15 Ngako lomfelokati wahamba wenta njengobe Elija bekashito futsi yena nemndeni wakhe kanye na-Elija, baba nekudla emalanga lamanyenti.+ 16 Lofulaha awuphelanga kulelijeke lelikhulu, nalamafutsa awaphelanga kulelijeke lelincane njengobe Jehova bekakhulumile asebentisa Elija.

22 Jehova wasilalela sicelo sa-Elija+ futsi lomntfwana waphindze waphila.+

24 Lomake wabese utsi ku-Elija: “Nyalo sengiyati kutsi wena ungumuntfu waNkulunkulu+ nekutsi livi laJehova leliphuma emlonyeni wakho liliciniso.”

36 Kwatsi ngesikhatsi sekwenta umnikelo walokutinhlavu wakusihlwa,+ Elija umphrofethi wasondzela embili wase utsi: “Awu Jehova Nkulunkulu wa-Abrahama,+ wa-Isaka+ newa-Israyeli, lamuhla akwatiwe kutsi unguNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli futsi mine ngiyinceku yakho, nekutsi ngilalele livi lakho ngekwenta tonkhe letintfo.+

17 Utawuhamba embikwaNkulunkulu anemoya nemandla lafana newa-Elija.+ Utawenta tinhlitiyo tabobabe tifanane netebantfwana,+ ente nalabo labangalaleli babe nekuhlakanipha lokufana nekwalabalungile. Loko utakwenta kuze bantfu balungele kukhonta Jehova.”*+

19 Ngulobu bufakazi Johane labusho ngesikhatsi emaJuda atfuma baphristi nemaLevi besuka eJerusalema kutsi bafike bambute batsi: “Ungubani?”+

21 Bambuta batsi: “Ungubani-ke? Ungu-Elija?”+ Yena watsi: “Angisuye.” “UngumPhrofethi+ lebesisolo simlindzile?” Wabaphendvula watsi: “Cha!”
