5. (UYehova wawanika amaSirayeli umsindisi, aphuma phantsi kwesandla sama-Aram; bahlala oonyana bakaSirayeli ezintenteni zabo, njengokwangaphambili;
6. nakuba babengatyekanga ezonweni zendlu kaYarobheham awawonisa ngazo amaSirayeli, asuka ahamba kuzo; noAshera* wayesemi kwaSamari.)
7. Ngokuba akamshiyelanga bantu uYehowahazi, yaba ngamashumi amahlanu abamahashe, neshumi leenqwelo zokulwa, neshumi lamawaka omqikela; ngokuba wabatshabalalisa ukumkani wakwa-Aram, wabenza baba njengothuli lokunyathelwa.
8. Ezinye izinto zikaYehowahazi, nako konke awakwenzayo, nobukroti bakhe, azibhalwanga na encwadini yemicimbi yemihla yookumkani bakwaSirayeli?
9. Walala uYehowahazi kooyise, bamngcwabela kwaSamari. UYehohashe, unyana wakhe, waba ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe.
10. Ngomnyaka wamashumi omathathu anesixhenxe kaYowashe ukumkani wakwaYuda, uYehohashe unyana kaYehowahazi waba ngukumkani wamaSirayeli kwaSamari, iminyaka elishumi elinamithandathu.
11. Wenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova; akatyeka kwizono zonke zikaYarobheham unyana kaNebhati, awawonisa ngazo amaSirayeli; wasuka wahamba kuzo.
12. Ezinye izinto zikaYehohashe, nako konke awakwenzayo, nobukroti bakhe awalwa ngabo noAmatsiya ukumkani wakwaYuda, azibhalwanga na encwadini yemicimbi yemihla yookumkani bakwaSirayeli?
13. Walala uYehohashe kooyise; uYarobheham wahlala etroneni yakhe. UYehohashe wangcwatyelwa kwaSamari, kookumkani bakwaSirayeli.
14. Ke kaloku uElisha wayesifa sisifo awayeza kufa siso. Wehla uYehohashe ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, waya kuye, walila phambi kwakhe, wathi, Bawo, bawo, nqwelo yokulwa yakwaSirayeli nabamahashe bakhe!
15. UElisha wathi kuye, Thabatha isaphetha neentolo. Wasithabatha ke isaphetha neentolo.
16. Wathi kukumkani wakwaSirayeli, Sityede isaphetha ngesandla sakho. Wasityeda ngesandla sakhe; uElisha wabeka ezakhe izandla ezandleni zokumkani, wathi,
17. Vula ifestile ngasempumalanga; wayivula. Wathi uElisha, Tola; watola. Wathi, Huntshu, utolo losindiso lukaYehova! Utolo losindiso oluchase ama-Aram! Ùya kutsho ngalo kuma-Aram eAfeki ade aphele.
18. Wathi, Zithabathe iintolo; wazithabatha. Wathi kukumkani wakwaSirayeli, Tola emhlabeni; watsho izihlandlo zazithathu, wayeka.
19. Wesuka umfo wakwaThixo, wanoburhalarhume ngakuye, wathi, Unge utsho izihlandlo zazihlanu, nokuba zithandathu; ukuze ube ùya kutsho kuma-Aram ade aphele; useluya kutsho kuma-Aram izihlandlo zibe zithathu kuphela.
20. Wafa uElisha, bamngcwaba. Ke amatutu amaMowabhi ebedla ngokulingenela ilizwe, ukuthwasa komnyaka;
21. kwathi, bengcwaba indoda, babona ngamatutu evela; bayiphosa indoda leyo engcwabeni likaElisha. Ithe indoda leyo yakufika emathanjeni kaElisha, yasuka yaphila, yema ngeenyawo.
22. Ke kaloku uHazayeli, ukumkani wama-Aram, wayewaxinile amaSirayeli yonke imihla kaYehowahazi.
