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.”
17 Amncengisisa waze waba namahloni; wayesethi: “Thumani.” Ayesethuma abantu abangamashumi ayisihlanu; bamfuna izinsuku ezintathu, kepha abamtholanga.
18 Babuyela kuye esahlezi eJeriko; wathi kubo: “Angishongo yini kini ukuthi: ‘Ningahambi,’ na?”
19 Kepha abantu bomuzi bathi ku-Elisha: “Bheka, isiza somuzi sihle, njengokuba inkosi ibona, kepha amanzi mabi, izwe liyabhulubisa.”
20 Wathi: “Ngiletheleni isitsha esisha, nibeke usawoti kuso.” Basiletha kuye.
