1 Mowabu anacigomera Israheli erhi Ahabu abà amâfà. 2 Akhaziyasi ahona oku idirisha lyàli liyûbake bunya lushangi, oku nyumpa yâge e Samâriya alemala bwenêne. Arhuma entumwa anacizibwîra erhi: «Mugende mujindôkeza Baal-Zebub, nyamuzinda w’obwîhambi w’Ekroni* erhi nankacintumwa eyi ndwâla». 3 Ci konene malahika wa Nyakasane anacibwîra Eliya w’e Tishibiti erhi: «Kanya washimânana mweshi na entumwa z’omwâmi w’e Samâriya, ozibwîre ntyâla erhi: Ka ntà Nyamuzinda ocibà omu Israheli obo mukola mwagend’idôsa Baal-Zebub nyamuzinda w’obwîhambi w’Ekroni? 4 “Co cirhumire Nyakasane aderha ntyâla: Eyôla ncingo washoneragako orhabungulukekwo, okunali wafà”». Eliya anacigenda.
5 Entumwa zashubiyisha zihindamusire zajà emunda mwâmi Akhaziyasi ali, anacizidosa erhi: «Okûla kugaluka kwinyu kuli kuderha kurhi?». 6 Banacimushuza mpu: «Omuntu amarhushimâna omu njira amarhubwîra erhi: Mugaluke mushubire emunda mwâmi wamurhumaga ali mujimubwîra erhi: Nyakasane adesire ntyâla: Ka omu Israheli murhacibà Nyamuzinda obwôla okola wâge ndidôsa Baal-Zebub w’Ekroni?». 7 Mwâmi anacibadôsa erhi: «oyôla muntu wamushimanaga anamubwîra ebyôla binwa kurhi anali ashushire?» 8 Banacimushuza mpu :«oyôla muntu anali ayambîrhe ecishûli c’amôya erhi ashwêkîre n'omukaba ecibunu». Okubundi anaciderha erhi: «Ali Eliya w’e Tishibiti».
9 Anacirhuma emunda ali omurhambo w’abantu makumi arhanu haguma n’abantu bâge mpu bajè emunda Eliya alamire oku ntondo mpu bagendimubwîra mpu: «Wâni muntu wa Nyamuzinda, mwâmi adesire mpu oyandagale»! 10 Eliya anacishuza olya warhambulaga omurhwe gwa bantu makumi arhanu erhi: «Akabà ndi muntu wa Nyamuzinda, omuliro gurhangibunguluka emalunga gukumalire n’omurhwe gwâwe gwa bantu makumi arhanu». Omuliro gwanacibunguluka e malunga gwanacimalîra balya bantu, omurhambo n’engabo yâge. 11 Mwâmi arhuma owundi warhambulaga makumi arhanu n’engabo yâge, naye anacijà emunda Eliya ali anacimubwîra erhi: «We muntu wa Nyamuzinda, mwâmi adesire mpu: Oyandagale duba»! 12 Eliya anacishuza erhi: «Akabà ndi muntu wa Nyamuzinda omuliro gurhangibunguluka e malunga gukumalire we n’engabo yâwe»! Omuliro gwanacibunguluka e malunga gwanacimalîra olya muntu boshi na balya bantu bâge makumi arhanu.
13 Kandi mwâmi anacirhuma owundi murhambo wa bantu makumi arhanu boshi n’engabo yâge. Olya murhambo wa kasharhu anacisôka na erhi ahika afukama embere za Eliya anacimubwirha erhi: «Muntu wa Nyamuzinda! Mâshi akalamo kâni na akalamo ka abâla bantu bâni okalange! 14 “Kali omuliro gwahonyire emalunga gwamalîra abarhambo bombi na engabo yâbo; lêro akalamo kâni karhone omu masù gâwe.”» 15 Malahika wa Nyakasane anacibwîra Eliya erhi: «Obunguluke mweshi naye orhamuyôbohaga». Eliya anacibunguluka lêro boshi naye anacijà emunda mwâmi ali. 16 Amubwîra, erhi: «Nyakasane adesire ntyâla: Ebwa kubà warhumire entumwa emwa Baal-Zebub w’Ekroni - nka kulya omu Israheli murhabà Nyamuzinda wankadôsize, co cirhumire okwôla ncingo washoneraga orhakubunguluke, ci okunali wafà»!
17 Akhaziyasi anacifà nk’oku Eliya anaderhaga akanwa ka Nyakasane, omu lumuna Yoramu - bulya arhali agwêrhe murhabana - anaciyîma ahâli hâge, omu mwâka gwa kabiri kurhenga Yoramu mwene Yozafati ali mwâmi e Yûda. 18 Ebisigîre oku bijiro bya Akhaziyasi, oku ajiraga, okwôla ka kurhali kuyandike omu citabu c’Empiriri z’abâmi b’omu Israheli?
