1 Kings 18
1 And it came to pass after many days, that the word of Jehovah came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, Go, show thyself to Ahab, and I will send rain upon the earth.
Phat chomkhat jou, gojuh louna kum thum alhin phat in, Pakajin Elijah kom’ah, “Chenlang Ahab lengpa kom’ah, ‘Pakaiyin ajuhsah vahding ahitai gatin,” ati.
2 And Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. And the famine was severe in Samaria.
Hichun Elijah jong Ahab kom’ah achen ahi. A langkhat na Samaria khopia chun kel ana khoh lheh jing in ahi.
3 And Ahab called Obadiah, who was over the household. (Now Obadiah feared Jehovah greatly;
Hijeh chun Ahab chun khopi vesuija pang Obadiah chu ana kouvin ahi. Amachu chu Pakai nungjui dih tah ahi.
4 for it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of Jehovah, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifties in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)
Jezebel’in Pakai themgao jouse tha gam sohkei ding ana got laichun, hiche Obadiah kitipa hin songko mun nia themgao jakhat ana huhdoh in ahi. Aman songko khatna mi som nga nga in ana sellin ama ho chu an le twi ana pen ahi.
5 And Ahab said to Obadiah, Go through the land, to all the fountains of water, and to all the brooks. Perhaps we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive, that we not lose all the beasts.
Ahab in Obadiah kom’ah, “Chen lang gamsung jouse ga kholsoh kei jin twinah jouse gaven chuleh phaicham jouse jong gachon soh keijin, ijeh nem itileh ham hing pouna munkhat beh imudoh uva ka sakol holeh sakol pol phabep beh i-hinso thei khat diuham,” ati.
6 So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it; Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
Hitichun amani chu gamsung khol ding chun akihom khen lhonin, Ahab jong amatah akipan in gamkai lang khat cheh jonin aki homkhen lhon tan ahi.
7 And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him. And he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Is it thou, my lord Elijah?
Hitia chu Obadiah avale leh, photlot louvin Elijah chu ama komlang ahin jonin ahi. Obadiah chun amachu ahe peijing in, a angsung’ah abohkhup in ahi. Aman ajah’a, “Kapu Elijah na hilou haimo?” atileh,
8 And he answered him, It is I. Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
Elijah in, “Ka hinai tun chen lang napupa kom’ah, ‘Elijah hikom’ah aum’e’ ga tin,” ati.
9 And he said, How have I sinned that thou would deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab to kill me?
Ahivangin Obadiah chun, “Ipi pen tah’a koiman chonset na kaneiya, nangman na sohpa keima hi, Ahab khutna nei peh doh’a ama thasah ding neiti ham?” ati.
10 As Jehovah thy God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my lord has not sent to seek thee. And when they said, He is not here, he took an oath from the kingdom and nation that they did not find thee.
“Hingjing Pakai na Pathen min’a kasei ahi, kapu Ahab in nangma holnan leiset chunga lenggam jouse le nam jouse hi kolkim vella ahol soh ahitai. Elijah hikom ah aumpoi tihi ama kom alhut teng ule hiche lenggam mite chu aki hahsel sahji ahi.
11 And now thou say, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
Ahinla tun nangman napupa jah’a, ‘Elijah hikom ah aum’e’ ga tin neitin.
12 And it will come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of Jehovah will carry thee where I know not. And so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he will kill me. But I thy servant fear Jehovah from my youth.
Ahin nangma ka dalhah lhah teng lhagao vin nangma ka het khahlouna mun khat ah, nalhoh mang kit’in tin, Ahab in nangma na mudoh lou ding ahi. Hiteng chuleh na sohpa keima hi Pathen gingtah mi kahi vang'in Ahab chun ei thalo tei ding ahi.
13 Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid a hundred men of Jehovah's prophets by fifties in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?
Jezebel lengnun Pakai Themgao te thagam dia agot laiya, thilsoh chu koiman na jah’a aseilou ham? Keiman themgao ho jakhat chu songko nia kana seldoh’a an le twi kana peh ahi.
14 And now thou say, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here, and he will kill me.
Ahin tun nangin chenlang napupa jaha, ‘Elijah hikom ah aum’e,’ gatin nati. Hepu, hichu ka seileh Ahab in eitha teitei ding ahi,” ati.
15 And Elijah said, As Jehovah of hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself to him today.
Ahinlah Elijah in, “Keima a-angsung’a kadin jing, Pakai thanei pen minna kihahsel’a kasei ahi, tuni tah’a hi Ahab chu keiman ka kimupi tei ding ahi,” ati.
16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him, and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
Hijeh chun Obadiah in Ahab kom’ah, “Elijah ahung’e,” aga tin ahileh, Ahab chu Elijah toh kimuto dingin achen ahi.
17 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, Is it thou, thou troubler of Israel?
Ahab in amuphat in ahin samin, “Israel suboi jingpa nangma na hung hinam?” atin ahi.
18 And he answered, I have not troubled Israel, but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of Jehovah, and thou have followed the Baalim.
Elijah in adonbut in, “Keiman Israel kasuboi poi, nangma le na insung mite in na suhboi ahibouve, ajeh chu nangin Pakai thupeh nitlouvin, Baal semthu Pathen joh na hou uvin ahi.
19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel to mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the Asherah four hundred, who eat at Jezebel's table.
Tun Israelte jouse Carmel mol’ah khom in, Baal themgao jali le somnga toh Asherah themgao jali Jazebel in avah ho chu kouvin,” ati.
20 So Ahab sent to all the sons of Israel, and gathered the prophets together to mount Carmel.
Hiti chun Ahab in Israel mipi hole themgao hochu Carmel mol ah akou khom in ahi.
21 And Elijah came near to all the people, and said, How long do ye go limping between the two sides? If Jehovah be God, follow him, but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
Hichun Elijah chu amaho masang ah ading doh in, “Phat i-chanpi hi lunggel khenna nei louva lungni pu’a naum jom jing nahlai diuham? Pakai hi Pathen ahi natiu leh jui jeng’un, ahinla Baal hi pathen ahi natiu leh jui jeng’un,” atin ahi. Ahinlah mipi chu athipchet jeng un ahi.
22 Then Elijah said to the people, I, even I only, am left a prophet of Jehovah, but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
Hijou chun Elijah in amaho kom’ah asei tai, “Pakai themgao aki hinghoiya keima changbou kahi tai, Baal doi themgao ho vang jali le somnga alhing uve.
23 Let them therefore give us two bullocks, and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under. And I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under.
Tun bongchal ni hin kailut uvin lang, amahon bongchal khat kilhen masat uvintin, that’u henlang, asemtel jou teng uleh thinglom chung’a khun koi uhen, meivang ati theilou diu ahi. Kenjong bongchal khat joh chu that ing ting thinglom chunga koi jing tin ama vang mei kati lou ding ahi.
24 And call ye on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of Jehovah. And the God that answers by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.
Hijou teng chuleh na pathen’u min kou un, chule keiman ka Pakai min kakou ding ahi. Hiteng chuleh mei konga hin donbut pen penchu, Pathen dih ahi ti hetna ahi jenge,” ati. Hichu mipi hon a-nop peh tauvin ahi.
25 And Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first, for ye are many, and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under.
Hichun Elijah in Baal themgao ho kom ah, “Nangho atamjo nahiuvin, bol masauvin,” ati. Hichun bongchal khat joh chu kilhen unlang kisem un, na pathen’u chu kou’un, amavang thinglom chung’a chun mei tih hih un,” ati.
26 And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped about the altar which was made.
Hiti chun amahon bongchal khat chu alheng un, athat un, asem toh un, maicham chung achun akoiyun, jingkah’a pat sun gei jin, “O Baal neihouvun” tin apeng peng jeng tauvin ahi. Hijou chun amaho alam’un, maicham vella chun asuh chop atou chop jing un ahi.
27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is meditating, or he is gone aside, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he sleeps and must be awakened.
Sun kim ahung hi phat’in, Elijah chun amaho chu atot in, “Na hasap jep’u ngai inte ajeh chu ama pathen ahin, asun imut phat ahi loule, aki choldo phat ahilou leh akhol jin pet ahiloule, a imut pet hija suhkhah ngai himai thei ahi,” ati peh’e.
28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lances, till the blood gushed out upon them.
Hijeh chun amahon, ahasap cheh, aha sap cheh jeng un chuleh achon na’u dungjuijin chemcha le chamjam in athi’u ahung kikhodoh masang sen aki at-chen chen jeng un ahi.
29 And it was so, when midday was past, that they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening oblation, but there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.
Hiti chun nilhah lam kilhai phatdon geiyin akap’un apengun, ahivangin, ogin ima la aja pouvin i-macha donbut na amu deh pouvin ahi.
30 And Elijah said to all the people, Come near to me. And all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of Jehovah that was thrown down.
Chutah chun Elijah jong chun mipi jouse jah’a, “Nei hin nai lut uvin,” atileh mipi abonchauvin ahenga ahung ki khinlut soh tauve. Hichun Elijah chun Pakai maicham akivo chimsa chu asem phan ahi.
31 And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob to whom the word of Jehovah came, saying, Israel shall be thy name.
Hichun aman Israel phungkhat cheh thalheng dingin songtum somle ni ana lhoh khom’in ahi.
32 And with the stones he built an altar in the name of Jehovah. And he made a trench around the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.
Chuleh song tumho chunga chun Pakai min in maicham anathah semin ahi.
33 And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it on the wood. And he said, Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt offering, and on the wood.
Elijah chun thinglom jong chu agol gol in ajamin chuin bongchal chu asemtel tel’in, thinglom chunga chun ajamtan ahi. Hichun Elijah in asei jin, “Twi dimset set bel li gadom uvin lang, pumgo thilto chung le thinglom chunga chun chap kot sohkei jun,” ati.
34 And he said, Do it the second time, and they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time, and they did it the third time.
Hichu aboljou un, Elijah in, “Bol kit uvin,” atin ahileh ama hon avellin abolkit tauve. Aman asol kit’in, “Thumvei lhin nan ga bol kit uvin,” atia ahileh mihon jong athumvei lhinan abolkit tauve.
35 And the water ran round about the altar, and he also filled the trench with water.
Hiti chun maicham kimvel a chun twi along dimset tan, twilam jong chu twi adimset tan ahi.
36 And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening oblation, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, O Jehovah, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou are God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.
Nilhah lang pumgo thilto phat donin, Elijah themgao pachu maicham muna akal touvin atao tan ahi. “Vo Pakai Abraham Pathen, Isaac Pathen, Jacob Pathen tuni nikho’a hin nangma hi Israel Pathen nahina leh keima hi nasohpa kahina hinphong doh in, hicheho jouse hi nangma thupeh’a kana bol ahi jong hi hinphong doh in.
37 Hear me, O Jehovah, hear me, that this people may know that thou, Jehovah, are God, and that thou have turned their heart back again.
“Vo Pakai neihin donbut in! Hiche mite hin nangma hi Pakai Pathen na hin chule nang in alungthim’u hi nanga dinga nale heipeh’u ahitai tihi ahet doh diu ahi,” ati.
38 Then the fire of Jehovah fell, and consumed the burnt offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
Chutah chun Pakaiya konin meikong ahung lenglhan, pumgo thilto bongchal sa chu aka vam jengin, thinglom jong akavam jeng in, leivui jong aleo go jengin, twilam’a twivei jeng jong chu ahul go hel jing in ahi.
39 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces. And they said, Jehovah, he is God, Jehovah, he is God.
Mipin hiche thilsoh hi amudoh phat uvin, amai’u tol’ah asulut cheh uvin hitin aseitauve, “Pakai amahi Pathen ahi, ahiye, Pakai hi Pathen ahi,” atiuve.
40 and Elijah said to them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them, and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and killed them there.
Hijou chun Elijah in mipi ho chu thu apen, “Baal themgao hochu man’un, khatcha jong lhaso hih’un,” ati. Hichun mipi hon amaho chu aman’un, Elijah in Kishon phaichama apui suh in abonchauvin athat gam tan ahi.
41 And Elijah said to Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of abundance of rain.
Chuin Elijah chun Ahab komah, “Chenlang an ga nen lang twi ga don tan ajeh chu keiman gojuh na dinga van kithin husa kajatai,” ati.
42 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel, and he bowed himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees.
Hitichun Ahab jong achen an anen twi adon in ahi. Ahinla Elijah chu Carmel molchunga akaldoh in, tol achun akun chah kheh in, akhup teni kikah’a amai asulut in, akun kheh in ahi.
43 And he said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.
Chuin asohpa jah’a, “Chen lang twikhanglen lam khu gave tan,” ati. Hichun asohpa jong achen agaven, Elijah kom a ahung kile kit in “Ima kamupoi” ati. Sagivei jen Elijah chun achea aga vet ding'in anasollin ahi.
44 And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, a cloud rises out of the sea, as small as a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say to Ahab, Make ready thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain not stop thee.
Asagi vei channa chun asoh pan hitin aseiye, “Vetan, meilhang neo cha mihem khut phang tibep khat hi twikhanglen na konin ahung ki tung doh’e,” ati. Chuphat in Elijah chun asohpa jah’a, “Ahab kom achun cheloijin lang hitin hin ga seipeh in, ‘Na sakol kangtalai ah chun kaldoh inlang na inlanga cheloijin achuti louva ahile geisang le chun gojuh in na lap ding, nache theilou ding ahi, ga tipeh in,” ati.
45 And it came to pass in a little while, that the heavens grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.
Hichejou jou chun, van ahung thimcheh cheh jengin, meilom ahung kikhom khom jeng tan hui ahung nungpan tai, chuin go ha juh in ahung jun ahi. Ahab chu asakol kangtalai akitol in Jezreel henglam’ah gangtah in achetan ahi.
46 And the hand of Jehovah was on Elijah, and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
Hichun Pakaiyin Elijah chu thahatna jat chombeh apen, aman jong atai akigah in, Ahab masang’ah ana kheltan in Jezreel kot phunga a ana lam tin kittan ahi.
