1 Hagi ko'ma oruno zagema reno e'nea knamofo namba 3 kafurera, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Elaijana asami'ne, vunka kini ne' Ahapuna kavugosa ome averi nehunka, ama mopafina Ra Anumzamo'a kora atrenigeno hago rugahie hunka ome asamio.
Patapita masiku ambiri, mʼchaka chachitatu cha chilala, Yehova anayankhula ndi Eliya kuti, “Pita ukadzionetse kwa Ahabu ndipo ndidzagwetsa mvula pa dziko lapansi.”
2 Ananke'ma nentahino'a, Ahapu avure vunaku Elaija'a vu'ne. Ana knafina Sameria kaziga tusi agatontonkna fore hu'ne.
Choncho Eliya anapita kukadzionetsa kwa Ahabu. Tsono nthawi imeneyi njala inakula kwambiri mu Samariya,
3 Hagi Ahapu'a noma'amofo kva ne' Obediana kehigeno' e'ne. Obedia'a Ra Anumzamofona koro hunteno, agorga'a nemania nere.
ndipo Ahabu anayitana Obadiya amene ankayangʼanira nyumba yake yaufumu. (Obadiya ankaopa Yehova kwambiri.
4 Hagi Jesebeli'ma Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa vahetmima zamahe vagamaneregeno'a, 100'a kasnampa vahera zamavareno 50'a mago havegampi nezmanteno, 50'a mago havegampi frakizmanteneno, tine ne'zanena zamitere hu'ne.
Pamene Yezebeli ankapha aneneri a Yehova, Obadiya anatenga aneneri 100 ndi kuwabisa mʼmapanga awiri, phanga lililonse aneneri makumi asanu, ndipo ankawapatsa chakudya ndi madzi).
5 Hagi Ahapu'a amanage huno Obadiana asami'ne, Maka tinkrahopine aguporamipinena knare trazama me'nenigura haketa, ama hosi afutamine, donki afutamimo'zama fri'zankura zamaza hanunke'za manisageta zamahe ofrisune.
Ahabu anawuza Obadiya kuti, “Pita mʼdziko kulikonse kumene kuli zitsime za madzi ndi ku zigwa zonse. Mwina mwake tingapeze udzu oti nʼkumadyetsa akavalo ndi abulu kuti akhale ndi moyo, kuti tisaphe chiweto chilichonse.”
6 Anage nehuke mago kaziga moparega Ahapu'a agraku vigeno, mago kaziga moparega Obadia'a agraku vu'ne.
Choncho anagawana dziko loti apiteko, Ahabu anapita mbali ina, Obadiya nʼkupita ina.
7 Hagi Obadia'a agraku nevuno, Elaijana ome tutagiha hu'ne. Hagi Obedia'ama Elaijama keno antahinoma nehuno'a, avugosaregati mopafi umaseno amanage hu'ne, ranimoka, kagra tamage Elaijago?
Obadiya akuyenda mʼnjira anakumana ndi Eliya. Ndipo taonani, Obadiya anamuzindikira Eliyayo, naweramira pansi ndipo anati, “Kodi ndinu, mbuye wanga Eliya?”
8 Higeno Elaija'a amanage hune, Izo nagragi, vunka kvaka'amofona Elaija'a hago e'ne hunka ome asamio.
Eliya anayankha kuti, “Inde. Pita kawuze mbuye wako kuti, ‘Eliya wabwera.’”
9 Anante Obedia'a amanage hu'ne, Eri'za vahekamo'na nagra na'a kumi hugenka, Ahapu'ma nahe frinogura hunenantane?
Obadiya anafunsa kuti, “Kodi ndalakwa chiyani kuti inu mupereke mtumiki wanu kwa Ahabu kuti akaphedwe?
10 Na'ankure Ra Anumzana kasefa huno mani'nea Anumzanka'amofo avufi tamage hu'na huvempa huankino, kini ne'mo'a maka ama mopafima me'nea kumatmimpina kagrikura hake vagare'ne. Ana nehuno mago mago kumate'ma hakeno'ma nevuno'a, ana kumate kini vahetmima zamantahigege'za, i'o omani'nema hazageno'a, kini ne' Ahapu'a huvempa huta tamage hiho higeno, tamage huta onke'nona hu'za hu'naze.
Pali Yehova Mulungu wanu wamoyo, kulibe mtundu wa anthu kapena ufumu uliwonse kumene mbuye wanga sanatumeko anthu okakufunafunani. Ndipo pamene mtundu wa anthu kapena ufumu unena kuti kuno kulibe, Ahabu ankawalumbiritsa kuti atsimikizedi kuti inuyo kulibe kumeneko.
11 Higenka menina nagrikura amanage nehane, Elaija'a ne-e hunka ranka'amofona ome asamio hunka nehane.
Koma tsopano mukundiwuza kuti ndipite kwa mbuye wanga ndi kukanena kuti, ‘Eliya wabwera.’
12 Hianagi katre'nama amaretima nevanugeno'a, Ra Anumzamofo Avamu'mo'a onkenurega kavresga huno vugahie. Ana'ma hanigeno'ma Ahapuma ome asamisugeno eno eme kesiama omani'nesankeno'a, nagra ositeti'ma manina e'noana, Ra Anumzamofonku korora hunte'na agoraga'a mani'na e'noanagi, nahe frigahie.
Ine sindikudziwa kumene Mzimu wa Yehova udzakupititsani ine ndikachoka. Ngati ndipita kukamuwuza Ahabu ndipo iye wosadzakupezani, adzandipha. Komatu ine mtumiki wanu ndakhala ndi kupembedza Yehova kuyambira ubwana wanga.
13 Hagi Jesebeli'ma Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa vahe'tmima zamahe hana'ma nehigenama hu'noa zana, ranimoka onkasami'nazo? Nagra 100'a kasnampa vahetami refko hu'na 50'a mago havegampi fraki zamante'na, mago 50'a mago havegampina fraki zamante'nena ne'zane tinena zamami'noe.
Mbuye wanga, kodi simunamve zimene ndinachita pamene Yezebeli ankapha aneneri a Yehova? Ine ndinabisa aneneri 100 a Yehova mʼmapanga awiri, mʼphanga lililonse aneneri makumi asanu, ndipo ndinkawapatsa chakudya ndi madzi akumwa.
14 Hagi menina kagra hunka Elaija'a hago e'ne hunka ome asamio nehanankina, nagrama ome asami'nugeno eme hakesiama omani'nenankeno'a nahe frigahie.
Ndiye inu tsopano mukundiwuza kuti ndipite kwa mbuye wanga ndi kukanena kuti, ‘Eliya wabwera.’ Iyeyo adzandipha ndithu!”
15 Hagi anagema higeno'a, Elaija'a amanage huno asami'ne, Amage'ma nentoa Ra Anumzana kasefa huno mani'nea Hihamu'ane Anumzamofo avufi tamage hu'na huvempa huanki'na, menina Ahapuna ome kegahue.
Eliya anati, “Pali Yehova Wamphamvuzonse wamoyo, amene ndimamutumikira, ine lero ndidzaonekera ndithu pamaso pa Ahabu.”
16 Higeno Obadia'a Ahapu ome kenaku vuno ome keno eri fore huteno, ana nanekea asamigeno Ahapu'a Elaija ome kenaku vu'ne.
Choncho Obadiya anapita kukakumana ndi Ahabu, namuwuza, ndipo Ahabu anapita kukakumana ndi Eliya.
17 Hagi Ahapu'ma Elaijama ome negeno'a amanage hu'ne, Israeli mopafima hazenkema eri fore nehana nera kagro.
Pamene Ahabu anaona Eliya, anati kwa iye, “Kodi ndiwedi, munthu wovutitsa Israeli uja?”
18 Anagema higeno'a, Elaija'a amanage huno ke nona hu'ne, Nagra Israeli vahera hazenkea eri ozmi'noe. Hianagi kagrane nagakamo'zane Israeli vahetera hazenkea eri'za e'naze. Na'ankure kagra Ra Anumzamofo kasegea atrenka kamefi huneminka, Bali havi anumzantami monora ome hunentenka avariri'nane.
Eliya anayankha kuti, “Ine sindinavutitse Israeli, koma ndinuyo ndi banja lanu. Mwasiya malamulo a Yehova ndipo mwatsatira Abaala.
19 Hagi menina huge'za maka Israeli vahera Karmeli agonare'ma mani'nenure omeri tru nehuta, 450'a Bali havi anumzamofo kasnampa vahe'ene, 400'a Asera havi anumzamofo kasnampa vahetamima Jesebeli'ma neza agampu'ma nehia vahetaminena zamavarenetma eviho.
Tsopano sonkhanitsani anthu a mʼdziko lonse la Israeli kuti akumane nane pa Phiri la Karimeli. Ndipo mubwere nawo aneneri a Baala 450 ndi aneneri a fano la Asera 400, amene amadya pa tebulo la Yezebeli.”
20 Hagi anagema higeno'a, Ahapu'a ke atrege'za maka Israeli vahe'ene, ana kasnampa vahe'mo'zanena Karmeli agonare omeri atru hu'naze.
Choncho Ahabu anatumiza mawu mʼdziko lonse la Israeli, ndipo anasonkhanitsa aneneri a Baala ku Phiri la Karimeli.
21 Ana hutageno Elaija'a maka vahe zamavuga otino amanage huno hu'ne, Nama'a zupa tare antahintahirera otineta kantu vuge kama egera nehaze? Ra Anumzamo'ma tamage Anumzama mani'nena, Agri avaririho. Hianagi Bali havi anumzamo'ma tamage Anumzama mani'nena agri avaririho. Anagema hige'za ana vahe'mo'za kea osu'naze.
Eliya anapita patsogolo pa anthuwo ndipo anati, “Kodi mudzakhala anthu a mitima iwiri mpaka liti? Ngati Yehova ndi Mulungu, mutsateni; koma ngati Baala ndi Mulungu, mutsateni.” Koma anthu aja sanayankhe.

Pamenepo Eliya ananena kwa iwo kuti, “Ine ndilipo ndekha mneneri wa Yehova, koma Baala ali ndi aneneri 450.

Kenaka inu muyitane dzina la mulungu wanu, ndipo ine ndidzayitana dzina la Yehova. Mulungu amene ati ayankhe potumiza moto, iyeyo ndiye Mulungu.” Pamenepo anthu onse anati, “Izi mwanena zamveka bwino.”
25 Hagi ana'ma hazageno'a, Elaija'a amanage huno Bali havi anumzamofo kasanampa vahetminkura hu'ne. Ese'zana tamagra mago bulimakao afu aheta taganavazita kresramna vu itarera anteta anumzantmimofo agia aheta nunamuna hiho. Na'ankure tamagra rama'a mani'naze. Hianagi tevema hanavazi ante'nazarera tevea tagi onteho.
Eliya anawuza aneneri a Baala kuti, “Yambani ndinu. Sankhani ngʼombe yayimuna imodzi, muyikonze, popeza mulipo ambiri. Muyitane dzina la mulungu wanu, koma musakoleze moto.”
26 Hagi anagema hige'za mago bulimakao afu ahe'za taganavaziza kresramna vu itare antete'za, nanterama agafama hu'nazana nunamuna hu'za Bali havi anumzamofo agia nehe'za, kezati'za Bali anumzamoka ketia antahiramio hu'za nehu'za, krafa nehazageno zagemo'a anuntupi evuno feru omese'ne. Hianagi ana nunamu zamirera kenona huozmantegeno, mago zana forera osu'ne. Hagi ana'ma higeno'a, anama tro'ma hu'naza kre sramna vu itamofo tavaonte haruhu'za mareriza tami'za nehu'za avore'za kagi'naze.
Choncho iwo anatenga ngʼombe yayimunayo imene anawapatsa, nayikonza. Kenaka anayitana dzina la Baala kuyambira mmawa mpaka masana. Iwo anafuwula kuti, “Inu Baala, tiyankheni ife.” Koma panalibe yankho; palibe amene anayankha. Ndipo anavinavina mozungulira guwa lansembe limene anapanga.
27 Hagi zagemo'ma marerino feru'masegeno'a, Elaija'a agafa huno kiza zokago kea amanage huno huzmante'ne. Ranke huta kezatiho. Na'ankure agra anumza mani'ne. Agra feru avana negeno manige, kerirega vuge, kanteno vano huge, avu masege hu'negahianki azeri otiho.
Nthawi yamasana Eliya anayamba kuwanyogodola ndipo anati, “Fuwulani kwambiri. Ndithudi, iye ndi mulungu! Mwinatu akulingalira kwambiri, kapena watanganidwa, kapena ali paulendo. Mwina wagona ndipo nʼkofunika kuti adzutsidwe.”
28 Anagema hige'za ranke hu'za kezaneti'za mono zmimofo avu'avamo'ma hu'neaza hu'za kazinteti'ene agona zanteti'enena zamavufaga taga hazageno koramo'a herafirami'ne.
Choncho iwo anafuwula kwambiri ndi kudzichekacheka ndi malupanga ndi mikondo, potsata miyambo yawo, mpaka kutuluka magazi.
29 Hagi ana nehu'za ranke hu'za avore'za kanegi'zageno, zagemo'a evutragiseno kinaga ofama nehaza knarera evu'ne. Hianagi ana anumzazmimo'a magore huno ke'zazmia antahizamino kenona huozami'ne.

30 Hagi ana'ma higeno'a Elaija'a amanage huno ana maka vahekura hu'ne, Amare erava'o hiho, higeno erava'o hazageno, Ra Anumzamofo Kresramana vu itama eri havizama hutre'nazana eriso'e huno tro hu'ne.
Pamenepo Eliya anati kwa anthu onse, “Senderani pafupi ndi ine.” Ndipo anthu onsewo anasendera pafupi ndi iye, ndipo iye anakonza guwa lansembe la Yehova limene linali litawonongeka.
31 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma Jekopuma asamino, kagri kagia Israelige hu'za hugahazema huno'ma hu'nere, 12fu'a naga'nofimofo huhamprino 12fu'a have erino,
Eliya anatenga miyala 12, mwala uliwonse kuyimira fuko lililonse la Yakobo, amene Yehova anamuwuza kuti, “Dzina lako lidzakhala Israeli.”
32 Ra Anumzamofo agifi ana kre sramnavu ita tro huteno, ana itamofona 14ni'a lita tima marevaziga avamente tinkana aseno kagi'ne.
Ndi miyala imeneyo anamanga guwa mʼdzina la Yehova, ndipo anakumba ngalande yayikulu yolowa malita 15 a madzi kuzungulira guwalo.
33 Ana nehuno ana Kresramanavu itamofo agofetura teve hanavaziteno, bulimakao afura aheno taganavazino ana teve agofetu nenteno amanage hu'ne, ama ana ofama hu bulimakao afute'ene tevere'enena 4'a ranra tintafe afita tagi kasriho, huno hige'za,
Anayika nkhuni zija mʼmalo mwake nadula nthulinthuli ngʼombe yayimuna ija ndi kuyika nthulizo pa nkhunipo. Pamenepo Eliya anati, “Dzazani mitsuko inayi ndi madzi ndipo muwathire pa nyama ya nsembeyo ndi nkhunizo.”

Eliya anati, “Thiraninso kachiwiri.” Anthu aja anathiranso madziwo kachiwiri. Iye analamula kuti, “Thiraninso kachitatu.” Ndipo iwo anathiranso kachitatu.
35 Hagi ana'ma hazageno'a timo'a ana Kresramana vu itafintira hatihati huno tinkama asente'nefina marevite'ne.
Madziwo anayenderera pansi kuzungulira guwa lansembe, nadzaza ngalande yonse.
36 Hagi kinagama ofama Kresramanama vu knama egeno'a, kre sramnavu itare Elaija'a erava'o huno amanage huno nunamuna hu'ne, Ra Anumzana, Abrahamune, Aisakine, Israeli Anumzamoka, Israeli mopafina Nagrake Anumzana mani'noe hunka nehunka, eri'za vahekamo'nagura Nagra huntogeno maka ama zantamina nehie hunka eriama huo.
Pa nthawi yopereka nsembe, mneneri Eliya anasendera pafupi ndi guwa lansembe, napemphera kuti, “Inu Yehova, Mulungu wa Abrahamu, Isake ndi Yakobo, lero zidziwike kuti ndinu Mulungu mu Israeli ndipo kuti ine ndine mtumiki wanu, kuti ine ndachita zonsezi chifukwa mwalamula ndinu.
37 Ra Anumzamoka nunamuni'a antahinamio! Nunamuni'a antahinamige'za ama vahetmimo'za Ra Anumzamoka kagrake Anumzana mani'nenka, tagu'a eri rukre hunka kagrarega tavrentane hu'za ke'za antahiza hugahaze.

38 Anagema nehigeno'a monafinkati hantaka huno Ra Anumzamofo tevemo'a hagna hagna huno eramino, ana bulimakaoma tagnavazino'ma ante'nea afu'ene tevema hanavazi'nea tevene, kresramnavu itama tro hu'nea haveramine, kugusopane, tinkampima marevazi'nea tinena ana maka tevemo'a teno eri hana hu'ne.

39 Hagi maka vahe'mo'za ana zama nege'za zamavugosaregati mopafi mase'za amanage hu'naze, Ra Anumzamo'a Agrake tamage Anumzana mani'ne! Ra Anumzamo'a Agrake tamage Anumzana mani'ne! hu'za hu'naze.
Anthu onse ataona zimenezi, anaweramitsa nkhope zawo pansi, nafuwula kuti, “Yehova ndiye Mulungu! Yehova ndiye Mulungu!”
40 Hagi ana'ma higeno'a Elaija'a amanage hu'ne, Bali havi anumzamofo kasnampa vahetami fresagi, ana maka zamazeriho, hige'za ana maka zamazerizageno Elaija'a ana Bali havi anumzamofo kasnampa vahetmina zamavareno vuno Kisoni timpi ome zamahe fri vagre'ne.
Pamenepo Eliya analamula anthuwo kuti, “Gwirani aneneri a Baala. Musalole kuti wina aliyense athawe!” Anagwira onsewo ndipo Eliya anabwera nawo ku Chigwa cha Kisoni, nawapha kumeneko.
41 Ana huteno Elaija'a amanage huno Ahapuna asami'ne, Marerinka ne'zane tinena ome no. Na'ankure rankokrerfa ne-ege'na agasasankea nentahue.
Ndipo Eliya anati kwa Ahabu, “Pitani, kadyeni ndi kumwa, pakuti kukumveka mkokomo wa mvula.”
42 Anagema higeno'a, ne'zane tine ome nenaku Ahapu'a mareri'ne. Hagi Elaija'a Karmeli agona morusapi marerino arena omereno tare arenararempi asenia ante pri huteno mani'ne.
Choncho Ahabu anapita kukadya ndi kumwa, koma Eliya anakwera pamwamba pa Phiri la Karimeli, ndipo anawerama mpaka pansi, nayika mutu wake pakati pa mawondo ake.
43 Hagi Elaija'a eri'za ne'agura amanage hu'ne, Marerinka hagerima me'nerega omego. Higeno eri'za ne'amo'a marerino ome keteno, ete Elaijante eno amanage eme hu'ne. Mago zana onkoe, huno higeno, Elaija'a 7ni'a zupa vute ete hunka ome ko huno hunte'ne.
Eliya anawuza mtumiki wake kuti, “Pita kayangʼane ku nyanja.” Ndipo iye anapita nakayangʼana. Mtumikiyo anati, “Kulibe kanthu.” Kasanu nʼkawiri Eliya anati, “Pitanso.”
44 Hagi namba 7ni zupa vuno ome keteno eno amanage eme hu'ne, Vahe'mofo azagusagna huno osi hampomo hageri me'nerega efore hige'na koe. Anagema higeno'a, Elaija'a amanage huno hunte'ne, Marerinka Ahapuna amanage hunka ome asamio, Ko ruhiza hanigenka ovnanki karisika'a retro hunka uramio hunka ome asamio.
Ulendo wachisanu ndi chiwiri mtumikiyo anafotokoza kuti, “Taonani, kamtambo kakangʼono kokhala ngati dzanja la munthu kakutuluka ku nyanja.” Pamenepo Eliya anati, “Pita, kamuwuze Ahabu kuti, ‘Konzani galeta lanu ndipo mutsike mvula isanakutsekerezeni.’”
45 Hagi osi'a kna manigeno monafina hampomo'a ome rehanintiri higeno, zahomo'a hampona atufeno ne-egeno, tusi ko aru'ne. Hagi Ahapu'a karisi agumpi ame'ama huno marerino, Jezreli kumate vu'naku vu'ne.
Nthawi imeneyi nʼkuti kuthambo kutayamba kusonkhana mitambo yakuda, mphepo inawomba, mvula yamphamvu inagwa ndipo Ahabu anakwera galeta napita ku Yezireeli.
46 Ana higeno Ra Anumzamo'a Elaijante azana anteno hanavea amigeno, zaza kena'a repasi hunaga atreno amu nofipi ahenevazino, tusi agareno Ahapuna ome azeri agatenereno Jezreli kumate vu'ne.
Dzanja la Yehova linali pa Eliya ndipo atamangira lamba chovala chake, anathamanga ndi kumupitirira Ahabu mpaka kukhala woyamba kukafika ku Yezireeli.
