Gulu Lankhondo Lamoto la Atate Liteteza Elisa

⁸Mfumu ya Aramu inkamenyana ndi Israeli. Inakambirana ndi atumiki ake, nati, “Msasa wanga udzakhala pa malo akutiakuti.”

⁹Munthu wa Atate wathu anachenjeza mfumu ya Israeli, nati, “Musadutse pa malo awa, pakuti Aaramu akutsikira kumeneko.” ¹⁰Choncho mfumu ya Israeli inatumiza ku malo amene munthu wa Atate wathu anawatchula, nayichenjeza; ndipo inadziyang'anira kumeneko—osati kamodzi kapena kawiri. ¹¹Mfumu ya Aramu inapsa mtima ndi zimenezi. Inayitana atumiki ake, nawafunsa, “Kodi simundiuza kuti ndani pakati pathu amene ali kumbali ya mfumu ya Israeli?”

¹²Mmodzi wa atumiki ake anati, “Palibe, mbuye wanga mfumu. Elisa, mneneri wa mu Israeli, amauza mfumu ya Israeli mawu amene mumayankhula m'chipinda chanu chogona.”

¹³Mfumu inati, “Pitani mukaone kumene ali, kuti nditumize anthu akamugwire.” Mawu anabwera nati, “Ali ku Dotani.”

¹⁴Iye anatumizako akavalo, magaleta, ndi gulu lalikulu la nkhondo; anafika usiku nazinga mzindawo. ¹⁵Mtumiki wa munthu wa Atate wathu anadzuka m'mamawa natuluka panja—ndipo gulu la nkhondo lokhala ndi akavalo ndi magaleta linazinga mzindawo. Mtumikiyo anati, “Kalanga ine, mbuye wanga! Tidzatani?”

¹⁶Iye anayankha nati, “Usaope, pakuti amene ali ndi ife ndi ochuluka kuposa amene ali nawo.” ¹⁷Elisa anapemphera nati, “Atate anga, chonde tsegulani maso ake kuti aone.” Ndipo Atate wathu anatsegula maso a mnyamatayo: iye anaona phiri litadzaza ndi akavalo ndi magaleta amoto kuzungulira Elisa. ¹⁸Pamene Aaramu ankatsikira kwa iye, Elisa anapemphera kwa Atate wathu, nati, “Chonde kanthani anthu awa ndi khungu.” Choncho anawakantha ndi khungu, monga mmene Elisa ananenera.

¹⁹Elisa anati, “Iyi si njira, ndipo si mzinda. Nditsateni—ndikutsogolerani kwa munthu amene mukumufuna.” Ndipo anawatsogolera ku Samariya. ²⁰Pamene analowa mu Samariya, Elisa anati, “E Atate anga, tsegulani maso a anthu awa kuti aone.” Ndipo Atate wathu anatsegula maso awo, ndipo anaona—anali mkati mwa Samariya.

²¹Ataona iwo, mfumu ya Israeli inati kwa Elisa, “Bambo anga, kodi ndiwaphe? Kodi ndiwaphe?”

²²Iye anati, “Musawaphe. Kodi mungaphe amene munawagwira ndi lupanga lanu ndi uta wanu? Apatseni buledi ndi madzi kuti adye ndi kumwa, ndipo apite kwa mbuye wawo.”

²³Iye anakonza phwando lalikulu; anadya nkumwa, ndipo anawatumiza kwa mbuye wawo. Ndipo magulu olanda a Aaramu sanabwerenso m'dziko la Israeli.

Kuzingidwa ndi Njala Zasautsa Samariya

²⁴Pambuyo pake Beni-hadadi mfumu ya Aramu anasonkhanitsa gulu lake lonse la nkhondo, nakwera, nazinga Samariya. ²⁵Panali njala yoopsa mu Samariya pa nthawi yozingidwayo, kufikira mutu wa bulu umagulidwa ndi ndalama za siliva makumi asanu ndi atatu, ndipo gawo limodzi mwa magawo anayi a khabu la ndowe za nkhunda ndi ndalama za siliva zisanu. ^a a v25 Khabu linali muyeso waung'ono wa zinthu zouma, pafupifupi lita imodzi, motero gawo limodzi mwa magawo anayi a khabu linali kachakudya kakang'ono kochititsa chisoni. ²⁶Pamene mfumu ya Israeli inkadutsa pa khoma, mkazi wina anafuwula nati, “Ndithandizeni, mbuye wanga mfumu!”

²⁷Iye anati, “Ngati Atate wathu sakuthandiza, ine ndingakupezere thandizo kuti? Pa malo opunthira tirigu? Kapena pa malo ofinyira vinyo?” ²⁸Mfumu inafunsa nati, “Chavuta nchiyani?” Iye anati, “Mkazi uyu anandiuza kuti, ‘Pereka mwana wako kuti tidye lero; mawa tidzadya wanga.’

²⁹Choncho tinaphika mwana wanga, nitamudya. Tsiku lotsatira ndinati, ‘Pereka mwana wako kuti tidye,’ koma iye anamubisa.”

³⁰Mfumu itamva mawu a mkaziyo, inang'amba mkanjo wake; ndipo pamene inkadutsa pa khoma, anthu anaona chiguduli pa thupi lake, chobisika mkati. ³¹Iye anati, “Atate wathu andilange, ndi kuwonjezerapo, ngati mutu wa Elisa mwana wa Safati udzakhalabe pa iye lero!”

³²Elisa anali atakhala m'nyumba mwake, ndipo akuluakulu anali atakhala naye pamodzi. Mfumu inatuma munthu patsogolo pake, koma wamthengayo asanafike, Elisa anati kwa akuluakuluwo, “Kodi mukuona mmene mwana wa wakupha uyu akutumizira kuti adule mutu wanga? Taonani, akadza, mutseke chitseko, muchimanirire pa iye. Kodi phokoso la mapazi a mbuye wake silili kumbuyo kwake?”

³³Akadali kuyankhula nawo, wamthengayo anatsikira kwa iye. Mfumu inati, “Tsoka ili lachokera kwa Atate wathu. Ndidikirirenso Atate wathu chifukwa chiyani?”
