1 Kings 18
1 After many dayes, the worde of the Lord came to Eliiah, in the third yeere, saying, Goe, shewe thy selfe vnto Ahab, and I will sende rayne vpon the earth.
Khohnin muep a koe phoeikah a kum thum dongah BOEIPA ol te Elijah taengla pawk tih, “Cet lamtah Ahab taengah phoe pah, diklai hman ah khotlan kan paek bitni,” a ti nah.
2 And Eliiah went to shew himselfe vnto Ahab, and there was a great famine in Samaria.
Te dongah Elijah te Ahab taengah phoe hamla cet. Te vaengah Samaria ah khokha tlung.
3 And Ahab called Obadiah the gouernour of his house: (and Obadiah feared God greatly:
Te dongah Ahab loh im kah Obadiah te a khue. Te vaengah Obadiah tah BOEIPA bahoeng aka rhih la om.
4 For when Iezebel destroyed the Prophets of the Lord, Obadiah tooke an hundreth Prophets, and hid them, by fiftie in a caue, and he fed them with bread and water.)
BOEIPA kah tonghma rhoek te Jezebel loh a thup ham a om vaengah khaw Obadiah loh tonghma yakhat te a khuen tih amih te lungko pakhat ah hlang sawmnga rhip a thuh. Te phoeiah amih te buh neh tui neh a cangbam.
5 And Ahab saide vnto Obadiah, Goe into the land, vnto all the fountaines of water, and vnto all the riuers, if so be that we may finde grasse to saue the horses and the mules aliue, lest we depriue the lande of the beastes.
Ahab loh Obadiah te, “Khohmuen kah tuisih tui boeih neh soklong boeih te paan lamtah sulrham khaw m'hmuh khaming. Te daengah ni marhang neh muli-marhang n'hing sak vetih rhamsa khaw n'hlong pawt eh?,” a ti nah.
6 And so they deuided the lande betweene them to walke thorowe it. Ahab went one way by him selfe, and Obadiah went another way by him selfe.
Khohmuen tom til hamla amamih tael uh thae. Ahab te amah bueng longpuei pakhat ah cet tih Obadiah khaw amah bueng longpuei pakhat ah cet.
7 And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Eliiah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art not thou my lord Eliiah?
Obadiah te longpueng ah a om vaengah anih te Elijah loh tapkhoeh a doe. Anih te a hmat coeng dongah a maelhmai dongah buluk tih, “Ka boeipa Elijah nang a te?” a ti nah.
8 And he answered him, Yea, goe tell thy lord, Behold, Eliiah is here.
Te phoeiah Obadiah te, “Kai ue, cet lamtah na boeipa taengah, 'Elijah ke,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
9 And he said, What haue I sinned, that thou wouldest deliuer thy seruant into the hande of Ahab, to slay me?
Te phoeiah, “Kai duek sak hamla Ahab kut ah na sal nan tloeng ham khaw nang balae ka tholh?”
10 As the Lord thy God liueth, there is no nation or kingdome, whither my lorde hath not sent to seeke thee: and when they sayd, He is not here, he tooke an othe of the kingdome and nation, if they had not found thee.
Nang kah Pathen BOEIPA kah hingnah dongah, nang tlap pahoi ham ka boei loh n'tueih pawh, namtom neh ram om voel pawh. Nang m'hmuh pawt te, “Om pawh,” a ti uh vaengah ram neh namtom khaw a toemngam coeng.
11 And now thou sayest, Goe, tell thy lorde, Beholde, Eliiah is here.
Tedae nang loh, 'Na boei taengah cet lamtah 'Elijah he,’ ti nah,’ na ti mai.
12 And when I am gone from thee, the Spirit of the Lord shall cary thee into some place that I doe not know: so when I come and tell Ahab, if he cannot finde thee, then wil he kill me: But I thy seruant feare the Lord from my youth.
Kai he nang taeng lamloh ka nong tih BOEIPA kah Mueihla loh ka ming nah pawt la nang n'khuen khaming. Ahab taengla puen ham ka caeh vaengah nang m'hmu pawt mai koinih kai n'ngawn ni ta. Tedae na sal he ka camoe lamloh BOEIPA te ka rhih ngawn ne.
13 Was it not tolde my lord, what I did when Iezebel slew the Prophets of the Lord, how I hid an hundreth men of the Lordes Prophets by fifties in a caue, and fed them with bread and water?
Jezebel loh BOEIPA kah tonghma rhoek a ngawn vaengah ka saii te ka boeipa taengla ha puen pawt nim? BOEIPA tonghma hlang yakhat te lungko pakhat ah hlang sawmnga, sawmnga rhip ka thuh tih amih te buh neh tui neh ka cangbam coeng.
14 And now thou sayest, Go, tel thy lord, Behold, Eliiah is here, that he may slay me.
Tedae tahae ah, “Cet lamtah na boei rhoek taengah 'Elijah he 'ti nah na ti vaengah kai n'ngawn pawn ni,” a ti nah.
15 And Eliiah said, As the Lord of hostes liueth, before whome I stand, I will surely shewe my selfe vnto him this day.
Elijah loh, “Caempuei BOEIPA kah hingnah bangla amah mikhmuh ah ka pai coeng. Tihnin ah Ahab taengla ka phoe kuekluek ni,” a ti nah.
16 So Obadiah went to meete Ahab, and tolde him: And Ahab went to meete Eliiah.
Obadiah te Ahab doe hamla cet tih a taengah a puen pah. Te dongah Ahab khaw Elijah doe hamla cet.
17 And when Ahab saw Eliiah, Ahab said vnto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
Ahab loh Elijah te a hmuh vaengah Ahab loh anih te, “Israel aka lawn te nang nama?” a ti nah.
18 And he answered, I haue not troubled Israel, but thou, and thy fathers house, in that ye haue forsaken the commandements of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim.
Te vaengah, “Israel te ka lawn pawt tih namah neh na pa imkhui loh na lawn. BOEIPA olpaek te na toeng uh tih Baal hnukah na pongpa uh.
19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel vnto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal foure hundreth and fiftie, and the prophets of the groues foure hundreth, which eate at Iezebels table.
Karmel tlang la kamah taengah Israel pum neh Baal tonghma rhoek ya li sawmnga, Jezebel caboei aka vael Asherah tonghma ya li te khue lamtah coi laeh,” a ti nah.
20 So Ahab sent vnto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together vnto mount Carmel.
Ahab loh Israel ca boeih te a tah tih tonghma rhoek neh Karmel tlang ah a tingtun sak.
21 And Eliiah came vnto all the people, and said, How long halt ye betweene two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal be he, then goe after him. And the people answered him not a worde.
Te vaengah Elijah te pilnam pum taengla mop tih, “Pomnah panit dongah ah me hil nim na ingang uh ve? Pathen Yahweh kah van atah a hnukah rhep pongpa uh. Tedae Baal kah van atah anih hnukah rhep pongpa uh,” a ti nah vaengah pilnam loh anih te ol doo pawh.
22 Then said Eliiah vnto the people, I onely remayne a Prophet of the Lord: but Baals prophets are foure hundreth and fiftie men.
Elijah loh pilnam taengah, “Kai he kamah bueng ni BOEIPA kah tonghma la ka cul coeng. Tedae Baal kah tonghma rhoek tah hlang ya li sawmnga lo.
23 Let them therefore giue vs two bullockes, and let them chuse the one, and cut him in pieces, and lay him on the wood, but put no fire vnder, and I will prepare the other bullocke, and lay him on the wood, and will put no fire vnder.
Kaimih ham vaito pumnit m'pae uh laeh. Vaito pumat te amih ham coelh uh saeh lamtah top uh saeh. Te phoeiah thing soah tloeng uh saeh lamtah hmai toih uh boel saeh. Kai khaw vaito pakhat te ka ngawn vetih thing soah ka tloeng van ni, tedae hmai toih van mahpawh.
24 Then call ye on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the Lord: and then the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered, and sayde, It is well spoken.
Na pathen rhoek kah ming te khue uh lamtah kai khaw Yahweh ming te ka khue eh. Tedae hmai neh aka doo Pathen te tah Pathen tang la om ni,” a ti nah. Te vaengah pilnam pum loh a doo tih, “Ol then ni,” a ti uh.
25 And Eliiah said vnto the prophets of Baal, Chuse you a bullocke, and prepare him first, (for ye are many) and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire vnder.
Te phoeiah Elijah loh Baal tonghma rhoek taengah, “Namamih ham vaito pumat ah tuek uh. Na yet uh dongah lamhma la saii lamtah na pathen ming te khue uh. Tedae hmai tah toih uh boeh,” a ti nah.
26 So they tooke the one bullocke, that was giuen them, and they prepared it, and called on the name of Baal, from morning to noone, saying, O Baal, heare vs: but there was no voyce, nor any to answere: and they leapt vpon the altar that was made.
Te dongah vaito a khuen uh te amih taengah a paek uh tih a ngawn uh. Baal ming te mincang lamloh khothun hil a khue uh. “Baal, kaimih n'doo lah,” a ti uh. Tedae ol a om pawt tih a doo pawt dongah a saii hmueihtuk taengah ingang uh.
27 And at noone Eliiah mocked them, and said, Crye loude: for he is a god: either he talketh or pursueth his enemies, or is in his iourney, or it may be that he sleepeth, and must be awaked.
Khothun a pha vaengah Elijah tah amih taengah omsaa tih, “Ol a len la pang uh, na pathen te kohuetnah om khaming, anih te bitok khaming, anih te yiin mai khaming, anih te muelh ip mai khaming, haeng uh dae,” a ti nah.
28 And they cryed loude, and cut them selues as their maner was, with kniues and launcers, till the blood gushed out vpon them.
Te dongah ol a len la pang uh. Amih kah khosing bangla a pum dongkah thii a long hil cunghang neh cai neh a hlap uh.
29 And when midday was passed, and they had prophecied vntil the offring of the euening sacrifice, there was neither voyce, nor one to answere, nor any that regarded.
Khothun a poeng tih khocang nawn hil khaw tonghma uh. Tedae ol om pawt tih a doo voel pawt dongah hnatungnah khaw om pawh.
30 And Eliiah said vnto all the people, Come to me. And all the people came to him. And he repayred the altar of the Lord that was broken downe.
Elijah loh pilnam boeih te, “Kai taengla ha thoeih uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah pilnam pum te anih taengla thoeih uh tih BOEIPA kah hmueihtuk a koengloeng tangtae te a tlaih uh.
31 And Eliiah tooke twelue stones, according to the nomber of the tribes of the sonnes of Iaakob, (vnto whome the worde of the Lord came, saying, Israel shalbe thy name)
A taengah BOEIPA ol pawk tih, “Na ming he Israel la om saeh,” a ti nah vanbangla Jakob ca rhoek kah koca tarhing ah Elijah loh lungto hlai nit a loh.
32 And with the stones he buylt an altar in the Name of the Lord: and he made a ditch round about the altar, as great as woulde conteine two measures of seede.
BOEIPA ming neh hmueihtuk lung te koep a khoeng tih hmueihtuk kaep ah cangti sum nit cet la tuilong a saii.
33 And he put the wood in order, and hewed the bullocke in pieces, and layd him on the wood,
Thing te a hawn phoeiah vaito te a top tih thing soah a tloeng.
34 And said, Fill foure barrels with water, and powre it on the burnt offring and on the wood. Againe he said, Doe so againe. And they did so the second time. And he sayde, Doe it the third time. And they did it the third time.
Te phoeiah amrhaeng pali dongah tui than uh lamtah hmueihhlutnah soah khaw, thing soah khaw, bueih uh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah, “Talh dae,” a ti nah tih a talh uh. Te phoeiah, “Voei thum,” a ti nah tih voei thum a saiiuh.
35 And the water ran round about the altar: and he filled the ditch with water also.
Tui te hmueihtuk kaepvai la long tih tuilong ah pataeng tui bae.
36 And when they should offer the euening sacrifice, Eliiah the Prophet came, and sayd, Lord God of Abraham, Izhak and of Israel, let it be knowen this day, that thou art the God of Israel, and that I am thy seruant, and that I haue done all these things at thy commandement.
Khocang nawn tue a pha vaengah tonghma Elijah te thoeih tih, “Abraham, Isaak neh Israel Pathen Yahweh aw, tihnin ah namah te Pathen la Israel khuiah m'ming saeh. Na ol vanbangla kai he namah kah sal ni. Na ol bangla he hno cungkuem he ka saii.
37 Heare me, O Lord, heare me, and let this people know that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart againe at the last.
Kai he n'doo lah, BOEIPA aw kai n'doo lah. Te daengah ni he pilnam loh nang Yahweh Pathen neh namah loh a hnuk la amih lungbuei na mael sak ham khaw a ming uh eh,” a ti nah.
38 Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt offring, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked vp the water that was in the ditche.
Te vaengah BOEIPA kah hmai suntla tih hmueihhlutnah neh thing khaw, lungto neh laipi khaw a hlawp tih tuilong kah tui te a laeh.
39 And when all the people sawe it, they fell on their faces, and saide, The Lord is God, the Lord is God.
Pilnam cungkuem loh a hmuh vaengah a maelhmai dongla buluk uh tih, “Yahweh amah tah Pathen ni, Yahweh amah tah Pathen ni,” a ti uh.
40 And Elijah said vnto them, Take the prophets of Baal, let not a man of them escape. and they tooke them, and Eliiah brought them to the brooke Kishon, and slewe them there.
Elijah loh amih taengah, “Baal tonghma rhoek te tu uh, amih hlang te loeih boel saeh,” a ti nah. Amih te a tuuk uh phoeiah tah Elijah loh Kishon soklong la a suntlak puei tih pahoi a ngawn.
41 And Eliiah sayde vnto Ahab, Get thee vp, eate and drinke, for there is a sound of much rayne.
Te phoeiah Elijah loh Ahab te, “Khonal tlanthim ol halo coeng. Te dongah cet laeh, ca lamtah o laeh,” a ti nah.
42 So Ahab went vp to eate and to drinke, and Eliiah went vp to the top of Carmel: and he crouched vnto the earth, and put his face betweene his knees,
Te dongah Ahab te caak ham neh ok hamla cet. Tedae Elijah tah Karmel som la luei. Te phoeiah diklai la kuisu uh tih a maelhmai te a khuklu neh a khuklu laklo ah a khueh.
43 And sayde to his seruant, Goe vp now and looke towarde the way of the Sea. And he went vp, and looked, and sayde, There is nothing. Againe he sayd, Goe againe seuen times.
Te phoeiah amah kah a tueihyoeih te, “Cet laeh lamtah tuipuei longpuei ke paelki,” a ti nah. Cet tih a paelki phoeiah, “Pakhat khaw om pawh,” a ti nah dongah voei rhih hil, “Mael dae,” a ti nah.
44 And at the seuenth time he sayd, Behold, there ariseth a litle cloude out of the sea like a mans hand. Then he sayd, Vp, and say vnto Ahab, Make readie thy charet, and get thee downe, that the raine stay thee not.
A voei rhih dongla a pha vaengah tah, “Khomai ca, tuipuei lamloh hlang kut bangla ha luei ke,” a ti nah. Te dongah, “Cet lamtah Ahab te, 'Hlah uh lamtah suntla laeh. Te daengah ni nang te khonal loh n'khaih pawt eh?,” ti nah,’ a ti nah.
45 And in the meane while the heauen was blacke with cloudes and winde, and there was a great rayne. Then Ahab went vp and came to Izreel.
Rhaih, rhaih a om phoeiah tah vaan ah khomai hmuep tih khohli neh khonal tlanthim ha pawk. Ahab khaw a ngol neh Jezreel la cet.
46 And the hand of the Lord was on Eliiah, and he girded vp his Ioynes, and ran before Ahab till he came to Izreel.
