1 Zvino mushure menguva huru, mugore rechitatu, shoko raJehovha rakauya kuna Eria richiti, “Enda undozviratidza kuna Ahabhu, uye ini ndichanayisa mvura panyika.”
Mfe abiɛsa akyi no, Awurade asɛm baa Elia nkyɛn se, “Fa wo ho kɔkyerɛ ɔhene Ahab na ka kyerɛ no se ɛrenkyɛ biara, mɛma osu atɔ asase no so.”
2 Saka Eria akaenda kundozviratidza kuna Ahabhu. Zvino nzara yakanga yanyanya kwazvo muSamaria,
Elia de ne ho kɔkyerɛɛ ɔhene Ahab. Na ɔkɔm no ano yɛɛ den yiye wɔ Samaria.
3 uye Ahabhu akanga adana Obhadhia uyo akanga ari mutariri womuzinda wake. (Obhadhia akanga achitenda kuna Jehovha zvikuru kwazvo.
Ahab frɛɛ Obadia a na ɔhwɛ nʼahemfi so no. Na Obadia gye Awurade di yiye.
4 Jezebheri paakanga achiuraya vaprofita vaJehovha, Obhadhia akanga atora vaprofita zana akavaviga mumapako maviri, makumi mashanu mune rimwe nerimwe. Uye akavapa kudya nemvura.)
Bere a na Isebel rekunkum Awurade adiyifo no, Obadia faa adiyifo no ɔha de wɔn kosiee abodan abien mu a, wɔn mu aduonum biara da ɔbodan baako mu. Na ɔmaa wɔn aduan ne nsu.
5 Ahabhu akanga ati kuna Obhadhia, “Enda munyika umu kuzvitubu zvose nemipata yose. Zvimwe tingawana uswa tiraramise mabhiza namanyurusi kuitira kuti tirege kuzouraya kana chimwe chete chezvipfuwo zvedu.”
Ahab ka kyerɛɛ Obadia se, “Kɔ na kɔhwehwɛ asase no so mmura ne abon nyinaa sɛ ebia yebenya sare ama apɔnkɔ ne mfurum yi awe sɛnea wɔrenwuwu.”
6 Saka vakagovana nzvimbo dzavaizoenda, Ahabhu achienda kune rimwe divi, Obhadhia kune rimwewo divi.
Enti wɔkyɛɛ asase no mu maa wɔn ho. Ahab faa fa na Obadia nso faa fa.
7 Obhadhia akati achifamba, Eria akasangana naye. Obhadhia akamuziva akakotamira pasi, akati, “Chaizvoizvo chokwadi, ndimi here ishe wangu Eria?”
Obadia nam no, Elia hyiaa no. Obadia huu no, kaee no nti, ɔkotow no wɔ fam kae se, “Enti wo ni, me wura Elia?”
8 Akapindura akati, “Hongu. Enda undoudza ishe wako kuti, ‘Eria ari kuno.’”
Elia buae se, “Yiw, kɔka kyerɛ wo wura se, ‘Elia wɔ ha.’”
9 Obhadhia akabvunza akati, “Ndatadzeiko zvamava kuendesa muranda wenyu kuna Ahabhu kuti andourayiwa?
Obadia bisae se, “Me wura, dɛn bɔne na mayɛ a enti woresoma me Ahab nkyɛn ama wɔakum me yi?
10 Zvirokwazvo naJehovha Mwari wenyu mupenyu, hakuna rudzi kana nyika, ishe wangu, kwaasina kutuma mumwe munhu kuti andokutsvagai. Uye kana pane nyika kana rudzi vaiti makanga musiko, aitovamanikidza kuti vapike kuti vakanga vakushayai.
Mmere dodow a Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn te ase yi, ɔman anaa ahemman biara nni hɔ a me wura nsomaa obi wɔ so sɛ ɔnhwehwɛ wo. Na ɔman anaa ahemman biara a wɔbɛka sɛ wunni so no, ɔma wɔka ntam, ka se wɔanhu wo.
11 Asi zvino mava kundiudza kuti ndiende kuna ishe wangu ndinoti, ‘Eria ari kuno.’
Na afei, woka kyerɛ me sɛ menkɔ me wura nkyɛn nkɔka nkyerɛ no se, ‘Elia wɔ ha.’
12 Ini handizivi kuti Mweya waJehovha uchakuendesai kupi kana ndabva pano pamuri. Kana ndikaenda kundoudza Ahabhu, iye akazokushayai, anondiuraya. Asi ini muranda wenyu ndakashumira Jehovha kubvira pauduku hwangu.
Minnim baabi a sɛ migyaw wo hɔ kɔ a, Awurade honhom bɛpagyaw wo akosi. Sɛ mekɔka kyerɛ Ahab, na wanhu wo a, obekum me. Nanso me, wo somfo, masom Awurade fi me mmofraase.
13 Ishe wangu, hamuna kunzwa here zvandakaita, Jezebheri paakanga achiuraya vaprofita vaJehovha? Ndakaviga vaprofita vaJehovha zana mumapako maviri, makumi mashanu mune rimwe nerimwe uye ndakavapa kudya nemvura.
Me wura, wontee nea meyɛɛ bere a na Isebel rekunkum Awurade adiyifo no ana? Mede Awurade adiyifo no ɔha siee abodan abien mu a, na wɔn mu aduonum wɔ ɔbodan baako biara mu. Memaa wɔn aduan ne nsu nso.
14 Zvino mava kundiudza kuti ndiende kuna ishe wangu ndinoti, ‘Eria ari kuno.’ Anondiuraya!”
Na afei, woka kyerɛ me se menkɔ me wura nkyɛn nkɔka nkyerɛ no se, ‘Elia wɔ ha!’ Obekum me!”
15 Eria akati, “NaJehovha Wamasimba Ose mupenyu, wandinoshandira, zvirokwazvo ndichazvipira kuna Ahabhu nhasi.”
Elia kaa se, “Mmere dodow a Awurade a mesom no te ase yi, nea ɛbɛyɛ biara, mede me ho bɛma Ahab nnɛ.”
16 Saka Obhadhia akaenda kundosangana naAhabhu akamuudza, uye Ahabhu akaenda kundosangana naEria.
Enti Obadia kohyiaa Ahab, ka kyerɛɛ no, na Ahab kohyiaa Elia.
17 Paakaona Eria, akati kwaari, “Ndiwe here, iwe mutambudzi weIsraeri?”
Ohuu Elia no, obisaa no se, “Wo ni, wo a wohaw Israelfo?”
18 Eria akapindura akati, “Handina kuuyisa dambudziko kuIsraeri, asi imi nemhuri yenyu ndimi makadaro. Makasiya mirayiro yaJehovha mukatevera Bhaari.
Elia buae se, “Menhaw Israel ɔkwan biara so. Na mmom, wo ne wʼagya fifo na moahaw Israel. Moagyae Awurade mmara so di, akodi Baal akyi.
19 Zvino danai vanhu muIsraeri yose kuti vazosangana neni paGomo reKarimeri. Muuyewo namazana mana namakumi mashanu avaprofita vaBhaari namazana mana avaprofita vaAshera vanodya patafura yaJezebheri.”
Enti frɛ Israel nnipa nyinaa na wommehyia me Karmel bepɔw so. Na fa Baal adiyifo ahannan aduonum ne Asera adiyifo ahannan a wodidi Isebel didipon so no nso bra.”
20 Saka Ahabhu akatuma shoko muIsraeri yose akaunganidza vaprofita paGomo reKarimeri.
Na Ahab soma kɔɔ Israel nyinaa kɔboaboaa adiyifo no ano wɔ Karmel bepɔw so.
21 Eria akaenda pamberi pavanhu akati, “Mucharamba muchifunga mifungo miviri kusvikira riniko? Kana Jehovha ari Mwari, muteverei; asi kana Bhaari ari Mwari, muteverei.” Asi vanhu havana chavakataura.
Elia dii nnipa no anim kae se, “Moadwene bɛyɛ ntanta wɔ saa asɛm yi ho akosi da bɛn? Sɛ Awurade yɛ Onyankopɔn a, munni nʼakyi, na sɛ Baal nso yɛ Onyankopɔn a, munni nʼakyi.” Nanso nnipa no yɛɛ dinn.
22 Zvino Eria akati kwavari, “Ini chete pavaprofita vaJehovha ndini ndasara, asi Bhaari ane vaprofita mazana mana namakumi mashanu.
Elia ka kyerɛɛ ɔman no se, “Me nko ara ne Awurade odiyifo a maka, nanso Baal wɔ adiyifo ahannan aduonum.
23 Titorerei hando mbiri. Ivo ngavazvisarudzire yavo, uye ngavaicheke-cheke kuita zvidimbu zvidimbu vagoiisa pamusoro pehuni, asi havafaniri kudzitungidza nomoto. Ini ndichagadzira imwe hando yacho ndigoiisa pamusoro pehuni asi handizodzitungidzi nomoto.
Momma yɛn anantwinini abien. Momma wonyi mu baako, na wontwitwa no asinasin mfa ngu nnyina so, nsɔ wɔn mu gya. Nantwinini baako a waka no, mɛyɛ ne ho adwuma de agu nnyina so a merento mu gya.
24 Ipapo mudane kuzita ramwari wenyu, uye ini ndichadana kuzita raJehovha. Mwari achapindura nomoto ndiye Mwari.” Ipapo vanhu vose vakati, “Zvawataura zvakanaka.”
Na mobɛfrɛ mo nyame na me nso mafrɛ Awurade. Onyame a ɔnam ogya so gye so no, ɔno ne Onyankopɔn.” Ɔmanfo no nyinaa penee so.
25 Eria akati kuvaprofita vaBhaari, “Sarudzai imwe yehando idzi mugotanga imi kuigadzira, sezvo makawanda. Danai kuzita ramwari wenyu, asi musatungidza moto.”
Elia ka kyerɛɛ Baal adiyifo no se, “Momfa anantwinini no baako, na munni kan nsiesie no, efisɛ mo dɔɔso. Momfrɛ mo nyame a, monnto mu gya.”
26 Saka vakatora hando yavakanga vapiwa vakaigadzira. Ipapo vakadana kuzita raBhaari kubvira mangwanani kusvikira masikati. Vakadanidzira vakati, “Bhaari, tipindure!” Asi mhinduro haina kuwanikwa; hapana akapindura. Vakatamba vachipoterera aritari yavakanga vaita.
Enti wɔfaa nantwinini a wɔkae se wɔmfa no no, siesiee no too afɔremuka no so. Afei, wɔfrɛɛ Baal, frɛɛ no, frɛɛ no fi anɔpa mu nyinaa se, “Ao, Baal! Tie yɛn oo!” Wɔteɛteɛɛ mu saa ara, nanso wɔannya mmuae biara! Afei wɔde anibere saw faa afɔremuka a wɔasi no ho hyiae.
27 Ava masikati, Eria akatanga kuvatuka akati, “Danidzirisai! Zvirokwazvo ndimwari! Zvichida ari kufunga zvakadzama kwazvo, kana kuti ane basa kwazvo, kana kuti ari parwendo. Zvimwe akavata zvokuti anotofanira kumutswa.”
Eduu owigyinae no, Elia dii wɔn ho fɛw se, “Monteɛteɛ mu den! Ɔyɛ onyame! Ebia, ɔredwen biribi ho denneennen anaa ɔregye nʼahome, onyaa adagyew anaa watu kwan. Ebi nso a, na wada a ɛsɛ sɛ wonyan no.”
28 Saka vakatonyanyisa kudanidzira, vakazvicheka-cheka neminondo namapfumo, setsika yavo, kusvikira ropa ravo raerera.
Enti wɔteɛteɛ mu den, de afoa twitwaa wɔn ho wɔn ho, wowɔɔ wɔn ho wɔn ho peaw sɛnea wɔn amanne te, maa mogya pram wɔn.
29 Masikati akapfuura, ivo vakaramba vachiprofita zveshungu kusvikira nguva yechibayiro chamanheru. Asi hapana chakaitika, hapana akapindura, hapana akaratidza hanya.
Owigyinae no twaa mu mpo no wɔtoaa wɔn nkɔmhyɛ no so, kosii anwummere afɔrebɔ bere no mu. Nanso mmuae biara amma. Wɔante obiara nne na obiara annye wɔn so.
30 Ipapo Eria akati kuvanhu vose, “Uyai kuno kwandiri.” Vakauya kwaari, iye akagadzira aritari yaJehovha yakanga yaputswa.
Afei, Elia ka kyerɛɛ ɔmanfo no nyinaa se, “Mommra me nkyɛn ha.” Wɔkɔɔ ne nkyɛn, na osiesiee Awurade afɔremuka a na abubu no.
31 Eria akatora mabwe gumi namaviri, rimwe chete rakamirira rudzi rumwe chete rwavanakomana vaJakobho, uyo akanga audzwa naJehovha kuti, “Zita rako richava Israeri.”
Elia faa abo dumien a baako biara gyina hɔ ma Israel abusuakuw baako,
32 Akashandisa mabwe aya kuvaka aritari muzita raJehovha, uye akachera mugero waipoteredza aritari wakanga wakakura zvokuti waikwana maseya maviri embeu.
na ɔde abo no san sii Awurade afɔremuka no. Na otwaa amoa a ne trɛw bɛyɛ anammɔn abiɛsa faa afɔremuka no ho hyiae.
33 Akaronga huni, akacheka hando kuita zvidimbu zvidimbu, akaiisa pamusoro pehuni. Ipapo akati kwavari, “Zadzai zvirongo zvikuru zvina nemvura mugoidira pamusoro pechipiriso napamusoro pehuni.”
Ɔde nnyansin guu afɔremuka no so, twitwaa nantwinini no asinasin guu so. Afei ɔkae se, “Monhyɛ nhina akɛse no nsu ma ma, na munhwie ngu afɔrebɔde no ne nnyansin no so.” Wɔyɛɛ nea ɔkae no wiei no,
34 Akati, “Pamhidzai zvakare,” ivo vakapamhazve. Akatizve, “Pamhidzai kechitatu.”
ɔkae se, “Monyɛ saa ara bio!” Na wɔyɛɛ saa wiei no, ɔkae se, “Monyɛ saa ne mprɛnsa so.” Wɔyɛɛ sɛnea ɔkae no,
35 Mvura yakaerera ichipoteredza aritari ikazadzawo nomugero.
maa nsu no sen faa afɔremuka no ho, maa mpo, ebu faa amoa no so.
36 Panguva yechibayiro, muprofita Eria akaenda pamberi akanamata akati, “Haiwa Jehovha, Mwari waAbhurahama, Isaka naIsraeri, ngazvizivikanwe nhasi kuti ndimi Mwari munyika yeIsraeri uye kuti ini ndiri muranda wenyu, uyewo kuti ndaita zvinhu zvose izvi sezvamakandirayira.
Eduu bere a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ anwummere afɔre, sɛnea wɔn amanne kyerɛ no, odiyifo Elia kɔɔ afɔremuka no so, bɔɔ mpae se, “Awurade, Abraham, Isak ne Yakob Nyankopɔn, kyerɛ nnɛ sɛ woyɛ Nyankopɔn wɔ Israel, na meyɛ wo somfo. Kyerɛ sɛ, nea mereyɛ yi nyinaa fi wo.
37 Haiwa Jehovha, ndipindurei, ndipindurei, kuitira kuti vanhu ava vazive kuti imi, Jehovha, ndimi Mwari, uye kuti muri kudzora mwoyo yavo zvakare.”
Awurade, tie me! Tie me na saa nnipa yi nyinaa nhu sɛ, Awurade, woyɛ Onyankopɔn a woatwe wɔn asan aba wo nkyɛn.”
38 Ipapo moto waJehovha wakaburuka ukapisa chibayiro, nehuni namabwe nevhu, ukananzva mvura yose yaiva mumugero.
Nʼano sii pɛ, na ogya a efi Awurade nkyɛn tew fii soro bɛhyew nantwinini ba no, nnyansin no, abo no ne mfutuma no. Mpo, ɛyow amoa no mu nsu no nyinaa.
39 Vanhu vose pavakaona izvi, vakawira pasi nezviso zvavo, vakadanidzira vachiti, “Jehovha ndiye Mwari! Jehovha ndiye Mwari!”
Nnipa no hui no, wɔde wɔn anim butubutuw fam, teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Awurade yɛ Onyankopɔn! Awurade yɛ Onyankopɔn!”
40 Ipapo Eria akavarayira akati, “Batai vaprofita vaBhaari. Musarega kana mumwe chete achipunyuka!” Vakavabata, uye Eria akaita kuti vaendeswe zasi kuMupata weKishoni vakandourayirwako.
Na Elia hyɛe se, “Monkyere Baal adiyifo no nyinaa. Mommma wɔn mu baako koraa nguan.” Enti ɔmanfo no kyekyeree wɔn nyinaa. Na Elia de wɔn kɔɔ Kison bon mu kokunkum wɔn wɔ hɔ.
41 Uye Eria akati kuna Ahabhu, “Chienda undodya uye unwe, nokuti kune kutinhira kwemvura zhinji.”
Elia ka kyerɛɛ Ahab se, “Kɔ na kodi aduan pa, ma wo ho ntɔ wo! Na mate sɛ osu kɛse bi rebɛtɔ.”
42 Saka Ahabhu akaenda kundodya nokunwa, asi Eria akakwira pamusoro pegomo reKarimeri, akakotamira pasi akaisa chiso chake pakati pamabvi ake.
Enti Ahab too pon. Na Elia foro kɔɔ Karmel bepɔw atifi, kobutuw fam, bɔɔ mpae.
43 Akaudza muranda wake kuti, “Enda undotarisa kwakadziva kugungwa.” Akakwira akandotarisa. Akati, “Hakuna chiriko uku.” Eria akati, “Dzokerazve,” kanomwe.
Na ɔka kyerɛɛ ne somfo se, “Kɔ na fa wʼani kyerɛ po so.” Ɔsomfo no kɔ kɔhwɛɛ hɔ, na ɔba bɛka kyerɛɛ Elia se, “Manhu hwee.” Elia kaa saa kyerɛɛ no mpɛn ason sɛ ɔmfa nʼani nkɔkyerɛ hɔ. Ɔno nso kɔɔ mpɛn ason.
44 Kechinomwe muranda akati, “Gore duku rakaenzana nechanza chomunhu riri kukwira richibva mugungwa.” Saka Eria akati, “Enda undoudza Ahabhu kuti, ‘Sunga ngoro yako uburuke usati wadzivirirwa nemvura.’”
Ne mpɛn ason so no, ne somfo no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mihuu omununkum bi a ɛte sɛ onipa abasa a apue afi po no so reforo.” Ɛhɔ ara na Elia teɛɛ mu se, “Ntɛm! Kɔ Ahab nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛ no. ‘Foro wo teaseɛnam no, na san kɔ fie. Sɛ woanka wo ho a, osu no besiw wo kwan.’”
45 Panguva imwe cheteyo denga rakasviba namakore, mhepo ikavhuvhuta, mvura zhinji ikauya, Ahabhu akaenda nengoro kuJezireeri.
Ankyɛ biara na osu munaa tumm. Osuframa bɔe, na osu kɛse tɔe, na ntɛm so, Ahab kɔɔ Yesreel.
46 Simba raJehovha rakauya pana Eria, akasunga jasi rake nebhanhire, akamhanya pamberi paAhabhu nzira yose kusvika kuJezireeri.
Afei, Awurade maa Elia ahoɔden sononko bi. Ɔkekaa nʼatade hyɛɛ nʼabɔso mu, na odii Ahab teaseɛnam no kan ara kosii Yesreel kwan ano.
