Koma anthu a ku Israele aphwanya chipangano chimene adachita ndi Inu, ndipo agwetsa maguwa anu ndi kupha aneneri anu ndi lupanga. Ineyo ndangotsala ndekha. Tsono akufunafunanso moyo wanga, kuti andiphe.”

14Iyeyo adati, “Inu Chauta, Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse, ineyo ndakhala ndikutumikira Inu nokha nthaŵi zonse. Koma anthu a ku Israele aphwanya chipangano chimene adachita ndi Inu, ndipo agwetsa maguwa anu ndi kupha aneneri anu ndi lupanga. Ineyo ndangotsala ndekha. Tsono akufunafunanso moyo wanga kuti andiphe.”

162Maf. 9.1-6 Yehu mwana wa Nimisi ukamdzoze kuti akhale mfumu ya ku Israele. Ndipo Elisa, mwana wa Safati wa ku Abele-Mehola, ukamdzoze kuti akhale mneneri woloŵa m'malo mwako.
17Tsono amene adzapulumuke ku lupanga la Hazaele, Yehu adzamupha. Amene adzapulumuke ku lupanga la Yehu, Elisa adzamupha.
