Ngokuba utsho uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, ukuthi, Umgubo osembizani awuyi kuphela, neoli ayiyi kuphela, ide iphele, ide ibe yimini uYehova aya kuyinisa imvula phezu komhlaba.

Wathi uEliya waseTishbhe, kubemi baseGiliyadi, kuAhabhi, NgoYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, ohleliyo, endimi phambi kwakhe, akuyi kubakho mbethe namvula ngale minyaka, kungengalo ilizwi likaYehova.

Wathi uEliya kuye, Musa ukoyika; hamba uye kwenza njengoko uthethile; kodwa kuqala ndenzele isonkana ngawo, undizisele, wenzele wena nonyana wakho.

Wathi, NgoYehova uThixo wakho ohleliyo, andinasonka, ingengumgubo ongazalisa isandla emphandeni, nentwana yeoli ngesitya; nanku ke nditheza iinkuni ezimbini, ukuba ndiye ndenzele mna nonyana wam, sizidle, sife.

Yiya eTsarfati, ezweni laseTsidon, uhlale khona; yabona, ndimwisele umthetho umhlolokazi okhona, ukuba akubophe.

Kodwa umgubo owawusembizani awuphelanga, neoli eyayisembizeni ayizange iphele, ngokwelizwi likaYehova awayelithethile ngomkhonzi kaEliya.

Wahamba ke, wenza ngokwelizwi likaEliya, wadla yena nendlu yakhe imihla emininzi.

Wavuka ke, waya eSafati. Wathi akufika esangweni lesixeko, nanko umhlolokazi ethwele iinkuni; Wambiza wathi: Ndiziseleni iemele yamanzi ndisele.

Uya kusela emlanjeni; ndaza ndayalela amagwababa ukuba adle khona.

Eya kuyithabatha, wayibiza wathi, Ndinike iqhekeza lesonka esandleni sakho.

Amagwababa amzisela isonka nenyama kusasa, isonka nenyama ngokuhlwa; wawusela umlambo.

Ekuhambeni kwexesha umlambo oqukuqelayo woma, ngenxa yokuba kwakungekho mvula elizweni.

Wathi loo mfazi kuEliya, Kaloku ke ndiyazi ukuba uyindoda yakwaThixo wena, nelizwi likaYehova elisemlonyeni wakho liyinyaniso.

Wahamba ke wenza ngokwelizwi likaYehova, ngokuba waya wahlala emfuleni womlanjana oyiKereti, ngaseYordan.

Waliva uYehova ilizwi likaEliya; wabuyela kuye umoya wenkwenkwe, waphila.
