1 Kings 18
1 And it lasted many days, when the word of the Lord came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, show thyself unto Achab; and I will give rain upon the face of the earth.
Tukun yac aktolu ma wanginla af, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Elijah, “Fahla nu ye mutal Tokosra Ahab, ac nga fah supwama af.”
2 And Elijah went to show himself unto Achab; and the famine was grievous in Samaria.
Na Elijah el mukuiyak ac som. Sracl in acn Samaria upa na pwaye.
3 And Achab called 'Obadiah, who was the superintendent of the house; —(now 'Obadiah feared the Lord greatly;
Ouinge Ahab el solalma Obadiah, su mwet kol fin mwet karingin inkul fulat sin tokosra. (Obadiah el sie mwet su akfulatye LEUM GOD ke inse pwaye.
4 And it happened, when Izebel cut off the prophets of the Lord, that 'Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them fifty each in one cave, and provided them with bread and water; )
Ke Jezebel el mutawauk in uniya mwet palu lun LEUM GOD, Obadiah el okanla siofok selos in luf luo, kais lumngaul ke luf se, ac kitalos mwe mongo ac mwe nim.)
5 And Achab said unto 'Obadiah, Go through the land, unto all the springs of water, and unto all the brooks, peradventure we may find grass and keep alive horse and mule, that we lose not all the cattle.
Ahab el fahk nu sel Obadiah, “Nga kom som rauneak acn uh kewa, suk lah oasr mah ke infacl srisrik ac unon in kof ma ac fal in kite kosro horse ac miul natusr, tuc elos in moulla ac tia misa. Kut fin konauk, na kut tia enenu in uniya kosro natusr inge.”
6 So they divided between them the land to pass through it: Achab went one way by himself alone, and 'Obadiah went another way by himself alone.
Eltal insesela ke acn kais sie seltal ac fahsr nu we, na eltal fahsrelik.
7 And as 'Obadiah was on the way, behold, Elijah came toward him; and he recognized him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou here indeed, my Lord Elijah?
Ke Obadiah el fahla, el sa na sonol Elijah. El akilenulak, ac faksufi ye mutal ac siyuk, “Ya pwayena lah kom pa ingan, Elijah?”
8 And he said unto him, I am: go, say unto thy Lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
Elijah el topuk, “Aok, nga. Fahla fahkang nu sin leum lom lah nga oasr inge.”
9 And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldst deliver thy servant into the hand of Achab, to slay me?
Obadiah el fahk, “Ma koluk fuka nga orala, ku kom in kena eisyuyang nu inpaol Tokosra Ahab elan uniyuwi?
10 As the Lord thy God liveth, there is not a nation or kingdom whither my Lord hath not sent to seek thee; and when they said, He is not here: he caused that kingdom and nation to take an oath, that no one could find thee.
Ke Inen LEUM GOD lom, God moul, nga fulahk lah tokosra el orala sukok se lal keim in acn nukewa fin faclu. Kutena pacl leum lun sie facl fin fahk mu kom wangin in facl sel uh, na Ahab el ac sap leum sac in fulahk lah tia ku in koneyukyak kom we.
11 And now thou sayest, Go, say unto thy Lord, Behold, here is Elijah.
Ac inge kom lungse ngan som fahk lah kom oasr inge?
12 And it may come to pass, that, when I go from thee, the spirit of the Lord may carry thee whither I know not; and when I come to inform Achab, and he cannot find thee, he will slay me; but I thy servant have feared the Lord from my youth.
Ac nga fin tufahna fahla, na Ngun lun LEUM GOD lom el uskomla nu ke sie acn nga tia etu, na ke nga ac fahk nu sel Ahab mu kom oasr inge, ac el fin tia konekomyak, na el ac sap in anwuki nga. Esam na lah nga nuna akfulatye LEUM GOD ke inse pwaye oe ke nga tulik ah me.
13 Hath it not been told unto my Lord what I did when Izebel slew the prophets of the Lord, how I hid a hundred men of the prophets of the Lord, fifty each in one cave, and provided them with bread and water?
Ya kom tiana lohng lah ke Jezebel el mutawauk in uniya mwet palu lun LEUM GOD, nga tuh okanla mwet siofok selos in luf luo, kais lumngaul ke luf se, ac kitalos mwe mongo ac mwe nim?
14 And now thou sayest, Go say to thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here: and he will slay me.
Na efu ku kom supweyu ngan som fahk nu sel tokosra lah kom oasr inge? El ac uniyuwi!”
15 Then said Elijah, As the Lord of hosts liveth, before whom I have stood, surely today will I show myself unto him.
Elijah el fahk, “Ke Inen LEUM GOD moul ac Kulana su nga kulansupu, nga wulela lah nga ac som sonol tokosra misenge.”
16 So 'Ohadiah went to meet Achab, and he told it to him; and Achab went to meet Elijah.
Ouinge Obadiah el som nu yorol Tokosra Ahab ac fahkang nu sel, ac Ahab el tuyak ac som in sonol Elijah.
17 And it came to pass, when Achab saw Elijah, that Achab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
Ke Ahab el liyalak el fahk, “Kom pa ingan, mwet se ma orek lokoalok yohk emeet in Israel!”
18 And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, through your forsaking the commandments of the Lord, and because thou hast followed the Be'alim.
Ac Elijah el fahk, “Tia nga pa orek lokoalok — kom ac papa tomom. Kom seakos ma sap lun LEUM GOD, ac alu nu ke ma sruloala puspis kacl Baal.
19 And now send, assemble unto me all Israel at Mount Carmel, and the prophets of Ba'al four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the grove four hundred, who eat at the table of Izebel.
Inge, kom pangonma mwet Israel nukewa in osun nu sik Fineol Carmel. Use mwet palu angfoko lumngaul lun Baal, ac mwet palu angfoko lun god mutan Asherah, su Kasra Jezebel el kasru.”
20 And Achab sent round among all the children of Israel, and he assembled the prophets at Mount Carmel.
Ouinge Ahab el pangon mwet Israel nukewa ac mwet palu lun Baal in fahsreni nu Fineol Carmel.
21 And Elijah approached unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between the two opinions? if the Lord be the God, follow him; and if Ba'al—follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
Elijah el utyak nu yurin mwet uh ac fahk, “Kowos ac tia orala sulela lowos an nwe ngac? Fin LEUM GOD pa God, na kowos alu nu sel, a fin Baal, kowos alu nu sel!” Na mwet uh tiana kas.
22 And Elijah said unto the people, I have been left a prophet of the Lord by myself alone; but the prophets of Ba'al are four hundred and fifty men.
Na Elijah el fahk, “Nga mukena pa lula sin mwet palu lun LEUM GOD, a oasr mwet palu angfoko lumngaul lal Baal.
23 Therefore let there be given unto us two bullocks; and let them choose for themselves the one bullock, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire to it: and I will prepare the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire to it.
Use lukwa cow mukul an. Mwet palu lal Baal in eis soko, uniya ac sipsipikya, ac filiya fin etong an, tusruktu nimet akosak. Ac ma soko ngia, nga ac oru oapana.
24 And do ye call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the Lord: and it shall be that the God who answereth by fire, he shall be the [true] God. And all the people answered and said, The proposal is good.
Na lela mwet palu lal Baal in pre nu sin god lalos, ac nga fah pre nu sin LEUM GOD, ac el su topuk ac supwama e, el pa God pwaye.” Na mwet uh arulana insese nu kac.
25 And Elijah said unto the prophets of Ba'al, Choose you for yourselves the one bullock, and prepare it first; for ye are the many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire to it.
Na Elijah el fahk nu sin mwet palu lal Baal, “Ke kowos arulana pukanten uh, kowos eis soko sin cow an ac akoela meet. Pre nu sin god lowos an, tusruktu nimet sang e nu kac.”
26 And they took the bullock which he had given to them, and they prepared it; and they called on the name of Ba'al from morning even until noon, saying, O Ba'al, answer us; but there was no voice, nor any answer: and they danced about the altar which had been made.
Elos eis cow soko ma utuku nu selos, ac akoela ac pre nu sel Baal nwe ke infulwen len. Elos wowoyak ac fahk, “Baal, topuk kut!” Ac elos fohngfong na rauni loang se ma elos musaela, a tiana topukyuk pre lalos.
27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked at them, and said, Call with a loud voice; for he is a god; either he is holding council, or he is busy in some pursuit, or he is on a journey; or peradventure he sleepeth, and may thus awaken.
Ke sun infulwen len ah, Elijah el mutawauk in aksruksrukelos ac fahk, “Liksreni pre! El god se! El acnu muta ngetngetla nunak, ku el acnu fahla nu ke lohm fahsr ah, ku el acnu mutwata, ku el acnu motulla ac kowos enenu in oaksalak!”
28 And they called with a loud voice and cut themselves after their custom with knives and spears, till the blood gushed out over them.
Ouinge mwet palu inge elos wowoyak pre, ac sipik manolos ke mitmit lulap ac mitmit srisrik fal nu ke lia lalos, nwe ke elos srahfon.
29 And it came to pass, when midday was past, that they practised their follies until near [the time of] the offering of the evening-sacrifice; but there was neither voice, nor any answer, nor any perceptible sound.
Elos wowo ac fohngfong nwe sun tafun len tok; tuh wanginna topken pre lalos, ac wanginna pusra lohngyuk.
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 had been torn down.
Na Elijah el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Kowos kilukeni nu yuruk,” ac elos nukewa kilukeni raunella. El mutawauk akwoyela loang lun LEUM GOD ma tuh kunausyukla.
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 was come, saying, Israel shall be thy name.
El eis eot singoul luo, fal nu ke pisen sruf ma ekin inen tulik natul Jacob, mwet se ma LEUM GOD El tuh sang inel Israel.
32 And he built of the stones an altar in the name of the Lord; and he made a trench as great as would contain two seahs of seed round about the altar.
El sang eot inge in sifil musaela loang se mwe alu nu sin LEUM GOD. El pukanak laf soko raunela loang sac, su lupa uh ku in nwanak sunun gallon akosr ke kof.
33 And he put in order the wood, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid them on the wood,
Na el takunla etong uh fin loang sac, ac sipsipikya cow soko ah, ac likiya fin etong uh, ac fahk, “Nwakla sufa akosr ke kof ac ukuiya fin mwe kisa ac etong uh.” Na elos orala.
34 And he said. Fill four jars with water; and they had to 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.
Ac el fahk, “Sulpa,” ac elos sifilpa fwela. “Sulpa sie,” na elos sifilpa fwela pacl se aktolu.
35 And the water ran round about the altar; and the trench also he filled with water.
Na kof ah asrla ke loang ah twe nwakla laf soko ah.
36 And it came to pass, at [the time of] the offering of the evening-sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, O Lord, God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, this day let it be known that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that at thy word I have done all these things.
Ke sun pacl in orek kisa ke tafun len tok, Elijah mwet palu el kilukyang nu ke loang sac ac pre ac fahk, “O LEUM GOD, God lal Abraham, Isaac, ac Jacob, akpwayei inge lah kom pa LEUM GOD lun Israel, ac lah nga mwet kulansap lom su orala ma inge nukewa ke sap lom.
37 Answer me, O Lord, answer me, and let all this people know that thou, O Lord, art the [true] God, and thou wilt [then] have turned their heart back again.
Topukyu, LEUM GOD. Topukyu, tuh mwet inge in etu lah kom, LEUM GOD, pa God, ac etu pac lah kom furokla nunkalos nu sum.”
38 And there fell a fire of the Lord, and consumed the burnt-offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust; and the water also that was in the trench did it lick up.
LEUM GOD El supweya e, ac esukak mwe kisa, etong uh, eot uh, infohk uh, ac akpaoyela kof in laf soko ah.
39 And when all the people saw this, they fell on their faces; and they said, the Lord—he is the God; the Lord—he is the God.
Ke mwet uh liye ma inge, elos putati nu infohk uh ac fahk, “LEUM GOD El God. El mukena pa God!”
40 And Elijah said unto them, Seize the prophets of Ba'al; not one of them must escape; and they seized them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slaughtered them there.
Elijah el sap ke ku, “Sruokya mwet palu lal Baal! Nimet lela kutena selos in kaingla.” Ac mwet uh sruokolosi nufon, ac Elijah el pwanulosi nu ke Infacl srisrik Kishon, ac onelosla we.
41 And Elijah said unto Achab, Go up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.
Na Elijah el fahk nu sel Tokosra Ahab, “Inge som ac mongoi. Pusren af na matol pa kahkme nga lohng uh.”
42 So Achab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down toward the earth, and put his face between his knees;
Ke Ahab el som in mongo, Elijah el fanyak nu fin mangon eol Carmel, ac el pasrla nwe ke intwel.
43 And he said to his servant, Go up, I pray thee, look in the direction of the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, Not the least [is visible]. And he said, Go again, seven times.
El fahk nu sin mwet kulansap lal, “Fahla ac ngetla nu meoa.” Mwet kulansap se lal ah som ac ke el foloko el fahk, “Wanginna ma nga liyauk.” Pacl itkosr pa Elijah el supwal elan som liye.
44 And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there is a little cloud like a man's hand arising out of the sea. And he said, Go up, say unto Achab, Harness up [thy chariot], and come down, that the rain may not detain thee.
Ke pacl se akitkosr el foloko ac fahk, “Nga liyauk kitin pukunyeng fin kof uh, lupanna inpoun mwet se.” Elijah el sifil fahk nu sin mwet kulansap se lal ah, “Fahla ac fahk nu sel Tokosra Ahab elan sroang nu fin chariot natul ah, ac folokla nu yen sel meet liki af uh sruokilya.”
45 And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heavens were blackened with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Achab rode, and went to Yizre'el.
In kitin pacl ah na, acn lucng nukla ke pukunyeng sroalsroal, ac eng uh tuhyak, ac af na matol mutawauk in kahkla. Ahab el sroang nu fin chariot natul in folok nu Jezreel.
46 And the inspiration of the Lord came over Elijah, and he girded up his loins; and he ran before Achab up to the entrance of Yizre'el.
Ac ku lun LEUM GOD tuku nu facl Elijah. El losani nuknuk lal infulwal, ac kasrusr na meet lukel Ahab nwe ke na el sun acn Jezreel.
