“Bukani la, ngiyawunitfumelela umphrofethi Elija, lingakefiki lelo langa lelikhulu nalelesabekako laSimakadze.
Makho 6:15 - Siswati 1996 Bible Kodvwa labanye babetsi: “Ngu-Elija.” Labanye batsi: “Ngumphrofethi njengalabanye baphrofethi bakadzeni.” |
“Bukani la, ngiyawunitfumelela umphrofethi Elija, lingakefiki lelo langa lelikhulu nalelesabekako laSimakadze.
Bamphendvula batsi: “Labanye batsi inguJohane uMbhabhatisi, labanye batsi ingu-Elija, kantsi labanye batsi inguJeremiya nome ingulomunye nje webaphrofethi.”
Kodvwa Herodi, nakeva ngesimo setintfo, watsi: “Johane, lengamjuba inhloko, sewuvusiwe, uyaphila.”
Bamtjela batsi: “Batsi unguJohane uMbhabhatisi, kantsi labanye batsi ungu-Elija; labanye batsi: ‘Ngulomunye nje webaphrofethi.’ ”
Uyawuhamba embikwakhe ngemoya nangemandla njengemphrofethi Elija. Uyawuhlanganisa boyise nebantfwana babo babuye babe nebudlelwane, agucule bantfu labangalaleli babe ngulabalungile; uyakwenta bantfu balungele kuta kweNkhosi yabo.”
Bonkhe bantfu bafikelwa kwesaba, badvumisa Nkulunkulu batsi: “Sifikelwe ngumphrofethi lomkhulu!” Baphindze batsi: “Nkulunkulu sewubahambele bantfu bakhe!”
Nakabona loko lomFarisi lobekameme Jesu, watsi enhlitiyweni yakhe: “Kube lomuntfu ungumphrofethi ngempela, ngabe uyati kutsi ungubani lomfati lomtsintsako. Ngabe uyati kutsi uphila imphilo leyonakele kangakanani.”
Bafundzi bamphendvula batsi: “Labanye batsi unguJohane uMbhabhatisi, labanye batsi ungu-Elija, kantsi labanye batsi ungulomunye webaphrofethi basendvulo uvukile ekufeni.”
labanye bebatsi ngu-Elija lotibonakalisile; kantsi labanye bebatsi ngulomunye webaphrofethi basendvulo lovuke ekufeni.
Bambuta batsi: “Pho, ungubani? Ungu-Elija yini?” Waphendvula watsi: “Cha, angisiye.” Bambuta batsi: “Ungumphrofethi yini?” Waphendvula watsi: “Cha.”
Bambuta-ke batsi: “Pho, ubhabhatiselani nangabe awusiye Khristu, nome Elija, nome umphrofethi?”
Kwatsi bantfu nababona lesibonakaliso lasenta Jesu, batsi: “Impela, lona ngumphrofethi labefanele kuta emhlabeni.”
Batsi nabaweva lamavi, labanye kulabo bantfu batsi: “Ngempela lomuntfu ungumphrofethi.”
Ngako baFarisi baphindza bayibuta lendvodza batsi: “Wena utsini ngaye, njengaloku avule emehlo akho nje?” Yona yaphendvula yatsi: “Ungumphrofethi.”
