1 Mpanjaka 19
1 Dia nolazain’ i Ahaba tamin’ i Jezebela izay rehetra nataon’ i Elia, dia ny namonoany ny mpaminany rehetra tamin’ ny sabatra.
And Achab told Izebel all that Elijah had done, and withal that he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
2 Ary Jezebela naniraka olona tany amin’ i Elia hanao hoe: Hataon’ ireo andriamanitra amiko anie izany, eny, mihoatra noho izany aza, raha tsy hataoko toy ny ain’ ny anankiray amin’ ireny ny ainao raha maraina toy izao.
Then sent Izebel a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So may the gods do to me, and may they thus continue, if about this time tomorrow I do not render thy life as the life of any one of them.
3 Ary raha nahita izany izy, dia niainga ka lasa nandeha hamonjy ny ainy dia nankany Beri-sheba, izay any Joda, ary ny zatovo najanony tao.
And when he saw this, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba', which belongeth to Judah, and he left his young man there.
4 Fa izy kosa nandeha lalana indray andro tany an-efitra, ary tonga ka nipetraka teo ambanin’ ny anjavidy anankiray; dia nangataka ho faty izy ka nanao hoe: Aoka izay! alao ny aiko ankehitriny, Jehovah ô, fa tsy tsara noho ny razako aho.
But he himself went forward into the wilderness a day's journey, and he came and sat down under a certain broom-bush: and he requested for himself to die; and he said, It is enough, now, O Lord, take away my soul; for I am not better than my fathers.
5 Ary raha nandry natory teo ambanin’ ny anjavidy anankiray izy, indro, nisy anjely nanohina azy ka nanao taminy hoe. Miarena, ka homàna.
And he laid himself down and slept under a certain broom-bush, and, behold then, an angel was touching him, and said unto him, Arise, eat.
6 Dia nijery izy, ka, indro, teo anilan’ ny lohany nisy mofo voaendy tamin’ ny vato mahamay sy rano iray tavoara; ary nihinana sy nisotro izy, dia nandry indray.
And he looked about, and, behold, there was at his head a cake baked on coals, and a cruise of water; and he ate and drank, and laid himself down again.
7 Ary avy fanindroany indray Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah, dia nanohina azy ka nanao hoe: Mitohaza, ka homàna, fa lavitra loatra ny halehanao.
And the angel of the Lord came again, the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise, eat; because the journey is yet far for thee.
8 Dia nifoha izy ka nihinana sy nisotro; ary nandeha tamin’ ny tanjaka azony tamin’ izany hanina izany efa-polo andro efa-polo alina izy ho any Horeba, tendrombohitr’ Andriamanitra.
And he arose, and ate and drank; and he went on the strength of that eating forty days and forty nights unto the mount of God, Horeb.
9 Ary niditra tao anatin’ ny zohy izy ka nitoetra tao. Ary, indro, tonga taminy ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe: Manao inona atỳ ianao, ry Elia?
And he came there unto a cave, and remained there over night: and, behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and said unto him, What dost thou here, Elijah?
10 Dia hoy izy: Nafana dia nafana ny foko noho ny fitiavako an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro; fa ny Zanak’ Isiraely nahafoy ny fanekenao; ny alitaranao noravany, ny mpaminaninao novonoiny tamin’ ny sabatra, ary izaho dia izaho irery ihany no sisa, nefa mbola mitady hahafaty ny aiko koa izy.
And he said, I have been very zealous for the Lord, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thy altars have they thrown down, and thy prophets have they slain with the sword: and I am left by myself alone, and they have sought my life, to take it away.
11 Ary hoy Jehovah: Mivoaha, ka mitsangana eo ambonin’ ny tendrombohitra eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah. Ary, indro, nandalo Jehovah, ka nisy rivotra be sady mahery namakivaky ny tendrombohitra sy nanorotoro ny harambato teo alohan’ i Jehovah; nefa Jehovah tsy tao amin’ ny rivotra; ary manarakaraka ny rivotra nisy horohoron-tany; nefa Jehovah tsy tao amin’ ny horohoron-tany;
And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord: and, behold, the Lord passed by, and a wind, great and strong, rending the mountains, and breaking in pieces the rocks [went] before the Lord; but not in the wind was the Lord: and after the wind was an earthquake: but not in the earthquake was the Lord;
12 ary manarakaraka ny horohorontany nisy afo; nefa Jehovah tsy tao amin’ ny afo; ary manarakaraka ny afo nisy feo nitsoka malemy.
And after the earthquake was a fire; but not in the fire was the Lord; and after the fire was the sound of a soft whisper.
13 Ary raha ren’ i Elia izany, dia nosaronany ny kapôtiny ny tavany, ary nivoaka izy ka nijanona teo am-bava-zohy. Ary, indro, nisy feo nankao aminy nanao hoe: Manao inona atỳ ianao ry Elia?
And it came to pass, when Elijah heard it, that he concealed his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave: and, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What dost thou here, Elijah?
14 Dia hoy izy: Nafana dia nafana ny foko noho ny fitiavako an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro; fa ny Zanak’ Isiraely efa nahafoy ny fanekenao; ny alitaranao noravany, ary ny mpaminaninao novonoiny tamin’ ny sabatra, ary izaho dia izaho irery ihany no sisa, nefa mbola mitady hahafaty ny aiko koa izy.
And he said, I have been very zealous for the Lord, the God of hosts; because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thy altars have they thrown down, and thy prophets have they slain with the sword: and I am left by myself alone, and they have sought my life, to take it away.
15 Fa hoy Jehovah taminy: Mandehana, miverena amin’ ny nalehanao ho any amin’ ny efitr’ i Damaskosy; ary raha mby any ianao, dia hosory Hazaela ho mpanjakan’ i Syria;
And the Lord said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus; and go, anoint Chazael to be king over Syria;
16 Ary Jeho, zanak’ i Nimsy, dia hosory ho mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely; ary Elisa, zanak’ i Safata, avy any Abela-mehola, dia hosory ho mpaminany handimby anao.
And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel; and Elisha' the son of Shaphat of Abel-mecholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy stead.
17 Ary izay afa-mandositra ny sabatr’ i Hazaela dia hovonoin’ i Jeho; ary izay afa-mandositra ny sabatr’ i Jeho kosa dia hovonoin’ i Elisa.
And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Chazael shall Jehu slay; and him that escapeth the sword of Jehu shall Elisha' slay.
18 Nefa hamela fito arivo ao amin’ ny Isiraely Aho, dia ny lohalika rehetra izay tsy nandohalika tamin’ i Bala sy ny vava rehetra izay tsy nanoroka azy.
And I will leave in Israel seven thousand, all the knees which have not been bent unto Ba'al, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.
19 Ary niala teo Elia ka nahita an’ i Elisa, zanak’ i Safata, izay nampiasa omby efatra amby roa-polo mikambana tsiroaroa avy, fa izy teo amin’ ny roa farany indrindra; ary Elia nandroso nanatona azy, dia nanipy ny kapôtiny hanarona azy.
And he departed thence, and found Elisha' the son of Shaphat, who was ploughing; twelve yoke of oxen were before him, and he was with the twelfth: and Elijah passed up to him, and cast his mantle toward him.
20 Dia nandao ny omby izy ka nihazakazaka nanaraka an’ i Elia ary niteny hoe: Masìna ianao, avelao aho aloha hanoroka an’ ikaky sy ineny vao manaraka anao. Ary hoy izy taminy: Mandehana miverina, fa naninona anao moa aho?
And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss but my father and my mother, and I will [then] follow thee: and he said unto him, Go, return; for what have I done to thee?
21 Dia niverina niala taminy indray izy ka naka ny omby roa mikambana, dia namono azy, ary nandrahoiny tamin’ ny hazo fiasàn’ ny omby ny henany ka nomeny ny olona, dia nihinana ireo; ary niainga izy ka nanaraka an’ i Elia, dia nanompo azy.
And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and with the instruments of the oxen he boiled the flesh for them, and he gave it unto the people, and they did eat; and then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.
