1 Kwathi kwakuba mzuzu, lafika ilizwi likaYehova kuEliya ngomnyaka wesithathu, lathi, Hamba uye kubonana noAhabhi, ndinìse imvula phezu komhlaba.
2 Wahamba waya kubonana uEliya noAhabhi. Indlala ke yayinzima kwaSamari.
3 UAhabhi wayebize uObhadiya, obephethe indlu yakhe (uObhadiya ke wayemoyika uYehova kunene:
4 wayethe yena ekubanqamleni kukaIzebhele abaprofeti bakaYehova, uObhadiya wathabatha ikhulu labaprofeti, wabazimeza ngamashumi ngamahlanu, ngamashumi ngamahlanu, emqolombeni, wabondla ngesonka namanzi).
5 Wathi ke uAhabhi kuObhadiya, Hamba uye ezweni, emithonjeni yonke yamanzi nasemilanjaneni yonke; mhlawumbi sofumana utyani, siphilise amahashe noondlebende, zingabuthisi zonke iinkomo.
6 Balahlula ilizwe phakathi kwabo, ukuba bacande kulo; uAhabhi wahamba ngenye indlela yedwa, uObhadiya wahamba ngenye indlela yedwa.
