Ɔbea no buae Gehasi se, “Yɛn nyinaa ho ye.”
27Nanso ɔbaa Onyankopɔn nipa no nkyɛn wɔ bepɔw no so no, ɔhwee ne nan ase, soo nʼanammɔn mu. Gehasi sum no, nanso Onyankopɔn nipa no kaa se, “Gyaa no. Biribi reteetee no, na Awurade nso nkyerɛɛ me dekode no.”
28Na ɔbea no kae se, “Wo ara me wura, wo na wokae se, menya ɔbabarima. Na manka ankyerɛ wo sɛ mma memfa mʼani nto so?”

42Da bi, ɔbarima bi a ɔyɛ Baal-Salisani brɛɛ Onyankopɔn nipa no atoko foforo kotoku ma, ne brodo mua aduonu. Elisa kae se, “Fa ma adiyifokuw no, na wonni.”
43Ɔsomfo no teɛɛ mu se, “Wuse dɛn? Kakra yi na yɛmfa mma nnipa ɔha yi ana?”
Nanso Elisa tii mu se, “Fa ma adiyifokuw no na wonni, na Awurade ka se, ‘Obiara bedi amee, na bi mpo bɛka akyi.’ ” 44Na ampa ara, obiara didi mee ma bi mpo kae, sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ ho bɔ no.

1Mkazi wa mmodzi mwa ana a aneneri anafuwula kwa Elisa kuti, “Mtumiki wanu, mwamuna wanga wamwalira ndipo inu mukudziwa kuti ankaopa Yehova. Koma tsopano munthu amene mwamuna wanga anakongolako zinthu zake, akubwera kudzatenga ana anga awiri aamuna kuti akhale akapolo ake.”
2Elisa anayankha mayiyo kuti, “Kodi ufuna ndikuchitire chiyani? Tandiwuza uli ndi chiyani mʼnyumba mwako?”
Mayiyo anayankha kuti, “Mdzakazi wanu alibe kanthu kalikonse koma timafuta pangʼono chabe.”
3Elisa anati, “Pita kabwereke mitsuko yonse yopanda kanthu kwa anzako. Usakabwereke mitsuko yochepa. 4Kenaka ukalowe mʼnyumba mwako ndi kudzitsekera iwe ndi ana ako. Mukakatero mukakhuthulire mafuta mʼmitsuko yonseyo, ndipo mtsuko uliwonse ukadzaza muzikawuyika pambali.”
5Mayi uja anachoka kwa Elisa nakadzitsekera ndi ana ake. Anthu anabweretsa mitsuko kwa iye ndipo ankathiramo mafuta. 6Mitsuko yonse itadzaza, mayiyo anawuza mwana wake kuti, “Bweretsa mtsuko wina.”
Koma iye anayankha kuti, “Mitsuko yonse yatha.” Pamenepo mafuta analeka kutuluka.
7Mayiyo anapita nakamuwuza munthu wa Mulungu amene anamuyankha kuti, “Pita, kagulitse mafutawo ndipo ukabweze ngongole ija. Ndalama zotsalazo zikakhale zako ndi ana ako.”
Elisa Aukitsa Mwana wa Mayi wa ku Sunemu
8Tsiku lina Elisa anapita ku Sunemu. Kumeneko kunkakhala mayi wina wachuma amene anawumiriza Elisa kuti adye chakudya. Choncho nthawi iliyonse imene Elisa amadutsa kumeneko, ankayima ndi kudya. 9Mayiyo anawuza mwamuna wake kuti, “Taonani, ine ndikudziwa kuti munthu amene amadutsa pano nthawi zambiriyu ndi munthu woyera wa Mulungu. 10Tiyeni timumangire kachipinda kakangʼono pa denga la nyumbayi ndi kumuyikiramo bedi ndi tebulo, mpando ndi nyale. Akabwera kuno azikhala mʼmenemo.”
11Tsiku lina pamene Elisa anafika ku Sunemu, iye anakalowa mʼchipinda chake chija nagona mʼmenemo. 12Iye anati kwa mtumiki wake Gehazi, “Muyitane Msunemuyu.” Ndipo anapita kukamuyitana mayiyo, ndipo anabwera nayima pamaso pa Elisa. 13Elisa anati kwa Gehazi, “Muwuze mayiyo kuti, ‘Wavutika potichitira zonsezi. Nanga tsopano ifeyo tikuchitire chiyani? Kodi ukufuna kuti tikadziwitse mfumu kapena mtsogoleri wa ankhondo zimene watichitirazi?’ ”
Mayiyo anayankha kuti, “Ine ndimakhala mwamtendere pakati pa abale anga.”
14Elisa anafunsanso Gehazi kuti, “Kodi tingamuchitire chiyani?”
Gehazi anati, “Ndithu, mayiyu alibe mwana ndipo mwamuna wake ndi wokalamba.”
15Pamenepo Elisa anati, “Muyitane.” Choncho Gehazi anamuyitana, ndipo iye anabwera nayima pa khomo. 16Elisa anati kwa mayiyo, “Nthawi ngati yomwe ino chaka chamawa, udzakhala utanyamula mwana wamwamuna mʼmanja mwako.”
Mayiyo anatsutsa zimenezi nanena kuti, “Ayi mbuye wanga. Inu munthu wa Mulungu, musanamize mdzakazi wanu!”
17Koma mayi uja anakhala woyembekezera, ndipo chaka chotsatiracho, nthawi ngati yomweyo anabereka mwana wamwamuna monga momwe Elisa anamuwuzira.
18Mwana uja anakula, ndipo tsiku lina anapita kwa abambo ake amene anali ndi anthu odula tirigu. 19Mwanayo anafuwula kwa abambo ake kuti, “Mayo! Mutu wanga ine! Mayo! Mutu wanga ine!”
Abambo akewo anawuza wantchito wake kuti, “Munyamule ndi kukamupereka kwa amayi ake.” 20Wantchito uja atamunyamula ndi kumupereka kwa amayi ake. Mwanayo anakhala pa miyendo ya amayi akeyo mpaka masana, ndipo pambuyo pake anamwalira. 21Mayiyo ananyamula mwanayo nakamugoneka pa bedi la munthu wa Mulungu uja. Kenaka anatseka chitseko iye nʼkuchokapo.
22Iye anayitanitsa mwamuna wake namuwuza kuti, “Tumizireni wantchito mmodzi ndi bulu mmodzi kuti ndipite mofulumira kwa munthu wa Mulungu nʼkubwererako.”
23Mwamuna wakeyo anafunsa kuti, “Chifukwa chiyani ukupita kwa iyeyo lero? Lero si tsiku la Chikondwerero cha Mwezi Watsopano kapena tsiku la Sabata.”
Mayiyo anayankha kuti, “Zonse zili bwino.”
24Mayiyo anamangirira chishalo pa bulu ndipo anawuza wantchito wake kuti, “Yendetsa bulu mofulumira. Usachepetse liwiro pokhapokha nditakuwuza.” 25Choncho ananyamuka nakafika kwa munthu wa Mulungu uja ku Phiri la Karimeli.
Munthu wa Mulungu ataona mayiyo patali, anawuza mtumiki wake Gehazi kuti, “Taona! Msunemu uyo! 26Thamanga msanga ukakumane naye ndipo ukamufunse kuti, ‘Kodi muli bwino? Kodi mwamuna wanu ali bwino? Kodi mwana wanu ali bwino?’ ”
Mayiyo anayankha kuti, “Zonse zili bwino.”
27Atafika kwa munthu wa Mulunguyo pa phiripo, mayiyo anagwira mapazi a Elisa. Gehazi anabwera kuti amukankhe, koma munthu wa Mulungu anati, “Musiye! Iyeyu ali pa mavuto aakulu, koma Yehova wandibisira zimenezi ndipo sanandiwuze chifukwa chake.”
28Tsono mayiyo anati, “Mbuye wanga, kodi ine ndinakupemphani mwana? Kodi sindinakuwuzeni kuti musandinamize?”
29Elisa anawuza Gehazi kuti, “Manga lamba mʼchiwuno mwako, tenga ndodo yanga mʼdzanja lako ndipo thamanga. Ngati ukumana ndi munthu wina aliyense, usamupatse moni, ndipo ngati wina akupatsa moni, usayankhe. Ukagoneke ndodo yanga pa nkhope ya mwanayo.”
30Koma mayi wake wa mwana uja anati, “Pali Yehova wamoyo ndiponso pali inu nomwe, ineyo sindidzakusiyani.” Choncho Elisa ananyamuka natsatira mayiyo.
31Gehazi anatsogola nakagoneka ndodoyo pa nkhope ya mwanayo, koma sipanamveke mawu kapena kugwedezeka kuonetsa kuti ali moyo. Choncho Gehazi anabwerera kukakumana ndi Elisa ndipo anamuwuza kuti, “Mwanayo sanatsitsimuke.”
32Ndipo Elisa atafika ku nyumbako, taonani, mwanayo anali wakufa atamugoneka pa bedi lake. 33Elisa analowa mʼnyumbamo natseka chitseko. Anali awiri okha mʼchipindamo ndipo iye anapemphera kwa Yehova. 34Kenaka anakwera pa bedi ndi kumugonera mwanayo, pakamwa pake panakhudzana ndi pakamwa pa mwanayo, maso ake anakhudzana ndi maso a mwanayo, ndipo manja ake anakhudzana ndi manja a mwanayo. Pamene ankadzitambalitsa yekha pa mwanayo, thupi la mwanayo linayamba kufunda. 35Elisa anatembenuka nayenda uku ndi uku kamodzi mʼchipindamo ndipo kenaka anakweranso pa bedi nagoneranso mwanayo. Mwanayo anayetsemula kasanu ndi kawiri ndipo anatsekula maso ake.
36Elisa anayitana Gehazi ndipo anati, “Muyitane Msunemuyo.” Ndipo anaterodi. Mayiyo atabwera, Elisa anati, “Tenga mwana wako.” 37Mayiyo analowa, nagwada pa mapazi a Elisa, naweramitsa mutu wake pansi. Kenaka ananyamula mwana wake natuluka.
Imfa mu Mʼphika
38Elisa anabwerera ku Giligala ndipo ku dera limenelo kunali njala. Elisa akukumana ndi ana a aneneri, anati kwa mtumiki wake, “Ika mʼphika waukulu pa moto ndipo uwaphikire chakudya anthu awa.”
39Mmodzi mwa ana aneneriwo anapita kuthengo kukafuna ndiwo ndipo anakapeza mpesa wakuthengo. Iye anathyolako zipatso zake nadzaza nsalu yake. Atabwerera, anazidula zipatsozo naziyika mu mʼphika, ngakhale kuti panalibe amene ankazidziwa. 40Anawapakulira anthu chakudyacho, koma atayamba kudya, anthuwo anafuwula kuti, “Inu munthu wa Mulungu muli imfa mu mʼphikamu!” Ndipo sakanatha kudya chakudyacho.
41Elisa anati, “Bweretsani ufa.” Iye anathira ufa mu mʼphikamo ndipo anati, “Perekani chakudyachi kwa anthu kuti adye.” Ndipo mu mʼphikamo munalibenso zoopsa.

43Mtumiki wake anafunsa kuti, “Kodi ndikachigawe motani chakudyachi kwa anthu 100?”
Koma Elisa anamuwuzanso kuti, “Apatse anthu adye. Pakuti izi ndi zimene Yehova akunena kuti, ‘Iwo adzadya chakudyachi ndipo china chidzatsalako.’ ” 44Tsono iye anachipereka kwa anthuwo ndipo anadya china nʼkutsalako, molingana ndi mawu a Yehova.
