayeli labagadi bakhe bamabhiza! Akabange esambona, wathatha ezakhe izingubo, waziklebhula kabili. Wacosha ingubo ka-Eliya eyayiwile kuye, wabuya, wema ngasogwini lweJordani; Wathatha ingubo ka-Eliya eyayiwile kuye, washaya amanzi, wathi: “Uphi uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Eliya na?” nalapho eshaya amanzi, ahlukana, u-Elisha wawela. Kwathi amadodana abaprofethi ababezakumbona eJeriko embona athi: Umoya kaElija uhlezi phezu kukaElisha. Bamhlangabeza, bakhothama emhlabathini phambi kwakhe. Bathi kuye: “Bheka, kukhona amadoda anamandla angamashumi ayisihlanu kanye nezinceku zakho; mawahambe ayofuna inkosi yakho, funa uMoya kaJehova ungenyuswanga wayiphonsa entabeni ethile noma esigodini esithile. Wathi: “Awunakuthuma.” Bamcindezela waze waba namahloni, wathi: “Thuma!” Basebethuma amadoda angamashumi amahlanu; bamfuna izinsuku ezintathu, kepha abamtholanga. Sebefikile kuye, ngokuba ehlezi eJeriko, wathi kubo: “Angishongo yini kini ukuthi: Ningahambi na?”
