UElisha usilisa uNamani

1 Njalo uNamani induna yebutho lenkosi yeSiriya wayengumuntu omkhulu phambi kwenkosi yakhe, lohloniphekayo, ngoba ngaye uJehova wayenikile iSiriya ukukhululwa. Njalo lindoda yayiliqhawe elilamandla, kodwayayingumlephero ^a. 2 Njalo amaSiriya ayephumile ngamaviyo athumba intombazana elizweni lakoIsrayeli ^b, eyayisima phambi komkaNamani. 3 Yasisithi enkosikazini yayo: Sengathi inkosi yami ingaba phambi komprofethi oseSamariya; khona ubezayiphilisa kubulephero bayo. 4 Wasengena watshela inkosi yakhe esithi: Intombazana evela elizweni lakoIsrayeli itsho ukuthi lokuthi. 5 Inkosi yeSiriya yasisithi: Suka, uhambe, ngizathumela incwadi enkosini yakoIsrayeli. Wasehamba wathatha esandleni sakhe amathalenta* esiliva alitshumi lenhlamvu zegolide ^c ezizinkulungwane eziyisithupha lezigqoko zokuntshintsha ezilitshumi ^d. 6 Waseletha incwadi enkosini yakoIsrayeli isithi: Khathesi-ke, lapho le incwadi isifikile kuwe, khangela, ngithume kuwe uNamani inceku yami ukuze umphilise kubulephero bakhe ^e. 7 Kwasekusithi inkosi yakoIsrayeli isiyibalile leyoncwadi ^f yadabula izigqoko zayo ^g yathi: NginguNkulunkulu yini ukuthi ngibulale loba ngiphilise, ukuthi lo athumele kimi ukuthi ngiphilise umuntu kubulephero bakhe ^h? Ngakho-ke, ake linanzelele libone ukuthi udinga ithuba lokumelana lami ⁱ.

8 Kwasekusithi lapho uElisha umuntu kaNkulunkulu esizwa ukuthi inkosi yakoIsrayeli idabule izigqoko zayo, wathumela enkosini esithi: Udabuleleni izigqoko zakho? Akeze kimi ukuze azi ukuthi kukhona umprofethi koIsrayeli ^j. 9 Ngakho uNamani weza lamabhiza akhe lenqola yakhe, wema emnyango wendlu kaElisha. 10 UElisha wasethuma isithunywa kuye esithi: Hamba uyegeza kasikhombisa eJordani, inyama yakho izabuyela kuwe, uhlambuluke ^k. 11 Kodwa uNamani wathukuthela, wahamba, wathi: Khangela, bengisithi uzaphuma sibili eze kimi, eme, abize ibizo leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhe, ahambahambise isandla sakhe phezu kwendawo, aphilise umlephero. 12 IAbana leFaripari imifula yeDamaseko ^l kayingcono yini kulawo wonke amanzi akoIsrayeli? Bengingegeze kiyo ngihlambuluke yini? Wasetshibilika wahamba ngolaka oluvuthayo. 13 Kodwa inceku zakhe zasondela zakhuluma laye zathi: Baba, aluba umprofethi ubekhulume lawe ulutho olukhulu, ubungayikulwenza yini? Pho, kakhulu kangakanani uba ethe kuwe: Geza uhlambuluke ^m? 14 Wasesehla, wazigxamuza eJordani kasikhombisa njengokwelizwi lomuntu kaNkulunkulu, lenyama yakhe yabuyela yafanana lenyama yomntwana omncinyane ⁿ, wahlambuluka-ke ^o.

15 Wasebuyela kumuntu kaNkulunkulu, yena lalo lonke ixuku lakhe, wafika wema phambi kwakhe, wathi: Khangela sengisazi ukuthi kakulaNkulunkulu emhlabeni wonke, ngaphandle kwakoIsrayeli ^p; khathesi-ke ake wemukele isipho ^{▼▼ isipho: Heb isibusiso.} encekwini yakho ^r. 16 Kodwa wathi: Kuphila kukaJehova engimi phambi kwakhe ^s, kangiyikuthatha lutho ^t. Wasemncenga ukuthi athathe, kodwa wala. 17 UNamani wasesithi: Uba kungenjalo, akunikwe inceku yakho umthwalo wembongolo ezimbili wenhlabathi. Ngoba inceku yakho kayisayikwenza umnikelo wokutshiswa lomhlatshelo kwabanye onkulunkulu, kodwa eNkosini. 18 Kulinto iNkosi kayithethelele inceku yakho: Nxa inkosi yami ingena endlini kaRimoni ukukhonza lapho ^u, yeyame esandleni sami, lami ngikhonze endlini kaRimoni, lapho ngikhonza endlini kaRimoni, iNkosi ake ithethelele inceku yakho kulinto ^v. 19 Wasesithi kuye: Hamba ngokuthula ^w. Wasesuka kuye ummango omfitshane.

20 Kodwa uGehazi inceku kaElisha umuntu kaNkulunkulu ^x wathi: Khangela, inkosi yami imyekele uNamani umSiriya lo ngokungemukeli esandleni sakhe lokho akulethileyo. Kuphila kukaJehova ^y, ngizagijima ngimlandele, ngithathe kuye okuthile. 21 UGehazi wasegijima wamlandela uNamani. Kwathi uNamani ebona ogijimayo emva kwakhe, wehla enqoleni ukuze amhlangabeze ^z, wathi: Kulungile yini? 22 Wasesithi: Kulungile. Inkosi yami ingithumile, isithi: Khangela, ngitsho khathesi kufikile kimi amajaha amabili evela entabeni yakoEfrayimi ^aa awamadodana abaprofethi ^ab; ake uwanike ithalenta lesiliva lezigqoko ezimbili zokuntshintsha. 23 UNamani wasesithi: Vuma, uthathe amathalenta amabili ^ac. Wasemcindezela, wabophela amathalenta amabili ^ad emigodleni emibili, lezembatho zokuntshintsha ezimbili, wakunika ababili benceku zakhe, bakuthwala phambi kwakhe ^ae. 24 Esefike oqaqeni, wakuthatha esandleni sazo, wakubeka endlini; waseyekela amadoda ahamba, asesuka. 25 Yena wasengena wema phambi kwenkosi yakhe; uElisha wasesithi kuye: Uvela ngaphi, Gehazi? Wasesithi: Inceku yakho ibingayanga le lale. 26 Wasesithi kuye: Inhliziyo yami ayihambanga yini lapho lowomuntu etshibilika enqoleni yakhe ukukuhlangabeza? Kuyisikhathi sokwemukela imali yini, lokwemukela izigqoko, lezivande zemihlwathi, lezivini, lezimvu, lezinkabi, lezinceku, lezincekukazi? 27 Ngakho ubulephero bukaNamani buzanamathela kuwe lenzalweni yakho kuze kube nininini. Wasephuma ebukhoneni bakhe engumlephero emhlophe njengeliqhwa elikhithikileyo ^af.
