1 UElija umTishibi wabahlali beGileyadi wasesithi kuAhabi: Kuphila kukaJehova, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, engimi phambi kwakhe, kakuyikuba khona lamazolo lezulu kuliminyaka, kuphela njengokwelizwi lami.
OLELO aku la hoi o Elia ka Tiseba no ko Gileada, ia Ahaba, Ma ke oia ana o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela imua ona e ku nei au, aole auanei he ua, aole hoi he hau i keia mau makahiki, ma ka'u olelo wale no.
2 Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kuye lisithi:
Hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia ia, i ka i ana mai,
3 Suka lapha, wena uphendukele empumalanga, uzicatshise esifuleni iKerithi, esiphambi kweJordani.
E hele oe mai keia wahi aku, a huli hikina ae, a e pee aku ma ke kahawai Kerita mamua o Ioredane.
4 Kuzakuthi-ke unathe esifuleni; sengilaye amawabayi ukuthi akondle khona.
Eia hoi keia, e inu oe i ko ke kahawai; a ua kauoha ae nei au i na manukoraka e hanai ia oe ilaila.
5 Wasehamba wenza njengokwelizwi leNkosi, ngoba wayahlala esifuleni iKerithi esiphambi kweJordani.
Hele aku la hoi oia a hana e like me ka olelo a Iehova; no ka mea, ua hele ia a noho ma ke kahawai Kerita mamua o Ioredane.
6 Amawabayi asemlethela isinkwa lenyama ekuseni, lesinkwa lenyama ntambama; wanatha esifuleni.
A lawe mai na manukoraka i ka berena a me ka io ia ia i kakahiaka, a i ka berena a me ka io i ke ahiahi; a inu ae la hoi oia i ko ke kahawai.
7 Kwasekusithi emva kwesikhathi isifula satsha, ngoba kwakungelazulu elizweni.
Eia kekahi, i ka hala ana'e o na la, maloo iho la ke kahawai, no ka mea, aohe ua ma ka aina.
8 Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kuye lisithi:
A hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova ia ia, i ka i ana mai,
9 Sukuma uye eZarefathi engeyeSidoni, uhlale khona. Khangela, ngilayile owesifazana ongumfelokazi khona ukuthi akondle.
E ku ae, a hele oe i Sarepeta no Sidona, a e noho malaila: eia hoi, ua kauoha ae nei au i kahi wahine kanemake malaila e hanai ia oe.
10 Wasukuma-ke waya eZarefathi. Lapho efika esangweni lomuzi, khangela, owesifazana ongumfelokazi wayelapho etheza inkuni; wasembiza wathi: Ake ungikhele amanzi amalutshwana ngenkezo ukuze nginathe.
Ku ae la hoi, a hele ia i Sarepeta; a hiki i ka puka o ke kulanakauhale, aia hoi, malaila ka wahine kanemake e ohi ana i na lala laau; a kahea aku oia i ka wahine, i aku la, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe e lawe mai i wahi wai uuku maloko o ka ipu, e inu au.
11 Kwathi esahamba ukuyawathatha, wambiza wathi: Ake ungiphathele ucezu lwesinkwa esandleni sakho.
A i kona hele ana e lawe mai, kahea aku la oia ia ia, i aku la, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe e lawe mai na'u i kau wahi berena uuku maloko o kou lima.
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.
I mai la ka wahine, Ma ke ola ana o Iehova o kou Akua, aole o'u popo palaoa, hookahi wale no piha o ka lima o ka palaoa wali ole, maloko o ka barela, a he wahi aila uuku iloko o kahi omole: eia hoi, e ohi ana au i na lala laau elua e hele au iloko, a e hoomoa'e ia na maua me kuu keiki, e ai maua, a make.
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.
I aku la o Elia ia ia, Mai makau oe; aka, e hele a e hana oe e like me kau olelo; aka, e hana mua oe i wahi popo palaoa uuku na'u, a e lawe mai i o'u nei, a mamuli e hana oe na olua me kau keiki.
14 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakoIsrayeli: Imbiza yempuphu kayiyikuphela, lesiphiso samafutha kasiyikuswela, kuze kube lusuku iNkosi ezanisa ngalo izulu ebusweni bomhlaba.
No ka mea, ko i mai nei o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, Aole e emi iho ka barela palaoa wali ole, aole hoi e pau ae ka omole aila a hiki i ka la e haawi mai ai o Iehova i ka ua ma ka ili o ka honua.
15 Wasehamba wenza njengokwelizwi likaElija. Njalo yena kanye laye lendlu yakhe badla okwensuku ezinengi.
Hele ae la hoi oia a hana e like me ka olelo a Elia; a ai iho la ko kona hale i na la he nui.
16 Imbiza yempuphu kayiphelanga lesiphiso samafutha kasiswelanga, njengokwelizwi leNkosi eyalikhuluma ngesandla sikaElija.
Aole i emi iho ka barela palaoa wali ole, aole hoi i pau ae ka omole aila, e like me ka olelo a Iehova ana i olelo mai ai ma ka lima o Elia.
17 Kwasekusithi emva kwalezizinto, indodana yowesifazana, inkosikazi yendlu, yagula; lomkhuhlane wayo wawulamandla kangangokuthi akwaze kwasala umphefumulo kuyo.
Eia kekahi mahope mai o ia mau mea, mai iho la ke keiki a ka wahine ka mea hale, a nui ae la kona mai, aole koe ka hanu iloko ona.
18 Wasesithi kuElija: Ngilani lawe, muntu kaNkulunkulu? Uze kimi ukuze kukhumbuleke isono sami lokubulala indodana yami na?
Olelo mai la ka wahine ia Elia, Heaha ko kaua, e ke kanaka o ke Akua? Ua hele mai nei anei oe io'u nei e hoakaka mai i ko'u hewa, a e pepehi mai hoi i ka'u keiki?
19 Wasesithi kuye: Nginika indodana yakho. Waseyithatha esifubeni sakhe, wayenyusela endlini ephezulu lapho ayehlala khona, wayilalisa embhedeni wakhe.
I aku la oia i ka wahine, E haawi mai i kau keiki ia'u. Lawe ae la oia ia ia mai ko ka wahine poli ae, a hali ae la oia ia ia iluna i kahi keena oluna, i kahi e noho ai oia, a hoomoe iho la ia ia ma kona wahi moe iho;
20 Wasekhala eNkosini wathi: Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, umehlisele ububi lalo umfelokazi engingenise kwakhe ngokubulala indodana yakhe na?
A kahea aku la oia ia Iehova, i aku la hoi, E Iehova ko'u Akua, ua lawe mai nei anei oe i ka hewa maluna o ka wahinekanemake, me ia e noho iki ana au, i ka pepehi ana mai i kana keiki?
21 Wasezelulela phezu komntwana kathathu, wakhala eNkosini wathi: Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, ake ubuyele umphefumulo walumntwana phakathi kwakhe.
Hoopalaha ae la oia maluna o ke keiki i na wa ekolu, a kahea aku la ia Iehova, i aku la hoi, E Iehova ko'u Akua, ke pule aku nei au ia oe, e hoi hou mai ka uhane o keia keiki iloko ona.
22 INkosi yasilizwa ilizwi likaElija, umphefumulo womntwana wasubuyela phakathi kwakhe, wasebuya ephila.
Hoolohe mai la hoi o Iehova i ka leo o Elia, a hoi hou mai la ka uhane o ke keiki iloko ona, a ola ae la ia.
23 UElija wasemthatha umntwana, wamehlisa esuka endlini ephezulu waya endlini, wamnika unina; uElija wasesithi: Bona, indodana yakho iyaphila.
Lalau iho la o Elia i ke keiki, a lawe iho mai loko iho o ko luna keena iloko o ka hale, a haawi ae la ia ia i kona makuwahine; i aku la hoi o Elia, E ike hoi, ke ola nei kau keiki.
24 Owesifazana wasesithi kuElija: Khathesi sengisazi lokhu, ukuthi ungumuntu kaNkulunkulu, ukuthi ilizwi leNkosi elisemlonyeni wakho liliqiniso.
Olelo mai la ka wahine ia Elia, Ano, ma keia i ike ai au, he kanaka no ke Akua oe, a o ka olelo a Iehova ma kou waha he oiaio.
