4 ¹Adiyifo mma no mu baako yere teɛɛm frɛɛ Elisa se, “Wo somfo, me kunu, awu, na wunim sɛ wo somfo no suro yɛn Agya. Na seesei ɔkaafo no reba abɛfa me mma baanu no akɔyɛ wɔn nkoa.”

²Elisa bisaa no se, “Dɛn na metumi ayɛ ama wo? Ka kyerɛ me, dɛn na ɛwɔ wo fi?” Ɔbuaa no se, “Wo somfo nni hwee gye ngo toa baako.”

³Afei ɔkae se, “Kɔ na kɔfɛm nkuku wɔ wo afipamfo nyinaa nkyɛn wɔ abɔnten—nkuku hunu, na ɛnyɛ kakraa bi. ⁴Kɔ fie, to ɛpono mu wɔ wo ne wo mmabarima akyi, na hwie ngo no gu nkuku yi nyinaa mu. Sɛ baako biara yɛ ma a, fa si nkyɛn.”

⁵Enti ɔfii ne nkyɛn kɔe, na ɔne ne mmabarima too ɛpono mu wɔ wɔn akyi; wɔkɔɔ so de nkuku no brɛɛ no, na ɔkɔɔ so hwiee ngo no guu mu. ⁶Bere a nkuku no nyinaa yɛɛ ma no, ɔka kyerɛɛ ne babarima se, “Fa foforo bi brɛ me.” Ne babarima no buaa no se, “Ebi nka bio.” Afei ngo no gyaee.

⁷Ɔbaa no bɛkaa no kyerɛɛ yɛn Agya nipa no, na ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔ na kɔtɔn ngo no, tua wo ka, na wo ne wo mmabarima mfa nea ɛbɛka no ntena ase.”

Agya no Bɔhyɛ a Ɔhyɛɛ Sunemni no

⁸Da bi Elisa faa Sunem, faako a ɔbaa ɔdefo bi te; ɔhyɛɛ no sɛ ɔntena na onni aduan. Bere biara a ɔbɛfa hɔ no, ɔsoɛ hɔ di aduan. ⁹Ɔka kyerɛɛ ne kunu se, “Hwɛ, minim sɛ ɔbarima yi a ɔtaa fa yɛn nkyɛn no yɛ yɛn Agya nipa kronkron. ¹⁰Ma yɛnsi dan ketewa bi wɔ ɔdan no atifi mma no, na yɛmfa mpa, ɛpon, akonnwa ne kanea nto mu, na bere biara a ɔbɛba no, wanya baabi atena.”

¹¹Da bi Elisa baa hɔ, na ɔkɔɔ dan a ɛwɔ soro no mu kɔdaa hɔ. ¹²Ɔka kyerɛɛ ne somfo Gehasi se, “Frɛ Sunemni baa yi.” Gehasi frɛɛ no, na ɔbaa no bɛgyinaa Elisa anim. ¹³Elisa ka kyerɛɛ Gehasi se, “Ka kyerɛ no se: Woaha wo ho yi nyinaa ama yɛn. Dɛn na yɛntumi nyɛ mma wo? Ɛsɛ sɛ meka wo ho asɛm kyerɛ ɔhene anaa asraafo sahene no?” Ɔbaa no buaa se, “Me ankasa me nkurɔfo mu na mete.”

¹⁴Elisa bisae se, “Dɛn na yɛbɛtumi ayɛ ama no?” Gehasi kae se, “Onni ɔbabarima, na ne kunu nso abɔ akwakoraa.”

¹⁵Elisa kae se, “Frɛ no.” Enti Gehasi frɛɛ no, na ɔbaa no bɛgyinaa ɛpono ano. ¹⁶Elisa kae se, “Afe sesɛɛ bere yi, wobɛturu ɔbabarima.” Ɔbaa no kae se, “Dabi, me wura, yɛn Agya nipa, nnaadaa wo somfo.”

¹⁷Ɔbaa no nyinsɛnee, na afe a edi hɔ no saa bere no ara mu, ɔwoo ɔbabarima, sɛnea Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no no.

¹⁸Abofra no nyinii, na da bi ɔkɔɔ nʼagya nkyɛn wɔ atwafo no mu. ¹⁹Ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼagya se, “Me ti! Me ti!” Nʼagya ka kyerɛɛ ɔsomfo bi se, “Soa no kɔma ne maame.”

²⁰Ɔsomfo no soaa no kɔmaa ne maame; abofra no tenaa ne maame sre so kosii owigyinae, na afei owui. ²¹Ɔbaa no kɔɔ soro kɔtoo no yɛn Agya nipa no mpa so, too ɛpono mu wɔ nʼakyi, na ɔfirii hɔ. ²²Ɔfrɛɛ ne kunu se, “Soma ɔsomfo baako ne afurum baako ma me, na mentu mmirika nkɔ yɛn Agya nipa no nkyɛn na mensan mmra.”

²³Ne kunu bisaa no se, “Adɛn nti na wobɛkɔ ne nkyɛn ɛnnɛ? Ɛnyɛ ɔsram foforo anaa Homeda.” Ɔbaa no kae se, “Ɛho nni asɛm.”

²⁴Ɔde akatae guu afurum no so, na ɔka kyerɛɛ ne somfo se, “Ka no kɔ; mmrɛ ase mma me, gye sɛ meka kyerɛ wo.” ²⁵Ɔfirii adi kɔɔ yɛn Agya nipa no nkyɛn wɔ Karmel Bepɔ so. Bere a yɛn Agya nipa no hunuu no wɔ akyirikyiri no, ɔka kyerɛɛ ne somfo Gehasi se, “Hwɛ, Sunemni baa no ni. ²⁶Tu mmirika seesei kohyia no, na bisa no se, ‘Wo ho yɛ? Wo kunu ho yɛ? Abofra no ho yɛ?’” Ɔbaa no buae se, “Biribiara yɛ.”

²⁷Bere a ɔbaa no duu yɛn Agya nipa no nkyɛn wɔ bepɔ no so no, ɔsɔɔ ne nan mu. Gehasi bae sɛ ɔrepia no akɔ, nanso yɛn Agya nipa no kae se, “Gyaa no—ne kra wɔ awerɛhow kɛse mu, na yɛn Agya de asɛm no asie me, wanka ankyerɛ me.”

²⁸Ɔbaa no kae se, “Mebisaa me wura sɛ ɔmma me ɔbabarima anaa? Manka se, ‘Mma mʼani nna so kwa’?”

²⁹Elisa ka kyerɛɛ Gehasi se, “Hyɛ wʼatade ase wʼabɔsoɔ mu, kura me poma wɔ wo nsa mu, na kɔ. Sɛ wohyia obi a, nkyia no; sɛ obi kyia wo a, nnye no so. Fa me poma no to abofra no anim.”

³⁰Nanso abofra no maame kae se, “Sɛnea yɛn Agya te ase na wo nso wote ase yi, merennyaw wo.” Enti Elisa sɔree dii nʼakyi.

³¹Gehasi dii wɔn anim kɔe, kɔde poma no too abofra no anim, nanso nnyegyeeɛ biara amma, na mmuae biara nso amma. Enti ɔsan kohyiaa Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Abofra no nnyanee.”

³²Bere a Elisa duu ofie hɔ no, ɔhunuu sɛ abofra no awu, na ɔda ne mpa so. ³³Enti ɔkɔɔ mu, too ɛpono mu wɔ wɔn baanu akyi, na ɔbɔɔ yɛn Agya mpae. ³⁴Afei ɔforo kɔdaa abofra no so—ano ka ano, ani ka ani, nsa ka nsa. Bere a ɔtrɛw ne ho guu no so no, abofra no nipadua bɛyɛɛ hyew. ³⁵Ɔsɔree nantew dan no mu prɛko, na afei ɔsan foro trɛw ne ho guu abofra no so bio. Abofra no tiaa mprɛ ason, na obuee nʼani. ³⁶Elisa frɛɛ Gehasi se, “Frɛ Sunemni baa yi.” Gehasi frɛɛ no; ɔbaa no baa Elisa nkyɛn, na Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Fa wo babarima.”

³⁷Ɔbaa no bae, bɛhwee ne nan ase, kotow kɔsii fam, na afei ɔturuu ne babarima kɔe.

Agya no Sa Nkwan a Owu Wɔ Mu no

³⁸Elisa san kɔɔ Gilgal wɔ ɔkɔm bere mu. Bere a adiyifo mma no te nʼanim no, ɔka kyerɛɛ ne somfo se, “Fa kukuo kɛse no si gya so; noa nkwan ma adiyifo mma no.”

³⁹Wɔn mu baako kɔɔ wuram kɔtetee nhaban, na ɔhunuu wuram bobe bi. Ɔtetee wuram akatoa a ɛso hyɛɛ nʼatade mu ma, san bae, na otwitwaa guu nkwan kukuo no mu—na obiara nnim nea ɛyɛ. ⁴⁰Wɔhwiee no maa mmarima no sɛ wɔnni, nanso bere a wɔredi nkwan no no, wɔteɛɛm se, “Yɛn Agya nipa, owu wɔ kukuo no mu!” Na wɔantumi anni.

⁴¹Elisa kae se, “Momfa esiam mmra,” ɔtoo guu kukuo no mu, na ɔkae se, “Hwie gu ma nnipa no nni.” Na biribiara a ɛbɛpira obi anka kukuo no mu bio.

⁴²Ɔbarima bi fi Baal-Salisa de burodo a wɔde nnɔbae a edi kan ayɛ brɛɛ yɛn Agya nipa no—atoko burodo dunu ne aburow foforo wɔ ne kotoku mu. Elisa kae se, “Fa ma nnipa no nni.”

⁴³Ne somfo kae se, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na mede yei bɛto nnipa ɔha anim?” Elisa san kae se, “Fa ma nnipa no nni, efisɛ yɛn Agya na ose: Wobedi na ebi aka.”

⁴⁴Enti ɔde too wɔn anim; wodii na ebi kaa, sɛnea yɛn Agya kae no.
