< 1 Kings 21 >

1 Sometime later this happened: There was a man named Naboth from Jezreel, who owned a vineyard in Jezreel close to King Ahab's palace in Samaria.
Ó sì ṣe lẹ́yìn nǹkan wọ̀nyí Naboti ará Jesreeli sì ní ọgbà àjàrà kan ní Jesreeli, ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ ààfin Ahabu ọba Samaria.
2 Ahab went to Naboth and said, “Give me your vineyard so I can turn it into a vegetable garden, because it's close to my palace. In return I'll give you a better vineyard, or if you want I'll pay you for it in cash.”
Ahabu sì wí fún Naboti pé, “Fún mi ní ọgbà àjàrà rẹ, kí èmi kí ó fi ṣe ọgbà-ewébẹ̀, nítorí tí ó súnmọ́ tòsí ilé mi, èmi yóò sì fún ọ ní ọgbà àjàrà tí ó sàn jù ú lọ dípò rẹ̀; tàbí bí ó bá sì dára ní ojú rẹ, èmi yóò fi iye owó rẹ̀ fún ọ.”
3 But Naboth replied, “The Lord curse me if I should give you my forefathers' inheritance.”
Ṣùgbọ́n Naboti wí fún Ahabu pé, “Olúwa má jẹ́ kí èmi fi ogún àwọn baba mi fún ọ.”
4 Ahab went home sulking and infuriated because Naboth from Jezreel had said, “I will not give you my forefathers' inheritance.” He went to bed, wouldn't look at anyone, and refused to eat.
Ahabu sì wá sí ilé rẹ̀, ó wugbọ́, inú rẹ̀ sì bàjẹ́ nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ tí Naboti ará Jesreeli sọ fún un; nítorí tí ó wí pé, “Èmi kì yóò fún ọ ní ogún àwọn baba mi.” Ó sì dùbúlẹ̀ lórí ibùsùn rẹ̀, ó sì yí ojú rẹ̀ padà, kò sì fẹ́ jẹun.
5 His wife Jezebel came in and asked him, “Why are you so upset about? That you don't want to eat?”
Jesebeli aya rẹ̀ sì tọ̀ ọ́ wá, ó sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Èéṣe tí inú rẹ fi bàjẹ́, èéṣe tí ìwọ kò sì jẹun?”
6 Ahab replied, “It's because I talked with Naboth from Jezreel and I asked him, ‘Give me your vineyard for cash, or if you want, I'll give you another vineyard instead.’ But he said, ‘I will not give you my vineyard.’”
Ó sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Nítorí tí mo wí fún Naboti ará Jesreeli pé, ‘Ta ọgbà àjàrà rẹ fún mi, tàbí bí ó bá wù ọ́, èmi yóò fún ọ ní ọgbà àjàrà mìíràn ní ipò rẹ̀.’ Ṣùgbọ́n ó wí pé, ‘Èmi kì yóò fún ọ ní ọgbà àjàrà mi.’”
7 “Aren't you the king of Israel?” his wife Jezebel replied. “Get up, have something to eat, and cheer up. I'll get you the vineyard of Naboth from Jezreel.”
Jesebeli aya rẹ̀ sì wí pé, “Ṣé báyìí ni ìwọ yóò ṣe ṣe bí ọba lórí Israẹli? Dìde, jẹun! Kí o sì jẹ́ kí inú rẹ̀ dùn. Èmi yóò sì fún ọ ní ọgbà àjàrà Naboti ará Jesreeli.”
8 So she wrote some letters in Ahab's name and sealed them with his seal. She sent the letters to the elders and leaders in the town where Naboth lived.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó kọ̀wé ní orúkọ Ahabu, ó sì fi èdìdì rẹ̀ dì í, ó sì fi ìwé náà ránṣẹ́ sí àwọn àgbàgbà àti àwọn ọlọ́lá tí ó ń gbé ní ìlú Naboti pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
9 In the letters she wrote to tell them, “Announce a religious fast, and give Naboth a seat of honor.
Nínú àwọn ìwé náà, ó kọ pé, “Ẹ kéde àwẹ̀, kí ẹ sì fi Naboti sí ipò ọlá láàrín àwọn ènìyàn.
10 But seat two bad men opposite him and have them accuse him, saying, ‘You have cursed God and the king!’ Then take him out and stone him to death.”
Ṣùgbọ́n kí ẹ fi ènìyàn méjì, ẹni búburú síwájú rẹ̀ láti jẹ́rìí sí i wí pé, ó bú Ọlọ́run àti ọba. Nígbà náà ni kí ẹ mú u jáde, kí ẹ sì sọ ọ́ ní òkúta pa.”
11 So the elders and leaders who lived in Naboth's town did as Jezebel had said in the letters she had written and sent to them.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn àgbàgbà àti àwọn ọlọ́lá tí wọ́n ń ṣe ará ìlú Naboti sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwé tí Jesebeli kọ ránṣẹ́ sí wọn.
12 They announced a religious fast, and gave Naboth a seat of honor.
Wọ́n sì kéde àwẹ̀, wọ́n sì fi Naboti sí ipò ọlá láàrín àwọn ènìyàn.
13 Two bad men came and sat opposite him, and accused him in front of the people, saying, “Naboth has cursed God and the king.” So they took him outside the town and stoned him to death.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ọkùnrin méjì sì dé, àwọn ẹni búburú, wọ́n sì jókòó síwájú rẹ̀, wọ́n sì jẹ́rìí lòdì sí Naboti níwájú àwọn ènìyàn wí pé, “Naboti ti bú Ọlọ́run àti ọba.” Nígbà náà ni wọ́n mú jáde kúrò ní ìlú, wọ́n sì sọ ọ́ ní òkúta pa.
14 Then they sent a message to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned. He's dead.”
Nígbà náà ni wọ́n ránṣẹ́ sí Jesebeli wí pé, “A ti sọ Naboti ní òkúta, ó sì kú.”
15 As soon as Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and he was dead, Jezebel told Ahab, “Get up, go and claim ownership of the vineyard of Naboth from Jezreel, which he refused to sell you, for Naboth is no longer alive, but dead.”
Bí Jesebeli sì ti gbọ́ pé, a ti sọ Naboti ní Òkúta pa, ó sì wí fún Ahabu pé, “Dìde! Kí o sì jogún ọgbà àjàrà Naboti, ará Jesreeli, tí ó kọ̀ láti tà fún ọ kò sí láààyè mọ́, ó ti kú.”
16 When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, he got up and went to claim ownership of Naboth's vineyard.
Nígbà tí Ahabu sì gbọ́ pé Naboti ti kú, ó sì dìde, ó sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ láti jogún ọgbà àjàrà Naboti.
17 Then the Lord sent a message to Elijah the Tishbite:
Nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ Elijah ará Tiṣibi wá wí pé,
18 “Go and meet Ahab, king of Israel, in Samaria. He is right now in Naboth's vineyard, where he has gone to claim ownership of it.
“Sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ láti lọ pàdé Ahabu ọba Israẹli, tí ó wà ní Samaria. Ó wà ní ọgbà àjàrà Naboti báyìí, níbi tí ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ láti jogún rẹ̀.
19 Tell him: This is what the Lord says: Have you murdered a man and robbed him? Then tell him: This is what the Lord says: In the very spot where dogs licked up Naboth's blood, dogs will lick up your own blood.”
Sọ fún un pé, ‘Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ kò ti pa ènìyàn, o sì ti fi agbára gba ogún rẹ̀?’ Nígbà náà ni kí o wí fún un pé, ‘Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: Níbi tí ajá gbé lá ẹ̀jẹ̀ Naboti, ni àwọn ajá yóò lá ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ, àní tìrẹ!’”
20 “So have you come to find me, my enemy?” Ahab asked Elijah. “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do what is evil in the Lord sight,” Elijah replied.
Ahabu sì wí fún Elijah pé, “Ìwọ ti rí mi, ìwọ ọ̀tá mi!” Ó sì dáhùn wí pé, “Èmi ti rí ọ, nítorí tí ìwọ ti tan ara rẹ láti ṣe búburú níwájú Olúwa.
21 He says, “Watch out! I'm going to bring disaster on you and destroy your descendants. I will kill from every male of Ahab's line, both slave and free, in the whole of Israel.
‘Èmi yóò mú ibi wá sórí rẹ. Èmi yóò sì mú ìran rẹ kúrò, èmi yóò sì ké kúrò lọ́dọ̀ Ahabu gbogbo ọmọdé ọkùnrin, àti ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀, àti òmìnira ní Israẹli.
22 I will make your house like that of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, and like that of Baasha, son of Ahijah, because you have angered me and made Israel sin.
Èmi yóò ṣe ilé rẹ bí ilé Jeroboamu, ọmọ Nebati, àti bí ilé Baaṣa, ọmọ Ahijah, nítorí ìwọ ti mú mi bínú, ìwọ sì ti mú Israẹli ṣẹ̀.’
23 And as far as Jezebel is concerned, the Lord says, ‘Dogs will eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.’
“Àti ní ti Jesebeli pẹ̀lú Olúwa wí pé, ‘Àwọn ajá yóò jẹ Jesebeli nínú yàrá Jesreeli.’
24 Those of Ahab's family who die in the town will be eaten by dogs, and those who die in the countryside will be eaten by birds.”
“Àwọn ajá yóò jẹ ẹni Ahabu tí ó kú ní ìlú, àwọn ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run yóò jẹ àwọn ẹni tí ó kú ní igbó.”
25 (No one else was so bad as Ahab, who sold himself to do what is evil in the Lord's sight, because his wife Jezebel encouraged him.
(Kò sí ẹnìkan bí Ahabu tí ó ta ara rẹ̀ láti ṣe búburú níwájú Olúwa, ẹni tí Jesebeli aya rẹ̀ ń tì.
26 He did the most despicable things, worshiping idols like the Amorites the Lord had driven out before Israel.)
Ó sì ṣe ohun ìríra gidigidi ní tí tọ òrìṣà lẹ́yìn, gẹ́gẹ́ bí gbogbo ohun tí àwọn ará Amori ti ṣe, tí Olúwa lé jáde níwájú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.)
27 As soon as Ahab heard this message, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and fasted. He even went to bed in sackcloth, and walked around repentantly.
Nígbà tí Ahabu sì gbọ́ àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí, ó sì fa aṣọ rẹ̀ ya, ó sì fi aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ sí ara rẹ̀, ó sì gbààwẹ̀. Ó sì dùbúlẹ̀ nínú aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀, ó sì ń lọ jẹ́ẹ́.
28 Then the Lord sent a message to Elijah the Tishbite:
Nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ Elijah ará Tiṣibi wá wí pé,
29 “Have you seen how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Because he has humbled himself before me, I will not bring the disaster during his lifetime, but I will bring down disaster on his family in the lifetime of his son.”
“Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ ti rí bí Ahabu ti rẹ̀ ara rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ níwájú mi? Nítorí tí ó ti rẹ̀ ara rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, èmi kì yóò mú ibi náà wá ní ọjọ́ rẹ, ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò mú u wá sí ilé rẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ ọmọ rẹ̀.”
