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.
After these things, Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel, next to the palace of Ahab 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.”
Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money.”
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.”
Naboth said to Ahab, “May the LORD forbid me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you!”
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.
Ahab came into his house sullen and angry because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him, for he had said, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He laid himself down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
5 Jezebel, mutan kial, el som nu yorol ac siyuk sel, “Mea aktoasrye kom an? Efu ku kom tia mongo?”
But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, “Why is your spirit so sad that you eat no bread?”
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.”
He said to her, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, ‘Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.’ He answered, ‘I will not give you 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!”
Jezebel his wife said to him, “Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”
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 Ahab’s name and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles who were in his city, who lived with 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.
She wrote in the letters, saying, “Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high amongst 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.”
Set two men, wicked fellows, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, ‘You cursed God and the king!’ Then carry him out, and stone him to death.”
11 Mwet pwapa fulat ac mwet kol in acn Jezreel elos orala ma Jezebel el sapkin.
The men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had instructed them in the letters which she had written and sent to 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 set Naboth on high amongst 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.
The two men, the wicked fellows, came in and sat before him. The wicked fellows testified against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth cursed God and the king!” Then they carried him out of the city and stoned him to death with stones.
14 Na kas kacl supweyukla nu sel Jezebel fahk mu, “Naboth el anwuki tari.”
Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has 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.”
When Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, Jezebel said to Ahab, “Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.”
16 In pacl sac na Ahab el som nu ke ima sac, in eisla lal.
When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
17 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Elijah, mwet palu Tishbe,
The LORD’s word 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 Ahab king of Israel, who dwells in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has 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!’”
You shall speak to him, saying, ‘The LORD says, “Have you killed and also taken possession?”’ You shall speak to him, saying, ‘The LORD says, “In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs will lick your blood, even yours.”’”
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,
Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?” He answered, “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in the LORD’s sight.
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 on you, and will utterly sweep you away and will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, and him who is shut up and him who is left at large 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.’
I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation with which you have provoked me to anger, and have made Israel to sin.”
23 A funu kacl Jezebel, LEUM GOD El fahk mu kosro ngalngul ac fah kangla manol in siti Jezreel.
The LORD also spoke of Jezebel, saying, “The dogs will eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel.
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.” (
The dogs will eat he who dies of Ahab in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat he who dies in the field.”
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 there was no one like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
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.)
He did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom the LORD cast out 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.
When Ahab heard those words, he tore his clothes, put sackcloth on his body, fasted, lay in sackcloth, and went about despondently.
28 LEUM GOD el fahk nu sel Elijah, mwet palu,
The LORD’s word 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.”
“See how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but I will bring the evil on his house in his son’s day.”
