Vem le nuav koj yuav tsw nqeg sau lub txaaj kws koj moog pw hov, koj yeej yuav tuag xwb.’ ”
7Vaajntxwv has rua puab tas, “Tug kws tuaj ntswb mej hab has tej lug nuav rua mej yog tuabneeg zoo le caag?”
8Puab teb nwg tas, “Nwg naav lub tsho ntaub plaub hab nwg sa ib txuj hlaab tawv ntawm duav.” Mas vaajntxwv has tas, “Tug kod yog Eliya kws nyob huv Thinpi ntaag.”
9Vaajntxwv txawm khaiv ib tug thawj rog coj tswb caug leej tub rog kws nwg kaav moog rua ntawm Eliya. Nwg nce moog cuag Eliya kws nyob tsawg sau lub pov roob mas has rua Eliya tas, “Vaajtswv tug tuabneeg 'e, vaajntxwv has tas, ‘Koj ca le nqeg lug.’ ”
10Tassws Eliya teb tug thawj rog hov tas, “Yog tas kuv yog Vaajtswv le ib tug tuabneeg tag, thov kuas suavtawg poob sau ntuj lug hlawv koj hab koj tswb caug leej tub rog kub nyab taag.” Tes suavtawg txawm poob sau ntuj lug hlawv nwg hab nwg tswb caug leej hov kub nyab taag huvsw.
11Vaajntxwv rov khaiv dua ib tug thawj rog coj tswb caug leej tub rog kws nwg kaav rov moog has rua Eliya. Nwg nce moog has rua Eliya tas, “Vaajtswv tug tuabneeg 'e, vaajntxwv has tas, ‘Koj ca le nqeg lug taamswm nuav.’ ”
12Tassws Eliya teb puab tas, “Yog tas kuv yog Vaajtswv le ib tug tuabneeg tag, thov kuas suavtawg poob sau ntuj lug hlawv koj hab koj tswb caug leej tub rog kub nyab taag.” Tes Vaajtswv le suavtawg txawm poob sau ntuj lug hlawv nwg hab nwg tswb caug leej hov kub nyab taag huvsw.
13Mas vaajntxwv rov khaiv dua ib tug thawj rog coj tswb caug leej tub rog kws nwg kaav moog. Tug thawj rog kws peb kuj nce moog mas txhus caug ndua ntawm Eliya xubndag thov thov has tas, “Vaajtswv tug tuabneeg 'e, kuv thov koj tsaa laaj muag saib kuv kws yog koj tug qhev txujsa hab tswb caug leej nuav txujsa kuas muaj nqes.
14Suavtawg tub poob sau ntuj lug kub ob tug thawj rog kws kaav tswb caug leej kws tuaj ua ntej hov hab ob tug cov tub rog taag lawm. Mas nwgnuav thov koj tsaa laaj muag saib kuv txujsa kuas muaj nqes.”
15Tes Yawmsaub tug tubkhai ntuj txawm has rua Eliya tas, “Ca le nqeg nrug nwg moog, tsw xob ntshai nwg.” Nwg txawm sawv tseeg nrug tug thawj rog moog cuag vaajntxwv
