1 Amakhosi 19

¹U-Ahabi wamtshela u-Izebeli konke u-Eliya ayekwenzile, nendlela ayebulele ngayo bonke abaprofethi ngenkemba.

²U-Izebeli wayesethuma isigijimi ku-Eliya ukuthi: “Mabenze lokhu kimi onkulunkulu, bengezelele kanjalo, uma ngingenzi ukuphila kwakho kube njengempilo yomunye wabo kusasa ngalesi sikhathi.

³Lapho ekubona, wasukuma, wabaleka ukuze asindise umphefumulo wakhe, wafika eBeri Sheba elingelakwaJuda, washiya inceku yakhe lapho.

⁴Kepha yena wahamba ibanga losuku ehlane, wafika wahlala phansi komjunipha; futhi wazibuza ukuthi kufanele afe; wathi: Kwanele; manje, Jehova, susa ukuphila kwami; ngoba kangingcono kulobaba.

⁵Esalele phansi kojunipha, bheka, ingelosi yamthinta, yathi kuye: “Vuka udle.”

⁶Wabheka, bheka, nanto iqebelengwane elibhakiwe phezu kwamalahle, nembiza yamanzi ngasekhanda lakhe. Wadla, waphuza, wabuye walala;

⁷Ingelosi kaJehova yabuya ngokwesibili, yamthinta, yathi: “Vuka udle; ngoba uhambo lukhulu kakhulu kuwe.

⁸Wavuka, wadla, waphuza, ngamandla alokho kudla izinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane waya eHorebe, intaba kaNkulunkulu.

⁹Wangena khona emhumeni, walala khona; bheka, izwi likaJehova lafika kuye, lathi kuye: “Wenzani lapha, Eliya?

¹⁰Wathi: “Ngaba nobukhwele obukhulu kuJehova uNkulunkulu Sebawoti, ngokuba abantwana bakwa-Israyeli basishiyile isivumelwano sakho, badilize ama-altare akho, babulala abaprofethi bakho ngenkemba; ngase ngisele ngedwa; futhi bafuna umphefumulo wami ukuze bawususe.

¹¹Wathi: “Phuma, ume entabeni phambi kukaJehova.” Bheka, uJehova wadlula, umoya omkhulu onamandla wadabula izintaba, waphahlaza amadwala phambi kukaJehova; kepha uJehova wayengekho kulowo moya, emva komoya ukuzamazama komhlaba; kepha uJehova wayengekho ekuzamazameni komhlaba.

¹²Emva kokuzamazama komhlaba umlilo; kepha uJehova wayengekho emlilweni, emva komlilo izwi elincane elizolile.

¹³U-Eliya ekuzwa lokho wagubuzela ubuso bakhe ngengubo yakhe, waphuma wema emnyango womhume. Bheka, kwafika kuye izwi, lathi: “Wenzani lapha, Eliya?

¹⁴Wathi: “Ngangishisekela nokushisekela uJehova uNkulunkulu Sebawoti, ngokuba abantwana bakwa-Israyeli basishiyile isivumelwano sakho, badilize ama-altare akho, babulala abaprofethi bakho ngenkemba; ngase ngisele ngedwa; futhi bafuna umphefumulo wami ukuze bawususe.

¹⁵UJehova wathi kuye: “Hamba, ubuyele ehlane laseDamaseku; lapho usufikile, umgcobe uHasayeli abe yinkosi phezu kwe-Aramu.

¹⁶Futhi uJehu, indodana kaNimsi, kumelwe umgcobe abe yinkosi phezu kuka-Israyeli; futhi u-Elisa, indodana kaShafati, wase-Abela Mehola, kumelwe umgcobe abe umprofethi esikhundleni sakho.

¹⁷Futhi kuyokwenzeka ukuthi uJehu uyombulala lowo owaphunyuka enkembeni kaHazayeli; ophunyuka enkembeni kaJehu, u-Elisha uyakumbulala.

¹⁸Kodwa ngizishiyele kwa-Israyeli abayizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa, wonke amadolo angaguqanga kuBhali, nayo yonke imilomo engazange imange.

¹⁹Wasuka lapho, wafumana u-Elisa, indodana kaShafati, elima ngezinkabi eziyishumi nambili phambi kwakhe, yena ekweshumi nambili; u-Eliya wadlula kuye, waphonsa ingubo yakhe phezu kwakhe.

²⁰Wazishiya izinkabi, wagijima emva kuka-Eliya, wathi: “Ake ngange ubaba nomame, bese ngiyakulandela.” Wathi kuye: “Buyela emuva, ngokuba ngenzeni kuwe na?”

²¹Wabuya ekumlandeleni, wathatha izinkabi, wazihlaba, wapheka ukudla kwazo ngezitsha zezinkabi, wanika abantu, badla. Wasuka-ke, wamlandela u-Eliya, wamkhonza.
