1 Kings 18
1 And it came to pass after many days, that the word of Jehovah came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself to Ahab; and I will send rain upon the face of the earth.
Ahnintha moi a loum hnukkhu, hettelah ao. A kum thum dawk Elijah koevah, BAWIPA e lawk teh a pha. Cet nateh Ahab koe kâpâtue. Hahoi talai van kho a rak sak han telah a ti.
2 And Elijah went to shew himself to Ahab. And the famine was severe in Samaria.
Elijah ni Ahab koevah kâpâtue hanlah a cei. Hatnavah Samaria ram dawk puenghoi takang a tho.
3 And Ahab called Obadiah, who was the steward of his house (now Obadiah feared Jehovah greatly;
Ahab ni a imthungkhu kaukkung Obadiah hah a kaw teh (Obadiah teh BAWIPA ka taket poung e lah a o),
4 and it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of Jehovah, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and maintained them with bread and water);
bangkongtetpawiteh, Jezebel ni BAWIPA e profet a thei lahun na, lungngoum thungvah 50, 50 touh hoi a hro teh, vaiyei, tui hoi a kawk.
5 and Ahab said to Obadiah, Go through the land, to all the fountains of water and to all the torrents, perhaps we may find grass to save the horses and the mules alive, so that we may not have to destroy some of [our] beasts.
Ahab ni Obadiah koevah, ram pueng dawk tuiphueknaw, palangnaw yuengyoe tawng hanelah cet. Saringnaw pueng ni a due hoeh nahan marang hoi lanaw ni hring hlout nahanelah, hram kanawnaw na hmu yawkaw han doeh telah atipouh.
6 And they divided the land between them to pass through it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
Hottelah ram katin hanlah a kârei awh teh, Ahab teh amadueng lam alouke dawk a cei teh, Obadiah hai a madueng lam alouke dawk a cei.
7 And as Obadiah was on the way, behold, Elijah met him; and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Is it indeed thou, my lord Elijah?
Hottelah Obadiah ni a cei lahun nah, Elijah hah tang a kâhmo. Ahni ni a panue teh a tabo. Nang namaw ka bawipa, Elijah telah atipouh.
8 And he said to him, I [am he]: go, say to thy lord, Behold Elijah!
Elijah ni Obadiah koevah, Oe kai doeh, cet nateh haw vah Elijah ao telah na bawipa koe dei pouh telah atipouh.
9 And he said, What have I sinned, that thou givest thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to put me to death?
Ahni ni bang yonnae maw ka sak teh na san heh thei hanelah Ahab e kut dawk poe hanelah na ngai.
10 As Jehovah thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom whither my lord has not sent to seek thee; and when they said, He is not [here], he took an oath of the kingdom or nation that they found thee not.
BAWIPA na Cathut a hring e patetlah ka bawipa ni nang na tawnghoehnae miphun hoi uknaeram awm hoeh toe. Hivah awm hoeh telah ati awh navah, nang na hmuhoehnae kong dawk miphun hoi ram hah lawk a kam sak.
11 And now thou sayest, Go, say to thy lord, Behold Elijah!
Atuvah nang ni cet nateh, Elijah hawvah ao telah na bawipa koe dei pouh telah na ti.
12 And it shall come to pass when I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of Jehovah shall carry thee whither I know not; and when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he will kill me; and I thy servant fear Jehovah from my youth.
Hottelah ao han. Na ceitakhai toteh, BAWIPA e Muitha ni ka panue hoeh e hmuen koe na cet khai vaiteh, Ahab ka dei pouh vaiteh, na hmawt thai awh hoehpawiteh, kai heh na thei awh han. Hatei, na san ni ka nawca hoi BAWIPA teh ka taki.
13 Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid a hundred men of Jehovah's prophets by fifty in a cave, and maintained them with bread and water?
Jezebel ni BAWIPA e profetnaw a thei lahun nah, BAWIPA e profetnaw tami 100 touh lungngoum thung ruipanga ruipanga touh hoi ka hro teh, vaiyei hoi tui hoi ka kawknae kong hah dei awh hoehnamaw.
14 And now thou sayest, Go, say to thy lord, Behold Elijah! and he will kill me.
Atuvah nang ni cet nateh, Elijah haw ao telah deih, telah na ti. Kai heh na thei roeroe han doeh telah atipouh.
15 And Elijah said, As Jehovah of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will certainly shew myself to him to-day.
Elijah ni ka bawk e ransahu BAWIPA teh a hring e patetlah kai ni sahnin Ahab koe ka kâpâtue roeroe han telah atipouh.
16 Then Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him. And Ahab went to meet Elijah.
Hatdawkvah, Obadiah teh Ahab kâhmo han la a cei teh a dei pouh. Hahoi Ahab ni Elijah kâhmo hanlah a cei.
17 And it came to pass when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, Is it thou, the troubler of Israel?
Ahab ni Elijah a hmu toteh, nang maw Isarelnaw runae na ka poe e tongpa telah atipouh.
18 And he said, I have not troubled Israel, but thou and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of Jehovah, and thou hast followed the Baals.
Ahni ni Isarelnaw runae ka poe hoeh. Nang hoi na pa imthungkhunaw ni BAWIPA e kâpoelawknaw hah na kamlang takhai awh teh, Baal na bawk dawkvah, Isarelnaw runae na poe.
19 And now send, gather to me all Israel to mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the Asherah four hundred, who eat at Jezebel's table.
Atuvah Isarelnaw pueng Baal profet 450 touh hoi Jezebel e caboi dawk bu ouk ka ven awh e Asherah profet 400 touh hah kai koe vah Karmel mon dawk kamkhueng hanlah kaw sak telah atipouh.
20 So Ahab sent to all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.
Hottelah Ahab ni Isarelnaw pueng koe, tami a patoun teh profetnaw Karmel mon dawk a pâkhueng.
21 Then Elijah drew near to all the people, and said, How long do ye halt between two opinions? if Jehovah be God, follow him; and if Baal, follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
Elijah ni tamihu pui hah a hnai teh, nangmouh ni, bawknae kahni touh rahak vah nâsittouh maw yuem payonnae lungthin hoi kho na sak awh rah. Jehovah teh Cathut katang lah awm pawiteh, ama hah bawk awh. Baal hah cathut katang lah awm pawiteh ama hah bawk awh. Hatei tami pueng ni lawk kam touh hai a pathung awh hoeh.
22 And Elijah said to the people, I, only I, remain a prophet of Jehovah; and Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
Elijah ni BAWIPA e profet kaawm dueng e teh kai dueng doeh toe. Hatei Baal profet teh 450 touh a pha.
23 Let them therefore give us two bullocks: and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and put it on the wood, and put no fire; and I will sacrifice the other bullock, and put it on the wood, and put no fire.
Hatdawkvah, maitotan kahni touh na poe awh haw. Ahnimouh ni buet touh a rawi awh vaiteh koung a tâtueng hnukkhu, thing van vah thueng awh naseh. Hmaisawi sak awh hanh. Hahoi kai ni maitotan buet touh ka rawi van vaiteh, thing van vah ka ta han. Hmai ka sawi van mahoeh,
24 And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of Jehovah; and the god that answers by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, The word is good.
Nangmouh ni na cathutnaw e min hah kaw awh nateh, kai ni hai Jehovah e min hah ka kaw van han. Hmai hoi ka kang sak e Cathut teh Cathut katang lah awm naseh telah taminaw koe a dei pouh. Taminaw ni hai, Elijah e lawk teh a hawi telah ati awh.
25 And Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, Choose one bullock for yourselves, and sacrifice it first; for ye are the many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire.
Elijah ni Baal profetnaw koe vah nangmouh teh tami na pap awh dawkvah, maito buet touh hmaloe kârawi awh nateh, sak awh, hmaisawi laipalah na cathutnaw min hah kaw awh telah atipouh e patetlah,
26 And they took the bullock which had been given them, and sacrificed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, O Baal, answer us! But there was no voice, and none answered. And they leaped about the altar that had been made.
Taminaw ni a poe e maito hah a la teh, thing van a ta hnukkhu, Oe Baal cathut, kaimouh na pato awh haw telah amom hoi kanîthun totouh Baal e min a kaw awh. Hateiteh kamthang banghai awm hoeh. Ka pathung e tami haiyah awm hoeh. A sak awh e thuengnae khoungroe hanlah a lamtu awh.
27 And it came to pass at noon that Elijah mocked them and said, Cry aloud; for he is a god; for he is meditating, or gone aside, or he is on a journey; perhaps he sleeps, and will awake.
Kanî tuengtalueng a thun nah Elijah ni, kacaipounglah kaw awh ei. Na cathut teh a phuenang boma, ahni teh houng hoeh rah boma, ahni teh kahlawng lah boma a cei va, ahni teh muet ka ip boma, pâhlaw awh ei, telah a panuikhai teh a dei pouh.
28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with swords and spears, till the blood gushed out upon them.
Kacaipoung lahoi a kaw awh teh, ouk a sak awh e patetlah sarai hoi tahroe hoi thi pukkâkaawk lah a kâbouk awh.
29 And it came to pass when midday was past, that they prophesied until the [time] of the offering up of the oblation; but there was neither voice, nor any that answered, nor any attention.
Kanî a loum teh tangmin lae thuengnae tueng totouh pou a dei awh rah. Hateiteh, kamthang thoseh, kapathangkung thoseh, alawkpui lah kapoukkung thoseh, awm roeroe hoeh.
30 Then Elijah said to all the people, Draw near to me. And all the people drew near to him. And he repaired the altar of Jehovah which was broken down.
Hatdawkvah, Elijah ni tamihunaw pueng koevah, kai na hnai awh haw telah atipouh teh, tamihupui ni ama teh a hnai awh. Hahoi katim e BAWIPA e khoungroe hah a pathoup awh.
31 And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of Jehovah came saying, Israel shall be thy name;
Na min teh Isarel ti han telah BAWIPA lawk ka dâw e Jakop casaknaw miphun yit touh, Elijah ni talung hlaikahni touh a la.
32 and with the stones he built an altar in the name of Jehovah, and made a trench round about the altar, of the capacity of two measures of seed;
Hote talung hoi BAWIPA hanelah khoungroe hah a sak. Hote khoungroe petkâkalup lah cati pung hni tabang ka cawng lah tuilam a tai.
33 and he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it on the wood. And he said, Fill four pitchers with water, and pour it on the burnt-offering, and on the wood.
Thing hah a mawk teh maitomoi a tâtueng e hah thinghong van a ta. Hahoi hlaam pali touh dawk tui pakawi awh nateh, thueng hane hoi thing hah tui hoi awi awh telah atipouh.
34 And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.
Bout awi awh telah atipouh e patetlah bout a awi awh. Bout awi awh ei telah atipouh teh bout a awi awh rah.
35 And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.
Tui teh khoungroe petkâkalup lah a lawng teh tai e a tuilam dawk yikkawi sak.
36 And it came to pass at [the time of] the offering up of the oblation, that Elijah the prophet drew near, and said, Jehovah, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things by thy word.
Tangmin lah thuengnae atueng a pha toteh, hettelah ao. Elijah ni a hnai teh, Oe, Jehovah, Abraham Isak hoi Isarel Cathut, nang teh Isarel ram dawk Cathut lah na o. Kai teh na san lah ka o. Hete hnonaw pueng heh nange kâ lahoi ka sak tie heh sahnin panuek awh naseh.
37 Answer me, Jehovah, answer me, that this people may know that thou Jehovah art God, and [that] thou hast turned their heart back again.
Ka lawk na thai pouh haw. Hete taminaw niyah nang teh Jehovah Cathut doeh tie thoseh, hete taminaw e lungthin hah a kamlang sak tie thoseh, ahnimouh ni a panue thai awh nahanelah, kaie lawk hah na thai pouh haw, Oe BAWIPA na thai pouh haw telah a ratoum.
38 And the fire of Jehovah fell, and consumed the burnt-offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
Hottelah BAWIPA e hmai a bo teh hmaisawi thuengnae thing hoi talung hoi vaiphu hah a kak teh tai e tuilam dawk e tui koung a hak sak.
39 And all the people saw [it], and they fell on their faces and said, Jehovah, he is God! Jehovah, he is God!
Taminaw pueng ni hote a hmu awh toteh, a tabo awh teh, Jehovah teh Cathut doeh, Jehovah teh Cathut doeh telah ati awh.
40 And Elijah said to them, Seize the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape! And they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the torrent of Kishon, and slaughtered them there.
Elijah ni ahnimouh koe vah, Baal profetnaw hah man awh nateh, buet touh boehai hlout sak awh hanh atipouh. A man awh teh, Elijah ni Kishion palang koe a ceikhai awh teh, hawvah koung a thei.
41 And Elijah said to Ahab, Go up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.
Elijah ni Ahab koevah, canei hanelah luen leih, bangkongtetpawiteh, kho a kâcaw toe telah atipouh.
42 And Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed down on the earth, and put his face between his knees.
Ahab teh canei hanelah a luen. Elijah teh Karmel mon dawk a luen. Talai dawk a tabo teh a khokpakhu rahak vah a minhmai a hro.
43 And he said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up and looked, and said, [There is] nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.
Hahoi a san koevah luen nateh, tuipui hah khenhaw! telah atipouh. A luen teh a khet, banghai awm hoeh telah atipouh. Ahni ni vai sari totouh cet telah atipouh.
44 And it came to pass at the seventh time that he said, Behold there is a cloud, small as a man's hand, arising out of the sea. And he said, Go up, say to Ahab, Harness and go down, that the pour of rain stop thee not.
Avai sarinae dawk hettelah ao. Khenhaw! tuipui dawk hoi kutkasum tit touh tâmai hah a luen telah atipouh. Ahni ni bout cet haw, Ahab koevah, leng rakueng nateh cet leih, bangkongtetpawiteh, kho ni na ngang payon vaih telah tet pouh telah a ti.
45 And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heavens became black [with] clouds and wind, and there was a great pour of rain. And Ahab got on the chariot, and went to Jizreel.
A ro hoehnahlan vah hottelah ao. Kalvan teh kahlî hoi tâmai muen a tamang teh kho teh puenghoi a rak. Ahab teh leng van a kâcui teh Jezreel lah a cei.
46 And the hand of Jehovah was upon Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jizreel.
BAWIPA e kut teh Elijah koe a pha teh ahni teh taisawm hah a kâyeng teh Ahab hmalah Jezreel kâennae longkha totouh a yawng.
