< 1 Kings 18 >

1 And it happened after many days that the word of the LORD came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, "Go, present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the earth."
Isu a kalpasan ti adu nga aldaw, immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Elias, iti maikatlo a tawen ti tikag a kunana, “Mapanka dumatag kenni Ahab ket iyegkonto iti tudo iti daga.”
2 So Elijah went to present himself to Ahab. And the famine was severe in Samaria.
Napan dimmatag ni Elias kenni Ahab; ita, nakaro unay ti panagbisin idiay Samaria.
3 And Ahab summoned Obadiah, the steward of the house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly.
Inayaban ni Ahab ni Abdias a mayordomo ti palasio. Ita, raraemen unay ni Abdias ni Yahweh,
4 And it came about, when Jezebel was killing the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took one hundred prophets and hid them, fifty by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)
ta idi patpatayn ni Jezebel dagiti profeta ni Yahweh, inkuyog ni Abdias ti sangagasut a profeta ket inlemmengna ida iti dua a kueba, limapulo a profeta ti inlemmengna iti tunggal kueba ket pinakanna ida iti tinapay ken danum.
5 And Ahab said to Obadiah, "Go through the land, to all the springs of water, and to all the wadis. Perhaps we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive, that we not lose all the animals."
Kinuna ni Ahab kenni Abdias, “Sursorenta ti daga, iti amin nga ubbog ken waig. Bareng makasarakta kadagiti ruot ken maispalta dagiti kabalio ken mulo, tapno saan a matay amin dagiti ayup.”
6 So they divided the land between them to explore it; Ahab went one way alone, and Obadiah went another way alone.
Nagnumoanda ngarud no ania a daga ti sursuren ti tunggal maysa kadakuada tapno agbirok iti danum ket nagsinada iti turongen.
7 And as Obadiah was on the way, look, Elijah met him; and he recognized him and fell on his face and said, "Is it you, my lord Elijah?"
Bayat nga adda ni Abdias iti dalan, nairana a nasabat isuna ni Elias. Nabigbig ni Abdias isuna ket nagrukob iti daga. Kinunana, “Sika kadi dayta, apok nga Elias?”
8 He answered him, "It is I. Go, tell your lord, 'Look, Elijah is here.'"
Simmungbat ni Elias kenkuana, “Siak. Mapanmo ibaga iti apom, 'Kitaem, adda ditoy ni Elias.'”
9 And he said, "How have I sinned, that you would deliver your servant into the hand of Ahab, to kill me?
Simmungbat ni Abdias, “Ania ti nagbasolak ta iyawatmo ti adipenmo iti ima ni Ahab, tapno patayennak?
10 As the LORD your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom, where my lord has not sent to seek you. When they said, 'He is not here,' he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they did not find you.
Iti nagan ni Yahweh a Diosmo nga adda iti agnanayon, awan ti nasion wenno pagarian a saan a nangibaonan ti apok kadagiti tattaona tapno birukendaka. Tunggal ibaga ti nasion wenno pagarian, ‘Awan ditoy ni Elias,' pagsapataen ida ni Ahab nga ikarida a saandaka a mabirukan.
11 Now you say, 'Go, tell your lord, "Look, Elijah is here."'
Ngem ita ibagam a, “Mapanka ket ibagam iti apom nga adda ditoy ni Elias.'
12 It will happen, as soon as I am gone from you, that the Spirit of the LORD will carry you I do not know where; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he can't find you, he will kill me. But I, your servant, have feared the LORD from my youth.
Apaman a makaadayoak kenka, ipannaka ti Espiritu ni Yahweh iti lugar a saanko nga ammo. Ket inton mapanko ibaga kenni Ahab, ket saannaka a mabirukan, patayennakto. Ngem siak nga adipenmo, dinaydayawko ni Yahweh manipud iti kinaagtutubok.
13 Wasn't it told my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of the LORD, how I hid one hundred men of the LORD's prophets, fifty by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?
Saan kadi a naibaga kenka apok, ti inaramidko idi pinatay ni Jezebel dagiti profeta ni Yahweh, no kasano nga inlemmengko ti sangagasut a profeta ni Yahweh babaen iti panangbingayko kadakuada iti saglilimapulo iti tunggal kueba ken pinakanko ida iti tinapay ken danum?
14 Now you say, 'Go, tell your lord, "Look, Elijah is here";' and he will kill me."
Ket ita ibagam, ‘Mapanka ket ibagam iti apom nga adda ditoy ni Elias,' tapno patayennak ni Ahab.”
15 Elijah said, "As the LORD of hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will surely present myself to him today."
Ket simmungbat ni Elias, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, a pagserserbiak, awan duadua a dumatagak kenni Ahab ita nga aldaw.”
16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him; and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
Isu a napan ni Abdias tapno sarakenna ni Ahab; imbagana kenni Ahab ti imbilin ni Elias kenkuana ket napan ni Ahab tapno sabatenna ni Elias.
17 It happened, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, "Is that you, you troubler of Israel?"
Idi nakita ni Ahab ni Elias, kinunana kenkuana, “Sika kadi dayta, sika a mangrirriribuk iti Israel?”
18 He answered, "I have not troubled Israel; but you, and your father's house, in that you have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and you have followed the Baals.
Simmungbat ni Elias, “Saanko a riniribuk ti Israel, ngem sika ken ti pamilia ti amam ti mangrirriribuk babaen iti panangtallikudyo kadagiti bilin ni Yahweh ken babaen iti panangsurotyo kadagiti Baal a didiosen.
19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel to Mount Carmel, and four hundred fifty of the prophets of Baal, and four hundred of the prophets of the Asherah, who eat at Jezebel's table."
Ita ngarud, mangibaonka iti mapan mangibaga ket ummungem ti entero nga Israel idiay Bantay Carmel iti sangoanak agraman dagiti uppat a gasut ket limapulo a profeta ni Baal ken ti uppat a gasut a profeta ni Asera a ti pangpangananda ket iti lamisaan ni Jezebel.”
20 So Ahab sent to all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together at Mount Carmel.
Isu a pinaayaban amin ni Ahab dagiti tattao iti Israel ket inummongda dagiti profeta idiay Bantay Carmel.
21 Elijah came near to all the people, and said, "How long will you keep limping between two positions? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him." But the people did not answer him a word.
Immasideg ni Elias kadagiti amin a tattao ket kinunana, “Kasano pay kabayag ti panagduaduayo? No ni Yahweh ti Dios, surotenyo isuna. Ngem no ni Baal ti Dios, surotenyo ngarud isuna.” Ngem saan a simmungbat kenkuana dagiti tattao.
22 Then Elijah said to the people, "I, even I only, am left a prophet of the LORD; but the prophets of Baal are four hundred and fifty men, and the prophets of Asherah four hundred.
Ket kinuna ni Elias kadagiti tattao, “Siak, siak laengen ti nabati a profeta ni Yahweh, ngem dagiti profeta ni Baal ket uppat a gasut ket lima pulo a tattao.
23 Let them therefore give us two bulls; and let them choose one bull for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under. And I will prepare the other bull, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under it.
Ipaayandakami ngarud iti dua a baka. Bay-anyo a mangpilida iti maysa a baka a para kadakuada ket partienda daytoy sada iparabaw kadagiti kayo, ngem saanda a pasgedan daytoy. Kalpasanna, partiek ti sabali pay a baka ket iparabawko iti kayo, ket saanko a pasgedan daytoy.
24 You call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the LORD, and the god who answers by fire, he is God." All the people answered, "It is well said."
Kalpasanna, umawagkayo iti nagan ti diosyo, ket umawagakto met iti nagan ni Yahweh, ket ti Dios a sumungbat babaen iti apuy, isuna ti Dios.” Isu a simmungbat amin dagiti tattao ket kinunada, “Nasayaat daytoy.”
25 Then Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, "Choose one bull for yourselves, and prepare it first, for you are the majority, and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under it."
Kinuna ngarud ni Elias kadagiti profeta ni Baal, “Mangpilikayo iti maysa a baka ket umunakayo a mangisagana iti daytoy, ta adukayo a tattao. Kalpasanna, umawagkayo iti nagan ti diosyo, ngem saanyo a pasgedan ti nakaiparabawan dagiti karne ti baka.”
26 And they took the bull which was given them, and they prepared it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, "Baal, answer us." But there was no voice, nor any who answered. And they limped about the altar they had made.
Innalada ti baka a naited kadakuada ket pinartida, ket immawagda iti nagan ni Baal manipud iti bigat agingga iti tengnga ti aldaw a kunkunada, “Baal, denggendakami.” Ngem awan ti timek, wenno siasinoman a simmungbat. Nagsalsalada iti aglawlaw ti altar nga inaramidda.
27 And it came about, at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, "Cry aloud, for he is a god. Maybe he is thinking about it, or he is busy, or he is on a trip, or perhaps he is sleeping and must be awakened."
Idi katengngaan ti aldaw, rinabak ida ni Elias ket kinunana, “Pigsaanyo ti umasug! Maysa isuna a dios! Nalabit nga agpanpanunot isuna, wenno agpabpabang-ar, wenno agdaldaliasat, wenno nalabit a matmaturog isuna a nasken a riingen.”
28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves, as was their custom, with swords and spears, until the blood gushed out on them.
Isu nga impigpigsada ti panagasugda ket sinugsugatda dagiti bagbagida a kas iti kadawyan nga ar-aramidenda babaen kadagiti kampilan ken gayang agingga a nagayus dagiti darada kadagiti bagbagida.
29 And when midday was past, they prophesied until the offering up of the offering; but there was no voice, no answer, and no response.
Limmabas ti katengngaan ti aldaw, ket umas-asugda latta agingga iti tiempo ti panagidaton iti pangrabii a daton, ngem awan ti timek wenno siasinoman a simmungbat; awan ti siasinoman a nangipangag kadagiti panagas-asugda.
30 Elijah said to all the people, "Come near to me"; and all the people came near to him. He repaired the altar of the LORD that had been torn down.
Ket kinuna ni Elias kadagiti amin a tattao, “Umasidegkayo kaniak,” ket immasideg kenkuana dagiti tattao. Ket tinarimaanna ti narba nga altar ni Yahweh.
31 Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the LORD came, saying, "Israel shall be your name."
Nangala ni Elias iti sangapulo ket dua a bato, ibagbagi ti tunggal bato dagiti sangapulo ket dua a tribu dagiti annak ni Jacob—ni Jacob ti immayan ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana, “Ti naganmonto ket Israel.”
32 And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD. And he made a trench around the altar, large enough to contain two seahs of seed.
Babaen kadagiti batbato, nangaramid isuna iti altar iti nagan ni Yahweh, ket nangkali isuna iti kanal iti lawlaw ti altar a makalaon iti sangapulo ket lima a litro ti bukbukel.
33 And he arranged the wood, and cut the bull in pieces, and laid it on the wood.
Ket inkabilna dagiti kayo a pagsungrod ken pinartina ti baka, ket imparabawna dagiti karne ti baka kadagiti kayo. Ket kinunana, “Punnoenyo dagiti uppat a karamba iti danum ket ibukbokyo iti mapuoran a daton ken iti kayo.”
34 And he said, "Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt offering, and on the wood." And they did so. And he said, "Do it a second time"; and they did it the second time. And he said, "Do it a third time"; and they did it the third time.
Ket kinunana, “Piduaenyo,” ket piniduada. Ket kinunana, “Maminsan pay,” ket inaramidda ti imbilinna nga aramidenda.
35 And the water ran around the altar; and he also filled the trench with water.
Nagayus ti danum iti likmut ti altar ket napno ti kanal.
36 It happened at the time of the offering up of the offering, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, "LORD, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your word.
Idi dumteng ti oras a panagidaton iti pangrabii a daton, immasideg ni Elias ket kinunana, “O Yahweh a Dios ni Abraham, ni Isaac, ken Israel, ipakaammom ita nga aldaw a sika ti Dios iti Israel, ken siak ti adipenmo, ken inaramidko amin dagitoy a banbanag nga imbilinmo.
37 Hear me, LORD, hear me, that this people may know that you, LORD, are God, and that you have turned their heart back again."
Denggennak, O Yahweh, denggennak, tapno maammoan dagitoy a tattao, a sika O Yahweh, ket Dios, ken insublim manen dagiti pusoda kenka.”
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.
Ket nagtinnag ti apuy ni Yahweh ket inkisapna ti daton a mapuoran, agraman dagiti kayo, dagiti batbato, ken ti tapok ken pinagmagana dagiti danum nga adda iti kanal.
39 And when all the people saw it, they fell facedown and said, "The LORD, he is God. The LORD, he is God."
Idi nakita dagiti amin a tattao daytoy, nagpaklebda ket kinunada, “Ni Yahweh ti Dios! Ni Yahweh ti Dios!”
40 And Elijah said to them, "Seize the prophets of Baal. Do not let one of them escape." And they seized them. And Elijah brought them down to the Wadi Kishon, and killed them there.
Isu a kinuna ni Elias kadakuada, “Tiliwenyo dagiti profeta ni Baal. Saanyo nga ipalubos nga adda uray maysa a makalibas kadakuada.” Innalada ngarud ida ket inyapan ni Elias dagiti profeta ni Baal iti waig ti Kison ket pinatayna ida sadiay.
41 And Elijah said to Ahab, "Get up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of a heavy rain."
Kinuna ni Elias kenni Ahab, “Tumakderka, manganka ken uminomka, ta mangngegko ti daranudor ti napigsa a tudo.”
42 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed himself down toward the ground, and put his face between his knees.
Isu a napan ni Ahab tapno mangan ken uminom. Ket simmang-at ni Elias iti tuktok ti Carmel, indumogna ti rupana iti nagbaetan dagiti tumengna.
43 And he said to his servant, "Go up now, look toward the sea." So he went up, and looked, and said, "There is nothing." Then he said, "Go again" seven times. And the servant went again seven times.
Kinuna ni Elias iti adipenna, “Sumang-atka ita, tannawagam ti baybay.” Simmang-at ti adipenna ket kimmita ket kinunana, “Awan pulos ti nakitak.” Isu a kinuna ni Elias, “Mapanka manen, iti maminpito a daras.”
44 It happened at the seventh time, that he said, "Look, a small cloud, like a man's hand, is rising out of the sea." He said, "Go up, tell Ahab, 'Get ready and go down, so that the rain doesn't stop you.'"
Iti maikapito a daras, kinuna ti adipen, “Kitaem, adda ulep nga agpangpangato manipud iti baybay, a kas iti kabassit ti dakulap ti maysa a tao.” Insungbat ni Elias, “Sumang-atka ket ibagam kenni Ahab, 'Isaganam ti karwahem ket sumalogkan sakbay a pasardengennaka ti tudo iti panagawidmo.'”
45 It happened in a little while, that the sky grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a heavy rain. Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.
Ket napasamak nga iti apagbiit, nanglangeb ti tangatang nga addaan kadagiti ulep ken angin, ket nagtudo iti napigsa. Limmugan ni Ahab ket napan idiay Jezreel,
46 The hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he tucked his cloak into his belt and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
ngem adda kenni Elias ti pannakabalin ni Yahweh. Binareksanna ti kagayna ket nagtaray agingga a naun-unaanna ni Ahab a dimmanon iti pagserkan ti Jezreel.
