1 Kings 18
1 Now after a long time, the word of the Lord came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, Go and let Ahab see you, so that I may send rain on the earth.
At nangyari, pagkaraan ng maraming araw, na ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating kay Elias, sa ikatlong taon, na nagsasabi, Ikaw ay yumaon, pakita ka kay Achab; at ako'y magpapaulan sa lupa.
2 So Elijah went to let Ahab see him. Now there was no food to be had in Samaria.
At si Elias ay yumaon napakita kay Achab. At ang kagutom ay malala sa Samaria.
3 And Ahab sent for Obadiah, the controller of the king's house. (Now Obadiah had the fear of the Lord before him greatly;
At tinawag ni Achab si Abdias na siyang katiwala sa bahay. (Si Abdias nga ay natatakot na mainam sa Panginoon:
4 For when Jezebel was cutting off the prophets of the Lord, Obadiah took a hundred of them, and kept them secretly in a hole in the rock, fifty at a time, and gave them bread and water.)
Sapagka't nangyari, nang ihiwalay ni Jezabel ang mga propeta ng Panginoon, na kumuha si Abdias ng isang daang propeta, at ikinubli na limalimangpu sa isang yungib, at pinakain sila ng tinapay at tubig, )
5 And Ahab said to Obadiah, Come, let us go through all the country, to all the fountains of water and all the rivers, and see if there is any grass to be had for the horses and the transport beasts, so that we may be able to keep some of the beasts from destruction.
At sinabi ni Achab kay Abdias, Lakarin mo ang lupain, hanggang sa lahat ng mga bukal ng tubig, at hanggang sa lahat ng mga batis: marahil tayo'y makakasumpong ng damo, at maililigtas nating buhay ang mga kabayo at mga mula upang huwag tayong mawalan ng lahat na hayop.
6 So they went through all the country, covering it between them; Ahab went in one direction by himself, and Obadiah went in another by himself.
Sa gayo'y pinaghati nila ang lupain sa gitna nila upang lakarin: si Achab ay lumakad ng kaniyang sarili sa isang daan, at si Abdias ay lumakad ng kaniyang sarili sa isang daan.
7 And while Obadiah was on his way, he came face to face with Elijah; and seeing who it was, he went down on his face and said, Is it you, my lord Elijah?
At samantalang si Abdias ay nasa daan, narito, nasalubong siya ni Elias: at nakilala niya siya, at nagpatirapa, at nagsabi, Di ba ikaw, ang panginoon kong si Elias?
8 And Elijah in answer said, It is I; now go and say to your lord, Elijah is here.
At siya'y sumagot sa kaniya, Ako nga: ikaw ay yumaon, saysayin mo sa iyong panginoon, Narito, si Elias ay nandito.
9 And he said, What sin have I done, that you would give up your servant into the hand of Ahab, and be the cause of my death?
At kaniyang sinabi, Sa ano ako nagkasala na iyong ibibigay ang iyong lingkod sa kamay ni Achab, upang patayin ako?
10 By the life of the Lord your God, there is not a nation or kingdom where my lord has not sent in search of you; and when they said, He is not here; he made them take an oath that they had not seen you.
Buhay ang Panginoon mong Dios, walang bansa o kaharian man na hindi pinagpahanapan sa iyo ng aking panginoon: at pagka kanilang sinasabi, Siya'y wala rito, kaniyang pinasusumpa ang kaharian at bansa, na hindi kinasusumpungan sa iyo.
11 And now you say, Go, say to your lord, Elijah is here.
At ngayo'y iyong sinasabi, Ikaw ay yumaon, saysayin mo sa iyong panginoon, Narito, si Elias ay nandito.
12 And straight away, when I have gone from you, the spirit of the Lord will take you away, I have no idea where, so that when I come and give word to Ahab, and he sees you not, he will put me to death: though I, your servant, have been a worshipper of the Lord from my earliest years.
At mangyayari, pagkahiwalay ko sa iyo na dadalhin ka ng Espiritu ng Panginoon sa hindi ko nalalaman; na anopa't pagka ako'y pumaroon at isinaysay ko kay Achab, at ikaw ay hindi niya nasumpungan, papatayin niya ako: nguni't akong iyong lingkod ay natatakot sa Panginoon mula sa aking pagkabinata.
13 Has my lord not had word of what I did when Jezebel was putting the Lord's prophets to death? how I kept a hundred of them in a secret hole in the rock, fifty at a time, and gave them bread and water?
Hindi ba nasaysay sa aking panginoon, kung ano ang aking ginawa nang patayin ni Jezabel ang mga propeta ng Panginoon, kung paanong nagkubli ako ng isang daan sa mga propeta ng Panginoon, na limalimangpu sa isang yungib, at pinakain ko sila ng tinapay at tubig?
14 And now you say, Go and say to your Lord, Elijah is here; and he will put me to death.
At ngayo'y iyong sinasabi, Ikaw ay yumaon, saysayin mo sa iyong panginoon. Narito, si Elias ay nandito; at papatayin niya ako.
15 And Elijah said, By the life of the Lord of armies, whose servant I am, I will certainly let him see me today.
At sinabi ni Elias, Buhay ang Panginoon ng mga hukbo, na sa harap niya'y nakatayo ako, ako'y walang salang pakikita sa kaniya ngayon.
16 So Obadiah went to Ahab and gave him the news; and Ahab went to see Elijah.
Sa gayo'y yumaon si Abdias upang salubungin si Achab, at sinaysay sa kaniya: at si Achab ay yumaon upang salubungin si Elias.
17 And when he saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, Is it you, you troubler of Israel?
At nangyari, nang makita ni Achab si Elias, na sinabi ni Achab sa kaniya, Di ba ikaw, ang mangbabagabag sa Israel?
18 Then he said in answer, I have not been troubling Israel, but you and your family; because, turning away from the orders of the Lord, you have gone after the Baals.
At siya'y sumagot, Hindi ko binagabag ang Israel; kundi ikaw, at ang sangbahayan ng iyong ama, sa inyong pagkapabaya ng mga utos ng Panginoon, at ikaw ay sumunod kay Baal.
19 Now send, and get Israel together before me at Mount Carmel, with the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal who get their food at Jezebel's table.
Ngayon nga'y magsugo ka, at pisanin mo sa akin ang buong Israel sa bundok ng Carmelo, at ang mga propeta ni Baal na apat na raan at limangpu, at ang mga propeta ni Asera na apat na raan, na nagsikain sa dulang ni Jezabel.
20 So Ahab sent for all the children of Israel, and got the prophets together at Mount Carmel.
Sa gayo'y nagsugo si Achab sa lahat ng mga anak ni Israel, at pinisan ang mga propeta sa bundok ng Carmelo.
21 And Elijah came near to all the people and said, How long will you go on balancing between two opinions? if the Lord is God, then give worship to him; but if Baal, give worship to him. And the people said not a word in answer.
At si Elias ay lumapit sa buong bayan, at nagsabi, Hanggang kaylan kayo mangagaalinlangan sa dalawang isipan? kung ang Panginoon ay Dios, sumunod kayo sa kaniya: nguni't kung si Baal, sumunod nga kayo sa kaniya. At ang bayan ay hindi sumagot sa kaniya kahit isang salita.
22 Then Elijah said to the people, I, even I, am the only living prophet of the Lord; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Elias sa bayan, Ako, ako lamang, ang naiwang propeta ng Panginoon; nguni't ang mga propeta ni Baal ay apat na raan at limang pung lalake.
23 Now, let them give us two oxen; and let them take one for themselves, and have it cut up, and put it on the wood, but put no fire under it; I will get the other ox ready, and put it on the wood, and put no fire under it.
Bigyan nga nila tayo ng dalawang baka; at pumili sila sa ganang kanila ng isang baka, at katayin, at ilagay sa ibabaw ng kahoy, at huwag lagyan ng apoy sa ilalim: at ihahanda ko ang isang baka at ilalagay ko sa kahoy, at hindi ko lalagyan ng apoy sa ilalim.
24 And do you make prayers to your god, and I will make a prayer to the Lord: and it will be clear that the one who gives an answer by fire is God. And all the people in answer said, It is well said.
At tawagan ninyo ang pangalan ng inyong dios, at tatawagan ko ang pangalan ng Panginoon: at ang Dios na sumagot sa pamamagitan ng apoy, ay siyang maging Dios. At ang buong bayan ay sumagot, at nagsabi, Mabuti ang pagkasabi.
25 Then Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, Take one ox for yourselves and get it ready first, for there are more of you; and make your prayers to your god, but put no fire under.
At sinabi ni Elias sa mga propeta ni Baal, Magsipili kayo ng isang baka sa ganang inyo, at inyong ihandang una, sapagka't kayo'y marami; at tawagan ninyo ang pangalan ng inyong dios, nguni't huwag ninyong lagyan ng apoy sa ilalim.
26 So they took the ox which was given them, and made it ready, crying out to Baal from morning till the middle of the day, and saying, O Baal, give ear to us. But there was no voice and no answer. And they were jumping up and down before the altar they had made.
At kanilang kinuha ang baka na ibinigay sa kanila, at kanilang inihanda, at tinawagan ang pangalan ni Baal mula sa kinaumagahan hanggang sa kinatanghaliang tapat, na nagsisipagsabi, Oh Baal dinggin mo kami. Nguni't walang tinig, o sinomang sumagot. At sila'y nagsisilukso sa siping ng dambana na ginawa.
27 And in the middle of the day, Elijah made sport of them, saying, Give louder cries, for he is a god; he may be deep in thought, or he may have gone away for some purpose, or he may be on a journey, or by chance he is sleeping and has to be made awake.
At nangyari, nang kinatanghaliang tapat, na biniro sila ni Elias, at sinabi, Sumigaw kayo ng malakas: sapagka't siya'y dios; siya nga'y nagmumunimuni, o nasa tabi, o nasa paglalakbay, o marahil siya'y natutulog, at marapat gisingin.
28 So they gave loud cries, cutting themselves with knives and swords, as was their way, till the blood came streaming out all over them.
At sila'y nagsisigaw ng malakas, at sila'y nagsipagkudlit ayon sa kanilang kaugalian ng sundang at mga sibat, hanggang sa bumuluwak ang dugo sa kanila.
29 And from the middle of the day they went on with their prayers till the time of the offering; but there was no voice, or any answer, or any who gave attention to them.
At nangyari nang makaraan ang kinatanghaliang tapat, na sila'y nanghula hanggang sa oras ng paghahandog ng alay na ukol sa hapon: nguni't wala kahit tinig, ni sinomang sumagot, ni sinomang makinig.
30 Then Elijah said to all the people, Come near to me; and all the people came near. And he put up again the altar of the Lord which had been broken down.
At sinabi ni Elias sa buong bayan, Lumapit kayo sa akin; at ang buong bayan ay lumapit sa kaniya. At kaniyang inayos ang dambana ng Panginoon na nabagsak.
31 And Elijah took twelve stones, the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the Lord had said, Israel will be your name:
At kumuha si Elias ng labing dalawang bato, ayon sa bilang ng mga lipi ng mga anak ni Jacob, na sa kaniya ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating, na sinasabi, Israel ang magiging iyong pangalan.
32 And with the stones he made an altar to the name of the Lord; and he made a deep drain all round the altar, great enough to take two measures of seed.
At sa pamamagitan ng mga bato ay kaniyang itinayo ang dambana sa pangalan ng Panginoon; at kaniyang nilagyan ng hukay sa palibot ng dambana, na ang laki ay kasisidlan ng dalawang takal na binhi.
33 And he put the wood in order, and, cutting up the ox, put it on the wood. Then he said, Get four vessels full of water and put it on the burned offering and on the wood. And he said, Do it a second time, and they did it a second time;
At kaniyang inilagay ang kahoy na maayos, at kinatay ang baka at ipinatong sa kahoy. At kaniyang sinabi, Punuin ninyo ang apat na tapayan ng tubig, at ibuhos ninyo sa handog na susunugin, at sa kahoy.
34 And he said, Do it a third time, and they did it a third time.
At kaniyang sinabi, Gawin ninyong ikalawa; at kanilang ginawang ikalawa. At kaniyang sinabi, Gawin ninyong ikaitlo; at kanilang ginawang ikaitlo.
35 And the water went all round the altar, till the drain was full.
At ang tubig ay umagos sa palibot ng dambana; at kaniyang pinuno naman ng tubig ang hukay.
36 Then at the time of the offering, Elijah the prophet came near and said, O Lord, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be seen this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things by your order.
At nangyari, sa oras ng paghahandog ng alay sa hapon, na si Elias, na propeta ay lumapit, at nagsabi, Oh Panginoon, na Dios ni Abraham, ni Isaac, at ni Israel, pakilala ka sa araw na ito, na ikaw ay Dios sa Israel, at ako ang iyong lingkod, at aking ginawa ang lahat na bagay na ito sa iyong salita.
37 Give me an answer, O Lord, give me an answer, so that this people may see that you are God, and that you have made their hearts come back again.
Dinggin mo ako, Oh Panginoon, dinggin mo ako, upang matalastas ng bayang ito, na ikaw, na Panginoon, ay Dios, at iyong pinapanumbalik ang kanilang puso.
38 Then the fire of the Lord came down, burning up the offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and drinking up the water in the drain.
Nang magkagayo'y ang apoy ng Panginoon ay nalaglag, at sinupok ang handog na susunugin at ang kahoy, at ang mga bato, at ang alabok, at hinimuran ang tubig na nasa hukay.
39 And when the people saw it, they all went down on their faces, and said, The Lord, he is God, the Lord, he is God.
At nang makita ng buong bayan, sila'y nagpatirapa: at kanilang sinabi, Ang Panginoon ay siyang Dios; ang Panginoon ay siyang Dios.
40 And Elijah said to them, Take the prophets of Baal, let not one of them get away. So they took them, and Elijah made them go down to the stream Kishon, and put them to death there.
At sinabi ni Elias sa kanila, Dakpin ninyo ang mga propeta ni Baal; huwag makatanan ang sinoman sa kanila. At kanilang dinakip sila: at sila'y ibinaba ni Elias sa batis ng Cison, at pinatay roon.
41 Then Elijah said to Ahab, Up! take food and drink, for there is a sound of much rain.
At sinabi ni Elias kay Achab, Ikaw ay umahon, kumain ka at uminom ka; sapagka't may hugong ng kasaganaan ng ulan.
42 So Ahab went up to have food and drink, while Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he went down on the earth, putting his face between his knees.
Sa gayo'y umahon si Achab upang kumain at uminom. At si Elias ay umahon sa taluktok ng Carmelo; at siya'y yumukod sa lupa, at inilagay ang kaniyang mukha sa pagitan ng kaniyang mga tuhod.
43 And he said to his servant, Go now, and take a look in the direction of the sea. And he went up, and after looking said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times; and he went seven times.
At kaniyang sinabi sa kaniyang lingkod, Umahon ka ngayon, tumingin ka sa dakong dagat. At siya'y umahon at tumingin, at nagsabi, Walang anomang bagay. At kaniyang sinabi, Yumaon ka uling makapito.
44 And the seventh time he said, I see a cloud coming up out of the sea, as small as a man's hand. Then he said, Go up and say to Ahab, Get your carriage ready and go down or the rain will keep you back.
At nangyari, sa ikapito, na kaniyang sinabi, Narito, may bumangong isang ulap sa dagat, na kasingliit ng kamay ng isang lalake. At kaniyang sinabi, Ikaw ay yumaon, sabihin mo kay Achab, Ihanda mo ang iyong karo, at ikaw ay lumusong baka ka mapigil ng ulan.
45 And after a very little time, the heaven became black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab went in his carriage to Jezreel.
At nangyari, pagkaraan ng sangdali, na ang langit ay nagdilim sa alapaap at hangin, at nagkaroon ng malakas na ulan. At si Achab ay sumakay, at naparoon sa Jezreel.
46 And the hand of the Lord was on Elijah; and he made himself strong, and went running before Ahab till they came to Jezreel.
At ang kamay ng Panginoon ay nasa kay Elias; at kaniyang binigkisan ang kaniyang mga balakang, at tumakbong nagpauna kay Achab sa pasukan ng Jezreel.
