¹zvino Erisha wakataura nomukadzi uya waakanga amutsira mwanakomana wake, akati, Simuka uende, iwe neimba yako, undogara kwaunogona kugara hako; nekuti Jehovha wakaraira nzara; ichava panyika makore manomwe.

¹Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the LORD hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years.

²Zvino mukadzi akasimuka, akaita sezvaakaudzwa nomunhu waMwari, akaenda neveimba yake, akandogara panyika yavaFirisitia makore manomwe.

²And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.

³Zvino makore iwayo akati apera, mukadzi ndokudzoka kunyika yavaFirisitia; akaenda kuna mambo kundochema pamusoro peimba yake nomunda wake.

³And it came to pass at the seven years' end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land.

⁴Zvino mambo wakange achitaurirana naGehazi muranda womunhu waMwari, mambo akati, Dondirondedzerawo zvinhu zvose zvikuru, zvakaitwa naErisha.

⁴And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done.

⁵Zvino wakati achaudza mambo kuti wakamutsa wakafa, iye mukadzi wakange amutsirwa mwanakomana wake, akachema kuna mambo pamusoro peimba yake nomunda wake. Ipapo Gehazi akati, Ishe wangu mambo, ndiyeyu mukadzi, noyuyu ndiye mwanakomana wake, wakamutswa naErisha.

⁵And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.

⁶Mambo wakati abvunza mukadzi, iye akamuudza. Naizvozvo mambo wakaraira mumwe mukuru pamusoro pake, akati, Mudzosere zvose zvaiva zvake, nemichero yomunda, kubva pazuva raakabva naro panyika kusvikira zvino.

⁶And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.

⁷Zvino Erisha wakasvika Dhamasiko Bhenihadhadhi mambo weSiria wakange achirwara, akaudzwa, zvichinzi, Munhu waMwari wasvika pano.

⁷And Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God is come hither.

⁸Ipapo mambo akati kuna Hazaeri, Tora chipo muruoko rwako, undosangana nomunhu waMwari, ubvunze Jehovha naye, uti, Ndichapora pakurwara uku here?

⁸And the king said unto Hazael, Take a present in thine hand, and go, meet the man of God, and enquire of the LORD by him, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?

⁹Naizvozvo Hazaeri akandosangana naye, akaenda nechipo chezvose zvakanga zvakanaka paDhamasiko, mutoro wakaringana makamera ana makumi mana, akasvika akamira pamberi pake, akati, Mwanakomana wenyu Bhenihadhadhi mambo weSiria, wakandituma kwamuri, achiti, Ndichapora here pakurwara uku?

⁹So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden, and came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Benhadad king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?

¹⁰Erisha akati kwaari, Enda, undoti kwaari, Zvirokwazvo haangapori; asi Jehovha wakandiratidza kuti zvirokwazvo iye uchafa.

¹⁰And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover: howbeit the LORD hath showed me that he shall surely die.

¹¹Akaramba akamunananidza kusvikira anyara; munhu wa Mwari akachema.

¹¹And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept.

¹²Ipapo Hazaeri akati, Munochemeiko, ishe wangu? Akapindura, akati, nekuti ndinoziva zvakaipa zvauchaitira vana vaIsiraeri; uchapisa nhare dzavo, uchauraya majaya avo nomunondo, uchapwanya pwere dzavo, uchatumbura vakadzi vavo vane mimba.

¹²And Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel: their strong holds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash their children, and rip up their women with child.

¹³Hazaeri akati, Ko muranda wenyu chinyiko, iyo imbwa zvayo, kuti ndiite chinhu ichi chikuru chakadai? Erisha akapindura, akati, Jehovha wakandizivisa, kuti iwe uchava mambo weSiria.

¹³And Hazael said, But what, is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The LORD hath showed me that thou shalt be king over Syria.

¹⁴Ipapo akabva kuna Erisha, akaenda kuna tenzi wake; iye akati kwaari, Erisha wati kudiniko kwauri? Akapindura, akati, Wakandiudza kuti zvirokwazvo muchapora henyu.

¹⁴So he departed from Elisha, and came to his master; who said to him, What said Elisha to thee? And he answered, He told me that thou shouldest surely recover.

¹⁵Zvino fume mangwana akatora jira, akarinyika mumvura, ndokumufumbira chiso, naizvozvo akafa; Hazaeri akamutevera paushe.

¹⁵And it came to pass on the morrow, that he took a thick cloth, and dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died: and Hazael reigned in his stead.

¹⁶Zvino negore rechishanu raJoramu mwanakomana waAhabhi, mambo waIsiraeri, Jehoshafati ari mambo waJudha, Jehoramu mwanakomana waJehoshafati mambo waJudha, akatanga kubata ushe.

¹⁶And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.

¹⁷Iye akatanga kubata ushe ava namakore makumi matatu namaviri; akabata ushe paJerusaremu makore masere.

¹⁷Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

¹⁸Akafamba nenzira yamadzimambo aIsiraeri, sezvakaita imba yaAhabhi; nekuti mukunda waAhabhi waiva mukadzi wake; akaita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha.

¹⁸And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife: and he did evil in the sight of the LORD.

¹⁹Kunyange zvakadaro Jehovha wakange asingadi kuparadza Judha, nokuda kwaDhavhidhi muranda wake, nekuti wakange amupikira, kuti uchamupa mwenje wavana vake nguva dzose.

¹⁹Yet the LORD would not destroy Judah for David his servant's sake, as he promised him to give him alway a light, and to his children.

²⁰Zvino namazuva ake vaEdhomu vakamukira vaJudha, vakazvigadzira mambo.

²⁰In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.

²¹Ipapo Joramu akaenda Zairi, ane ngoro dzake dzose; akamuka usiku, akaparadza vaEdhomu vakanga vakamukomba navakuru vengoro; vanhu vakatizira kumatende avo.

²¹So Joram went over to Zair, and all the chariots with him: and he rose by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots: and the people fled into their tents.

²²Naizvozvo vaEdhomu vakamukira vaJudha, kusvikira zuva ranhasi. Ipapo Ribhina akavamukirawo nenguva iyo.

²²Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.

²³Mamwe mabasa aJoramu, nezvose zvaakaita, hazvina kunyorwa here mubhuku yaMakoronike amadzimambo aJudha?

²³And the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

²⁴Joramu akavata namadzibaba ake, akavigwa kuna madzibaba ake muguta raDhavhidhi; Ahazia mwanakomana wake akamutevera paushe.

²⁴And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.

²⁵Negore regumi namaviri raJoramu mwanakomana waAhabhi mambo walsiraeri, Ahazia mwanakomana waJehoramu mambo waJudha, akatanga kubata ushe.

²⁵In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel did Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah begin to reign.

²⁶Ahazia wakange ana makore ana makumi maviri namaviri pakutanga kwake kubata ushe; akabata ushe paJerusaremu gore rimwe. Zita ramai vake rakanga riri Ataria, mukunda waOmiri mambo welsiraeri.

²⁶Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.

²⁷Iye wakafamba nenzira yeimba yaAhabhi, akaita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha, sezvakaitwa neimba yaAhabhi; nekuti wakange ari mukwasha weimba yaAhabhi.

²⁷And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of the LORD, as did the house of Ahab: for he was the son in law of the house of Ahab.

²⁸Akaenda naJoramu mwanakomana waAhabhi kundorwa naHazaeri mambo weSiria paRamotiGiriyadhi; vaSiria vakakuvadza Joramu.

²⁸And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to the war against Hazael king of Syria in Ramothgilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.

²⁹Mambo Joramu akadzokera Jezereeri kuti arapwe mavanga ake aakatemwa navaSiria paRama, nguva yaakarwa naHazaeri mambo weSiria. Ipapo Ahazia mwanakomana waJehoramu mambo waJudha akaenda kundoona Joramu mwanakomana waAhabhi paJezereeri, nekuti wakange achirwara.

²⁹And king Joram went back to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
