2 Amakhosi 6 Amadodana abaprofethi enza isicelo ku-Elisha

¹ Amadodana abaprofethi athi ku-Elisha: “Bheka, indawo esihlala kuyo nawe iminyene kakhulu kithi;

² Masiye eJordani, sizithathele khona, kube yilowo nalowo ugodo, sizenzele khona indawo yokuhlala. Wathi: Hamba!

³ Omunye wathi: “Vuma, uhambe nezinceku zakho.” Wasesithi: Ngizahamba.

⁴ Wasehamba labo. Sebefike eJordani bagawula izinkuni.

⁵ Kodwa kwathi othile esagamula ugodo, izembe lawela emanzini, wakhala wathi: “Awu, nkosi! ngoba libolekiwe.

⁶ Umuntu kaNkulunkulu wasesithi: Liwele ngaphi? Wamkhombisa indawo. Wagawula induku, wayiphonsa; insimbi yabhukuda.

⁷ Ngakho wathi: Zithathele. Futhi welula isandla sakhe, wayithatha.

⁸ Inkosi yase-Aramu yasilwa no-Israyeli, yacebisana nezinceku zayo, yathi: “Ikamu lami liyakuba kuleyo ndawo.”

⁹ Umuntu kaNkulunkulu wasethumela enkosini yakoIsrayeli ukuthi: Ziqaphele ukuthi ungadluli kuleyondawo; ngoba ama-Aramu ehlela khona.

¹⁰ Inkosi yakwa-Israyeli yayisithumela endaweni umuntu kaNkulunkulu ayemmisele yona, yamxwayisa, yamsindisa lapho, kungabi kanye nakabili.

¹¹ Inhliziyo yenkosi yase-Aramu yakhathazeka kakhulu ngale ndaba; wabiza izinceku zakhe, wathi kuzo: “Aniyikungibonisa yini ukuthi ubani kithi ongowenkosi yakwa-Israyeli na?

¹² Yathi enye yezinceku zayo: “Makungabikho noyedwa, nkosi yami, nkosi, kuphela u-Elisha umprofethi okwa-Israyeli ongatshela inkosi yakwa-Israyeli amazwi owakhuluma ekamelweni lakho.

¹³ Wathi: “Hambani nibone lapho ekhona, ukuze ngithumele ngimlande.” Wabikelwa ukuthi: “Bheka, useDothani.”

¹⁴ Ngakho wathumela lapho amahhashi, nezinqola, nebutho elikhulu lempi, bafika ebusuku bawuhaqa umuzi.

¹⁵ Inceku yomuntu kaNkulunkulu yasivuka ekuseni kakhulu, yaphuma, khangela-ke, ibutho lalihanqile umuzi, linamabhiza lezinqola. Inceku yakhe yathi kuye: “Maye, nkosi yami! sizokwenza kanjani.

¹⁶ Wathi: “Ungesabi, ngokuba abanathi baningi kunabanabo.”

¹⁷ U-Elisa wakhuleka wathi: “Nkosi, vula amehlo akhe ukuba abone.” UJehova wawavula amehlo ensizwa; wabheka, bheka, intaba yayigcwele amahhashi nezinqola zomlilo nxazonke zika-Elisha.

¹⁸ Esehlela kuye, u-Elisha wakhuleka kuJehova, wathi: “Shaya lesi sizwe ngobumpumputhe.” Futhi wabashaya ngobumpumputhe ngokwezwi lika-Elisha.

¹⁹ U-Elisha wathi kubo: “Le akusiyo indlela, nomuzi akusiwo; ngilandeleni, ngizaliletha kumuntu elimdingayo. Kodwa wabayisa eSamariya.

²⁰ Kwathi sebefikile eSamariya, uElisha wathi: Jehova, vula amehlo alababantu, ukuze babone. UJehova wavula amehlo abo, babona; bheka, babephakathi kweSamariya.

²¹ Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasisithi kuElisha ibabona: Baba, ngibahlule yini? ngizobashaya.

²² Wathi: “Ungabashayi; Uyafuna ukubabulala labo obathumbile ngenkemba yakho nangomnsalo wakho? ubeke isinkwa namanzi phambi kwabo, ukuze badle, baphuze, baye enkosini yabo.

²³ Wabalungisela ukudla okukhulu; sebedlile, baphuza, wabamukisa, baya enkosini yabo. Ngakho amaviyo ama-Aramu awabe esangena ezweni lakwa-Israyeli.

²⁴ Ngasemuva uBeni Hadadi inkosi yase-Aramu wabutha yonke impi yakhe, wenyuka wavimbezela iSamariya.

²⁵ Kwase kuba khona indlala enkulu eSamariya; bheka, balivimbezela kwaze kwathengiswa ikhanda lembongolo ngamashekeli angamashumi ayisishiyagalombili esiliva, nengxenye yesine yenkemba yamathonsi ejuba ngamashekeli ayisihlanu esiliva.

²⁶ Kwathi inkosi yakwa-Israyeli idlula phezu komduli, owesifazane wamemeza kuye, wathi: “Siza, nkosi yami, nkosi!

²⁷ Wathi: “Uma uJehova engakusizi, mina ngiyakukusiza ngani na?” esitezini noma emshinini wokukhandela?

²⁸ Inkosi yasisithi kuye: Ulani? Wathi: “Lo wesifazane wathi kimi: ‘Letha indodana yakho ukuba siyidle namuhla, futhi kusasa sizodla indodana yami.’

²⁹ Sayipheka indodana yami, sayidla; ngangomuso ngathi kuye: Letha indodana yakho ukuba siyidle; wayifihla indodana yakhe.

³⁰ Kwathi inkosi isizwile amazwi owesifazana, yaklebhula izembatho zayo; wadlula odongeni, abantu bakubona, bheka, wayenengubo yesaka phezu kwenyama yakhe ngaphakathi.

³¹ Wathi: “UNkulunkulu makenze lokhu, enezele, lapho ikhanda lika-Elisha, indodana kaShafati, limi phezu kwakhe namuhla.”

³² Kepha 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?

³³ Esakhuluma nabo, kwafika isithunywa kuye, sathi: “Bheka, lobu bubi buvela kuJehova; ngisalindeni uJehova na?
