1 Wathi uElisha, Liveni ilizwi likaYehova. Útsho uYehova ukuthi, Eli xa ngomso iseha* yomgubo ocoliweyo yoba yishekele,* neeseha zombini zerhasi zoba yishekele esangweni lakwaSamari.
2 Wamphendula umfo wakwaThixo umphathi-mkhosi, abesayama esandleni sakhe ukumkani, wathi, Yabona, khona ukuba uYehova wenzé iifestile ezulwini, ingabakho na loo nto? Wathi yena, Khangela, ùya kuyibona loo nto ngamehlo akho, ungadli kuyo.
3 Ke kaloku kwakukho amadoda amané aneqhenqa ngaphandle kwesango. Yathi enye kwenye, Sihlaléleni na apha, side sife?
4 Ukuba sithe, masingene kulo mzi, kukho indlala kuwo umzi lo, siya kufa khona; ukuba sithe sahlala apha, siya kufa. Kaloku ke masihambe, sizilahlele emkhosini wama-Aram.* Ukuba athe asisindisa, sodla ubomi; ukuba athe asibulala, hayi ke, siya kufa.
5 Asuka ngongcwalazi, aya eminqubeni yama-Aram, ada afika ekupheleni kweminquba yama-Aram. Yini le? Kusenxiweni.
