Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova uNkulunk ulu ka -Israyeli, uthi: Imbiza yempuphu ayikuphela , nophiso lwamafutha aluyikuswela kuze kufike lolo suku uJehova anisa ngalo imvula emhlabeni.

Kwathi ekupheleni kwezinsuku umfudlana washa , ngokuba yayingekho imvula ezweni. U-Eliya uyandisa impuphu namafutha

Kwathi emva kwezinsuku eziningi izwi likaJehova lafika ku -Eliya ngomnyaka wesithathu, lathi: Hamba uzibonakalise ku -Ahabi; ngiyakunisa imvula emhlabeni.

Kwathi ngesikhashana nje izulu laguqubala ngamafu nangomoya , lana imvula enkulu. U-Ahabi wakhwela inqola, waya eJizreyeli.

Lapho izulu livaliwe , imvula ingekho, ngokuba bonile kuwe , kepha bese bekhuleka bebhekene nale ndawo , balivume igama lakho , baphenduke esonweni sabo, ngokuba uyabajezisa,

mawuzwe wena ezulwin i, uthethelele isono sezinceku zakho nesabantu bakho u -Israyeli, lapho ubafundisa indlela enhle abayakuhamba ngayo , uthume imvula ezweni lakho obanike abantu bakho libe yifa labo.

Ngokuba uJehova usho kanje , uthi: Aniyikubona umoya , aniyikubona imvula, kepha lo mfula uyakugcwala amanzi; niyakuphuza nina, nezinkomo zenu, nezinye izilwane zenu.

Lapho izulu livaliwe , imvula ingekho, ngokuba bonile kuwe, kepha bese bekhuleka bebhekene nale ndawo , balivume igama lakho , baphenduke esonweni sabo, ngokuba uyabajezisa,

mawuzwe wena ezulwini , uthethelele isono sezinceku zakho nesabantu bakho u -Israyeli, lapho ubafundisa indlela enhle abayakuhamba ngayo , uthume imvula ezweni lakho obanike abantu bakho libe yifa labo.

osibekela izulu ngamafu , olungisela umhlaba imvula , ohlumisa utshani ezintabeni.

Uhambela umhlaba, unisa imvula , uwuvundisa kakhulu ; umfula kaNkulunkulu ugcwele amanzi ; ubalungisela abantu ukudla , ngokuba uwulungisa kanjalo umhlaba.

Wanisa imvula enkulu, Nkulunkulu; ifa lakho selahlulekile, waliqinisa.

Wabuye wakhuleka; izulu lana imvula, nomhlaba wathela izithelo zawo. Abadukisiweyo

Ngakho bekezelani, bazalwane, ize ifike iNkosi. Bhekani, umlimi uyalindela isithelo somhlaba esiyigugu , ebekezelela sona, size sithole imvula yokuqala neyamuva.

ngokuba bheka, ubusika budlulile; imvula isiphelile, yamuka;

Umoya wasenyakatho uyaletha imvula , nolimi olunyenyayo ubuso obuthukutheleyo.

Nokho akayekanga ukuzifakazela ngokwenza okuhle , waninika imvula yasezulwini nezikhathi zenala , egcwalisa izinhliziyo zenu ngokuhle nangokujabula.

Ngokuba umhlabathi , ophuze imvula efika kaningi phezu kwawo , umilisa imifino ebasizayo abawulinyelwayo, uyabusiswa nguNkulunkulu;

Wayesethi nakuzo izixuku : Nxa nibona ifu likhuphuka entshonalanga , masinyane nithi: Iyeza imvula, kube njalo.

ukuba nibe ngabant wana bakaYihlo osezulwini ; ngokuba yena uphumisa ilanga lakhe phezu kwababi nabahle , anise imvula phezu kwabalungileyo nabangalungile.

Layithela imvula , kwafika izikhukhula , kwavunguza imimoy a, yayishaya leyo ndlu; kepha kayiwanga, ngokuba yayisekelwe yidwala.

Layithela imvula , kwafika izikhukhula , kwavunguza imimoya , yayishaya leyo ndlu, yawa, kwaba kukhulu ukuwa kwayo!

Futhi ngagodla kini imvula , kusasele izinyanga ezintathu ukuba kuvunwe , ngalinisa phezu komunye umuzi , komunye umuzi angilinisanga ; esinye isiqephu saniselwa, nesiqephu esinganiselwanga sasha.

UFaro esebonile ukuthi imvula nesichotho nokuduma sekunqamukile , wabuye wona, wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo yakhe, yena nezinceku zakhe.

Uyakunika imbewu yakho oyakuyihlwanyela emhlabathini imvula , aveze nesinkwa ezithelweni zomhlabathi oyakuvunda, uthele kakhulu; ngalolo suku izinkomo zakho ziyakuklaba emadlelweni abanzi.

Uyazigawulela imisedari, athathe imikhoba nama -oki, awaqinise phakathi kwemithi yehlathi; uyatshala umfire, imvula iwukhulise.

Ngiyakusenza sibe yincithakalo ; asiyikuthenwa, asiyikulinywa, kepha kuyakuvela amakhakhasi nameva ; futhi ngiyakuyala amafu ukuba anganisi imvula phezu kwaso.

ngiyakuninika imvula yezwe lakini ngesikhathi sayo , imvula yokuqala nemvula yamuva, ukuba ubuthe amabele akho , newayini lakho, namafutha akho.

UJehova uyakukuvulela indlu yakhe yengcebo , izulu, anise imvula yezwe lakho ngesikhathi sayo , abusise wonke umsebenzi wesandla sakho ; uyakutsheleka izizwe eziningi, kepha ungatsheleki lutho kuzo.

UJehova uyakwenza imvula yezwe lakho ibe ngumsizi nothuli ; kuyakwehla ezulwini, kufike phezu kwakho, uze ubhujiswe.

Kwakungakabikho sihlahla endle , namifino yayingakamili emhlabathini , ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wayengakan isi imvula emhlabeni , kungakabikho muntu wokulima umhlabathi.

Ngokuba emva kwezinsuku eziyisikhombisa ngiyakunisa imvula emhlabeni izinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane , ngichithe ebusweni bomhlaba konke okuphilayo engikwenzileyo.

Imithombo yotwa namafasitele asezulwini kwavinjwa , imvula yasezulwini yaphela.

yisho kwabanamekayo ukuthi luyakuwa ; kuyakuwa imvula ekhukhulayo ; nina matshe esichotho niyakuwa, nomoya wesivunguvungu uyakuludabula.

Ngiyakuzenza zona nezindawo ezizungeza intaba yami zibe yisibusiso , ngehlise imvula ngesikhathi sayo, ibe yizihlambi zesibusiso.

Ngiyakumahlulela ngesifo nangegazi , nginise phezu kwakhe , namaviyo akhe, nabantu abaningi abanaye , imvula ekhukhulayo, namatshe esichotho, nomlilo, nesibabule.

Lapho elizwakalisa izwi lakhe , kungukuhlokoma kwamanzi ezulwini; uzikhuphula izinkungu emikhawulweni yomhlaba , enzele imvula unyazi , awukhiphe umoya endlini yengcebo.

Kukhona yini phakathi kwawonkulunkul u babezizwe abayize onganisa imvula? Amazulu angaletha izihlambi na? Akusuwe Jehova esiyakukuhlalela na? Ngokuba wena wenzile konke lokhu.

Lapho elizwakalisa izwi lakhe , kungukuhlokoma kwamanzi ezulwini ; uzikhuphula izinkungu emikhawulweni yomhla ba, enzele imvula unyazi , awukhiphe umoya endlini yengcebo.

Futhi abasho ezinhliziyweni zabo ukuthi: Ake sesabe uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu onika imvula eyokuqala neyamuva ngesikhathi sayo , asigcinele amasonto anqunyiweyo akuvuna.

lapho enzela imvula isimiso, nonyazi lokuduma indlela,

Bangilindela njengemvula; bangikhamisela imilomo yab o njengokukhamisela imvula yamuva.

ukunisa imvula emhlaben i lapho kungekho muntu khona , nasehlane elingenamuntu,

yena onisa imvula emhlabeni, athume amanzi ebusweni bamasimu,

Jabulani, bantwana baseSiyoni , nithokoze kuJehova uNkulunkulu wenu , ngokuba uninika imvula yokuqala ngokulunga , unehlisela imvula, eyokuqala neyamuva, njengasekuqaleni.

ngiyakuninika imvula ngesikhathi sayo , izwe lithele ukudla kwalo , imithi yasendle ithele izithelo zayo.

Celani kuJehova imvula ngesikhathi semvula yamuva , uJehova owenza imibani, abesebanika izihlambi zemvula , yilowo nalowo aphiwe utshani ezweni lakhe.

Uma amafu egcwele imvula , ayayithulula emhlabeni ; futhi uma kuwa umuthi ngaseningizim u noma ngasenyakatho, endaweni lapho uwa khona umuthi, uyakuba lapho.
