1 Kings 19
1 Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
Elijah ni tahloi hoi profetnaw pueng koung a theinae kong dawkvah, Ahab ni Jezebel koe a dei pouh.
2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I don’t make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time!”
Jezebel ni, hotnaw thung dawk e tami buet touh e hringnae patetlah tangtho tuektue vah na hringnae ka sak hoehnahlan teh, cathutnaw ni a ngai awh e patetlah na sak awh naseh, hot hlak ka pataw lahai yah, telah Elijah koe patoune a patoun.
3 When he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.
Hote hah a thai toteh, a thaw teh a yawng. Judah ram Beersheba vah a pha teh hawvah, a san heh a hruek.
4 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree. Then he requested for himself that he might die, and said, “It is enough. Now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.”
Ama teh kahrawngum hnin touh lamcei koe a cei teh, samphokung rahim a tahung teh, a due nahanelah a ratoum. A khout toe, Oe BAWIPA atuvah, ka hringnae hah lat yawkaw lawih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, mintoenaw hlak haiyah, kahawihnawn kalawn hoeh, telah a ti.
5 He lay down and slept under a juniper tree; and behold, an angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat!”
Hottelah samphokung rahim a yan teh a i. Hahoi khenhaw! kalvantaminaw ni a tek awh teh, ahni koe, thaw nateh cat haw, telah a ti.
6 He looked, and behold, there was at his head a cake baked on the coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank, and lay down again.
A kamlang teh khenhaw! vaiyei hmai pahai e phen touh hoi tuium a lû koe ao e hah a hmu teh, a ca teh bout a i.
7 The LORD’s angel came again the second time, and touched him, and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.”
BAWIPA e kalvantami buet touh a tho teh bout a tek, thaw nateh cat. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kahlawng na cei nahane ahlapoung dawkvah, na khang thai hoeh langvaih atipouh.
8 He arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb, God’s Mountain.
A thaw teh a ca teh a nei, hottelah rawca a ca e lahoi Cathut e mon Horeb totouh hnin 40 rum 40 touh a cei.
9 He came to a cave there, and camped there; and behold, the LORD’s word came to him, and he said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
Lungngoum buet touh a hmu teh hawvah ao. Hahoi khenhaw! BAWIPA e lawk ahni koe a pha teh, Elijah, hivah bangmaw na sak, telah a pacei.
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 killed your prophets with the sword. I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.”
Ahni ni BAWIPA ransabawi Cathut hanelah thouk ka kâyawm teh, bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarel catounnaw ni, na lawkkam hah hnamthun takhai awh teh, na khoungroe hah a raphoe awh teh, na profet hah tahloi hoi a thei awh, kaawm e teh kai dueng doeh toe, ka hringnae hai thei hanlah a kâcai awh, telah a ti.
11 He said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before the LORD.” Behold, 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 there was an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake.
Ahni ni tâcawt nateh, BAWIPA hmalah mon vah kangdout haw, telah ati. Hahoi khenhaw! BAWIPA a tho. Katangpounge kahlî ni BAWIPA hmalah mon hah a hmang teh, lungsongnaw koung a kâbawng. Hatei, BAWIPA teh kahlî dawk awm hoeh. Kahlî be a roum hoi Tâlî a no. Hatei, Tâlî dawk BAWIPA teh awm hoeh.
12 After the earthquake a fire passed; but the LORD was not in the fire. After the fire, there was a still small voice.
Tâlî be a no hnukkhu hmai a tâco. Hatei, hmai dawk BAWIPA teh awm hoeh. Hmai a roum toteh, lawkkanem pâdingsue lah a tho.
13 When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle, went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. Behold, a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
Elijah ni hot hah a thai toteh, a tâco teh lungngoum rai koe a kangdue. Hahoi thaihaw lawk ni, Elijah hivah bangmaw na sak, atipouh.
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 killed your prophets with the sword. I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.”
Ahni ni, BAWIPA ransabawi Cathut hanelah thouk ka kâyawm. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarel catounnaw ni na lawkkam hah a hnamthun awh teh, na khoungroe hah a raphoe awh teh, na profetnaw hah tahloi hoi a thei awh. Kai dueng doeh kaawm toe. Kai hah na thei hanlah a kâcai awh, telah a ti.
15 The LORD said to him, “Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus. When you arrive, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria.
BAWIPA ni ahni koe, ban nateh, kahrawngum hoi Damaskas lah cet, na tho torei Siria siangpahrang hanelah Hazael hah satui na awi han.
16 Anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi to be king over Israel; and anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah to be prophet in your place.
Isarel siangpahrang hanelah Nimshi capa Jehu hah satui na awi han. Hahoi nang yueng lah profet ka tawk hane Abelmelholath tami Saphat capa Elisha hah satui bout na awi han.
17 He who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and he who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill.
Hazael tahloi hoi kahlout e pueng teh, Jehu ni a thei han, Jehu tahloi hoi kahlout e pueng teh Elisha ni a thei han.
18 Yet I reserved seven thousand in Israel, all the knees of which have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth which has not kissed him.”
Hatei, Isarel ram vah, Baal hmalah a khokpakhu ka cuengkhuem boihoeh ni teh ka pahnuem boihoeh e tami 7000 touh kama hanelah ka ta toe, telah a ti.
19 So he departed from there and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth. Elijah went over to him and put his mantle on him.
Haw hoi a tâco teh, Saphat capa Elisha hah a hmu. A hmalah maitotan bo hlaikahni touh ni talai a thawn teh, a hlaikahni e dawkvah ama teh ao. Elijah ni a ceihlawi navah, a hni hoi ahni teh a dêi.
20 Elisha 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?”
A maitotan a ceitakhai teh, Elijah a hnuk lahoi a pâlei teh apa hoi anu ka paco han rah, hahoi ka kâbang han telah atipouh. Ahni ni, bout ban, bangkongtetpawiteh, nang hanlah bangmaw ka sak, telah a ti.
21 He returned from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, killed them, and boiled their meat with the oxen’s equipment, and gave to the people; and they ate. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and served him.
Haw hoi a ban teh, maitotan bo touh hah a thei teh, talai thawnnae thing hoi a thawng teh, khocanaw a poe teh a ca awh. Hahoi a thaw teh Elijah hnuk a kâbang teh, a san lah a coung.
