Ngobe nguloko lokushiwo nguSimakadze Nkulunkulu wema-Israyeli, utsi: ‘Fulaha losesitjeni angeke aphele, nenseketse yemafutsa ingeke iphele eludziweni, kuze kube lilanga lapho Simakadze ayawunisa khona litulu eveni.’ ”

Elija waseThishbe, labewekutalwa eThishbe kulakaGileyadi, wakhuluma ku-Ahabi watsi: “Ngelibito laSimakadze, Nkulunkulu lophilako wema-Israyeli, lengimkhontako, ngiyakutjela ngitsi kungeke kube khona ematolo ngisho nemvula kuleminyaka lembalwa letako, kuze kusho mine.”

Kodvwa Elija watsi kuye: “Ungesabi. Hamba wente njengobe ushito, kodvwa ubocala wentele mine kucala licebelengwane lelincane lesinkhwa, kuloko lonako, bese ukuletsa lapha kimi. Emvakwaloko-ke bese utentela wena nendvodzana yakho.

Lomfelokati waphendvula watsi: “Ngifunga kuphila kwaSimakadze Nkulunkulu wakho, ngitsi: Ngite nasinye sinkhwa. Nginengcosana nje yafulaha esitjeni, nenseketse yemafutsa eludziweni. Bengisasabutela tinkhunyana nje lapha, kutsi ngiye ekhaya ngitiphekele mine kanye nendvodzana yami, kuze sidle, emvakwaloko bese siyafa.”

“Hamba nyalo uye eSarefathi yaseSidoni uyewuhlala khona. Ngiyale umfelokati wakuleyo ndzawo kutsi akuphe kudla.”

Ngobe esitjeni safulaha akazange aphele fulaha, naseludziweni lwemafutsa akazange aphele emafutsa; kwenteka njengobe livi laSimakadze lelalikhulunywe ngu-Elija lishito.

Lomfelokati wahamba wayakwenta njengobe atjelwe ngu-Elija. Ngaleyo ndlela Elija nalomfelokati nemndeni wakhe baba nekudla lokwenele onkhe emalanga.

Ngako-ke wahamba waya eSarefathi. Watsi efika nje esangweni lelidolobha, wakhandza umfelokati lapho atfota tinkhuni, wambita, wamcela watsi: “Ungangiletsela yini emanti ngendzebe kutsi ngifane nginatse?”

Uyawunatsa kulowo mfudlana; ngiyale emahhwabayi kutsi akondlele khona lapho.”

Watsi lomfelokati asahamba ayakumnatsisa, Elija watsi: “Ubomane ungiphatsele nelucetwana lwesinkhwa, tsine.”

Emahhwabayi abemletsela sinkhwa nenyama njalo ekuseni nasentsambama, bese unatsa kulowo mfudlana.

Ngekuhamba kwesikhatsi, lomfudlana woma, ngobe kwase kute imvula eveni.

Lomfelokati watsi ku-Elija: “Manje sengiyati kutsi ungumuntfu waNkulunkulu, nekutsi livi laSimakadze leliphuma emlonyeni wakho liliciniso.”

Ngako Elija wenta njengobe Simakadze abemtjelile. Wahamba waya eSihosheni saseKherithi, ngasemphumalanga neJordane, wahlala khona.

Simakadze wakuva kukhala kwa-Elija, umphefumulo wemfana wabuyela kuye, waphila.
