1 Kings 19
1 Now Ahab told Jezebel everything that Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
Koro Ahab nonyiso Jezebel mago duto mane Elija nosetimo kendo kaka nosenego jonabi gi ligangla,
2 So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “May the gods deal with me, and ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like the lives of those you killed!”
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.”
3 And Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there,
Elija ne luor kendo noringo nikech ngimane. Kane obiro Bersheba e Juda, noweyo jatichne kanyo,
4 while he himself traveled on a day’s journey into the wilderness. He sat down under a broom tree and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, LORD,” he said. “Take my life, for I am no better than my fathers.”
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.”
5 Then he lay down under the broom tree and fell asleep. Suddenly an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.”
Eka nonindo e tiend yien ma nindo otere. Mapiyo piyo nono malaika nomule mowachone niya, “Chungʼ malo mondo ichiem.”
6 And he looked around, and there by his head was a cake of bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank and lay down again.
Nongʼicho kendo noyudo makati matin maliet motedi gi makaa koketi but wiye kod pi e agulu. Nochiemo mometho eka bangʼe kendo nodok monindo.
7 A second time the angel of the LORD returned and touched him, saying, “Get up and eat, or the journey will be too much for you.”
Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye noduogo ire mar ariyo kendo nomule mowachone niya, “Chungi mondo ichiem nimar wuoth pod bor.”
8 So he got up and ate and drank. And strengthened by that food, he walked forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God.
Kamano nochungʼ mi ochiemo kendo ometho. Kane osechiemo noyudo teko mowuotho ndalo piero angʼwen, odiechiengʼ gotieno nyaka Horeb, got mar Nyasaye.
9 There Elijah entered a cave and spent the night. And the word of the LORD came to him, saying, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
Kanyo nodonjo ei rogo monindo kanyo. Kendo wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirone mawachone niya, “En angʼo mitimo ka, Elija?”
10 “I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of Hosts,” he replied, “but the Israelites have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I am the only one left, and they are seeking my life as well.”
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.”
11 Then the LORD said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before the LORD. Behold, the LORD is about to pass by.” And a great and mighty wind tore into the mountains and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake.
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.
12 After the earthquake there was a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a still, small voice.
Bangʼ yiengni pinyno mach nobiro, to Jehova Nyasaye ne onge ei majno. To bangʼ majno yamo makudho mos nobiro.
13 When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
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?”
14 “I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of Hosts,” he replied, “but the Israelites have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I am the only one left, and they are seeking my life as well.”
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.”
15 Then the LORD said to him, “Go back by the way you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you arrive, you are to anoint Hazael as king over Aram.
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.
16 You are also to anoint Jehu son of Nimshi as king over Israel and Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel-meholah to succeed you as prophet.
Bende wir Jehu wuod Nimshi obed ruodh Israel, kendo iwir Elisha wuod Shafat ma ja-Abel Mehola mondo okaw kari kaka janabi.
17 Then Jehu will put to death whoever escapes the sword of Hazael, and Elisha will put to death whoever escapes the sword of Jehu.
Jehu biro nego ngʼato angʼata motony e ligangla mar Hazael kendo Elisha biro nego ngʼato angʼata motony e ligangla Jehu.
18 Nevertheless, I have reserved seven thousand in Israel—all whose knees have not bowed to Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him.”
To kata mana sani an gi jodolo alufu abiriyo e piny Israel duto mapok okulore ne Baal, kendo ma pod olame ka nyodhe.”
19 So Elijah departed and found Elisha son of Shaphat. He was plowing with twelve teams of oxen, and he was with the twelfth team. Elijah passed by him and threw his cloak around him.
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.
20 So Elisha left the oxen, ran after Elijah, and said, “Please let me kiss my father and mother goodbye, and then I will follow you.” “Go on back,” Elijah replied, “for what have I done to you?”
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?”
21 So Elisha turned back from him, took his pair of oxen, and slaughtered them. With the oxen’s equipment, he cooked the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out to follow and serve Elijah.
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.
