Ary hoy ireo taminy: Nisy lehilahy niakatra nitsena anay ka nanao taminay hoe: Mandehana miverina any amin'ny mpanjaka izay naniraka anareo, ka lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Moa ataonareo fa tsy misy Andriamanitra eo amin'ny Isiraely va, no maniraka hanontany amin'i Bala-zeboba, andriamanitr'i Ekrona, ianareo? Koa noho izany dia tsy hidina hiala amin'ny farafara izay niakaranao ianao, fa ho faty tokoa.
And they said unto him, There came a man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to enquire of Baal–zebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
