1 Mpanjaka 19
1 Hene natalili’ i Akabe am’ Iizebele ty nanoe’ i Elià naho i nanjamana’e am-pibara o mpitoky iabioy.
And Achaab told Jezabel his wife all that Eliu [had] done, and how he [had] slain the prophets with the sword.
2 Aa le nampañitrik’ amy Elià t’Iizebele nanao ty hoe: Ee te anoa’ o ‘ndrahareo amako ndra mandikoatse naho tsy ampanahafeko ami’ty fiai’ ty raik’ am’ iereo ty fiai’o te maray hoe zao.
And Jezabel sent to Eliu, and said, If you are Eliu and I am Jezabel, God do so to me, and more also, if I do not make your life by this time to-morrow as the life of one of them.
3 Ie jinanji’e, le niongake nandrombak’ aiñe naho nivotrake e Beerseva e Iehoda añe vaho napò’e ao i mpitoro’ey.
And Eliu feared, and rose, and departed for his life: and he comes to Bersabee [to] the land of Juda, and he left his servant there.
4 F’ie nañavelo andro raike mb’an-dratraratra añe, le nivike naho niambesatse ambane’ talý eo, nañiry hivetrake, le hoe re, soa izay; ie henaneo, ry Iehovà, rambeso ty fiaiko, fa tsy vantañe te aman-droaeko iraho.
And he himself went a day's journey in the wilderness, and came and sat under a juniper tree; and asked concerning his life that he might die, and said, Let it be enough now, O Lord, take, I pray you, my life from me; for I am no better than my fathers.
5 Aa le nandre re nirotse ambane’ i taliy eo, vaho ingo ty anjely nanohiñ’ aze ami’ty hoe: Mitroara, mikamà.
And he lay down and slept there under a tree; and behold, some one touched him, and said to him, Arise and eat.
6 Niandra re, le hehe te marine’ ty añambone’e eo ty vonga-mofo natoñak’ ambone’ vaen’ afo, naho ty zonjon-drano, le nikama naho ninoñe le nirotse indraike.
And Eliu looked, and, behold, at his head there was a cake of meal and a cruse of water; and he arose, and ate and drank, and returned and lay down.
7 Niheo mb’eo fañindroe’e i anjeli’ Iehovày, nañedre aze nanao ty hoe: Mitroara, mikamà, fa tsy ho leo’o i liay.
And the angel of the Lord returned again, and touched him, and said to him, Arise, and eat, for the journey [is] far from you.
8 Aa le nitroatse re, nikama naho ninoñe vaho nañavelo an-kaozarañe efapolo andro naho efapolo haleñe mb’e Korebe vohin’ Añahare mb’eo.
And he arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights to mount Choreb.
9 Ie pok’eo le nimoak’ an-dakato naho nañialo ao naho niheova’ ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ama’e ty hoe: Ino ty anoe’o atoy, ry Elià?
And he entered there into a cave, and rested there; and, behold, the word of the Lord [came] to him, and he said, What [do] you here, Eliu?
10 Le hoe re: Toe nifarahieko t’Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ i Màroy; amy te tsinambolitio’ o ana’ Israeleo i fañina’oy, nafetsak’ ambane o kitreli’oo naho vinono am-pibara o mpitoki’oo, naho izaho le izaho ty honka’e vaho mipay ty fiaiko iereo, havetrake.
And Eliu said, I have been very jealous for the Lord Almighty, because the children of Israel have forsaken you: they have digged down your altars, and have slain your prophets with the sword; and I only am left alone, and they seek my life to take it.
11 Le hoe re: Miavota, mijohaña an-kaboañe ey añ’ atrefa’ Iehovà. Aa inge, niary eo t’Iehovà, le rinia’ ty tio-bey manangololahy i vohitsey naho namoy vato añatrefa’ Iehovà; fe tsy tamy tiokey t’Iehovà; ie añe i tiokey le ty fanginikinihan-tane; fe tsy tamy fanginikinihañey t’Iehovà;
And he said, You shall go forth to-morrow, and shall stand before the Lord in the mount; behold, the Lord will pass by. And, behold, a great [and] strong wind rending the mountains, and crushing the rocks before the Lord; [but] the Lord [was] not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake; [but] the Lord [was] not in the earthquake:
12 ie añe i fanginikinihañey, le ty afo; fe tsy tamy afoy t’Iehovà; ie añe’ i afoy le ty fikofohañe mora.
and after the earthquake a fire; [but] the Lord [was] not in the fire: and after the fire the voice of a gentle breeze.
13 Ie jinanji’ i Elià izay, le kinolopo’e amy sarimbo’ey ty añambone’e, naho niakatse nijohañe am-bava’ i lakatoy eo, vaho inao ty fiarañanañañe mb’ ama’e nanao ty hoe: Ino o anoe’o etoa, ry Elià?
And it came to pass when Eliu heard, that he wrapt his face in his mantle, and went forth and stood in the cave: and, behold, a voice [came] to him and said, What [do] you here, Eliu?
14 Le hoe re: Vata’e nifarahieko t’Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ i Màroy; amy te tsinambolitio’ o ana’ Israeleo i fañina’oy, nafetsak’ ambane o kitreli’oo, naho vinono am-pibara o mpitoki’oo, le izaho, toe izaho avao ty honka’e, ie mipay ty fiaiko, haitoañe.
And Eliu said, I have been very jealous for the Lord Almighty; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, and they have overthrown your altars, and have slain your prophets with the sword! and I am left entirely alone, and they seek my life to take it.
15 Le hoe t’Iehovà ama’e: Akia, mibaliha mb’amy lia’oy mb’eo pak’ am-patrambei’ i Damesèk’ añe; ie mivotrake eo, le orizo ho mpanjaka’ i Arame t’i Kazaele
And the Lord said to him, Go, return, and you shall come into the way of the wilderness of Damascus: and you shall go and anoint Azael to be king over Syria.
16 naho Iehò ana’ i Nimsý ty horiza’o ho mpanjaka’ Israele vaho i Elisà ana’ i Safate nte-Abelmeholà ty horiza’o ho mpitoky handimbe azo.
And Ju the son of Namessi shall you anoint to be king over Israel; and Elisaie the son of Saphat shall you anoint to be prophet in your room.
17 Ie amy zao, ze mipoliotse ami’ty fibara’ i Kazaele ho zevoñe’ Iehò; le ze mipolatitse am-pibara’ Iehò ho zevoñe’ i Elisà.
And it shall come to pass, that him that escapes from the sword of Azael, Ju shall kill; and him that escapes from the sword of Ju, Elisaie shall kill.
18 Fa amako e Israele ao ty fito-arivo sehanga’e, ze hene ongotse mb’e lia’e tsy nitongalek’ amy Baale vaho ze hene falie mboe tsy nañorok’ aze.
And you shall leave in Israel seven thousand men, all the knees which had not bowed themselves to Baal, and every mouth which had not worshipped him.
19 Aa le niavotse mb’eo re naho tendrek’ aze t’i Elisà ana’ i Sefate, nitan-dasarý reketse katràka amam-baoñe folo-ro’ amby aolo’e; nindre amy faha folo-ro’ambiy re vaho nahifi’e ama’e i sarimbo’ey.
And he departed thence, and finds Elisaie the son of Saphat, and he was ploughing with oxen; [there were] twelve yoke before him, and he with the twelve, and he passed by to him, and cast his mantle upon him.
20 Aa le napo’e i katràka rey naho nilay nañorike i Elià nanao ty hoe: Angao horofako ty raeko naho i reneko le horiheko. Le hoe re tama’e; Mibaliha; ino ty nanoako azo?
And Elisaie left the cattle, and ran after Eliu and said, I will kiss my father, and follow after you. And Eliu said, Return, for I have done [a work] for you.
21 Aa le nibalik’ amy fañoriha’e aze naho rinambe’e ty katràka roe mpiharo baoñe, le linenta’e naho nahandro o hena’eo ami’ty harao’ i añombe rey naho nanjotsoa’e ondatio, vaho nikama. Niongak’ amy zao re nañorike i Elià, vaho nitoroñe aze.
And he returned from following him, and took a yoke of oxen, and killed them, and boiled them with the instruments of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate: and he arose, and went after Eliu, and ministered to him.
