Wathi, Uthi: Amandla Okukhuleka Izwi LikaNkulunkuluIsampula

Akushilo Ngokugula Ngengqondo Nomzimba

U-Eliya akazange asishaye indiva isomiso. AmaKhosi okuQala 18 asitshela ukuthi lesi sithwathwa sesomiso sase sithathe isikhathi eside kangangokuthi kwase kudlule iminyaka emithathu kunezimpawu zemvula enhle. Ukudla bekuyindlala. Cishe amanzi ayengcolile. Indlala yayinzima. Inkosi u-Ahabi yaze yafuna “zonke iziphethu nezigodi zezwe ukuze ibone ukuthi singathola yini utshani obanele ukuze sisindise okungenani amahhashi ami neminyuzi.” U-Eliya wayeqinisile kulokhu, kodwa wayeyinceku kaNkulunkulu, egcwele ukholo futhi eyaziwa ngalolo kholo.

Ake sifunde kancane 1 AmaKhosi 18 ku-New Living Translation:

U-Eliya wayesethi ku-Ahabi: “Hamba uyothenga ukudla nokuphuzwayo, ngoba ngizwa isiphepho esikhulu esifikayo.” U-Eliya wakhuphukela esiqongweni seNtaba iKarmeli, wakhuleka. Wayesethi encekwini yakhe: “Hamba ubheke ngaselwandle.” Inceku yahamba yabheka, yabe isibuyela ku-Eliya yathi: “Angibonanga lutho.” U-Eliya wamtshela izikhathi eziyisikhombisa ukuba ahambe ayobheka. Ekugcineni ngokwesikhombisa inceku yakhe yathi kuye: “Ngibone ifu elincane elingangesandla somuntu liphuma olwandle.” Khona-ke u-Eliya wamemeza wathi: “Sheshisa ku-Ahabi, umtshele ukuthi, ‘Khwela enqoleni yakho, ubuyele ekhaya. Uma ungasheshi, imvula izokuvimba!’” Ngokushesha isibhakabhaka saba mnyama ngamafu. Umoya onamandla ulethe isiphepho esinamandla.

Ngaphambi kokuba abone ubufakazi futhi ngaphambi kokuthi aze athandaze, u-Eliya waprofetha izithembiso. Wathi, “Angizwa nje ukufafaza, kodwa isiphepho esikhulu semvula!” Ngisho nalapho lalingekho ifu esibhakabhakeni, u-Eliya akazange angabaze. Nokwesibili wabheka imvula, okwesithathu, okwesine, okwesihlanu, okwesithupha… lutho. U-Eliya akazange adikibale noma avume. Futhi ngaleso sikhathi sesikhombisa, wabona okuthile okungaphezu kokukholwa nje. Wabona okuthile ngamehlo akhe. Akabonanga amafu okuduma ekhula kude. Akazange ezwe ngisho namaconsi emvula esanda kwehla ebusweni bakhe. Wabona ifu elincane, elingangesandla, phezu komkhathizwe. Impendulo.

Ngaphambi kokuthi ubone ubufakazi bokuphulukiswa, ngaphambi kokuthi uthandaze, profetha izithembiso emavesini anamuhla. Akhulume. Uma ukukholwa kuza ngokuzwa, khuluma nawe kaninginingi ngezithembiso Zakhe eziyigugu. Ungalahli ithemba. Qhubeka ubheke. Noma ungaboni lutho. Qhubeka nobheka. Ngisho nangokwesibili khuleka umemezela, okwesithathu, okwesine, okwesihlanu, okwesithupha... ungadikibali noma uyeke. Futhi uma ubona leyonhlansi yethemba, memeza izindumiso zaKhe. Intando yakhe iyaphilisa! Isifiso sakhe siyinjabulo! Izwi laKhe lingelakho. Manje, ake sikusho.
