Mbɔɛɛ minyína lɛtsa a kĩ bɛtsɛlɛ nɛ Katsɛlɛ Kpalɛwa a kamɛ, awã a kĩ Eliya ke Baguma aduli nɛ Israelfɔ lɔlɔ a? Ɛlɛ kĩ, Ⅲ “Boe Ɔlate, bɛkɔ nɔ onukpɛ̃ banyɛnɛ, ade bidzuli nɔ afɔlibɔ tɛtɛnyɛ a. Yĩ odi keĩ lite ade bawɛ kĩ bakɔ yĩ malo a!” Ⅳ Lɛmɛ nde Baguma kpa Eliya mbuayɛ? Ebi ye kĩ, “Ntina bati mpim evũkɔnɔ kĩ bɛtásum Baal baviɔ̃ a ĩyi nkpa yĩ akũ.” Ⅴ Ade aye fɔla nɛ finyaa lɔkɔ kĩĩ kamɛ malo a. Israelfɔ sukuloo badi te kĩ Baguma mɔ be kɔnya ɛpau eyi a.

Ade kito nɛ ke kɛyawo nviã kĩĩ a,

Lɛmɛ ntɛ ɔtádzi lɔmɔ ni, Baguma aatsua nɔ malo ɛnyɛ nɛ kutse a akũ. ⅩⅩⅢ Ade ntɛ Yudafɔ a muniki bɛyatɛ Baguma bidoi ni, Baguma aakɔa be ɛdzɛla nɛ be kadzakɔ̃ kɔɛ a, kitonɛkĩ Baguma aapuli ɛkɛna foe.
