1 UElija umTishibi wabahlali beGileyadi wasesithi kuAhabi: Kuphila kukaJehova, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, engimi phambi kwakhe, kakuyikuba khona lamazolo lezulu kuliminyaka, kuphela njengokwelizwi lami.
Azɔ la Eliya, Tisbitɔ si tso Tisbi le Gilead la va gblɔ na Ahab be, “Meta Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe agbe, ame si mesubɔna la be zãmu loo alo tsi madza le ƒe siwo gbɔna la me o negbe le nye nya nu ko.”
2 Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kuye lisithi:
Yehowa gblɔ na Eliya bena,
3 Suka lapha, wena uphendukele empumalanga, uzicatshise esifuleni iKerithi, esiphambi kweJordani.
“Yi ɣedzeƒe eye nàbe ɖe Kerit tɔʋu la to, le afi si tɔʋu sia de nu Yɔdan tɔsisi la me le la ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo.
4 Kuzakuthi-ke unathe esifuleni; sengilaye amawabayi ukuthi akondle khona.
No tsi le tɔʋu la me eye nàɖu nu si akpaviãwo atsɔ vɛ na wò elabena mana be woatsɔ nuɖuɖu vɛ na wo.”
5 Wasehamba wenza njengokwelizwi leNkosi, ngoba wayahlala esifuleni iKerithi esiphambi kweJordani.
Ale Eliya wɔ nu si Yehowa ɖo nɛ eye wònɔ tɔʋu la to.
6 Amawabayi asemlethela isinkwa lenyama ekuseni, lesinkwa lenyama ntambama; wanatha esifuleni.
Akpaviãwo tsɔa abolo kple lã vanɛ nɛ gbe sia gbe, ŋdi kple fiẽ eye wònoa tsi le tɔʋu la me.
7 Kwasekusithi emva kwesikhathi isifula satsha, ngoba kwakungelazulu elizweni.
Ke le ɣeyiɣi aɖe megbe la, tɔʋu la mie elabena tsi megadza ɖe anyigba la dzi kpɔ o.
8 Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kuye lisithi:
Yehowa ƒe nya va na Eliya bena,
9 Sukuma uye eZarefathi engeyeSidoni, uhlale khona. Khangela, ngilayile owesifazana ongumfelokazi khona ukuthi akondle.
“Yi Sidon ƒe Zarefat enumake eye nànɔ afi ma. Megblɔ na ahosi aɖe le afi ma be wòana nuɖuɖu wò.”
10 Wasukuma-ke waya eZarefathi. Lapho efika esangweni lomuzi, khangela, owesifazana ongumfelokazi wayelapho etheza inkuni; wasembiza wathi: Ake ungikhele amanzi amalutshwana ngenkezo ukuze nginathe.
Ale wòyi ɖe Zarefat. Esi wòva ɖo Zarefat ƒe agbo nu la, ahosi aɖe nɔ afi ma, nɔ nake fɔm. Eyɔe eye wòbiae be, “Àku tsi vi aɖe ɖe kplu me vɛ nam manoa?”
11 Kwathi esahamba ukuyawathatha, wambiza wathi: Ake ungiphathele ucezu lwesinkwa esandleni sakho.
Esi ahosi la trɔ yina be yeaku tsi la vɛ nɛ la, Eliya yɔe, gblɔ nɛ be, “Nyo dɔ me nàtsɔ abolo aɖe hã kpe ɖe tsi la ŋu vɛ nam.”
12 Wasesithi: Kuphila kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, kangilaqebelengwana, kuphela impuphu egcwala isandla embizeni lamafutha ayingcosana esiphisweni; khangela-ke ngitheza izinkuni ezimbili ukuze ngingene ngizilungisele khona mina lendodana yami, ukuze sidle sife.
Ahosi la ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Meta Yehowa, wò Mawu la ƒe agbe be, abolo aɖeke mele asinye o negbe wɔ asiʋlo ɖeka si le wɔze me kple ami sue aɖe si le amigoe me ko. Mele nake ʋɛ siawo fɔm atsɔ ayi aƒe mee ne maɖa nu nye kple vinye ŋutsu míaɖu eye míaku.”
13 UElija wasesithi kuye: Ungesabi; hamba wenze njengokwelizwi lakho, kodwa ngenzela kuqala iqebelengwana elincinyane ngakho, ulilethe lapha kimi, ngemva kwalokho-ke wenzele wena lendodana yakho.
Eliya gblɔ nɛ be, “Mègavɔ̃ o; yi aƒe me eye nàwɔ abe ale si nègblɔ ene gake gbã la, ƒo abolo sue aɖe kple wɔ la ƒe ɖe eye nàtsɔe vɛ nam. Emegbe nàɖa nane na wò ŋutɔ kple viwò ŋutsu la
14 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakoIsrayeli: Imbiza yempuphu kayiyikuphela, lesiphiso samafutha kasiyikuswela, kuze kube lusuku iNkosi ezanisa ngalo izulu ebusweni bomhlaba.
elabena ale Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye si, ‘Wɔ mavɔ le wò wɔze me o eye ami hã mavɔ le wò amigoe me o va se ɖe esime Yehowa nana tsi nadza ɖe anyigba dzi.’”
15 Wasehamba wenza njengokwelizwi likaElija. Njalo yena kanye laye lendlu yakhe badla okwensuku ezinengi.
Ale ahosi la wɔ nu si Eliya gblɔ nɛ eye Eliya kple eya kple via siaa kpɔa nuɖuɖu tso wɔ la kple ami la me ŋkeke ale si wohiã wo.
16 Imbiza yempuphu kayiphelanga lesiphiso samafutha kasiswelanga, njengokwelizwi leNkosi eyalikhuluma ngesandla sikaElija.
Elabena wɔ mevɔ le wɔze la me eye ami hã mevɔ le amigoe la me o le nya si Yehowa gblɔ to Eliya dzi la nu.
17 Kwasekusithi emva kwalezizinto, indodana yowesifazana, inkosikazi yendlu, yagula; lomkhuhlane wayo wawulamandla kangangokuthi akwaze kwasala umphefumulo kuyo.
Le ɣeyiɣi aɖewo megbe la, nyɔnu si nye aƒea nɔ la ƒe viŋutsu dze dɔ. Dɔ la sesẽ nɛ tso ŋkeke me yi ŋkeke me eye mlɔeba la, eƒe gbɔgbɔ nu tso.
18 Wasesithi kuElija: Ngilani lawe, muntu kaNkulunkulu? Uze kimi ukuze kukhumbuleke isono sami lokubulala indodana yami na?
Egblɔ na Eliya be, “Oo Mawu ƒe ame, nya kae le asiwò ɖe ŋutinye? Ɖe nèva be yeaɖo ŋku nye nu vɔ̃wo dzi nam eye nàwu vinyeŋutsua?”
19 Wasesithi kuye: Nginika indodana yakho. Waseyithatha esifubeni sakhe, wayenyusela endlini ephezulu lapho ayehlala khona, wayilalisa embhedeni wakhe.
Eliya ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Tsɔ viwò ŋutsuvi la nam.” Exɔe le eƒe abɔwo dome hetsɔe yi eƒe xɔ me le dziƒoxɔ dzi eye wòtsɔe mlɔ eƒe aba dzi.
20 Wasekhala eNkosini wathi: Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, umehlisele ububi lalo umfelokazi engingenise kwakhe ngokubulala indodana yakhe na?
Tete wòdo ɣli na Yehowa be, “Oo Yehowa, nye Mawu, ɖe nèhe dzɔgbevɔ̃e va ahosi si gbɔ mele la hã dzi eye nèna via ŋutsuvi la kua?”
21 Wasezelulela phezu komntwana kathathu, wakhala eNkosini wathi: Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, ake ubuyele umphefumulo walumntwana phakathi kwakhe.
Eliya dra ɖe ɖevi la dzi zi etɔ̃ eye wòdo ɣli na Yehowa, be, “Oo, Yehowa, nye Mawu, na be ɖevi sia ƒe agbe natrɔ ava eme!”
22 INkosi yasilizwa ilizwi likaElija, umphefumulo womntwana wasubuyela phakathi kwakhe, wasebuya ephila.
Yehowa se Eliya ƒe gbedodoɖa, ale ɖevi la ƒe gbɔgbɔ gbugbɔ va eme eye wòtsi agbe.
23 UElija wasemthatha umntwana, wamehlisa esuka endlini ephezulu waya endlini, wamnika unina; uElija wasesithi: Bona, indodana yakho iyaphila.
Eliya kɔ ɖevi la eye wòdo go kplii tso xɔ la me yi anyigba eye wòtsɔe na dadaa gblɔ be, “Kpɔ ɖa, viwò ŋutsu la le agbe!”
24 Owesifazana wasesithi kuElija: Khathesi sengisazi lokhu, ukuthi ungumuntu kaNkulunkulu, ukuthi ilizwi leNkosi elisemlonyeni wakho liliqiniso.
Ahosi la gblɔ nɛ be, “Azɔ la, menya be Mawu ƒe amee nènye eye Yehowa ƒe nya si do tso wò nu me la nye nyateƒe.”
