1uYoram, unyana ka-Ahabhi, waba ngukumkani wakwaSirayeli kwaSamari, ngomnyaka weshumi elinesithoba nowesibini kaYehoshafati ukumkani wakwaYuda; waba neminyaka elishumi elinamibini engukumkani.

2Wenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova; kodwa akaba njengoyise nanjengonina, ngenxa enokuba wawususayo umfanekiso kaBhahali, awawenzayo uyise.

3Wanamathela ezonweni zikaYarobheham unyana kaNebhati, awawonisa ngazo amaSirayeli; akatyeka kuyo.

4uMesha, ukumkani wakwaMowabhi, ubengumalusi, wabuyisela kukumkani wakwaSirayeli ikhulu lamawaka eemvana, nekhulu lamawaka eenkunzi zeegusha ezinoboya.

5Wathi akufa uAhabhi, wakreqa ukumkani wakwaMowabhi kukumkani wakwaSirayeli.

6Ngelo xesha ukumkani uYoram waphuma eSamariya waza wawabala onke amaSirayeli.

7Waphuma, wathumela kuYehoshafati ukumkani wakwaYuda, esithi, Undijikile ukumkani wakwaMowabhi; Wohamba nam siye kulwa namaMowabhi? Wathi, Ndiya kunyuka ndiye, ndinjengani; abantu bam banjengabantu bakho, amahashe am anjengamahashe akho.

8Wathi, Sonyuka ngayiphi na indlela? Wathi, Yindlela yentlango yakwaEdom.

9Wahamba ke ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, nokumkani wakwaYuda, nokumkani wakwaEdom, bahamba uhambo olude lweentsuku ezisixhenxe;

10Wathi ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, Yoo! uYehova wabahlanganisa abo kumkani bathathu ukuze abanikele esandleni sikaMowabhi.

11Wathi uYehoshafati, Akukho mprofeti kaYehova na apha, esinokubuza ngaye kuYehova? Waphendula omnye wakubakhonzi bokumkani wakwaSirayeli, wathi, Lo nguElisha, unyana kaShafati, obegalela amanzi esandleni sikaEliya.

12Wathi uYehoshafati, Ilizwi likaYehova linaye. Wehla ke ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, noYehoshafati, nokumkani wakwaEdom, baya kuye.

13Wathi ke uElisha kukumkani wakwaSirayeli, Yintoni na enam nawe? Hambani niye kubaprofeti bakayihlo, nakubaprofeti bakanyoko. Wathi ukumkani wakwaSirayeli kuye, Hayi, ngokuba uYehova ubabizele aba kumkani bathathu, ukuba abanikele esandleni sikaMowabhi.

14Wathi uElisha, Ehleli nje uYehova wemikhosi, endimi phambi kwakhe, inene, ukuba bendingambonanga uYehoshafati, ukumkani wakwaYuda, ndingakubhekanga khona, ndingakubonanga.

15Ndiziseleni ke ngoko umkhonzi. Ke kaloku, esamemeza umkhonzi, isandla seNkosi saba phezu kwakhe.

16Wathi, Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Yizaliseni le ntili ngemingxuma;

17Ngokuba wathi uYehova, Aniyi kubona moya namvula; kodwa loo ntlambo iya kuzala amanzi, nisele nina, neenkomo zenu, neenkomo zenu.

18Le nto incinane emehlweni kaYehova: uya kuwanikela amaMowabhi esandleni senu.

19Noyithimba yonke imizi enqatyisiweyo, nemizi yonke enyuliweyo, niyigawule yonke imithi emihle, niyivingce yonke imithombo yamanzi, niyitshabalalise ngamatye ummandla welizwe elihle ngamatye.

20Kwathi ngomso, lakuziswa idini elinyukayo, kwafika amanzi endleleni eya kwaEdom, lazala ilizwe ngamanzi.

21Eva ke onke amaMowabhi ukuba benyukile ookumkani, besiza kulwa nawo, abutha bonke abaxhobileyo, bema emdeni.

22Bavuka kusasa, ilanga labengezela emanzini, awabona amaMowabhi amanzi ebomvu njengegazi.

23Bathi ke bona: “Ligazi eli! phanga ngoku, Mowabhi.

24Bafika ke emkhosini wakwaSirayeli, bagqiba oonyana bakaSirayeli ukuwaxabela amaMowabhi, asaba phambi kwawo; kodwa bemka, bawaxabela amaMowabhi ezweni lawo.

25Bayidiliza imizi; bawavala onke amaqula, bagawula yonke imithi enencasa kodwa izilingi ziyajikeleza kwaye ziphumelele.

26Wathi akubona ukumkani wakwaMowabhi ukuba imfazwe inzima kuye, wathabatha amadoda angamakhulu asixhenxe arhola ikrele kunye naye, ukuze atyhobozelele kukumkani wakwaEdom;

27Wathabatha unyana wakhe wamazibulo, owaba ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe, wenza idini elinyukayo phezu kodonga. Wavutha kunene ngumsindo uSirayeli, amshiya, abuyela ezweni lawo.
