< 2 Kings 1 >
1 After King Ahab died, [the country of] Moab rebelled against Israel.
Tukun Tokosra Ahab lun Israel el misa, acn Moab tuyak ac alein nu sin Israel.
2 One day, Ahaziah, [the new king of Israel, ] fell through the wooden slats/boards around the edge of the flat roof [of his palace] in Samaria. He was badly injured, so he summoned some messengers and told them, “Go to Ekron [city in Philistia], and ask their god Baalzebub whether I will (recover/become well).”
Tokosra Ahaziah lun Israel el putatla ke sawalsrisr fulat in lohm sel in acn Samaria ac arulana musalla manol. Ouinge el supwala kutu mwet lal in som lolngok yorol Baalzebub, god lun acn Ekron, sie siti in acn Philistia, in konauk lah el ac kwela ku tia.
3 But an angel from Yahweh said to Elijah, the prophet from Tishbe [town], “The king of Samaria [is sending] some messengers [to Ekron]. Go and meet them and say to them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to Ekron to ask Baalzebub, the god of those people, [whether you will recover]?
A sie lipufan lun LEUM GOD sapkin nu sel Elijah, mwet palu in acn Tishbe, elan som osun nu sin mwet lal Tokosra Ahaziah ac siyuk selos, “Efu kowos ku som lolngok yorol Baalzebub, god lun Ekron? Ya mweyen kowos nunku mu wangin god lun Israel?
4 Yahweh says [that you should tell King Ahaziah] that he will not recover from his being injured; he will surely die.’”
Fahk nu sel tokosra lah LEUM GOD El fahk, ‘Kom ac fah tia kwela. Kom ac misa!’” Elijah el oru oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin,
5 [So Elijah went to meet] the messengers [and told that to them, and they] returned to the king [instead of going to Ekron]. The king asked them, “Why did you return [so soon]?”
ac mwet ma supweyuk sel tokosra inge folokla nu yorol. Na tokosra el siyuk, “Efu kowos ku sa na foloko?”
6 They replied, “A man came to meet us, and said to us, ‘Return to the king who sent you and tell him that Yahweh says, “(Is it because there no God in Israel that you are sending [messengers] to Ekron to consult Baalzebub, their god?/You seem to think there is no God in Israel, with the result that you are sending [messengers] to Ekron to ask Baalzebub, their god, [whether you will recover].) [RHQ] [Go tell the king that] he will not recover from being injured; instead, he will surely die.”’”
Elos topuk, “Kut sun mwet se su fahk nu sesr kut in foloko fahk nu sum mu LEUM GOD El fahk nu sum ouinge, ‘Efu kom ku supweyuk mwet in som lolngok yorol Baalzebub, god lun Ekron? Ya mweyen kom nunku mu wangin god lun Israel? Kom ac tia kwela. Kom ac misa!’”
7 The king said to them, “The man who came to meet you and told that to you, what did he look like?”
Ac tokosra el siyuk, “Fuka luman mwet sacn?”
8 They replied, “He was a hairy man and he had a [wide] leather belt around his waist.” The king exclaimed, “That was Elijah!”
Ac elos topuk, “El nukum nuknuk lik se orekla ke unen kosro, ac losya infulwal ke pel se orekla ke kulun kosro.” Na tokosra el fahk, “Elijah pa mwet sacn!”
9 Then the king sent an officer with 50 soldiers to seize Elijah. They found Elijah sitting on the top of a hill. The officer called out to him, “Prophet, the king commands that you come down here!”
Na el supwala sie mwet leum lun mwet mweun wi mwet lumngaul lal in som usalu Elijah. Mwet leum sac konalak ke el muta fin inging soko ac el fahk nu sel Elijah, “Mwet lun God, tokosra el sap kom in oatui.”
10 But Elijah replied, “I am a prophet; so, I command that fire come down from the sky and burn up you and your 50 soldiers!” Immediately, fire came down from the sky and completely burned up the officer and his 50 [soldiers].
Elijah el topuk, “Nga fin mwet lun God, lela e in tuku inkusrao me unikomi ac mwet lom ingan!” In pacl sacna, e tuku inkusrao me ac uniya leum sac ac mwet lal ah.
11 [When the king found out about that, ] he sent another officer with 50 more soldiers. They went [to where Elijah was], and the officer called out to him, “Prophet, the king commands that you come down immediately!”
Tokosra el supwala pac sie leum wi mwet lumngaul lal, su som ac fahk nu sel Elijah, “Mwet lun God, tokosra el sap kom in oatui ingena!”
12 But Elijah replied, “I am a prophet; [to prove that, ] I command that fire come down from the sky and kill you and your soldiers!” Then a fire from God came down from the sky and killed the officer and his soldiers.
Elijah el topuk, “Nga fin mwet lun God, lela e in tuku inkusrao me unikomi ac mwet lom ingan!” In pacl sacna, e lun God tuku lucng me ac uniya leum sac ac mwet lal ah.
13 [When the king heard about that] he sent another officer with 50 more soldiers. [They went to where Elijah was], and the officer prostrated himself in front of Elijah, and said to him, “Prophet, I plead with you, be kind to me and my 50 soldiers, and (do not kill us/allow us to remain alive)!
Na tokosra el sifilpa supwala sie pac leum wi mwet lumngaul lal. El utyak nu fin inging soko ah, sikukmutunteyak ye mutal Elijah ac kwafe sel, “Mwet lun God, pakoten nu sik ac mwet luk inge. Nimet unikuti!
14 [We know that] two times fire came down from the sky and killed officers and the 50 soldiers who were with them. So now, please be kind to me!”
Leum luo meet ah wi mwet laltal ah anwuki ke e inkusrao me. A nga siyuk kom in nunak munas ac pakoten nu sik!”
15 Then the angel from Yahweh said to Elijah, “Go down [and go] with him. Do not be afraid of him.” So Elijah went with them to the king.
Lipufan lun LEUM GOD fahk nu sel Elijah, “Oatui welul ac nimet sangeng.” Ouinge Elijah el wi mwet leum sac som nu yorol tokosra
16 [When Elijah arrived, ] he said to the king, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You sent messengers to go to Ekron to ask Baalzebub, their god, [whether you would recover]. You acted as though [RHQ] there is no God in Israel to consult. So you will not recover from being injured; instead, you are going to die!’”
ac fahk nu sel, “Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El fahk, ‘Mweyen kom supwala mwet in som lolngok yorol Baalzebub, god lun Ekron, srulukin wangin god lun Israel kom in lolngok se, na pa kom ac tia kwela. Kom ac misa!’”
17 So Ahaziah died, which is what Yahweh told Elijah would happen. Ahaziah’s [younger] brother Joram became the new king, when Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, had been ruling Judah for almost two years. Ahaziah’s brother became the king because Ahaziah had no son [to become the king].
Ahaziah el misa oana ma LEUM GOD El fahkak sel Elijah. Wangin wen natul Ahaziah, na pa Joram tamulel lal, el aolul in tokosra ke yac akluo ke pacl in leum lal Jehoram wen natul Jehoshaphat, tokosra lun Judah.
18 [If you want to know about] all the other things that Ahaziah did, they are [RHQ] written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
