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.”
And the days are many, and the word of YHWH has been to Elijah in the third year, saying, “Go, appear to Ahab, and I give rain on the face of the ground”;
2 Napan dimmatag ni Elias kenni Ahab; ita, nakaro unay ti panagbisin idiay Samaria.
and Elijah goes to appear to Ahab. And the famine is severe in Samaria,
3 Inayaban ni Ahab ni Abdias a mayordomo ti palasio. Ita, raraemen unay ni Abdias ni Yahweh,
and Ahab calls to Obadiah, who [is] over the house—and Obadiah has been fearing YHWH 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.
and it comes to pass, in Jezebel’s cutting off the prophets of YHWH, that Obadiah takes one hundred prophets, and hides them, fifty men in a cave, and has sustained 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.”
and Ahab says to Obadiah, “Go through the land, to all fountains of waters, and to all the brooks, perhaps we find hay, and keep alive horse and mule, and do not cut off any of the livestock.”
6 Nagnumoanda ngarud no ania a daga ti sursuren ti tunggal maysa kadakuada tapno agbirok iti danum ket nagsinada iti turongen.
And they apportion the land to themselves, to pass over into it; Ahab has gone in one way by himself, and Obadiah has gone in 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 Obadiah [is] in the way, and behold, Elijah [is there] to meet him; and he discerns him, and falls on his face and says, “Are you he—my lord Elijah?”
8 Simmungbat ni Elias kenkuana, “Siak. Mapanmo ibaga iti apom, 'Kitaem, adda ditoy ni Elias.'”
And he says to him, “I [am]; go, say to your lord, Behold, Elijah.”
9 Simmungbat ni Abdias, “Ania ti nagbasolak ta iyawatmo ti adipenmo iti ima ni Ahab, tapno patayennak?
And he says, “What have I sinned, that you are giving your servant into the hand of Ahab—to 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.
Your God YHWH lives, if there is a nation and kingdom to where my lord has not sent to seek [for] you; and they said, He is not, then he caused the kingdom and the nation to swear, that it does not find you;
11 Ngem ita ibagam a, “Mapanka ket ibagam iti apom nga adda ditoy ni Elias.'
and now, you are saying, Go, say to your lord, Behold, Elijah;
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 it has been, I go from you, and the Spirit of YHWH lifts you up to where I do not know, and I have come to declare to Ahab, and he does not find you, and he has slain me; and your servant is fearing YHWH from my youth.
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 declared to my lord that which I have done in Jezebel’s slaying the prophets of YHWH, that I hide one hundred men of the prophets of YHWH, fifty by fifty in a cave, and sustained 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 are saying, Go, say to my lord, Behold, Elijah—and he has slain 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 says, “YHWH of Hosts lives, before whom I have stood, surely I appear to him today.”
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.
Obadiah goes to meet Ahab, and declares [it] to him, and Ahab goes to meet Elijah.
17 Idi nakita ni Ahab ni Elias, kinunana kenkuana, “Sika kadi dayta, sika a mangrirriribuk iti Israel?”
[And it] comes to pass at Ahab’s seeing Elijah that Ahab says to him, “Are you he—the troubler of 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 says, “I have not troubled Israel, but you and the house of your father, in your forsaking the commands of YHWH, and you go after the Ba‘alim;
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.”
and now, send, gather all Israel to me, to the Mount of Carmel, and the four hundred and fifty prophets of Ba‘al, and the four hundred prophets of Asherah who are eating at the table of Jezebel.”
20 Isu a pinaayaban amin ni Ahab dagiti tattao iti Israel ket inummongda dagiti profeta idiay Bantay Carmel.
And Ahab sends among all the sons of Israel, and gathers the prophets to the Mount of 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.
and Elijah comes near to all the people and says, “Until when are you leaping on the two branches? If YHWH [is] God, go after Him; and if Ba‘al, go after him”; and the people have not answered him a word.
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 says to the people, “I have been left, by myself, a prophet of YHWH; and the prophets of Ba‘al [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.
and let them give two bullocks to us, and they choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and place [it] on the wood, and place no fire; and I prepare the other bullock, and have put [it] on the wood, and I do not place fire—
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.”
and you have called in the name of your god, and I call in the Name of YHWH, and it has been, the god who answers by fire—He [is] the God.” And all the people answer and say, “The word [is] good.”
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.”
And Elijah says to the prophets of Ba‘al, “Choose one bullock for yourselves, and prepare [it] first, for you [are] the multitude, and call in the name of your god, and place no fire.”
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 they take the bullock that [one] gave to them, and prepare [it], and call in the name of Ba‘al from the morning even until the noon, saying, “O Ba‘al, answer us!” And there is no voice, and there is none answering; and they leap on the altar that one 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 it comes to pass, at noon, that Elijah mocks at them and says, “Call with a loud voice, for he [is] a god, for he is meditating, or pursuing, or on a journey; it may be he is asleep, and awakes.”
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.
And they call with a loud voice, and cut themselves, according to their ordinance, with swords and with spears, until a flowing of blood [is] on them;
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.
and it comes to pass, at the passing by of the noon, that they feign themselves prophets until the going up of the present, and there is no voice, and there is none answering, and there is none attending.
30 Ket kinuna ni Elias kadagiti amin a tattao, “Umasidegkayo kaniak,” ket immasideg kenkuana dagiti tattao. Ket tinarimaanna ti narba nga altar ni Yahweh.
And Elijah says to all the people, “Come near to me”; and all the people come near to him, and he repairs the altar of YHWH that is broken 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 Elijah takes twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of YHWH was, saying, “Israel is 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 builds an altar with the stones, in the Name of YHWH, and makes a trench, as about the space of two measures of seed, 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 arranges the wood, and cuts the bullock in pieces, and places [it] on the wood, and says, “Fill four pitchers of water, and pour [them] on the burnt-offering, and on the wood”;
34 Ket kinunana, “Piduaenyo,” ket piniduada. Ket kinunana, “Maminsan pay,” ket inaramidda ti imbilinna nga aramidenda.
and he says, “Do [it] a second time”; and they do [it] a second time; and he says, “Do [it] a third time”; and they do [it] a third time;
35 Nagayus ti danum iti likmut ti altar ket napno ti kanal.
and the water goes around the altar, and he has also filled the trench 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 it comes to pass, at the going up of the [evening] present, that Elijah the prophet comes near and says, “YHWH, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known today that You [are] God in Israel, and that I, Your servant, have done the whole of these things by Your word;
37 Denggennak, O Yahweh, denggennak, tapno maammoan dagitoy a tattao, a sika O Yahweh, ket Dios, ken insublim manen dagiti pusoda kenka.”
answer me, O YHWH, answer me, and this people [then] knows that You [are] YHWH God; and You have turned their heart backward.”
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.
And a fire falls [from] YHWH, and consumes the burnt-offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and it has licked up the water that [is] in the trench.
39 Idi nakita dagiti amin a tattao daytoy, nagpaklebda ket kinunada, “Ni Yahweh ti Dios! Ni Yahweh ti Dios!”
And all the people see, and fall on their faces, and say, “YHWH, He [is] the God! YHWH, He [is] the 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 says to them, “Catch the prophets of Ba‘al; do not let a man escape from them”; and they catch them, and Elijah brings them down to the Brook of Kishon, and slaughters them there.
41 Kinuna ni Elias kenni Ahab, “Tumakderka, manganka ken uminomka, ta mangngegko ti daranudor ti napigsa a tudo.”
And Elijah says to Ahab, “Go up, eat and drink, because of the sound of the noise of the shower.”
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.
And Ahab goes up to eat, and to drink, and Elijah has gone up to the top of Carmel, and he stretches himself out on the earth, and he places 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 says to his young man, “Now go up, look attentively [toward] the way of the sea”; and he goes up and looks attentively, and says, “There is nothing”; and he says, “Turn back,” 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 it comes to pass, at the seventh, that he says, “Behold, a little thickness as the palm of a man is coming up out of the sea.” And he says, “Go up, say to Ahab, Bind and go down, and the shower does not restrain 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 it comes to pass, in the meantime, that the heavens have become black—thick clouds and wind—and the shower is great; and Ahab rides, and goes 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 YHWH has been on Elijah, and he girds up his loins, and runs before Ahab, until your entering Jezreel.
