१ राजाहरू 19
1 एलियाले गरेका सबै काम र कसरी तिनले सबै अगमवक्तालाई तरवारले मारे भनी आहाबले ईजेबेललाई बताए ।
And Achab told Izebel all that Elijah had done, and withal that 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 sent Izebel a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So may the gods do to me, and may they thus continue, if about this time tomorrow I do not render thy life as the life of any one of them.
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 this, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba', which belongeth to Judah, and he left his young man 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 forward into the wilderness a day's journey, and he came and sat down under a certain broom-bush: and he requested for himself to die; and he said, It is enough, now, O Lord, take away my soul; for I am not better than my fathers.
5 त्यसैले तिनी पल्टे, र अम्रिसको झाडीमुनि सुते । अकस्मात् एउटा स्वर्गदूतले तिनलाई छोएर भने, “उठेर खाऊ ।”
And he laid himself down and slept under a certain broom-bush, and, behold then, an angel was touching him, and said unto him, Arise, 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 about, and, behold, there was at his head a cake baked on coals, and a cruise of water; and he ate and drank, and laid himself down again.
7 परमप्रभुका दूत दोस्रो पटक पनि आए र तिनलाई छोएर भने, “उठेर खाऊ किनकि तिम्रो लागि यात्रा निकै लामो छ ।”
And the angel of the Lord came again, the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise, eat; because the journey is yet far 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 he went on the strength of that eating forty days and forty nights unto the mount of God, Horeb.
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 there unto a cave, and remained there over night: and, behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and said unto him, What dost thou 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 zealous for the Lord, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thy altars have they thrown down, and thy prophets have they slain with the sword: and I am left by myself alone, and they have sought 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 the Lord: and, behold, the Lord passed by, and a wind, great and strong, rending the mountains, and breaking in pieces the rocks [went] before the Lord; but not in the wind was the Lord: and after the wind was an earthquake: but not in the earthquake was the Lord;
12 भूकम्पपछि एउटा आगो आयो, तर परमप्रभु आगोमा पनि हुनुहुन्थेन । आगोपछि एउटा सानो आवाज आयो ।
And after the earthquake was a fire; but not in the fire was the Lord; and after the fire was the sound of a soft whisper.
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 came to pass, when Elijah heard it, that he concealed his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave: and, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What dost thou 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 zealous for the Lord, the God of hosts; because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thy altars have they thrown down, and thy prophets have they slain with the sword: and I am left by myself alone, and they have sought 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 the Lord said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus; and go, anoint Chazael 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 Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel; and Elisha' the son of Shaphat of Abel-mecholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy stead.
17 हजाएलको तरवारबाट उम्कने जोसुकैलाई येहूले मार्ने छन्, र येहूको तरवारबाट उम्कने जोसुकैलाई एलीशाले मार्ने छन् ।
And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Chazael shall Jehu slay; and him that escapeth the sword of Jehu shall Elisha' slay.
18 तर म इस्राएलमा सात हजार मानिसलाई बचाइराख्ने छु, जसले बालको सामु घुँडा टेकेका छैनन्, र जसका मुखले त्यसलाई चुम्बन गरेका छैनन् ।”
And I will leave in Israel seven thousand, all the knees which have not been bent unto Ba'al, and every mouth which hath 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 ।
And he departed thence, and found Elisha' the son of Shaphat, who was ploughing; twelve yoke of oxen were before him, and he was with the twelfth: and Elijah passed up to him, and cast his mantle toward 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 but my father and my mother, and I will [then] follow thee: and he said unto him, Go, return; 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 back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and with the instruments of the oxen he boiled the flesh for them, and he gave it unto the people, and they did eat; and then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.
