3 Eliya ataona zimenezi, ananyamuka nathawa kupulumutsa moyo wake. Atafika ku Beeriseba ku Yuda, anasiya mtumiki wake kumeneko, 4 ndipo Eliyayo anayenda ulendo wa tsiku limodzi mʼchipululu. Anafika pa kamtengo ka tsache, nakhala pansi pa tsinde lake napemphera kuti afe. Iye anati, “Yehova, ine ndatopa nazo. Chotsani moyo wanga. Ineyo sindine wopambana makolo anga.”
5 Ndipo Eliya anagona tulo tofa nato pa tsinde pa kamtengoko.

Ambuye Aonekera Eliya
Ndipo taonani, Yehova anayankhula naye kuti, “Eliya, ukuchita chiyani kuno?”
10 Iye anayankha kuti, “Ndakhala wodzipereka kwambiri kwa Yehova Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse. Aisraeli asiya pangano lanu, agwetsa maguwa anu ansembe, ndipo apha aneneri anu ndi lupanga. Ndatsala ine ndekha ndipo tsopano akufuna kundipha.”
11 Yehova anati, “Tuluka ndipo ukayime pa phiri pamaso pa Yehova, pakuti Yehova ali pafupi kudutsa pamenepo.”
Tsono mphepo yayikulu ndi yamphamvu inawomba ningʼamba mapiri ndi kuswa matanthwe pamaso pa Yehova, koma Yehova sanali mʼmphepomo. Itapita mphepoyo panachita chivomerezi, koma Yehova sanali mʼchivomerezicho. 12 Chitapita chivomerezicho, panafika moto, koma Yehova sanali mʼmotomo. Ndipo utapita motowo, panamveka kamphepo kayaziyazi. 13 Eliya atamva kamphepoko, anakokera chovala chake naphimba kumutu. Anatuluka ndipo anayima pa khomo la phanga.
Ndipo panamveka mawu akuti, “Eliya, ukuchita chiyani kuno?”
14 Iye anayankha kuti, “Ndakhala wodzipereka kwambiri kwa Yehova Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse. Aisraeli asiya pangano lanu, agwetsa maguwa anu ansembe, ndipo apha aneneri anu ndi lupanga. Ndatsala ine ndekha ndipo tsopano akufuna kundipha.”
15 Yehova anati kwa Eliyayo, “Bwerera njira imene unadzera, ndipo upite ku Chipululu cha ku Damasiko. Ukakafika kumeneko, ukadzoze Hazaeli kuti akhale mfumu ya ku Aramu.
