1 Ke, uElisha wayethethile kwintokazi leyo, wayephilise unyana wayo, esithi, Suka uhambe, wena nendlu yakho, uphambukele apho ungáphambukela khona; ngokuba uYehova ubize indlala; kananjalo iya kulifikela ilizwe iminyaka esixhenxe.

2 Yayisukile ke intokazi leyo, yenza ngokwelizwi lomfo wakwaThixo, yahamba yona nendlu yayo, yaphambukela ezweni lamaFilisti iminyaka esixhenxe.

6 Wayibuza ukumkani intokazi leyo; yamxelela. Ukumkani wayinika umbusi othile, wathi, Yibuyisele zonke izinto zayo, nokutya konke kwentsimi yayo, kuthabathela kwimini eyemka ngayo kweli lizwe, kuzise nakweli xesha langoku.

UHazayeli uba ngukumkani wama-Aram

7 Weza uElisha eDamasko. UBhenhadade, ukumkani wakwa-Aram,* waye esifa. Kwathiwa kuye, Umfo wakwaThixo ufikile apha.

8 Wathi ukumkani lowo kuHazayeli, Phatha umnikelo ngesandla sakho, uye kumkhawulela umfo wakwaThixo lowo, ubuzise kuYehova ngaye, uthi, Ndiya kuphila na kwesi sifo?

9 UHazayeli waya kumkhawulela, waphatha umnikelo ngesandla sakhe, nento yonke elungileyo yaseDamasko, imithwalo yeenkamela ezimashumi mané. Waya, wema phambi kwakhe, wathi, Unyana wakho uBhenhadade, ukumkani wakwa-Aram, undithumele kuwe, esithi, Ndiya kuphila na kwesi sifo ndinaso?

10 Wathi uElisha kuye, Hamba uye kuthi, Ungáphila; koko uYehova undibonisile ukuba, inene, uya kufa.

11 Wamkhangela, wamthi ntsho, wada waneentloni; walila umfo wakwaThixo.

12 Wathi uHazayeli, Ililelani na inkosi yam? Wathi, Kungokuba ndibazi ububi oya kubenza koonyana bakaSirayeli; ùya kuzitshisa ngomlilo iinqaba zabo, uwabulale amadodana abo ngekrele, ubatyumze abantwana babo, ubaqangqulule abafazi babo abamithiyo.

13 Wathi uHazayeli, Úyintoni na umkhonzi wakho, eyinja nje, ukuba ade enze loo nto ingako? Wathi uElisha, UYehova undibonisile, ukuba ùya kuba ngukumkani wakwa-Aram wena.

14 Wemka kuElisha, waya enkosini yakhe. Yathi kuye, Útheni na uElisha kuwe? Wathi, Uthe kum, Inene, ùya kuphila.

15 Kwathi ngengomso wathabatha ingcawa, wayithi nkxu emanzini, wayaneka ebusweni bayo; yafa. UHazayeli waba ngukumkani esikhundleni sayo.

UYehoram noAhaziya ookumkani bakwaYuda

16 Ke kaloku ngomnyaka wesihlanu kaYehoram, unyana ka-Ahabhi ukumkani wamaSirayeli (uYehoshafati engukumkani wamaYuda), waba ngukumkani uYehoram, unyana kaYehoshafati ukumkani wamaYuda.

19 Noko uYehova ebengavumi ukulonakalisa elakwaYuda, ngenxa kaDavide umkhozi wakhe; njengoko wathethayo kuye, wathi wómnika isibane ngoonyana bakhe yonke imihla.

20 Ngemihla yakhe akreqa amaEdom, aphuma phantsi kwesandla samaYuda, azenzela ukumkani.

21 Wagqitha uYehoram, waya eTsahira, eneenqwelo zonke zokulwa. Wavuka ebusuku, wawaxabela amaEdom awayemrhawule ngeenxa zonke, nabathetheli beenqwelo zokulwa; basaba abantu, baya ezintenteni zabo.

22 Akreqa ke amaEdom, aphuma phantsi kwesandla samaYuda unanamhla. Yaza yakreqa iLibhena kwangelo xesha.

23 Ezinye izinto zikaYoram, nako konke awakwenzayo, azibhalwanga na encwadini yemicimbi yemihla yookumkani bakwaYuda?

24 UYoram walala kooyise, wangcwatyelwa kooyise emzini kaDavide, uAhaziya unyana wakhe waba ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe.

25 Ngomnyaka weshumi elinesibini kaYoram unyana ka-Ahabhi, ukumkani wamaSirayeli, waba ngukumkani uAhaziya, unyana kaYehoram ukumkani wamaYuda.

26 UAhaziya ebeminyaka imashumi mabini namibini ezelwe, ukuba ngukumkani kwakhe. Waba mnyaka mnye engukumkani eYerusalem. Igama lonina libe linguAtaliya, intombi kaOmri ukumkani wamaSirayeli.

27 Wahamba ngendlela yendlu ka-Ahabhi, wenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova ngokwendlu ka-Ahabhi; ngokuba ebengumyeni wakwa-Ahabhi.

28 Wahamba noYoram, unyana ka-Ahabhi, waya kulwa noHazayeli ukumkani wakwa-Aram eRamoti yaseGiliyadi. Ama-Aram amngxwelerha uYoram.

29 Wabuya uYoram ukumkani, waya kunyangwa eYizereli loo manxeba wawafumanayo kuma-Aram eRama, ekulweni kwakhe noHazayeli ukumkani wakwa-Aram. Wehla uAhaziya, unyana kaYehoram ukumkani wamaYuda, esiya kumbona uYoram unyana ka-Ahabhi eYizereli, ngokuba ebengxwelerhiwe.
