1 Kings 19
1 Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
Na ka korerotia e Ahapa ki a Ietepere nga mea katoa i mea ai a Iraia, me nga meatanga katoa i tana whakamatenga i nga poropiti katoa ki te hoari.
2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, "So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time."
Katahi a Ietepere ka tono tangata ki a Iraia hei ki atu, Kia meatia tenei ki ahau e nga atua, me etahi atu mea, ki te kahore ahau e mea i a koe i tenei takiwa apopo kia rite te mate ki tetahi o ratou i mate ra.
3 And he was afraid, and he got up and fled for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.
A ka kite ia, na whakatika ana, haere ana, he mea kei mate, a ka tae ki Peerehepa o Hura. Na ka whakarerea e ia tana tangata ki reira.
4 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he requested for himself that he might die, and said, "It is enough. Now, O LORD, take away my life, for I am no better than my fathers."
Ko ia ia i haere ki te koraha, kotahi te ra ki te ara, a ka tae, ka noho i raro i tetahi hunipa: a ka inoi ia mona kia mate ia; a ka mea, Heoi ra, inaianei, e Ihowa, tangohia atu toku wairua; kahore hoki ahau i pai ake i oku matua.
5 He lay down and slept under a broom tree. And look, an angel touched him, and said to him, "Arise and eat."
Na ka takoto ia, ka moe i raro i tetahi hunipa; na, ko tetahi anahera e papaki ana i a ia, e mea ana ki a ia, Maranga ki te kai.
6 He looked, and look, there was at his head a cake baked on the coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank, and lay down again.
Na titiro rawa ake ia, ko tetahi keke, he mea tunu ki te pungarehu, me tetahi ipu wai i tona urunga. Na kai ana ia, inu ana, a takoto iho ana ano.
7 The angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, "Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you."
Na ka hoki mai ano te anahera a Ihowa, a ka papaki i a ia, ka mea, Maranga ki te kai; he roa rawa hoki te ara mou, e kore e taea e koe.
8 And he got up and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the Mount of God.
Na maranga ana ia, a kai ana, inu ana, a haere ana, me te mau ano te mana o taua kai, e wha tekau nga ra, e wha tekau nga po a tae noa ki Horepa, ki te maunga o te Atua.
9 And there he came to a cave and lodged there; and look, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"
Na haere ana ia ki reira ki tetahi ana, a moe ana i reira. Na ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a ia; i mea ia, E aha ana koe i konei, e Iraia?
10 He said, "I have been very jealous for the LORD, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and slain your prophets with the sword, and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away."
A ka mea tera, Nui atu toku hae mo Ihowa, mo te Atua o nga mano; kua whakarerea hoki tau kawenata e nga tama a Iharaira, a ko au aata, wahia iho e ratou, patua iho hoki e ratou au poropiti ki te hoari; a ko ahau, ko ahau rawa anake i mahue; a ke i te rapu ratou i ahau kia whakamatea.
11 And he said, "Go out tomorrow and stand on the mountain before the LORD." Look, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake.
Na ka mea ia, Puta mai, ka tu ki te maunga ki te aroaro o Ihowa. Na ko te haerenga atu o Ihowa, he nui ano te hau, he kaha, e whakakoara ana i nga maunga, e wahi ana i nga kohatu i te aroaro o Ihowa; otiia kahore a Ihowa i roto i te hau: a muri iho i te hau ko te ru; otiia kahore a Ihowa i roto i te ru:
12 After the earthquake a fire passed; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
A i muri o te ru ko te ahi; otiia kahore a Ihowa i roto i te ahi: a i muri i te ahi ko te reo ngawari, he mea iti.
13 It was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his cloak, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. Look, a voice came to him, and said, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"
A, no te rongonga o Iraia ka hipokina e ia tona mata ki tona koroka, a haere ana, tu ana i te kuwaha o te ana. Na ko te putanga mai o tetahi reo ki a ia, ka mea, E aha ana koe i konei, e Iraia?
14 He said, "I have been very jealous for the LORD, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and slain your prophets with the sword, and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away."
Ano ra ko tera, Nui atu toku hae mo Ihowa, mo te Atua o nga mano; kua whakarerea hoki tau kawenata e nga tama a Iharaira, ko au aata, wahia iho e ratou, patua iho e ratou au poropiti ki te hoari; a ko ahau, ko ahau rawa anake i mahue; a kei te r apu ratou i ahau kia whakamatea.
15 The LORD said to him, "Go, return on your way, and you will come to the way of the wilderness of Damascus, and when you arrive, you shall anoint Hazael to be king over Aram.
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, Haere, e hoki i tou ara ki te koraha o Ramahiku; a ka tae koe, whakawahia a Hataere hei kingi mo Hiria.
16 You shall anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi to be king over Israel; and you shall anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah to be prophet in your place.
A whakawahia a Iehu tama a Nimihi hei kingi mo Iharaira; me whakawahi ano a Eriha tama a Hapata o Aperemehora hei poropiti i muri i a koe.
17 It shall happen, that he who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and he who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill.
Na, ko te hunga e mawhiti i te hoari a Hataere ma Iehu e whakamate; ko te hunga e mawhiti i te hoari a Iehu ma Eriha e whakamate.
18 Yet I have kept for myself seven thousand people in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him."
Otiia ka whakatoea e ahau maku e whitu nga mano i roto i a Iharaira, ko nga turi katoa kihai ano i tuturi ki a Paara, me nga mangai katoa kihai i kihi i a ia.
19 So he departed there, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing, with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed over to him, and cast his cloak on him.
Heoi haere atu ana ia i reira, a ka tupono ki a Eriha tama a Hapata, e parau ana ia, me nga kau i nga ioka kotahi tekau ma rua i tona aroaro, ko ia i te tekau ma rua: na haere ana a Iraia i tona taha, a maka ana e ia tona koroka ki runga ki a ia.
20 He left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, "Let me please kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you." He said to him, "Go back again; for what have I done to you?"
Na whakarerea ake e tera nga kau, a rere ana ki te whai i a Iraia, a ka mea, Tukua ahau kia kihi i toku papa, i toku whaea, ka haere ai ki te whai i a koe. Ano ra ko tera ki a ia, Haere, e hoki: i aha hoki ahau ki a koe?
21 He returned from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, and killed them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and served him.
Na hoki ana tera i te whai i a ia, a ka mau ki nga kau o tetahi ioka, patua iho, kohuatia iho o raua kikokiko ki nga mea o nga kau, hoatu ana e ia te kikokiko ki nga tangata, a kainga ana e ratou. Na whakatika ana ia, haere ana ki te whai i a Ir aia, a mahi ana ki a ia.
