1 Hari 19
1 Gisuginlan ni Ahab si Jezebel sa tanang gihimo ni Elias ug kung giunsa niya pagpatay ang tanang mga propeta pinaagi sa espada.
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 Unya nagpadala si Jezebel ug mensahero ngadto kang Elias, nga miingon, “Hinaot nga buhaton kana sa mga dios kanako ug mas labaw pa, kung dili nako mahimo sa imong kinabuhi ang sama sa kinabuhi niadtong nangamatay nga mga propeta ugma sa sama niini nga takna.”
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 Sa dihang nadungog kini ni Elias, mitindog siya ug mikalagiw alang sa iyang kinabuhi ug miadto didto sa Beersheba, nga nahisakop sa Juda, ug gibiyaan niya ang iyang sulugoon didto.
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 Apan siya sa iyang kaugalingon milakaw ug usa ka adlaw nga panaw didto sa kamingawan, ug miabot siya ug milingkod ilalom sa kahoy nga Enebro. Nanghangyo siya alang sa iyang kaugalingon nga mamatay na unta siya, ug miingon, “Husto na kini, karon, Yahweh; kuhaa na ang akong kinabuhi, kay ako dili man labing maayo kaysa akong nangamatay nga mga katigulangan.
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 Busa mihigda siya ug natulog ilalom sa kahoy nga Enebro. Sa kalit lang mihikap kaniya ang manulonda ug miingon, “Bangon ug kaon.”
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 Mitan-aw si Elias, ug duol sa iyang ulohan adunay tinapay nga giluto sa mga uling ug usa ka tibod nga tubig. Busa mikaon ug miinom siya, ug mihigda pagbalik.
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 Mitungha pag-usab ang manulonda ni Yahweh sa ikaduha nga higayon ug gihikap siya nga nag-ingon, “Bangon ug kaon, tungod kay halayo kaayo ang panaw alang kanimo.”
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 Busa mibangon siya ug mikaon ug miinom, ug mipanaw siya nga adunay kusog pinaagi niadtong pagkaon sulod sa 40 ka mga adlaw ug 40 ka mga gabii padulong sa Horeb, ang bukid sa Dios.
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 Miadto siya sa usa ka langob ug nagpabilin didto, unya miabot ang pulong ni Yahweh ug miingon kaniya, “Nag-unsa ka man dinhi, Elias?”
He went into a cave there and slept there that night. [The next morning, ] Yahweh said to him “Elijah, why are you here?”
10 Mitubag si Elias, “Nagmakugihon ako sa hilabihan kang Yahweh, ang pangulo sa mga kasundalohan sa angel, kay mitalikod ang katawhan sa Israel sa imong kasabotan, gigun-ob ang imong mga halaran, ug gipatay ang imong mga propeta pinaagi sa espada. Karon ako, ako na lamang, ang nahibilin ug misulay sila sa pagkuha sa akong kinabuhi.”
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 Mitubag si Yahweh, “Gawas ug barog ibabaw sa bukid sa akong atubangan.” Unya milabay si Yahweh, ug ang hilabihan ka kusog nga hangin mihampak sa mga bukid ug nangadugmok ang mga bato sa atubangan ni Yahweh, apan wala si Yahweh diha sa hangin. Unya pagkahuman sa hangin, miabot ang linog, apan wala si Yahweh diha sa linog.
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 Unya pagkahuman sa linog miabot ang usa ka kalayo, apan wala si Yahweh diha sa kalayo. Unya pagkahuman sa kalayo, miabot ang usa ka malinawon ug diyutay nga tingog.
Then there was a fire, but Yahweh was not in the fire. Then there was a sound like someone whispering quietly.
13 Sa pagkadungog ni Elias sa tingog, gitabonan niya ang iyang nawong sa iyang kupo, migawas ug mitindog sa baba sa langob. Unya miabot ngadto kaniya ang usa ka tingog nga naga-ingon, “Nag-unsa ka man dinhi, Elias?”
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 Mitubag si Elias, “Nagmakugihon ako sa hilabihan kang Yahweh, ang pangulo sa mga kasundalohan sa angel, tungod kay mitalikod ang katawhan sa Israel sa imong kasabotan, gigun-ob ang imong mga halaran ug gipatay ang imong mga propeta pinaagi sa espada. Karon ako, ako na lamang, nahibilin ug misulay sila sa pagkuha sa akong kinabuhi.”
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 Unya miingon si Yahweh kaniya, “Lakaw, balik sa imong dalan padulong sa kamingawan sa Damascus, ug sa pag-abot nimo dihogan nimo si Hazael nga mamahimong hari sa tibuok Aram,
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 ug dihogan nimo si Jehu ang anak nga lalaki ni Nimshi nga mamahimong hari sa tibuok Israel, ug dihogan nimo si Eliseo ang anak nga lalaki ni Shafat sa Abel Mehola nga mamahimong propeta puli kanimo.
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 Mahitabo kini nga pamatyon ni Jehu si bisan kinsa nga makalingkawas sa espada ni Hazael, ug pagapatyon ni Eliseo si bisan kinsa nga makaikyas gikan sa espada ni Jehu.
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 Apan magbilin ako alang sa akong kaugalingon ug 7, 000 ka mga katawhan sa Israel, kadtong wala miluhod kang Baal, ug kadtong wala mohalok kaniya.”
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 Busa mibiya si Elias didto ug nakaplagan niya si Eliseo ang anak nga lalaki ni Shafat, nga nagdaro uban ang dose ka mga yugo sa torong baka nga naga-una kaniya, ug nagdaro usab siya ug ikadose ka yugo. Miduol si Elias kang Eliseo ug gitabonan niya siya sa iyang kupo.
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 Unya gibiyaan ni Eliseo ang iyang torong baka ug midagan sunod kang Elias; miingon siya, “Palihog tugoti ako nga mohalok sa akong amahan ug sa akong inahan unya mosunod ako kanimo.” Unya miingon si Elias kaniya, “Balik, apan hunahunaa kung unsa ang akong gibuhat kanimo.”
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 Busa mibalik si Eliseo kang Elias ug gitangtang ang yugo sa torong baka, gipatay ang mga hayop, giluto ang karne ug gisugnod ang kahoy sa yugo sa torong baka. Unya gipanghatag niya kini sa katawhan ug nangaon sila. Unya mitindog siya, milakaw sunod kang Elias ug nag-alagad kaniya.
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.
