1 U-Elija umThishibi owayevela ngaseThishibi eGiliyadi, wasesithi ku-Ahabi, “Njengoba uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, engimkhonzayo ephila, akuyikuba lamazolo njalo akuyikuba lezulu okweminyaka embalwa ezayo ngaphandle kokuba ngitsho.”
Gilead ram Tishbit tami Elijah ni Ahab koevah, kai ni ka bawk e Isarel BAWIPA Cathut teh a hring e patetlah hete kum dawk tadamtui bawt mahoeh kho hai rak mahoeh telah atipouh.
2 Ngakho ilizwi likaThixo lafika ku-Elija lisithi:
BAWIPA e lawk teh ahni koe a pha.
3 “Suka lapho, khangela empumalanga uyecatsha eDongeni lwaseKherithi, empumalanga kweJodani.
Kanîtholae Jordan teng kaawm e Kherith sawkca dawk kâhrawk.
4 Uzanatha amanzi avela kulesosifula, njalo sengilayile amawabayi ukuthi azabe ekulethela ukudla khonapho.”
Hahoi hote sawkca tui hah na nei vaiteh, na ka kawk hanelah vonga kâ yo ka poe toe telah atipouh.
5 Ngakho wenza lokho okwakutshiwo nguThixo. Waya eDongeni lwaseKherithi, empumalanga yeJodani, wafika wahlala khona.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA e lawk patetlah a cei teh a sak. Jordan teng kaawm e Kherith sawkca dawk ao.
6 Amawabayi amlethela ukudla, isinkwa lenyama ekuseni kwathi lantambama kwaba yisinkwa lenyama, amanzi wayenatha esifuleni.

7 Ngemva kwesikhathi amanzi atsha esifuleni ngoba kwakungelazulu elizweni.
Hathnukkhu hoi hote ram dawk kho a rak hoeh dawkvah, sawkca teh a hak.
8 Ngakho kwabuye kwafika kuye ilizwi likaThixo lisithi:
Hahoi BAWIPA e lawk hah ahni koe a pha teh,
9 “Suka khathesi uye eZarefathi yeSidoni uyehlala khona. Sengilungisile khona ukuthi umfelokazi uzakulungisela abe ekupha ukudla.”
thaw nateh, Sidon ram Zarephath lah cet nateh, hote hmuen koevah awmh. Khenhaw! na ka kawk hanelah lahmainu buet touh kâ yo ka poe toe telah atipouh.
10 Wasesiya eZarefathi. Uthe efika esangweni ledolobho, kwakukhona umfelokazi edobha incwathi. Wazibika kuye njalo ecela wathi, “Ungangilethela amanzi ngenkezo kenginathe na?”
Hatdawkvah a thaw teh, Zarephath lah a cei. Hote kho longkha koe a pha nah lahmainu buet touh teh thing a ei. Elijah ni a kaw teh, ka nei hane tui manang dawk hoi sin haw atipouh.
11 Uthe esayathatha amanzi, wambiza njalo wathi, “Ngicela ungiphathele locezu lwesinkwa.”
Lahmainu ni tui la hane a cei nah, bout a kaw teh vaiyei youn touh na kut dawk hoi sin la a telah atipouh.
12 Umfelokazi waphendula wathi, “Ngeqiniso lanjengoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho ephila, angilaso isinkwa kodwa ngilengcosana nje yefulawa engcebethwini encane lamafutha angenganani ediweni. Ngidobha incwathi lezi nje ngiya lazo ngekhaya ukuze ngiyezigoqozela engingakudla mina lendodana yami, kube yikho esizakudla andubana sife.”
Lahmainu ni BAWIPA na Cathut a hring e patetlah vaiyei teh ka tawn hoeh. Hlaam dawk vaiyei kanui e kutvang touh hoi satuium dawk satui yitca dueng doeh kaawm. Kama hoi ka capa hanlah karê vaiteh, ca hnukkhu ka due roi han toe ti hoi atu thingtaboung kahni touh atu ka ei hei telah atipouh.
13 U-Elija wathi kumfelokazi, “Ungesabi. Hamba uye ekhaya uyekwenza khonokho okutshoyo. Kodwa uqale ungiphekele iqebelengwane eliyisinkwa ngalokho olakho ube usuliletha lapha kimi, andubana uziphekele okwakho lendodana yakho.
Elijah ni, lahmainu koevah, taket hanh. Na dei e patetlah sak. Hateiteh kai hanlah buet touh hmaloe sak nateh thokhai haw. Hathnukkhu, nama hoi na capa hanelah sak.
14 Ngoba lokhu yikho uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli akutshiloyo: ‘Impuphu esengcebethwini kayiyikuphela, lamafutha asediweni kawayikuphela, kuze kufike usuku uThixo azanisa ngalo izulu elizweni?’”
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarel BAWIPA Cathut ni hettelah a dei. BAWIPA ni talai van kho a kang sak nathung, tavai hlaam a hrawng lah awm mahoeh. Satuium hai hak mahoeh ati telah a dei pouh.
15 Wasuka lapho wayakwenza njengalokho ayekutshilo u-Elija. Ngakho kwahlala kulokudla kuka-Elija lomfelokazi labendlu yakhe okwensuku zonke.
Elijah ni a dei e patetlah a sak teh, ama hoi a imthung hoi Elijah hoi hnin moikasawlah a ca awh.
16 Ngoba ifulawa eyayisengcebethwini ayiphelanga, kanti njalo lamafutha agobhoza kokuphela kazaphela njengokutsho kukaThixo ku-Elija.
Elijah ni BAWIPA e lawk a dei e patetlah tavai hlaam ahrawng lah awm hoeh, satuium hai hak hoeh.
17 Ngemva kwesikhatshana indodana yomfelokazi owayengumninindlu yagula. Wakhula umkhuhlane ngamandla, yaze yema ukuphefumula.
Hote hnonaw ao hnukkhu, im katawnkung lahmainu e capa teh a pataw. A patawnae teh a nung poung dawkvah a due.
18 Umfelokazi wathi ku-Elija, “Kanti kuyini ongizondela khona, wena muntu kaNkulunkulu? Kambe ungabe ulande ukuzangikhumbuza ngesono sami ukuze ubulale indodana yami na?”
Lahmainu ni Elijah koevah, oe Cathut e tami nang koe bang hno maw ka sak. Ka yonnae kapanueksakkung hoi ka capa thei hanelah maw na tho telah atipouh.
19 U-Elija waphendula wathi, “Nginika indodana yakho.” Wayiphatha ngezandla indodana, wakhwela layo waya endlini ephezulu ayehlala kuyo, wayilalisa embhedeni wakhe.
Ahni ni ahni koe na capa teh na poe haw atipouh. Hottelah sut a tapam e a capa hah, a la pouh teh a onae rakhan dawk a luenkhai teh a ikhun dawk a payan.
20 Wasecela ngamandla kuThixo esithi. “Yebo Thixo Nkulunkulu wami, wehlisele umonakalo lakulo umfelokazi engihlezi kuye na, ngokubangela ukufa kwendodana yakhe na?”
Oe BAWIPA ka Cathut, ka luennae hete lahmainu koe runae na sak teh a capa hah na due sak han namaw telah BAWIPA hah a kaw.
21 Wasezelula ecambalala phezu komfana kathathu ecela kuThixo, esithi, “Wena Thixo Nkulunkulu wami, ake ubuyisele impilo yalumntwana!”
Hote camo van vah vai thum touh a tabo teh, oe BAWIPA ka Cathut, hete camo e hringnae ama koe bout ban sak hanlah ka hei telah BAWIPA hah a kaw.
22 UThixo wakuzwa ukukhala kuka-Elija lakanye impilo yomfana yabuyela, wavuka waphila.
BAWIPA ni Elijah e lawk hah a thai pouh teh camo e a hringnae teh ama koe bout a ban teh, camo teh a kâhlaw.
23 U-Elija wamphakamisa umntwana wamthwalela endlini ephansi. Wamqhubela unina wasesithi kunina, “Khangela ubone, indodana yakho iyaphila!”
Elijah ni camo hah a lathueng e rakhan dawk hoi a rahim lah a thokhai teh, khenhaw! na capa teh bout a hring telah atipouh teh a manu koe a poe.
24 Umfelokazi wasesithi ku-Elija, “Khathesi sengisazi ukuthi ungumuntu kaNkulunkulu lokuthi ilizwi likaThixo elivela emlonyeni wakho liliqiniso.”
Ahni ni Elijah koevah nang teh Cathut e tami doeh. Na pahni dawk e BAWIPA e lawk teh, lawkkatang doeh tie atu ka panue toe telah atipouh.
