< Boqorradii Kowaad 17 >
1 Oo Eliiyaah oo ahaa reer Tishbii, oo ka mid ahaa kuwii Gilecaad degganaa ayaa Axaab ku yidhi, Waxaan Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil ee aan hortiisa taaganahay noloshiisa ugu dhaartay inaan dharab iyo roob midna sannadahan la arki doonin, sidaan leeyahay mooyaane.
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.”
2 Markaasaa haddana waxaa isagii u yimid Eraygii Rabbiga oo leh,
Ngakho ilizwi likaThixo lafika ku-Elija lisithi:
3 Halkan ka tag, oo u leexo xagga bari, oo waxaad ku ag dhuumataa durdurka Keriid ee ku hor yaal Webi Urdun.
“Suka lapho, khangela empumalanga uyecatsha eDongeni lwaseKherithi, empumalanga kweJodani.
4 Oo waxaad ka cabbi doontaa durdurka, oo tukayaashana waan ku amray inay halkaas kugu quudiyaan.
Uzanatha amanzi avela kulesosifula, njalo sengilayile amawabayi ukuthi azabe ekulethela ukudla khonapho.”
5 Sidaas daraaddeed wuu tegey, oo wuxuu yeelay sidii erayga Rabbigu ku yidhi, waayo, wuu tegey oo ag joogi jiray durdurka Keriid ee ku hor yaal Webi Urdun.
Ngakho wenza lokho okwakutshiwo nguThixo. Waya eDongeni lwaseKherithi, empumalanga yeJodani, wafika wahlala khona.
6 Oo tukayaasha ayaa subaxdii u keeni jiray kibis iyo hilib, fiidkiina kibis iyo hilib, oo biyona durdurkuu ka cabbi jiray.
Amawabayi amlethela ukudla, isinkwa lenyama ekuseni kwathi lantambama kwaba yisinkwa lenyama, amanzi wayenatha esifuleni.
7 Oo in yar dabadeed ayaa durdurkii iska engegay, maxaa yeelay, dalku roob ma lahayn.
Ngemva kwesikhathi amanzi atsha esifuleni ngoba kwakungelazulu elizweni.
8 Markaasaa waxaa isagii u yimid Eraygii Rabbiga oo leh,
Ngakho kwabuye kwafika kuye ilizwi likaThixo lisithi:
9 Kac oo waxaad tagtaa Sarefta oo ay reer Siidoon leeyihiin, oo halkaas iska deg; oo bal eeg, naag carmal ah oo halkaas joogta waxaan ku amray inay ku quudiso.
“Suka khathesi uye eZarefathi yeSidoni uyehlala khona. Sengilungisile khona ukuthi umfelokazi uzakulungisela abe ekupha ukudla.”
10 Sidaas daraaddeed wuu kacay, oo wuxuu tegey Sarefta, oo markuu magaaladii iriddeedii yimid waxaa halkaas joogtay naag carmal ah oo xaabo guranaysa; oo intuu u yeedhay ayuu ku yidhi iyadii, Waan ku baryayaaye, wuxoogaa biyo ah weel iigu keen aan cabbee.
Wasesiya eZarefathi. Uthe efika esangweni ledolobho, kwakukhona umfelokazi edobha incwathi. Wazibika kuye njalo ecela wathi, “Ungangilethela amanzi ngenkezo kenginathe na?”
11 Oo markay u sii socotay inay u keento ayuu u yeedhay oo ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye waxaad gacanta iigu soo qaaddaa in yar oo kibis ah.
Uthe esayathatha amanzi, wambiza njalo wathi, “Ngicela ungiphathele locezu lwesinkwa.”
12 Iyana waxay tidhi, Waxaan Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah noloshiisa ugu dhaartay inaanan kibis haysan innaba, laakiinse waxaan haystaa sacab muggiis oo jidhiidh ah oo weel ku jira, iyo in yar oo saliid ah oo kusad ku jirta, oo bal eeg, laba qori baan u guranayaa si aan intaan gurigayga galo ugu diyaariyo aniga iyo wiilkayga, dabadeedna aan cunno oo aan dhimannee.
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.”
13 Markaasaa Eliiyaah ku yidhi iyadii, Ha cabsane tag oo yeel sidaad tidhi, laakiinse marka hore ii soo samee in yar oo kibis ah oo ii keen, dabadeedna u samee adiga iyo wiilkaaga.
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.
14 Waayo, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Weelka jidhiidha ahu idlaan maayo, kusadda saliidda ahuna idin gabi mayso ilaa maalinta Rabbigu dhulka roob ku soo daayo.
Ngoba lokhu yikho uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli akutshiloyo: ‘Impuphu esengcebethwini kayiyikuphela, lamafutha asediweni kawayikuphela, kuze kufike usuku uThixo azanisa ngalo izulu elizweni?’”
15 Markaasay tagtay oo waxay yeeshay sidii Eliiyaah ku yidhi, oo iyadii iyo isagii iyo reerkeediiba maalmo badan bay wax cunayeen.
Wasuka lapho wayakwenza njengalokho ayekutshilo u-Elija. Ngakho kwahlala kulokudla kuka-Elija lomfelokazi labendlu yakhe okwensuku zonke.
16 Oo weelkii jidhiidha ahaa ma uu idlaan, kusaddii saliidda ahaydna ma ay gabin, oo waxay ahaatay siduu ahaa eraygii Rabbigu u soo dhiibay Eliiyaah.
Ngoba ifulawa eyayisengcebethwini ayiphelanga, kanti njalo lamafutha agobhoza kokuphela kazaphela njengokutsho kukaThixo ku-Elija.
17 Oo waxyaalahaas dabadood ayaa naagtii guriga lahayd wiilkeedii bukooday, oo xataa neef keliyahu kuma hadhin, maxaa yeelay, bukaankiisu aad buu u xumaa.
Ngemva kwesikhatshana indodana yomfelokazi owayengumninindlu yagula. Wakhula umkhuhlane ngamandla, yaze yema ukuphefumula.
18 Markaasay Eliiyaah ku tidhi, War nin yahow Ilaah, maxaa inoo dhexeeya? War ma waxaad iigu timid inaad dembigayga i soo xusuusisid oo aad wiilkayga dishid?
Umfelokazi wathi ku-Elija, “Kanti kuyini ongizondela khona, wena muntu kaNkulunkulu? Kambe ungabe ulande ukuzangikhumbuza ngesono sami ukuze ubulale indodana yami na?”
19 Markaasuu ku yidhi, Naa bal wiilkaaga ii keen. Oo intuu isagii ka qaaday xabadkeedii ayuu kor ula baxay qowladdii uu isagu degganaa, oo wuxuu saaray sariirtiisii.
U-Elija waphendula wathi, “Nginika indodana yakho.” Wayiphatha ngezandla indodana, wakhwela layo waya endlini ephezulu ayehlala kuyo, wayilalisa embhedeni wakhe.
20 Markaasuu Rabbiga u qayshaday, oo ku yidhi, Rabbiyow, Ilaahayow, naagta carmalka ah oo aan la degganahay ma shar baad ku soo dejisay intaad wiilkeedii dishay?
Wasecela ngamandla kuThixo esithi. “Yebo Thixo Nkulunkulu wami, wehlisele umonakalo lakulo umfelokazi engihlezi kuye na, ngokubangela ukufa kwendodana yakhe na?”
21 Oo saddex jeer ayuu wiilka korkiisii isku kala bixiyey, oo intuu Rabbiga u qayshaday ayuu yidhi, Rabbiyow, Ilaahayow, waan ku baryayaaye, wiilkan naftiisii mar kale ha ku soo noqoto.
Wasezelula ecambalala phezu komfana kathathu ecela kuThixo, esithi, “Wena Thixo Nkulunkulu wami, ake ubuyisele impilo yalumntwana!”
22 Markaasaa Rabbigu dhegaystay Eliiyaah codkiisii, oo yarka naftiisii mar kalay ku soo noqotay, wuuna soo noolaaday.
UThixo wakuzwa ukukhala kuka-Elija lakanye impilo yomfana yabuyela, wavuka waphila.
23 Dabadeedna Eliiyaah yarkii buu soo qaaday, oo intuu qowladdii ka soo dejiyey ayuu gurigii keenay, oo u dhiibay hooyadiis; wuxuuna Eliiyaah iyadii ku yidhi, Bal eeg, wiilkaagii waa nool yahaye.
U-Elija wamphakamisa umntwana wamthwalela endlini ephansi. Wamqhubela unina wasesithi kunina, “Khangela ubone, indodana yakho iyaphila!”
24 Markaasaa naagtii waxay Eliiyaah ku tidhi, Haatan waan garanayaa inaad tahay nin Ilaah, iyo inuu run yahay erayga Ilaah oo afkaaga ku jira.
Umfelokazi wasesithi ku-Elija, “Khathesi sengisazi ukuthi ungumuntu kaNkulunkulu lokuthi ilizwi likaThixo elivela emlonyeni wakho liliqiniso.”
