³Ana a aneneri a ku Beteli anatulukira Elisa, namufunsa kuti, “Kodi ukudziwa kuti lero Atate wathu adzatenga mbuye wako pamutu pako?” Iye anati, “Inde, ndikudziwa; khalani chete.”

¹¹Pamene ankayenda ndi kuyankhulana, galeta la moto ndi akavalo a moto zinawalekanitsa awiriwo, ndipo Eliya anakwera kumwamba mu kamvuluvulu. ¹²Elisa anaona, nafuwula kuti, “Atate wanga, atate wanga!

¹⁵Ana a aneneri a ku Yeriko, amene anali moyang'anizana naye, anaona, nati, “Mzimu wa Eliya wakhazikika pa Elisa.” Anakumana naye, nagwada pansi pamaso pake. ¹⁶Anati, “Taonani, pano pali antchito anu makumi asanu amphamvu. Aloleni apite kukafunafuna mbuye wanu — mwina Mzimu wa Atate wathu wamnyamula namuponya pa phiri linalake kapena m'chigwa chinachake.” Elisa anati, “Ayi, musawatume.”

¹⁹Anthu a mu mzindawo anati kwa Elisa, “Taonani, mbuye wathu, mzinda uno uli pamalo abwino, monga mukuonera, koma madzi ake ndi oipa ndipo dziko silibala.”

²⁰Iye anati, “Nditengereni mbale yatsopano, ndipo muyikemo mchere.” Anamubweretsera.

²¹Iye anapita ku kasupe, naponyamo mchere, nati, “Atate wathu akuti: Ndachiritsa madzi awa; sadzayambitsanso imfa kapena kusabala.”

²²Ndipo madzi akhala oyera kufikira lero, monga mwa mau amene Elisa ananena.

Kwera, iwe wa dazi!” ²⁴Iye anatembenuka, nawayang'ana, nawatemberera m'dzina la Atate wathu. Ndipo zimbalangondo ziwiri zinatuluka m'nkhalango, nakhadzula anyamata makumi anayi ndi awiri. ²⁵Ndipo Elisa anapita ku phiri la Karimeli, ndipo kuchokera kumeneko anabwerera ku Samariya.
