U-Eliya nabaBingeleli bakaBhahali
Umprofeti weNkosi equbisebene nababingeleli bobuxoki
Ubukumkani bukaSirayeli baqhubekeka ngokusokola kokungabinawo amanzi. Ukumkani u-Ahabhi waxelela abantu ukuba balandele uthixo wobuxoki obizwa ngokuba nguBhahali.
INkosi yathumela umprofeti u-Eliya ukuba ayokudibana no-Ahabhi. U-Eliya wamemela bonke abantu phezu kwentaba. Wamemela ukumkani nababingeleli bakhe kumcelingeni wokubona okokuba iNkosi okanye uBhahali wayenguThixo wenene na.
U-Eliya wawuchaza umcelimngeni. Yena nababingeleli babeya kukwenza idini lenkunzi yenkomo esibingelelweni, kodwa babengazukuwubasa ngokwabo umlilo. Endaweni yoko, ababingeleli babeya kuthandaza kuBhahali ukuba enze kubekho umlilo. Ngoko ke u-Eliya wayeya kuthandaza eNkosini ukuba yenze kubekho umlilo. U-Eliya wayesazi ukuba uThixo wokwenene qha owayeya kukwenza kubekho umlilo lowo.
Ababingeleli bakaBhahali bathandaza kuthixo wabo ukusukela ekuseni ukuya emini emaqanda, kodwa akukho nto eyenzekayo. U-Eliya waqhula kunye nabo kwaye wathi uthixo wabo uBhahali wayelele mhlawumbi.
Ababingeleli baye babanomsindo, baxhumela phezu kwesibingelelo, kwaye bakhwaza kwade kwangorhatya. Babethemba ukuba uthixo wabo wayeya kuphendula, kodwa akuzange kubekho mlilo.
Emva koko kwafika ithuba lika-Eliya. Yena wokhela iNkosi isibingelelo, womba umsele ongqunge isibingelelo, kwaye walungisa idini.
U-Eliya wacela abantu ukuba bagcwalise imiphanda emine ngamanzi kwaye bawagalele phezu kweenkuni eziphezu kwesibingelelo sakhe amaxesha amathathu. Amanzi amanzisa iinkuni kunye nesibingelelo. Agcwalisa wonke umsele.
U-Eliya waye wathandaza eNkosini ukuba ibonakalise amandla okwenene kaThixo. Umlilo weNkosi wehla kwaye watshabalalisa idini, neenkuni, namatye, kunye namanzi. Abantu babesazi ukuba uThixo ka-Eliya wayenguThixo wenyaniso. U-Eliya wathandazela ukuba imbalela iphele, kwaye iNkosi yathumela imvula.
