³Mbwenye ntumwi wa Baba wathu apanga Eliya wa ku Tisbe: “Lamuka, ndoko ugumane amithenga a mambo wa Samariya, mbuabvundza: ‘Kodi nkhabe Baba mu Izarayeli, toera iwe wende kabvundza Baali-zebhubhi, mulungu wa Ekroni?’”

⁴“Natenepo Baba wathu asalonga tenepa: ‘Nkhabe kubuluka pa ntanda udakwira iwe; unafa ndimomwene.’” Penepo Eliya aenda.

⁵Amithenga pidabwerera iwo kuna mambo, iye aabvundza: “Thangwi yanji mwabwerera?”

⁶Iwo atawira: “Mamuna m'bodzi abwera kudzatigumana, mbalonga: ‘Bwererani kuna mambo adakutumani, mbamumpanga: Baba wathu asalonga tenepa: Kodi nkhabe Baba mu Izarayeli, toera iwe utume anthu kakabvundza Baali-zebhubhi, mulungu wa Ekroni? Natenepo nkhabe kubuluka pa ntanda udakwira iwe; unafa ndimomwene.’”

⁷Mambo abvundza: “Munthu wa ntundu wanji ule adabwera kudzakugumanani, mbakupangani pyenepi?”

⁸Iwo alonga: “Akhadabvala nguwo ya mphumira, na nkhundiko wa n'khanda m'cibuno mwace.” Mambo alonga: “Ndi Eliya wa ku Tisbe.”

⁹Mambo atuma nkulu wa anyankhondo pabodzi na anyankhondo ace makhumi maxanu toera aende kuna Eliya. Nkulu unoyu akwira kuna iye, mu ndzidzi ukhakhala iye pa nsonga ya phiri, mbampanga: “Munthu wa Baba wathu, mambo asalonga tenepa: ‘Buluka pantsi.’”

¹⁰Eliya atawira nkulu wa anyankhondo: “Ndingakhala ndine munthu wa Baba wathu, moto ubuluke kudzulu, mbukupise iwe pabodzi na anyankhondo ako makhumi maxanu.” Penepo moto wabuluka kudzulu, mbapisa iye pabodzi na anyankhondo ace makhumi maxanu.

¹¹Pontho mambo atuma nkulu unango wa anyankhondo makhumi maxanu, ule alonga: “Munthu wa Baba wathu, mambo asalonga tenepa: ‘Buluka pantsi mwakucimbiza.’”

¹²Eliya atawira: “Ndingakhala ndine munthu wa Baba wathu, moto ubuluke kudzulu, mbukupise iwe pabodzi na anyankhondo ako makhumi maxanu.” Penepo moto wa Baba wathu wabuluka kudzulu, mbapisa iye pabodzi na anyankhondo ace makhumi maxanu.

¹³Mambo atuma nkulu wacitatu wa anyankhondo pabodzi na anyankhondo ace makhumi maxanu. Unoyu akwira, mbagodama patsogolo pa Eliya, mbadembetera: “Munthu wa Baba wathu, ndaphata miyendo, umaso wanga na umaso wa atumiki ako, anyankhondo awa makhumi maxanu, mbukhale wakufunika pa maso pako. ¹⁴Moto wabuluka kudzulu, mbapisa akulu awiri akutoma a anyankhondo pabodzi na anyankhondo awo makhumi maxanu. Cincino umaso wanga mbukhale wakufunika pa maso pako.”

¹⁵Ntumwi wa Baba wathu apanga Eliya: “Buluka naye pantsi; leka kumugopa.” Natenepo Eliya abuluka pabodzi na iye, mbaenda kuna mambo.

¹⁶Iye apanga mambo: “Baba wathu asalonga tenepa: Iwe watuma amithenga toera kabvundza Baali-zebhubhi, mulungu wa Ekroni—kodi nkhabe Baba mu Izarayeli toera kubvundza fala yace?—natenepo nkhabe kubuluka pa ntanda udakwira iwe; unafa ndimomwene.”

¹⁷Akaziya afa, ninga mukhalonga fala ya Baba wathu idalongwa kubulukira mwa Eliya. Nakuti Akaziya akhali na mwana wacimuna tayu, Yehorami atonga m'mbuto mwace, mu caka cacuiwiri ca Yehorami, mwana wa Yehosafati, mambo wa Yuda. ¹⁸Pyakucita pinango pya Akaziya, pidacita iye, kodi nkhabe kulembwa m'bukhu ya Mbiri za Amambo a Izarayeli?
