nasemva kwesingcangcazelo somhlaba bekuko umlilo: ebengeko emlilweni UYEHOVA: nasemva kwomlilo bekuko ilizwi elizolileyo elincinane.

Kodwa wahamba yena entlango ihambo yamini nye, weza wahlala ngapantsi kwomti weroteme; waza wazicelela ukuba makafe, wati: Kwanele; kaloku, YEHOVA! susa ubomi bam; ngokuba ndingalungile mna pezu kwobawo bam.

Wati ke: Puma, ume entabeni pambi KWOYEHOVA. Kekaloku bona ke, UYEHOVA wadlula, wati umoya omkulu onamandla wazirazula intaba, waqekeza namawa, pambi KWOYEHOVA; ebengeko emoyeni UYEHOVA: nasemva kwomoya bekuko isingcangcazelo somhlaba; ebengeko esingcangcazelweni somhlaba UYEHOVA

Kwaza kwati, akuva lona u‐Elija, wagqubutela ubuso bake ngengubo yake, wapuma, wema emnyango womqolomba. Kekaloku bona ke, kweza kuye ilizwi, elati: Wenza nto nina apa, Elija?

Wada wafika kona emqolombeni, walalisa apo; kekaloku bona ke, ilizwi LIKAYEHOVA leza kuye, lati kuye: Wenza nto nina apa, Elija?

Waza wavuka, wadla wasela nokusela, wahamba ngamandla okokutya, imini zamashumi mane nobusuku bamashumi mane, ukuya entabeni KATIXO, e‐Horebe.

Wati akuba ebete butu, elele ubutongo ngapantsi kwawo umti weroteme, bona ke, yandula yampata ingelosi, yati kuye. Vuka, utye.

Yabuya ke ingelosi KAYEHOVA ngokwesibini, yampata, yati: Vuka, utye; ngokuba ihambo inkulu kuwe.

Wayesiti: Bendinekwele kakulu ngenxa KAYEHOVA, UTIXO wemikosi; ngokuba usapo luka‐Sirayeli lushiyile ucebano lwako, izibingelo zako luzicitile, nabaprofite bako lubabulele ngeṙele; sendisele mna ndedwa, nobomi bam luyabufuna, ukuba lubususe.

Waza wakangela, kekaloku nasi ngasentlokweni yake isonkana sojiwe pezu kwamatye ashushu, negubu lamanzi: watya ke, wasela nokusela, wabuya walala pantsi.

Wandula u‐Jezebele watuma isigidimi ku‐Elija, esiti: Mabenje njalo otixo kum, balekele ukwenje njalo, ukuba andenzi ubomi bako njengobomi bomnye kubo malunga nelixesha langomso!

Noko ndisalisile kwa‐Sirayeli amawaka asixe̔nxe, onke amadolo angaguqileyo ku‐Bali, nayo yonke imilomo engamanganga.

Wasuka wemka apo, wamfumana u‐Elisha unyana ka‐Shafate, obepulusha ngezibini zenkabi zilishumi linesibini pambi kwake, waye yena eneseshumi linesibini: waza u‐Elija wamdlula, waposa ingubo yake pezu kwake.

Waza wabuya kuye, watabata isibini senkabi, wazibinga, wapeka inyama yazo ngempahla zenkabi, wanika ebantwini, baza badla. Wandula wesuka, wamlandela u‐Elija, wamkonza.

Waseleshiya inkabi, wabaleka emva kwo‐Elija, wati: Makendange ubawo noma, ndandule ukulandela wena. Wayesiti kuye: Hamba, buya; ngokuba kuyinto nina endiyenzileyo kuwe?
