8 ¹Elisa aka akyerɛ ɔbaa a ɔnyanee ne ba no se, “Sɔre, wo ne wo fifo nkɔ, na kɔtena baabiara a wobɛtumi, efisɛ yɛn Agya ahyɛ sɛ ɔkɔm mma, na ɛbɛba asase yi so mfe ason.”

²Ɔbaa no sɔree, yɛɛ sɛnea yɛn Agya nipa no kae no, na ɔne ne fifo kɔtenaa Filistifo asase so mfe ason. ³Mfe ason no akyi no, ɔbaa no fii Filistia san bae, na ɔkɔɔ ɔhene no nkyɛn kɔsrɛɛ ne fie ne nʼasase ho. ⁴Ɔhene no ne Gehasi a ɔyɛ yɛn Agya nipa no somfo no rebɔ nkɔmmɔ, na ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ka nneɛma akɛse a Elisa ayɛ no nyinaa kyerɛ me.” ⁵Bere a Gehasi reka akyerɛ ɔhene no sɛnea Elisa nyanee owufo no, ɔbaa a ɔnyanee ne ba no baa ɔhene no nkyɛn bɛteɛɛ mu srɛɛ ne fie ne nʼafuw ho. Gehasi kae se, “Me wura ɔhene, ɔbaa no ni, na ne ba a Elisa nyanee no nie.”

⁶Ɔhene no bisaa ɔbaa no, na ɔbaa no kaa ho asɛm kyerɛɛ no. Enti ɔhene no yii ɔpanyin baako maa no, na ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “San fa nʼade biara ma no, ne nʼafuw no mu nnɔbae nyinaa fi da a ofii asase yi so de besi nnɛ.”

Agya No Da Hasael Nkɔso Adi

⁷Elisa baa Damasko. Wɔka kyerɛɛ Aram hene Ben-Hadad a na ɔyare no se, “Onyankopɔn nipa no aba ha.”

⁸Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Hasael se, “Fa akyɛde kɔhyia Onyankopɔn nipa no, na fa ne so bisa Awurade se: Me yare yi bɛsa anaa?”

⁹Hasael kɔhyiaa no, na ɔde akyɛde a ɛyɛ Damasko nneɛma pa nyinaa, yoma adesoa aduanan, kɔe. Ɔbɛgyinaa Elisa anim ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wo ba Aram hene Ben-Hadad asoma me sɛ memmɛbisa se, ‘Me yare yi bɛsa anaa?’”

¹⁰Elisa kae se, “Kɔka kyerɛ no se, ‘Wo yare bɛsa ampa,’ nanso yɛn Agya akyerɛ me sɛ ɔbɛwu ampa.” ¹¹Ɔhwɛɛ no denneennen kosii sɛ Hasael fɛree. Afei yɛn Agya nipa no sui.

¹²Hasael bisaa se, “Adɛn nti na me wura resu?” Elisa buaa se, “Efisɛ minim bɔne a wobɛyɛ Israelfo: wobɛhyew wɔn aban, wode afoa akum wɔn mmerante, wobɛbobɔ wɔn mmofra ase, na woapaapae wɔn mmaa a wɔyem no yafunu mu.”

¹³Hasael buaa se, “Wo somfo yɛ dɛn, ɔkraman kɛkɛ, a ɔbɛyɛ ade kɛse yi?” Elisa buaa se, “Yɛn Agya akyerɛ me sɛ wobɛyɛ Aram so hene.”

¹⁴Hasael fii Elisa nkyɛn san kɔɔ ne wura nkyɛn, na ne wura bisaa no se, “Dɛn na Elisa kae?” Hasael buaa se, “Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ wo yare bɛsa ampa.”

¹⁵Ade kyee no, Hasael faa ntama kɛse no, de bɔɔ nsu mu, de kataa ɔhene no anim, na ɔwui. Afei Hasael bedii hene wɔ nʼanan mu.

¹⁶Ahab ba Yoram a ɔyɛ Israel hene no adedi afe a ɛto so anum mu, bere a na Yehosafat yɛ Yuda hene no, Yehosafat ba Yehoram fii ase dii Yuda so hene. ¹⁷Bere a ɔbɛyɛɛ ɔhene no, na wadi mfe aduasa abien, na odii hene wɔ Yerusalem mfe awotwe. ¹⁸Ɔfaa Israel ahemfo akwan so, sɛnea Ahab fi yɛe no, efisɛ na waware Ahab babea. Na ɔyɛɛ nea ɛyɛ bɔne wɔ yɛn Agya ani so. ¹⁹Nanso yɛn Agya ampɛ sɛ ɔsɛe Yuda, ne somfo Dawid nti, sɛnea ɔhyɛɛ bɔ sɛ ɔde kanea bɛma Dawid ne ne mma daa no.

²⁰Ne bere so no, Edom tew atua tiaa Yuda tumi, na wɔsii wɔn ankasa hene. ²¹Yoram ne ne nteaseɛnam nyinaa twaa kɔɔ Sair, na ɔsɔree anadwo kokum Edomfo a wɔatwa no ho ahyia no ne nteaseɛnam so asahene no, nanso asraafo no guan kɔɔ wɔn ntamadan mu. ²²Edom atew atua atia Yuda tumi de besi nnɛ.
