Umwana w’umugore w’umupfakazi azuka

Mu gihe imvura yari yaranze kugwa hagatera inzara, Yehova yabwiye Eliya ati: “Jya i Sarefati. Uzasangayo umugore w’umupfakazi uzajya aguha ibyokurya.” Akigera ku marembo y’umujyi, yabonye umupfakazi w’umukene atoragura inkwi. Yaramusabye ngo agende amuzanire amazi yo kunywa mu gikombe. Uwo mugore agiye kuyazana, Eliya yaramubwiye ati: “Ndakwinginze unzanire n’umugati.” Ariko uwo mupfakazi yaramusubije ati: “Nta mugati mfite. Nsigaranye gusa agafu gake n’utuvuta duke. Ngiye kureba icyo nateka, nkakirya n’umuhungu wanjye.” Eliya yaramubwiye ati: “Yehova yasezeranyije ko nuntekera umugati, ifu n’amavuta yawe bitazashira kugeza igihe imvura izongera kugwa.”

Uwo mupfakazi yagiye iwe atekera uwo muhanuzi wa Yehova umugati. Nk’uko Yehova yari yarabivuze, uwo mupfakazi n’umuhungu we ntibigeze babura ibyokurya muri icyo gihe imvura yari yaranze kugwa. Ikibindi yabikagamo ifu n’akabindi gato yabikagamo amavuta byahoraga byuzuye.

Icyakora, hari ikintu kibabaje cyaje kuba. Umuhungu w’uwo mupfakazi yararwaye cyane maze arapfa. Uwo mupfakazi yinginze Eliya ngo amufashe. Eliya yateruye uwo mwana amujyana mu cyumba cyo hejuru maze amuryamisha ku buriri. Yarasenze ati: “Yehova, ndakwinginze tuma uyu mwana yongera kuba muzima.” Ese uzi impamvu icyo cyari kuba ari ikintu gitangaje Yehova yari kuba akoze? Ni ukubera ko bwari kuba ari ubwa mbere umuntu azutse. Ikindi kandi, uwo mupfakazi n’umuhungu we ntibari Abisirayeli.

Icyakora uwo mwana yongeye kuba muzima, atangira guhumeka! Eliya yabwiye uwo mupfakazi ati: “Dore umwana wawe ni muzima.” Yarishimye cyane abwira Eliya ati: “Uri umuntu w’Imana koko. Mbyemejwe n’uko buri gihe uvuga ibyo Yehova yakubwiye kandi ibyo uvuze biraba.”
