2 AmaKhosi 4:1-7

Kwakhala ku-Elisha owesifazane othile wabafazi bamadodana abaprofethi, wathi: “Inceku yakho, indoda yami, ifile; wena uyazi ukuthi inceku yakho yayimesaba uJehova; sekufike umtshelekisi ukuzithathela abafana bami ababili babe yizigqila.” U-Elisha wathi kuye: “Ngikwenzele ntoni na? Ngitshele. Unantoni endlini?” Wathi: “Incekukazi yakho ayinalutho endlini ngaphandle komfuma wamafutha.” Wayesethi: “Hamba utsheleke izitsha ngaphandle kubo bonke abakhelwane bakho, izitsha ezingenalutho, zingabi yingcosana. Wongena, uzivalele ngesivalo, wena namadodana akho, uthele ezitheni zonke lezo, ubeke ezigcweleyo eceleni.” Wasuka kuye, wazivalela yena namadodana akhe ngesivalo; wona aletha kuye, yena wathela. Kwathi izitsha sezigcwele, wathi endodaneni yakhe: “Sondeza kimi nesinye isitsha.” Kepha yathi kuye: “Akusekho sitsha.” Amafutha anquma-ke. Wayeseya ukumtshela lowo muntu kaNkulunkulu. Wathi yena: “Hamba uthengise ngamafutha, ukhokhe isikwenetu sakho, uzondle wena namadodana akho ngaseleyo.”
