1 Ar-ari 18
1 Isu a kalpasan ti adu nga aldaw, immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Elias, iti maikatlo a tawen ti tikag a kunana, “Mapanka dumatag kenni Ahab ket iyegkonto iti tudo iti daga.”
After many days, the word of the Lord came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, “Go and show yourself to Ahab, so that I may grant rain upon the face of the earth.”
2 Napan dimmatag ni Elias kenni Ahab; ita, nakaro unay ti panagbisin idiay Samaria.
Therefore, Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. For there was a severe famine in Samaria.
3 Inayaban ni Ahab ni Abdias a mayordomo ti palasio. Ita, raraemen unay ni Abdias ni Yahweh,
And Ahab called Obadiah, the manager of his household. Now Obadiah feared the Lord greatly.
4 ta idi patpatayn ni Jezebel dagiti profeta ni Yahweh, inkuyog ni Abdias ti sangagasut a profeta ket inlemmengna ida iti dua a kueba, limapulo a profeta ti inlemmengna iti tunggal kueba ket pinakanna ida iti tinapay ken danum.
For when Jezebel was killing the prophets of the Lord, he took one hundred prophets, and concealed them, fifty and fifty, in caves. And he fed them with bread and water.
5 Kinuna ni Ahab kenni Abdias, “Sursorenta ti daga, iti amin nga ubbog ken waig. Bareng makasarakta kadagiti ruot ken maispalta dagiti kabalio ken mulo, tapno saan a matay amin dagiti ayup.”
Then Ahab said to Obadiah, “Go into the land, to all fountains of water, and to all the valleys, for perhaps we will be able to find plants, and save the horses and mules, so that the beasts of burden may not perish entirely.”
6 Nagnumoanda ngarud no ania a daga ti sursuren ti tunggal maysa kadakuada tapno agbirok iti danum ket nagsinada iti turongen.
And they divided the regions among themselves, so that they might travel through them. Ahab went one way alone, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
7 Bayat nga adda ni Abdias iti dalan, nairana a nasabat isuna ni Elias. Nabigbig ni Abdias isuna ket nagrukob iti daga. Kinunana, “Sika kadi dayta, apok nga Elias?”
And while Obadiah was on the way, Elijah met him. And when he had recognized him, he fell on his face, and he said, “Are you not my lord Elijah?”
8 Simmungbat ni Elias kenkuana, “Siak. Mapanmo ibaga iti apom, 'Kitaem, adda ditoy ni Elias.'”
And he responded to him: “I am. Go and tell your lord that Elijah is here.”
9 Simmungbat ni Abdias, “Ania ti nagbasolak ta iyawatmo ti adipenmo iti ima ni Ahab, tapno patayennak?
And he said: “How have I sinned that you would deliver me, your servant, into the hand of Ahab, so that he would put me to death?
10 Iti nagan ni Yahweh a Diosmo nga adda iti agnanayon, awan ti nasion wenno pagarian a saan a nangibaonan ti apok kadagiti tattaona tapno birukendaka. Tunggal ibaga ti nasion wenno pagarian, ‘Awan ditoy ni Elias,' pagsapataen ida ni Ahab nga ikarida a saandaka a mabirukan.
As the Lord your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom to which my lord has not sent, seeking you. And when all responded, ‘He is not here,’ he swore each kingdom and nation to an oath, because you were not found at all.
11 Ngem ita ibagam a, “Mapanka ket ibagam iti apom nga adda ditoy ni Elias.'
And now, you say to me, ‘Go and tell your lord that Elijah is here.’
12 Apaman a makaadayoak kenka, ipannaka ti Espiritu ni Yahweh iti lugar a saanko nga ammo. Ket inton mapanko ibaga kenni Ahab, ket saannaka a mabirukan, patayennakto. Ngem siak nga adipenmo, dinaydayawko ni Yahweh manipud iti kinaagtutubok.
And when I will have departed from you, the Spirit of the Lord will transport you to a place that I do not know. And entering, I will report to Ahab. And he, not finding you, will put me to death. Yet your servant has feared the Lord from his infancy.
13 Saan kadi a naibaga kenka apok, ti inaramidko idi pinatay ni Jezebel dagiti profeta ni Yahweh, no kasano nga inlemmengko ti sangagasut a profeta ni Yahweh babaen iti panangbingayko kadakuada iti saglilimapulo iti tunggal kueba ken pinakanko ida iti tinapay ken danum?
Has it not been revealed to you, my lord, what I did when Jezebel was killing the prophets of the Lord: how I hid one hundred men from the prophets of the Lord, fifty and fifty, in caves, and how I fed them with bread and water?
14 Ket ita ibagam, ‘Mapanka ket ibagam iti apom nga adda ditoy ni Elias,' tapno patayennak ni Ahab.”
And now you say: ‘Go and tell your lord that Elijah is here,’ so that he may kill me!”
15 Ket simmungbat ni Elias, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, a pagserserbiak, awan duadua a dumatagak kenni Ahab ita nga aldaw.”
And Elijah said, “As the Lord of hosts lives, before whose face I stand, this day I will appear to him.”
16 Isu a napan ni Abdias tapno sarakenna ni Ahab; imbagana kenni Ahab ti imbilin ni Elias kenkuana ket napan ni Ahab tapno sabatenna ni Elias.
Therefore, Obadiah went away to meet Ahab, and he reported to him. And Ahab went to meet Elijah.
17 Idi nakita ni Ahab ni Elias, kinunana kenkuana, “Sika kadi dayta, sika a mangrirriribuk iti Israel?”
And when he had seen him, he said, “Are you the one who is disturbing Israel?”
18 Simmungbat ni Elias, “Saanko a riniribuk ti Israel, ngem sika ken ti pamilia ti amam ti mangrirriribuk babaen iti panangtallikudyo kadagiti bilin ni Yahweh ken babaen iti panangsurotyo kadagiti Baal a didiosen.
And he said: “I have not troubled Israel. But it is you, and the house of your father, who have abandoned the commandments of the Lord, and have followed the Baals.
19 Ita ngarud, mangibaonka iti mapan mangibaga ket ummungem ti entero nga Israel idiay Bantay Carmel iti sangoanak agraman dagiti uppat a gasut ket limapulo a profeta ni Baal ken ti uppat a gasut a profeta ni Asera a ti pangpangananda ket iti lamisaan ni Jezebel.”
Yet truly now, send and gather to me all of Israel, on Mount Carmel, with the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal, and the four hundred prophets of the sacred groves, who eat from the table of Jezebel.”
20 Isu a pinaayaban amin ni Ahab dagiti tattao iti Israel ket inummongda dagiti profeta idiay Bantay Carmel.
Ahab sent to all the sons of Israel, and he gathered together the prophets on mount Carmel.
21 Immasideg ni Elias kadagiti amin a tattao ket kinunana, “Kasano pay kabayag ti panagduaduayo? No ni Yahweh ti Dios, surotenyo isuna. Ngem no ni Baal ti Dios, surotenyo ngarud isuna.” Ngem saan a simmungbat kenkuana dagiti tattao.
Then Elijah, drawing near to all the people, said: “How long will you waver between two sides? If the Lord is God, follow him. But if Baal is, then follow him.” And the people did not respond a word to him.
22 Ket kinuna ni Elias kadagiti tattao, “Siak, siak laengen ti nabati a profeta ni Yahweh, ngem dagiti profeta ni Baal ket uppat a gasut ket lima pulo a tattao.
And Elijah said again to the people: “I alone remain as a prophet of the Lord. But the prophets of Baal are four hundred and fifty men.
23 Ipaayandakami ngarud iti dua a baka. Bay-anyo a mangpilida iti maysa a baka a para kadakuada ket partienda daytoy sada iparabaw kadagiti kayo, ngem saanda a pasgedan daytoy. Kalpasanna, partiek ti sabali pay a baka ket iparabawko iti kayo, ket saanko a pasgedan daytoy.
Let two oxen be given to us. And let them choose one ox for themselves, and, cutting it into pieces, let them set it on the wood. But they may not place fire under it. And I will prepare the other ox, and set it on the wood. But I will not place fire under it.
24 Kalpasanna, umawagkayo iti nagan ti diosyo, ket umawagakto met iti nagan ni Yahweh, ket ti Dios a sumungbat babaen iti apuy, isuna ti Dios.” Isu a simmungbat amin dagiti tattao ket kinunada, “Nasayaat daytoy.”
Call upon the names of your gods. And I will call on the name of my Lord. And the God who will have heeded with fire, let him be God.” And in response, all the people said, “Excellent proposition.”
25 Kinuna ngarud ni Elias kadagiti profeta ni Baal, “Mangpilikayo iti maysa a baka ket umunakayo a mangisagana iti daytoy, ta adukayo a tattao. Kalpasanna, umawagkayo iti nagan ti diosyo, ngem saanyo a pasgedan ti nakaiparabawan dagiti karne ti baka.”
Then Elijah said to the prophets of Baal: “Choose for yourselves one ox, and prepare it first. For you are many. And call on the names of your gods, but do not place fire under it.”
26 Innalada ti baka a naited kadakuada ket pinartida, ket immawagda iti nagan ni Baal manipud iti bigat agingga iti tengnga ti aldaw a kunkunada, “Baal, denggendakami.” Ngem awan ti timek, wenno siasinoman a simmungbat. Nagsalsalada iti aglawlaw ti altar nga inaramidda.
And when they had taken an ox, which he had given to them, they prepared it. And they called on the name of Baal, from morning even until midday, saying, “O Baal, heed us.” And there was no voice, nor did anyone respond. And so they leaped upon the altar that they had made.
27 Idi katengngaan ti aldaw, rinabak ida ni Elias ket kinunana, “Pigsaanyo ti umasug! Maysa isuna a dios! Nalabit nga agpanpanunot isuna, wenno agpabpabang-ar, wenno agdaldaliasat, wenno nalabit a matmaturog isuna a nasken a riingen.”
And when it was now midday, Elijah ridiculed them, saying: “Cry out with a louder voice. For he is a god, and perhaps he is talking, or at an inn, or on a journey, or certainly he may be asleep, and must be awakened.”
28 Isu nga impigpigsada ti panagasugda ket sinugsugatda dagiti bagbagida a kas iti kadawyan nga ar-aramidenda babaen kadagiti kampilan ken gayang agingga a nagayus dagiti darada kadagiti bagbagida.
Then they cried out with a loud voice, and they cut themselves, in accord with their ritual, with knives and lancets, until they were entirely covered in blood.
29 Limmabas ti katengngaan ti aldaw, ket umas-asugda latta agingga iti tiempo ti panagidaton iti pangrabii a daton, ngem awan ti timek wenno siasinoman a simmungbat; awan ti siasinoman a nangipangag kadagiti panagas-asugda.
Then, after midday had passed, and they were prophesying, the time had arrived when the sacrifice is usually offered. And there was no voice heard, neither did anyone heed or respond to the praying.
30 Ket kinuna ni Elias kadagiti amin a tattao, “Umasidegkayo kaniak,” ket immasideg kenkuana dagiti tattao. Ket tinarimaanna ti narba nga altar ni Yahweh.
Elijah said to all the people, “Draw near to me.” And as the people were drawing near to him, he repaired the altar of the Lord, which had been torn down.
31 Nangala ni Elias iti sangapulo ket dua a bato, ibagbagi ti tunggal bato dagiti sangapulo ket dua a tribu dagiti annak ni Jacob—ni Jacob ti immayan ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana, “Ti naganmonto ket Israel.”
And he took twelve stones, in accord with the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord came, saying, “Israel shall be your name.”
32 Babaen kadagiti batbato, nangaramid isuna iti altar iti nagan ni Yahweh, ket nangkali isuna iti kanal iti lawlaw ti altar a makalaon iti sangapulo ket lima a litro ti bukbukel.
And he built from the stones an altar to the name of the Lord. And he made a trench for water, like two furrows of plowed land, all around the altar.
33 Ket inkabilna dagiti kayo a pagsungrod ken pinartina ti baka, ket imparabawna dagiti karne ti baka kadagiti kayo. Ket kinunana, “Punnoenyo dagiti uppat a karamba iti danum ket ibukbokyo iti mapuoran a daton ken iti kayo.”
And he arranged the wood, and he cut the ox into pieces, and he placed it on the wood.
34 Ket kinunana, “Piduaenyo,” ket piniduada. Ket kinunana, “Maminsan pay,” ket inaramidda ti imbilinna nga aramidenda.
And he said, “Fill four containers with water, and pour it over the holocaust, and over the wood.” And again, he said, “Do this a second time.” And when they had done it a second time, he said, “Do it also a third time.” And they did so a third time.
35 Nagayus ti danum iti likmut ti altar ket napno ti kanal.
And the water was running down around the altar, and the pit of the trench was filled with water.
36 Idi dumteng ti oras a panagidaton iti pangrabii a daton, immasideg ni Elias ket kinunana, “O Yahweh a Dios ni Abraham, ni Isaac, ken Israel, ipakaammom ita nga aldaw a sika ti Dios iti Israel, ken siak ti adipenmo, ken inaramidko amin dagitoy a banbanag nga imbilinmo.
And when it was now time for the holocaust to be offered, the prophet Elijah, drawing near, said: “O Lord, God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Israel, reveal this day that you are the God of Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have acted, in all these things, in accord with your precept.
37 Denggennak, O Yahweh, denggennak, tapno maammoan dagitoy a tattao, a sika O Yahweh, ket Dios, ken insublim manen dagiti pusoda kenka.”
Heed me, O Lord, heed me, so that this people may learn that you are the Lord God, and that you have converted their heart again.”
38 Ket nagtinnag ti apuy ni Yahweh ket inkisapna ti daton a mapuoran, agraman dagiti kayo, dagiti batbato, ken ti tapok ken pinagmagana dagiti danum nga adda iti kanal.
Then the fire of the Lord fell down and devoured the holocaust, and the wood, and the stones, and even the dust, and it absorbed the water that was in the trench.
39 Idi nakita dagiti amin a tattao daytoy, nagpaklebda ket kinunada, “Ni Yahweh ti Dios! Ni Yahweh ti Dios!”
And when all the people had seen it, they fell upon their face, and they said: “The Lord himself is God! The Lord himself is God!”
40 Isu a kinuna ni Elias kadakuada, “Tiliwenyo dagiti profeta ni Baal. Saanyo nga ipalubos nga adda uray maysa a makalibas kadakuada.” Innalada ngarud ida ket inyapan ni Elias dagiti profeta ni Baal iti waig ti Kison ket pinatayna ida sadiay.
And Elijah said to them, “Apprehend the prophets of Baal, and do not let even one of them escape.” And when they had apprehended them, Elijah led them down to the torrent Kishon, and he put them to death there.
41 Kinuna ni Elias kenni Ahab, “Tumakderka, manganka ken uminomka, ta mangngegko ti daranudor ti napigsa a tudo.”
And Elijah said to Ahab “Ascend; eat and drink. For there is the sound of an abundance of rain.”
42 Isu a napan ni Ahab tapno mangan ken uminom. Ket simmang-at ni Elias iti tuktok ti Carmel, indumogna ti rupana iti nagbaetan dagiti tumengna.
Ahab ascended, so that he might eat and drink. But Elijah ascended to the top of Carmel, and bending down to the ground, he placed his face between his knees.
43 Kinuna ni Elias iti adipenna, “Sumang-atka ita, tannawagam ti baybay.” Simmang-at ti adipenna ket kimmita ket kinunana, “Awan pulos ti nakitak.” Isu a kinuna ni Elias, “Mapanka manen, iti maminpito a daras.”
And he said to his servant, “Ascend, and gaze out toward the sea.” And when he had ascended, and had contemplated, he said, “There is nothing.” And again, he said to him, “Return seven times.”
44 Iti maikapito a daras, kinuna ti adipen, “Kitaem, adda ulep nga agpangpangato manipud iti baybay, a kas iti kabassit ti dakulap ti maysa a tao.” Insungbat ni Elias, “Sumang-atka ket ibagam kenni Ahab, 'Isaganam ti karwahem ket sumalogkan sakbay a pasardengennaka ti tudo iti panagawidmo.'”
And at the seventh time, behold, a little cloud ascended from the sea like the footstep of a man. And he said: “Ascend, and say to Ahab, ‘Yoke your chariot, and descend; otherwise, the rain may prevent you.’”
45 Ket napasamak nga iti apagbiit, nanglangeb ti tangatang nga addaan kadagiti ulep ken angin, ket nagtudo iti napigsa. Limmugan ni Ahab ket napan idiay Jezreel,
And as he was turning himself this way and that, behold, the heavens were darkened, and there were clouds and wind, and a great rainstorm occurred. And so Ahab, going up, went away to Jezreel.
46 ngem adda kenni Elias ti pannakabalin ni Yahweh. Binareksanna ti kagayna ket nagtaray agingga a naun-unaanna ni Ahab a dimmanon iti pagserkan ti Jezreel.
And the hand of the Lord was upon Elijah. And cinching his waist, he ran before Ahab, until he arrived at Jezreel.
