1 Mpanjaka 19
1 Hene natalili’ i Akabe am’ Iizebele ty nanoe’ i Elià naho i nanjamana’e am-pibara o mpitoky iabioy.
Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed 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 don’t make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow 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.
When he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongs 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. Then 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.
He lay down and slept under a juniper tree; and behold, 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.
He looked, and behold, there was at his head a cake baked on the coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank, and lay 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.
The LORD’s angel came again the second time, and touched him, and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for 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.
He arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb, God’s Mountain.
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?
He came to a cave there, and camped there; and behold, the LORD’s word came to him, and he said to him, “What are you doing 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.
He said, “I have been very jealous for the LORD, the God of Hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I, even 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;
He said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before the LORD.” Behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was 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.
After the earthquake a fire passed; but the LORD was not in the fire. After the fire, there was 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?
When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle, went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. Behold, a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing 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.
He said, “I have been very jealous for the LORD, the God of Hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I, even 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
The LORD said to him, “Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus. When you arrive, 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.
Anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi to be king over Israel; and anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah to be prophet in your place.
17 Ie amy zao, ze mipoliotse ami’ty fibara’ i Kazaele ho zevoñe’ Iehò; le ze mipolatitse am-pibara’ Iehò ho zevoñe’ i Elisà.
He who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and he who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha will 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.
Yet I reserved seven thousand in Israel, all the knees of which have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth which has 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 from there and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth. Elijah went over to him and put his mantle on 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?
Elisha left the oxen and ran after Elijah, and said, “Let me please kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.” He said to him, “Go back again; for what have I done to 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.
He returned from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, killed them, and boiled their meat with the oxen’s equipment, and gave to the people; and they ate. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and served him.
