1 Mpanjaka 19
1 Hene natalili’ i Akabe am’ Iizebele ty nanoe’ i Elià naho i nanjamana’e am-pibara o mpitoky iabioy.
And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had slain all 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.
Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, So let the gods do [to me], and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to-morrow about this time.
3 Ie jinanji’e, le niongake nandrombak’ aiñe naho nivotrake e Beerseva e Iehoda añe vaho napò’e ao i mpitoro’ey.
And when he saw [that], he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which [belongeth] to Judah, and 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.
But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper-tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I [am] not 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 as he lay and slept under a juniper-tree, behold, then an angel 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 he looked, and behold, [there was] a cake baked on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he ate and drank, and laid himself down again.
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 came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise [and] eat, because the journey [is] too great for thee.
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 food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of God.
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 came thither to a cave, and lodged there; and behold, the word of the LORD [came] to him, and he said to him, What doest thou here, Elijah?
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 he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thy altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, I only, am left; and they seek my life to take it away.
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, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and broke in pieces 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 a still small voice.
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 was [so], when Elijah heard [it], that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. And behold, [there came] a voice to him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
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 he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thy altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
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 on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael [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 Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint [to be] king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shalt thou anoint [to be] prophet in thy 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 escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.
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.
Yet I have left to [me] seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed 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.
So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who [was] plowing [with] twelve yoke [of oxen] before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by 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 he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and [then] I will follow thee. And he said to him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee?
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 back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered to him.
