1 Kings 19
1 And Ahab declares to Jezebel all that Elijah did, and all of how he slew all the prophets by the sword,
Pea naʻe fakahā ʻe ʻEhapi kia Sisipeli ʻae meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe ʻIlaisiā, pea mo ʻene tāmate ʻae kau kikite kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae heletā.
2 and Jezebel sends a messenger to Elijah, saying, “Thus the gods do, and thus do they add—surely about this time tomorrow, I make your life as the life of one of them.”
Pea naʻe toki fekau atu ha talafekau ʻe Sisipeli kia ʻIlaisiā, ke ne pehē, “Ke fai pehē pe kiate au ʻe he ngaahi ʻotua, pea lahi hake foki, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te u fakatatau ʻa hoʻo moʻui ʻaʻau mo e moʻui ʻa ha taha ʻiate kinautolu, ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ni ʻapongipongi.”
3 And he fears, and rises, and goes for his life, and comes to Beer-Sheba, that [is] Judah’s, and leaves his young man there,
Pea ʻi heʻene mamata ki ai, naʻa ne tuʻu hake, mo ne hola ke ne moʻui, pea ne haʻu ki Peasipa ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Siuta, ʻo ne tuku ʻi ai ʻa ʻene tamaioʻeiki.
4 and he himself has gone a day’s journey into the wilderness, and comes and sits under a certain broom tree, and desires his soul to die, and says, “Enough, now, O YHWH, take my soul, for I [am] not better than my fathers.”
Ka ka ʻalu pe ia ki he toafa ko e fonongaʻanga ʻoe ʻaho ʻe taha, pea ne haʻu ʻo nofo hifo ʻi he lolo ʻakau ko e sunipa: pea naʻa ne kole maʻana ke ne mate; ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo lahi, ʻE Sihova, toʻo atu eni ʻa ʻeku moʻui: he ʻoku ʻikai te u lelei lahi hake au ʻi heʻeku ngaahi tamai.”
5 And he lies down and sleeps under a certain broom tree, and behold, a messenger is reaching toward him and says to him, “Rise, eat”;
Pea lolotonga ʻa ʻene tokoto ʻo mohe ʻi he lolo ʻakau ko e sunipa, vakai, naʻe toki ala kiate ia ha ʻāngelo, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Tuʻu hake, ʻo kai.”
6 and he looks attentively, and behold, at his bolster [is] a cake [on] burning stones, and a dish of water, and he eats, and drinks, and turns, and lies down.
Pea naʻa ne sio, pea vakai, ko e foʻi mā naʻe tunu ʻi he funga fefie, pea tuʻu ofi ha ipu vai ki hono ʻolunga. “Pea naʻa ne kai mo inu, pea toe tokoto ia ki lalo.”
7 And the messenger of YHWH turns back a second time, and is reaching toward him, and says, “Rise, eat, for the way is too great for you”;
Pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻae ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova ko hono liunga ua, ʻo ala kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “Tuʻu hake ʻo kai; he ʻoku lōloa fau ʻae hala kiate koe.”
8 and he rises, and eats, and drinks, and goes in the power of that food [for] forty days and forty nights, to the mountain of God—Horeb.
Pea naʻa ne tuʻu hake, mo ne kai mo inu, pea naʻa ne ʻalu ʻi he mālohi ʻoe meʻakai ko ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu mo e pō ʻe fāngofulu ki Holepi ko e moʻunga ʻoe ʻOtua.
9 And he comes in there, to the cave, and lodges there, and behold, the word of YHWH [is] to him, and says to him, “What are you [doing] here, Elijah?”
Pea naʻa ne ʻomi ai ki ha ʻanaʻi maka, ʻo ne nofo ai; pea vakai naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia, pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke fai ʻi heni, ʻIlaisiā?”
10 And he says, “I have been very zealous for YHWH, God of Hosts, for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant—they have thrown down Your altars, and they have slain Your prophets by the sword, and I am left, I, by myself, and they seek my life—to take it.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Naʻaku loto feinga ʻaupito koeʻuhi ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi: he kuo liʻaki hoʻo fuakava ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea kuo lī hifo hoʻo ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, pea nau tāmateʻi ʻa hoʻo kau palōfita ʻaki ʻae heletā; pea ko au, ʻio, ko au tokotaha pe ʻoku toe; pea ʻoku nau kumi ʻa ʻeku moʻui, ke toʻo atu ia.”
11 And He says, “Go out, and you have stood on the mountain before YHWH.” And behold, YHWH is passing by, and a wind—great and strong—is tearing mountains, and shattering rocks before YHWH, [but] YHWH [is] not in the wind; and after the wind [is] a shaking, [but] YHWH [is] not in the shaking;
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ke ke ʻalu atu, mo ke tuʻu ʻi he funga moʻunga ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova. Pea vakai, naʻe hāʻele atu ʻa Sihova, pea naʻe mafahifahi ʻae moʻunga ʻe he matangi mālohi, pea ne fakamomomomoiiki ʻae ngaahi maka ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; ka naʻe ʻikai ʻi he matangi ʻa Sihova: pea hili ʻae matangi naʻe mofuike; ka naʻe ʻikai ʻi he mofuike ʻa Sihova:
12 and after the shaking [is] a fire, [but] YHWH [is] not in the fire; and after the fire [is] a voice [like] a small whisper;
Pea hili ʻae mofuike ko e afi; ka naʻe ʻikai ʻi he afi ʻa Sihova: pea hili ʻae afi naʻe ʻi ai ʻae kihiʻi leʻo mālie.”
13 and it comes to pass, at Elijah’s hearing [it], that he wraps his face in his robe, and goes out, and stands at the opening of the cave, and behold, a voice [speaks] to him, and it says, “What are you [doing] here, Elijah?”
Pea pehē, ʻi heʻene fanongo ki ai ʻa ʻIlaisiā, naʻa ne fakapulou hono mata ʻaki ʻa hono pulupulu, mo ne ʻalu atu ʻo tuʻu ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe ʻana. Pea vakai, ko e leʻo naʻe pehē mai kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke fai ʻi heni ʻIlaisiā?”
14 And he says, “I have been very zealous for YHWH, God of Hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, they have thrown down Your altars, and they have slain Your prophets by the sword, and I am left, I, by myself, and they seek my life—to take it.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Naʻaku loto feinga ʻaupito koeʻuhi ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi: koeʻuhi kuo liʻaki hoʻo fuakava ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea kuo lī hifo hoʻo ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, pea tāmateʻi hoʻo kau palōfita ʻaki ʻae heletā; pea ko au, ʻio, ko au tokotaha pe ʻoku kei toe; pea ʻoku nau kumi ʻa ʻeku moʻui, ke toʻo atu ia.”
15 And YHWH says to him, “Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus, and you have gone in, and anointed Hazael for king over Aram,
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, “Ke ke ʻalu, toe foki atu ʻi ho hala ki he toafa ʻo Tamasikusi; pea ʻoka ke ka hoko ange, tākai ʻaki ʻae lolo ʻa Hasaeli ke ne tuʻi ʻi Silia:
16 and you anoint Jehu son of Nimshi for king over Israel, and you anoint Elisha son of Shaphat, of Abel-Meholah, for prophet in your stead.
Pea ko Sehu ko e foha ʻo Nimisi te ke tākai ʻaki ʻae lolo ke ne tuʻi ʻi ʻIsileli: pea ko ʻIlaisa ko e foha ʻo Safati mei ʻEpeli-Mihola, te ke tākai ʻaki ʻae lolo ke hoko ko e palōfita ke ne fetongi koe.
17 And it has been, he who has escaped from the sword of Hazael, Jehu puts to death, and he who has escaped from the sword of Jehu, Elisha puts to death;
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ‘Ko ia ia ʻe hao moʻui mei he heletā ʻa Hasaeli ʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻe Sehu: pea ko ia ʻe hao moʻui mei he heletā ʻa Sehu ʻe tāmateʻi ʻe ʻIlaisa.’
18 and I have left in Israel seven thousand—all the knees that have not bowed to Ba‘al, and every mouth that has not kissed him.”
Ka te u tuku ha toko fitu afe ʻapē kuo ʻikai mapelu kia Peali, pea mo e ngutu kotoa pē kuo ʻikai ʻuma kiate ia.”
19 And he goes there, and finds Elisha son of Shaphat, and he is plowing; twelve yoke [are] before him, and he [is] with the twelfth; and Elijah passes over to him, and casts his robe at him,
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ia mei he potu ko ia, mo ne maʻu atu ʻa ʻIlaisa ko e foha ʻo Safati, lolotonga ʻa ʻene keli ngoue ʻaki ʻae tauluaʻi [pulu ]ʻe hongofulu ma ua ʻi hono ʻao, ka naʻe tuʻu ia mo ia ki mui: pea naʻe ʻalu ange ʻa ʻIlaisiā ʻi hono tafaʻaki ʻo ne lī atu ʻa hono pulupulu kiate ia.
20 and he forsakes the ox, and runs after Elijah, and says, “Please let me give a kiss to my father and to my mother, and I go after you.” And he says to him, “Go, turn back, for what have I done to you?”
Pea naʻa ne tukuange ʻae fanga pulu, ka ka lele muimui ʻia ʻIlaisiā, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke u ʻuma ki heʻeku tamai pea mo ʻeku faʻē, pea te u toki muimui kiate koe.” Pea naʻa ne pehēange kiate ia, “Toe foki atu pe: he ko e hā ha meʻa kuo u fai kiate koe?”
21 And he turns back from after him, and takes the yoke of the ox, and sacrifices it, and with [the] instruments of the ox he has boiled its flesh, and gives to the people, and they eat, and he rises, and goes after Elijah, and serves him.
Pea naʻa ne toe foki atu meiate ia, mo ne ʻave ʻae tauluaʻi pulu, mo ne tāmateʻi ia, pea naʻa ne haka hona kakano ʻaki ʻae nāunau ʻoe fanga pulu, pea naʻa ne ʻatu ki he kakai ke nau kai. Pea hili ia naʻa ne tuʻu hake, mo ne muimui kia ʻIlaisiā, ʻo ne tauhi kiate ia.
