1 Kings 19
1 Ahab gave Jezebel news of all Elijah had done, and how he had put all the prophets to death with the sword.
एलियाले गरेका सबै काम र कसरी तिनले सबै अगमवक्तालाई तरवारले मारे भनी आहाबले ईजेबेललाई बताए ।
2 Then Jezebel sent a servant to Elijah, saying, May the gods' punishment be on me if I do not make your life like the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.
तब ईजेबेलले एलियाकहाँ यसो भनेर एक जना सन्देशवाहक पठाए, “तैँले जसरी ती अगमवक्ताहरूको प्राण लिइस्, त्यसरी नै भोलि यसै बेलासम्म मैले तेरो प्राण लिइनँ भने देवताहरूले मलाई पनि त्यसै गरून् वा सोभन्दा बेसी गरून् ।”
3 And he got up, fearing for his life, and went in flight, and came to Beer-sheba in Judah, parting there from his servant;
जब एलियाले यो कुरा सुने तिनी उठेर आफ्नो जीवन बचाउन भागे, र यहूदाको बेर्शेबामा आए, तर आफ्नो नोकरलाई चाहिँ त्यहीँ छाडे ।
4 While he himself went a day's journey into the waste land, and took a seat under a broom-plant, desiring for himself only death; for he said, It is enough: now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am no better than my fathers.
तर तिनी आफैचाहिँ एक दिनको यात्रा गरेर उजाड-स्थानमा गए, र अम्रिसको एउटा झाडीमा आए । आफू मरोस् भनी तिनले बिन्ती गर, “हे परमप्रभु, अब अति भयो । मेरो प्राण लिनुहोस् किनकि म मेरा पित्रहरूभन्दा असल छैनँ ।”
5 And stretching himself on the earth, he went to sleep under the broom-plant; but an angel, touching him, said to him, Get up and have some food.
त्यसैले तिनी पल्टे, र अम्रिसको झाडीमुनि सुते । अकस्मात् एउटा स्वर्गदूतले तिनलाई छोएर भने, “उठेर खाऊ ।”
6 And looking up, he saw by his head a cake cooked on the stones and a bottle of water. So he took food and drink and went to sleep again.
एलियाले हेरे, र आफ्नो शिरनेर कोइलामा पोलेर तयार पारिएको रोटी र एक सुरही पानी देखे । त्यसैले तिनले खाए, र पिए अनि फेरि पल्टे ।
7 And the angel of the Lord came again a second time, and touching him said, Get up and have some food, or the journey will be overmuch for your strength.
परमप्रभुका दूत दोस्रो पटक पनि आए र तिनलाई छोएर भने, “उठेर खाऊ किनकि तिम्रो लागि यात्रा निकै लामो छ ।”
8 So he got up and took food and drink, and in the strength of that food he went on for forty days and nights, to Horeb, the mountain of God.
त्यसैले तिनी उठेर खाए, र पिए अनि त्यस खानाको शक्ति पाएर चालिस दिन यात्रा गरेर परमेश्वरको पर्वत होरेबसम्मै आए ।
9 And there he went into a hole in the rock for the night; then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, What are you doing here, Elijah?
त्यहाँ तिनी एउटा गुफामा गए, र त्यहीँ नै बसे । तब परमप्रभुको वचन तिनीकहाँ आयो, “ए एलिया, तँ यहाँ के गर्दै छस्?”
10 And he said, I have been burning for the honour of the Lord, the God of armies; for the children of Israel have not kept your agreement; they have made destruction of your altars, and have put your prophets to death with the sword: till I, even I, am the only one living; and now they are attempting to take away my life.
एलियाले जवाफ दिए, “सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको निम्ति म साह्रै जोसिलो भएको छु, किनकि इस्राएलीहरूले तपाईंको करार उल्लङ्घन गरेका छन्, तपाईंका वेदीहरू भत्काइदिएका छन्, र तपाईंका अगमवक्ताहरूलाई तरवारले मारेका छन् । अब म एकलै छाडिएको छु, र तिनीहरूले मेरो प्राण लिन खोज्दै छन् ।”
11 Then he said, Go out and take your place on the mountain before the Lord. Then the Lord went by, and mountains were parted by the force of a great wind, and rocks were broken before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind there was an earth-shock, but the Lord was not in the earth-shock.
परमप्रभुले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “निस्केर जा, अनि पर्वतमा मेरो सामु खडा हो ।” तब परमप्रभु त्यहाँबाट भएर जानुभयो, र प्रचण्ड बतासले पर्वतलाई प्रहार गर्यो अनि परमप्रभुको सामु चट्टानहरू टुक्राटुक्रा भए, तर परमप्रभु बतासमा हुनुहुन्थेन । बतासपछि एउटा भूकम्प गयो, तर परमप्रभु भूकम्पमा पनि हुनुहुन्थेन ।
12 And after the earth-shock a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire, the sound of a soft breath.
भूकम्पपछि एउटा आगो आयो, तर परमप्रभु आगोमा पनि हुनुहुन्थेन । आगोपछि एउटा सानो आवाज आयो ।
13 And Elijah, hearing it, went out, covering his face with his robe, and took his place in the opening of the hole. And there a voice came to him saying, What are you doing here, Elijah?
जब एलियाले त्यो आवाज सुने तब तिनले खास्टोमा आफ्नो मुहार लुकाए, र बाहिर निस्केर गुफाको मुखमा उभिए । तब एउटा आवाज आयो जसले तिनलाई भन्यो, “ए एलिया, तँ यहाँ के गर्दै छस्?”
14 And he said, I have been burning for the honour of the Lord, the God of armies; for the children of Israel have not kept your agreement; they have had your altars broken down, and have put your prophets to death with the sword: till I, even I, am the only one living; and now they are attempting to take away my life.
एलियाले जवाफ दिए, “सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको निम्ति म साह्रै जोसिलो भएको छु, किनकि इस्राएलीहरूले तपाईंको करार उल्लङ्घन गरेका छन्, तपाईंका वेदीहरू भत्काइदिएका छन्, र तपाईंका अगमवक्ताहरूलाई तरवारले मारेका छन् । अब म एकलै छाडिएको छु, र तिनीहरूले मेरो प्राण लिन खोज्दै छन् ।”
15 And the Lord said to him, Go back on your way through the waste land to Damascus; and when you come there, put the holy oil on Hazael to make him king over Aram;
तब परमप्रभुले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “फर्केर दमस्कसको उजाड-स्थानको बाटोमा जा, र तँ त्यहाँ आइपुगेपछि हजाएललाई अरामका राजाको रूपमा अभिषेक गर् ।
16 And on Jehu, son of Nimshi, making him king over Israel; and on Elisha, the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah, to be prophet in your place.
तैँले निम्शीका छोरा येहूलाई इस्राएलको राजाको रूपमा नियुक्त गर्नू, र तेरो ठाउँमा हाबिल-महोलाको शाफातका छोरा एलीशालाई अगमवक्ताको रूपमा अभिषेक गर्नू ।
17 And it will come about that the man who gets away safe from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will put to death; and whoever gets away safe from the sword of Jehu, Elisha will put to death.
हजाएलको तरवारबाट उम्कने जोसुकैलाई येहूले मार्ने छन्, र येहूको तरवारबाट उम्कने जोसुकैलाई एलीशाले मार्ने छन् ।
18 But I will keep safe seven thousand in Israel, all those whose knees have not been bent to Baal, and whose mouths have given him no kisses.
तर म इस्राएलमा सात हजार मानिसलाई बचाइराख्ने छु, जसले बालको सामु घुँडा टेकेका छैनन्, र जसका मुखले त्यसलाई चुम्बन गरेका छैनन् ।”
19 So he went away from there and came across Elisha, the son of Shaphat, ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen, he himself walking with the twelfth; and Elijah went up to him and put his robe on him.
त्यसैले एलिया त्यहाँबाट प्रस्थान गरे, र तिनले शाफातका छोरा एलीशालाई फेला पारे । तिनले बाह्र हल गोरुले खेत जोतिरहेका थिए । त्यस बेला तिनले बाह्रौँ हललाई जोतिरहेका थिए । एलिया एलीशाकहाँ आए, र तिनलाई आफ्नो खास्टो ओढाइदिए ।
20 And letting the oxen be where they were, he came running after Elijah, and said, Only let me give a kiss to my father and mother, and then I will come after you. But he said to him, Go back again; for what have I done to you?
त्यसपछि एलीशाले ती गोरुहरू छाडेर एलियाको पछि लागे । तिनले भने, “मलाई मेरा पिता र मेरी आमालाई चुम्बन गर्न दिनुहोस्, र त्यसपछि म तपाईंको पछि लाग्ने छु ।” तब एलियाले भने, “फर्केर जाऊ, तर मैले तिमीलाई भनेको कुराको बारेमा सोचविचार गर ।”
21 And he went back, and took the oxen and put them to death, and cooking their flesh with the yokes of the oxen, he gave the people a feast. Then he got up and went after Elijah and became his servant.
त्यसैले एलीशा एलियाबाट गए, र एक हल गोरु लिए । तिनले हलोका काठहरू जलाएर मासु पकाए । तिनले त्यो मानिसहरूलाई दिए, र तिनले पनि खाए । तब तिनी उठेर एलियाको पछि लागे, र तिनको सेवा गरे ।
