4 Ngoba kwathi lapho uJezebeli ebhubhisa abaprofethi beNkosi, uObhadiya wathatha abaprofethi abalikhulu, wabafihla ngamadoda angamatshumi amahlanu ebhalwini, wabondla ngesinkwa langamanzi.

5 UAhabi wasesithi kuObhadiya: Hamba elizweni uye emithonjeni yonke yamanzi lezifuleni zonke; mhlawumbe singathola utshani, silondoloze amabhiza lezimbongolo kuphila, ukuze singabhubhisi okwezifuyo.
Ahab in Obadiah kom’ah, “Chen lang gamsung jouse ga kholsoh kei jin twinah jouse gaven chuleh phaicham jouse jong gachon soh keijin, ijeh nem itileh ham hing pouna munkhat beh imudoh uva ka sakol holeh sakol pol phabep beh i-hinso thei khat diuham,” ati.
6 Basebesehlukaniselana ilizwe ukuthi badabule phakathi kwalo; uAhabi wahamba ngenye indlela yedwa, uObhadiya laye wahamba ngenye indlela yedwa.
Hitichun amani chu gamsung khol ding chun akihom khen lhonin, Ahab jong amatah akipan in gamkai lang khat cheh jonin aki homkhen lhon tan ahi.

Ahivangin Obadiah chun, “Ipi pen tah’a koiman chonset na kaneiya, nangman na sohpa keima hi, Ahab khutna nei peh doh’a ama thasah ding neiti ham?” ati.
10 Kuphila kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, kakulasizwe lombuso inkosi yami engathumelanga kukho ukukudinga. Lapho besithi: Kakho; yafungisa lowombuso lalesosizwe ukuthi kabakutholanga.

Ahinlah Elijah in, “Keima a-angsung’a kadin jing, Pakai thanei pen minna kihahsel’a kasei ahi, tuni tah’a hi Ahab chu keiman ka kimupi tei ding ahi,” ati.
16 Ngakho uObhadiya wahamba ukuhlangabeza uAhabi, wamtshela; loAhabi wayahlangabeza uElija.

18 Wasesithi: Kangimhluphanga uIsrayeli, kodwa nguwe lendlu kayihlo, ngokuyitshiya kwenu imilayo yeNkosi, lalandela oBhali.
Elijah in adonbut in, “Keiman Israel kasuboi poi, nangma le na insung mite in na suhboi ahibouve, ajeh chu nangin Pakai thupeh nitlouvin, Baal semthu Pathen joh na hou uvin ahi.
19 Ngakho-ke thuma, ubuthanisele kimi uIsrayeli wonke entabeni iKharmeli, labaprofethi bakaBhali abangamakhulu amane lamatshumi amahlanu labaprofethi bezixuku abangamakhulu amane abadla etafuleni likaJezebeli.

Hiti chun Ahab in Israel mipi hole themgao hochu Carmel mol ah akou khom in ahi.
21 UElija wasesondela ebantwini bonke wathi: Koze kube nini liqhula emicabangweni emibili? Uba iNkosi inguNkulunkulu, landelani yona; kodwa uba kunguBhali, mlandeleni. Kodwa abantu kabamphendulanga ngalizwi.
Hichun Elijah chu amaho masang ah ading doh in, “Phat i-chanpi hi lunggel khenna nei louva lungni pu’a naum jom jing nahlai diuham? Pakai hi Pathen ahi natiu leh jui jeng’un, ahinla Baal hi pathen ahi natiu leh jui jeng’un,” atin ahi. Ahinlah mipi chu athipchet jeng un ahi.
