Kuvuswa Kwendvodzana Yemfelokati

Ngesikhatsi sesomiso Jehova watsi ku-Elija: ‘Hamba uye eSarefathi. Umfelokati lolapho utakunika kudla.’ Esangweni lalelidolobha, Elija wabona umfelokati atfota tinkhuni. Wacela emanti ekunatsa. Nakasayolandza lamanti lomfelokati, Elija wambita watsi: “Ngicela ungiphatsele nelucetu lwesinkhwa.” Lomfelokati waphendvula watsi: ‘Ngite sinkhwa, sengisele nafulaha lomncane kanye nemafutsa lamancane.’ Elija watsi kuye: ‘Jehova wetsembise kutsi nangabe wentela mine kucala lesinkhwa, fulaha wakho nemafutsa akho angeke aphele kuze kube ngulapho imvula ina.’

Ngako lomfelokati wabuyela ekhaya wafike wentela lomphrofethi waJehova sinkhwa. Njengobe Jehova abetsembisile, lomfelokati nendvodzana yakhe baba nekudla ngesikhatsi sesomiso. Fulaha wabo nemafutsa abo akuzange kuphele.

Kwase kwenteka intfo lebuhlungu. Lomntfwana walomfelokati wagula kakhulu futsi wafa. Lomfelokati wancenga Elija kutsi amsite. Elija watsatsa lomfana waya naye ekamelweni lelisetulu. Wafike wayilalisa embhedzeni wase uyathantaza utsi: ‘Jehova, ngicela aphindze aphile lomntfwana.’ Ucabanga kutsi kungani kumangalisa kutsi Jehova abengenta intfo lenje? Kungenca yekutsi kute umuntfu lobekake wavuswa ngaleso sikhatsi. Lomfelokati nalendvodzana yakhe bebangesiwo ngisho nema-Israyeli.

Kodvwa lomfana wavuka futsi wacala kuphefumula. Elija watsi kulomfelokati: “Buka-ke, indvodzana yakho seyiyaphila.” Lomfelokati wajabula kakhulu waze watsi ku-Elija: “Nyalo sengiyati kutsi ungumuntfu waNkulunkulu nekutsi livi laJehova leliphuma emlonyeni wakho liliciniso.”
