Sie Tokosra 19
1 Tokosra Ahab el srumun nu sel Jezebel, mutan kial, ke ma nukewa ma Elijah el oru, ac ke el tuh uniya nufon mwet palu lal Baal.
Then Ahab reported to Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
2 Na Jezebel el sapla nu sel Elijah ac fahk, “Nga fin tia folokin nu sum, ke pacl se inge lutu, ke ouiya se na ma kom oru nu sin mwet palu ma kom uniya ah, lela god uh in uniyuwi ngan misa!”
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 Elijah el sangeng ac kaing in suk moul lal. El eis mwet kulansap se lal ac som nu Beersheba in acn Judah. El filiya mwet kulansap sac we,
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 ac el fahsr ke len fon se uten acn uh. El muta mongla ye lulin sak soko ac kena elan misa. El pre ac fahk, “LEUM GOD, arulana upala! Eisla moul luk! Fal na ngan misa!”
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 El ona ye sak soko ac motulla. In kitin pacl ah na sie lipufan lun LEUM GOD kahlilya ac fahk, “Tukakek mongo.”
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 El ngutalik, ngetot ngetma nwe liyauk srukwal in flao se manman fin eot fol, ac sufa in kof soko oan apkuran nu ke sifal. El mongoi ac nimkofi ac sifilpa ona.
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 Lipufan sac el sifil foloko, ac oaksalak pacl se akluo ac fahk, “Tukakek mongoi, mweyen kom fin tia, ac arulana upa nu sum in fahsr.”
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 Elijah el tukakek ac mongoi ac nimkofi, na mongoi lal ah sang ku lal in fahsr len angngaul nu fineol mutal Sinai.
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 Ke el sun acn we, el utyak nu in sie luf in motulla we ke fong se. In pacl sac na, LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sel ac fahk, “Elijah, mea kom oru inge uh?”
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 El topuk, “LEUM GOD Kulana, kom mukena pa nga kulansupu in pacl nukewa. Tusruktu mwet Israel elos pilesrala wulela lalos yurum, ac kunausla loang lom uh, ac uniya mwet palu lom nukewa. Nga mukena pa lula sin mwet palu uh, ac elos suk pac in uniyuwi!”
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 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Illa ac tu ye mutuk fin mangon eol uh.” Ouinge LEUM GOD El fahla alukela, ac supwama eng na upa se, ac fulungya eol uh ac fukulya eot uh, a LEUM GOD El wangin in eng uh. Ke eng uh tui, na kusrusr se sikyak, tuh LEUM GOD El wangin pac in kusrusr sac.
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 Tukun kusrusr sac, na oasr e se, tuh LEUM GOD El wangin in e sac. Ac tukun e sac, oasr pusra na srisrik ac fisrasr se.
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 Ke Elijah el lohng, el afinya mutal ke nuknuk lik lal, ac el illa ac tu ke mutun luf sac. Na pusra se fahk nu sel, “Elijah, mea kom oru inge uh?”
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 El topuk, “LEUM GOD Kulana, kom mukena pa nga kulansupu in pacl nukewa. Tusruktu mwet Israel elos pilesrala wulela lalos yurum, ac kunausla loang lom uh, ac uniya mwet palu lom nukewa. Nga mukena pa lula sin mwet palu uh, ac elos suk pac in uniyuwi.”
“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 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Folokla nu yen turangang uten acn Damascus, ac utyak nu in siti uh, ac mosrwella Hazael elan tokosra lun Syria.
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 Mosrwella Jehu wen natul Nimshi elan tokosra lun Israel, ac mosrwella Elisha wen natul Shaphat mwet Abel Meholah tuh elan mwet palu aol kom.
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 Kutena mwet su kaingla ac tia anwuki sel Hazael ac fah anwuki sel Jehu, a mwet su kaingla lukel Jehu, ac fah anwuki sel Elisha.
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 Tusruktu nga ac fah likiya mwet itkosr tausin in moulna fin acn Israel, aok elos nukewa su inse pwaye nu sik ac tia alu nu sel Baal, ku ngok mutun ma sruloala lal.”
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 Elijah el som tuh konalak Elisha ke el kihling ima lal ke plau. Oasr u in ox singoul sie fahsr meet lukel, kais lukwa ox ke u se, ac Elisha el orekmakin u se ma fahsr oetok. Elijah el eisla nuknuk se afinyal ac filiya facl Elisha.
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 Elisha el filiya ox natul, ac kasrusr tokol Elijah ac fahk, “Kom ku in soaneyu ngan som wilkas nu sel papa ac nina, na nga fah tuku wi kom.” Ac Elijah el fahk, “Wona. Folokot, nga tia ikol kom!”
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 Na Elisha el som nu ke ox lukwa natul ac uniya, ac etongkin mwe palpal kac in sang akmoulyela ikwa uh, na el sang kiteya mwet uh. Toko el som welul Elijah in mwet kasru lal.
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.
