Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻIlaisiā ke fakahā ia kia ʻEhapi. Pea naʻe lahi ʻae honge ʻi Samēlia.
3 O nwere otu nwoke na-elekọta ihe dị nʼezinaụlọ Ehab. Aha ya bụ Ọbadaya. (Ọ bụ nwoke ji obi ya niile kwere na Onyenwe anyị.
Pea naʻe ui ʻe ʻEhapi kia ʻOpataia, ʻaia naʻe pule ʻi hono fale: (ka ko eni, naʻe manavahē lahi ʻa ʻOpataia kia Sihova:
4 Mgbe eze nwanyị bụ Jezebel na-egbu ndị amụma Onyenwe anyị chọọ igbuchapụ ha, ọ bụ Ọbadaya zoro narị ndị amụma nʼime ha nʼime ọgba nkume. O zoro iri ndị amụma ise nʼotu ọgba nkume, zookwa iri ndị amụma ise fọdụrụ nʼime ọgba nkume ọzọ. Emesịa, ọ na-ewegara ha nri na mmiri nʼebe ahụ.)
He naʻe pehē, ʻi heʻene tāmateʻi ʻe Sisipeli ʻae kau palōfita ʻa Sihova, naʻe ʻave ʻae kau palōfita ʻe toko teau ʻe ʻOpataia, ʻo ne fakafufū ʻakinautolu ko e taki nimangofulu ʻi ha ʻana, mo ne fafanga kinautolu ʻaki ʻae mā pea mo e vai.)
5 Ehab kpọrọ Ọbadaya sị ya, “Jegharịa nʼala a niile nyochapụta na ndagwurugwu na isi iyi niile, ebe ahịhịa ndụ dị. Gbutere ịnyịnya na ịnyịnya muul m ahịhịa ahụ ka ha taa ghara ịnwụ, ka anyị gharakwa igbu ha.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEhapi kia ʻOpataia, “Ke ke ʻalu atu ki he fonua, ki he ngaahi matavai kotoa pē, pea ki he ngaahi vaitafe kotoa pē: heiʻilo te tau maʻu ai ha mohuku ke fakamoʻui ʻaki ʻae fanga hoosi mo e fanga miuli, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa mole ʻae fanga manu kotoa pē.”
6 Ha kere ala ahụ nʼetiti onwe ha. Ehab sitere otu akụkụ, ma Ọbadaya sitere akụkụ nke ọzọ.
Ko ia naʻa na vaheua ʻae fonua ʻiate kinaua ke ʻosiki ia ʻi heʻena ʻalu ai: naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻEhapi ʻi hono hala ʻoʻona, pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻOpataia ʻi hono hala kehe ʻoʻona.
7 Ọ dịghị anya, na mberede, Ọbadaya hụrụ Ịlaịja ka ọ na-abịa izute ya. Ọbadaya matara na ọ bụ ya. Nʼihi ya, ọ dara nʼala kpuo ihu ya nʼala sị, “Ọ bụ gị ka m hụrụ nʼezie, onyenwe m, Ịlaịja?”
Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu ʻa ʻOpataia ʻi he hala, vakai, naʻe fakafetaulaki mai ʻa ʻIlaisiā kiate ia: pea naʻa ne ʻiloʻi ia, ʻo ne tō hifo ki hono mata, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko koe ʻapē ko hoku ʻeiki ko ʻIlaisiā?

Pea naʻa ne pehēange kiate ia, “Ko au ʻalu ʻo tala ki hoʻo ʻeiki, Vakai, ko ʻIlaisiā eni.”
9 Mgbe ahụ, Ọbadaya jụrụ Ịlaịja sị, “Gịnị bụ ihe m mejọrọ, nke mere i ji na-achọ inyefe ohu gị nʼaka Ehab ka o gbuo ya?
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Ko e hā ʻa ʻeku fai hala, ke ke tukuange ai ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ki he nima ʻo ʻEhapi ke tāmateʻi au?

11 Ma ugbu a, ị na-asị m gaa gwa Onyenwe m na, ‘Ịlaịja nọ nʼebe a.’

12 Ọ bụrụkwanụ na m esite nʼebe a pụọ, onye ma ebe Mmụọ Onyenwe anyị ga-ebuga gị. Mgbe ahụ, ọ bụrụ na Ehab abịa hapụ ịhụ gị, ọ ga-egbu m. Nʼihi na mụ bụ ohu gị bụ onye na-efe Onyenwe anyị ofufe siterị na mgbe m bụ okorobịa.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, kau ka ʻalu leva meiate koe, ʻe ʻave koe ʻe he Laumālie ʻo Sihova ki ha potu ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi; pea ʻi heʻeku fakahā kia ʻEhapi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke ne ʻilo koe, te ne tāmateʻi au: ka ʻoku manavahē ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko au kia Sihova talu mei heʻeku kei siʻi.

ʻIkai kuo fakahā ki heʻeku ʻeiki ʻaia naʻaku fai ʻi heʻene tāmateʻi ʻe Sisipeli ʻae kau palōfita ʻa Sihova, ʻa ʻeku fufū ha toko teau ʻoe kau palōfita ʻa Sihova ʻo taki nimangofulu ʻi ha ʻana, mo fafanga ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae mā mo e vai?
14 Ma ugbu a i na-agwa m sị m, ‘Gaa gwa onyenwe gị na Ịlaịja abịala.’ Ọ ga-egbukwa m!”
Pea ʻoku ke pehē mai ni, ‘ʻAlu, ʻo tala ki hoʻo ʻeiki, Vakai, ko ʻIlaisiā eni: pea te ne tāmateʻi au.’”
15 Ma Ịlaịja zara sị ya, “Dịka Onyenwe anyị Chineke Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile na-adị ndụ, onye m na-ejere ozi, ana m agwa gị na agaghị m esi nʼebe a pụọ tutu ruo mgbe m gosiri Ehab onwe m taa.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi, ʻaia ʻoku ou tuʻu ʻi hono ʻao, pea ko e moʻoni te u fakahā au kiate ia he ʻaho ni.”
16 Mgbe ahụ, Ọbadaya pụrụ gaa kọọrọ Ehab na Ịlaịja abịala. Emesịa, Ehab pụtara izute Ịlaịja.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa ʻOpataia ke fetaulaki mo ʻEhapi, ʻo ne tala ki ai: pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻEhapi ke fakafetaulaki atu kia ʻIlaisiā.
17 Mgbe ọ hụrụ Ịlaịja, Ehab sịrị ya, “Ọ bụ gị onwe gị bụ nke a, gị onye na-emekpa Izrel ahụ?”
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene mamata ʻa ʻEhapi kia ʻIlaisiā, naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEhapi kiate ia, “Ko koe ia koā kuo fakamamahi ai ʻa ʻIsileli?”
18 Ịlaịja zara sị Ehab, “O nweghị mgbe m ji butere Izrel nsogbu. Ọ bụ gị onwe gị na ezinaụlọ nna gị na-ebutere Izrel nsogbu. Unu agbakụtala iwu Onyenwe anyị azụ, gbasoro chi Baal dị iche iche.

20 Ehab zigara ozi kpọkọta ndị Izrel niile, na ndị amụma ahụ niile. Ha niile bịakwara nʼugwu Kamel.
Ko ia naʻe fekau atu ʻe ʻEhapi ki he fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli, pea naʻa ne fakataha mai ʻae kau kikite kotoa pē ki he moʻunga ko Kameli.
21 Ịlaịja gara nʼihu ndị a, sị ha, “Ọ bụ ruo ole mgbe ka unu ga-akwụsị inwe obi abụọ? Ọ bụrụ na Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu, soronụ ya! Ma ọ bụrụkwanụ na unu ekpebie na Baal bụ chi unu, soronụ ya.” Ma ndị zukọrọ nʼebe ahụ ekwughị ihe ọbụla.

25 Ịlaịja gwara ndị amụma Baal, sị, “Ebe unu dị ọtụtụ, burunu ụzọ họrọ otu oke ehi nʼime ehi abụọ a dozie ya. Unu amụnyekwala ya ọkụ nʼokpuru, kama kpọkuonụ chi unu.”
