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."
At nangyari, pagkaraan ng maraming araw, na ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating kay Elias, sa ikatlong taon, na nagsasabi, Ikaw ay yumaon, pakita ka kay Achab; at ako'y magpapaulan sa lupa.
2 So Elijah went to present himself to Ahab. And the famine was severe in Samaria.
At si Elias ay yumaon napakita kay Achab. At ang kagutom ay malala sa Samaria.
3 And Ahab summoned Obadiah, the steward of the house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly.
At tinawag ni Achab si Abdias na siyang katiwala sa bahay. (Si Abdias nga ay natatakot na mainam sa Panginoon:
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.)
Sapagka't nangyari, nang ihiwalay ni Jezabel ang mga propeta ng Panginoon, na kumuha si Abdias ng isang daang propeta, at ikinubli na limalimangpu sa isang yungib, at pinakain sila ng tinapay at tubig, )
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."
At sinabi ni Achab kay Abdias, Lakarin mo ang lupain, hanggang sa lahat ng mga bukal ng tubig, at hanggang sa lahat ng mga batis: marahil tayo'y makakasumpong ng damo, at maililigtas nating buhay ang mga kabayo at mga mula upang huwag tayong mawalan ng lahat na hayop.
6 So they divided the land between them to explore it; Ahab went one way alone, and Obadiah went another way alone.
Sa gayo'y pinaghati nila ang lupain sa gitna nila upang lakarin: si Achab ay lumakad ng kaniyang sarili sa isang daan, at si Abdias ay lumakad ng kaniyang sarili sa isang daan.
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?"
At samantalang si Abdias ay nasa daan, narito, nasalubong siya ni Elias: at nakilala niya siya, at nagpatirapa, at nagsabi, Di ba ikaw, ang panginoon kong si Elias?
8 He answered him, "It is I. Go, tell your lord, 'Look, Elijah is here.'"
At siya'y sumagot sa kaniya, Ako nga: ikaw ay yumaon, saysayin mo sa iyong panginoon, Narito, si Elias ay nandito.
9 And he said, "How have I sinned, that you would deliver your servant into the hand of Ahab, to kill me?
At kaniyang sinabi, Sa ano ako nagkasala na iyong ibibigay ang iyong lingkod sa kamay ni Achab, upang patayin ako?
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.
Buhay ang Panginoon mong Dios, walang bansa o kaharian man na hindi pinagpahanapan sa iyo ng aking panginoon: at pagka kanilang sinasabi, Siya'y wala rito, kaniyang pinasusumpa ang kaharian at bansa, na hindi kinasusumpungan sa iyo.
11 Now you say, 'Go, tell your lord, "Look, Elijah is here."'
At ngayo'y iyong sinasabi, Ikaw ay yumaon, saysayin mo sa iyong panginoon, Narito, si Elias ay nandito.
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.
At mangyayari, pagkahiwalay ko sa iyo na dadalhin ka ng Espiritu ng Panginoon sa hindi ko nalalaman; na anopa't pagka ako'y pumaroon at isinaysay ko kay Achab, at ikaw ay hindi niya nasumpungan, papatayin niya ako: nguni't akong iyong lingkod ay natatakot sa Panginoon mula sa aking pagkabinata.
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?
Hindi ba nasaysay sa aking panginoon, kung ano ang aking ginawa nang patayin ni Jezabel ang mga propeta ng Panginoon, kung paanong nagkubli ako ng isang daan sa mga propeta ng Panginoon, na limalimangpu sa isang yungib, at pinakain ko sila ng tinapay at tubig?
14 Now you say, 'Go, tell your lord, "Look, Elijah is here";' and he will kill me."
At ngayo'y iyong sinasabi, Ikaw ay yumaon, saysayin mo sa iyong panginoon. Narito, si Elias ay nandito; at papatayin niya ako.
15 Elijah said, "As the LORD of hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will surely present myself to him today."
At sinabi ni Elias, Buhay ang Panginoon ng mga hukbo, na sa harap niya'y nakatayo ako, ako'y walang salang pakikita sa kaniya ngayon.
16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him; and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
Sa gayo'y yumaon si Abdias upang salubungin si Achab, at sinaysay sa kaniya: at si Achab ay yumaon upang salubungin si Elias.
17 It happened, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, "Is that you, you troubler of Israel?"
At nangyari, nang makita ni Achab si Elias, na sinabi ni Achab sa kaniya, Di ba ikaw, ang mangbabagabag sa 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.
At siya'y sumagot, Hindi ko binagabag ang Israel; kundi ikaw, at ang sangbahayan ng iyong ama, sa inyong pagkapabaya ng mga utos ng Panginoon, at ikaw ay sumunod kay Baal.
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."
Ngayon nga'y magsugo ka, at pisanin mo sa akin ang buong Israel sa bundok ng Carmelo, at ang mga propeta ni Baal na apat na raan at limangpu, at ang mga propeta ni Asera na apat na raan, na nagsikain sa dulang ni Jezabel.
20 So Ahab sent to all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together at Mount Carmel.
Sa gayo'y nagsugo si Achab sa lahat ng mga anak ni Israel, at pinisan ang mga propeta sa bundok ng Carmelo.
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.
At si Elias ay lumapit sa buong bayan, at nagsabi, Hanggang kaylan kayo mangagaalinlangan sa dalawang isipan? kung ang Panginoon ay Dios, sumunod kayo sa kaniya: nguni't kung si Baal, sumunod nga kayo sa kaniya. At ang bayan ay hindi sumagot sa kaniya kahit isang salita.
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.
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Elias sa bayan, Ako, ako lamang, ang naiwang propeta ng Panginoon; nguni't ang mga propeta ni Baal ay apat na raan at limang pung lalake.
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.
Bigyan nga nila tayo ng dalawang baka; at pumili sila sa ganang kanila ng isang baka, at katayin, at ilagay sa ibabaw ng kahoy, at huwag lagyan ng apoy sa ilalim: at ihahanda ko ang isang baka at ilalagay ko sa kahoy, at hindi ko lalagyan ng apoy sa ilalim.
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."
At tawagan ninyo ang pangalan ng inyong dios, at tatawagan ko ang pangalan ng Panginoon: at ang Dios na sumagot sa pamamagitan ng apoy, ay siyang maging Dios. At ang buong bayan ay sumagot, at nagsabi, Mabuti ang pagkasabi.
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."
At sinabi ni Elias sa mga propeta ni Baal, Magsipili kayo ng isang baka sa ganang inyo, at inyong ihandang una, sapagka't kayo'y marami; at tawagan ninyo ang pangalan ng inyong dios, nguni't huwag ninyong lagyan ng apoy sa ilalim.
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.
At kanilang kinuha ang baka na ibinigay sa kanila, at kanilang inihanda, at tinawagan ang pangalan ni Baal mula sa kinaumagahan hanggang sa kinatanghaliang tapat, na nagsisipagsabi, Oh Baal dinggin mo kami. Nguni't walang tinig, o sinomang sumagot. At sila'y nagsisilukso sa siping ng dambana na ginawa.
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."
At nangyari, nang kinatanghaliang tapat, na biniro sila ni Elias, at sinabi, Sumigaw kayo ng malakas: sapagka't siya'y dios; siya nga'y nagmumunimuni, o nasa tabi, o nasa paglalakbay, o marahil siya'y natutulog, at marapat gisingin.
28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves, as was their custom, with swords and spears, until the blood gushed out on them.
At sila'y nagsisigaw ng malakas, at sila'y nagsipagkudlit ayon sa kanilang kaugalian ng sundang at mga sibat, hanggang sa bumuluwak ang dugo sa kanila.
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.
At nangyari nang makaraan ang kinatanghaliang tapat, na sila'y nanghula hanggang sa oras ng paghahandog ng alay na ukol sa hapon: nguni't wala kahit tinig, ni sinomang sumagot, ni sinomang makinig.
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.
At sinabi ni Elias sa buong bayan, Lumapit kayo sa akin; at ang buong bayan ay lumapit sa kaniya. At kaniyang inayos ang dambana ng Panginoon na nabagsak.
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."
At kumuha si Elias ng labing dalawang bato, ayon sa bilang ng mga lipi ng mga anak ni Jacob, na sa kaniya ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating, na sinasabi, Israel ang magiging iyong pangalan.
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.
At sa pamamagitan ng mga bato ay kaniyang itinayo ang dambana sa pangalan ng Panginoon; at kaniyang nilagyan ng hukay sa palibot ng dambana, na ang laki ay kasisidlan ng dalawang takal na binhi.
33 And he arranged the wood, and cut the bull in pieces, and laid it on the wood.
At kaniyang inilagay ang kahoy na maayos, at kinatay ang baka at ipinatong sa kahoy. At kaniyang sinabi, Punuin ninyo ang apat na tapayan ng tubig, at ibuhos ninyo sa handog na susunugin, at sa kahoy.
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.
At kaniyang sinabi, Gawin ninyong ikalawa; at kanilang ginawang ikalawa. At kaniyang sinabi, Gawin ninyong ikaitlo; at kanilang ginawang ikaitlo.
35 And the water ran around the altar; and he also filled the trench with water.
At ang tubig ay umagos sa palibot ng dambana; at kaniyang pinuno naman ng tubig ang hukay.
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.
At nangyari, sa oras ng paghahandog ng alay sa hapon, na si Elias, na propeta ay lumapit, at nagsabi, Oh Panginoon, na Dios ni Abraham, ni Isaac, at ni Israel, pakilala ka sa araw na ito, na ikaw ay Dios sa Israel, at ako ang iyong lingkod, at aking ginawa ang lahat na bagay na ito sa iyong salita.
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."
Dinggin mo ako, Oh Panginoon, dinggin mo ako, upang matalastas ng bayang ito, na ikaw, na Panginoon, ay Dios, at iyong pinapanumbalik ang kanilang puso.
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.
Nang magkagayo'y ang apoy ng Panginoon ay nalaglag, at sinupok ang handog na susunugin at ang kahoy, at ang mga bato, at ang alabok, at hinimuran ang tubig na nasa hukay.
39 And when all the people saw it, they fell facedown and said, "The LORD, he is God. The LORD, he is God."
At nang makita ng buong bayan, sila'y nagpatirapa: at kanilang sinabi, Ang Panginoon ay siyang Dios; ang Panginoon ay siyang 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.
At sinabi ni Elias sa kanila, Dakpin ninyo ang mga propeta ni Baal; huwag makatanan ang sinoman sa kanila. At kanilang dinakip sila: at sila'y ibinaba ni Elias sa batis ng Cison, at pinatay roon.
41 And Elijah said to Ahab, "Get up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of a heavy rain."
At sinabi ni Elias kay Achab, Ikaw ay umahon, kumain ka at uminom ka; sapagka't may hugong ng kasaganaan ng ulan.
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.
Sa gayo'y umahon si Achab upang kumain at uminom. At si Elias ay umahon sa taluktok ng Carmelo; at siya'y yumukod sa lupa, at inilagay ang kaniyang mukha sa pagitan ng kaniyang mga tuhod.
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.
At kaniyang sinabi sa kaniyang lingkod, Umahon ka ngayon, tumingin ka sa dakong dagat. At siya'y umahon at tumingin, at nagsabi, Walang anomang bagay. At kaniyang sinabi, Yumaon ka uling makapito.
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.'"
At nangyari, sa ikapito, na kaniyang sinabi, Narito, may bumangong isang ulap sa dagat, na kasingliit ng kamay ng isang lalake. At kaniyang sinabi, Ikaw ay yumaon, sabihin mo kay Achab, Ihanda mo ang iyong karo, at ikaw ay lumusong baka ka mapigil ng ulan.
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.
At nangyari, pagkaraan ng sangdali, na ang langit ay nagdilim sa alapaap at hangin, at nagkaroon ng malakas na ulan. At si Achab ay sumakay, at naparoon sa 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.
At ang kamay ng Panginoon ay nasa kay Elias; at kaniyang binigkisan ang kaniyang mga balakang, at tumakbong nagpauna kay Achab sa pasukan ng Jezreel.
