1 Ar-ari 19
1 Imbaga ni Ahab kenni Jezebel dagiti amin nga inaramid ni Elias, ken no kasano a pinapatayna dagiti amin a profeta ni Baal babaen iti kampilan.
Then Ahab reported to Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
2 Ket nangibaon ni Jezebel iti mensahero kenni Elias, a kunana, “Patayendak koma dagiti dios ken ad-adda pay iti dakes nga aramidenda kaniak, no saanko nga aramiden ti biagmo a kas iti biag ti maysa kadagidiay a natay a profeta, inton bigat iti kastoy met laeng nga oras.”
And so Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “May the gods do these things, and may they add these other things, if by this hour tomorrow I will not have made your life like the life of one of them.”
3 Idi nangngeg ni Elias dayta, nagrubwat isuna ken naglibas tapno maisalbar ti biagna ket napan idiay Beerseba, a masakupan ti Juda, ket imbatina sadiay ti adipenna.
Therefore, Elijah was afraid. And rising up, he went away to wherever his will would carry him. And he arrived in Beersheba of Judah. And he dismissed his servant there.
4 Ngem nagmalmalem a nagdaliasat isuna a nagturong idiay let-ang, ket nakadanon ken nagtugaw iti sirok ti kayo nga enebro. Kiniddawna a matay koman isuna, a kunana, “Saanakon a makaibtur, Yahweh, alaemon ti biagko, ta saanak a nasaysayaat ngem kadagiti natayen a kapuonak.”
And he continued on, into the desert, for one day’s journey. And when he had arrived, and was sitting under a juniper tree, he requested for his soul that he might die. And he said: “It is enough for me, O Lord. Take my soul. For I am no better than my fathers.”
5 Nagidda ngarud ken naturog isuna iti sirok ti kayo nga enebro; iti saan a ninamnama, maysa nga anghel iti nangsagid kenkuana ket kinunana, “Bumangonka ket manganka.”
And he stretched himself out, and he slept deeply in the shadow of the juniper tree. And behold, an Angel of the Lord touched him, and said to him, “Rise up and eat.”
6 Kimmita ni Elias, ket iti uloananna adda tinapay a nailuto kadagiti beggang ken sanga-karamba a danum. Isu a nangan ken imminon isuna ket nagidda manen.
He looked, and behold, at his head was bread baked under ashes, and a container of water. Then he ate and drank, and again he slept deeply.
7 Immay manen ti anghel ni Yahweh iti maikadua a gundaway ket sinagidna isuna ket kinunana, “Bumangonka ket manganka, gapu ta narigatto unay ti panagdaliasatmo.”
And the Angel of the Lord returned a second time, and touched him, and said to him: “Rise up, eat. For a great journey again stands before you.”
8 Isu a bimmangon isuna, nangan ken imminom, ket nagdaliasat isuna a nagturong idiay Horeb a bantay ti Dios, iti uppat a pulo nga aldaw ken uppat a pulo a rabii babaen iti pigsa nga impaay dayta a taraon.
And he when he had risen up, he ate and drank. And he walked by the strength of that food for forty days and forty nights, as far as the mountain of God, Horeb.
9 Napan isuna iti maysa a rukib sadiay ken nagtalinaed iti daytoy. Ket immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenkuana ket kinunana, “Ania ti ar-aramidem ditoy, Elias?”
And when he had arrived there, he stayed in a cave. And behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
10 Insungbat ni Elias, “Impasnekko ti nagserbi kenni Yahweh a Dios a mannakabalin amin, ta tinallikudan dagiti tattao ti Israel ti tulagmo, dinadaelda dagiti altarmo, ket pinatayda dagiti profetam babaen iti kampilan. Ita, siak laengen ti nabati ket kayatda pay a pukawen ti biagko.”
And he responded: “I have been very zealous on behalf of the Lord, the God of hosts. For the sons of Israel have forsaken your covenant. They have torn down your altars. They have killed your prophets with the sword. I alone remain. And they are seeking my life, so that they may take it away.”
11 Insungbat ni Yahweh, “Rummuarka ket agtakderka iti bantay iti sangoanak.” Ket limmabas ni Yahweh, ket adda napigsa unay nga angin a nangdungpar kadagiti bantay ken nangburak kadagiti batbato iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, ngem awan ni Yahweh iti angin. Kalpasan ti angin, naggin-gined, ngem awan ni Yahweh iti ginggined.
And he said to him, “Go out and stand on the mount before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by. And there was a great and strong wind, tearing apart the mountains, and crushing the rocks before the Lord. But the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind, there was an earthquake. But the Lord was not in the earthquake.
12 Kalpasan ti gingined immay ti apuy, ngem awan ni Yahweh iti apuy. Kalpasan ti apuy, adda immay a naalumamay a timek.
And after the earthquake, there was a fire. But the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire, there was the whisper of a gentle breeze.
13 Idi nangngeg ni Elias ti timek, imbalkotna iti rupana ti kagayna, rimmuar, ken nagtakder iti pagserkan ti rukib. Ket immay ti timek kenkuana a nagkuna, “Ania ti ar-aramidem ditoy, Elias?
And when Elijah had heard it, he covered his face with his cloak, and going out, he stood at the entrance of the cave. And behold, there was a voice to him, saying: “What are you doing here, Elijah?” And he responded:
14 Insungbat ni Elias, “Impasnekko ti nagserbi kenni Yahweh a Dios a mannakabalin amin, gapu ta tinallikudan dagiti tattao ti Israel ti tulagmo, dinadaelda dagiti altarmo, ket pinapatayda dagiti profetam babaen iti kampilan. Ita, siak laengen ti nabati ket kayatda met a pukawen ti biagko.”
“I have been very zealous on behalf of the Lord, the God of hosts. For the sons of Israel have forsaken your covenant. They have torn down your altars. They have killed your prophets with the sword. I alone remain. And they are seeking my life, so that they may take it away.”
15 Ket kinuna ni Yahweh kenkuana, “Agsublika ket mapanka iti let-ang ti Damasco, ket inton makasangpetka pulotamto ni Hazael nga agbalin nga ari ti Aram,
And the Lord said to him: “Go, and return on your way, through the desert, to Damascus. And when you have arrived there, you shall anoint Hazael as king over Syria.
16 ket pulotamto ni Jehu nga anak ni Nimshi nga agbalin nga ari ti Israel, ket pulotamto ni Eliseo nga anak ni Safat a taga-Abel Mehola nga agbalin a profeta a sumukat kenka.
And you shall anoint Jehu, the son of Nimshi, as king over Israel. But Elisha, the son of Shaphat, who is from Abelmeholah, you shall anoint to be a prophet in your place.
17 Ket mapasamak a papatayento ni Jehu ti siasinoman a makalasat iti kampilan ni Hazael, ken papatayento met ni Eliseo ti siasinoman a makalasat iti kampilan ni Jehu.
And this shall be: whoever will have escaped from the sword of Hazael, will be slain by Jehu. And whoever will have escaped from the sword of Jehu, will be put to death by Elisha.
18 Ngem mangibatiak para kaniak iti pito ribu a tattao ti Israel a saan pay a nagparintumeng kenni Baal, ken saan pay a nangagek kenkuana.”
And I will leave for myself seven thousand men in Israel, whose knees have not been bent before Baal, and every mouth that has not adored him, kissing hands.”
19 Pimmanaw ngarud ni Elias sadiay ket nasarakanna ni Eliseo nga anak ni Safat nga agar-arado, nga addaan kadagiti sangapulo ket dua a paris a naisangol a baka iti sangoananna. Pagar-aradona ti maika sangapulo ket dua. Immasideg ni Elias kenni Eliseo ket inkabilna ti kagayna kenkuana.
Therefore, Elijah, setting out from there, found Elisha, the son of Shaphat, plowing with twelve yoke of oxen. And he himself was one of those who were plowing with the twelve yoke of oxen. And when Elijah had gone to him, he cast his mantle over him.
20 Kalpasanna, pinanawan ni Eliseo dagiti baka ket kinamakamna ni Elias; kinunana, “Pangngaasim ta palubosannak a mangagek iti amak ken inak, kalpasanna sumurotak kenka.” Ket kinuna ni Elias kenkuana, “Agsublika, ngem panunotem ti inaramidko kenka.”
And immediately, leaving behind the oxen, he ran after Elijah. And he said, “I beg you to let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.” And he said to him: “Go, and turn back. For what was mine to do, I have done concerning you.”
21 Pimmanaw ngarud ni Eliseo iti ayan ni Elias ket innalana dagiti naisangol a baka, pinartina dagiti ayup, ket inlutona ti karne babaen iti kayo a sangol ti baka; ket intedna daytoy kadagiti tattao, ket nanganda. Ket nagrubuat isuna a simmurot kenni Elias, ket nagserbi kenkuana.
Then, turning back from him, he took a pair of oxen, and he slew them. And he cooked the flesh with the plow of the oxen. And he gave it to the people, and they ate. And rising up, he went and followed Elijah, and he ministered to him.
