6 Bakamuandamuna ne: “Kuvua muntu mukuabu uvua mubande bua kusambakena netu, yeye kutuambila ne: ‘Ndayi, pinganayi kudi mukalenge udi munutume, numuambile ne: “Yehowa udi wamba ne: ‘Udi mutume bantu bua kuebeja Bâla-zebuba nzambi wa Ekelona malu bualu kakuena Nzambi mu Isalele anyi? Ke bualu kayi kuakujuka mu bulalu muudi mulale to, bualu neufue kakuyi mpata.’”’”+
7 Ke yeye kubebeja ne: “Muntu uvua mubande bua kulua kusambakena nenu ne munuambile malu aa uvua mushindu kayi?”
8 Nunku bakamuambila ne: “Muntu au uvua ne tshilamba tshia miosa+ ne mukaba wa tshiseba mu tshimono tshiende.”+ Diakamue wakamba ne: “Au ng’Eliya muena Tishebe.”
9 Nunku mukalenge wakamutumina mfumu wa basalayi 50 ne basalayi bende 50. Pavuaye mubande kudi Eliya, Eliya uvua musombe ku lusongo lua mukuna. Yeye kumuambila ne: “Muntu wa Nzambi mulelela,+ mukalenge udi wamba ne: ‘Pueka.’”
10 Kadi Eliya wakandamuna mfumu wa basalayi 50 ne: “Mbimpe, bingikala muntu wa Nzambi, kapia kafume mu diulu+ ne kakubutule wewe ne bantu bebe 50.” Nunku kapia kakafuma mu diulu, koku kumubutula yeye ne bantu bende 50.
11 Nunku mukalenge wakamutumina kabidi mfumu mukuabu wa basalayi 50 ne basalayi bende 50. Wakaya, kumuambilaye ne: “Muntu wa Nzambi mulelela, mukalenge udi wamba nunku: ‘Pueka lukasa.’”
12 Kadi Eliya wakabandamuna ne: “Bingikala muntu wa Nzambi mulelela, kapia kafume mu diulu ne kakubutule wewe ne bantu bebe 50.” Nunku kapia ka Nzambi kakafuma mu diulu, koku kumubutula yeye ne bantu bende 50.
13 Pashishe mukalenge wakatuma kabidi mfumu muisatu wa basalayi 50 ne basalayi bende 50. Kadi mfumu muisatu wa basalayi 50 wakabanda, kutuaye binu kumpala kua Eliya, kutuadijaye kumusengelela bua amumvuile luse ne kumuambilaye ne: “Muntu wa Nzambi mulelela, bua luse, muoyo wanyi ne mioyo ya* bena mudimu bebe 50 aba yikalaku ne mushinga ku mêsu kuebe.
14 Kapia nkamane kufuma mu diulu kabutule bamfumu babidi ba kumpala ba basalayi 50 ne bisumbu biabu bia basalayi 50, kadi mpindieu muoyo* wanyi wikalaku ne mushinga ku mêsu kuebe.”
15 Ke muanjelu wa Yehowa kuambila Eliya ne: “Pueka nende. Kumutshinyi to.” Nunku wakajuka, kupuekaye nende kudi mukalenge.
16 Ke Eliya kuambila mukalenge ne: “Yehowa udi wamba ne: ‘Uvua mutume bantu ne mukenji bua kuebeja Bâla-zebuba nzambi wa Ekelona malu.+ Uvua muenze nanku bualu kakuena Nzambi mu Isalele anyi?+ Bua tshinyi kuvua muebeje bua kumanya dîyi diende? Ke bualu kayi kuakujuka mu bulalu muudi mulale to, bualu neufue kakuyi mpata.’”
17 Nunku wakafua bilondeshile dîyi dia Yehowa divua Eliya muambe; ne bu muvuaye kayi ne muana, Yeholama*+ wakalua mukalenge pa muaba wende mu tshidimu tshibidi tshia Yeholama+ muana wa Yehoshafata mukalenge wa Yuda.
