1 Hina 18
1 Amalalu, ode osodayale gibu hame daha eso agoanega, Hina Gode da Ilaidiama amane sia: i, “Di asili, hina bagade A: iha: bema doaga: ma! Amasea, Na da gibu iasimu.”
And the days are many, and the word of YHWH has been to Elijah in the third year, saying, “Go, appear to Ahab, and I give rain on the face of the ground”;
2 Amaiba: le, Ilaidia da muni asi. Samelia soge ganodini, esoiba: le, ha: i da baligili bagadedafa ba: i.
and Elijah goes to appear to Ahab. And the famine is severe in Samaria,
3 Amaiba: le, A:iha: be da hina bagade diasu ouligisu dunu Oubadaiama, ema misa: ne sia: i. (Oubadaia da noga: le Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu dawa: i.
and Ahab calls to Obadiah, who [is] over the house—and Obadiah has been fearing YHWH greatly,
4 Yesebele da Hina Gode Ea balofede dunu ili gebewane medole legelaloba, Oubadaia da balofede dunu 100 agoane lale, dogoa mogili gilisisu 50 aduna hamone, magufu gelabo aduna ganodini wamoaligimusa: oule asili, ilima ha: i manu amola hano gaguli masu.)
and it comes to pass, in Jezebel’s cutting off the prophets of YHWH, that Obadiah takes one hundred prophets, and hides them, fifty men in a cave, and has sustained them with bread and water—
5 A: iha: be da Oubadaiama amane sia: i, “Ani ahoa: di! Ania da hano bubuga: su amola hano logo huluane soge ganodini ba: la masunu. Ania da Isala: ili dunu ilia hosi amola miule esalomusa: defele gisi hogola masunu. Amabela: ? Ninia ohe afae da hame medole legei ba: ma: bela: ?”
and Ahab says to Obadiah, “Go through the land, to all fountains of waters, and to all the brooks, perhaps we find hay, and keep alive horse and mule, and do not cut off any of the livestock.”
6 Ela da sia: dalu, ela afae afae hogola masunu soge ilegei. Amalalu, ela da logo higagale asi.
And they apportion the land to themselves, to pass over into it; Ahab has gone in one way by himself, and Obadiah has gone in another way by himself;
7 Oubadaia da logoga ahoanoba, hedolowane Ilaidia ba: i. E da ea odagi dawa: beba: le, ea midadi gududafa beguduli, amane adole ba: i, “Hina! Amo da dila: ?”
and Obadiah [is] in the way, and behold, Elijah [is there] to meet him; and he discerns him, and falls on his face and says, “Are you he—my lord Elijah?”
8 E bu adole i, “Dafawane! Na da Ilaidia wea! Di asili, dia hina bagade ema na da guiguda: esala: ba: ya adoma!”
And he says to him, “I [am]; go, say to your lord, Behold, Elijah.”
9 Oubadaia da amane adole i, “Na da adi hamobela: ? Dia da abuliba: le na hina bagade A: iha: be, ea na fane legema: ne logo fodosala: ?
And he says, “What have I sinned, that you are giving your servant into the hand of Ahab—to put me to death?
10 Dia Hina Gode Esala amo Ea Dioba: le na da dafawane ilegele sia: sa. A: iha: be da osobo bagadega fifi asi gala huluane amo ganodini, di hogoi helei. Soge fi ouligisu dunu afae da di da ea soge ganodini hame esala sia: ne iasu ianoba, A:iha: be da amo hina bagade, e da di hamedafa ba: i, amo dafawane ilegele sia: musa: sia: i.
Your God YHWH lives, if there is a nation and kingdom to where my lord has not sent to seek [for] you; and they said, He is not, then he caused the kingdom and the nation to swear, that it does not find you;
11 Amaiba: le, di da abuliba: le nama di da goega: i esala, amane ema sia: na masa: ne sia: bela: ?
and now, you are saying, Go, say to your lord, Behold, Elijah;
12 Na da ahoasea, amola Hina Gode Ea A: silibu da di eno hame dawa: sogega oule ahoasea, na da adi hamoma: bela: ? Amane hamosea, na da A: iha: bema, di da goega: i esala amo adole, e da di goega: i esalebe hame ba: sea, na medole legemu. Di bu dawa: ma! Na goi fonobahadiga ganini, Hina Godema noga: le nodone sia: ne gadosu dawa: i.
and it has been, I go from you, and the Spirit of YHWH lifts you up to where I do not know, and I have come to declare to Ahab, and he does not find you, and he has slain me; and your servant is fearing YHWH from my youth.
13 Yesebele da Hina Gode Ea balofede dunu ili gebewane medole legelaloba, na da balofede dunu 100 agoane lale, dogoa mogili gilisisu idi 50 aduna hamone, magufu gelabo aduna ganodini wamoaligimusa: oule asili, ilima ha: i manu amola hano gaguli masu. Amo di da hame nabibala: ?
Has it not been declared to my lord that which I have done in Jezebel’s slaying the prophets of YHWH, that I hide one hundred men of the prophets of YHWH, fifty by fifty in a cave, and sustained them with bread and water?
14 Amaiba: le, di da abuli na hina bagadema, di da goega: i esala: ba: ya adoma: ne, nama sia: sala: ? E da na medole legemu!”
And now you are saying, Go, say to my lord, Behold, Elijah—and he has slain me!”
15 Ilaidia da bu adole i, “Na da Hina Gode Bagadedafa Esala amo Ea hawa: hamonana. Amola na da Ea Dioba: le dafawane ilegele sia: sa. Na da wali esoga, hina bagadema odagi olemu.”
And Elijah says, “YHWH of Hosts lives, before whom I have stood, surely I appear to him today.”
16 Amaiba: le, Oubadaia da hina bagade A: iha: bema asili, ema Ilaidia da esala: ba: ya adoi. Amalu, A:iha: be da Ilaidia gousa: musa: asi.
Obadiah goes to meet Ahab, and declares [it] to him, and Ahab goes to meet Elijah.
17 A: iha: be da Ilaidia ba: beba: le, amane sia: i, “Agoea esalebe! Di da Isala: ili soge ganodini bidi hamosu dunu oda ilia hamosu bagadewane baligisa.”
[And it] comes to pass at Ahab’s seeing Elijah that Ahab says to him, “Are you he—the troubler of Israel?”
18 Ilaidia da bu adole i, “Na da bidi hamosu dunudafa hame. Be di amola dia ada alia da bidi hamosu dunu. Di da Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i amo mae nabawane hamone, ogogole ‘gode’ Ba: ile agoaila hahamoi amoma nodone sia: ne gadolala.
And he says, “I have not troubled Israel, but you and the house of your father, in your forsaking the commands of YHWH, and you go after the Ba‘alim;
19 Waha Isala: ili dunu huluane na gousa: musa: , Gamele Goumi amoga misa: ne sia: ma. Ilia da Ba: ile balofede dunu 450 agoane amola ogogole uda ‘gode’ Asila ea balofede dunu 400 agoane amo da hina bagade uda Yesebele ea fuligala: be, amo huluane oule misa.”
and now, send, gather all Israel to me, to the Mount of Carmel, and the four hundred and fifty prophets of Ba‘al, and the four hundred prophets of Asherah who are eating at the table of Jezebel.”
20 Amaiba: le, A:iha: be da Isala: ili dunu huluane amola Ba: ile balofede dunu huluane, Gamele Goumia gilisima: ne sia: i.
And Ahab sends among all the sons of Israel, and gathers the prophets to the Mount of Carmel;
21 Ilaidia da dunu huluanema asili, amane sia: i, “Dilia da habo wali seda ‘gode’ aduna elama fa: no bobogemusa: dadawa: loma: bela: ? Dilia da Hina Gode da Godedafa dawa: sea, Ema nodone sia: ne gadoma! Be dilia da Ba: ile da Godedafa dawa: sea, ema nodone sia: ne gadoma!” Be Isala: ili dunu da sia: afae hamedafa sia: i.
and Elijah comes near to all the people and says, “Until when are you leaping on the two branches? If YHWH [is] God, go after Him; and if Ba‘al, go after him”; and the people have not answered him a word.
22 Amalalu, Ilaidia da amane sia: i, “Na fawane da Hina Gode Ea balofede dunudafa esala. Be Ba: ile ea balofede dunu da 450 agoane esala.
And Elijah says to the people, “I have been left, by myself, a prophet of YHWH; and the prophets of Ba‘al [are] four hundred and fifty men;
23 Bulamagau gawali aduna gaguli misa! Ba: ile balofede dunu ilia da afae lale, medole, dasega: le, lalu habei da: iya ligisima. Be lalu mae ulagima. Na da bulamagau eno amoga ilia hamoi amo defele hamomu.
and let them give two bullocks to us, and they choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and place [it] on the wood, and place no fire; and I prepare the other bullock, and have put [it] on the wood, and I do not place fire—
24 Amalu, Ba: ile balofede dunu da ilia ‘gode’ma sia: ne gadoma: ma. Amola na da Hina Godema sia: ne gadomu. Amalu, nowa ea hahamoi lalu nene gala: be ba: sea, amo ilia ‘gode’ da Godedafa esalebe dawa: mu.” Dunu huluane da amo hamomu hou hahawane nababeba: le, wele sia: i.
and you have called in the name of your god, and I call in the Name of YHWH, and it has been, the god who answers by fire—He [is] the God.” And all the people answer and say, “The word [is] good.”
25 Ilaidia da Ba: ile balofede dunuma amane sia: i, “Dilia da dunu bagohameba: le, dili hidadea, bulamagau gawali lale, hahamoma. Dilia ‘gode’ma sia: ne gadoma, be lalu habei mae ulagisima.”
And Elijah says to the prophets of Ba‘al, “Choose one bullock for yourselves, and prepare [it] first, for you [are] the multitude, and call in the name of your god, and place no fire.”
26 Ilia da bulamagau gawali amo da ilima gaguli misi, amo lale hahamoi. Amalu, Ba: ilema sia: ne gadolalobawane, esomogoa doaga: i. Ilia da amane wele sia: i, “Ba: ile! Ba: ile! Ninia sia: ne gadobe nabima: i!” Amola, ilia da oloda ilia gagili, amo sisiga: le, gagafodudalu. Be amomane, Ba: ile da ilima dabe hame adole i.
And they take the bullock that [one] gave to them, and prepare [it], and call in the name of Ba‘al from the morning even until the noon, saying, “O Ba‘al, answer us!” And there is no voice, and there is none answering; and they leap on the altar that one had made.
27 Esomogoadafa, Ilaidia da iliba: le lalasogole oufesega: nu. E amane sia: i, “Bu ha: giwane sia: ne gadoma! E da ‘gode’! E da olobolala ganumu o baeya sowana ganumu. O e da logoba: le asi ganumu. O e da golai diala ganumu. Amo didilisima!”
And it comes to pass, at noon, that Elijah mocks at them and says, “Call with a loud voice, for he [is] a god, for he is meditating, or pursuing, or on a journey; it may be he is asleep, and awakes.”
28 Amaiba: le, balofede dunu da bu ha: giwane sia: ne gadole amola ilia hou defele, ili gobele gobihei amola nusi amoga fofa: ginanobawane, maga: me da a: idafia: i.
And they call with a loud voice, and cut themselves, according to their ordinance, with swords and with spears, until a flowing of blood [is] on them;
29 Ilia da dadoula sisiga: sa lafia: lalobawane, baloga doaga: i. Be dabe adole iasu sia: da afae hame nabi.
and it comes to pass, at the passing by of the noon, that they feign themselves prophets until the going up of the present, and there is no voice, and there is none answering, and there is none attending.
30 Amalalu, Ilaidia da dunu huluanema amane sia: i, “Nama gadenena misa.” Ilia da Ilaidiama gilisila misi. E da Hina Gode Ea oloda mugului, amo bu hahamoi.
And Elijah says to all the people, “Come near to me”; and all the people come near to him, and he repairs the altar of YHWH that is broken down;
31 E da gele fagoyale gala lai. Amo gele afae afae da Ya: igobe (Hina Gode da ema Isala: ili dio asuli) amo ea mano afae afae dawa: ma: ne, lai.
and Elijah takes twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of YHWH was, saying, “Israel is your name”;
32 Amo gelega, e da Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu oloda bu hahamoi. Oloda sisiga: le, e da hano logo amoga hano soga: sali amo nabai defei da 15 lida.
and he builds an altar with the stones, in the Name of YHWH, and makes a trench, as about the space of two measures of seed, around the altar.
33 Amalu, e da oloda da: iya, lalu habei ligisili, bulamagau dasega: le, fofonobone dadamuni ligisi. E amane sia: i, “Dilia da osoboga hamoi ofodo bagade biyaduyale amoga hano dili, amo bulamagau gobele salimu amo da: iya amola lalu habei da: iya sogaga: la: ma.” Ilia da amo defele hamoi.
And he arranges the wood, and cuts the bullock in pieces, and places [it] on the wood, and says, “Fill four pitchers of water, and pour [them] on the burnt-offering, and on the wood”;
34 E amane sia: i, “Bu hamoma!” Ilia da amane hamoi. E amane sia: i, “Bu hamoma!” Amola ilia da amane hamoi.
and he says, “Do [it] a second time”; and they do [it] a second time; and he says, “Do [it] a third time”; and they do [it] a third time;
35 Hano da gudu sa: ili, oloda sisiga: le, hano logo nabalesi.
and the water goes around the altar, and he has also filled the trench with water.
And it comes to pass, at the going up of the [evening] present, that Elijah the prophet comes near and says, “YHWH, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known today that You [are] God in Israel, and that I, Your servant, have done the whole of these things by Your word;
37 Baloga, ilia gobele salasu hamoma: ne ilegebe, balofede Ilaidia da oloda amoga asili, amane sia: ne gadoi, “Hina Gode! A: ibalaha: me amola Aisage amola Ya: igobe ilia Gode! Di da Isala: ili Godedafa, amola na da Dia hawa: hamosu dunu, amola na wali hamoi da Dia hamoma: ne sia: beba: le hamoi, Isala: ili dunu da amo huluane dafawaneyale dawa: ma: ne, Dia na adole ba: su sia: ne gadosu amoma dabe adole ima. Hina Gode! Nama bu adole ima. Isala: ili dunu da Di, Hina Gode, da Godedafa amola Di da ili Dima bu hiougilala, amo ilia da dawa: ma: ne, na sia: ne gadosu amo dabe adole ima.”
answer me, O YHWH, answer me, and this people [then] knows that You [are] YHWH God; and You have turned their heart backward.”
38 Hina Gode da lalu gudu sanasi. Lalu da gobele salasu bulamagau amola lalu habei amola gele amola osobo huluane nene dagoi. Amola hano amo hano logo ganodini dialu amo huluane hafoga: i dagoi ba: i.
And a fire falls [from] YHWH, and consumes the burnt-offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and it has licked up the water that [is] in the trench.
39 Dunu huluane da amo hou ba: beba: le, ilisu osoba gala: la sa: i. Ilia amane wele sia: i, “Hina Gode da Godedafa! Hina Gode Hisu da Godedafa!”
And all the people see, and fall on their faces, and say, “YHWH, He [is] the God! YHWH, He [is] the God!”
40 Ilaidia da amane hamoma: ne sia: i, “Ba: ile balofede dunu gagulaliligima! Dunu afae da maedafa hobeama: ma!” Isala: ili dunu da Ba: ile balofede dunu huluane gagulaliligi. Amola Ilaidia da ili oule, Gaisione Hanoga sa: ili, ili huluane fane lelegei.
And Elijah says to them, “Catch the prophets of Ba‘al; do not let a man escape from them”; and they catch them, and Elijah brings them down to the Brook of Kishon, and slaughters them there.
41 Amalalu, Ilaidia da hina bagade A: iha: bema amane sia: i, “Waha ha: i namasa! Na da gibu bagade olamabe naba!”
And Elijah says to Ahab, “Go up, eat and drink, because of the sound of the noise of the shower.”
42 A: iha: be da ha: i na ahoanoba, Ilaidia da Gamele Goumi da: iya heda: le, beguduli, osoboga muguni adoba dialuma bugi.
And Ahab goes up to eat, and to drink, and Elijah has gone up to the top of Carmel, and he stretches himself out on the earth, and he places his face between his knees,
43 E da ea hawa: hamosu dunuma amane sia: i, “Di da asili, hano wayabo bagade amoga ba: le gama!” Ea hawa: hamosu dunu da amo ba: la asili, bu misini, amane sia: i, “Na da liligi hamedafa ba: i.” Ilaidia da ema fesuale agoane ba: la afufuma: ne sia: i.
and says to his young man, “Now go up, look attentively [toward] the way of the sea”; and he goes up and looks attentively, and says, “There is nothing”; and he says, “Turn back,” seven times.
44 E da afufulala fesu amoga ba: la asi, bu misini, amane sia: i, “Na da mobi fonobahadi, dunu ea lobo agoai, amo baligili hame, be agoai fawane hano wayabo gudunini gado heda: lebe ba: i.” Ilaidia da ea hawa: hamosu dunuma amane sia: i, “hina bagade A: iha: bema asili, ea masunu logo gibuga ga: sa: besa: le, ea ‘sa: liode’ lale, amo da: iya fila heda: le, hi diasua hedolo masa: ne sia: ma.”
And it comes to pass, at the seventh, that he says, “Behold, a little thickness as the palm of a man is coming up out of the sea.” And he says, “Go up, say to Ahab, Bind and go down, and the shower does not restrain you.”
45 Fonobahadi aligili, mu da mobiga gasili gala: i ba: i, amola fo da muni misi amola gibu bagade da muni sa: i. A: iha: be da ea ‘sa: liode’ da: iya fila heda: le, Yeseliele moilai bai bagadega buhagi.
And it comes to pass, in the meantime, that the heavens have become black—thick clouds and wind—and the shower is great; and Ahab rides, and goes to Jezreel,
46 Hina Bagade Gode Ea gasa da misini, Ilaidiama doaga: i. Ilaidia da ea abula hina: bulu ga: sua ha: gidafa idiniginanu, A:iha: be fa: nonesilalu, ea bisili hehenaiya ahoana, Yeseliele amoma doaga: i.
and the hand of YHWH has been on Elijah, and he girds up his loins, and runs before Ahab, until your entering Jezreel.
