18 Kitatyi kampanda pa kupita’po, mu mwaka wa busatu,+ kinenwa kya Yehova kyaiya kudi Ediya amba: “Enda, kelombole kudi Ahaba kadi nsa kutuma mvula pa nshi.”+ 2 Penepo Ediya wakelombola kudi Ahaba, papo kipupo kya nzala kyadi kikomo bininge+ mu Samadia.

3 Mu kine kitatyi’kya, Ahaba waita Obadia, mwine wadi utala ba mu njibo. (Ino Obadia wadi utyina Yehova bininge, 4 kadi Yezebele+ paadi wipaya* bapolofeto ba Yehova, Obadia wayete bapolofeto 100 webafya 50 mu mutá, 50 mu mutá, wadi wibapa mikate ne mema.) 5 Kupwa Ahaba wanena Obadia amba: “Enda upita mu ntanda ku masulo onso a mema ne mu misanza* yonso. Padi tubwanya kutana’ko biyombo mwanda wa kulama tubalwe ne bimbulu byūmi, kutyina’mba banyema betu bonso bakafwa.” 6 Ebiya beabanya ntanda ya kwenda’mo. Ahaba waenda dyandi bunka, Obadia nandi waenda dishinda dikwabo bunka.

7 Obadia paadi mu dishinda, Ediya wamusambakana. Ponkapo wamujiula, wapona mpala panshi kanena’mba: “I abe yao, a mfumwami Ediya?”+ 8 Nandi wamulondolola’mba: “I ami. Enda ukasapwile mfumobe amba: ‘Ediya udi kuno.’” 9 Ino aye wamunena’mba: “Le i bubi’ka bonalonga pa kusaka’mba upāne mwingidi obe kudi Ahaba amba angipaye? 10 Bine ne Yehova Leza obe byadi mūmi, kekudipo muzo nansha bulopwe kekwatuminwepo muntu na mfumwami kukukimba. Pobanenene amba, ‘Kadipo kuno,’ wanenene bulopwe ne muzo batyipe amba kebabwenyepo kukutana.+ 11 Ino pano konena’mba, ‘Enda ukasapwile mfumobe amba: “Ediya udi kuno.”’ 12 Shi tubeshiye nobe, mushipiditu wa Yehova usa kukuselela+ ku kifuko konkiyukilepo, kadi shi nasapwila Ahaba ino aye kakikutenepo, bine usa kungipaya. Ino, mwingidi obe utyinanga Yehova tamba pa bwanuke. 13 Le kebalombwelepo mfumwami byonalongele paipaile Yezebele bapolofeto ba Yehova, monafidile bapolofeto 100 ba Yehova mu bisumpi bya bantu 50 mu mutá nebapa nyeke mikate ne mema?+ 14 Ino pano konena’mba, ‘Enda ukasapwile mfumobe amba: “Ediya udi kuno.”’ Na bubine usa kungipaya.” 15 Ino Ediya wanena’mba: “Bine ne Yehova wa bibumbo mwine oñingidila* byadi mūmi, dyalelo nsa kukelombola kwadi.”

16 Penepo Obadia waenda kuketana na Ahaba wamusapwila’mo, Ahaba nandi waenda kuketana na Ediya.

17 Ahaba pa kumona’tu Ediya, wamunena’mba: “I abe yao, muntu uleta kavutakanya* kakatampe mu Isalela?”

18 Nandi watentulula’mba: “Ke amipo uleta kavutakanya mu Isalela, ino i abe ne njibo ya shobe, mwanda mubaleka mbila ya Yehova kemulonda Babāla.+ 19 Shi ke pano kongakenya Isalela ense kondi pa Lūlu lwa Kalamela,+ pamo ne bapolofeto 450 ba Bāla ne bapolofeto 400 ba ku kipanda kikola,*+ boba badyanga ku meza a Yezebele.” 20 Ebiya Ahaba watumina bantu bonso ba Isalela musapu, wabungila ne bapolofeto pamo ku Lūlu lwa Kalamela.

21 Kupwa Ediya wafwena kudi bantu bonso kanena’mba: “Le mukekala na mifutu ibidi*+ kufika ne kitatyi’ka? Shi Yehova ye Leza wa bine, nabya mulondei; ino shi i Bāla, nabya mulondei!”+ Ino bantu kebamutentulwilepo kishima nansha kimo. 22 Ebiya Ediya wanena bantu amba: “Ami ye mupolofeto wa Yehova ushele’ko kete,+ ino bapolofeto ba Bāla i bana-balume 450. 23 Betupe byana bya ñombe bibidi, kadi batonge kyana kya ñombe kimo bekisaye bisesobiseso ne kwikitenteka pa nkuni, ino kebafwaninwepo kwela’po mudilo. Nami nsa kuteakanya kyana kya ñombe nekitūle pa nkuni, ino nkisapo kwela’po mudilo. 24 Penepo mufwaninwe kwita pa dijina dya leza wenu,+ nami nsa kwita pa dijina dya Yehova. Leza ukalondolola na mudilo’wa ye ukemwekeja’mba i Leza wa bine.”+ Ponkapo bantu bonso balondolola’mba: “Byowanena i biyampe.”

25 Ebiya Ediya wanena bapolofeto ba Bāla amba: “Tongai kyana kya ñombe kimo, mubadikile kwikiteakanya, mwanda mwi bangi. Kupwa mwite pa dijina dya leza wenu, ino kemufwaninwepo kwela’po mudilo.” 26 Nabo bayata kyana kya ñombe kyobebapele, bekiteakanya, kebete’nka kwita pa dijina dya Bāla tamba lubanga kutūla ne dyuba mu mitwe amba: “A Bāla, witwitabe!” Ino kekwadipo diwi nansha muntu wa kwibalondolola.+ Badi badyomboka’nka kudyomboka kufulakufula kwa kisōkelo kyobalongele. 27 Kufika kubwipi na dyuba mu mitwe Ediya waanza kwibazawila’mba: “Itai na diwi dyenu dyonso! Mwanda aye i leza!+ Padi ye uno ulanga bininge nansha padi ye uno mwende kufula.* Pakwabo padi ye uno ulēle, usakilwa bakamulangule!” 28 Badi beta na diwi dyabo dyonso beketa na mpete ne mikobe, mungya kyabo kibidiji, enka ne byebasosele mashi pa ngitu yonso. 29 Dyuba dyadi ke dipite mu mitwe kadi abo badi bakibotakanya* kufika ne kitatyi kilambulwanga kyamulambu kya miseke kya kyolwa, ino kekwadipo diwi nansha muntu wa kwibalondolola; ne wa kwibata mutyima mwine.+

30 Mfulo mfulō Ediya wanena bantu bonso amba: “Mfwenei.” Penepo bantu bonso bamufwena. Ebiya walongolola kisōkelo kya Yehova kyabundwilwe’kya.+ 31 Kupwa Ediya wayata mabwe 12 mungya bungi bwa bisaka bya Yakoba, mwine obasapwidile kudi Yehova amba: “Uketwa dijina dya bu Isalela.”+ 32 Waubaka kisōkelo+ na mabwe’a mu dijina dya Yehova. Kupwa wakola luvwa kufulakufula kwa kisōkelo, kipindi kikatampe kibwanya kukunwa’po bipimo bya sea* bibidi bya nkunwa. 33 Kupwa waala nkuni senene, wasaya kyana kya ñombe bisesobiseso wekitūla pa nkuni.+ Ebiya wanena’mba: “Dingai mema mu milondo mikatampe iná mwiapungulwile pa kyamulambu kisōkwe ne pa nkuni.” 34 Kupwa wanena’mba: “Longai’kyo monka.” Nabo balonga’kyo monka. Kadi webanena dikwabo amba: “Longai’kyo musunsa wa busatu.” Nabo balonga’kyo musunsa wa busatu. 35 Penepo mema ajokoloka ku kisōkelo konso, kadi wayuja ne mema mu luvwa’lwa.

36 Kubwipi na kitatyi kilambulwanga kyamulambu+ kya miseke, mupolofeto Ediya wafwena kanena’mba: “A Yehova, Leza wa Abalahama,+ wa Izake,+ ne wa Isalela, dyalelo kiyukwe amba abe wi Leza mu Isalela ne amba ami ne mwingidi obe, ne kadi amba nalonga bino byonso mungya kinenwa kyobe.+ 37 Ngitabe, a Yehova! Ngitabe amba bano bantu bayuke amba abe, Yehova, ye Leza wa bine ne amba abe ujokejanga mityima yabo kodi.”+

38 Ponkapo mudilo wa Yehova wapona mūlu waloteja kyamulambu kisōkwe,+ ne nkuni, ne mabwe, ne luvumbi, walambidila ne mema adi mu luvwa mene.+ 39 Bantu bonso pa kumona kino, bapona ponka na ponka mapala pa nshi kebanena’mba: “Yehova ye Leza wa bine! Yehova ye Leza wa bine!” 40 Penepa Ediya webanena’mba: “Kwatai bapolofeto ba Bāla! Kemwakinyemejai muntu nansha umo!” Ponkapo bebakwata, ebiya Ediya watūkila nabo ku kamunonga* ka Kishone+ webatapila kwine’kwa.+

41 Penepo Ediya wanena Ahaba amba: “Kanda, dyá utome, mwanda kudi mikungulo ya kinya kikatampe kya mvula.”+ 42 Ebiya Ahaba wakanda, wadya watoma, papo Ediya nandi wakanda pa nsongo ya Kalamela wafukama pa nshi, ubandamine mpala pa bukata bwa manwi andi.+ 43 Kupwa wanena mwingidi wandi amba: “Kanda’po bidi utale dya ku dijiba.” Nandi wakanda watala kanena’mba: “I kutupu kintu nansha kimo.” Ediya wamunena misunsa isamba-ibidi amba, “Jokela’ko.” 44 Musunsa wa busamba-bubidi mwingidi wandi wanena’mba: “Tala! Kudi kadikumbi kadi pamo bwa dikasa dya muntu kakanda katamba pa dijiba.” Penepo nandi amba: “Enda, kasapwile Ahaba amba, ‘Teakanya dikalo! Tūka kutyina’mba mvula wakakujikila!’” 45 Mu kine kitatyi’kya, dikumbi dyafinda fututu mūlu, kivula kyatetuka, kwanoka ne kinya kikatampe kya mvula;+ papo Ahaba wadi’nka ukandile wenda ku Yezelele.+ 46 Ino kuboko kwa Yehova kwaiya padi Ediya, weninga* kivwalwa kyandi mu kifuka wanyema lubilo ku meso a Ahaba kufika’nka ne ku Yezelele.
