9 Obadja wa zira na tja: “Mba ungura tjike, tji movanga okundjitwa motjiwonga kutja mbi ṱe i ombara Ahab? 10 Tjimbe tja Muhona, Ndjambi woye, ombara i ku paha mehi arihe mouye.

Oyo mai ndji zepa!”
15 Elia wa zira a tja: “Tjimbe tja Muhona Omunamasaaehe, ngu mbi karera, ami me keriraisa omuini kombara ndinondi.”
16 Obadja opa ira kombara Ahab ne kemu raera oviṋa mbi; nu Ahab wa sekama okukatjakanena Elia. 17 Ahab tja muna Elia wa tja ku ye: “Oove ngu u ri omuzunganise omunene tjinene mOisrael!”
18 Elia wa zira a tja: “Ami himuzunganise. Oweṋe na iho mbu mu ri nao. Kamu nonḓuviro komatwako wa Muhona, nu mu rikotamena koomukuru vovisenginina va Baal. 19 Nambano karaere Ovaisrael avehe ve ndji tjakanenene kondundu Karmel. Eterera ovaprofete va Baal omasere yane nomirongo vitano novaprofete omasere yane va Asera, omukuru omukazendu wotjisenginina, mbe vaterwa i ombara oserekaze Isebel.”
20 Komuhingo mbwi Ahab otja woronganisira Ovaisrael avehe novaprofete va Baal kondundu Karmel. 21 Elia wa ya kotjiwaṋa na katja nai: “Mamu ripura pevari nai nga ruṋe? Muhona tje ri Ndjambi rikotameneye ku ye; nungwari Baal tje ri Ndjambi rikotameneye ku ye!” Nungwari otjiwaṋa katji mu zirire nandarire embo rimwe. 22 Elia arire tja tja kotjiwaṋa: “Owami erike omuprofete wa Muhona ngu mbi ri po, nungwari pe novaprofete va Baal omasere yane nomirongo vitano. 23 Eteye ozondwezu mbari zozongombe; ovaprofete va Baal ngave kambure imwe, ve zepe nu ve i haṋe mozonyama pekepeke, nu ve ze twe kozonguṋe, nungwari ave yakisa omuriro. Ami me tjiti tjingetjo nondwezu indji ongwao wina. 24 Tjazumba ovaprofete va Baal mba ngave kumbe komukuru wawo wotjisenginina, nu ami me kumbu ku Muhona. Nu ingwi ngu ma itavere nomuriro, eye onguri Ndjambi!”
Notjiwaṋa atjihe arire tji tja tja: “Ii, osemba.”
25 Elia wa tja nai kovaprofete va Baal: “Eṋe tjinga amu ri ovengi tjinene nai, ritoororereye ondwezu imwe, nu mu tenge po okuipunguha. Kumbeye komukuru weṋu wotjisenginina, nungwari amu yakisa omuriro.”

27 Nu mutenya Elia wa uta okuvehemba na tja: “Kumbeye neraka enene! Eye omukuru! Ngahino wa twaererwa poo u noviungura poo wai mouyenda poo ngahino wa rara, neṋe mwa pu pokukemupendura!” 28 Ovaprofete opu va ravaerera ko nomasa nave ritwere notuvyo nomangaruvyo otja komuhingo wawo nga ombinḓu tji ya ziza. 29 Owo va kara pokurokoha nokuura nga mapeta, nungwari kapa ri eziriro, nu kapa zuvakere ombosiro.
30 Elia wa tja kotjiwaṋa atjihe: “Indjeye popezu na ami!” Nowo avehe va woronganena pu ye. Eye wa tungurura otjipunguhiro tja Muhona tji tja haṋewa, 31 na toora omawe omurongo na yevari, ewe rimwe komuhoko auhe waimbi omihoko omurongo na vivari vyozondekurona za Jakob, omurumendu Muhona ngwe mu rukire ena Israel. 32 Eye wa tungurura otjipunguhiro tja Muhona nomawe nga.

Neye wa hungira otjikando otjitjatatu na tja: “Tirireye rukwao!” Nowo ave tjiti nao! 35 Nomeva ya randatera pehi okukondoroka otjipunguhiro naye urisa orurora.

Opo nee Ahab a ya a ka shakeneke Elia.
17 Ndele Ahab eshi a mona Elia, Ahab te mu pula: “Oove tuu ou ho twala Israel momupya?” 18 Opo nee ta nyamukula: “Haame nda twala Israel momupya, ndelenee ove neumbo loye, nye eshi mwa efa oipango yOmwene ndele mwa shikula ooBaal. 19 Tuma hano paife u shive Ovaisraeli aveshe va ongale komhunda yaKarmel, nosho yo ovaxunganeki omafele ane nomilongo nhano vaBaal novaxunganeki omafele ane vaAsera, ava hava li poshililo shaIsabel.” 20 Ndele Ahab okwa tuma ko ndele ta ifana ovana aveshe vaIsrael novaxunganeki ve uye komhunda yaKarmel. 21 Ndele Elia okwa ehena kovanhu aveshe ndele ta ti: “Fiyo onaini tamu tengaukile kombinga nombinga? Omwene ngeenge Oye Kalunga, mu shikuleni, ndelenee Baal ngeenge oye kalunga, mu shikuleni.” Ndelenee ovanhu inave mu nyamukula sha. 22 Opo nee Elia ta ti kovanhu: “Ame andike nda xupa po movaxunganeki vOmwene, fimbo ovaxunganeki vaBaal ve li omafele ane nomilongo nhano. 23 Ndelenee tu peni eengobe mbali deemhedi. Naave lihoololele tete ongobe imwe yomhedi noku i shashaula noku i tula koikuni, ndelenee vaha shakale omundilo. Ame ohandi ka toma ongobe ikwao yomhedi noku i tula koikuni, ndele itandi ka shakala omundilo. 24 Opo nee nye ifaneni hano edina lakalunga keni, naame ohandi ka ifana edina lOmwene; ndele Kalunga ou ta nyamukula nomundilo. Oye Kalunga.” Novanhu aveshe va nyamukula, tava ti: “Ondjovo oyo ya wapala.”
25 Ndele Elia okwa lombwela ovaxunganeki vaBaal ta ti: “Lihoololeleni ongobe imwe yomhedi ndele i tomeni tete, osheshi onye vahapu. Ifaneni hano edina lakalunga keni, ndelenee inamu tema omundilo.” 26 Ndele va kufa ongobe oyo yomhedi, ve i pewa ndele ve i toma, ndele va ifana edina laBaal okudja ongula fiyo pokati komutenya, ndele tava ti: “Akutu Baal, tu nyamukula!” Ndelenee inapa holoka nande ondaka ile ou ta nyamukula. Ndele venya va nhukaanhukila nokudingilila oaltari ve shi ninga. 27 Ndele pokati komutenya Elia okwe va sheka ndele ta ti: “Ifaneni pombada. Oye tuu kalunga. Ndelenee kashiimba ye e noupyakadi ile okwa dja po, ile e li mondjila. Kashiimba ta kofa ndele e nokududuluka po.” 28 Ndele va ingida pombada ndele panghedi yavo ve lilengula nomaongamukonda fiyo ohonde ya tika muvo. 29 Ndele etango eshi la dja pokati komutwe, ova hangika komhepo yepwiduko fiyo okefimbo olo eendjayambo tadi yambwa. Ndelenee inapa holoka nande ondaka ile ou ta nyamukula, kape neudo.
30 Opo nee Elia ta ti kovanhu aveshe: “Eheneni oku kwaame.” Novanhu aveshe va ehena kuye. Nokwa tungulula oaltari yOmwene ya li ya hanaunwa po. 31 Opo nee Elia a kufa omamanya omulongo naavali pamuvalo womapata ovana vaJakob, ou a uda ondjovo ei yOmwene: “Israel, olo edina loye.” 32 Nokwa tunga oaltari yomamanya medina lOmwene. Opo nee a fa omukangha tau dingilile oaltari, wa li u fike peelita omulongo nanhee. 33 Nokwa tula ko oikuni koshiyambelo, nde ta shashaula ongobe yomhedi moinhimbu, nokwa tula ombelela kombada yoikuni.

Odula inene ya pauka. Ndele Ahab okwa londa metemba ndele ta i kuJisreel. 46 Ndelenee eke lOmwene la li kombada yaElia, onghee ye e limanga moshiya ndele ta tondoka, a pita komesho aAhab fiyo okuJisreel.
