1 Hina 19
1 Hina bagade A: iha: be da idua Yesebelema, Ilaidia ea hamoi liligi, amola e da Ba: ile balofede dunu huluane fane lelegei, amo ema adodoi.
When Ahab got home, he told [his wife] Jezebel what Elijah had done. He told her that Elijah had killed all the prophets of Baal.
2 Yesebele da Ilaidiama amane sia: si, “Na da aya eso waha goegalu defele, dia balofede dunuma hamoi, amo defele dima hamoi dagoi ba: mu. Be na da amane hame hamosea, ‘gode’ ilia da na fane legemu da defea.”
So Jezebel sent this message to Elijah: “By this time tomorrow I will have [killed] you, just like you [killed all those prophets of Baal]. If I do not do that, I hope the gods will kill me.”
3 Ilaidia da beda: iba: le, ea esalusu gaga: ma: ne hobea: i. E da ea hawa: hamosu dunu oule asili, Biasiba moilai, Yuda soge ganodini, amoga hobea: i. Amogawi Ilaidia da ea hawa: hamosu dunu yolesili,
When Elijah received [her message], he was afraid. So [taking his servant with him], he fled in order that he would not be killed. He went [far south] to Beersheba, in Judah. He left his servant there.
4 dunu hame esalebe hafoga: i soge golili sa: ili, eso afaega emoga asi. E da aligili, ifa ougiha fili, da: i dioiba: le, hi bogomusa: hanai galu. E da amane sia: ne gadoi, “Hina Gode! Na da: i dioi da baligidafa! Na esalusu dagolesima! Na bogomu da defea gala.”
Then he went by himself further [south] into the desert. He walked all day. He sat down under a broom tree and prayed that [Yahweh] would allow him to die. He said, “Yahweh, I’ve had enough. So allow me to die, because for me to live is no better than [being with] my ancestors [who have died].”
5 E da ifa ougiha diasa: ili, golai dagoi. Hedololewane, a:igele dunu da ema digilisili, amane sia: i, “Nedigili, ha: i moma!”
Then he lay down under the broom tree and slept. But while he was sleeping, an angel touched him and [woke him up and] said to him, “Get up and eat some food!”
6 E ba: le gagalalu amola ba: loba, agi ga: gi amola osoboga hamoi ofodo amoga hano di, ea dialuma gadenene dialebe ba: i. E da amo nanu, bu diagudui.
Elijah looked around and saw some bread which had been baked on hot stones, and he also saw a jar of water. So he ate some bread and drank some water and lay down [to sleep] again.
7 Hina Gode ea a: igele dunu bu enowane misini, e didilisili, amane sia: i, “Nedigili ha: i moma! Hame amaia: da, dia masunu logo da sedadeba: le, di da gasa hame ba: mu.”
Then the angel [who had been sent by] Yahweh came again and touched him, and said, “Get up and eat some [more] food, because you need [more strength] to go on a long journey.”
8 Ilaidia da wa: legadole, ha: i amola hano mai. Ha: i na dagoiba: le, ea gasa bu lale, eso40 agoane ahoana, hadigi Goumi Sainai amoga doaga: i.
So he got up and ate and drank some more, and because of doing that, he got enough strength to enable him to travel for forty days and nights to Sinai Mountain, the mountain [that was dedicated to] God.
9 Amogawi, e da magufu gelabo ganodini golili sa: ili, gasi afae golai. Hedololewane, Hina Gode da ema amane adoi, “Ilaidia! Di da goega: i adi hamonanala: ?”
He went into a cave there and slept there that night. [The next morning, ] Yahweh said to him “Elijah, why are you here?”
10 E da bu adole i, “Hina Gode Bagadedafa! Na da eso huluane Dia hawa: hamosu fawane hamonanusu. Be Isala: ili dunu ilia da Dima Gousa: su Sema amo fili, Dia oloda mugululi, amola Dia balofede dunu huluane medole lelegei. Na fawane esala! Amola wali ilia da na fane legemusa: logo hogolala.”
Elijah replied, “I have zealously served you, Yahweh, God Almighty. But the Israeli people have broken the agreement that they made with you. They have torn down your altars, and they have killed all of your prophets. I am the only one whom they have not killed, and now they are trying to kill me, too. [So I am running away from them].”
11 Hina Gode da ema amane sia: i, “Gadili asili, goumi da: iya gado, Na midadi aligima!” Amalalu, Hina Gode da baligili ahoanoba, E da gasa bagade fo, amo da agolo dogoa a: ma: ne amola magufu huluane gagoudane sa: ima: ne iasi. Be Hina Gode da fo amo ganodini hame esalu. Fo manu da yolele, bebeda: nima misi. Be Hina Gode da bebeda: nima amo ganodini hame esalu.
Yahweh said to him, “Go out and stand in front of me on this mountain while I pass by.” [Suddenly] a strong windstorm struck the mountain. As a result, rocks were loosened from the mountainside. But Yahweh was not in the wind. Then there was an earthquake, but Yahweh was not in the earthquake.
12 Bebeda: nima manu fisili, lalu misi. Be Hina Gode da lalu ganodini hame esalu. Lalu nenanu fa: no, sadoga sia: be fonobahadi nabi.
Then there was a fire, but Yahweh was not in the fire. Then there was a sound like someone whispering quietly.
13 Ilaidia da amo nababeba: le, e da ea odagi ea abulaga dedebole, magufu gelabo logo holeiga asili, aligi. Sia: da ema amane sia: be nabi, “Ilaidia! Di da gui adi hamonanala: ?”
When Elijah heard that, he wrapped his cloak around his face. He went out of the cave and stood at its entrance. And he heard Yahweh speaking to him, saying again, “Elijah, why are you here?”
14 E da bu adole i, “Hina Gode Bagadedafa! Na da eso huluane Dia hawa: hamosu fawane hamonanusu. Be Isala: ili dunu ilia da Dima Gousa: su Sema amo fili, Dia oloda mugululi, amola Dia balofede dunu huluane medole lelegei. Na fawane esala! Amola wali ilia da na fane legemusa: logo hogolala.”
He replied again, “I have zealously served you, Yahweh, God Almighty. But the Israeli people have broken the agreement that they made with you. They have torn down your altars, and they have killed all of your prophets. I am the only one whom they have not killed, and now they are trying to kill me, too. [So I am running away from them].”
15 Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Hafoga: i soge Dama: saga: se moilai bai bagade gadenene, amoga asili, amalu amo ganodini golili sa: ili, Ha: sa: iele amo Silia soge fi hina bagade hamoma: ne susuligi sogagala: le ilegema!
Then Yahweh told him, “Go back to the desert near Damascus. When you arrive there, anoint [with olive oil] a man named Hazael, [to appoint him] to be the king of Syria.
16 Amola Yihiu (Nimisiai egefe) Isala: ili fi ilia hina bagade hamoma: ne, susuligi sogagala: le ilegema. Amola Ilaisia (e da Sia: ifa: de egefe A: ibele Mihoula moilaiga misi) amo di bagia balofede hamoma: ne, susuligi sogagala: le ilegema.
Then anoint Jehu, the son of Nimshi, to be the king of Israel, and also anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat, from Abel-Meholah [town], to become my prophet after you are dead.
17 Nowa da Ha: sa: iele ea hame fane legei esalebe ba: sea, Yihiu da fane legemu, amola nowa da Yihiu ea hame fane legei esalebe ba: sea, Ilaisia ea fane legemu.
Hazael’s army [will kill many people, and] those who escape from [being killed by] his army will be killed by Jehu’s [army], and those who escape from [being killed by] Jehu’s army will be killed by Elisha.
18 Be Na da Isala: ili soge ganodini dunu 7,000 agoane esaloma: ne ilegei. Amo huluane da Nama fa: no bobogesu hame yolesi, amola Ba: ilema hame begudui, amola ea loboga hamoi agoaila hame nonogosu.”
But [you need to know that] there are still 7,000 people in Israel who have never bowed to [worship] Baal or kissed his [idol].”
19 Ilaidia da asili, Ilaisia amo bulamagau mogi bisili osobo gidinanebe ba: i. Bulamagau momogi gidanesi ilia da e fa: nonesili bisili osobo gidinanebe ba: i. Ilaidia da ea abula gisa: le, Ilaisiama ga: si.
So Elijah went [to Syria] and found Elisha as he was plowing a field with a team of oxen. There were eleven other men who were in front of him, plowing with teams of oxen in the same field. Elijah went to Elisha, and took off his own coat and put it on Elisha, [to show Elisha that he wanted him to take his place as a prophet. Then he started to walk away].
20 Ilaisia da ea bulamagau yolesilalu, Ilaidia boboge hehenaia asili, amane sia: i, “Na da na ada amola na: me elama nonogone asigi sia: sia: nu, na da ani masunu da defeala: ?” Ilaidia da bu adole i, “Defea! Buhagima! Na da di hame segesa!”
Elisha left the oxen standing there and ran after Elijah, and said to him, “I will go with you, but first let me kiss my parents goodbye.” Elijah replied, “Okay, go home. But do not forget why I have [given my cloak] to you!”
21 Amalalu, Ilaisia da asili, ea bulamagau mogi amo fane lelegele, ilia ‘youge’ ifa amo lalu didili, amoga gobei. E da bulamagau hu ea fi dunu ilima sagolalu, ili mai. Amalu, e da Ilaidia fidisu dunu hamomusa: , ema fa: no bobogei.
So Elisha went back [to his oxen]. He killed them [and cut them in pieces] and used the wood from the plow to build a fire to roast the meat. He distributed the meat to the other people [in his town], and they all ate some. Then he went with Elijah and became his helper.
