1 DIKGOSI 19

3Ha Elia a bona taba di le mosenekeng, a ema, a baleha hore a tle a pholohe, a ba a ya fihla Beeresheba e naheng ya Juda, mme a siya mohlanka wa hae hona moo.

4Elia yena a qeta letsatsi a ntse a tsamaya hara lehwatata. A fihla a dula tlasa sehlahla sa tshinabele, a ikopela hore a shwe, a re: “Ho lekane! Oho, Morena, nka moya wa ka jwale, hobane ha ke fete bo-ntate ka letho!”

5Ha a ntse a paqame, a kgalehile katlasa sehlahla sa tshinabele, lengeloi la mo sisinya, la re ho yena: “Tsoha, o je!” 6Ha a tadima, a bona senkgwa se besitsweng mollong wa mashala, pela hlooho ya hae ho ena le lekuka la metsi. Yaba o a ja, o a nwa, a nto kgaleha hape.

7Lengeloi la Morena la boela la tla kgetlo la bobedi, la mo sisinya, la re: “Tsoha, o je, ho seng jwalo leeto lena le tla o imela.” 8Yaba o a tsoha, o a ja, o a nwa. Dijo tseo tsa mo matlafatsa, mme a tsamaya matsatsi a mashome a mane, le masiu a mashome a mane, a ba a ya fihla Horebe, thabeng ya Modimo.

9Ha a fihla teng a fumana lehaha, mme a robala ka ho lona. Yaba lentswe la Morena le fihla ho yena, le re: “O etsang moo, Elia?”

10Elia a re: “Ke ka baka la ho boulela Morena Modimo wa mabotho, ke leng mona. Bana ba Iseraele ba furaletse selekane sa hao, ba heleditse dialetare tsa hao, ba bolaile baporofeta ba hao ka sabole. Ke nna ke le mong feela ya setseng, mme jwale ba batla ho mpolaya.”

11Lentswe la re: “Tsamaya, o yo ema hodima thaba, kapele ho Morena.” Yaba Morena o a feta.

Moya wa sefefo se matla, o eteletseng Morena pele, wa heletsa dithaba, wa kgepholaka mafika, empa Morena o ne a le siyo kahara moya oo. Hoba moya oo o fete, ha eba le tshisinyeho ya lefatshe, empa Morena o ne a le siyo kahara tshisinyeho eo. 12Hoba tshisinyeho eo e kgaotse, ha eba le mollo, empa Morena o ne a le siyo kahara mollo oo. Hoba mollo oo o fete, ha utlwahala lentswe le lesesanyane, le hweshetsang.
