Amafutha Omfelokazi

1 Umfazi wenye indoda phakathi kwexuku labaphrofethi wakhalaza ku-Elisha wathi, "Indoda yami ebiyinceku yakho isifile, njalo uyakwazi ukuthi ibe imkhonza uThixo. Umkami ubelesikwelede sendoda ethile esifuna ukuthumba amadodana ami amabili ukuze abe yizigqili zayo."

2 U-Elisha wamphendula wathi, "Ngingakunceda kanjani na? Akungitshele, kulani endlini yakho?"

Umfelokazi wathi, "Incekukazi yakho ayilalutho ngaphandle kwengcosana yamafutha."

3 U-Elisha wasesithi, "Hamba uyekweboleka imbiza ezinengi kubomakhelwane bakho bonke. Ungaceli ezilutshwane nje. 4 Ubusungena endlini yakho lamadodana akho uvale umnyango. Ubusuthululela amafutha embizeni inye nganye, ithi ingagcwala uyibeke eceleni."

5 Wasuka kuye kwathi ngemva kwesikhathi wavala umnyango lamadodana akhe. Amadodana amqhubela imbiza yena elokhu ezigcwalisa ngamafutha. 6 Kuthe imbiza zonke sezigcwele, wathi endodaneni yakhe, "Letha enye futhi."

Kodwa yaphendula yathi, "Akuselambiza eseleyo." Amafutha kazabe esajuluka.

7 Wasuka wayatshela umuntu kaNkulunkulu, owathi, "Hamba uyethengisa amafutha lawo ubhadale izikwelede zakho. Wena lamadodana akho lizaphila ngaseleyo."
