15 Ngakho umfelokazi wahamba wayakwenza lokho u-Elija ayekutshilo. Yena lemuli yakhe kanye lo-Elija abazange baswele ukudla okwensuku ezinengi ezalandelayo.+ 16 Ifulawa eyayisembizeni enkulu ayizange iphele, lamafutha ayesembizeni encane awazange aphele, njengoba nje uJehova wayetshilo esebenzisa u-Elija.

22 UJehova wasilalela isicelo sika-Elija,+ umntwana wavuka waphila.+

24 Owesifazana wasesithi ku-Elija: “Khathesi sengikwazi sibili ukuthi ungumuntu kaNkulunkulu+ lokuthi ilizwi likaJehova olikhulumileyo liliqiniso.”

36 Kwathi sekuyisikhathi okwakunikelwa ngaso umnikelo wamabele wakusihlwa,+ u-Elija umphrofethi wasondela phambili wasesithi: “Awu Jehova Nkulunkulu ka-Abrahama+ lo-Isaka+ lo-Israyeli, lamuhla kwenze kwaziwe ukuthi wena nguwe uNkulunkulu ko-Israyeli lokuthi mina ngiyinceku yakho njalo konke engikwenzileyo ngikwenze ngilandela ilizwi lakho.+

38 Ngalesosikhathi kwehla umlilo kaJehova uvela ezulwini watshisa umhlatshelo wokutshiswa,+ lenkuni, lamatshe, lenhlabathi, waqeda lamanzi ayesemgelweni.+

46 UJehova wanika u-Elija amandla,* wabophela isembatho sakhe ekhalweni, wagijima phambi kuka-Ahabi waze wayafika eJeziriyeli.

8 U-Elija wathatha isembatho sakhe somphrofethi+ wasigoqa watshaya ngaso amanzi ehlukana, amanye aba sesandleni sokudla amanye kwesenxele, bachapha emhlabathini owomileyo.+

11 Bathi belokhu behamba bexoxa, kwathutsha inqola yomlilo lamabhiza omlilo+ kwabehlukanisa, u-Elija wasephakanyiselwa emazulwini* ngesiphepho.+

17 Izahamba phambi kukaNkulunkulu ilomoya kanye lamandla ka-Elija,+ yenze ukuthi izinhliziyo zabobaba ziphenduke zibe njengezabantwana+ lokuthi abangalaleliyo baphenduke futhi bahlakaniphe njengabantu abalungileyo. Lokhu iyabe ikwenzela ukuthi abantu balungele ukukhonza uJehova.”*+

19 UJohane wafakaza kumaJuda ayethume abaphristi lamaLevi besuka eJerusalema ukuthi bayembuza bathi: “Wena ungubani?”+

21 Basebembuza bathi: “Manje okuyikho yikuphi? Ungu-Elija yini?”+ Yena wathi: “Hatshi.” Basebesithi: “Ungumphrofethi okwathiwa uyeza yini?”+ Waphendula wathi: “Hatshi!”
