1 Wafalme 18
1 Baada ya muda mrefu, katika mwaka wa tatu, neno la Bwana likamjia Eliya kusema, “Nenda ukajionyeshe kwa Ahabu na mimi nitanyesha mvua juu ya nchi.”
and to be day many and word LORD to be to(wards) Elijah in/on/with year [the] third to/for to say to go: went to see: see to(wards) Ahab and to give: give rain upon face: surface [the] land: country
2 Kwa hiyo Eliya akaenda kujionyesha kwa Ahabu. Wakati huu njaa ilikuwa kali sana katika Samaria,
and to go: went Elijah to/for to see: see to(wards) Ahab and [the] famine strong in/on/with Samaria
3 naye Ahabu alikuwa amemwita Obadia ambaye alikuwa msimamizi wa jumba lake la kifalme. (Obadia alimcha Bwana sana.
and to call: call to Ahab to(wards) Obadiah which upon [the] house: household and Obadiah to be afraid [obj] LORD much
4 Wakati Yezebeli alipokuwa akiwaua manabii wa Bwana, Obadia alikuwa amewachukua manabii mia moja na kuwaficha katika mapango mawili, hamsini kwenye kila moja na akawa akiwapa chakula na maji.)
and to be in/on/with to cut: eliminate Jezebel [obj] prophet LORD and to take: take Obadiah hundred prophet and to hide them fifty man in/on/with cave and to sustain them food: bread and water
5 Ahabu alikuwa amemwambia Obadia, “Nenda katika nchi yote kwenye vijito vyote na mabonde. Huenda tunaweza kupata majani ya kuwalisha farasi na nyumbu wapate kuishi ili tusilazimike kuwaua hata mmoja wa wanyama wetu.”
and to say Ahab to(wards) Obadiah to go: went in/on/with land: country/planet to(wards) all spring [the] water and to(wards) all [the] torrent: valley perhaps to find grass and to live horse and mule and not to cut: lack from [the] animal
6 Kwa hiyo wakagawanya nchi waliyokusudia kutafuta majani, Ahabu akaenda upande mmoja na Obadia upande mwingine.
and to divide to/for them [obj] [the] land: country/planet to/for to pass in/on/with her Ahab to go: went in/on/with way: direction one to/for alone him and Obadiah to go: went in/on/with way: direction one to/for alone him
7 Wakati Obadia alipokuwa akitembea njiani, Eliya akakutana naye. Obadia akamtambua, akamsujudia hadi nchi na kusema, “Je, hivi kweli ni wewe, bwana wangu Eliya?”
and to be Obadiah in/on/with way: journey and behold Elijah to/for to encounter: meet him and to recognize him and to fall: fall upon face his and to say you(m. s.) this lord my Elijah
8 Eliya akamjibu, “Ndiyo, nenda ukamwambie bwana wako Ahabu, ‘Eliya yuko hapa.’”
and to say to/for him I to go: went to say to/for lord your behold Elijah
9 Obadia akamuuliza, “Ni kosa gani nimefanya, hata ukaamua kumkabidhi mtumishi wako mkononi mwa Ahabu ili aniue?
and to say what? to sin for you(m. s.) to give: give [obj] servant/slave your in/on/with hand: power Ahab to/for to die me
10 Hakika kama Bwana Mungu wako aishivyo, hakuna taifa hata moja au ufalme ambapo bwana wangu hajamtuma mtu kukutafuta. Kila wakati taifa au ufalme walipodai kwamba haupo huko, aliwafanya waape kwamba hawakuweza kukupata.
alive LORD God your if: surely no there nation and kingdom which not to send: depart lord my there to/for to seek you and to say nothing and to swear [obj] [the] kingdom and [obj] [the] nation for not to find you
11 Lakini sasa unaniambia niende kwa bwana wangu na kusema, ‘Eliya yuko hapa.’
and now you(m. s.) to say to go: went to say to/for lord your behold Elijah
12 Sijui ni wapi Roho wa Bwana ataamua kukupeleka wakati nitakapokuacha. Kama nikienda kumwambia Ahabu na asikupate, ataniua. Hata hivyo mimi mtumishi wako nimemwabudu Bwana tangu ujana wangu.
and to be I to go: went from with you and spirit LORD to lift: bear you upon which not to know and to come (in): come to/for to tell to/for Ahab and not to find you and to kill me and servant/slave your afraid [obj] LORD from youth my
13 Je, hukusikia, bwana wangu, nilifanya nini wakati Yezebeli alipokuwa akiua manabii wa Bwana? Niliwaficha manabii wa Bwana mia moja katika mapango mawili, hamsini katika kila moja, nami nikawapatia chakula na maji.
not to tell to/for lord my [obj] which to make: do in/on/with to kill Jezebel [obj] prophet LORD and to hide from prophet LORD hundred man fifty fifty man in/on/with cave and to sustain them food: bread and water
14 Nawe sasa unaniambia niende kwa bwana wangu na kumwambia, ‘Eliya yuko hapa.’ Yeye ataniua!”
and now you(m. s.) to say to go: went to say to/for lord your behold Elijah and to kill me
15 Eliya akasema, “Kama Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote aishivyo, yeye ninayemtumikia, hakika nitajionyesha kwa Ahabu leo.”
and to say Elijah alive LORD Hosts which to stand: stand to/for face: before his for [the] day to see: see to(wards) him
16 Basi Obadia akaenda kukutana na Ahabu na kumwambia, naye Ahabu akaenda kukutana na Eliya.
and to go: went Obadiah to/for to encounter: meet Ahab and to tell to/for him and to go: went Ahab to/for to encounter: meet Elijah
17 Ahabu alipomwona Eliya, akamwambia, “Je, ni wewe, mtaabishaji wa Israeli?”
and to be like/as to see: see Ahab [obj] Elijah and to say Ahab to(wards) him you(m. s.) this to trouble Israel
18 Eliya akamjibu, “Mimi sijaitaabisha Israeli. Lakini wewe na jamaa ya baba yako ndio mnaofanya hivyo. Mmeziacha amri za Bwana na mkafuata Mabaali.
and to say not to trouble [obj] Israel that if: except if: except you(m. s.) and house: household father your in/on/with to leave: forsake you [obj] commandment LORD and to go: follow after [the] Baal
19 Sasa waite watu kutoka Israeli yote tukutane nao juu ya Mlima Karmeli. Nawe uwalete hao manabii wa Baali mia nne na hamsini na hao manabii mia nne wa Ashera, walao chakula mezani mwa Yezebeli.”
and now to send: depart to gather to(wards) me [obj] all Israel to(wards) mountain: mount [the] (Mount) Carmel and [obj] prophet [the] Baal four hundred and fifty and prophet [the] Asherah four hundred to eat table Jezebel
20 Ndipo Ahabu akatuma ujumbe katika Israeli yote na kuwakusanya manabii hao juu ya mlima Karmeli.
and to send: depart Ahab in/on/with all son: descendant/people Israel and to gather [obj] [the] prophet to(wards) mountain: mount [the] (Mount) Carmel
21 Eliya akasimama mbele ya watu na kusema, “Mtasitasita katika mawazo mawili hadi lini? Ikiwa Bwana ndiye Mungu, mfuateni yeye; lakini ikiwa Baali ni Mungu, basi mfuateni yeye.” Lakini watu hawakusema kitu.
and to approach: approach Elijah to(wards) all [the] people and to say till how you(m. p.) to limp upon two [the] division if LORD [the] God to go: follow after him and if [the] Baal to go: follow after him and not to answer [the] people [obj] him word
22 Kisha Eliya akawaambia, “Ni mimi peke yangu nabii wa Bwana aliyebaki, lakini Baali ana manabii mia nne na hamsini.
and to say Elijah to(wards) [the] people I to remain prophet to/for LORD to/for alone me and prophet [the] Baal four hundred and fifty man
23 Leteni mafahali wawili. Wao na wajichagulie mmoja, wamkate vipande vipande na waweke juu ya kuni lakini wasiiwashie moto. Nitamwandaa huyo fahali mwingine na kumweka juu ya kuni lakini sitawasha moto.
and to give: give to/for us two bullock and to choose to/for them [the] bullock [the] one and to cut him and to set: put upon [the] tree: wood and fire not to set: put and I to make [obj] [the] bullock [the] one and to give: put upon [the] tree: wood and fire not to set: put
24 Kisha mliitie jina la mungu wenu, nami nitaliitia jina la Bwana Mungu yule ambaye atajibu kwa moto, huyo ndiye Mungu.” Kisha watu wote wakasema, “Hilo unalosema ni jema.”
and to call: call to in/on/with name God your and I to call: call to in/on/with name LORD and to be [the] God which to answer in/on/with fire he/she/it [the] God and to answer all [the] people and to say pleasant [the] word: speaking
25 Eliya akawaambia manabii wa Baali, “Chagueni mmoja kati ya hawa mafahali na mwe wa kwanza kumwandaa, kwa kuwa ninyi mko wengi sana. Liitieni jina la mungu wenu, lakini msiwashe moto.”
and to say Elijah to/for prophet [the] Baal to choose to/for you [the] bullock [the] one and to make first for you(m. p.) [the] many and to call: call to in/on/with name God your and fire not to set: put
26 Kwa hiyo wakamchukua yule fahali waliyepewa, nao wakamwandaa. Kisha wakaliitia jina la Baali kutoka asubuhi hadi adhuhuri, wakapiga kelele, “Ee Baali, utujibu!” Lakini hapakuwa na jibu; hakuna aliyejibu. Nao wakacheza kuizunguka madhabahu waliyoijenga.
and to take: take [obj] [the] bullock which to give: give to/for them and to make and to call: call to in/on/with name [the] Baal from [the] morning and till [the] midday to/for to say [the] Baal to answer us and nothing voice and nothing to answer and to limp upon [the] altar which to make
27 Wakati wa adhuhuri, Eliya akaanza kuwadhihaki, akisema, “Pigeni kelele zaidi! Hakika yeye ni mungu! Labda amezama katika mawazo mazito, au ana shughuli nyingi, au amesafiri. Labda amelala usingizi mzito, naye ni lazima aamshwe.”
and to be in/on/with midday and to mock in/on/with them Elijah and to say to call: call out in/on/with voice great: large for God he/she/it for complaint and for pursuing to/for him and for way: journey to/for him perhaps sleeping he/she/it and to awake
28 Kwa hiyo wakapiga kelele zaidi na kama ilivyokuwa desturi yao wakajichanja wenyewe kwa visu na vyembe, mpaka damu ikachuruzika.
and to call: call out in/on/with voice great: large and to cut like/as justice: custom their in/on/with sword and in/on/with spear till to pour: pour blood upon them
29 Adhuhuri ikapita, nao wakaendelea na utabiri wao wa kiwazimu mpaka wakati wa dhabihu ya jioni. Lakini hapakuwa na jibu, hakuna aliyejibu, hakuna aliyeangalia.
and to be like/as to pass [the] midday and to prophesy till to/for to ascend: offer up [the] offering and nothing voice and nothing to answer and nothing attentiveness
30 Kisha Eliya akawaambia watu wote, “Sogeeni karibu nami.” Watu wote wakamkaribia, naye akakarabati madhabahu ya Bwana, ambayo ilikuwa imevunjwa.
and to say Elijah to/for all [the] people to approach: approach to(wards) me and to approach: approach all [the] people to(wards) him and to heal [obj] altar LORD [the] to overthrow
31 Eliya akachukua mawe kumi na mawili, moja kwa ajili ya kila kabila la wana wa Yakobo, ambaye neno la Bwana lilimjia, likisema, “Jina lako litakuwa Israeli.”
and to take: take Elijah two ten stone like/as number tribe son: descendant/people Jacob which to be word LORD to(wards) him to/for to say Israel to be name your
32 Kwa mawe hayo, akajenga madhabahu katika jina la Bwana, na akachimba handaki kuizunguka, ukubwa wa kutosha vipimo viwili vya mbegu.
and to build [obj] [the] stone altar in/on/with name LORD and to make conduit like/as house: container seah seed around to/for altar
33 Akapanga kuni, akamkata yule fahali vipande vipande na kuvipanga juu ya kuni. Kisha akawaambia, “Jazeni mapipa manne maji na kuyamwaga juu ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa na juu ya kuni.”
and to arrange [obj] [the] tree: wood and to cut [obj] [the] bullock and to set: put upon [the] tree: wood and to say to fill four jar water and to pour: pour upon [the] burnt offering and upon [the] tree: wood
34 Akawaambia, “Fanyeni hivyo tena.” Nao wakafanya hivyo tena. Akaagiza, “Fanyeni kwa mara ya tatu.” Nao wakafanya hivyo kwa mara ya tatu.
and to say to repeat and to repeat and to say to do three and to do three
35 Maji yakatiririka kuizunguka madhabahu na hata kujaza lile handaki.
and to go: walk [the] water around to/for altar and also [obj] [the] conduit to fill water
36 Wakati wa kutoa dhabihu ya jioni, nabii Eliya akasogea mbele na kuomba, akisema: “Ee Bwana, Mungu wa Abrahamu, na Isaki na Israeli, ijulikane leo kwamba wewe ndiye Mungu katika Israeli na ya kwamba mimi ni mtumishi wako na nimefanya mambo haya yote kwa neno lako.
and to be in/on/with to ascend: offer up [the] offering and to approach: approach Elijah [the] prophet and to say LORD God Abraham Isaac and Israel [the] day: today to know for you(m. s.) God in/on/with Israel and I servant/slave your (and in/on/with word your *Q(K)*) to make: do [obj] all [the] word [the] these
37 Unijibu mimi, Ee Bwana, nijibu mimi, ili watu hawa wajue kwamba wewe, Ee Bwana, ndiwe Mungu, na kwamba unaigeuza mioyo yao ikurudie tena.”
to answer me LORD to answer me and to know [the] people [the] this for you(m. s.) LORD [the] God and you(m. s.) to turn: turn [obj] heart their backwards
38 Kisha moto wa Bwana ukashuka na kuiteketeza ile dhabihu, zile kuni, yale mawe, ule udongo, na pia kuramba yale maji yaliyokuwa ndani ya handaki.
and to fall: fall fire LORD and to eat [obj] [the] burnt offering and [obj] [the] tree: wood and [obj] [the] stone and [obj] [the] dust and [obj] [the] water which in/on/with conduit to lick
39 Wakati watu wote walipoona hili, wakaanguka kifudifudi na kulia, “Bwana: yeye ndiye Mungu! Bwana: yeye ndiye Mungu!”
and to see: see all [the] people and to fall: fall upon face their and to say LORD he/she/it [the] God LORD he/she/it [the] God
40 Kisha Eliya akawaamuru, “Wakamateni hao manabii wa Baali. Msimwache hata mmoja atoroke!” Wakawakamata, naye Eliya akawaleta mpaka Bonde la Kishoni na kuwachinja huko.
and to say Elijah to/for them to capture [obj] prophet [the] Baal man: anyone not to escape from them and to capture them and to go down them Elijah to(wards) torrent: valley Kishon and to slaughter them there
41 Eliya akamwambia Ahabu, “Nenda, ukale na kunywa, kwa kuwa kuna sauti ya mvua kubwa.”
and to say Elijah to/for Ahab to ascend: rise to eat and to drink for voice: sound crowd [the] rain
42 Hivyo Ahabu akaondoka ili kula na kunywa. Lakini Eliya akapanda kileleni mwa Karmeli, akasujudu na akaweka kichwa chake katikati ya magoti yake.
and to ascend: rise Ahab to/for to eat and to/for to drink and Elijah to ascend: rise to(wards) head: top [the] (Mount) Carmel and to bend (down) land: soil [to] and to set: put face his between (knee his *Q(K)*)
43 Akamwambia mtumishi wake, “Nenda ukatazame kuelekea bahari.” Akaenda na kutazama. Akasema, “Hakuna kitu chochote huko.” Mara saba Eliya akasema, “Nenda tena.”
and to say to(wards) youth his to ascend: rise please to look way: direction sea and to ascend: rise and to look and to say nothing anything and to say to return: again seven beat
44 Mara ya saba, mtumishi akaleta taarifa, “Wingu dogo kama mkono wa mwanadamu linainuka kutoka baharini.” Hivyo Eliya akasema, “Nenda ukamwambie Ahabu, ‘Tandika gari lako na ushuke kabla mvua haijakuzuia.’”
and to be in/on/with seventh and to say behold cloud small like/as palm man to ascend: rise from sea and to say to ascend: rise to say to(wards) Ahab to bind and to go down and not to restrain you [the] rain
45 Wakati ule ule anga likawa jeusi kwa mawingu, upepo ukainuka na mvua kubwa ikanyesha, naye Ahabu akaenda zake Yezreeli.
and to be till thus and till thus and [the] heaven be dark cloud and spirit: breath and to be rain great: large and to ride Ahab and to go: went Jezreel [to]
46 Nguvu za Bwana zikamjia Eliya, naye akajikaza viuno, akakimbia mbele ya Ahabu njia yote hadi maingilio ya Yezreeli.
and hand: power LORD to be to(wards) Elijah and to gird loin his and to run: run to/for face: before Ahab till to come (in): towards you Jezreel [to]
