3. Ndipo Ahabu anaitana Obadiya woyang'anira nyumba yace. Koma Obadiya anaopa ndithu Yehova;
4. pakuti pamene Yezebeli anapulula aneneri a Yehova, Obadiya anatenga aneneri zana limodzi, nawabisa makumi asanu asanu m'phanga, nawadyetsa mkate ndi madzi.
5. Ndipo Ahabu anati kwa Obadiya, Kayendere dziko lonse ku zitsime zonse zamadzi, ndi ku mitsinje yonse, kapena tikapeza msipu ndi kusunga moyo wa akavalo ndi nyuru, zingafe nyama zonse.
6. Tsono iwo awiri anagawana dziko kukaliyendera; Ahabu anadzera njira yace yekha, ndi Obadiya njira yina yekha.
