19 Ebiya Ahaba+ wasapwila Yezebele+ byonso byalongele Ediya ne mwawaipaile bapolofeto bonso na kipete.+ 2 Ponkapo Yezebele watuma mukendi kudi Ediya amba: “Baleza banongele monka ne kubweja’ko shi kesha mu kino kitatyi’ki nkikulongelepo pamo bwa umo ne umo* wa mu abo!” 3 Penepo wazakala, wataluka wanyema mwanda wa kupandija būmi bwandi.*+ Wafika ku Bela-Sheba+ kibundi kya Yuda,+ washiya’ko mwingidi wandi. 4 Waenda lwendo lwa difuku dimo mu ntanda mutuputupu, wafika washikata munshi mwa kamutyi ka jené, penepa walomba’mba afwe.* Kanena’mba: “Kubapu! Pano, a Yehova, talula būmi bwami,*+ mwanda ami nkitabukilepo bakulutuba bami.”
5 Penepo walāla ne kuponena mu tulo bukū munshi mwa kamutyi ka jené. Ino mu kitulumukila mwikeulu wamutenga+ kamunena’mba: “Languka udye.”+ 6 Aye pa kutala, wamona ku mitwe mukate mujokoloke pa mabwe makabe ne kalondo ka mema. Wadya watoma kupwa walāla monka. 7 Ebiya mwikeulu wa Yehova waiya monka musunsa wa bubidi wamutenga kanena’mba: “Languka udye, mwanda lwendo lusa kukulepela bininge.” 8 Ponkapo walanguka, wadya watoma, na bukomo bwa byakudya’bya waenda mafuku 40 dyuba ne bufuku enka ne byaafikile ku Holeba, lūlu lwa Leza wa bine.+
9 Kwine’kwa watwela mu mutá+ walāla’mo bufuku; ino tala! kinenwa kya Yehova kyaiya kwadi, kyamusapwila’mba: “Le i bika byolonga kuno, a Ediya?” 10 Ebiya nandi amba: “Nadi mpyasakene na mutyima onso pa mwanda wa Yehova Leza wa bibumbo;+ mwanda bantu ba Isalela abaela kipwano kyobe,+ ababundula bisōkelo byobe, abaipaya ne bapolofeto bobe na kipete,+ ami kete ye washala’ko. Pano bakimbanga kuyata būmi bwami.”*+ 11 Ino Aye wamunena’mba: “Tamba, kemane pa lūlu ku meso a Yehova.” Ino tala! Yehova wadi upita+ kadi kivula kikatampe kadi kikomo kyadi kilala ngulu ne kulalakanya mabwe ku meso a Yehova,+ ino Yehova kadipo mu kivula’mwa. Kupwa kwa kivula, kwaikala kutenkana kwa ntanda,+ ino Yehova kadipo mu kutenkana kwa ntanda’kwa. 12 Kupwa kwa kutenkana kwa ntanda, kwaikala mudilo,+ ino Yehova kadipo mu mudilo’mwa. Kupwa kwa mudilo, kwaiya diwi dityetye kadi ditūke.+ 13 Ediya pa kwivwana’tu dino diwi, wepamba kivwalwa kyandi kya bupolofeto+ mu mpala, kupwa watamba waimana pa kibelo kya mutá. Penepa diwi dyamwipangula’mba: “Le i bika byolonga kuno, a Ediya?” 14 Ebiya nandi amba: “Nadi mpyasakene na mutyima onso pa mwanda wa Yehova Leza wa bibumbo; mwanda bantu ba Isalela abaela kipwano kyobe,+ ababundula bisōkelo byobe, abaipaya ne bapolofeto bobe na kipete, ami kete ye washala’ko. Pano bakimbanga kuyata būmi bwami.”*+
15 Yehova wamunena’mba: “Joka, enda mu ntanda mutuputupu ya Damakasa. Shi ubafika, shinga Hazaele+ māni ekale mulopwe pa Shidea. 16 Kadi ufwaninwe kushinga Yehu+ māni, munkanā Nimishi ekale mulopwe pa Isalela, ufwaninwe kushinga ne Edisha* māni mwanā Shafata wa ku Abele-Mehola ekale mupolofeto wa kukupingakena.+ 17 Yewa upanda ku kipete kya Hazaele,+ Yehu ukamwipaya;+ ne yewa upanda ku kipete kya Yehu, Edisha ukamwipaya.+ 18 Kadi nakishele na bantu 7 000 mu Isalela,+ boba bonso kebafukatyilepo Bāla+ mu manwi ne boba kebaikelepo kumufifya na byakanwa.”+
19 Ebiya watamba kwine’kwa watana Edisha mwanā Shafata paadi udima na bisumpi 12 bya bañombe babidi babidi kumeso kwandi, aye mwine wadi na kisumpi kya 12. Penepo Ediya waenda kwaadi wamwela kivwalwa kyandi kya bupolofeto.+ 20 Ponkapo washiya bañombe walonda Ediya lubilo kanena’mba: “Nakwisāshila, leka bidi nkafifye ba tata ne mama. Kupwa kenkulonda.” Nandi wamutentulula’mba: “Enda kajoke, le nalonga kika kya kukukankaja?” 21 Ebiya wajoka wasela lupungu lumo lwa bañombe webalambula, wasōka mityi ya lukasu ne lupungu watēka nayo mwita wa bañombe’ba, wapa’o bantu nabo badya. Kupwa wataluka wakalonda Ediya kamwingidila.+
