16 Wathi: “Ungesabi, ngokuba abanathi baningi kunabanabo.”
17 U-Elisha wakhuleka, wathi: “Jehova, ake uvule amehlo ayo ukuba ibone.” UJehova wavula-ke amehlo aleyo nceku, yabona; bheka, intaba yayigcwele amahhashi nezinqola zomlilo nxazonke zakhe u-Elisha.
18 Sebehlela kuye, u-Elisha wakhuleka kuJehova, wathi: “Mawushaye lesi sizwe ngobumpumputhe.” Wasishaya ngobumpumputhe njengezwi lika-Elisha.
19 Wayesethi u-Elisha kubo: “Le akusiyo indlela, nalona akusiwo umuzi; ngilandeleni, nginiyise kumuntu enimfunayo.” Wabayisa eSamariya.
20 Kwathi sebefike eSamariya, u-Elisha wathi: “Jehova, vula amehlo alaba bantu ukuba babone.” UJehova wavula amehlo abo, babona; bheka, base bephakathi kweSamariya.
21 Inkosi yakwa-Israyeli yathi ku-Elisha, isibabonile: “Baba, ngibabulale na? Ngibabulale na?”
22 Kepha wathi: “Awuyikubabulala; ungababulala yini labo obathumbile ngenkemba yakho nangomnsalo wakho na? Beka isinkwa namanzi phambi kwabo ukuba badle, baphuze, baye enkosini yabo.”
