1 एलियाले गरेका सबै काम र कसरी तिनले सबै अगमवक्तालाई तरवारले मारे भनी आहाबले ईजेबेललाई बताए ।
And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and also how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
2 तब ईजेबेलले एलियाकहाँ यसो भनेर एक जना सन्देशवाहक पठाए, “तैँले जसरी ती अगमवक्ताहरूको प्राण लिइस्, त्यसरी नै भोलि यसै बेलासम्म मैले तेरो प्राण लिइनँ भने देवताहरूले मलाई पनि त्यसै गरून् वा सोभन्दा बेसी गरून् ।”
Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make thy life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.
3 जब एलियाले यो कुरा सुने तिनी उठेर आफ्नो जीवन बचाउन भागे, र यहूदाको बेर्शेबामा आए, तर आफ्नो नोकरलाई चाहिँ त्यहीँ छाडे ।
And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life. And he came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.
4 तर तिनी आफैचाहिँ एक दिनको यात्रा गरेर उजाड-स्थानमा गए, र अम्रिसको एउटा झाडीमा आए । आफू मरोस् भनी तिनले बिन्ती गर, “हे परमप्रभु, अब अति भयो । मेरो प्राण लिनुहोस् किनकि म मेरा पित्रहरूभन्दा असल छैनँ ।”
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 Jehovah, take away my life, for I am no better than my fathers.
5 त्यसैले तिनी पल्टे, र अम्रिसको झाडीमुनि सुते । अकस्मात् एउटा स्वर्गदूतले तिनलाई छोएर भने, “उठेर खाऊ ।”
And he lay down and slept under a juniper tree, and, behold, an agent touched him, and said to him, Arise and eat.
6 एलियाले हेरे, र आफ्नो शिरनेर कोइलामा पोलेर तयार पारिएको रोटी र एक सुरही पानी देखे । त्यसैले तिनले खाए, र पिए अनि फेरि पल्टे ।
And he looked, and, behold, there was at his head a cake baked on the coals, and a cruse of water. And he ate and drank, and laid him down again.
7 परमप्रभुका दूत दोस्रो पटक पनि आए र तिनलाई छोएर भने, “उठेर खाऊ किनकि तिम्रो लागि यात्रा निकै लामो छ ।”
And the agent of Jehovah came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat because the journey is too great for thee.
8 त्यसैले तिनी उठेर खाए, र पिए अनि त्यस खानाको शक्ति पाएर चालिस दिन यात्रा गरेर परमेश्वरको पर्वत होरेबसम्मै आए ।
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 त्यहाँ तिनी एउटा गुफामा गए, र त्यहीँ नै बसे । तब परमप्रभुको वचन तिनीकहाँ आयो, “ए एलिया, तँ यहाँ के गर्दै छस्?”
And he came to a cave there, and lodged there. And, behold, the word of Jehovah came to him, and he said to him, What are thou doing here, Elijah?
10 एलियाले जवाफ दिए, “सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको निम्ति म साह्रै जोसिलो भएको छु, किनकि इस्राएलीहरूले तपाईंको करार उल्लङ्घन गरेका छन्, तपाईंका वेदीहरू भत्काइदिएका छन्, र तपाईंका अगमवक्ताहरूलाई तरवारले मारेका छन् । अब म एकलै छाडिएको छु, र तिनीहरूले मेरो प्राण लिन खोज्दै छन् ।”
And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah, the God of hosts. For the sons of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword. And I, even I only, am left, and they seek my life, to take it away.
11 परमप्रभुले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “निस्केर जा, अनि पर्वतमा मेरो सामु खडा हो ।” तब परमप्रभु त्यहाँबाट भएर जानुभयो, र प्रचण्ड बतासले पर्वतलाई प्रहार गर्‍यो अनि परमप्रभुको सामु चट्टानहरू टुक्राटुक्रा भए, तर परमप्रभु बतासमा हुनुहुन्थेन । बतासपछि एउटा भूकम्प गयो, तर परमप्रभु भूकम्पमा पनि हुनुहुन्थेन ।
And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before Jehovah. And, behold, Jehovah passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before Jehovah, but Jehovah was not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake, but Jehovah was not in the earthquake.
12 भूकम्पपछि एउटा आगो आयो, तर परमप्रभु आगोमा पनि हुनुहुन्थेन । आगोपछि एउटा सानो आवाज आयो ।
And after the earthquake a fire, but Jehovah was not in the fire. And after the fire a still small voice.
13 जब एलियाले त्यो आवाज सुने तब तिनले खास्टोमा आफ्नो मुहार लुकाए, र बाहिर निस्केर गुफाको मुखमा उभिए । तब एउटा आवाज आयो जसले तिनलाई भन्यो, “ए एलिया, तँ यहाँ के गर्दै छस्?”
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 are thou doing here, Elijah?
14 एलियाले जवाफ दिए, “सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको निम्ति म साह्रै जोसिलो भएको छु, किनकि इस्राएलीहरूले तपाईंको करार उल्लङ्घन गरेका छन्, तपाईंका वेदीहरू भत्काइदिएका छन्, र तपाईंका अगमवक्ताहरूलाई तरवारले मारेका छन् । अब म एकलै छाडिएको छु, र तिनीहरूले मेरो प्राण लिन खोज्दै छन् ।”
And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah, the God of hosts. For the sons of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword. And I, even I only, am left, and they seek my life to take it away.
15 तब परमप्रभुले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “फर्केर दमस्कसको उजाड-स्थानको बाटोमा जा, र तँ त्यहाँ आइपुगेपछि हजाएललाई अरामका राजाको रूपमा अभिषेक गर् ।
And Jehovah said to him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus. And when thou come, thou shall anoint Hazael to be king over Syria.
16 तैँले निम्शीका छोरा येहूलाई इस्राएलको राजाको रूपमा नियुक्त गर्नू, र तेरो ठाउँमा हाबिल-महोलाको शाफातका छोरा एलीशालाई अगमवक्ताको रूपमा अभिषेक गर्नू ।
And thou shall anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi to be king over Israel. And thou shall anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah to be prophet in thy place.
17 हजाएलको तरवारबाट उम्कने जोसुकैलाई येहूले मार्ने छन्, र येहूको तरवारबाट उम्कने जोसुकैलाई एलीशाले मार्ने छन् ।
And it shall come to pass, that he who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu shall kill. And he who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha shall kill.
18 तर म इस्राएलमा सात हजार मानिसलाई बचाइराख्ने छु, जसले बालको सामु घुँडा टेकेका छैनन्, र जसका मुखले त्यसलाई चुम्बन गरेका छैनन् ।”
Yet I have reserved for me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth which has not kissed him.
19 त्यसैले एलिया त्यहाँबाट प्रस्थान गरे, र तिनले शाफातका छोरा एलीशालाई फेला पारे । तिनले बाह्र हल गोरुले खेत जोतिरहेका थिए । त्यस बेला तिनले बाह्रौँ हललाई जोतिरहेका थिए । एलिया एलीशाकहाँ आए, र तिनलाई आफ्नो खास्टो ओढाइदिए ।
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. And Elijah passed over to him, and cast his mantle upon him.
20 त्यसपछि एलीशाले ती गोरुहरू छाडेर एलियाको पछि लागे । तिनले भने, “मलाई मेरा पिता र मेरी आमालाई चुम्बन गर्न दिनुहोस्, र त्यसपछि म तपाईंको पछि लाग्ने छु ।” तब एलियाले भने, “फर्केर जाऊ, तर मैले तिमीलाई भनेको कुराको बारेमा सोचविचार गर ।”
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 त्यसैले एलीशा एलियाबाट गए, र एक हल गोरु लिए । तिनले हलोका काठहरू जलाएर मासु पकाए । तिनले त्यो मानिसहरूलाई दिए, र तिनले पनि खाए । तब तिनी उठेर एलियाको पछि लागे, र तिनको सेवा गरे ।
And he returned from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, and killed 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.
