¹Haddaba waxaa Eliishaa u qaylisay naag u dhaxday qoonkii nebiyada ahaa midkood, oo waxay ku tidhi, Ninkaygii oo addoonkaaga ahaa waa dhintay, oo adna waad og tahay inuu addoonkaagu Rabbiga ka cabsan jiray. Oo nin deyn nagu lahaa ayaa u yimid inuu labadayda carruurta ah iga qaato oo addoommo ka dhigto.

²Erisha akati kwaari, Ndingakubatsira seiko? Ndiudze. Uneiko mumba mako? Iye akati, Murandakadzi wenyu haane chinhu mumba, asi hari ina mafuta.

²Markaasaa Eliishaa wuxuu iyadii ku yidhi, Bal ii sheeg, maxaan kuu sameeyaa? Oo maxaad guriga ku haysataa? Iyana waxay tidhi, Anigoo addoontaada ah guriga waxba iima yaalliin dheri saliid ah mooyaane.

³Ipapo akati, Enda undokwereta kuna vose vaugere navo midziyo isina chiro; usakwereta mishoma.

³Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Tag, oo weelal weyddiiso derisyadaada oo dhan, oo ha ahaadeen weelal madhan, wax yarna ha soo weyddiisan.

⁴Zvino upinde, iwe navana vako, upfige mukova, udire mumidziyo iyo yose, uchigadzika yose yazara kurutivi.

⁴Oo waa inaad gurigaaga gashaa oo adiga iyo wiilashaadu albaabka isku soo xidha, oo markaas weelashaas saliidda ku shub, oo intii buuxsanta oo dhan gees u dhig.

⁵Naizvozvo akabva kwaari, akapfiga mukova, iye navana vake vari mukati; ivo vakamusvitsa midziyo, akadira.

⁵Sidaas daraaddeed isagii way ka tagtay, oo iyadii iyo wiilasheedii albaabkii bay isku soo xidheen, oo iyaguna weelashii bay u keenkeeneen, iyana way ku shubtay.

⁶Midziyo yakati yazara, akati kumwanakomana wake, Ndipezve mumwe mudziyo. Iye akati kwaari, Hapachina mumwe mudziyo; mafuta akagumawo.

⁶Oo markii weelashii ay wada buuxsameen ayay wiilkeedii ku tidhi, Weliba weel kale ii keen. Markaasuu ku yidhi, Weel dambe ma hadhin. Dabadeedna saliiddii way joogsatay.

⁷Ipapo akandoudza munhu waMwari, iye akati, Chienda undotengesa mafuta, uripe chikwereti chako, urarame nezvakasara, iwe navanakomana vako.

⁷Markaasay soo kacday, oo waxay u soo sheegtay ninkii Ilaah, oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Tag oo saliidda iibi, oo deynkaagii ku bixi, oo adiga iyo wiilashaaduna inta hadhay ku noolaada.

⁸Zvino mumwe musi Erisha akapfuura napaShunemi, pakanga pagere mukadzi wakakurumbira, iye akamugombedzera kudya zvokudya. Zvino nguva dzose kana achipfuura napo, waitsaukirako kuzodya zvokudya.

⁸Oo waxaa maalin dhacday in Eliishaa Shuuneem tegey, oo halkaasna waxaa joogtay naag weyn, oo iyana waxay isagii yeelsiisay inuu wax cuno. Oo haddana mar alla markuu soo ag maray ayuu xaggeeda u leexday inuu wax ka cuno.

⁹Akati kumurume wake, Tarirai zvino, ndinoona kuti uyu murume, unosipfuura nokwatiri, munhu mutsvene waMwari.

⁹Markaasay ninkeedii ku tidhi, Bal eeg, waxaan gartay in ninkan oo had iyo goor ina soo ag maraa uu yahay nin Ilaah oo quduus ah.

¹⁰Ngativake kamuri duku parusvingo, timuisiremo mubhedha, netafura, nechigaro, nechigadziko chomwenje; zvino kana achinge achiuya kwatiri, agotsaukiramo.

¹⁰Haddaba waan ku baryayaaye aynu isaga derbiga uga samayno qol yar, oo halkaas u dhigno sariir, iyo miis, iyo kursi, iyo laambad; oo waxay ahaan doontaa markuu inoo yimaadoba inuu halkaas ku leexdo.

¹¹Zvino mumwe musi akasvikapo, akatsaukira kukamuri iyo duku, akandovatamo.

¹¹Oo waxaa maalin dhacday inuu halkaas yimid oo intuu qolkii ku leexday ayuu halkaas jiifsaday.

¹²Akati kuna Gehazi muranda wake, Dana mukadzi uyu muShunemi. Wakati amudana, iye akamira pamberi pake.

¹²Oo markaasuu midiidinkiisii Geexasii ku yidhi, U yeedh naagtan reer Shuuneem. Oo markuu u yeedhay ayay hortiisii soo istaagtay.

¹³Akati kwaari, Chitaura kwaari zvino, uti Tarirai, makatichengeta zvikuru kwazvo, zvino tingakuitireiwo? Munoda kuti tikureverei kuna mambo, kana kumukuru wehondo here? Iye akapindura, akati, Ndigere hangu zvakanaka pakati pavanhu vangu.

¹³Markaasuu ku yidhi isagii, Hadda waxaad iyada ku tidhaahdaa, Adigu aad baad noo xannaanaysay, haddaba maxaa laguu sameeyaa? Ma doonaysaa in laguula hadlo boqorka ama sirkaalka ciidanka? Markaasay ku jawaabtay, Anigu waxaan dhex degganahay dadkaygii.

¹⁴Akati, Zvino tingamuitireiko? Gehazi akapindura, akati, Zvirokwazvo haana mwanakomana, nomurume wake wakwegura.

¹⁴Oo isna wuxuu yidhi, Haddaba maxaa loo sameeyaa iyada? Kolkaasaa Geexasii wuxuu ku jawaabay, Runtii iyadu wiil ma leh, oo ninkeeduna waa oday.

¹⁵Iye akati, Mudane. Wakati amudana, iye akamira pamukova.

¹⁵Markaasuu ku yidhi, Bal iyada u yeedh. Oo markuu u yeedhay ayay albaabka soo istaagtay.

¹⁶Akati, Nenguva ino kana gore rapera, uchafungatira mwana. Iye akati, Kwete, ishe wangu, munhu waMwari, regai kureva nhema kumurandakadzi wenyu.

¹⁶Oo isna wuxuu yidhi, Markii wakhtigu soo wareego xilligan oo kale wiil baad laabta ku qabsan doontaa, oo iyana waxay tidhi, Maya sayidkaygiiyow, oo adigu nin yahow Ilaah anoo addoontaada ah been ha ii sheegin.

¹⁷Mukadzi akava nemimba, akapona mwanakomana nenguva iyo pakupera kwegore, sezvakanga zvataura Erisha kwaari.

¹⁷Oo naagtiina way uuraysatay, oo wiil bay dhashay markii wakhtigii soo wareegay, oo waxay noqotay sidii Eliishaa iyada ku yidhi.

¹⁸Zvino mwana wakati akura, akaenda mumwe musi kuna baba vake kuvakohwi.

¹⁸Oo wiilkii markuu koray waxaa maalin dhacay inuu aabbihiis u tegey meeshii kuwa beeraha gooyaa ay joogeen.

¹⁹Akati kuna baba vake, Musoro wangu, musoro wangu! Ivo vakati kumuranda, Mubereke uende naye kuna mai vake.

¹⁹Oo wuxuu aabbihiis ku yidhi, Madaxa madaxa! Oo isna wuxuu addoonkiisii ku yidhi, War qaad, oo hooyadiis u gee.

²⁰Iye akamutora, akamuisa kuna mai vake, akagara pamabvi avo kusvikira masikati makuru, akafa.

²⁰Oo markuu soo qaaday oo hooyadiis u keenay, tan iyo duhurkii ayuu jilbaha hooyadiis ku fadhiyey, dabadeedna wuu dhintay.

²¹Ivo vakakwira, vakandomuradzika pamubhedha womunhu waMwari, vakamupfigiramo, vakabuda.

²¹Oo iyana kor bay u baxday, oo waxay isagii ku jiifisay sariirtii ninkii Ilaah, oo intay albaabkii ku xidhay ayay ka baxday.

²²Akadana murume wake, akati, Nditumirewo mumwe muranda nembongoro imwe, ndimhanyire kumunhu waMwari, ndigodzokazve.

²²Markaasay ninkeedii u dhawaaqday oo ku tidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye iigu cid dir midiidinnadii midkood iyo dameerihii midkood, si aan ninkii Ilaah ugu ordo oo aan haddana u soo noqdo.

²³Iye akati, Unoda kuendereiko kwaari nhasi? Hakuzi kugara komwedzi, kana sabata. Iye akati, Hazvine mhosva.

²³Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Naa maxaad maanta ugu tegaysaa? Maanta bil cusub ma aha, sabtina ma aha. Oo iyana waxay tidhi, War way hagaagi doontaa.

²⁴Zvino akaisa chigaro pambongoro, akati kumuranda wake, Uifambise, ipfuurire mberi; rega kundinonotsa pakufamba, asi kana ndikakuudza.

²⁴Markaasay dameer kooraysatay, oo midiidinkeedii waxay ku tidhi, Igu kaxee oo hore u soco, oo anigoo kugu amra mooyaane ha i raajin.

²⁵Naizvozvo akaenda, akasvika kumunhu waMwari pagomo reKarimeri. Munhu waMwari wakati achimuona achiri kure, akati kuna Gehazi muranda wake, Tarira hoyo mukadzi muShunemi.

²⁵Saas daraaddeed way tagtay, oo waxay ninkii Ilaah ugu timid Buur Karmel. Oo markii ninkii Ilaah iyadii meel fog ka arkay ayuu midiidinkii Geexasii ku yidhi, Bal eeg waxaa soo socota tii reer Shuuneem.

²⁶Mhanya hako zvino undosangana naye, uti kwaari, Makafara here? Murume wenyu wakafara here? Nomwana wakafara here? Iye akapindura, akati, Haiwa, takafara hedu!

²⁶Haddaba waan ku baryayaaye ku orod oo ka hor tag, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Ma nabad qabtaa? Ninkaagiina ma nabad qabaa? Wiilkaagiina ma nabad qabaa? Oo iyana waxay ugu jawaabtay, Waa nabad.

²⁷Zvino wakati asvika kumunhu waMwari pagomo, akabata tsoka dzake. Gehazi akaswedera achida kumusundira kure; asi munhu waMwari akati, Murege hake, nekuti mweya wake une shungu mukati make. Asi Jehovha wakandivanzira izvozvo, haana kundiudza.

²⁷Oo markay ninkii Ilaah buurta ugu timid ayay cagihiisii qabsatay. Oo Geexasii baa u soo dhowaaday inuu ka durkiyo, laakiinse ninkii Ilaah baa yidhi, War iska daa, waayo, nafteedu way welwelsan tahay, oo Rabbiguna taas wuu iga qariyey, iimana sheegin.

²⁸Ipapo iye akati, Ko ndakakumbira mwanakomana kuna ishe wangu here? Ko handina kuti, regai kundinyengedzera here?

²⁸Markaasay tidhi, War ma Rabbigaan wiil ka doonay? Sow kuma aan odhan, War hay khiyaanayn?

²⁹Ipapo akati kuna Gehazi, Chizvisunga chiuno, uende; kana ukasangana nomunhu, rega kumukwazisa; kana mumwe akakukwazisa, usamudavira; ugondoisa tsvimbo yangu pamusoro pechiso chomwana.

²⁹Oo isna wuxuu Geexasii ku yidhi, War guntiga isku giiji, oo ushayda gacanta ku qabso oo tag, oo haddaad qof la kulantid, ha salaamin, oo haddii qof ku salaamana, ha u jawaabin, oo ushayda waxaad saartaa wiilka wejigiisa.

³⁰Zvino mai vomwana vakati, NaJehovha mupenyu, uye nomweya wenyu mupenyu, handingakusiiyi. Akasimuka, akamutevera.

³⁰Oo wiilkii hooyadiis waxay tidhi, Waxaan ku dhaartay Rabbiga noloshiisa iyo adiga naftaadee inaanan kaa tagayn. Markaasuu kacay oo raacay.

³¹Gehazi akavatungamirira, akandoisa tsvimbo pachiso chomwana, asi kwakanga kusino kutaura kana kunzwa. Naizvozvo akadzoka kuzosangana naye, akati kwaari, Mwana haana kupepuka.

³¹Oo Geexasiina wuu ka sii hor maray, oo ushii saaray wiilka wejigiisii, laakiinse cod iyo wax maqlid toona laguma arag. Sidaas daraaddeed wuu noqday oo intuu ka hor yimid ayuu u warramay, oo ku yidhi, Yarkii ma uu toosin.

³²Erisha wakati apinda mumba akawana mwana akafa, akaradzikwa pamubhedha wake.

³²Oo Eliishaa markuu gurigii soo galay ayuu arkay in yarku meyd yahay, oo uu sariirtiisii ku jiifo.

³³Naizvozvo akapinda, akapfiga mukova, iye ari mukati nomwana, ivo vaviri, akanyengetera kuna Jehovha.

³³Sidaas daraaddeed guduhuu galay oo intuu labadoodiiba albaabkii ku xidhay ayuu Rabbiga baryay.

³⁴Akakwira, akatsivama pamusoro pomwana, akaisa muromo wake pamuromo wake, nameso ake pameso ake, namaoko ake pamaoko ake; akatsivama pamusoro pake, nyama yomwana ikadziya.

³⁴Markaasuu intuu kacay ayuu yarkii ku kor jiifsaday, oo afkuu afka u saaray, indhihiina indhuhuu u saaray, gacmihiina gacmuhuu u saaray; oo korkiisuu isku fidiyey; markaasaa yarka jidhkiisii soo diiray.

³⁵Zvino akadzoka, akafamba-famba mumba kamwe, akakwirazve, akatsivama pamusoro pake; mwana akahotsira kanomwe, mwana ndokusvinudza meso ake.

³⁵Markaasuu noqday oo guriga dhexdiisii mar ayuu hore iyo dib ugu socday, oo intuu tegey ayuu haddana yarkii isku fidiyey, markaasaa yarkii toddoba goor hindhisay oo indhaha kala qaaday.

³⁶Ipapo akadana Gehazi, akati, Dana mukadzi muShunemi. Akamudana. Iye wakati apinda kwaari, Erisha akati, Simudza mwanakomana wako.

³⁶Markaasuu Geexasii u yeedhay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Tii reer Shuuneem u yeedh. Oo isna wuu u soo yeedhay. Oo markay gudaha ugu soo gashay ayuu ku yidhi, Wiilkaaga qaado.

³⁷Zvino iye akapinda, akazviwisira patsoka dzake, akakotamira pasi; akasimudza mwanakomana wake, akabuda.

³⁷Markaasay gudaha soo gashay, oo cagihiisii ku dhacday, oo dhulkay ku sujuudday, markaasay wiilkeedii qaadatay oo dibadda u baxday.

³⁸Zvino Erisha akaendazve Girigari, nzara yakanga iripo panyika; vanakomana vavaporofita vakanga vagere pamberi pake, akati kumuranda wake, Gadza hari huru, ubikire vanakomana vavaporofita zvokudya.

³⁸Oo Eliishaa haddana wuxuu yimid Gilgaal; oo wakhtigaasna dalku abaar buu ahaa, oo isagana waxaa hortiisa fadhiyey qoonkii nebiyada ahaa; oo isna midiidinkiisii ayuu ku yidhi, Dheriga weyn dabka saar oo qoonka nebiyada ah maraq u kari.

³⁹Zvino mumwe akaenda kusango kundotanha miriwo, akawana muti unotanda, akatanhapo magaka, akazadza nguvo yake nawo, akasvika akaachekerera muhari yezvokudya, nekuti vakanga vasingaazivi.

⁴⁰Zvino vakapakurira vanhu kuti vadye. Ivo. vakati vodya zvokudya, vakadanidzira, vakati, Munhu waMwari, rufu ruri muhari. Vakasagona kuzvidya.

⁴⁰Sidaas daraaddeed raggii bay u soo gureen inay cunaan aawadeed. Oo intay maraqii cunayeen ayay qayliyeen, oo yidhaahdeen, War nin yahow Ilaah, dheriga geeri baa ku jirta! Maraqiina way cuni kari waayeen.

⁴¹Asi iye akati, Uyai noupfu. Akahudira muhari, akati, Chipakurai henyu, vanhu vadye. Zvino kwakanga kusine chinhu chakaipa muhari.

⁴¹Laakiinse isagii wuxuu yidhi, War bal jidhiidh ii keena. Oo kolkay u keeneen ayuu dherigii ku dhex riday, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War maraqa dadka u shub ha cuneene. Oo dherigiina waxba waxyeello laguma arag.
