1 Ruodhi 19
1 Koro Ahab nonyiso Jezebel mago duto mane Elija nosetimo kendo kaka nosenego jonabi gi ligangla,
And Achab told Jezabel all that Elias had done, and how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
2 omiyo Jezebel nooro jaote ir Elija mondo owachne niya, “Mad nyiseche timna kata bedi ni en malit machalo nade ka kiny sa ma kama ok atimo ni ngimani machal gi achiel kuom jonabigo.”
And Jezabel sent a messenger to Elias, saying: Such and such things may the gods do to me, and add still more, if by this hour tomorrow I make not thy life as the life of one of them.
3 Elija ne luor kendo noringo nikech ngimane. Kane obiro Bersheba e Juda, noweyo jatichne kanyo,
Then Elias was afraid, and rising up he went whithersoever he had a mind: and he came to Bersabee of Juda, and left his servant there,
4 ka en to nodhi e wuodh ndalo achiel e thim. Nochopo e tiend yien ma wiye opedhore mobedo e tiende kendo nolamo ni mad otho. Nowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye, aseneno moroma, kaw ngimana, ok aber moloyo kwerena.”
And he went forward, one day’s journey into the desert. And when he was there, and sat under a juniper tree, he requested for his soul that he might die, and said: It is enough for me, Lord, take away my soul: for I am no better than my fathers.
5 Eka nonindo e tiend yien ma nindo otere. Mapiyo piyo nono malaika nomule mowachone niya, “Chungʼ malo mondo ichiem.”
And he cast himself down, and slept in the shadow of the juniper tree: and behold an angel of the Lord touched him, and said to him: Arise and eat.
6 Nongʼicho kendo noyudo makati matin maliet motedi gi makaa koketi but wiye kod pi e agulu. Nochiemo mometho eka bangʼe kendo nodok monindo.
He looked, and behold there was at his head a hearth cake, and a vessel of water: and he ate and drank, and he fell asleep again.
7 Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye noduogo ire mar ariyo kendo nomule mowachone niya, “Chungi mondo ichiem nimar wuoth pod bor.”
And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and said to him: Arise, eat: for thou hast yet a great way to go.
8 Kamano nochungʼ mi ochiemo kendo ometho. Kane osechiemo noyudo teko mowuotho ndalo piero angʼwen, odiechiengʼ gotieno nyaka Horeb, got mar Nyasaye.
And he arose, and ate, and drank, and walked in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights, unto the mount of God, Horeb.
9 Kanyo nodonjo ei rogo monindo kanyo. Kendo wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirone mawachone niya, “En angʼo mitimo ka, Elija?”
And when he was come thither, he abode in a cave: and behold the word of the Lord came unto him, and he said to him: What dost thou here, Elias?
10 Nodwoko niya, “Asebedo katiyo matek ni Jehova Nyasaye Maratego. Jo-Israel osekwedo singruokni, gisemuko kende mag misengini kendo nego jonabigi gi ligangla. An kenda ema adongʼ kendo koro gidwaro nega.”
And he answered: With zeal have I been zealous for the Lord God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant: they have thrown down thy altars, they have slain thy prophets with the sword, and I alone am left, and they seek my life to take it away.
11 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Wuogi mondo idhi ichungi ewi got e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, nimar Jehova Nyasaye chiegni kadho.” Eka yamo maduongʼ makudho matek nobaro got mokeyo kite e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, to Jehova Nyasaye ne onge e yamono. Bangʼ yamono piny noyiengni, to Jehova Nyasaye ne onge e yiengni pinyno.
And he said to him: Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord: and behold the Lord passeth, and a great and strong wind before the Lord over throwing the mountains, and breaking the rocks in pieces: the Lord is not in the wind, and after the wind an earthquake: the Lord is not in the earthquake.
12 Bangʼ yiengni pinyno mach nobiro, to Jehova Nyasaye ne onge ei majno. To bangʼ majno yamo makudho mos nobiro.
And after the earthquake a fire: the Lord is not in the fire, and after the fire a whistling of a gentle air.
13 Kane Elija owinje noumo wangʼe gi law abola mowuok oko kochungʼ e dho rogo. Eka dwol nowuoyo kode kawacho niya, “En angʼo mitimo ka Elija?”
And when Elias heard it, he covered his face with his mantle, and coming forth stood in the entering in of the cave, and behold a voice unto him, saying: What dost thou here, Elias? And he answered:
14 Nodwoko niya, “Asebedo katiyo matek ni Jehova Nyasaye Maratego. Jo-Israel osekwedo singruokni, gisemuko kende mag misengini kendo nego jonabigi gi ligangla. An kenda ema adongʼ kendo koro gidwaro nega.”
With zeal have I been zealous for the Lord God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant: they have destroyed thy altars, they have slain thy prophets with the sword, and I alone am left, and they seek my life to take it away.
15 Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Dog gi yo mane ibirogo kendo idhi e thim mar Damaski. Ka ichopo kuno, to wir Hazael mondo obed ruodh Aram.
And the Lord said to him: Go, and return on thy way through the desert to Damascus: and when thou art come thither, thou shalt anoint Hazael to be king over Syria.
16 Bende wir Jehu wuod Nimshi obed ruodh Israel, kendo iwir Elisha wuod Shafat ma ja-Abel Mehola mondo okaw kari kaka janabi.
And thou shalt anoint Jehu the son of Namsi to be king over Israel: and Eliseus the son of Saphat, of Abelmeula, thou shalt anoint to be prophet in thy room.
17 Jehu biro nego ngʼato angʼata motony e ligangla mar Hazael kendo Elisha biro nego ngʼato angʼata motony e ligangla Jehu.
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall escape the sword of Hazael, shall be slain by Jehu: and whosoever shall escape the sword of Jehu, shall be slain by Eliseus.
18 To kata mana sani an gi jodolo alufu abiriyo e piny Israel duto mapok okulore ne Baal, kendo ma pod olame ka nyodhe.”
And I will leave me seven thousand men in Israel, whose knees have not been bowed before Baal, and every mouth that hath not worshipped him kissing the hands.
19 Omiyo Elija nowuok kanyo modhi oyudo Elisha wuod shafat. Nopuro gi rwedhi motwe e jok apar gariyo kendo en owuon ema nochwado rwedhi machien. Elija nodhi machiegni kendo nobolo lawe mar abola kuome.
And Elias departing from thence, found Eliseus the son of Saphat, ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen: and he was one of them that were ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen: and when Elias came up to him, he cast his mantle upon him.
20 Elisha noweyo rwethe mag pur moringo koluwo bangʼ Elija. Nowachone niya, “Yie iwe ago ne wuonwa kod minwa oriti bangʼe to abiro dhiyo kodi.” Elija nodwoke niya, “Dogi, en angʼo ma asetimo?”
And he forthwith left the oxen and ran after Elias, and said: Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said to him: Go, and return back: for that which was my part, I have done to thee.
21 Omiyo Elisha noweye modok. Nokawo rwethe mag pur moyangʼogi. Nowangʼo gik mane opurogo mondo ochwakgo ringʼo mi nomiyo ji kendo gichamo. Eka nochako wuoth moluwo bangʼ Elija kendo nobedo jakonyne.
And returning back from him, he took a yoke of oxen, and killed them, and boiled the flesh with the plough of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate: and rising up he went away, and followed Elias, and ministered to him.
