1 Kings 18
1 After a long time, in the third year of the drought, the word of the LORD came to Elijah: “Go and present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain upon the face of the earth.”
Hagi ko'ma oruno zagema reno e'nea knamofo namba 3 kafurera, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Elaijana asami'ne, vunka kini ne' Ahapuna kavugosa ome averi nehunka, ama mopafina Ra Anumzamo'a kora atrenigeno hago rugahie hunka ome asamio.
2 So Elijah went to present himself to Ahab. The famine was severe in Samaria,
Ananke'ma nentahino'a, Ahapu avure vunaku Elaija'a vu'ne. Ana knafina Sameria kaziga tusi agatontonkna fore hu'ne.
3 and Ahab summoned Obadiah, who was in charge of the palace. (Now Obadiah greatly feared the LORD,
Hagi Ahapu'a noma'amofo kva ne' Obediana kehigeno' e'ne. Obedia'a Ra Anumzamofona koro hunteno, agorga'a nemania nere.
4 for when Jezebel had slaughtered the prophets of the LORD, Obadiah had taken a hundred prophets and hidden them, fifty men per cave, providing them with food and water.)
Hagi Jesebeli'ma Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa vahetmima zamahe vagamaneregeno'a, 100'a kasnampa vahera zamavareno 50'a mago havegampi nezmanteno, 50'a mago havegampi frakizmanteneno, tine ne'zanena zamitere hu'ne.
5 Then Ahab said to Obadiah, “Go throughout the land to every spring and every valley. Perhaps we will find grass to keep the horses and mules alive so that we will not have to destroy any livestock.”
Hagi Ahapu'a amanage huno Obadiana asami'ne, Maka tinkrahopine aguporamipinena knare trazama me'nenigura haketa, ama hosi afutamine, donki afutamimo'zama fri'zankura zamaza hanunke'za manisageta zamahe ofrisune.
6 So they divided the land to explore. Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went the other way by himself.
Anage nehuke mago kaziga moparega Ahapu'a agraku vigeno, mago kaziga moparega Obadia'a agraku vu'ne.
7 Now as Obadiah went on his way, Elijah suddenly met him. When Obadiah recognized him, he fell facedown and said, “Is it you, my lord Elijah?”
Hagi Obadia'a agraku nevuno, Elaijana ome tutagiha hu'ne. Hagi Obedia'ama Elaijama keno antahinoma nehuno'a, avugosaregati mopafi umaseno amanage hu'ne, ranimoka, kagra tamage Elaijago?
8 “It is I,” he answered. “Go tell your master, ‘Elijah is here!’”
Higeno Elaija'a amanage hune, Izo nagragi, vunka kvaka'amofona Elaija'a hago e'ne hunka ome asamio.
9 But Obadiah replied, “How have I sinned, that you are handing your servant over to Ahab to put me to death?
Anante Obedia'a amanage hu'ne, Eri'za vahekamo'na nagra na'a kumi hugenka, Ahapu'ma nahe frinogura hunenantane?
10 As surely as the LORD your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my lord has not sent someone to search for you. When they said, ‘He is not here,’ he made that kingdom or nation swear that they had not found you.
Na'ankure Ra Anumzana kasefa huno mani'nea Anumzanka'amofo avufi tamage hu'na huvempa huankino, kini ne'mo'a maka ama mopafima me'nea kumatmimpina kagrikura hake vagare'ne. Ana nehuno mago mago kumate'ma hakeno'ma nevuno'a, ana kumate kini vahetmima zamantahigege'za, i'o omani'nema hazageno'a, kini ne' Ahapu'a huvempa huta tamage hiho higeno, tamage huta onke'nona hu'za hu'naze.
11 And now you say, ‘Go tell your master that Elijah is here!’
Higenka menina nagrikura amanage nehane, Elaija'a ne-e hunka ranka'amofona ome asamio hunka nehane.
12 I do not know where the Spirit of the LORD may carry you off when I leave you. Then when I go and tell Ahab and he does not find you, he will kill me. But I, your servant, have feared the LORD from my youth.
Hianagi katre'nama amaretima nevanugeno'a, Ra Anumzamofo Avamu'mo'a onkenurega kavresga huno vugahie. Ana'ma hanigeno'ma Ahapuma ome asamisugeno eno eme kesiama omani'nesankeno'a, nagra ositeti'ma manina e'noana, Ra Anumzamofonku korora hunte'na agoraga'a mani'na e'noanagi, nahe frigahie.
13 Was it not reported to my lord what I did when Jezebel slaughtered the prophets of the LORD? I hid a hundred prophets of the LORD, fifty men per cave, and I provided them with food and water.
Hagi Jesebeli'ma Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa vahe'tmima zamahe hana'ma nehigenama hu'noa zana, ranimoka onkasami'nazo? Nagra 100'a kasnampa vahetami refko hu'na 50'a mago havegampi fraki zamante'na, mago 50'a mago havegampina fraki zamante'nena ne'zane tinena zamami'noe.
14 And now you say, ‘Go tell your lord that Elijah is here!’ He will kill me!”
Hagi menina kagra hunka Elaija'a hago e'ne hunka ome asamio nehanankina, nagrama ome asami'nugeno eme hakesiama omani'nenankeno'a nahe frigahie.
15 Then Elijah said, “As surely as the LORD of Hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will present myself to Ahab today.”
Hagi anagema higeno'a, Elaija'a amanage huno asami'ne, Amage'ma nentoa Ra Anumzana kasefa huno mani'nea Hihamu'ane Anumzamofo avufi tamage hu'na huvempa huanki'na, menina Ahapuna ome kegahue.
16 So Obadiah went to inform Ahab, who went to meet Elijah.
Higeno Obadia'a Ahapu ome kenaku vuno ome keno eri fore huteno, ana nanekea asamigeno Ahapu'a Elaija ome kenaku vu'ne.
17 When Ahab saw Elijah, he said to him, “Is that you, O troubler of Israel?”
Hagi Ahapu'ma Elaijama ome negeno'a amanage hu'ne, Israeli mopafima hazenkema eri fore nehana nera kagro.
18 “I have not troubled Israel,” Elijah replied, “but you and your father’s house have, for you have forsaken the commandments of the LORD and have followed the Baals.
Anagema higeno'a, Elaija'a amanage huno ke nona hu'ne, Nagra Israeli vahera hazenkea eri ozmi'noe. Hianagi kagrane nagakamo'zane Israeli vahetera hazenkea eri'za e'naze. Na'ankure kagra Ra Anumzamofo kasegea atrenka kamefi huneminka, Bali havi anumzantami monora ome hunentenka avariri'nane.
19 Now summon all Israel to meet me on Mount Carmel, along with the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah who eat at Jezebel’s table.”
Hagi menina huge'za maka Israeli vahera Karmeli agonare'ma mani'nenure omeri tru nehuta, 450'a Bali havi anumzamofo kasnampa vahe'ene, 400'a Asera havi anumzamofo kasnampa vahetamima Jesebeli'ma neza agampu'ma nehia vahetaminena zamavarenetma eviho.
20 So Ahab summoned all the Israelites and assembled the prophets on Mount Carmel.
Hagi anagema higeno'a, Ahapu'a ke atrege'za maka Israeli vahe'ene, ana kasnampa vahe'mo'zanena Karmeli agonare omeri atru hu'naze.
21 Then Elijah approached all the people and said, “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him. But if Baal is God, follow him.” But the people did not answer a word.
Ana hutageno Elaija'a maka vahe zamavuga otino amanage huno hu'ne, Nama'a zupa tare antahintahirera otineta kantu vuge kama egera nehaze? Ra Anumzamo'ma tamage Anumzama mani'nena, Agri avaririho. Hianagi Bali havi anumzamo'ma tamage Anumzama mani'nena agri avaririho. Anagema hige'za ana vahe'mo'za kea osu'naze.
22 Then Elijah said to the people, “I am the only remaining prophet of the LORD, but Baal has four hundred and fifty prophets.
Anage huteno Elaija'a ana vahetminkura amanage huno zamasami'ne, Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa nera nagrake mani'noe. Hianagi Bali havi anumzamofo kasnampa vahetmina 450'a vahe mani'nazagu,
23 Get two bulls for us. Let the prophets of Baal choose one bull for themselves, cut it into pieces, and place it on the wood but not light the fire. And I will prepare the other bull and place it on the wood but not light the fire.
menina tare bulimakao afu avreta eho. Hagi ana tare bulimakao afutrempintira Bali havi anumzamofo kasnampa vahe'mota tamavesinia su'a aheta taganavazita kre sramnavu itare'ma tevema hanavazi ante'nazarera nenteta tevea tagi onteho. Hagi nagra mago bulimakao afu ahe'na taganavazina kre sramnavu itare'ma tevema hanavazi antenurera nente'na tevea tagi ontegosue.
24 Then you may call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the LORD. The God who answers by fire, He is God.” And all the people answered, “What you say is good.”
Hagi ana'ma huteta tamagra anumzantmimofo agi aheta nunamuna hanage'na, nagra Ra Anumzamofo agihe'na nunamuna hugahue. Hagi ina Anumzamo'ma nunamuma antahino tevema tagintesigeno ama ana ofama tesigeta e'i tamage Anumza mani'ne huta hugahune. Anagema higeno'a, maka vahetmimo'za tamage hane hu'za hu'naze.
25 Then Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Since you are so numerous, choose for yourselves one bull and prepare it first. Then call on the name of your god, but do not light the fire.”
Hagi ana'ma hazageno'a, Elaija'a amanage huno Bali havi anumzamofo kasanampa vahetminkura hu'ne. Ese'zana tamagra mago bulimakao afu aheta taganavazita kresramna vu itarera anteta anumzantmimofo agia aheta nunamuna hiho. Na'ankure tamagra rama'a mani'naze. Hianagi tevema hanavazi ante'nazarera tevea tagi onteho.
26 And they took the bull that was given them, prepared it, and called on the name of Baal from morning until noon, shouting, “O Baal, answer us!” But there was no sound, and no one answered as they leaped around the altar they had made.
Hagi anagema hige'za mago bulimakao afu ahe'za taganavaziza kresramna vu itare antete'za, nanterama agafama hu'nazana nunamuna hu'za Bali havi anumzamofo agia nehe'za, kezati'za Bali anumzamoka ketia antahiramio hu'za nehu'za, krafa nehazageno zagemo'a anuntupi evuno feru omese'ne. Hianagi ana nunamu zamirera kenona huozmantegeno, mago zana forera osu'ne. Hagi ana'ma higeno'a, anama tro'ma hu'naza kre sramna vu itamofo tavaonte haruhu'za mareriza tami'za nehu'za avore'za kagi'naze.
27 At noon Elijah began to taunt them, saying, “Shout louder, for he is a god! Perhaps he is deep in thought, or occupied, or on a journey. Perhaps he is sleeping and must be awakened!”
Hagi zagemo'ma marerino feru'masegeno'a, Elaija'a agafa huno kiza zokago kea amanage huno huzmante'ne. Ranke huta kezatiho. Na'ankure agra anumza mani'ne. Agra feru avana negeno manige, kerirega vuge, kanteno vano huge, avu masege hu'negahianki azeri otiho.
28 So they shouted louder and cut themselves with knives and lances, as was their custom, until the blood gushed over them.
Anagema hige'za ranke hu'za kezaneti'za mono zmimofo avu'avamo'ma hu'neaza hu'za kazinteti'ene agona zanteti'enena zamavufaga taga hazageno koramo'a herafirami'ne.
29 Midday passed, and they kept on raving until the time of the evening sacrifice. But there was no response; no one answered, no one paid attention.
Hagi ana nehu'za ranke hu'za avore'za kanegi'zageno, zagemo'a evutragiseno kinaga ofama nehaza knarera evu'ne. Hianagi ana anumzazmimo'a magore huno ke'zazmia antahizamino kenona huozami'ne.
30 Then Elijah said to all the people, “Come near to me.” So all the people approached him, and he repaired the altar of the LORD that had been torn down.
Hagi ana'ma higeno'a Elaija'a amanage huno ana maka vahekura hu'ne, Amare erava'o hiho, higeno erava'o hazageno, Ra Anumzamofo Kresramana vu itama eri havizama hutre'nazana eriso'e huno tro hu'ne.
31 And Elijah took twelve stones, one for each tribe of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the LORD had come and said, “Israel shall be your name.”
Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma Jekopuma asamino, kagri kagia Israelige hu'za hugahazema huno'ma hu'nere, 12fu'a naga'nofimofo huhamprino 12fu'a have erino,
32 And with the stones, Elijah built an altar in the name of the LORD. Then he dug a trench around the altar large enough to hold two seahs of seed.
Ra Anumzamofo agifi ana kre sramnavu ita tro huteno, ana itamofona 14ni'a lita tima marevaziga avamente tinkana aseno kagi'ne.
33 Next, he arranged the wood, cut up the bull, placed it on the wood,
Ana nehuno ana Kresramanavu itamofo agofetura teve hanavaziteno, bulimakao afura aheno taganavazino ana teve agofetu nenteno amanage hu'ne, ama ana ofama hu bulimakao afute'ene tevere'enena 4'a ranra tintafe afita tagi kasriho, huno hige'za,
34 and said, “Fill four waterpots and pour the water on the offering and on the wood.” “Do it a second time,” he said, and they did it a second time. “Do it a third time,” he said, and they did it a third time.
ana hu'za 4'a ranra tintafe afiza bulimakoa ofane tevenena tagi pasuki'naze. Ana'ma hazageno'a, mago'ane ana hiho huno higeza, ete mago'ane ana hazageno, namba 3 zupa ana hiho huno hige'za ete mago'ane tina afi'za bulimakao ofane tevenena tagi pasuki'naze.
35 So the water ran down around the altar and even filled the trench.
Hagi ana'ma hazageno'a timo'a ana Kresramana vu itafintira hatihati huno tinkama asente'nefina marevite'ne.
36 At the time of the evening sacrifice, Elijah the prophet approached the altar and said, “O LORD, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that You are God in Israel and that I am Your servant and have done all these things at Your command.
Hagi kinagama ofama Kresramanama vu knama egeno'a, kre sramnavu itare Elaija'a erava'o huno amanage huno nunamuna hu'ne, Ra Anumzana, Abrahamune, Aisakine, Israeli Anumzamoka, Israeli mopafina Nagrake Anumzana mani'noe hunka nehunka, eri'za vahekamo'nagura Nagra huntogeno maka ama zantamina nehie hunka eriama huo.
37 Answer me, O LORD! Answer me, so that this people will know that You, the LORD, are God, and that You have turned their hearts back again.”
Ra Anumzamoka nunamuni'a antahinamio! Nunamuni'a antahinamige'za ama vahetmimo'za Ra Anumzamoka kagrake Anumzana mani'nenka, tagu'a eri rukre hunka kagrarega tavrentane hu'za ke'za antahiza hugahaze.
38 Then the fire of the LORD fell and consumed the sacrifice, the wood, the stones, and the dust, and it licked up the water in the trench.
Anagema nehigeno'a monafinkati hantaka huno Ra Anumzamofo tevemo'a hagna hagna huno eramino, ana bulimakaoma tagnavazino'ma ante'nea afu'ene tevema hanavazi'nea tevene, kresramnavu itama tro hu'nea haveramine, kugusopane, tinkampima marevazi'nea tinena ana maka tevemo'a teno eri hana hu'ne.
39 When all the people saw this, they fell facedown and said, “The LORD, He is God! The LORD, He is God!”
Hagi maka vahe'mo'za ana zama nege'za zamavugosaregati mopafi mase'za amanage hu'naze, Ra Anumzamo'a Agrake tamage Anumzana mani'ne! Ra Anumzamo'a Agrake tamage Anumzana mani'ne! hu'za hu'naze.
40 Then Elijah ordered them, “Seize the prophets of Baal! Do not let a single one escape.” So they seized them, and Elijah brought them down to the Kishon Valley and slaughtered them there.
Hagi ana'ma higeno'a Elaija'a amanage hu'ne, Bali havi anumzamofo kasnampa vahetami fresagi, ana maka zamazeriho, hige'za ana maka zamazerizageno Elaija'a ana Bali havi anumzamofo kasnampa vahetmina zamavareno vuno Kisoni timpi ome zamahe fri vagre'ne.
41 And Elijah said to Ahab, “Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain.”
Ana huteno Elaija'a amanage huno Ahapuna asami'ne, Marerinka ne'zane tinena ome no. Na'ankure rankokrerfa ne-ege'na agasasankea nentahue.
42 So Ahab went up to eat and drink. But Elijah climbed to the summit of Carmel, bent down on the ground, and put his face between his knees.
Anagema higeno'a, ne'zane tine ome nenaku Ahapu'a mareri'ne. Hagi Elaija'a Karmeli agona morusapi marerino arena omereno tare arenararempi asenia ante pri huteno mani'ne.
43 “Go and look toward the sea,” he said to his servant. So the servant went and looked, and he said, “There is nothing there.” Seven times Elijah said, “Go back.”
Hagi Elaija'a eri'za ne'agura amanage hu'ne, Marerinka hagerima me'nerega omego. Higeno eri'za ne'amo'a marerino ome keteno, ete Elaijante eno amanage eme hu'ne. Mago zana onkoe, huno higeno, Elaija'a 7ni'a zupa vute ete hunka ome ko huno hunte'ne.
44 On the seventh time the servant reported, “There is a cloud as small as a man’s hand rising from the sea.” And Elijah replied, “Go and tell Ahab, ‘Prepare your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.’”
Hagi namba 7ni zupa vuno ome keteno eno amanage eme hu'ne, Vahe'mofo azagusagna huno osi hampomo hageri me'nerega efore hige'na koe. Anagema higeno'a, Elaija'a amanage huno hunte'ne, Marerinka Ahapuna amanage hunka ome asamio, Ko ruhiza hanigenka ovnanki karisika'a retro hunka uramio hunka ome asamio.
45 Meanwhile, the sky grew dark with clouds and wind, and a heavy rain began to fall. So Ahab rode away and went to Jezreel.
Hagi osi'a kna manigeno monafina hampomo'a ome rehanintiri higeno, zahomo'a hampona atufeno ne-egeno, tusi ko aru'ne. Hagi Ahapu'a karisi agumpi ame'ama huno marerino, Jezreli kumate vu'naku vu'ne.
46 And the hand of the LORD came upon Elijah, and he tucked his cloak into his belt and ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel.
Ana higeno Ra Anumzamo'a Elaijante azana anteno hanavea amigeno, zaza kena'a repasi hunaga atreno amu nofipi ahenevazino, tusi agareno Ahapuna ome azeri agatenereno Jezreli kumate vu'ne.
