1 Kings 19
1 Now Ahab told Jezebel everything that Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
Dia nolazain’ i Ahaba tamin’ i Jezebela izay rehetra nataon’ i Elia, dia ny namonoany ny mpaminany rehetra tamin’ ny sabatra.
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!”
Ary Jezebela naniraka olona tany amin’ i Elia hanao hoe: Hataon’ ireo andriamanitra amiko anie izany, eny, mihoatra noho izany aza, raha tsy hataoko toy ny ain’ ny anankiray amin’ ireny ny ainao raha maraina toy izao.
3 And Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there,
Ary raha nahita izany izy, dia niainga ka lasa nandeha hamonjy ny ainy dia nankany Beri-sheba, izay any Joda, ary ny zatovo najanony tao.
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.”
Fa izy kosa nandeha lalana indray andro tany an-efitra, ary tonga ka nipetraka teo ambanin’ ny anjavidy anankiray; dia nangataka ho faty izy ka nanao hoe: Aoka izay! alao ny aiko ankehitriny, Jehovah ô, fa tsy tsara noho ny razako aho.
5 Then he lay down under the broom tree and fell asleep. Suddenly an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.”
Ary raha nandry natory teo ambanin’ ny anjavidy anankiray izy, indro, nisy anjely nanohina azy ka nanao taminy hoe. Miarena, ka homàna.
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.
Dia nijery izy, ka, indro, teo anilan’ ny lohany nisy mofo voaendy tamin’ ny vato mahamay sy rano iray tavoara; ary nihinana sy nisotro izy, dia nandry indray.
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.”
Ary avy fanindroany indray Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah, dia nanohina azy ka nanao hoe: Mitohaza, ka homàna, fa lavitra loatra ny halehanao.
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.
Dia nifoha izy ka nihinana sy nisotro; ary nandeha tamin’ ny tanjaka azony tamin’ izany hanina izany efa-polo andro efa-polo alina izy ho any Horeba, tendrombohitr’ Andriamanitra.
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?”
Ary niditra tao anatin’ ny zohy izy ka nitoetra tao. Ary, indro, tonga taminy ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe: Manao inona atỳ ianao, ry Elia?
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.”
Dia hoy izy: Nafana dia nafana ny foko noho ny fitiavako an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro; fa ny Zanak’ Isiraely nahafoy ny fanekenao; ny alitaranao noravany, ny mpaminaninao novonoiny tamin’ ny sabatra, ary izaho dia izaho irery ihany no sisa, nefa mbola mitady hahafaty ny aiko koa izy.
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.
Ary hoy Jehovah: Mivoaha, ka mitsangana eo ambonin’ ny tendrombohitra eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah. Ary, indro, nandalo Jehovah, ka nisy rivotra be sady mahery namakivaky ny tendrombohitra sy nanorotoro ny harambato teo alohan’ i Jehovah; nefa Jehovah tsy tao amin’ ny rivotra; ary manarakaraka ny rivotra nisy horohoron-tany; nefa Jehovah tsy tao amin’ ny horohoron-tany;
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.
ary manarakaraka ny horohorontany nisy afo; nefa Jehovah tsy tao amin’ ny afo; ary manarakaraka ny afo nisy feo nitsoka malemy.
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?”
Ary raha ren’ i Elia izany, dia nosaronany ny kapôtiny ny tavany, ary nivoaka izy ka nijanona teo am-bava-zohy. Ary, indro, nisy feo nankao aminy nanao hoe: Manao inona atỳ ianao ry Elia?
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.”
Dia hoy izy: Nafana dia nafana ny foko noho ny fitiavako an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro; fa ny Zanak’ Isiraely efa nahafoy ny fanekenao; ny alitaranao noravany, ary ny mpaminaninao novonoiny tamin’ ny sabatra, ary izaho dia izaho irery ihany no sisa, nefa mbola mitady hahafaty ny aiko koa izy.
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.
Fa hoy Jehovah taminy: Mandehana, miverena amin’ ny nalehanao ho any amin’ ny efitr’ i Damaskosy; ary raha mby any ianao, dia hosory Hazaela ho mpanjakan’ i Syria;
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.
Ary Jeho, zanak’ i Nimsy, dia hosory ho mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely; ary Elisa, zanak’ i Safata, avy any Abela-mehola, dia hosory ho mpaminany handimby anao.
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.
Ary izay afa-mandositra ny sabatr’ i Hazaela dia hovonoin’ i Jeho; ary izay afa-mandositra ny sabatr’ i Jeho kosa dia hovonoin’ i Elisa.
18 Nevertheless, I have reserved seven thousand in Israel—all whose knees have not bowed to Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him.”
Nefa hamela fito arivo ao amin’ ny Isiraely Aho, dia ny lohalika rehetra izay tsy nandohalika tamin’ i Bala sy ny vava rehetra izay tsy nanoroka azy.
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.
Ary niala teo Elia ka nahita an’ i Elisa, zanak’ i Safata, izay nampiasa omby efatra amby roa-polo mikambana tsiroaroa avy, fa izy teo amin’ ny roa farany indrindra; ary Elia nandroso nanatona azy, dia nanipy ny kapôtiny hanarona azy.
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?”
Dia nandao ny omby izy ka nihazakazaka nanaraka an’ i Elia ary niteny hoe: Masìna ianao, avelao aho aloha hanoroka an’ ikaky sy ineny vao manaraka anao. Ary hoy izy taminy: Mandehana miverina, fa naninona anao moa aho?
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.
Dia niverina niala taminy indray izy ka naka ny omby roa mikambana, dia namono azy, ary nandrahoiny tamin’ ny hazo fiasàn’ ny omby ny henany ka nomeny ny olona, dia nihinana ireo; ary niainga izy ka nanaraka an’ i Elia, dia nanompo azy.
