19 Maze Ahabu+ yiganira Yezebeli+ ivyo Eliya yari yarakoze vyose n’amakuru yose yerekeye ingene yari yaricishije inkota abahanuzi bose+. 2 Yezebeli aca atuma intumwa kuri Eliya ati: “Imana zingirire gutyo+, mbere n’ibirenze ivyo+, ejo nk’aya mango ubuzima bwawe nintabugira nk’ubuzima bw’umwumwe wese muri bo!” 3 Maze Eliya aratinya. Nuko arahaguruka, aragenda kugira anyage amagara+, ashika i Beyeri-sheba+, ahegukira Yuda+. Maze asiga ng’aho umusuku wiwe. 4 Ariko we aja mu gahinga, ahareha n’urugendo rw’umusi umwe, amaherezo aja kwicara munsi y’igiti kimwe c’umugoti+. Nuko atangura gusaba ko yokwipfira, avuga ati: “Biramaze! None rero, ewe Yehova, nkuraho+, kuko ntaruta ba sogokuruza banje.”
5 Amaherezo araryama, asinzirira munsi ya nya giti c’umugoti+. Mugabo ako kanya umumarayika+ amukorako+. Maze amubwira ati: “Vyuka urye.” 6 Aravye, erega, ehe ku mutwe wiwe hari agatsima k’umuzingi+ kari ku mabuye ashuhijwe be n’ikarabiya ry’amazi. Nuko atangura kurya no kunywa, hanyuma asubira kuryama. 7 Mu nyuma, umumarayika+ wa Yehova agaruka ubugira kabiri, amukorako maze avuga ati: “Vyuka urye, kuko urugendo ari rurerure birenze kuri wewe+.” 8 Nuko aravyuka, ararya yongera aranywa, maze amara imisi mirongo ine+ n’amajoro mirongo ine agendera mu nkomezi z’izo mfungurwa gushika ku musozi w’Imana y’ukuri, ari wo Horebu+.
9 Ng’aho, amaherezo yinjira mw’isenga+, kugira ngo arareyo; maze ehe, ijambo rya Yehova riza kuri we, hanyuma rimubwira riti: “Ukora iki ng’aha ga Eliya+?” 10 Na we avuga ati: “Nagize koko ishari+ ku bwa Yehova Imana nyen’ingabo; kuko bene Isirayeli bahevye isezerano ryawe+, ibicaniro vyawe bakabisambura+, abahanuzi bawe na bo bakabicisha inkota+, ku buryo ari jewe jenyene nsigaye+; none batanguye kurondera ubuzima bwanje ngo babukureho+.” 11 Mugabo rivuga riti: “Sohoka, uhagarare ku musozi imbere ya Yehova+.” Maze ehe, Yehova yariko ararengana+; umuyaga uhambaye kandi ukomeye wariko usatagura imisozi wongera umenagura ibitare imbere ya Yehova+. (Yehova ntiyari muri uwo muyaga.) Inyuma y’uwo muyaga haba ukunyiganyiga kw’isi+. (Yehova ntiyari muri ukwo kunyiganyiga kw’isi.) 12 Inyuma y’ukwo kunyiganyiga kw’isi haba umuriro+. (Yehova ntiyari muri uwo muriro.) Inyuma y’uwo muriro haba ijwi ritekanye, ryo hasi+. 13 Eliya akimara kuryumva, aca yizingira mu maso impuzu yiwe y’ibango+ araheza arasohoka, ahagarara mu bwinjiriro bwa nya senga; maze ehe ijwi riza kuri we hanyuma rimubwira riti: “Ukora iki ng’aha ga Eliya+?” 14 Na we avuga ati: “Nagize koko ishari ku bwa Yehova Imana nyen’ingabo; kuko bene Isirayeli bahevye isezerano ryawe+, ibicaniro vyawe bakabisambura, abahanuzi bawe na bo bakabicisha inkota, ku buryo ari jewe jenyene nsigaye; none batanguye kurondera ubuzima bwanje ngo babukureho+.”
15 Nuko Yehova amubwira ati: “Genda, usubire ujane inzira yawe uje mu gahinga ka Damasiko+; winjire hanyuma urobanuze amavuta+ Hazayeli+, abe umwami wa Siriya. 16 Yehu+ umwuzukuru wa Nimushi+ na we umurobanuze amavuta, abe umwami wa Isirayeli; Elisha+ mwene Shafati w’i Abeli-mehola+ na we umurobanuze amavuta, abe umuhanuzi mu kibanza cawe+. 17 Uwuzokira inkota ya Hazayeli+, Yehu azomwica+; uwuzokira inkota ya Yehu na we Elisha azomwica+. 18 Kandi nasigaje abagabo ibihumbi indwi muri Isirayeli+, amavi yose atapfukamiye Bayali+, n’umunwa wose utayisomye+.”
19 Nuko aragenda avuye ng’aho maze abona Elisha mwene Shafati, mu gihe yariko ararima+ n’amashūri mirongo ibiri n’ane imbere yiwe afatanijwe ari abirabiri, we akaba yari kumwe n’abiri ya nyuma. Eliya arajabuka rero, aja aho ari maze amutererako impuzu y’ibango yiwe+. 20 Aca asiga nya mashūri, yiruka inyuma ya Eliya maze avuga ati: “Ndakwinginze ureke nsome dawe na mawe+. Ndaheza ngukurikire.” Aca amubwira ati: “Genda, subira inyuma; nakare nkugize iki?” 21 Nuko asubira inyuma areka kumukurikira maze afata amashūri abiri afatanijwe, ayatangako ikimazi+, hanyuma inyama z’ayo mashūri azitekesha ibikoresho+ vyayo vyo mu biti araheza aziha abantu, na bo batangura kurya. Inyuma y’ivyo arahaguruka hanyuma akurikira Eliya, atangura kumukorera+.
