Ndiphendule, Yehova, ndiphendule, bazi aba bantu ukuba wena Yehova unguYehova, nokuba nguwe oyibuyiseleyo intliziyo yabo.

Ngexesha lombingelelo wangokuhlwa, umprofeti uEliya wasondela waza wathi: “Yehova, Thixo ka-Abraham, kaIsake, noSirayeli, makwazeke namhla ukuba uThixo wakho usezweni lakwaSirayeli; nokuba ndingumkhonzi wakho, ukuze ndizenze zonke ezi zinto ngelizwi lakho.

Wafika uEliya ebantwini abo bonke, wathi, Koda kube nini na nimi phakathi kweentliziyo ezimbini? ukuba uYehova nguThixo, landelani yena; Ke yena uBhahali landelani yena. Akamphendula isihlwele.

Wehla ke umlilo kaYehova, walidla idini elinyukayo, kwaneenkuni, kwanamatye, kwanothuli, wawakhotha namanzi emhadini.

Bakukubona oko abantu bonke, bawa ngobuso, bathi: “uYehova nguThixo! Yehova, ndinguThixo.

Wathi ngomhla wesixhenxe, Nanko, kuphuma intaka elwandle, engathi sisandla somntu; Wathi, Nyuka, uthi kuAhabhi, Lungisa inqwelo yakho, uhle, hleze imvula ingakuyeki.

Sabakho ke isandla sikaYehova kuEliya; wabhinqa esinqeni sakhe waza wabaleka phambi kuka-Ahabhi de waya kufika kumnyango waseYizereli.

Wathi uEliya kuAhabhi, Vuka, udle, usele; ngokuba kuvakala isandi semvula enkulu.

Wathi kwindodana yakwakhe, Khawunyuke, ukhangele elwandle; Yenyuka, yakhangela, yathi, Akukho nto. Wathi, Buyela umva, kasixhenxe.

Wathi uEliya ebantwini bonke, Sondelani kum apha. Basondela kuye bonke abantu. Waza ke wasihlaziya isibingelelo sikaYehova esasidiliziwe.

Bizani igama loothixo benu, ndithandaze ke igama likaYehova; yaye uThixo ophendula ngomlilo makabe nguThixo. Baphendula bonke abantu, bathi, Lilungisile ilizwi lakho.

uEliya wathabatha amatye alishumi elinamabini ngokwenani lezizukulwana zoonyana bakaYakobi, elafikayo kubo ilizwi likaYehova, lisithi, Igama lakho liya kuba nguSirayeli

Ke kaloku, kwakufika imini enkulu, uEliya wadlala ngabo, wathi, Dumani kakhulu, ngokuba ndinguThixo; mhlawumbi uyathetha, okanye uyaleqa, okanye uyahamba, okanye mhlawumbi ulele kwaye ufuna ukuvuka.

Wakha isibingelelo ngamatye egameni likaYehova; Wenza umsele olingene iiseha ezimbini zembewu, ngeenxa zonke esibingelelweni.
