Tala kanuke au uli ha chizulie. Iye kali ngwe kanevu woma nawa ngwe kali ukawenyi, nyi ngwami? Shina ni yena che wakwivwa ha mashimbu akwo?— Atu anji ha mashimbu akwo che akwivwa. Mbimbiliya yinambe hakutwala kuli masepa ja Yehova waze te ni ayo akwivwa woma ngwe kali ukawo. Umwe wa kuli ayo te Eliya. Tulilongesenu hakutwala kuli iye.

Eliya te katwama mu chifuchi cha Izalele mashimbu anji kunyima, muze Yesu te kanda achisemuka. Ahabe, mwanangana wa mu Izalele, te keshi kuwayila Zambi wamwenemwene, Yehova. Ahabe ni mukwo-pwo Jezebele, te kakuwayila zambi wa mahuza Mbale. Kashika atu anji mu Izalele noo yaputuka kuwayila Mbale.

Nguli ukawami, nawa ngunevu woma wakungushaha.’ Eliya yanyonga ngwe akwa kuwayila Yehova eswe te haashaha. Alioze Yehova yamba kuli Eliya ngwenyi: ‘Ka, hi chamwenemwene ko. Kuli 7,000 a atu akwo waze ananguwayila. Pwako ni hamu. Yami nguli ni milimo yinji hanga uyilinge!’ Shina Eliya kanakevwa chiseke ha kwivwa maliji wano?—
