Sie Tokosra 21
1 Oasr ima in grape se lun mwet se pangpang Naboth, oan apkuran nu ke inkul fulat sel Tokosra Ahab in acn Jezreel.
And it came to pass after these events, that Naboth the Yizre'elite had a vineyard, which was in Yizre'el, near the palace of Achab the king of Samaria.
2 Sie len ah Ahab el fahk nu sel Naboth, “Use luk ima in grape se lom an. Ke oan apkuran nu ke lohm sik uh, nga lungse orekmakin nu ke ima in mahsrik. Nga ac sot sie ima in grape ma wo liki, ku kom fin lungse nga in molela, na nga ac sot sie moul fal nu kac.”
And Achab spoke unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that it may serve me for a herb-garden, because it is near unto my house; and I will give thee in its stead a vineyard better than it; [or, ] if it seem good in thy eyes, I will give thee the money, the value of the same.
3 Naboth el fahk, “Ima in grape se inge usru se luk sin mwet matu luk ah. LEUM GOD El tia ku in lela ngan sot lom.”
And Naboth said to Achab, Far be it from me before the Lord, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.
4 Tokosra Ahab el som nu lohm sel, ac el kasrkusrak ac arulana supwar ke ma Naboth el fahk nu sel. El ona fin mwe oan kial, ac forang nu pesinka ac tiana mongo.
And Achab came into his house low-spirited and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Yizre'elite had spoken to him, when he said, I will not give unto thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid himself down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no food.
5 Jezebel, mutan kial, el som nu yorol ac siyuk sel, “Mea aktoasrye kom an? Efu ku kom tia mongo?”
But Izebel his wife came to him, and spoke unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad! and why eatest thou no food?
6 Ac Ahab el fahk, “Nga toasrkin kas ma Naboth el fahk nu sik ah. Nga oru ngan molela ima in grape se lal, ku fin wo sel nga in sang sie pac ima in grape aolla ima lal ah, tuh pa el fahk mu nga tia ku in eis ima se lal.”
And he said unto her, Because I spoke unto Naboth the Yizre'elite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee a vineyard in its stead; but he hath said, I will not give unto thee my vineyard.
7 Jezebel el fahk, “Na mea, tia tokosra se pa kom? Tukakek, mongoi ac enganak. Nga ac eisla ima in grape se lal Naboth ac sot lom!”
Then said unto him Izebel his wife, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, eat bread, and let thy heart be merry: I will myself give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre'elite.
8 Na Jezebel el simusla kutu leta, ac sainiya inel Ahab kac, siliya ke sil lal ah, ac supwalik nu sin mwet pwapa fulat ac mwet kol in acn Jezreel.
So she wrote letters in Achab's name, and sealed them with his seal; and she sent the letters unto the elders and unto the nobles who were in his city, and who dwelt near Naboth.
9 Leta ingan fahk ouinge: “Sulkakinelik sie len in lalo ac pangoneni mwet uh, na sang Naboth elan muta ke acn in muta fulat.
And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and cause Naboth to sit at the head of the people;
10 Sokak luo mwet koluk elah an in orek loh kikiap lainul ye mutal ac fahk mu el selngawi God oayapa tokosra. Na kowos usalla nu likin siti uh, ac tanglal nwe ke el misa.”
And seat two men, worthless fellows, opposite to him, and let them bear witness against him, saying, Thou hast blasphemed God and the king; and then lead him forth, and stone him, that he may die.
11 Mwet pwapa fulat ac mwet kol in acn Jezreel elos orala ma Jezebel el sapkin.
And the men of his city, the elders and the nobles, those who dwelt in his city, did as Izebel had sent unto them, as was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
12 Elos fahkelik len in lalo sac, ac pangoneni mwet uh, ac sang nien muta fulat sac nu sel Naboth.
They proclaimed a fast, and caused Naboth to sit at the head of the people.
13 Mwet koluk elah luo ah kikiap ac fahk ye mutun mwet uh mu Naboth el selngawi God ac tokosra. Ouinge utukla el nu likin siti uh, ac tatngal el nwe ke na el misa.
And there came in two men, worthless fellows, and seated themselves opposite to him; and these worthless men testified against him, against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth hath blasphemed God and the king. Then they led him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
14 Na kas kacl supweyukla nu sel Jezebel fahk mu, “Naboth el anwuki tari.”
And they sent to Izebel, saying, Naboth hath been stoned, and is dead.
15 Ke na pacl se kas inge sonol Jezebel, el fahk nu sel Ahab, “Naboth el misa. Fahla eis lom ima in grape se ma el tuh srunga kom in molela.”
And it came to pass, when Izebel heard that Naboth had been stoned, and was dead, that Izebel said to Achab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre'elite, which he refused to give thee for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
16 In pacl sac na Ahab el som nu ke ima sac, in eisla lal.
And it came to pass, when Achab heard that Naboth was dead, that Achab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre'elite, to take possession of it.
17 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Elijah, mwet palu Tishbe,
And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
18 “Fahla nu yorol Ahab, tokosra Samaria. Kom ac konalak in ima in grape lal Naboth, su el akola in sruokya lal.
Arise, go down to meet Achab the king of Israel, who is in Samaria; behold he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to take possession of it.
19 Fahk nu sel lah nga, LEUM GOD, fahk ouinge, ‘Ya tukun kom akmuseya mwet sac tari an, kom ac eisla pac acn sel an?’ Fahkang nu sel lah nga fahk ouinge: ‘In acn se na ma kosro ngalngul uh lohi srah kacl Naboth we, elos ac lohela pac srah keim uh we!’”
And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, Hast thou murdered, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, In the place where the dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall the dogs lick thy blood, yes, thine also.
20 Ke Ahab el liyalak Elijah, el fahk, “Mwet lokoalok luk, ya kom sifilpa koneyuyak?” Elijah el topuk, “Aok, nga konekomyak. Ke sripen kom sang nufon kuiyom in oru ma koluk ye mutun LEUM GOD,
And Achab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O my enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to do what is evil in the eyes of the Lord.
21 ouinge LEUM GOD El fahk nu sum, ‘Nga ac fah sot mwe ongoiya lulap nu fom. Nga ac kunauskomla ac onela mukul nukewa in sou lom, mwet fusr ac mwet matu oana sie.
Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and I will sweep out after thee, and will cut off from Achab every male, and the guarded and fortified in Israel,
22 Sou lom ac fah oana sou lal Tokosra Jeroboam, wen natul Nebat, ac oapana sou lal Tokosra Baasha, wen natul Ahijah, mweyen kom akkasrkusrakyeyu ke kom kolla mwet Israel in oru ma koluk.’
And I will make thy house like the house of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, and like the house of Ba'sha the son of Achiyah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked [me] to anger, and induced Israel to sin.
23 A funu kacl Jezebel, LEUM GOD El fahk mu kosro ngalngul ac fah kangla manol in siti Jezreel.
And also concerning Izebel hath the Lord spoken, saying, The dogs shall eat Izebel in the valley of Yizre'el.
24 Kutena mwet in sou lom su misa in siti uh, ac fah mongola sin kosro ngalngul, ac kutena su misa likin siti uh, ac fah mongola sin won vulture.” (
Him that dieth of Achab in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the heavens eat.
25 Wangin sie mwet su sang insial nufon in oru ma koluk ye mutun LEUM GOD oana Ahab, ac el oru ouinge ke sripen Jezebel, mutan kial ah, el akkeye ma el oru.
But indeed there was none like unto Achab, who sold himself to do what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, to which Izebel his wife incited him.
26 El tuh oru mwe mwekin na yohk ke el alu nu ke ma sruloala, oana ma mwet Amor elos oru, aok elos su LEUM GOD El lusla liki facl sac ke mwet Israel elos utyak nu we.)
And he acted very abominably in following the idols, in all things just as had done the Emorites, whom the Lord had driven out from before the children of Israel.
27 Ke Elijah el kaskas tari, Ahab el salik nuknuk lal ac sarukla, ac nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa se. El srangesr mongo, ac el motul ke nuknuk yohk eoa, ac ke el forfor el asor ac toasr.
And it came to pass, when Achab heard these words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and slept in the sackcloth, and walked about barefooted.
28 LEUM GOD el fahk nu sel Elijah, mwet palu,
And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
29 “Ku kom tuni ac liye ke Ahab el arulana sisilya ye mutuk uh? Ke el oru ouinge uh, nga ac tila sang ongoiya nu sel ke pacl el moul. Ongoiya ac fah tuku nu fin sou lal Ahab ke pacl lun wen natul.”
Hast thou seen how Achab hath humbled himself before me? therefore, because he hath humbled himself before me, will I not bring the evil in his days: in the days of his son will I bring the evil upon his house.
