¹Kwasekusithi owesifazana othile phakathi kwabafazi bamadodana abaprofethi wamemeza kuEliza, wathi: Inceku yakho, indoda yami, ifile; uyazi wena ukuthi inceku yakho yayimesaba uJehova, njalo umtshelekisi weza ukuthathela amadodana ami amabili abe yizigqili zakhe.

²U-Elisha wathi kuye: “Ngikwenzeleni na? ngitshele, unani endlini? Wathi: “Incekukazi yakho ayinalutho endlini ngaphandle kwekhanzi lamafutha.”

³Wathi: “Hamba uboleke izimbiza ezingenalutho kubo bonke abakhelene nawe; ungaboleki ipheya.

⁴Lapho ungena, kumelwe ukhiyele wena namadodana akho umnyango futhi uthele kuzo zonke lezo zitsha, futhi kumelwe ubeke eceleni ezigcwele.

⁵Wasuka kuye, wazivalela yena namadodana akhe umnyango, amlethela izitsha; waphoseka.

⁶Kwathi izimbiza sezigcwele wathi endodaneni yakhe: Letha okunye kimi. Wathi kuye: “Akusekho mphongolo.” Asala amafutha.

⁷Ngemva kwalokho weza watshela lowo muntu kaNkulunkulu. Wathi: Hamba uthengise ngamafutha, ukhokhe isikweleti sakho, wena nabantwana bakho niphile ngaleya mpilo.

⁸Kwathi ngolunye usuku u-Elisha wawelela eShunemi, lapho kwakukhona khona owesifazane omkhulu; wamcindezela ukuba adle isinkwa. Kwathi njalo lapho edlula, waphambukela khona ukuba adle isinkwa.

⁹Wathi endodeni yakhe: “Bheka, ngiyabona ukuthi ngumuntu ongcwele kaNkulunkulu odlula kithi sonke isikhathi.”

¹⁰Masenze ikamelo elincane ngaseludongeni; futhi simbekele khona umbhede, netafula, nesihlalo, nothi lwesibani; futhi lapho efika kithi, kumelwe aphambukele khona.

¹¹Kwathi ngolunye usuku wafika khona, wangena ekamelweni, walala khona.

¹²Wathi encekwini yakhe uGehazi: “Biza lowo mShunemi.” Lapho embiza, wema phambi kwakhe.

¹³Wathi kuye: “Mtshele ukuthi: Bheka, usinakekele ngakho konke lokho; yini okumele yenzelwe wena? uyakuthiwa enkosini noma enduneni yebutho na? Wathi: “Ngihlala phakathi kwabantu bakithi.”

¹⁴Wathi: “Pho, kumelwe enzeni na?” UGehazi wasesithi: Khangela, kalamntwana, lendoda yakhe isiluphele;

¹⁵Wathi: “Mbize.” Wathi uma embiza, wema emnyango.

¹⁶Wathi: “Ngalesi sikhathi, ngokwesikhathi sokuphila, uyobe ugone umfana. Wathi: “Qha, nkosi yami, muntu kaNkulunkulu, ungaqambi amanga encekwini yakho;

¹⁷Owesifazana wakhulelwa wabeletha indodana ngesikhathi uEliza amtshela ngaso, ngokwesikhathi sokuphila.

¹⁸Kwathi umntwana esekhulile, kwathi ngolunye usuku waphuma, waya kuyise kubavuni.

¹⁹Wathi kuyise: “Ikhanda lami, ikhanda lami.” Wathi kumfana: “Mthwale umyise kunina.”

²⁰Esemthathile wamyisa kunina, wahlala emadolweni akhe kwaze kwaba semini enkulu, wafa.

²¹Wakhuphuka wamlalisa embhedeni womuntu kaNkulunkulu, wamvalela, waphuma.

²²Wabiza umyeni wakhe, wathi: “Ngithumele enye yezinsizwa neyodwa yezimbongolo, ngigijime ngiye kulowo muntu kaNkulunkulu, ngibuye.”

²³Wathi: “Uzayelani kuye namuhla na?” akusikhona ukwethwasa kwenyanga noma isabatha. Wathi: “Kuzolunga.”

²⁴Wayesebophela imbongolo, wathi encekwini yakhe: “Khwela, uhambe; Ungangideleli ngaphandle kokuthi ngikutshele.

²⁵Wayesehamba, wafika kumuntu kaNkulunkulu entabeni yaseKarmeli. Lapho umuntu kaNkulunkulu embona ekude, wathi encekwini yakhe uGehazi: “Bheka, nangu lowo mShunemi.”

²⁶Gijimani nimhlangabeze, nithi kuye: ‘Uyaphila na? ukahle umyeni wakho? iyaphila ingane? Wathi: “Kuhle.”

²⁷Esefikile kumuntu kaNkulunkulu entabeni, wambamba ezinyaweni; kodwa uGehazi wasondela ukuze amsunduze. Wayesethi umuntu kaNkulunkulu: “Makame; ngokuba umphefumulo wakhe ukhathazekile phakathi kwakhe, uJehova ungifihlele, kazange akwazise kimi.

²⁸Wathi: “Ngacela indodana enkosini yami na?” Angishongo yini ukuthi: Ningangikhohlisi?

²⁹Wayesethi kuGehazi: “Bhinca ukhalo lwakho, uphathe udondolo lwami esandleni sakho, uhambe; uma uhlangana nomuntu, ungambingelela; uma umuntu ekubingelela, ungabe usamphendula; ngibeke induku yami ebusweni bomfana.

³⁰Unina womntwana wathi: Kuphila kukaJehova nokuphila komphefumulo wakho, angiyikukushiya. Wasukuma wamlandela.

³¹UGehazi waphuma phambi kwabo, wabeka induku ebusweni bomfana; kodwa kwakungekho zwi nezilaleli. Ngakho waphinda wahlangana laye wamtshela wathi: Umntwana kakaphaphami.

³²U-Elisha esengena endlini, umntwana wayefile, elele embhedeni wakhe.

³³Wangena wabahluthulela bobabili umnyango, wakhuleka kuJehova.

³⁴Wakhuphuka, walala phezu komntwana, wabeka umlomo wakhe emlonyeni wakhe, namehlo akhe phezu kwamehlo akhe, nezandla zakhe phezu kwezandla zakhe; yafudumala inyama yomntwana.

³⁵Wasebuyela emuva, wahambahamba endlini; wakhuphuka wazelula phezu kwakhe, umntwana wathimula kasikhombisa, umntwana wavula amehlo akhe.

³⁶Wabiza uGehazi, wathi: “Biza lo mShunemi.” Yingakho emshayele ucingo. Esengena kuye, wathi: “Thatha indodana yakho.”

³⁷Ngemva kwalokho wangena wawela ezinyaweni zakhe wakhothamela phansi wathatha indodana yakhe waphuma.

³⁸U-Elisha wabuye wafika eGiligali, kwakukhona indlala ezweni; amadodana abaprofethi ayehlezi phambi kwakhe;

³⁹Omunye waphuma waya endle ukuyokha imifino, wathola umvini wasendle, wakha kuwo ithanga lakhe, wafika wawugawula ebhodweni, ngokuba babengazi.

⁴⁰Base baphakela amadoda ukuba adle. Kwathi besadla, bakhala, bathi: “O muntu kaNkulunkulu, kukhona ukufa embizeni; Futhi abakwazanga ukudla kuwo.

⁴¹Kodwa wathi: “Lethani ufulawa.” Waseyiphosa ebhodweni; wathi: “Phakela abantu, ukuze badle.” Futhi kwakungekho bubi ebhodweni.

⁴²Kwasekufika umuntu evela eBayelisa, walethela umuntu kaNkulunkulu isinkwa solibo, izinkwa zebhali ezingamatshumi amabili lezikhwebu ezigcwele emakhoba. Wathi: “Nika abantu ukuba badle.”

⁴³Inceku yakhe yasisithi: Ngiyinikele ebantwini abayikhulu? Uthi futhi: Nika abantu ukuthi badle, ngokuba usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Bayakudla, basale.

⁴⁴Wakubeka phambi kwabo, badla, bashiya njengezwi likaJehova.
