Malahika muguma amuzusa anamubwira ntya n’obutudu: ‘Zuka olye.’ Eliya abona omugati gw’omuviringo guli oku mabuye madurhu n’akabindi k’amishi. Alya ananywa anashubigend’igwishira. Malahika ashub’imuzusa anaderha ntya: ‘Olye. Olagirire oku misi bulya wajira omubalamo mulî.’ Ntyo Eliya ashub’ilya. Enyuma z’aho Eliya alambagira nsiku 40 mushi n’obudufu, ahika oku Ntondo Horebu. Erhi Eliya ali eyo munda aja omu lwala ly’agwishira. Cikone Yehova amuganiza. Aderha ntya: ‘Eliya , bici oli wajira hano?’ Eliya ashuza ntya: ‘Abaisraheli bavunyire eciragane bakuhâga. Basherezize amazabahu gawe bananiga abalebi bawe. Na buno bali balonza okuniga nani.’

Yehova amubwira ntya: ‘Ogende oyimange oku ntondo.’ Burhangiriza, empusi nnene yagera enyanya z’olo lwala. Enyuma z’aho, haba omusisi gw’idaho na kandi haba omuliro. Buzinda, Eliya ayumva izu lisungunu na lya butudu. Acibwikira obusu n’igoti lyage anayimanga embuga z’olo lwala. Enyuma z’aho Yehova amudosa bici byarhumire ayâka. Eliya ashuza ntya: ‘Niene ncisigire.’ Cikone Yehova amubwira ntya: ‘Orhali wene. Hacili bantu 7 000 omu Israheli bali bamparamya. Ogende ojihiraho Elisha abe mulebi ahali hawe.’ Ho n’aho, Eliya agend’ijira nk’oku Yehova anamubwiraga. K’orhanyize oku nawe Yehova anakurhabala amango oli wajira ebi alonzize ojire? Neci, anakurhabala. Rhulabe akandi kantu kajirikine omu mango enkuba erhacikag’inia.
