1 Kings 18
1 And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah, in the third year, saying: 'Go, show thyself unto Ahab, and I will send rain upon the land.'
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 Elijah went to show himself unto Ahab. And the famine was sore in Samaria.
Omiyo Elija nodhi monyisore ne Ahab. Koro kech ne lich ahinya e piny Samaria,
3 And Ahab called Obadiah, who was over the household. — Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly;
kendo Ahab noseluongo Obadia mane otelo ne dala ruoth maduongʼ. Obadia ne en ngʼat man-gi yie motegno kuom Jehova Nyasaye.
4 for it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them fifty in a cave, and 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 said unto Obadiah: 'Go through the land, unto all the springs of water, and unto all the brooks; peradventure we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.'
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 So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
Omiyo negipogo piny mane gi dhi wuothoe, ka Ahab ochomo konchiel to Obadia ochomo komachielo.
7 And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him; and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said: 'Is it thou, my lord Elijah?'
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: 'It is I; go, tell thy lord: Behold, Elijah is here.'
Elija to nodwoke niya, “Ee. Dhiyo inyis ruodhi ni, ‘Elija nika.’”
9 And he said: 'Wherein have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand 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 liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee; and when they said: He is not here, he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not.
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: Go, tell thy lord: Behold, Elijah is here.
To koro inyisa mondo adhi ir ruodha mondo anyise ni, ‘Elija ni ka.’
12 And it will come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the spirit of the LORD will carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he will slay me; but I thy servant fear 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 told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid a hundred men of the LORD'S prophets by fifty in a cave, 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, tell thy lord: Behold, Elijah is here; and he will slay me.'
To koro inyisa mondo adhi ir ruodha kendo awachne ni, ‘Elija ni ka.’ Donge ingʼeyo ni obiro nega!”
15 And Elijah said: 'As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself unto him to-day.'
Elija nodwoke niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, matiyone, ni adier kawuononi nyaka adhi e nyim Ahab.”
16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him; and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
Omiyo Obadia nodhi romo ne Ahab monyise ni Elija ni ka. Omiyo Ahab nodhi oromo ne Elija.
17 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him: 'Is it thou, thou troubler of Israel?'
Kane oneno Elija, nowachone niya, “Mano en in, jakel chandruok ni Israel-ni?”
18 And he answered: 'I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed the 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 unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the Asherah four hundred, that eat at Jezebel's 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 And Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.
Omiyo Ahab nooro wach e Israel duto mi nochoko jonabi ewi Got Karmel.
21 And Elijah came near unto all the people, and said: 'How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.' And the people answered him not a word.
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 Elijah unto the people: 'I, even I only, am left a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty 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 give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under; and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under.
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 And call ye on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the LORD; and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God.' And all the people answered and said: '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 Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal: 'Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under.'
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 And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying: 'O Baal, answer us.' But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they danced in halting wise about the altar which 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 it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said: 'Cry aloud; for he is a god; either he is musing, or he is gone aside, or he is in a journey, or peradventure 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 cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with swords and lances, till the blood gushed out upon them.
Omiyo negimedo kok matek mi gingʼolore gi ligangla kod tonge, kaka ne en timgi nyaka rembgi nomol.
29 And it was so, when midday was past, that they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening offering; but their was neither voice, nor any to answer, 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 Elijah said unto all the people: 'Come near unto me'; and all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was thrown down.
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 Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying: 'Israel shall be 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 built an altar in the name of the LORD; and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.
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 cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it 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 he said: 'Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt-offering, and on the wood.' 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.
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 trench also with water.
Pi nomol molworo kendo mar misango kendo nopongʼo kata mana okuta.
36 And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening offering, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said: 'O LORD, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of 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 at Thy word.
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 Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that Thou, LORD, art God, for Thou didst turn their heart backward.'
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-offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
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 saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said: 'The LORD, He is God; the LORD, He 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 unto them: 'Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape.' And they took them; and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew 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 Elijah said unto Ahab: 'Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain.'
Kendo Elija nowacho ni Ahab niya, “Dhi ichiem kendo imethi nikech nitie mor koth maduongʼ kawuono.”
42 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees.
Omiyo Ahab nodhi mochiemo kendo metho, to Elija noidho ewi Got Karmel mokulore piny kendo osoyo wiye e kind chonge.
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.'
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 it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said: 'Behold, there ariseth a cloud out of the sea, as small as a man's hand.' And he said: 'Go up, say unto Ahab: Make ready thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop 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 it came to pass in a little while, that the heaven grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.
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 Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
Teko Jehova Nyasaye nobiro kuom Elija kendo kokunjo kandhone ei okandane, noringo e nyim Ahab nyaka negichopo Jezreel.
