Kings III 18
1 And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the Lord came to Eliu in the third year, saying, Go, and appear before Achaab, and I will bring rain upon the face of 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 Eliu went to appear before Achaab: and the famine [was] severe in Samaria.
Omiyo Elija nodhi monyisore ne Ahab. Koro kech ne lich ahinya e piny Samaria,
3 And Achaab called Abdiu the steward. Now Abdiu 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 And it came to pass when Jezabel struck the prophets of the Lord, that Abdiu took a hundred prophets, and hid them by 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 Achaab said to Abdiu, Come, and let us go through the land, and to the fountains of water, and to the brooks, if by any means we may find grass, and may save the horses and mules, and so they will not perish from the tents.
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 they made a division of the way between them to pass through it: Achaab went one way, and Abdiu went by another way alone.
Omiyo negipogo piny mane gi dhi wuothoe, ka Ahab ochomo konchiel to Obadia ochomo komachielo.
7 And Abdiu was alone in the way; and Eliu came alone to meet him: and Abdiu hasted, and fell upon his face, and said, My lord Eliu, are you [indeed] he?
Kane Obadia wuotho, Elija noromo kode. Obadia nonene mongʼeye kendo nokulore nyaka e lowo mowacho niya, “Bende en in adier Elija ruodha?”
8 And Eliu said to him, I [am]: go say to your master, Behold, Eliu [is here].
Elija to nodwoke niya, “Ee. Dhiyo inyis ruodhi ni, ‘Elija nika.’”
9 And Abdiu said, What sin have I committed, that you give your servant into the hand of Achaab to kill me?
Obadia to nopenje niya, “En angʼo masetimo marach makoro omiyo ichiwo jatichni ni Ahab mondo onegi?
10 [As] the Lord your God lives, there is not a nation or kingdom, whither my lord has not sent to seek you; and if they said, He is not [here], then has he set fire to the kingdom and its territories, because he has not found you.
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 you say, Go, tell your lord, Behold, Eliu [is here].
To koro inyisa mondo adhi ir ruodha mondo anyise ni, ‘Elija ni ka.’
12 And it shall come to pass when I shall have departed from you, that the Spirit of the Lord shall carry you to a land which I know not, and I shall go in to tell the matter to Achaab, and he will not find you and will kill me: yet your servant fears the Lord from his 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 Has it not been told to you my lord, what I did when Jezabel killed the prophets of the Lord, that I hid a hundred men of the prophets of the Lord, 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 you say to me, Go, say to your master, Behold, Eliu [is here]: and he shall kill me.
To koro inyisa mondo adhi ir ruodha kendo awachne ni, ‘Elija ni ka.’ Donge ingʼeyo ni obiro nega!”
15 And Eliu said, [As] the Lord of Hosts before whom I stand lives, today I will appear before him.
Elija nodwoke niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, matiyone, ni adier kawuononi nyaka adhi e nyim Ahab.”
16 And Abdiu went to meet Achaab, and told him: and Achaab hasted forth, and went to meet Eliu.
Omiyo Obadia nodhi romo ne Ahab monyise ni Elija ni ka. Omiyo Ahab nodhi oromo ne Elija.
17 And it came to pass when Achaab saw Eliu, that Achaab said to Eliu, Are you he that perverts Israel?
Kane oneno Elija, nowachone niya, “Mano en in, jakel chandruok ni Israel-ni?”
18 And Eliu said, I do not pervert Israel; but it is you and your father's house, in that you forsake the Lord your God, and you have gone after Baalim.
Elija nodwoke niya, “Ok asekelo chandruok e Israel. To in gi odi ema isejwangʼo chike Jehova Nyasaye mi iluwo Baal.
19 And now send, gather to me all Israel to mount Carmel, and the prophets of shame four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, that eat [at] Jezabel'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 Achaab sent to all Israel, and gathered all the prophets to mount Carmel.
Omiyo Ahab nooro wach e Israel duto mi nochoko jonabi ewi Got Karmel.
21 And Eliu drew near to them all: and Eliu said to them, How long will you halt on both feet? if the Lord be God, follow him; but if Baal, follow him. And the people answered 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 And Eliu said to the people, I am left, the only one prophet of the Lord; and the prophets of Baal [are] four hundred and fifty men, and the prophets of the groves four hundred.
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 give us two oxen, and let them choose one for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire [on] the wood: and I will dress the other bullock, and put on no fire.
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 do you call loudly on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord my God, and it shall come to pass that the God who shall answer by fire, he [is] God. And all the people answered and said, The word which you have spoken [is] good.
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 Eliu said to the prophets of shame, Choose to yourselves one calf, and dress it first, for you [are] many; and call you on the name of your god; but apply no fire.
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 calf and dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning till noon, and said, hear us, O Baal, hear us. And there was no voice, neither was there hearing, and they ran up and down on the altar which they [had] 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 was noon, and Eliu the Thesbite mocked them, and said, Call with a loud voice, for he is a god; for he is meditating, or else perhaps he is engaged in business, or perhaps he is asleep, and is to 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 with a loud voice, and cut themselves according to their custom with knives and lancets until 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 they prophesied until the evening came; and it came to pass as it was the time of the offering of the sacrifice, that Eliu the Thesbite spoke to the prophets of the abominations, saying, Stand by for the present, and I will offer my sacrifice. And they stood aside and departed.
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 Eliu said to the people, Come near to me. And all the people came near to him.
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 Eliu took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of Israel, as the Lord spoke to him, saying, Israel shall be your 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 he built up the stones in the name of the Lord, and repaired the altar that had been broken down; and he made a trench that would hold two measures of seed round about the altar.
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 piled the cleft wood on the altar which he [had] made, and divided the whole burnt offering, and laid [it] on the wood, and laid [it] in order on the altar, and said, Fetch me four pitchers of water, and pour [it] on the whole burnt offering, and on the wood. And they did so.
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, 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 they filled the trench with water.
Pi nomol molworo kendo mar misango kendo nopongʼo kata mana okuta.
36 And Eliu cried aloud to the heaven, and said, Lord God of Abraam, and Isaac, and Israel, answer me, O Lord, answer me this day by fire, and let all this people know that you are the Lord, the God of Israel, and I [am] your servant, and for your sake I have wrought these works.
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, and let this people know that you are the Lord God, and you have turned back the heart of this people.
Dwoka, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, dwoka mondo jogi ongʼe ni in Nyasaye, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kendo ni iloko chunygi mondo oduog iri kendo.”
38 Then fire fell from the Lord out of heaven, and devoured the whole burnt offerings, and the wood and the water that was in the trench, and the fire licked up the stones and the earth.
Eka mach mar Jehova Nyasaye nolwar kendo nowangʼo misango gi yien gi kite kod lowo notwoyo pi mane nitie e bugo.
39 And all the people fell upon their faces, and said, Truly the Lord [is] God; he [is] God.
Kane ji duto oneno mano, negipodho auma mi giywak kagiwacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye e Nyasaye! Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasaye!”
40 And Eliu said to the people, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them; and Eliu brings them down to the brook Kisson, and he killed 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 Eliu said to Achaab, Go up, and eat and drink, for [there is] a sound of the coming of rain.
Kendo Elija nowacho ni Ahab niya, “Dhi ichiem kendo imethi nikech nitie mor koth maduongʼ kawuono.”
42 And Achaab went up to eat and to drink; and Eliu went up to Carmel, and stooped to the ground, 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 said to his servant, Go up, and look toward the sea. And the servant looked, and said, There is nothing: and Eliu said, Do you then 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 the servant went again seven times: and it came to pass at the seventh time, that, behold, a little cloud like the sole of a man's foot brought water; and he said, Go up, and say to Achaab, make ready your chariot, and go down, lest the rain overtake you.
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 the meanwhile, that the heaven grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Achaab wept, and went to Jezrael.
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] upon Eliu, and he girded up his loins, and ran before Achaab to Jezrael.
Teko Jehova Nyasaye nobiro kuom Elija kendo kokunjo kandhone ei okandane, noringo e nyim Ahab nyaka negichopo Jezreel.
