uYehova uyalela uEliya ukuba aye kuAhabhi
1Kwathi kwakuba mzuzu, lafika ilizwi likaYehova kuEliya ngomnyaka wesithathu, lathi, Hamba uye kubonana noAhabhi; ndiya kunisa imvula phezu komhlaba. 2Wahamba waya kubonana uEliya kuAhabhi. Kwabakho ke indlala enkulu kwaSamari. 3uAhabhi wabiza uObhadiya, intloko yendlu yakhe. (Ke uObhadiya wayemoyika kakhulu uYehova. 4Xa uIzebhele wabatshabalalisa abaprofeti bakaYehova, uObhadiya wathabatha abaprofeti abalikhulu waza wabafihla emqolombeni babe ngamaqela angamashumi amahlanu waza wabondla ngesonka namanzi.) 5Wathi uAhabhi kuObhadiya, Hamba uye emhlabeni, emithonjeni yonke yamanzi nasemilanjeni yonke; Mhlawumbi sofumana utyani bokugcina amahashe noondlebende, ukuze singalahlekelwa zizilwanyana zonke. 6Babelana ngelizwe lokuya kulo; wahamba yedwa uAhabhi ngenye indlela, wahamba yedwa uObhadiya. 7Uthe uObhadiya esendleleni, wabona uEliya emkhawulela; wambona, wawa ngobuso, wathi, UnguEliya na, nkosi yam? 8Waphendula ke yena wathi, Ndinguye; hamba uye kuthi enkosini yakho, Nanku elapha uEliya. 9Wathi, Ndenze ntoni na, ukuba umnikele umkhonzi wakho esandleni sika-Ahabhi ukuba andibulale? 10NgoYehova uThixo wakho ohleliyo, akubangakho luhlanga nabukumkani, angàthumanga ukuba akufunele ukumkani wam; bathi, Akakho; wafunga kurhulumente nakubantu, ukuba abayi kuyifumana. 11Kaloku ke uthi, Hamba uye kuthi enkosini yakho, ithi, Nanku elapha uEliya. 12Ekushiyeni kwam umoya kaYehova wonisa apho ndingaziyo; ukuba ndiye kuxelela uAhabhi, angakufumani, andibulale; kodwa mna, umkhonzi wakho, bendimoyika uYehova ukususela ebutsheni bam. 13Ayixelelwanga na inkosi yam into endayenzayo xa uIzebhele wayebulala abaprofeti bakaYehova, indlela endabafihla ngayo abaprofeti bakaYehova abalikhulu elinamashumi amahlanu emqolombeni ndaza ndabondla ngesonka namanzi? 14Kaloku ke uthi, Hamba uye kuthi enkosini yakho, uthi, Nanku elapha uEliya, aze andibulale. 15Wathi uEliya, Ehleli nje uYehova wemikhosi, endimiyo phambi kwakhe, namhlanje ndiya kuzibonakalisa kuye. 16uObhadiya waya kumkhawulela ke uAhabhi, wamxelela; wahamba uAhabhi, waya kumkhawulela uEliya. 17Uthe ke uAhabhi akumbona uEliya, wathi kuye: “Nguwe na lo umoyikisa amaSirayeli? 18Wathi, Andimoyikisanga amaSirayeli; wena nendlu kayihlo, ngenxa yokuba niyicekisile imithetho kaYehova, walandela uBhahali. 19Ke kaloku thumela uze uhlanganisele kum wonke uSirayeli eNtabeni yeKarmele, abaprofeti bakaBhahali abangamakhulu amane anamashumi amahlanu namakhulu amane abaprofeti bemithi engcwele abadla etafileni kaIzebhele. 20Emva koko uAhabhi wathumela ilizwi kubo bonke oonyana bakaSirayeli waza wabahlanganisela ndawonye abaprofeti eNtabeni yeKarmele. 21Wafika uEliya ebantwini abo bonke, wathi, Koda kube nini na nimi phakathi kweentliziyo ezimbini? ukuba uYehova nguThixo, landelani yena; Ke yena uBhahali landelani yena. Akamphendula isihlwele. 22Wathi uEliya ebantwini, Kusele mna ndodwa umprofeti kaYehova; Ke abaprofeti bakaBhahali ngamadoda angamakhulu amane anamanci mahlanu. 23Sinikeni iinkunzi ezintsha zibe mbini; zinyuleleni inkunzi entsha ibe nye, niyityatye, niyibeke phezu kweenkuni, ningafaki mlilo; nenye inkunzi entsha ndiyibeke phezu kweenkuni, ndingabasi mlilo phantsi kwayo. 24Bizani igama loothixo benu, ndithandaze ke igama likaYehova; yaye uThixo ophendula ngomlilo makabe nguThixo. Baphendula bonke abantu, bathi, Lilungisile ilizwi lakho. 25Wathi uEliya kubaprofeti bakaBhahali, Zinyuleleni inkunzi entsha ibe nye, niyilungise kuqala; ngokuba nibaninzi; nqulani igama lothixo wenu, ningafaki mlilo phantsi kwenu. 26Bayithabatha inkunzi yenkomo ababeyinikiwe, balilima, balibiza igama likaBhahali kususela kusasa kwada kwasemini enkulu, besithi: “Owu, Bhahali, siphulaphule! Kodwa akuzange kubekho lizwi, nditsho nempendulo. Kwaye baxhumela phezulu esibingelelweni esasenziwe. 27Ke kaloku, kwakufika imini enkulu, uEliya wadlala ngabo, wathi, Dumani kakhulu, ngokuba ndinguThixo; mhlawumbi uyathetha, okanye uyaleqa, okanye uyahamba, okanye mhlawumbi ulele kwaye ufuna ukuvuka. 28Badanduluka kakhulu, bazicenta ngeemela nangezikhali ngokwesiko labo, lada laphalaza igazi phezu kwabo. 29Kwahlwa, yaye baprofeta de kwafika ixesha lombingelelo wangokuhlwa, akwabakho lizwi okanye uphendulayo okanye nabani na owaphulaphulayo. 30Wathi uEliya ebantwini bonke, Sondelani kum apha. Basondela kuye bonke abantu. Waza ke wasihlaziya isibingelelo sikaYehova esasidiliziwe. 31uEliya wathabatha amatye alishumi elinamabini ngokwenani lezizukulwana zoonyana bakaYakobi, elafikayo kubo ilizwi likaYehova, lisithi, Igama lakho liya kuba nguSirayeli; 32Wakha isibingelelo ngamatye egameni likaYehova; Wenza umsele olingene iiseha ezimbini zembewu, ngeenxa zonke esibingelelweni. 33Wazilungisa iinkuni, wayityatya inkunzi entsha, wayibeka phezu kweenkuni, wathi, Zalisani iiemele zibe zine ngamanzi, niwagalele phezu kwedini elinyukayo, naphezu kweenkuni. 34Wathi, Yenzani okwesibini. Bayenza ke okwesibini. Wathi, Yenzani okwesithathu. Bayenza ke okwesithathu. 35Amanzi ahambahamba ngeenxa zonke esibingelelweni; wawuzalisa nomsele ngamanzi. 36Ngexesha lombingelelo wangokuhlwa, umprofeti uEliya wasondela waza wathi: “Yehova, Thixo ka-Abraham, kaIsake, noSirayeli, makwazeke namhla ukuba uThixo wakho usezweni lakwaSirayeli; nokuba ndingumkhonzi wakho, ukuze ndizenze zonke ezi zinto ngelizwi lakho. 37Ndiphendule, Yehova, ndiphendule, bazi aba bantu ukuba wena Yehova unguYehova, nokuba nguwe oyibuyiseleyo intliziyo yabo. 38Wehla ke umlilo kaYehova, walidla idini elinyukayo, kwaneenkuni, kwanamatye, kwanothuli, wawakhotha namanzi emhadini. 39Bakukubona oko abantu bonke, bawa ngobuso, bathi: “uYehova nguThixo! Yehova, ndinguThixo. 40Wathi uEliya kubo, Babambeni abaprofeti bakaBhahali; akukho namnye kubo osindileyo. Bababamba, uEliya wabahlisela emlanjaneni oyiKishon, wababulalela khona. 41Wathi uEliya kuAhabhi, Vuka, udle, usele; ngokuba kuvakala isandi semvula enkulu. 42Wenyuka ke uAhabhi, waya kudla, wasela. Wenyuka uEliya, waya encotsheni yeKarmele; waqubuda, wabubeka ubuso bakhe phakathi kwamadolo akhe; 43Wathi kwindodana yakwakhe, Khawunyuke, ukhangele elwandle; Yenyuka, yakhangela, yathi, Akukho nto. Wathi, Buyela umva, kasixhenxe. 44Wathi ngomhla wesixhenxe, Nanko, kuphuma intaka elwandle, engathi sisandla somntu; Wathi, Nyuka, uthi kuAhabhi, Lungisa inqwelo yakho, uhle, hleze imvula ingakuyeki. 45Lasuka laba mnyama izulu ngamafu nomoya, akwabakho mvula inkulu. Wakhwela uAhabhi, waya eYizereli. 46Sabakho ke isandla sikaYehova kuEliya; wabhinqa esinqeni sakhe waza wabaleka phambi kuka-Ahabhi de waya kufika kumnyango waseYizereli.
