8 U-Eliya wathatha ingubo yakhe, wayisonga, washaya amanzi, ahlukana ngalapha nangalapha, bawela bobabili emhlabathini owomileyo.
9 Kwathi sebewelile, u-Eliya wathi ku-Elisha: “Cela engiyakukwenzela khona ngingakasuswa kuwe.”Wathi u-Elisha: “Makuphindwe kabili umoya wakho phezu kwami.”
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.
