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.
Pea ʻi heʻene hili ange ʻae ngaahi ʻaho lahi, naʻe hoko ai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia ʻIlaisiā ʻi hono tolu ʻoe taʻu, ʻo pehē, “Ke ke ʻalu ʻo fakahā atu koe kia ʻEhapi; pea te u fakatō hifo ʻae ʻuha ki he fonua.”
2 And Eliiah went to shew himselfe vnto Ahab, and there was a great famine in Samaria.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻIlaisiā ke fakahā ia kia ʻEhapi. Pea naʻe lahi ʻae honge ʻi Samēlia.
3 And Ahab called Obadiah the gouernour of his house: (and Obadiah feared God greatly:
Pea naʻe ui ʻe ʻEhapi kia ʻOpataia, ʻaia naʻe pule ʻi hono fale: (ka ko eni, naʻe manavahē lahi ʻa ʻOpataia kia Sihova:
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.)
He naʻe pehē, ʻi heʻene tāmateʻi ʻe Sisipeli ʻae kau palōfita ʻa Sihova, naʻe ʻave ʻae kau palōfita ʻe toko teau ʻe ʻOpataia, ʻo ne fakafufū ʻakinautolu ko e taki nimangofulu ʻi ha ʻana, mo ne fafanga kinautolu ʻaki ʻae mā pea mo e vai.)
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEhapi kia ʻOpataia, “Ke ke ʻalu atu ki he fonua, ki he ngaahi matavai kotoa pē, pea ki he ngaahi vaitafe kotoa pē: heiʻilo te tau maʻu ai ha mohuku ke fakamoʻui ʻaki ʻae fanga hoosi mo e fanga miuli, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa mole ʻae fanga manu kotoa pē.”
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.
Ko ia naʻa na vaheua ʻae fonua ʻiate kinaua ke ʻosiki ia ʻi heʻena ʻalu ai: naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻEhapi ʻi hono hala ʻoʻona, pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻOpataia ʻi hono hala kehe ʻoʻona.
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?
Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu ʻa ʻOpataia ʻi he hala, vakai, naʻe fakafetaulaki mai ʻa ʻIlaisiā kiate ia: pea naʻa ne ʻiloʻi ia, ʻo ne tō hifo ki hono mata, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko koe ʻapē ko hoku ʻeiki ko ʻIlaisiā?
8 And he answered him, Yea, goe tell thy lord, Behold, Eliiah is here.
Pea naʻa ne pehēange kiate ia, “Ko au ʻalu ʻo tala ki hoʻo ʻeiki, Vakai, ko ʻIlaisiā eni.”
9 And he said, What haue I sinned, that thou wouldest deliuer thy seruant into the hande of Ahab, to slay me?
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Ko e hā ʻa ʻeku fai hala, ke ke tukuange ai ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ki he nima ʻo ʻEhapi ke tāmateʻi au?
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.
Hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻikai ha fonua pe ha puleʻanga kuo ʻikai fekau atu ki ai ʻe heʻeku ʻeiki ko hoʻo kumi: pea ʻi he ʻenau pehē, ʻOku ʻikai ʻi heni ia; naʻa ne maʻu ha fuakava mei he fonua mo e puleʻanga, ʻo pehē, naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo koe.
11 And now thou sayest, Goe, tell thy lorde, Beholde, Eliiah is here.
Ka kuo ke pehē ʻeni, ‘ʻAlu, ʻo tala ki hoʻo ʻeiki, Ko ʻIlaisiā eni.’
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.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, kau ka ʻalu leva meiate koe, ʻe ʻave koe ʻe he Laumālie ʻo Sihova ki ha potu ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi; pea ʻi heʻeku fakahā kia ʻEhapi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke ne ʻilo koe, te ne tāmateʻi au: ka ʻoku manavahē ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko au kia Sihova talu mei heʻeku kei siʻi.
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?
ʻIkai kuo fakahā ki heʻeku ʻeiki ʻaia naʻaku fai ʻi heʻene tāmateʻi ʻe Sisipeli ʻae kau palōfita ʻa Sihova, ʻa ʻeku fufū ha toko teau ʻoe kau palōfita ʻa Sihova ʻo taki nimangofulu ʻi ha ʻana, mo fafanga ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae mā mo e vai?
14 And now thou sayest, Go, tel thy lord, Behold, Eliiah is here, that he may slay me.
Pea ʻoku ke pehē mai ni, ‘ʻAlu, ʻo tala ki hoʻo ʻeiki, Vakai, ko ʻIlaisiā eni: pea te ne tāmateʻi au.’”
15 And Eliiah said, As the Lord of hostes liueth, before whome I stand, I will surely shewe my selfe vnto him this day.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi, ʻaia ʻoku ou tuʻu ʻi hono ʻao, pea ko e moʻoni te u fakahā au kiate ia he ʻaho ni.”
16 So Obadiah went to meete Ahab, and tolde him: And Ahab went to meete Eliiah.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa ʻOpataia ke fetaulaki mo ʻEhapi, ʻo ne tala ki ai: pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻEhapi ke fakafetaulaki atu kia ʻIlaisiā.
17 And when Ahab saw Eliiah, Ahab said vnto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene mamata ʻa ʻEhapi kia ʻIlaisiā, naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEhapi kiate ia, “Ko koe ia koā kuo fakamamahi ai ʻa ʻIsileli?”
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.
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “Kuo ʻikai te u fakamamahiʻi ʻa ʻIsileli; ka ko koe, mo e fale ʻo hoʻo tamai, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou liʻaki ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihova, pea kuo ke muimui kia Peali.”
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.
Pea ko eni fekau atu, “Ke tānaki mai kiate au ʻi Kameli ʻa ʻIsileli kātoa, pea mo e kau kikite ʻo Peali ko e toko fāngeau mo e toko nimangofulu, pea mo e kau kikite ʻoe ngaahi vao tapu ko e toko fāngeau, ʻakinautolu ʻoku kai ʻi he keinangaʻanga ʻo Sisipeli.”
20 So Ahab sent vnto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together vnto mount Carmel.
Ko ia naʻe fekau atu ʻe ʻEhapi ki he fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli, pea naʻa ne fakataha mai ʻae kau kikite kotoa pē ki he moʻunga ko Kameli.
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.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa ʻIlaisiā ki he kakai kotoa pē, mo ne pehē, “ʻE fēfē ʻa hono fuoloa ʻo hoʻomou lotolotoua? Kapau ko e ʻOtua ʻa Sihova, mou muimui kiate ia: pea kapau ko Peali, muimui kiate ia.” Pea naʻe ʻikai toe lea ʻaki mai ʻe he kakai ha momoʻi lea ʻe taha.
22 Then said Eliiah vnto the people, I onely remayne a Prophet of the Lord: but Baals prophets are foure hundreth and fiftie men.
Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā ki he kakai, “Ko au tokotaha pe ʻoku toe ko e palōfita ʻa Sihova; ka ko e kau kikite ʻa Peali ko e kau tangata ʻe toko fāngeau mo e nimangofulu.
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.
Ko ia tuku ke nau ʻomi kiate kitautolu ha fanga pulu ʻe ua; pea tuku ke nau fili ha pulu ʻe taha maʻanautolu, pea tafatafaʻi ia pea hili ia ki he fefie, kaeʻoua naʻa ʻai ha afi ki lalo: pea te u teuteuʻi ʻeau ʻae pulu ʻe taha, pea hili ia ki ha fefie, kae ʻikai ha afi ki ai
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.
Pea mou ui kimoutolu ki he hingoa ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi ʻotua, pea teu ui au ki he huafa ʻo Sihova: pea ko e ʻOtua ko ia ʻoku tali ʻaki ha afi, ko e ʻOtua pe ia.” Pea naʻe tali ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, ʻonau pehē, “ʻOku lelei ʻae lea.”
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā ki he kau kikite ʻa Peali, “Mou fili ha pulu maʻamoutolu, pea tomuʻa teuteu ia; he ʻoku mou tokolahi; pea mou ui ki he hingoa ʻo homou ngaahi ʻotua, kaeʻoua naʻa ʻai ha afi ki ai.”
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.
Pea naʻa nau ʻave ʻae pulu naʻe ʻange kiate kinautolu ʻonau teuteuʻi, mo nau ui ki he hingoa ʻo Peali mei he pongipongi ʻo aʻu ki heʻene hoʻatāmālie, ʻo pehē, “ʻE Peali, fanongo mai kiate kimautolu.” Ka naʻe ʻikai ha leʻo, pe ha taha ʻe lea mai. Pea naʻa nau fehōpoaki ʻi he ʻesifeilaulau naʻe ngaohi.
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.
Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki he hoʻatāmālie, naʻe manuki ʻe ʻIlaisiā kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne pehē, “Kalangaʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi: he ko e ʻotua; naʻa ʻoku ne fakalaulauloto, pe ʻoku ne ʻi ha potu kehe, pe kuo ne fai haʻane fononga, pe naʻa ʻoku ne mohe, kae ʻaonga ʻa hono fakaʻāʻi.”
28 And they cryed loude, and cut them selues as their maner was, with kniues and launcers, till the blood gushed out vpon them.
Pea naʻa nau kalanga mālohi, mo tafatafaʻi kinautolu, ʻo hangē ko ʻenau anga, ʻaki ʻae hele mo e ngaahi meʻa kini, kae puna mai ʻae toto kiate kinautolu.
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.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he pale ʻae laʻā, mo nau kikite ai pe ʻo aʻu ki he feituʻulaʻā ʻoe feilaulau efiafi, naʻe ʻikai ha leʻo, pe ha taha ke lea, pe ha taha ke tokangaʻi.
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā ki he kakai kotoa pē, “Mou ʻunuʻunu mai kiate au.” Pea naʻe ʻunuʻunu mai kiate ia ʻae kakai kotoa pē. Pea naʻa ne teuteu foʻou ʻae ʻesifeilaulau ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻe maumau hifo.
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)
Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe ʻIlaisiā ʻae foʻi maka ʻe hongofulu ma ua, ʻo fakatatau mo e fiha ʻoe faʻahinga ʻoe fānau ʻa Sēkope, ʻaia naʻe hoko mai ki ai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē, “ʻE fakahingoa, koe ko ʻIsileli:”
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.
Pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi maka ha feilaulauʻanga ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova: pea naʻa ne ngaohi ha luo naʻe keli takatakai ʻi he feilaulauʻanga, naʻe tatau ʻa hono lahi mo e fonu ʻoe fuaʻanga ʻe ua ʻoe tengaʻi ʻakau.
33 And he put the wood in order, and hewed the bullocke in pieces, and layd him on the wood,
Pea naʻa ne fakatokalelei ʻae fefie, mo ne tafatafaʻi ʻae pulu, ʻo ne hili ia ki he fefie, mo ne pehē, “Fakafonu mai ha puha ʻe fā ʻaki ʻae vai, pea lilingi ia ki he feilaulau tutu, pea ki he fefie.”
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.
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Toe fai ia ke liunga ua.” Pea naʻa nau fai ia ko hono liunga ua. Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Fai ia ko hono liunga tolu. Pea naʻa nau fai ia ko hono liunga tolu.”
35 And the water ran round about the altar: and he filled the ditch with water also.
Pea naʻe tafe takatakai ʻae vai ʻi he feilaulauʻanga; pea naʻa ne fakafonu foki ʻae luo ʻaki ʻae vai.
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.
Pea ʻi heʻene hokosia ʻae feituʻulaʻā ʻoe feilaulau fakaefiafi, naʻe ʻunuʻunu mai ʻa ʻIlaisiā ko e palōfita, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, pea mo e ʻaho ni ko e ʻOtua koe ʻi ʻIsileli, pea ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki au, pea mo ʻeku fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē ʻi hoʻo fekau.
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.
ʻE Sihova, fanongo mai kiate au, koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he kakai ni ko Sihova koe ko e ʻOtua, pea kuo ke toe liliu mai ʻe koe ʻa honau loto.”
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.
Pea naʻe toki tō hifo ai ʻae afi ʻa Sihova, ʻo ne keina ʻae feilaulau tutu, mo e fefie, mo e ngaahi maka, mo e efu, pea ne ʻemo hake ʻae vai ʻaia naʻe ʻi he luo.
39 And when all the people sawe it, they fell on their faces, and saide, The Lord is God, the Lord is God.
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻae kakai ki ai, naʻa nau tō hifo ki honau mata: pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ko Sihova, ko e ʻOtua pe ia; ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua pe ia.”
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.
Naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā kiate kinautolu, “Puke mai ʻae kau kikite ʻa Peali; ʻoua naʻa tuku ke hao hanau tokotaha.” Pea naʻa nau puke ʻakinautolu: pea naʻe ʻohifo kinautolu ʻe ʻIlaisiā ki he vaitafe ko Kisoni, mo ne tāmateʻi kinautolu ʻi ai.
41 And Eliiah sayde vnto Ahab, Get thee vp, eate and drinke, for there is a sound of much rayne.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā kia ʻEhapi, “Ke ke tuʻu hake, mo ke kai mo inu; he ʻoku longolongo ʻuha lahi ʻaupito.”
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,
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa ʻEhapi ke ne kai mo inu. Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa ʻIlaisiā ki he tumutumu ʻo Kameli; pea naʻa ne fakato hifo ia ki he kelekele, pea ne ʻai hono mata ki hono vahaʻa tui,
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.
Pea pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, “ʻAlu hake eni ʻo sio atu ki tahi.” Pea naʻa ne ʻalu hake, mo ne sio, pea ne pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ha meʻa.” Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Ke ke toe ʻalu ke liunga fitu.”
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.
Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki hono liunga fitu, naʻa ne pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku ha hake mei he tahi ha kihiʻi ʻao siʻi, ʻoku hangē ko e nima ʻoe tangata.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ke ke ʻalu hake, ʻo tala kia ʻEhapi, Teuteu hoʻo saliote, pea ke ʻalu hifo, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa taʻofi koe ʻe he ʻuha.”
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.
Pea lolotonga eni, naʻe fakapoʻupoʻuli ʻae langi ʻi he ngaahi ʻao mo e matangi, pea naʻe tō ʻae ʻuha lahi ʻaupito. Pea naʻe heka ʻa ʻEhapi, ʻo ne ʻalu ki Sesilili.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻia ʻIlaisiā ʻae nima ʻo Sihova; pea naʻa ne hukihuki ʻa hono vala, mo ne lele muʻomuʻa ʻia ʻEhapi ʻo aʻu ki he hūʻanga ʻo Sesilili.
