2 Awe Ahasia aliponene+ ukupula mu cafimbile pa mutenge wa muputule wakwe uwa pa muulu+ mu Samaria, e fyo atampile no kulwala. E ico atumine inkombe no kusheba ukuti: “Kabiyeni, kepusheni+ kuli Baali-sebubi+ lesa wa ku Ekrone+ nga nkapola ku bulwele ubu.”+ 3 Lelo malaika+ wa kwa Yehova aebele Eliya umwina Tishbe+ ati: “Ima, kabiye kakumanye inkombe sha mfumu ya ku Samaria no kusheba ukuti, ‘Bushe ni pa mulandu wa kuti tamwaba Lesa+ muli Israele e co muleila mu kwipushisha kuli Baali-sebubi lesa wa ku Ekrone? 4 E ico Yehova atila: “Tawakeme pa busanshi bobe apo uleele, pantu ukufwa kwena ukafwa.”’”+ Awe Eliya aliimine no kuya.

5 Ilyo inkombe shabwelele, apo pene ashipwishe ati: “Cinshi mwabwelela?” 6 Na sho shamwebele ati: “Kuli umuntu uwacisatukumanya, kabili acitweba ati, ‘Bwelelenimo ku mfumu iimutumine, kabili muyebe amuti: “Yehova atila,+ ‘Bushe ni pa mulandu wa kuti tamwaba Lesa muli Israele e co uletumina aba kuyaipusha kuli Baali-sebubi lesa wa ku Ekrone? E ico tawakeme pa busanshi apo uleele, pantu ukufwa kwena ukafwa.’”’”+ 7 Na o aipwishe inkombe ati: “Bushe umuntu uwaishile ku kumukumanya alemoneka shani?” 8 Na sho shayaswike ashiti: “Afwele ica kufwala ca masako,+ no mushipi wa mpapa mu musana.”+ Ne mfumu apo pene yatile: “Ni Eliya umwina Tishbe.”

9 E lyo yatumine umukalamba waleangalila abaume amakumi yasano (50), na o aile na bantu bakwe abali amakumi yasano.+ Ilyo afikile kuli Eliya, amusangile naikala pa lupili. Kabili amwebele ati: “We muntu wa kwa Lesa wa cine,+ imfumu yasosa aiti, ‘Ika.’” 10 Lelo Eliya ayaswike no kweba umukalamba waleangalila abaume amakumi yasano (50) ati: “Cisuma, kanshi nga ndi muntu wa kwa Lesa, umulilo+ naufume ku muulu no koca iwe na baume bobe abali amakumi yasano.” No mulilo wafumine ku muulu no kumoca na baume amakumi yasano abo ali na bo.+

11 Kabili yatumine umukalamba na umbi uwaleangalila abaume amakumi yasano (50) na o aile na bantu bakwe abali amakumi yasano.+ E lyo amwebele ukuti: “We muntu wa kwa Lesa wa cine, imfumu yasosa aiti, ‘Ika bwangu.’”+ 12 Lelo Eliya ayaswike no kubeba ukuti: “Cisuma, kanshi nga ndi muntu wa kwa Lesa, umulilo naufume ku muulu no koca iwe na baume bobe abali amakumi yasano (50).” No mulilo wa kwa Lesa wafumine ku muulu no kumoca na baume amakumi yasano abo ali na bo.

13 Kabili yatumine umukalamba na umbi uwa butatu uwaleangalila abaume amakumi yasano (50) na o aile na bantu bakwe abali amakumi yasano.+ Lelo ena ailefukama+ pa ntanshi ya kwa Eliya, alamupapaata+ ukuti amupaale, no kumweba ati: “We muntu wa kwa Lesa wa cine, leka umweo+ wandi ne myeo ya babomfi bobe aba abali amakumi yasano ibe iyacindama+ mu menso yobe. 14 Mona, umulilo ufumine ku muulu no koca+ abakalamba babili aba kubalilapo abaleangalila abaume amakumi yasano (50) na bantu babo amakumi yasano, nomba leka umweo wandi ube uwacindama mu menso yobe.”

15 E lyo malaika wa kwa Yehova aebele Eliya ati: “Ika kabiye nankwe. Wimutiina iyo.”+ E ico alimine, aika no kuya nankwe ku mfumu. 16 Kabili atile ku mfumu: “Yehova atila, ‘Bushe ni pa mulandu wa kuti tamwaba Lesa wa kwipushako muli Israele, e co watumine inkombe+ sha kuyaipusha kuli Baali-sebubi lesa wa ku Ekrone?+ E ico tawakeme pa busanshi apo uleele, pantu ukufwa kwena ukafwa.’” 17 Kabili umuya inshiku alifwile,+ ukulingana na mashiwi+ ya kwa Yehova ayo Eliya asosele; na Yehoramu+ alimupyene no kutendeka ukuteka, mu mwaka walenga bubili uwa kwa Yehoramu+ mwana Yehoshafati imfumu ya kwa Yuda, pantu takwete umwana umwaume.
