1 Kva 19
1 Hagi Ahapu'ma nonte'ma unehanatino'a, maka Elaija'ma hia zantamina Jesebelina nesamino, Bali kasnampa vahetmima kazinteti'ma maka zamahehna'ma hia kenena asami'ne.
U-Ahabi wasetshela uJezebheli ngakho konke okwakwenziwe ngu-Elija kanye lokuthi wababulala njani abaphrofethi ngenkemba.
2 Anagema Jezebeli'a nentahino'a, amanage huno Elaijantega kea atregeno vu'ne. Ama knaretima agafa huno vuno oki'ma ama ana knare'ma vanige'na, kasnampa vahetmima zamahana hanankna hu'na nagrama kahe ofrisugeno'a, anumzantmimo'za nagrira nahe frigahaze.
Ngalokho uJezebheli wathumela isithunywa ku-Elija ukuthi siyekuthi, “Onkulunkulu kabangihlanekele ngokwengezelelweyo nxa ngingakubulalanga kuze kube kusasa, njengoba usubulele abaphrofethi.”
3 Higeno anankema Elaija'a nentahino'a, koro nehuno otino freno Juda mopafi Berseba vuno, anante eri'za ne'a ome netreno,
U-Elija wasesesaba, wasuka wabaleka, wayafika eBherishebha yakoJuda, wasetshiya khona inceku yakhe.
4 agrake ka'ma kokampi mago zage knamofo agu'afi vuno, brumue nehaza zafa agafafi umani'neno amanage huno nunamuna hu'ne, Ra Anumzamoka nagehezagna vahera nagra omani'noanki, ha'anki nasimura erige'na fri'neno.
Yena wahamba okwelanga elilodwa engena enkangala. Wathola khona isihlahla, wahlala ngaphansi kwaso emthunzini, wakhulekela ukuthi ngabe uyafa wathi, “Kwanele, Thixo, susa ukuphila kwami ngoba angingcono kulabokhokho.”
5 Anage huno nehuno ana zafa agafafi mase'negeno ankeromo'a eazamo eme azeri o'netino amanage hu'ne, otinka ne'zana no, huno hu'ne.
Wasecambalala elala ngaphansi kwesihlahla wajunywa yibuthongo. Khonokho ingilosi yamthinta yathi kuye, “Vuka udle.”
6 Anage higeno Elaija'a otino asenirega keana amuho hu'nea have agofetu kre'naza kekine, tintafena me'negeno erino neteno mase'ne.
Wathalaza, lakanye wabona ngemakhanda nantiyana iqebelengwane lisatshisa emalahleni elaliphekwe kuwo, kanye lenkezo eyayilamanzi okunatha. Wadla njalo wanatha, waphinda walala.
7 Ana'ma higeno'a ete mago'ane ana ankeromo'a eazamo eme azeri otino amanage hu'ne, Afete kana vugahananki otinka ne'zana no, huno hu'ne.
Ingilosi kaThixo yaphinda yabuya okwesibili yamthinta, yathi kuye, “Vuka udle, ngoba uhambo lude luzakukhulela.”
8 Anage higeno otino ana kekine tinena erino netegeno, ana ne'zamo azeri hankavetinegeno 40'a zagene haninemofo agu'afi kana vuno, Anumzamofo agonare Horepia uhanati'ne.
Ngakho wavuka, wadla njalo wehlisa ngamanzi. Eseqiniswe yilokhokudla wahamba insuku ezingamatshumi amane lobusuku obungamatshumi amane waze wayafika eHorebhi intaba kaNkulunkulu.
9 Ana huteno mago have kampi umaseno mani'negeno Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Elaijaga amafina na'a eme nehane? huno antahige'geno,
Eselapho wangena ebhalwini walala. Ngakho ilizwi likaThixo lafika kuye lisithi, “Kanti wenzani khonapha, Elija?”
10 Elaija'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, Ra Anumzana hihamu'ane Anumzamoka, nagra hanaveti'na kamage ante'noe. Hianagi Israeli vahe'mo'za huhagerafi huvempa keka'a ruhanentagi'za, Kresramana vu itaka'a tagana vazitre'naze. Ana nehu'za maka kasnampa vaheka'a kazinteti zamahe vagarage'na nagrake mani'noge'za nahe fri'naku nehakaze.
Yena waphendula wathi, “Bengikutshisekela kakhulu, wena Thixo Nkulunkulu Somandla. Abako-Israyeli basephule isivumelwano sakho, badiliza ama-alithare akho, babulala abaphrofethi bakho ngenkemba. Yimi ngedwa engiseleyo, njalo khathesi bayangizingela bafuna ukungibulala.”
11 Anagema higeno'a Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno asami'ne, Atiraminka agonare navuga ome otio, higeno Elaija'a ome otigeno Ra Anumzamo'a agatereno enevigeno, hankave zaho'mo'a ana have agona erifrage mafrege hu'neanagi, ana zahopina Ra Anumzamo'a omani'ne! Hagi ana hutegeno tusi imi eri'neanagi, ana imimpina Ra Anumzamo'a omani'ne.
UThixo wathi kuye, “Hamba uyekuma phezu kwentaba phambi kukaThixo ngoba uThixo uzadlula khona.” Kwaba lomoya owawuvunguza ngamandla udabula izintaba uqhekeza lamadwala phambi kukaThixo, kodwa uThixo wayengekho kulesosiphepho. Kwedlula isiphepho kweza ukuzamazama komhlaba kodwa uThixo wayengekho kulokhokuzamazama.
12 Hagi imima eritegeno'a, teve anefa'mo hagnahagna huno evu'neanagi, ana teve nefapina Ra Anumzamo'a omani'ne. Hagi teve anefa'ma evutegeno'a akoheno osi agerupinti sumi huno hiankna ageru ru'ne.
Kwedlula ukuzamazama komhlaba kwaqhamuka umlilo, kodwa uThixo wayengekho kulowomlilo. Ngemva komlilo kwezwakala ilizwi elipholileyo linyenyeza.
13 Hagi Elaijama ana ageru'ma nentahino'a, nakre ku'anu avugosa refineteno, atiramino ana havegamofo kafante oti'ne. Hagi anama uotigeno'a mago ageru'mo'a amanage huno hu'ne. Elaijaga amafina na'a eme nehane?
U-Elija uthe elizwa, wadonsa isembatho sakhe wamboza ubuso bakhe wasuka wayakuma entubeni yobhalu. Khonokho ilizwi lathi kuye, “Wenzani khonapha, Elija?”
14 Higeno Elaija'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, Nagra hanaveti'na Ra Anumzana Monafi sondia vahetamimofo Anumzamoka kamage ante'noe. Hianagi Israeli vahe'mo'za huhagerafi huvempa keka'a ruhanentagiza, Kresramana vu itaka'a tagana vazitre'naze. Ana nehu'za maka kasnampa vaheka'a kazinteti zamahe vagarazage'na nagrake mani'noge'za nahe fri'naku nehakaze.
Yena waphendula wathi, “Bengikutshisekela kakhulu wena Thixo Nkulunkulu Somandla. Abako-Israyeli basephule isivumelwano sakho, badiliza ama-alithare akho, babulala abaphrofethi bakho ngenkemba. Yimi ngedwa engiseleyo, njalo khathesi bayangizingela bafuna ukungibulala lami.”
15 Anagema higeno'a amanage huno Ra Anumzamo'a asami'ne, E'nana kantega ete rukrahe hunka Damaskasi ka'ma kokama me'nea kantega vunka, anante'ma uhanati'nunka, Hazaelina anumpi masavena ome tagintenka Siria vahe kini azeri otio.
UThixo wathi kuye, “Buyela ngayonale indlela oze ngayo, uye enkangala yaseDamaseko. Ekufikeni kwakho khonale, ugcobe uHazayeli abe yinkosi yase-Aramu.
16 Hagi Nimsi nemofo Jehuna masavena anumpi ome tagintenka Israeli vahe kinia azeri onetinka, Abel-meholati kumateti ne' Safati nemofo Elisana anumpi masavena ome tagintenka kasnampa nera kagri noma erino eri'zama erisia nera azeri otigahane.
Njalo, ugcobe loJehu indodana kaNimishi abe yinkosi yako-Israyeli, ubusugcoba u-Elisha indodana kaShafathi wase-Abheli-Mehola athathe isikhundla sakho sobuphrofethi.
17 Hagi Hazaelinku'ma koro hu'za fresaza vahera Jehu zamahe frigahie. Hagi Jehunkuma koro hu'za freza esaza vahera Elisa zamahe frigahie.
UJehu uzabulala bonke abazaphepha kuleyonkemba kaHazayeli, njalo u-Elisha uzabulala labo abazasila kuleyonkemba kaJehu.
18 Hianagi 7tauseni'a Israeli vahetmima Bali havi anumzante'ma zamare'na re'za mono huntege, antako huntege'ma osu'naza vahetmina ofri amne mani'naze.
Kodwa ngizaphephisa abako-Israyeli abazinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa abangazange bakhothamele uBhali njalo abandebe zabo azizange zimange.”
19 Higeno ananke'ma nentahino'a, Elaija'a viazamo Safati nemofo Elisa'a bulimakao afutamina 12fu'a kevu tro huteno, agra 12fuma hiankevufi mani'neno hozafina hoza e'nerigeno ome keno eri fore hu'ne. Hagi ana ne'ma Elaija'a ome negeno'a, viazamo nakreku'a Elisa afumpi ome netreno vu'ne.
Ngakho u-Elija wasuka lapho wathola u-Elisha indodana kaShafathi. Wamfica elima labanye ngenkabi emajogweni alitshumi lambili, yena etshayela ezejogwe letshumi lambili. U-Elija wasondela kuye wamembesa ngesembatho sakhe.
20 Hagi ana'ma higeno'a, Elisa'a ana bulimakao afutmima'a netreno, Elaijana avaririno nevuno amanage ome huno asami'ne, Natrege'na ete vu'na nenrerane nenfanena ome hufru huzmantete'na ete e'na eme kavaririneno huno higeno, Elaija'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, Nagra i'o huogantegahuanki knareki vunka anara ome huo.
U-Elisha watshiya inkabi zakhe walandela u-Elija. Wasesithi, “Ngivumela ngiyevalelisa ubaba lomama, ngibuye ngizehamba lawe.” U-Elija wamphendula wathi, “Buyela, kanti ngenzeni kuwe?”
21 Anagema higeno'a Elisa'a ete vuno ana bulimakao afutmima'a ome aheno zamafumpima kare namarema nehaza zafarami ante'neana apapu huno ana bulimakao afutamina kreno ana kumapi vahetami ome zami, eme zami hige'za nenazageno, agra netreno vuno Elaija eri'za vahe umani'ne.
Ngakho u-Elisha wehlukana laye wabuyela emuva. Wathatha inkabi zejogwe lakhe wazihlaba. Wabasa umlilo ngezinto lezo ayelima ngazo ukuze ose inyama yazo wayinika abantu bayidla. Waselandela u-Elija waba yinceku yakhe.
