1 Mpanjaka 18
1 Ie andro maro añe, le niheo amy Elià ty tsara’ Iehovà, amy taom-paha-teloy ami’ ty hoe: Akia, miatrefa amy Akabe, fa hampahaviako orañe ty tane toy.
After many dayes, the worde of the Lord came to Eliiah, in the third yeere, saying, Goe, shewe thy selfe vnto Ahab, and I will sende rayne vpon the earth.
2 Aa le niheo mb’eo t’i Elià hiatrek’ amy Akabe. Toe nampalovilovy ty san-kerè e Somerone ao.
And Eliiah went to shew himselfe vnto Ahab, and there was a great famine in Samaria.
3 Le kinanji’ i Akabe t’i Obadià mpamandroñe i anjombay (toe mpañeveñe am’Iehovà t’i Obadià;
And Ahab called Obadiah the gouernour of his house: (and Obadiah feared God greatly:
4 fa teo te nañitoa’ Iizebele o mpitoki’ Iehovào, le rinambe’ i Obadià ty mpitoky zato naho naeta’e ki-limampolo an-dakato ao vaho finaha’e mofo naho rano.)
For when Iezebel destroyed the Prophets of the Lord, Obadiah tooke an hundreth Prophets, and hid them, by fiftie in a caue, and he fed them with bread and water.)
5 Fa hoe ty asa’ i Akabe amy Obadià, Akia, tsitsiho i taney, mb’ amy ze rano manganahana naho mb’amo torahañeo hera hahaisak’ ahetse tika handrombahañe o soavalao naho o borìkeo ho veloñe, tsy mone ho motso aman-tika o hare iabio.
And Ahab saide vnto Obadiah, Goe into the land, vnto all the fountaines of water, and vnto all the riuers, if so be that we may finde grasse to saue the horses and the mules aliue, lest we depriue the lande of the beastes.
6 Aa le nifanjarà’ iereo i taney hirangà’ iareo; nanjenge mb’ añ’ ila’e t’i Akabe, vaho nitakiokioke mb’añ’ ila’e t’i Obadià.
And so they deuided the lande betweene them to walke thorowe it. Ahab went one way by him selfe, and Obadiah went another way by him selfe.
7 Aa ie amy fañaveloa’ey t’i Obadia le nifanalaka ama’e t’i Elià; ie niisa’e, le nihotrak’ an-dahara’e, nanao ty hoe: Tsy i Elià talèkoy v’iheo?
And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Eliiah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art not thou my lord Eliiah?
8 Le hoe ty natoi’e, Izaho ‘nio; akia, taroño amy talè’oy ty hoe, Atoy t’i Elià.
And he answered him, Yea, goe tell thy lord, Behold, Eliiah is here.
9 Le hoe re, Ino o hakeokoo, te hasese’o am-pità’ i Akabe ty mpitoro’o hanjevoa’e?
And he said, What haue I sinned, that thou wouldest deliuer thy seruant into the hande of Ahab, to slay me?
10 Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, tsy eo ty fifeheañe ndra fifelehañe tsy nañiraha’ i talèkoy hitsoeha’e; le ie nanao ty hoe, Tsy atoy re, le nampifantae’e i borizàñey naho i fifeheañey t’ie tsy naharendrek’ azo.
As the Lord thy God liueth, there is no nation or kingdome, whither my lorde hath not sent to seeke thee: and when they sayd, He is not here, he tooke an othe of the kingdome and nation, if they had not found thee.
11 Ie amy zao, hoe ty saontsi’o: Akia, taroño amy talè’oy. Inao, fa atoy t’i Elià.
And now thou sayest, Goe, tell thy lorde, Beholde, Eliiah is here.
12 Ie amy zay, vata’e hienga azo iraho le hasese’ ty Tio’ Iehovà mb’amy amoeako añey irehe; aa ie miheo mb’amy Akabe mb’eo hataliliko, vaho tsy mahatendrek’ azo, le havetra’e; toe mpañeveñe am’ Iehovà ty mpitoro’o sikal’ ami’ ty nahajalahy ahy.
And when I am gone from thee, the Spirit of the Lord shall cary thee into some place that I doe not know: so when I come and tell Ahab, if he cannot finde thee, then wil he kill me: But I thy seruant feare the Lord from my youth.
13 Tsy naboak’ amy talèkoy hao ty nanoeko, ie nanjamañe o mpitoki’ Iehovào t’Iizebele? t’ie nañetake ondaty zato, mpitoki’ Iehovào ki-limampolo an-dakato ao vaho nifahanako mofo naho rano?
Was it not tolde my lord, what I did when Iezebel slew the Prophets of the Lord, how I hid an hundreth men of the Lordes Prophets by fifties in a caue, and fed them with bread and water?
14 Le ihe manao ty hoe: Akia, taroño i talè’oy ty hoe: Inao, atoy t’i Elià, hanjevoa’e ahy.
And now thou sayest, Go, tel thy lord, Behold, Eliiah is here, that he may slay me.
15 Aa le hoe t’i Elià: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà’ i Màro fijohañakoy, toe hiatrek’ aze iraho te anito.
And Eliiah said, As the Lord of hostes liueth, before whome I stand, I will surely shewe my selfe vnto him this day.
16 Aa le niavotse t’i Obadià hifanalaka amy Akabe, le tinaro’e ama’e vaho nimb’eo t’i Akabe hifañaoñe amy Elià.
So Obadiah went to meete Ahab, and tolde him: And Ahab went to meete Eliiah.
17 Ie nitendreke i Elià t’i Akabe, le hoe t’i Akabe ama’e: Ihe v’zao, ty mpitrobo Israele?
And when Ahab saw Eliiah, Ahab said vnto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
18 Le hoe ty natoi’e: Tsy izaho ty mitrobo Israele fa ihe naho ty anjomban-drae’o, kanao tsinambolitio’ areo o lili’ Iehovào vaho norihe’o o Baaleo.
And he answered, I haue not troubled Israel, but thou, and thy fathers house, in that ye haue forsaken the commandements of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim.
19 Akia, ampañitrifo, vaho atontono amako mb’etoa iaby t’Israele an-kaboa’ i Karmele ey naho i mpitokim-Baale efa-jato-tsi-limampolo rey, naho i mpitoki’ i Aserà efa-jato mpikama am-pandambaña’ Iizebele rey.
Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel vnto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal foure hundreth and fiftie, and the prophets of the groues foure hundreth, which eate at Iezebels table.
20 Aa le nampañitrife’ i Akabe o ana’ Israele iabio vaho natonto’e an-kaboa’ i Karmele eo o mpitokio.
So Ahab sent vnto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together vnto mount Carmel.
21 Nitotofe’ i Elià ondatio, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Ampara’ te ombia ty mbe hifejofejo añivon-tsafiry roe? Naho Iehovà ro Andrianañahare, oriho, fa naho i Baale ka, le oriho. Tsy nahakofò-bolan-draike ondatio.
And Eliiah came vnto all the people, and said, How long halt ye betweene two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal be he, then goe after him. And the people answered him not a worde.
22 Le hoe t’i Elià am’ ondatio. Izaho le izaho avao ty mpitoky honka’ Iehovà; fe ondaty efa-jato-tsi-limampolo ty mpitoki’ i Baale.
Then said Eliiah vnto the people, I onely remayne a Prophet of the Lord: but Baals prophets are foure hundreth and fiftie men.
23 Aa le ampanoloro bania roe zahay, ho joboñe’ iereo ty a iareo, naho ho lilie’ iareo vaho hasampe amo hatae’eo, fa tsy hasiañ’ afo ty ambane’e ao; le izaho ka ty hikotepe ty bania ila’e naho hapoko ambone’ ty hatae vaho tsy hamiañako afo ty ambane’e ao.
Let them therefore giue vs two bullockes, and let them chuse the one, and cut him in pieces, and lay him on the wood, but put no fire vnder, and I will prepare the other bullocke, and lay him on the wood, and will put no fire vnder.
24 Tokavo amy zay ty añaran-drahare’ areo, le ho kanjieko ty tahina’ Iehovà; vaho ze Andrianañahare manoiñe an’afo, Ie ro Andrianañahare. Hene nanoiñe ondatio nanao: Saontsy soa izay.
Then call ye on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the Lord: and then the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered, and sayde, It is well spoken.
25 Le hoe t’i Elià amo mpitoki’ i Baaleo: Joboño’ areo ty bania’ areo, le hajario heike, amy t’ie maro, le tokavo ty añaran-drahare’ areo, fe ko mamiañ’ afo.
And Eliiah said vnto the prophets of Baal, Chuse you a bullocke, and prepare him first, (for ye are many) and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire vnder.
26 Aa le rinambe’ iareo ty bania natolotse naho hinajari’ iereo vaho tinoka’ iareo ty añara’ i Baale mifototse amy maraindraiñey pak’ an-tsipinde mena, ami’ty hoe: O Baale, toiño. Fe leo feo raike tsy nanoiñe. Nitsamboatsamboañe an-tsinjake iereo añariari’ i kitrely namboare’ iereoy.
So they tooke the one bullocke, that was giuen them, and they prepared it, and called on the name of Baal, from morning to noone, saying, O Baal, heare vs: but there was no voyce, nor any to answere: and they leapt vpon the altar that was made.
27 Ie tsipinde-mena, le kiniza’ i Elià ami’ty hoe: Ipazapazaho, kanao ‘ndrahare, he tondren-dre, ke miamontoñe, he nifokofoko añe; ke miroro ho tsekafeñe.
And at noone Eliiah mocked them, and said, Crye loude: for he is a god: either he talketh or pursueth his enemies, or is in his iourney, or it may be that he sleepeth, and must be awaked.
28 Aa le pinoña’ iereo ty fipazake, naho nandili-vatañe ama-meso naho lefoñe an-tsata’ iareo am-para’ te nidoandoan-dio.
And they cryed loude, and cut them selues as their maner was, with kniues and launcers, till the blood gushed out vpon them.
29 Ie añe i tsingilingilieñey, mbe nitoky avao iereo sikal’ amy fisoroñañe harivay, f’ie tsy amam-peo, tsy amam-panoiñe, tsy amam-pañaoñe.
And when midday was passed, and they had prophecied vntil the offring of the euening sacrifice, there was neither voyce, nor one to answere, nor any that regarded.
30 Le hoe t’i Elià am’ ondatio. Miharinea; le nañarivoa’ ondatio, vaho namboare’e i kitreli’ Iehovà rinotsakey.
And Eliiah said vnto all the people, Come to me. And all the people came to him. And he repayred the altar of the Lord that was broken downe.
31 Nandrambe vato folo-ro’ amby t’i Elià ty ami’ty ia’ i fifokoan’ ana’ Iakobe rey; ie niheova’ ty tsara’ Iehovày nanao ty hoe: Israele ty ho tahina’o;
And Eliiah tooke twelue stones, according to the nomber of the tribes of the sonnes of Iaakob, (vnto whome the worde of the Lord came, saying, Israel shalbe thy name)
32 le namboare’e kitrely amy vato rey ami’ty tahina’ Iehovà; le nihalie’e talahake niarikatoke i kitreliy, nahaatseke fañaranan-tabiry roe ty habei’e.
And with the stones he buylt an altar in the Name of the Lord: and he made a ditch round about the altar, as great as woulde conteine two measures of seede.
33 Hinajari’e amy zao ty hatae, naho rinasa’e i baniay vaho nampipoha’e ambone’ o hataeo eo,
And he put the wood in order, and hewed the bullocke in pieces, and layd him on the wood,
34 le nanao ty hoe: Atsafo rano ty sajoa efatse vaho adoaño amo hisoroñañeo naho amo hataeo. Le hoe re, Ano fañindroe’e, le nanoe’ iereo fañindroe’e. Le hoe re: Ano fañintelo’e, vaho nanoe’ iareo fañintelo’e.
And said, Fill foure barrels with water, and powre it on the burnt offring and on the wood. Againe he said, Doe so againe. And they did so the second time. And he sayde, Doe it the third time. And they did it the third time.
35 Aa le nikararak’ añ’ ariseho’ i kitreliy i ranoy, nañatsake i talahay an-drano.
And the water ran round about the altar: and he filled the ditch with water also.
36 Ie amy fisoroñan-karivay le nañarine mb’eo t’i Elià mpitoky nanao ty hoe: Ry Iehovà Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame naho Ietsake vaho Israele, ampaharofoano anito te Ihe ro Andrianañahare e Israele ao naho te izaho ro mpitoro’o vaho amy tsara’oy ty nanoeko ze he’e zao.
And when they should offer the euening sacrifice, Eliiah the Prophet came, and sayd, Lord God of Abraham, Izhak and of Israel, let it be knowen this day, that thou art the God of Israel, and that I am thy seruant, and that I haue done all these things at thy commandement.
37 Janjiño iraho, ry Iehovà, janjiño, hahafohina’ ondaty retoañe te Ihe ro Iehovà Andrianañahare, mpampipoly ty arofo’ iareo.
Heare me, O Lord, heare me, and let this people know that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart againe at the last.
38 Nipozak’ eo amy zao ty afo’ Iehovà namorototo i engan-koroañey naho o hataeo naho o vatoo naho i debokey vaho nitsela ty rano an-kaly ao.
Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt offring, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked vp the water that was in the ditche.
39 Ie nahaisake izay ondatio, le songa niankotrak’ an-dahara’e nanao ty hoe: Iehovà, ie ro Andrianañahare; Iehovà, ie ro Andrianañahare.
And when all the people sawe it, they fell on their faces, and saide, The Lord is God, the Lord is God.
40 Le hoe t’i Elià am’ iereo: Vahoro o mpitoki’ i Baaleo; ko apo’ areo hienga ndra raike; le tsinepa’ iareo; nindese’ i Elià nizotso mb’amy Kidrone torahañe mb’eo vaho zinama’e.
And Elijah said vnto them, Take the prophets of Baal, let not a man of them escape. and they tooke them, and Eliiah brought them to the brooke Kishon, and slewe them there.
41 Le hoe t’i Elià amy Akabe: Mionjona, mikamà naho minoma; fa inao ty feon-oram-bey.
And Eliiah sayde vnto Ahab, Get thee vp, eate and drinke, for there is a sound of much rayne.
42 Aa le nañambone ey t’i Akabe nikama naho nitohoke. Nanganike mb’an-kaboa’ i Karmele mb’eo ka t’i Elià le nibokoke mb’an-tane, ty lahara’e añivo’ o ongo’eo;
So Ahab went vp to eate and to drinke, and Eliiah went vp to the top of Carmel: and he crouched vnto the earth, and put his face betweene his knees,
43 le hoe re amy mpitoro’ey, Mionjona, le mitalakesa mb’ an-driake eñe. Nionjom-beo re vaho nanao ty hoe: Tsy ama’e. Le hoe re: Mibaliha mb’eo im-pito.
And sayde to his seruant, Goe vp now and looke towarde the way of the Sea. And he went vp, and looked, and sayde, There is nothing. Againe he sayd, Goe againe seuen times.
44 Ie amy faha-fitoy, le hoe ty asa’e: Hehe ty rahoñe hoe lela-pità’ ondaty miakatse an-driake eñe. Le hoe re, Akia, ano ty hoe amy Akabe: Hentseño i sarete’oy le mizotsoa, soa tsy hanebañ’ azo i orañey.
And at the seuenth time he sayd, Behold, there ariseth a litle cloude out of the sea like a mans hand. Then he sayd, Vp, and say vnto Ahab, Make readie thy charet, and get thee downe, that the raine stay thee not.
45 Ie amy zao nigobon-drahoñe naho tioke i likerañey vaho nikojojoake ty orañe. Aa le niningitse mb’e Iezreele mb’eo t’i Akabe.
And in the meane while the heauen was blacke with cloudes and winde, and there was a great rayne. Then Ahab went vp and came to Izreel.
46 Tamy Elià ty fità’ Iehovà, le nidian-tohake vaho nilay aolo’ i Akabe mb’eo pak’ am-pimoahañe e Iezreele añe.
And the hand of the Lord was on Eliiah, and he girded vp his Ioynes, and ran before Ahab till he came to Izreel.
