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.
Bangʼ ndalo mangʼeny, e higa mar adek, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne Elija mowachone niya, “Dhiyo mondo inyisri ni Ahab kendo abiro kelo koth e piny.”
2 And Eliiah went to shew himselfe vnto Ahab, and there was a great famine in Samaria.
Omiyo Elija nodhi monyisore ne Ahab. Koro kech ne lich ahinya e piny Samaria,
3 And Ahab called Obadiah the gouernour of his house: (and Obadiah feared God greatly:
kendo Ahab noseluongo Obadia mane otelo ne dala ruoth maduongʼ. Obadia ne en ngʼat man-gi yie motegno kuom Jehova Nyasaye.
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.)
Kane Jezebel nego jonabi mag Jehova Nyasaye, Obadia nokawo jonabi mia achiel mopandogi e buche mag pondo ariyo ka ji piero abich abich e moro ka moro kendo nomiyogi pi gi chiemo.
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 nosewacho ne Obadia niya, “Dhi e piny duto e sokni kod holo duto. Dipo ka wayudo lum mondo farese kod kenje obed mangima mondo kik waneg chiachwa moro amora.”
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.
Omiyo negipogo piny mane gi dhi wuothoe, ka Ahab ochomo konchiel to Obadia ochomo komachielo.
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?
Kane Obadia wuotho, Elija noromo kode. Obadia nonene mongʼeye kendo nokulore nyaka e lowo mowacho niya, “Bende en in adier Elija ruodha?”
8 And he answered him, Yea, goe tell thy lord, Behold, Eliiah is here.
Elija to nodwoke niya, “Ee. Dhiyo inyis ruodhi ni, ‘Elija nika.’”
9 And he said, What haue I sinned, that thou wouldest deliuer thy seruant into the hande of Ahab, to slay me?
Obadia to nopenje niya, “En angʼo masetimo marach makoro omiyo ichiwo jatichni ni Ahab mondo onegi?
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.
Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ni onge piny moro kata pinyruoth moro ma ruodha pok oseore ngʼato mondo omanyi. To e kinde moro amora mane piny moro kata pinyruoth moro owacho ni ionge kuno, nomiyo gikwongʼore ni ne ok ginyal yudi.
11 And now thou sayest, Goe, tell thy lorde, Beholde, Eliiah is here.
To koro inyisa mondo adhi ir ruodha mondo anyise ni, ‘Elija ni ka.’
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.
Ok angʼeyo kama Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nyalo tingʼi ma terie bangʼ kasedhi. Ka adhi ma anyiso Ahab mi ok oyudi to obiro nega. To an jatichni aselamo Jehova Nyasaye ae tin-na.
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?
Donge isewinjo, ruodha gima natimo kane Jezebel nego jonabi mag Jehova Nyasaye? Napando jonabi mia achiel mag Jehova Nyasaye e buche mag pondo ariyo, ka apogogi piero abich abich mi amiyogi chiemo gi pi.
14 And now thou sayest, Go, tel thy lord, Behold, Eliiah is here, that he may slay me.
To koro inyisa mondo adhi ir ruodha kendo awachne ni, ‘Elija ni ka.’ Donge ingʼeyo ni obiro nega!”
15 And Eliiah said, As the Lord of hostes liueth, before whome I stand, I will surely shewe my selfe vnto him this day.
Elija nodwoke niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, matiyone, ni adier kawuononi nyaka adhi e nyim Ahab.”
16 So Obadiah went to meete Ahab, and tolde him: And Ahab went to meete Eliiah.
Omiyo Obadia nodhi romo ne Ahab monyise ni Elija ni ka. Omiyo Ahab nodhi oromo ne Elija.
17 And when Ahab saw Eliiah, Ahab said vnto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
Kane oneno Elija, nowachone niya, “Mano en in, jakel chandruok ni Israel-ni?”
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.
Elija nodwoke niya, “Ok asekelo chandruok e Israel. To in gi odi ema isejwangʼo chike Jehova Nyasaye mi iluwo Baal.
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.
Koro luong jo-Israel duto mondo orom koda e Got Karmel. Kendo kel jodolo mag Baal mia angʼwen gi piero abich kod jonabi mia angʼwen mag Ashera, machiemo e mesa Jezebel.”
20 So Ahab sent vnto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together vnto mount Carmel.
Omiyo Ahab nooro wach e Israel duto mi nochoko jonabi ewi Got Karmel.
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.
Elija nodhi mochungʼ e nyim ji mowachonegi niya, “Nyaka karangʼo ma ubiro digni e kind paro ariyo? Ka Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasaye, luweuru, to ka Baal en nyasaye luweuru.” To ji ne olingʼ thi.
22 Then said Eliiah vnto the people, I onely remayne a Prophet of the Lord: but Baals prophets are foure hundreth and fiftie men.
Eka Elija nowachonegi niya, “An kende ema adongʼ kuom jonabi mag Jehova Nyasaye to Baal nigi jonabi mia angʼwen kod piero abich.
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.
Yudnwauru rwedhi ariyo. We giyier moro kendgi obed margi, gingʼadgi lemo lemo mi giketgi ewi yien to kik gimok mach kuome. An bende anaik rwath machielo makete ewi yien to ok anamok mach kuome.
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.
Eka uluong nying nyasachu kendo an bende abiro luongo nying Jehova Nyasaye. Nyasaye modwoko gi mach en e Nyasaye madier.” Eka ji duto nowacho niya, “Gima iwachono ber.”
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.
Elija nowacho ni jonabi mag Baal niya, “Yieruru achiel kuom rwedhigo kendo loseuru mokwongo nikech ungʼeny ahinya. Luonguru nying nyasachu to kik umok mach.”
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.
Omiyo negikawo rwath mane omigi mi gilose. Eka negiluongo nying Baal chakre okinyi nyaka odiechiengʼ tir ka gikok niya, “Yaye Baal, dwokwa!” To ne onge dwoko, onge ngʼama nodwoko. Kendo ne gimiel ka gilworo kendo mar misango mane giseloso.
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.
Kar odiechiengʼ tir, Elija nojarogi kawacho niya, “Koguru matek moloyo!” Adier en nyasaye! Sa moro en e paro matut; kata odich kata odhi wuoth! Kamoro dipo ka onindo matut manyaka chiewe.
28 And they cryed loude, and cut them selues as their maner was, with kniues and launcers, till the blood gushed out vpon them.
Omiyo negimedo kok matek mi gingʼolore gi ligangla kod tonge, kaka ne en timgi nyaka rembgi nomol.
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.
Odiechiengʼ tir nokalo kendo negidhi nyime ka gikoro kendo gidhum nyaka nochopo kinde mar misango mar odhiambo. To ne onge dwoko, kata ngʼama nodwoko kata ngʼama nowinjogi.
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.
Eka Elija nowacho ni ji duto niya, “Biuru ira ka.” Negibiro ire mi nochako loso kendo mar misango mar Jehova Nyasaye mane osekethore.
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)
Elija nokawo kite apar gariyo, ka moro ka moro ochungʼ ni dhood Israel mane owuok kuom Jakobo, mane Jehova Nyasaye owachonegi niya, “Nyingi nobed Israel.”
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.
Gi kitego nogero kendo mar misango e nying Jehova Nyasaye; kendo nokunyo bugo molwore matut manyalo tingʼo pi maromo lita apar gabich.
33 And he put the wood in order, and hewed the bullocke in pieces, and layd him on the wood,
Nochano yien, mongʼado rwadhno e lemo lemo mokete e yien. Eka nowachonegi niya, “Pongʼuru dopige angʼwen mag pi mondo uolie misango kod yien.”
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.
Nomedo wachonegi niya, “Timuru kamano kendo mine gitimo kamano kendo.” Eka nogolo chik kowacho niya, “Timeuru mar adek” mine gitime mar adek.
35 And the water ran round about the altar: and he filled the ditch with water also.
Pi nomol molworo kendo mar misango kendo nopongʼo kata mana okuta.
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.
E kinde mar chiwo misango, Elija janabi nosudo nyime molemo kowacho niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Ibrahim gi Isaka kod Israel, we ongʼere kawuono ni in e Nyasaye e Israel kendo ni an jatichni bende ni asetimo magi duto kaluwore gi chikni.
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.
Dwoka, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, dwoka mondo jogi ongʼe ni in Nyasaye, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kendo ni iloko chunygi mondo oduog iri kendo.”
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.
Eka mach mar Jehova Nyasaye nolwar kendo nowangʼo misango gi yien gi kite kod lowo notwoyo pi mane nitie e bugo.
39 And when all the people sawe it, they fell on their faces, and saide, The Lord is God, the Lord is God.
Kane ji duto oneno mano, negipodho auma mi giywak kagiwacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye e Nyasaye! Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasaye!”
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.
Eka Elija nochikogi kawacho niya, “Makuru jonabi mag Baal. Kik uwe ngʼato tony!” Ne gimakogi mi Elija nochiwo chik mondo tergi Holo mar Kishon kendo nonegogi kuro.
41 And Eliiah sayde vnto Ahab, Get thee vp, eate and drinke, for there is a sound of much rayne.
Kendo Elija nowacho ni Ahab niya, “Dhi ichiem kendo imethi nikech nitie mor koth maduongʼ kawuono.”
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,
Omiyo Ahab nodhi mochiemo kendo metho, to Elija noidho ewi Got Karmel mokulore piny kendo osoyo wiye e kind chonge.
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.
Nowacho ni jatichne niya, “Dhiyo mondo ingʼi yo ka nam.” Kendo nodhi mongʼiyo. Noduogo mowacho niya, “Ok aneno gimoro kanyo.” Elija nowachone nyadibiriyo niya, “Dogi mondo ingʼi.”
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.
E ndalo mar abiriyo jatijno nowacho niya, “Bor polo matin machalo gi lwet dhano kowuok e nam.” Omiyo Elija nowacho niya, “Dhiyo mondo inyis Ahab ni, ‘Idh gachi kendo dhiyo kapok koth ogengʼoni.’”
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.
To kata kamano polo nodudo kendo yamo nokudho mi koth maduongʼ nochako oo kendo Ahab nodhi Jezreel.
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.
Teko Jehova Nyasaye nobiro kuom Elija kendo kokunjo kandhone ei okandane, noringo e nyim Ahab nyaka negichopo Jezreel.
