10 Kepha wathi: “Ucele into elukhuni; nokho, uma ungibona lapha ngisuswa kuwe, kuyakuba njalo kuwe; kodwa uma ungangiboni, akuyikuba njalo.”
11 Kwathi beselokhu behamba bekhuluma, bheka, nanso inqola yomlilo namahhashi omlilo, kwabahlukanisa bobabili; u-Eliya wakhuphukela ezulwini ngesivunguvungu.
12 U-Elisha wakubona, wamemeza wathi: “Baba, baba, nqola ka-Israyeli nabamahhashi bakhe!” Akabe esambona futhi; wabamba izingubo zakhe, waziklebhula kabili.
13 Wacosha ingubo ka-Eliya ebiwile kuye, wabuya, wema ngasogwini lwaseJordani.
14 Wayithatha ingubo ka-Eliya ebiwile kuye, washaya amanzi, wathi: “Uphi uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Eliya na?” Esewashayile amanzi, ahlukana ngalapha nangalapha; u-Elisha wawela.
15 Esembonile amadodana abaprofethi aseJeriko ayemalungana naye, athi: “Umoya ka-Eliya uhlezi phezu kuka-Elisha.” Afika ukumhlangabeza, akhothamela phansi phambi kwakhe.
16 Athi kuye: “Bheka, kukhona phakathi kwezinceku zakho amadoda angamashumi ayisihlanu anamandla; mawahambe, afune inkosi yakho; kumbe uMoya kaJehova umkhuphulile, wamlahla entabeni ethile noma esigodini esithile.”Kepha wathi: “Ningawathumi.”
