1 Kings 19
1 Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
Koro Ahab nonyiso Jezebel mago duto mane Elija nosetimo kendo kaka nosenego jonabi gi ligangla,
2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So may the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life like the life of one of those dead prophets by tomorrow about this time.”
omiyo Jezebel nooro jaote ir Elija mondo owachne niya, “Mad nyiseche timna kata bedi ni en malit machalo nade ka kiny sa ma kama ok atimo ni ngimani machal gi achiel kuom jonabigo.”
3 When Elijah heard that, he arose and fled for his life and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.
Elija ne luor kendo noringo nikech ngimane. Kane obiro Bersheba e Juda, noweyo jatichne kanyo,
4 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree. He requested for himself that he might die, and said, “It is enough, now, Yahweh; take away my life, for I am no better than my dead ancestors.”
ka en to nodhi e wuodh ndalo achiel e thim. Nochopo e tiend yien ma wiye opedhore mobedo e tiende kendo nolamo ni mad otho. Nowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye, aseneno moroma, kaw ngimana, ok aber moloyo kwerena.”
5 So he lay down and slept under a broom tree. Suddenly an angel touched him and said to him, “Get up and eat.”
Eka nonindo e tiend yien ma nindo otere. Mapiyo piyo nono malaika nomule mowachone niya, “Chungʼ malo mondo ichiem.”
6 Elijah looked, and near his head was bread that had been baked on coals and a jug of water. So he ate and drank and then lay down again.
Nongʼicho kendo noyudo makati matin maliet motedi gi makaa koketi but wiye kod pi e agulu. Nochiemo mometho eka bangʼe kendo nodok monindo.
7 The angel of Yahweh came again a second time and touched him and said, “Get up and eat, because the journey will be too much for you.”
Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye noduogo ire mar ariyo kendo nomule mowachone niya, “Chungi mondo ichiem nimar wuoth pod bor.”
8 So he arose and ate and drank, and he traveled in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb, the mountain of God.
Kamano nochungʼ mi ochiemo kendo ometho. Kane osechiemo noyudo teko mowuotho ndalo piero angʼwen, odiechiengʼ gotieno nyaka Horeb, got mar Nyasaye.
9 He went to a cave there and stayed in it. Then the word of Yahweh came to him and said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
Kanyo nodonjo ei rogo monindo kanyo. Kendo wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirone mawachone niya, “En angʼo mitimo ka, Elija?”
10 Elijah replied, “I have been very zealous for Yahweh, God of hosts, for the people of Israel have forsaken your covenant, destroyed your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. Now I, only I, am left and they are also trying to take my life.”
Nodwoko niya, “Asebedo katiyo matek ni Jehova Nyasaye Maratego. Jo-Israel osekwedo singruokni, gisemuko kende mag misengini kendo nego jonabigi gi ligangla. An kenda ema adongʼ kendo koro gidwaro nega.”
11 Yahweh replied, “Go out and stand on the mountain before me.” Then Yahweh passed by, and a very strong wind struck the mountains and broke rocks into pieces before Yahweh, but Yahweh was not in the wind. Then after the wind, an earthquake came, but Yahweh was not in the earthquake.
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Wuogi mondo idhi ichungi ewi got e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, nimar Jehova Nyasaye chiegni kadho.” Eka yamo maduongʼ makudho matek nobaro got mokeyo kite e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, to Jehova Nyasaye ne onge e yamono. Bangʼ yamono piny noyiengni, to Jehova Nyasaye ne onge e yiengni pinyno.
12 Then after the earthquake a fire came, but Yahweh was not in the fire. Then after the fire, a still small voice came.
Bangʼ yiengni pinyno mach nobiro, to Jehova Nyasaye ne onge ei majno. To bangʼ majno yamo makudho mos nobiro.
13 When Elijah heard the voice, he wrapped his face in his cloak, went out, and stood at the entrance of the cave. Then a voice came to him that said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
Kane Elija owinje noumo wangʼe gi law abola mowuok oko kochungʼ e dho rogo. Eka dwol nowuoyo kode kawacho niya, “En angʼo mitimo ka Elija?”
14 Elijah replied, “I have been very zealous for Yahweh, God of hosts, because the people of Israel have forsaken your covenant, destroyed your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. Now I, only I, am left and they are also trying to take my life.”
Nodwoko niya, “Asebedo katiyo matek ni Jehova Nyasaye Maratego. Jo-Israel osekwedo singruokni, gisemuko kende mag misengini kendo nego jonabigi gi ligangla. An kenda ema adongʼ kendo koro gidwaro nega.”
15 Then Yahweh said to him, “Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus, and when you arrive you will anoint Hazael to be king over Aram,
Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Dog gi yo mane ibirogo kendo idhi e thim mar Damaski. Ka ichopo kuno, to wir Hazael mondo obed ruodh Aram.
16 and you will anoint Jehu son of Nimshi to be king over Israel, and you will anoint Elisha son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah to be prophet in your place.
Bende wir Jehu wuod Nimshi obed ruodh Israel, kendo iwir Elisha wuod Shafat ma ja-Abel Mehola mondo okaw kari kaka janabi.
17 It will happen that Jehu will kill whoever escapes from the sword of Hazael, and that Elisha will kill whoever escapes from the sword of Jehu.
Jehu biro nego ngʼato angʼata motony e ligangla mar Hazael kendo Elisha biro nego ngʼato angʼata motony e ligangla Jehu.
18 But I will leave for myself seven thousand people in Israel, whose knees have not bent down to Baal, and whose mouths have not kissed him.”
To kata mana sani an gi jodolo alufu abiriyo e piny Israel duto mapok okulore ne Baal, kendo ma pod olame ka nyodhe.”
19 So Elijah left from there and found Elisha son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he himself was plowing with the twelfth yoke. Elijah walked over to Elisha and draped his cloak on him.
Omiyo Elija nowuok kanyo modhi oyudo Elisha wuod shafat. Nopuro gi rwedhi motwe e jok apar gariyo kendo en owuon ema nochwado rwedhi machien. Elija nodhi machiegni kendo nobolo lawe mar abola kuome.
20 Then Elisha left the oxen and ran after Elijah; he said, “Please let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.” Then Elijah said to him, “Go back, but think about what I have done to you.”
Elisha noweyo rwethe mag pur moringo koluwo bangʼ Elija. Nowachone niya, “Yie iwe ago ne wuonwa kod minwa oriti bangʼe to abiro dhiyo kodi.” Elija nodwoke niya, “Dogi, en angʼo ma asetimo?”
21 So Elisha returned from Elijah and took the yoke of oxen, killed the animals, and cooked the meat with the wood from the ox yoke. Then he gave it to the people and they ate. Then he arose, went after Elijah and served him.
Omiyo Elisha noweye modok. Nokawo rwethe mag pur moyangʼogi. Nowangʼo gik mane opurogo mondo ochwakgo ringʼo mi nomiyo ji kendo gichamo. Eka nochako wuoth moluwo bangʼ Elija kendo nobedo jakonyne.
