Pavuaku minanga, Yehowa wakambila Eliya ne: ‘Ndaku ku Salefata. Mukaji mukamba udi kuntuaku neakupeshe biakudia.’ Pakafika Eliya ku tshibuelelu tshia tshimenga wakamona mukaji mukamba mupele wangula nkunyi. Yeye kumulomba dikopo dia mâyi. Pavuaye uya bua kumuangatshila mâyi, Eliya wakamubikila wamba ne: ‘Ntuadila koku tshipese tshia diampa.’ Kadi mukaji mukamba au wakamuambila ne: ‘Tshiena ne diampa nansha dimue dia kukupesha to. Ndi anu ne ndambu wa bukula ne ndambu wa mafuta bua kulamba biakudia bikese bianyi ne muananyi.’ Kadi Eliya wakamuambila ne: ‘Yehowa mmulaye ne: wewe mungenzele diampa, bukula buebe ne mafuta biudi nabi kabiakujika too ne paloka mvula kabidi.’
