18. Wathi kuEliya, Yintoni na enam nawe, mfo wakwaThixo? Uzé kum, ukuba undikhumbuze ubugwenxa bam, umbulale unyana wam?
19. Wathi kuye, Ndinike unyana wakho. Wamthabatha ke esifubeni sakhe, wenyuka naye, waya egumbini eliphezulu abehlala kulo, wamlalisa phezu kwesingqengqelo sakhe.
20. Wanqula uYehova, wathi, Yehova Thixo wam, ùmenzéle ububi nomhlolokazi lo na ndiphambukele kuye, ngokubulala unyana wakhe?
21. Wazolula phezu komntwana izihlandlo zazithathu, wanqula uYehova, wathi, Yehova Thixo wam, mawukhe ubuyele phakathi kwakhe umphefumlo walo mntwana.
22. Waliva uYehova ilizwi likaEliya; wabuyela phakathi kwakhe umphefumlo waloo mntwana, waphila.
23. Wamthabatha uEliya umntwana, wehla naye egumbini eliphezulu, waya endlwini, wamnika unina; wathi uEliya, Uyabona, úphilile unyana wakho.
24. Wathi loo mfazi kuEliya, Kaloku ke ndiyazi ukuba ungumfo wakwaThixo wena, nelizwi likaYehova elisemlonyeni wakho liyinyaniso.
