Ka nsongualume ka mukashi kilele kabasanguka

Mu mafuku a munanga, Yehowa balunguile Eliya’shi: ‘Ebue wende ku Sarepta. Mukashi kilele akakupa bidiibua kuakua.’ Ku kituelelo kia kibundi, Eliya bamuene mukashi kilele mulanda asangula nteete. Aye nkumuteka ekopo dia mema. Pabaadi ende mu kumutuadila, Eliya nkumulungula dingi’shi: ‘Ntuadile namu kipese kia mukate.’ Yawa mukashi bamulunguile’shi: ‘Ntshi na kintu su nkimune kilumbuule nya. Ne’nka penda na tu bukula tupeela na ndambo a muimu buandia kuteekiela muana’nde n’ami nabeene.’ Eliya nkumulungula’shi: ‘Yehowa amba’shi: Elondo dia bukula t’adipu, kiasa kia muimu t’akikama mpaa na kuifuku adikanoko mpeshi.’

Mukashi kilele bayile, aye nkukitshiina mutemuki a Yehowa mukate. Anka bu bibaadi Yehowa mulee, mukashi kilele na muan’aye abaadi’nka na bidiibua mu mafuku ooso a munanga. Elondo diaye na kiasa kia muimu bibaadi’nka biwule.

Kubaadi kukitshikie muanda wa kukaanya kunyima. Ka nsongualume ka mukashi kilele kabakumbile ako nkufua. Yawa muana mukashi nkuiyayila Eliya bua’shi abuushe muana aye. Eliya bamuatshile mu maboko, enda naaye ku kadimbo ka kuiyilu. Bamuladiishe pa lusala aye nkuteka’shi: ‘Yehowa, muuwa wa uno muana walukie namu munda muaye.’ Ouku buakinyi bibadia kuikala muanda wa kukaanya bua Yehowa kumusangusha? Muanda takubaadi muntu mubande kusanguka kubanga kala nya. Akupu uno mukashi kilele na ka nsongualume kaaye tababaadi sunga bena Isalele nya.

Ka nsongualume nkualukiila na muwa! Eliya nkulungula mukashi kilele’shi: ‘Tala! Muan’obe balukiila na muwa.’ Baadi na muloo ukata, aye nkulungula Eliya’shi: ‘Mbinyibinyi, we mutemuki a Efile Mukulu. Muanda wakula’nka abikulungula Yehowa.’
