1 Tukun Tokosra Ahab lun Israel el misa, acn Moab tuyak ac alein nu sin Israel.
Then, after the death of Ahab, Moab transgressed against Israel.
2 Tokosra Ahaziah lun Israel el putatla ke sawalsrisr fulat in lohm sel in acn Samaria ac arulana musalla manol. Ouinge el supwala kutu mwet lal in som lolngok yorol Baalzebub, god lun acn Ekron, sie siti in acn Philistia, in konauk lah el ac kwela ku tia.
And Ahaziah fell down through the lattices of his upper room, which he had in Samaria, and he was injured. And he sent messengers, saying to them, “Go, consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron, as to whether I may be able to survive this infirmity of mine.”
3 A sie lipufan lun LEUM GOD sapkin nu sel Elijah, mwet palu in acn Tishbe, elan som osun nu sin mwet lal Tokosra Ahaziah ac siyuk selos, “Efu kowos ku som lolngok yorol Baalzebub, god lun Ekron? Ya mweyen kowos nunku mu wangin god lun Israel?
And an Angel of the Lord spoke to Elijah, the Tishbite, saying: “Rise up, and ascend to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria. And you shall say to them: ‘Is there not a God in Israel, so that you would go to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron?
4 Fahk nu sel tokosra lah LEUM GOD El fahk, ‘Kom ac fah tia kwela. Kom ac misa!’” Elijah el oru oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin,
For this reason, thus says the Lord: From the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.’” And Elijah went away.
5 ac mwet ma supweyuk sel tokosra inge folokla nu yorol. Na tokosra el siyuk, “Efu kowos ku sa na foloko?”
And the messengers returned to Ahaziah. And he said to them, “Why have you returned?”
6 Elos topuk, “Kut sun mwet se su fahk nu sesr kut in foloko fahk nu sum mu LEUM GOD El fahk nu sum ouinge, ‘Efu kom ku supweyuk mwet in som lolngok yorol Baalzebub, god lun Ekron? Ya mweyen kom nunku mu wangin god lun Israel? Kom ac tia kwela. Kom ac misa!’”
But they responded to him: “A man met us, and he said to us: ‘Go, and return to the king who sent you. And you shall say to him: Thus says the Lord: Is it because there was no God in Israel that you are sending to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore, from the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.’”
7 Ac tokosra el siyuk, “Fuka luman mwet sacn?”
And he said to them: “What was the appearance and dress of that man, who met you and who spoke these words?”
8 Ac elos topuk, “El nukum nuknuk lik se orekla ke unen kosro, ac losya infulwal ke pel se orekla ke kulun kosro.” Na tokosra el fahk, “Elijah pa mwet sacn!”
So they said, “A hairy man, with a belt of leather wrapping his waist.” And he said, “It is Elijah, the Tishbite.”
9 Na el supwala sie mwet leum lun mwet mweun wi mwet lumngaul lal in som usalu Elijah. Mwet leum sac konalak ke el muta fin inging soko ac el fahk nu sel Elijah, “Mwet lun God, tokosra el sap kom in oatui.”
And he sent to him a leader of fifty, with the fifty who were under him. And he ascended to him, sitting at the top of a hill, and he said, “Man of God, the king commanded that you should descend.”
10 Elijah el topuk, “Nga fin mwet lun God, lela e in tuku inkusrao me unikomi ac mwet lom ingan!” In pacl sacna, e tuku inkusrao me ac uniya leum sac ac mwet lal ah.
And responding, Elijah said to the leader of fifty, “If I am a man of God, let fire from heaven descend and devour you and your fifty.” And then fire from heaven descended and devoured him and the fifty who were with him.
11 Tokosra el supwala pac sie leum wi mwet lumngaul lal, su som ac fahk nu sel Elijah, “Mwet lun God, tokosra el sap kom in oatui ingena!”
And again, he sent to him another leader of fifty, and the fifty with him. And he said to him, “Man of God, thus says the king: Hurry, descend.”
12 Elijah el topuk, “Nga fin mwet lun God, lela e in tuku inkusrao me unikomi ac mwet lom ingan!” In pacl sacna, e lun God tuku lucng me ac uniya leum sac ac mwet lal ah.
Responding, Elijah said, “If I am a man of God, let fire from heaven descend and devour you and your fifty.” And fire from heaven descended and devoured him and his fifty.
13 Na tokosra el sifilpa supwala sie pac leum wi mwet lumngaul lal. El utyak nu fin inging soko ah, sikukmutunteyak ye mutal Elijah ac kwafe sel, “Mwet lun God, pakoten nu sik ac mwet luk inge. Nimet unikuti!
Again, he sent a third leader of fifty men and the fifty who were with him. And when he had arrived, he bent his knees before Elijah, and he pleaded with him, and said: “Man of God, do not choose to despise my life and the lives of your servants who are with me.
14 Leum luo meet ah wi mwet laltal ah anwuki ke e inkusrao me. A nga siyuk kom in nunak munas ac pakoten nu sik!”
Behold, fire from heaven descended and devoured the two previous leaders of fifty and the fifties who were with them. But now I beg you to take pity on my life.”
15 Lipufan lun LEUM GOD fahk nu sel Elijah, “Oatui welul ac nimet sangeng.” Ouinge Elijah el wi mwet leum sac som nu yorol tokosra
Then the Angel of the Lord spoke to Elijah, saying, “Descend with him; fear not.” And so, he arose and descended with him to the king.
16 ac fahk nu sel, “Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El fahk, ‘Mweyen kom supwala mwet in som lolngok yorol Baalzebub, god lun Ekron, srulukin wangin god lun Israel kom in lolngok se, na pa kom ac tia kwela. Kom ac misa!’”
And he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Because you sent messengers to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron, as if there were no God in Israel, from whom you would be able to seek a word, therefore, from the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.”
17 Ahaziah el misa oana ma LEUM GOD El fahkak sel Elijah. Wangin wen natul Ahaziah, na pa Joram tamulel lal, el aolul in tokosra ke yac akluo ke pacl in leum lal Jehoram wen natul Jehoshaphat, tokosra lun Judah.
And so he died, in accord with the word of the Lord, which Elijah spoke. And Jehoram, his brother, reigned in his place, in the second year of Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah. For he had no son.
18 Ma nukewa saya ma Tokosra Ahaziah el orala, simla oasr in [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Israel.]
But the rest of the words of Ahaziah that he worked, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
