Inkosi yase-Aramu yayisalokhu ilwa no-Israyeli; yelulekana nezinceku zayo, yathi: “Ngizakukanisa ndaweni thizeni.” Umuntu kaNkulunkulu wathumela enkosini yakwa-Israyeli, wathi: “Qaphela ukuba ungadluli kuleyo ndawo, ngoba abase-Aramu behlele khona.” Inkosi yakwa-Israyeli yayisithuma umuntu kaNkulunkulu kuleyo ndawo ayishoyo, wayixwayisa, yaqaphela kungekanye, kungekabili. Inhliziyo yenkosi yase-Aramu yagcwala intukuthelo ngalolu daba, yabiza izinceku zayo, yathi kuzo: “Ningangitshela yini ukuthi ngobani phakathi kwethu abangasenkosini yakwa-Israyeli na?” Enye yezinceku zayo yathi: “Hhayi, nkosi yami, nkosi, kodwa u-Elisha, umphrofethi wakwa-Israyeli, oyitshelayo inkosi yakwa-Israyeli amazwi owakhuluma ekamelweni lakho lokulala.” Yayisithi: “Hamba ubone ukuthi ukuphi ukuze ngithumele ngimbambe.” Yatshelwa ukuthi: “Uyabona-ke, useDothani.” Yathumela khona amahhashi, izinqola, nempi enkulu; bafika ebusuku, bazungeza umuzi nxazonke. Inceku yomuntu kaNkulunkulu yavuka ekuseni, yaphuma; bheka, impi enamahhashi nezinqola yayiwuzungezile umuzi. Inceku yakhe yathi kuye: “Maye, nkosi! Siyakwenzenjani na?” Wathi: “Ungesabi, ngokuba abanathi baningi kunabanabo.” U-Elisha wakhuleka, wathi: “Simakade, ake uvule amehlo ayo ukuba ibone.” USimakade wawavula-ke amehlo aleyo nceku, yabona; bheka, intaba yayigcwele amahhashi nezinqola zomlilo zika-Elisha nxazonke. Behlela kuye, u-Elisha wakhuleka kuSimakade, wathi: “Mawusishaye ngobumpumputhe lesi sizwe.” Wasishaya ngobumpumputhe njengokwezwi lika-Elisha. Wayesethi u-Elisha kubo: “Le akusiyo indlela, nalo akusiwona umuzi; ngilandeleni, nginiyise kumuntu enimfunayo.” Wabayisa eSamariya. Kwathi ukuba bafike eSamariya, u-Elisha wathi: “Simakade, vula amehlo alaba bantu ukuba babone.” USimakade wawavula amehlo abo, babona; base bephakathi eSamariya. Inkosi yakwa-Israyeli isibabonile, yathi ku-Elisha: “Baba, ngibabulale yini? Ngibabulale na?” Kepha wathi: “Ungababulali; ngabe ubathumbe ngenkemba yakho nangomnsalo wakho laba ofuna ukubabulala na? Beka isinkwa namanzi phambi kwabo ukuba badle, baphuze, babuyele enkosini yabo.” Yayisibalungisela idili, idili elikhulu; badla, baphuza; yabavumela ukuba bahambe baye enkosini yabo. Amaviyo okuphanga ama-Aramu awaphindanga angena kwa-Israyeli.

2 AmaKhosi 6:8-23 Contemporary Zulu Bible 2024 (CZB24)
Inkosi yase-Aramu yasilwa no-Israyeli, yacebisana nezinceku zayo, yathi: “Ikamu lami liyakuba kuleyo ndawo.” Umuntu kaNkulunkulu wasethumela enkosini yakoIsrayeli ukuthi: Ziqaphele ukuthi ungadluli kuleyondawo; ngoba ama-Aramu ehlela khona. Inkosi yakwa-Israyeli yayisithumela endaweni umuntu kaNkulunkulu ayemmisele yona, yamxwayisa, yamsindisa lapho, kungabi kanye nakabili. Inhliziyo yenkosi yase-Aramu yakhathazeka kakhulu ngale ndaba; wabiza izinceku zakhe, wathi kuzo: “Aniyikungibonisa yini ukuthi ubani kithi ongowenkosi yakwa-Israyeli na? Yathi enye yezinceku zayo: “Makungabikho noyedwa, nkosi yami, nkosi, kuphela u-Elisha umprofethi okwa-Israyeli ongatshela inkosi yakwa-Israyeli amazwi owakhuluma ekamelweni lakho. Wathi: “Hambani nibone lapho ekhona, ukuze ngithumele ngimlande.” Wabikelwa ukuthi: “Bheka, useDothani.” Ngakho wathumela lapho amahhashi, nezinqola, nebutho elikhulu lempi, bafika ebusuku bawuhaqa umuzi. Inceku yomuntu kaNkulunkulu yasivuka ekuseni kakhulu, yaphuma, khangela-ke, ibutho lalihanqile umuzi, linamabhiza lezinqola. Inceku yakhe yathi kuye: “Maye, nkosi yami! sizokwenza kanjani. Wathi: “Ungesabi, ngokuba abanathi baningi kunabanabo.” U-Elisa wakhuleka wathi: “Nkosi, vula amehlo akhe ukuba abone.” UJehova wawavula amehlo ensizwa; wabheka, bheka, intaba yayigcwele amahhashi nezinqola zomlilo nxazonke zika-Elisha. Esehlela kuye, u-Elisha wakhuleka kuJehova, wathi: “Shaya lesi sizwe ngobumpumputhe.” Futhi wabashaya ngobumpumputhe ngokwezwi lika-Elisha. U-Elisha wathi kubo: “Le akusiyo indlela, nomuzi akusiwo; ngilandeleni, ngizaliletha kumuntu elimdingayo. Kodwa wabayisa eSamariya. Kwathi sebefikile eSamariya, uElisha wathi: Jehova, vula amehlo alababantu, ukuze babone. UJehova wavula amehlo abo, babona; bheka, babephakathi kweSamariya. Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasisithi kuElisha ibabona: Baba, ngibahlule yini? ngizobashaya. Wathi: “Ungabashayi; Uyafuna ukubabulala labo obathumbile ngenkemba yakho nangomnsalo wakho? ubeke isinkwa namanzi phambi kwabo, ukuze badle, baphuze, baye enkosini yabo. Wabalungisela ukudla okukhulu; sebedlile, baphuza, wabamukisa, baya enkosini yabo. Ngakho amaviyo ama-Aramu awabe esangena ezweni lakwa-Israyeli.
