EyokuQala yooKumkani Chapter19
1 UAhabhi wamxelela uIzebhele konke awakwenzayo uEliya, nokubabulala kwakhe abaprofeti bonke ngekrele.
2 UIzebhele wathuma umthunywa kuEliya, esithi, Mabenjenje oothixo kum baqokele ukwenjenje, ukuba andithanga, mayela ngeli xa ngomso, ndiwenze umphefumlo wakho ube njengomphefumlo womnye kubo.
3 Wabona, wesuka wabambela ukusindisa umphefumlo wakhe. Waya eBher-shebha, eyeyakwaYuda, wayishiya khona indodana yakwakhe.
4 Wahamba entlango uhambo lwemini enye, waya wahlala phantsi konwele, wazicelela ukuba afe, wathi, Kwanele ngoku, Yehova; wuthabathe umphefumlo wam, ngokuba ndingalungile ngaphezu koobawo.
5 Wangqengqa ke, wozela, walala phantsi konwele. Kwabonakala khona isithunywa sezulu simshukumisa, sathi kuye, Vuka udle.
6 Wakhangela, nanko kukho ngasentlokweni yakhe iqebengwana elosiweyo lesonka, neselwa lamanzi. Wadla ke, wasela, wabuya walala.
7 Sabuya isithunywa sikaYehova okwesibini, samshukumisa, sathi, Vuka udle, ngokuba uhambo lukhulu kuwe.
8 Wavuka ke, wadla wasela, wahamba ngamandla oku kudla iimini ezimashumi mane nobusuku obumashumi mane, wada wafika entabeni kaThixo eHorebhe.
9 Waya emqolombeni apho, walala khona. Nalo ilizwi likaYehova lifika kuye. Wathi kuye, Uyintoni na apha, Eliya?
10 Wathi yena, Ndenziwe likhwele ngenxa kaYehova, uThixo wemikhosi; ngokuba bawushiyile umnqophiso wakho oonyana bakaSirayeli, izibingelelo zakho bazigungxula, abaprofeti bakho bababulala ngekrele; ndasala ndedwa; bafuna umphefumlo wam ke, ukuba bawukhuphe.
11 Wathi, Phuma, ume entabeni phambi koYehova. Nanko uYehova edlula, nomoya omkhulu onamandla uzikrazula iintaba, uziqhekeza iingxondorha phambi koYehova, engekho uYehova emoyeni lowo. Emveni komoya kwakho inyikima, akabakho uYehova enyikimeni.
12 Emveni kwenyikima kwabakho umlilo. Akabakho uYehova emlilweni; emveni komlilo kwabakho ulwandile lokuphephezela okuhle.
13 Kwathi, akuva uEliya, wabugqubuthela ubuso bakhe ngengubo yakhe enkulu, waphuma wema esangweni lomqolomba; nanko kufika kuye ilizwi, lisithi, Uyintoni na apha, Eliya?
14 Wathi, Ndenziwe likhwele ngenxa kaYehova, uThixo wemikhosi; ngokuba bawushiyile umnqophiso wakho oonyana bakaSirayeli, izibingelelo zakho bazigungxula, abaprofeti bakho bababulala ngekrele; ndisele ndedwa; bafuna umphefumlo wam ke, ukuba bawukhuphe.
15 Wathi uYehova kuye, Hamba ubuye ngendlela yakho, uye entlango yaseDamasko, uye uthambise uHazayeli, abe ngukumkani kuma-Aram;
16 uthambise uYehu, unyana kaNimshi, abe ngukumkani kumaSirayeli; uthambise uElisha, unyana kaShafati waseAbhele-mehola, abe ngumprofeti esikhundleni sakho.
17 Kothi ke, athi osinde ekreleni likaHazayeli, abulawe nguYehu; athi osinde ekreleni likaYehu, abulawe nguElisha.
18 Ke ndozishiyela kwaSirayeli isixhenxe samawaka, amadolo onke angaguqanga kuBhahali, imilomo yonke engamanganga.
19 Wemka ke apho, wafumana uElisha, unyana kaShafati, elima; kukho ishumi elinesibini leedyokhwe phambi kwakhe; yena ke elunge neyeshumi elinesibini. UEliya wegqitha kuye, waphosa ingubo yakhe enkulu kuye.
20 Wazishiya iinkabi, wabaleka emva koEliya, wathi, Makhe ndiye kwanga ubawo noma, ndikulandele ke. Wathi kuye, Hamba ubuye; ndikwenze ntoni na?
21 Wabuya ke ekumlandeleni, wazithabatha iinkabi zedyokhwe enye, wabingelela ngazo, wayipheka inyama ngeempahla zeenkabi ezo, wanika abantu, badla. Wesuka ke, walandela uEliya, wamlungiselela.
