²Eliseu abvundza, alonga tenepa: “Ndinakucitirani ninji? Ndipangeni, muli na ninji n'nyumba mwanu?” Nkazi atawira: “Ntumiki wanu nkhabe cinthu, kusiyapo cibiya ca mafuta.”

⁷Iye abwera mbapanga munthu wa Baba wathu, iye alonga: “Ndokoni, gulisani mafuta, lipani mangawa anu, imwe na ana anu khalani na pyakusala.”

Cipikiro ca Baba kuna Nkazi wa ku Xunemi

⁸Ntsiku inango Eliseu apita mu Xunemi, kukhakhala nkazi m'bodzi wa mpfuma; iye ankakamiza toera akhale mbadya. Ndzidzi onsene ukhapita iye penepo, akhalimira toera kudya. ⁹Iye apanga mamunace: “Onani, ndisadziwa kuti mamuna uyu anapita kazinji kene cifupi na ife ndi munthu wakucena wa Baba wathu. ¹⁰Tendeni timumangire nyumba ing'ono padzulu, ikhale na cakugona, meza, mpando, na nyale, toera akhale penepo ndzidzi onsene angabwera.”

¹¹Ntsiku inango Eliseu abwera penepo, apita n'nyumba ya padzulu mbagona. ¹²Iye apanga ntumiki wace Geazi: “Cemera nkazi uyu wa ku Xunemi.” Geazi ancemera, nkazi alimira patsogolo pace. ¹³Eliseu ampanga: “Mpange nkazi: Imwe mwabva nyatwa zizinji thangwi ya ife. Ninji cinakwanisika kucitwa kuna imwe? Ndikulongere kuna mambo peno kuna nkulu wa anyankhondo?” Nkazi atawira: “Ine ndinakhala pakati pa mbumba yanga.”

¹⁴Iye abvundza: “Ninji cinakwanisika kucitwa kuna iye?” Geazi alonga: “Iye nkhabe mwana wacimuna, mamunace ndi nkhalamba.”

¹⁵Iye alonga: “Ncemere.” Na tenepo ancemera, nkazi alimira pa nsuwo. ¹⁶Iye alonga: “Caka cinabwera, n'dzidzi ninga uno, imwe munadzakhumbatira mwana wacimuna.” Nkazi alonga: “Nkhabe, mbuya wanga, munthu wa Baba wathu, lekani kunamiza ntumiki wanu.”

¹⁷Nkazi akhala na pathupi mbabala mwana wacimuna caka cidabwera, n'dzidzi ule ene, ninga mudampangira Eliseu.

¹⁸Mwana akula, ntsiku inango aenda kuna babace, kuna anyakubvuna. ¹⁹Iye apanga babace: “Nsolo wanga! Nsolo wanga!” Babace apanga ntumiki: “Nthukule, undotenge kuna maiace.”

²⁰Iye anthukula mbaenda naye kuna maiace; mwana akhala pa mabondo a mai mpaka masikati, buluka penepo afa. ²¹Iye akwira padzulu, angonesa pa cakugona ca munthu wa Baba wathu, afunga nsuwo, mbabuluka. ²²Iye acemera mamunace: “Nditumizireni ntumiki m'bodzi na bulu, toera ndithamange kuna munthu wa Baba wathu mbandibwerera.”

²³Iye abvundza: “Thangwi yanji usafuna kuenda kuna iye lero? Nee ndi ntsiku ya mwezi upswa, nee Sabudu.” Nkazi alonga: “Pyadidi.”

²⁴Iye aikha cakukhala pa bulu, apanga ntumiki wace: “Famba mwakucimbiza; leka kucedwesa thangwi ya ine, kusiyapo ndingakupanga.” ²⁵Iye abuluka mbabwera kuna munthu wa Baba wathu ku Phiri ya Karmelo. Pidamuona iye patali, munthu wa Baba wathu apanga Geazi ntumiki wace: “Ona, nkazi wa ku Xunemi ule. ²⁶Thamanga cincino, undomugumane, umbvundze: ‘Muli mwadidi? Mamuna wanu ali mwadidi? Mwana ali mwadidi?’” Nkazi atawira: “Pyonsene pyadidi.”

²⁷Pidafika iye kuna munthu wa Baba wathu paphiri, aphata miyendo yace. Geazi abwera toera kunkankha, mbwenye iye alonga: “Mulekeni—moyo wace uli na kutsukwala kukulu, Baba wathu abisa pyenepi kuna ine, nee andipanga.”

²⁸Nkazi alonga: “Kodi ine ndaphemba mwana kuna mbuya wanga? Nee ndalonga kuti: ‘Lekani kundipasa cidikhiro ca pezi’?”

²⁹Eliseu apanga Geazi: “Manga nguwo yako nciwuno mwako, kwata ndodo yanga m'manja mwako, uende. Ungagumana munthu, leka kumumwanyika; munthu angakumwanyika, leka kuntawira. Ndodo yanga uiikhe pa nkhope ya mwana.”

³⁰Mbwenye mai wa mwana alonga: “Ninga Baba wathu muli maso, imwembo muli maso, ine nee ndinakusiyani.” Na tenepo iye alamuka mbantowera.

³¹Geazi aenda patsogolo pawo, aikha ndodo pa nkhope ya mwana, mbwenye nkhabe fala nee citawiro. Iye abwerera toera kugumana Eliseu: “Mwana nee alamuka.”

³²Eliseu pidapita iye n'nyumba, aona mwana afa, agona pa cakugona cace. ³³Na tenepo iye apita n'nyumba, afunga nsuwo nduli mwa iwo awiri, mbaphembera kuna Baba wathu. ³⁴Buluka penepo iye akwira mbagona pa mwana—mulomo pa mulomo, maso pa maso, manja pa manja. Pidatambalala iye padzulu pace, manungo a mwana atoma kutentha. ³⁵Iye alamuka, afamba n'nyumba kabodzi, buluka penepo akwira mbatambalala pontho padzulu pa mwana. Mwana aethimula kanomwe mbafungula maso ace. ³⁶Eliseu acemera Geazi: “Cemera nkazi uyu wa ku Xunemi.” Geazi ancemera; nkazi abwera kuna iye, iye alonga: “Kwatani mwana wanu.”

³⁷Nkazi abwera, agwa pa miyendo pace, akotama pantsi, buluka penepo akwata mwanace mbabuluka.

³⁹M'bodzi wa iwo aenda ku munda toera kugumanya masamba, mbagumana muti wa nthengo. Akwanya mathanga a nthengo mazinji mwakudzaza nguwo yace, abwerera, mbaacheka-cheka mu mphika wa supa—nkhabe m'bodzi akhadziwa pikhali pyenepi. ⁴⁰Iwo athira supa toera amuna adye, mbwenye mukudya iwo supa, akhuwa: “Munthu wa Baba wathu, muli kufa mu mphika!” Iwo nee akwanisa kuidya.
