Fiawo 1 18
1 Le ɣeyiɣi didi aɖe megbe, le ƒe etɔ̃lia me la, Yehowa ƒe nya va na Eliya be, “Yi nàtsɔ ɖokuiwò afia Ahab eye mana tsi nadza ɖe anyigba dzi.”
Aftir many daies the word of the Lord was maad to Elie, in the thridde yeer, and seide, Go, and schewe thee to Achab, that Y yyue reyn on the face of erthe.
2 Ale Eliya ɖagblɔe na Fia Ahab. Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, dɔwuame nu sẽ ŋutɔ le Samaria.
Therfor Elie yede to schewe hym silf to Achab; forsothe greet hungur was in Samarie.
3 Ame si kpɔa Fia Ahab ƒe aƒemenyawo dzi lae nye Obadiya, ame si nye mawuvɔ̃la aɖe.
And Achab clepide Abdie, dispendere, ether stiward, of his hows; forsothe Abdie dredde greetli the Lord God of Israel.
4 Eva eme be fianyɔnu Yezebel dze agbagba be yeawu Yehowa ƒe nyagblɔɖilawo katã le anyigba la dzi, ke Obadiya dze agbagba ɣla wo dometɔ alafa ɖeka ɖe agado eve me. Ame blaatɔ̃ nɔ agado ɖeka me eye blaatɔ̃ hã nɔ agado evelia me. Enyi wo kple abolo kple tsi ƒuƒlu ko.
For whanne Jezabel killide the prophetis of the Lord, he took an hundrid prophetis, and hidde hem, bi fifties and fifties, in dennes, and fedde hem with breed and watir.
5 Fia Ahab gblɔ na Obadiya be, “Tsa le tɔsisi kple tɔʋu ɖe sia ɖe to le anyigba blibo la dzi ɖewohĩ miakpɔ gbe ana sɔawo kple tedziawo woaɖu be miaƒe lãwo magatsrɔ̃ na mi o.
Therfor Achab seide to Abdie, Go thou in to the lond, to alle wellis of watris, and in to alle valeis, if in hap we moun fynde gras, and saue horsis and mulis; and werk beestis perische not outirli.
6 Ale ame eveawo tsa le anyigba la dzi; Ahab tsɔ eƒe mɔ eye Obadiya hã lé eƒe mɔ tsɔ.”
Therfor thei departiden the cuntreis to hem silf, that thei schulden cumpasse tho; Achab yede bi o weye, and Abdie yede bi another weie, `bi hym silf.
7 Obadiya kpɔ Eliya wògbɔna egbɔ. Obadiya dze sii enumake. Ede ta agu nɛ eye wòbiae be, “Nye aƒetɔ Eliya, wò tututuea?”
And whanne Abdie was in the weie, Elie mette hym; and whanne he hadde knowe Elie, he felde on his face, and seide, Whethir thou art my lord Elie?
8 Eliya ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, nye tututue. Yi nàgblɔ na Fia la be mele afii.”
To whom he answeride, Y am. And Elie seide, Go thou, and seie to thi lord, Elie is present.
9 Obadiya biae be, “Nu gbegblẽ ka mewɔ be nètsɔ wò dɔla le asi dem na Ahab be wòawu?
And Abdie seide, What `synnede Y, for thou bitakist me in the hond of Achab, that he sle me?
10 Meta Yehowa, wò Mawu la ƒe agbe be dukɔ alo fiaɖuƒe aɖeke meli si nye aƒetɔ medɔ ame ɖo be woadi wò o. Ne dukɔ aɖe alo fiaɖuƒe aɖe gblɔ be mèle yewo gbɔ o la, enana wokaa atam be nyateƒee yewomekpɔ wò o.
Thi Lord God lyueth, for no folk ethir rewme is, whidur my lord, sekynge thee, sente not; and whanne alle men answeriden, He is not here, he chargide greetli alle rewmes and folkis, for thou were not foundun; and now thou seist to me,
11 Ke azɔ la, ègblɔ nam be mayi nye aƒetɔ gbɔ, agblɔ nɛ be, ‘Eliya le afii.’
Go, and seie to thi lord, Elie is present.
12 Nyemenya afi si Yehowa ƒe Gbɔgbɔ akplɔ wò ayii ne medzo le gbɔwò o. Ke ne meɖagblɔe na Ahab eye meva kpɔ wò o la, awum. Ke hã la, nye, wò dɔla, mesubɔ Yehowa tso nye ɖekakpuime ke.
And whanne Y schal departe fro thee, the Spirit of the Lord schal bere thee awey in to a place which Y knowe not; and Y schal entre, and `Y schal telle to Achab, and he schal not fynde thee, and he schal sle me; forsothe thi seruaunt dredith the Lord fro his yong childhod.
13 Nye aƒetɔ, ɖe mèse nu si mewɔ esi Yezebel nɔ Yehowa ƒe nyagblɔɖilawo wum oa? Meɣla Yehowa ƒe nyagblɔɖila alafa ɖeka ɖe agado eve me, blaatɔ̃ ɖe agado ɖeka me, blaatɔ̃ ɖe agado evelia me eye mena nuɖuɖu kple tsi wo.
Whether it is not schewid to thee, my lord, what Y dide, whanne Jesabel killide the prophetis of the Lord, that Y hidde of the prophetis of the Lord an hundrid men, bi fifty and bi fifti, in dennes, and Y fedde hem with breed and watir?
14 Ke azɔ la, ègblɔ nam be mayi nye aƒetɔ gbɔ agblɔ nɛ be, ‘Eliya le afii.’ Awum godoo!”
And now thou seist, Go, and seie to thi lord, Elie is present, that he sle me.
15 Eliya gblɔ nɛ be, “Meta Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, ame si mesubɔna la ƒe agbe be egbe matsɔ ɖokuinye afia Ahab godoo.”
And Elie seide, The Lord of oostis lyueth, bifor whos siyt Y stonde, for to dai Y schal appere to hym.
16 Ale Obadiya yi ɖagblɔ na Fia Ahab be Eliya va. Ale Ahab do go be yeayi aɖakpee.
Therfor Abdie yede in to the metyng of Achab, and schewide to hym; and Achab cam in to the meetyng of Elie.
17 Esi wòkpɔ Eliya la, ebiae be, “Wòe nye ema? Wò ame si le fu ɖem na Israel mahã?”
And whanne he hadde seyn Elie, he seide, Whether thou art he, that disturblist Israel?
18 Eliya ɖo eŋu be, “Nyemehe fukpekpe aɖeke va Israel dzi o, ke boŋ wò kple fofowò ƒe aƒe lae elabena miegble Yehowa ƒe sededewo ɖi eye miedze Baalwo yome.
And he seide, Not Y disturble Israel, but thou, and the hows of thi fadir, whiche han forsake the comaundementis of the Lord, and sueden Baalym, `disturbliden Israel.
19 Azɔ la, yɔ Israel katã, Baal ƒe nyagblɔɖila alafa ene blaatɔ̃ kple aƒeli ƒe nyagblɔɖila alafa ene siwo ɖua nu le Yezebel ƒe kplɔ̃ ŋu ƒo ƒu ɖe gbɔnye le Karmel to dzi.”
Netheles now sende thou, and gadere to me al Israel, in the hil of Carmele, and foure hundrid and fifti prophetis of Baal, and foure hundrid prophetis of woodis, that eten of the table of Jezabel.
20 Ale Ahab ɖo du ɖe Israelnyigba katã dzi eye wòna nyagblɔɖilawo ƒo ƒu ɖe Karmel to dzi.
Achab sente to alle the sones of Israel, and gaderide prophetis in the hil of Carmele.
21 Eye Eliya do ɖe ameawo ŋgɔ eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Ɣe ka ɣie mianɔ evedome si va se ɖo? Ne Yehowae nye Mawu la, midze eyome, ke nenye Baal ye nye Mawu la, midze eyome!” Gake womeɖo nya aɖeke ŋuti nɛ o.
Forsothe Elie neiyede to al the puple of Israel, and seide, Hou long halten ye in to twey partis? If the Lord is God, sue ye hym; forsothe if Baal is God, sue ye hym. And the puple answeride not o word to hym.
22 Eliya yi edzi be, “Nye ɖeka koe nye Yehowa ƒe nyagblɔɖila si susɔ, ke nyagblɔɖila alafa ene blaatɔ̃ le Baal ya si.
And Elie seide eft to the puple, Y dwellide aloone a prophete of the Lord; sotheli the prophetis of Baal ben foure hundrid and fifti, and the prophetis of woodis ben foure hundrid men.
23 Midi nyitsu eve na mí. Mina woatia ɖeka na wo ɖokui. Wonefli lã la eye woatsɔ lãkɔawo aɖo nake la dzi gake womado dzo ɖe ete o. Nye hã mafli nyitsu evelia atsɔ lãkɔawo aɖo nake la dzi eye nyemado dzo ɖe ete o.
Tweyne oxis be youun to us; and chese thei oon oxe, and thei schulen kitte in to gobetis, and schulen putte on trees, but putte thei not fier vndur; and Y schal make the tother oxe in to sacrifice, and Y schal putte on the trees, and Y schal not putte fier vnder.
24 Ekema miayɔ miaƒe mawu la ƒe ŋkɔ eye nye hã mayɔ Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ eye mawu si aɖo dzo ɖa la, eyae nye Mawu.” Tete ameawo katã do ɣli be, “Nya si nègblɔ la nyo.”
Clepe ye the name of youre goddis, and Y schal clepe the name of my God; and the God that herith bi fier, be he God. And al the puple answeride, and seide, The resoun is best, `which resoun Elie spak.
25 Eliya trɔ ɖe Baal ƒe nyagblɔɖilawo gbɔ eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Miawo miwɔ mia tɔ gbã, elabena miesɔ gbɔ. Mitia nyitsuawo dometɔ ɖeka, miflii da ɖe nakeawo dzi eye miyɔ miaƒe mawu la ƒe ŋkɔ gake migade dzo nakeawo te o.”
Therfor Elie seide to the prophetis of Baal, Chese ye oon oxe to you, and make ye first, for ye ben the mo; and clepe ye the names of youre goddis, and putte ye not fier vnder.
26 Wokplɔ nyitsu si wotsɔ na wo la, wowui, heflii ɖo nakeawo dzi. Tete woyɔ Baal ƒe ŋkɔ tso ŋdi va se ɖe ŋdɔ. Wodo ɣli be, “Oo Baal, tɔ na mí!” Gake ŋuɖoɖo aɖeke meva o eye ame aɖeke metɔ na wo o. Ale woɖu ɣe ƒo xlã vɔsamlekpui si woɖi.
And whanne thei hadden take the oxe, whom Elie yaf to hem, thei maden sacrifice, and clepiden the name of Baal, fro the morewtid `til to myddai, and seiden, Baal, here vs! And no vois was, nether ony that answerd; and thei skippiden ouer the auter, which thei hadden maad.
27 Esi ɣe ɖo to la, Eliya nɔ alɔme ɖem le wo ŋu be, “Mido ɣli sesĩe! Nyateƒemawue wònye! Ɖewohĩ ele ŋugble dem vevie alo eƒe ŋku biã ɖe dɔ aɖe ŋu alo ezɔ mɔ. Ɖewohĩ ele alɔ̃ dɔm eye wòhiã be woanyɔe.”
And whanne it was thanne myddai, Elie scornede hem, and seide, Crie ye with gretter vois, for Baal is youre god, and in hap he spekith with an other, ethir he is in a herborgerie, ether in weie, ether certis he slepith, that he be reisid.
28 Ale wogado ɣli ɖe edzi sesĩe wu tsã, eye le woƒe kɔnyinyi nu la, wotsɔ hɛwo kple yiwo si wo ɖokui va se ɖe esime ʋu do le wo ŋu.
Therfor thei crieden with greet vois, and thei kerueden hem silf with knyues and launcetis, bi her custom, til thei weren bisched with blood.
29 Le ɣetrɔ me la, woganɔ woƒe gbedodoɖa dzi kple ŋkubiã va se ɖe fiẽvɔsaɣi gake ame aɖeke metɔ o, ame aɖeke meɖo nya ŋu na wo loo alo ɖo to wo o.
Sotheli after that mydday passide, and while thei prophesieden, the tyme cam, in which the sacrifice is wont to be offrid, nether vois was herd `of her goddis, nether ony answeride, nether perceyuede hem preiynge.
30 Eliya gblɔ na ameawo katã be, “Mite va gbɔnye!” Ameawo katã ƒo ƒu ɖe eŋu esi wòdzra Yehowa ƒe vɔsamlekpui si wogbã la ɖo.
Elie seide to al the puple, Come ye to me. And whanne the puple cam to him, he arrayede the auter of the Lord, that was distried.
31 Etsɔ kpe wuieve ɖe Yakob, ame si Yehowa gblɔ na be, “Wò ŋkɔe anye Israel” la ƒe viwo ƒe to wuieveawo ƒe xexlẽme nu.
And he took twelue stonys, bi the noumbre of lynagis of sones of Jacob, to which Jacob the word of the Lord was maad, and seide, Israel schal be thi name.
32 Etsɔ kpeawo ɖi vɔsamlekpui le Yehowa ŋkɔ me eye wòɖe do ƒo xlãe. Do la lolo ale be woate ŋu akɔ tsi lita wuiatɔ̃ ɖe eme.
And he bildide an auter of stonys, in the name of the Lord, and he made a ledyng to of watir, `ether a dich, as bi twei litle dichis in the cumpas of the auter.
33 Eɖo nakeawo ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi eye wòfli nyitsu la hetsɔ ɖo nakeawo dzi. Emegbe la egblɔ na wo be, “Miku tsi ɖe tsizɔ eneawo me eye miatrɔe akɔ ɖe vɔsalã la kple nakeawo dzi.”
And he dresside trees, and he departide the oxe bi membris, and puttide on the trees,
34 Egblɔ na wo be, “Migawɔe ake” eye wogawɔe. Eɖe gbe na wò be, “Miwɔe zi etɔ̃lia.” Ale wowɔe zi etɔ̃lia.
and seide, Fille ye foure pottis with watir, and schede ye on the brent sacrifice, and on the trees. And eft he seide, Also the secounde tyme do ye this. `And thei diden the secounde tyme. And he seide, Do ye the same thing the thridde tyme; and thei diden the thridde tyme.
35 Ale tsi la gbagba tso vɔsamlekpui la dzi eye wòyɔ do si woɖe ƒo xlã vɔsamlekpui la gɔ̃ hã.
And the watris runnen aboute the auter, and the dich of ledyng to `of watir was fillid.
36 Esime fiẽvɔsaɣi ɖo la, Eliya te ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋu eye wòdo gbe ɖa be, “Oo, Yehowa, Abraham, Isak kple Israel ƒe Mawu, ɖee fia egbe be wòe nye Mawu le Israel eye mewɔ esiawo katã le wò nya nu.
And whanne the tyme was thanne, that the brent sacrifice schulde be offrid, Elye the prophete neiyede, and seide, Lord God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, schewe thou to dai that thou art God of Israel, and that Y am thi seruaunt, and haue do alle these wordis bi thi comaundement.
37 Tɔ nam, oo Yehowa, tɔ nam. Ekema, oo Yehowa, ame siawo anyae be, wòe nye Mawu eye be wòe gbugbɔ woƒe dzi le tɔtrɔm ɖe ŋuwò.”
Lord, here thou me; Lord, here thou me; that this puple lerne, that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast conuertid eft the herte of hem.
38 Tete Yehowa ƒe dzo ge va fia vɔsalã la, nakeawo, kpeawo kple anyigli la eye wòno tsi wòvɔ le do si woɖe ƒo xlã vɔsamlekpui la me ƒiaƒiaƒia!
Sotheli fier of the Lord felde doun, and deuouride brent sacrifice, and trees, and stonus, and lickide vp also the poudre, and the water that was in the `leding of water.
39 Esi ameawo katã kpɔ esia la, wotsyɔ mo anyi hedo ɣli be, “Yehowae nye Mawu! Yehowae nye Mawu vavã!”
And whanne al the puple hadde seyn this, it felde in to his face, and seide, The Lord he is God; the Lord he is God.
40 Tete Eliya ɖe gbe na wo be, “Milé Baal ƒe nyagblɔɖilawo. Migana wo dometɔ aɖeke nasi adzo o!” Ale wolé wo eye Eliya na wokplɔ wo ɖi agae yi ɖe Kison balime eye wòwu wo le afi ma.
And Elie seide to hem, Take ye the prophetis of Baal; not oon sotheli ascape of hem. And whanne thei hadden take hem, Elie ledde hem to the stronde of Cison, and killide hem there.
41 Azɔ la, Eliya gblɔ na Fia Ahab be, “Yi nàdi nu nyui aɖe nàɖu elabena tsi gã aɖe ɖo gbɔna.”
And Elie seide to Achab, Stie thou, ete, and drynke, for the sown of myche reyn is.
42 Ale Ahab ɖo kplɔ̃ gã aɖe, ke Eliya lia Karmel to la, dze klo eye wòtsɔ eƒe ta de eƒe klowo dome.
Achab stiede to ete and drynke; forsothe Elie stiede in to the hil of Carmele, and he settide lowli his face to the erthe, bitwixe hise knees;
43 Egblɔ na eƒe subɔla be, “Yi nàkpɔ atsiaƒu la gbɔ lɔƒo ɖa.” Subɔla la de gbɔ va gblɔ na Eliya be, “Nyemekpɔ naneke o.” Eliya gblɔ nɛ be, “Yi, nàgayi, nàgayi zi adre!”
and seide to his child, Stie thou, and biholde ayens the see. And whanne he hadde stied, and hadde biholde, he seide, No thing is. And eft Elie seide to hym, Turne thou ayen bi seuene tymes.
44 Mlɔeba la, esi subɔla la yi zi adrelia la, egblɔ na Eliya be, “Mekpɔ lilikpo aɖe wòlolo abe ŋutsu ƒe asi ene. Enɔ hohom tso atsiaƒu la me.” Eliya do ɣli enumake be, “Ɖe abla nàyi Ahab gbɔ, gblɔ nɛ be wòage ɖe eƒe tasiaɖam me eye wòaɖi tso to la dzi kaba, ne menye nenema o la, tsidzadza ava xe mɔ nɛ!”
Sotheli in the seuenthe tyme, lo! a litil cloude as the step of a man stiede fro the see. And Elie seide, Stie thou, and seie to Achab, Ioyne thi chare, and go doun, lest the reyn byfor ocupie thee.
45 Azɔ la, lilikpowo va xe dziŋgɔli la ŋkume litii eye ahomya sesẽ aɖe he tsidzadza gã aɖe vɛ. Ahab dzo enumake yi Yezreel.
And whanne thei turneden hem hidur and thidur, lo! heuenes weren maad derk, and cloud, and wynd, and greet reyn was maad. Therfor Achab stiede, and yede in to Jezrael;
46 Yehowa ƒe ŋusẽ va Eliya dzi ale be, esi wòbla eƒe ali dzi nyuie la, ete ŋu ƒu du nɔ ŋgɔ na Ahab ƒe tasiaɖam va se ɖe Yezreel ƒe agbo nu.
and the hond of the Lord was maad on Elie, and whanne the leendis weren gird, he ran bifor Achab, til he cam in to Jezrael.
