1 Wafalme 18
1 Kwa hiyo baada ya siku nyingi neno la BWANA likamjia Eliya, katika mwaka wa tatu wa ukame, likisema, “Nenda ukajionyeshe mwenyewe kwa Ahabu nami nitainyeshea ardhi mvua.”
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 Eliya akaenda kujionyesha mwenyewe kwa Ahabu; sasa njaa ilikuwa kali sana kule Samaria.
and to go: went Elijah to/for to see: see to(wards) Ahab and [the] famine strong in/on/with Samaria
3 Ahabu akamwita Obadia, aliyekuwa mkuu wa ikulu. Obadia alimheshimu sana BWANA,
and to call: call to Ahab to(wards) Obadiah which upon [the] house: household and Obadiah to be afraid [obj] LORD much
4 kwa kuwa wakati Yezebeli alipokuwa akiwaua manabii wa BWANA, Obadia alichukua manabii mia akawaficha katika makundi ya hamsini hamsini katika pango na akawalisha kwa mikate 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 akamwambia Obadia, “Pita katika nchi yote na katika chemichemi zote za maji na vijito. Yamkini tunaweza kupata maji na nyasi ili tuwaokoa hawa farasi na nyumbu, ili tusiwakose wanyama wote.”
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 wakaigawa nchi kati yao ili wapite kati yake wakitafuta maji. Ahabu akaenda njia yake mwenyewe na Obadia naye akaenda njia yake.
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 akiwa njiani, akakutana na Eliya pasipo kutegemea. Obadia akamtambua na akalala kifudifudi chini. Akamwambia, “Ndiye 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 Naye Eliya akamjibu, Ni mimi. Nenda umwambie bwana wako, 'Tazama, Eliya yuko hapa.'”
and to say to/for him I to go: went to say to/for lord your behold Elijah
9 Obadia akamjibu. “Nimekoseaje, kwamba umtoe mtumishi wako katika mkono wa 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 Kama BWANA Mungu wako aishivyo, hakuna taifa wala ufalme ambapo bwana wangu hajatuma watu kukutafuta. Kila taifa au ufalme unaposema, “Eliya hayuko hapa,' Ahabu hufanya waape ni kweli hawajakuona.
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 Na sasa wewe unasema, 'Nenda, ukamwambie bwana wako kwamba Eliya yuko hapa.'
and now you(m. s.) to say to go: went to say to/for lord your behold Elijah
12 Mara tu baada ya kukuacha Roho wa BWANA atakuchukua na kukupeleka mahali ambapo sitapajua. Kisha nikienda na kumwambia Ahabu, na asipokuona, ataniua. Bado, mimi, mtumishi wako, nimekuwa nikimwabudu BWANA kutoka 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, haujaambiwa, bwana wangu, nilichokifanya wakati Yezebeli alipowaua manabii wa BWANA, jinsi nilivyowaficha wale manabii mia moja wa BWANA katika makundi ya hamsini kwenye pango na kuwalisha kwa mikate 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 Na sasa unasema, 'Nenda umwambie bwana wako kwamba Eliya yuko hapa,' kwa hiyo ataniua.”
and now you(m. s.) to say to go: went to say to/for lord your behold Elijah and to kill me
15 Ndipo Eliya alipomjibu, “Kama vile BWANA wa majeshi aishivyo, ambaye mimi ninasimama, Kwa hakika nitajionyeshakwa 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 Kwa hiyo Obadia akaenda kukutana na Ahabu, nakumwambia kile Eliya alichokuwa amemwambia. Ndipo mfalme alipoenda 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? Wewe mtabishaji 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 akamwambia, “Mimi sijaitabisha Israeli, Lakiini wewe na familia ya baba yako ndio watabishaji kwa kuziacha amri za BWANA na kufuata sanamu za Baali.
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 Kwa hiyo sasa, Tuma neno na unikusanyie Israeli yote katika mlima Kameli, pamoja na manabii 450 wa Baali na wale manabii 400 wa Ashera wanaokula kwenye meza ya 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 Kwa hiyo Ahabu akatuma neno kwa watu wote wa Israeli na akawakusanya manabii wote kwenye mlima Kameli.
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 akaja karibu na watu wote akasema, “Mtaendelea kubadilisha mawazo yenu mpaka lini? Kama BWANA ni Mungu, mfuateni yeye, Lakini kama Baali ni Mungu, basi mfuateni yeye,” Lakini watu hawakumjibu neno.
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 wale watu, “Mimi, pekee yangu, ndiye niliyebaki kuwa nabii wa BWANA, lakini manabii wa Baali wako 450.
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 Hebu tutoleeni ng'ombe wawili. Nao wajichagulie ng'ombe mmoja na wamchinje na kumkatakata katika vipnde, na wamweke kwenye kuni, na wasitie moto chini yake. Nami nitamwandaa yule wa pili na kumweke juu ya kuni nami sitatia moto chini yake.
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 mtaliita jina la mungu wenu, nami nitaliita jina la BWANA, na Mungu atakayejibu kwa moto, huyo ndiye Mungu.” Watu wote wakajibu na kusema, “Hilo ni jambo 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 Kwa Eliya akawaambia manabii wa Baali, “Chagueni ng'ombe mmoja kwa ajili yenu na mwe wa kwanza kumwamdaa, kwa kuwa ninyi ni wengi, Kisha liiteni 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 Nao wakamchukua yule ng'ombe waliokuwa wamepewa na wakamwandaa, na ndipo walipoliita jina la Baali kuanzia asubuhi hadi adhuhuri, wakisema, “Baali, tusikie.” Lakini hapakuwepo na Sauti, na wala hakuna aliyejibu. Wakachezacheza kuizunguka madhabahu waliyotengeneza.
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 Ilipofika adhuhuri Eliya akawakejeli akisema, “Mwiteni kwa nguvu! Huyo ni mungu! labda anawaza kitu, au amepumzika, au yuko safarini, au pengine amelala sharti 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 wakamwita kwa nguvu, wakajikatakata kama kawaida yao ilivyokuwa, kwa upanga na nyembe, mpaka damu ikawachuruzika.
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 Ikawa wakati wa adhuhuri ulipopita, na bado walikuwa wakiendelea kutabiri mpaka wakati wa jioni wa kutoa dhabihu, lakini hapakuwepo na sauti wala mtu wa kuwajibu; wala hapakuwepo na yeyote wa kujibu wala wa kuangalia.
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, “Nisogeleeni,” na watu wote wakamsogelea. Naye akatengeneza ile madhabahu ya BWANA ambayo ilikuwa imeharibika.
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, kila jiwe moja liliwakilisha kabila moja la wana wa Yakobo - ni kupitia Yakobo kwamba neno la BWANA lilikuja, likisema, “Jina lako litakuwa Israel.”
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 kutumia hayo mawe aliijenga ile madhabahu kwa jina la BWANA na akachimba mfereji kuizunguka ile madhabahu kubwa kiasi cha kubeba lita kumi na tano za maji.
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 Kisha akaweka kuni kwa ajili ya moto na akamkatakata yule ng'ombe katika vipande vipande na akaweka vile vipande juu ya kuni. Na akasema, “Vijazeni maji hivyo vyombo na yamwageni kwenye hiyo sadaka ya kueketezwa na juu ya hizo 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 Akasema tena fanyeni hivyo mara ya pili,” nao wakafanya kwa mara ya pili. kisha akasema, “Fanyeni mara ya tatu,” nao wakafanya kwa mara ya tatu.
and to say to repeat and to repeat and to say to do three and to do three
35 Maji yakaizunguka ile madhabahu na kuujaza ule mfereji.
and to go: walk [the] water around to/for altar and also [obj] [the] conduit to fill water
36 Ikawa wakati wa kutoa dhabihu ya jioni, nabii Eliya akasogea na akasema, “BWANA, Mungu wa Abrahamu, na wa Isaka, na wa Israeli, na ijulikane leo kwamba wewe ndiye Mungu wa Israeli, na kwamba mimi ni mtumishi wako, na kwamba nimeyafanya mambo haya yote kwa jina 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 Nisikie, BWANA, nisike, ili hawa watu wajue kuwa wewe, BWANA, ndiye Mungu, na kwamba umeirudisha mioyo yao kwako 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 Ndipo moto wa BWANA ukashuka ukairamba ile sadaka, pamoja na zile kuni, mawe na mavumbi, na kuyaramba yale maji yaliyokuwa kwenye ule mfereji.
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 watu wote walipoona haya, wakalala kifudifudi chini wakasema, “BWANA, ndiye Mungu! BWANA 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 Kwa hiyo Eliya akawaambia, “Wakamateni manabii wa Baali. Msimwache hata mmoja wao atoroke.” Kwa hiyo wakawakamata, na Eliya akawaleta manabii wa Baali chini kwenye kijito cha Kishoni na akawaua 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, “Inuka, ule 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 Kwa hiyo Ahabu akaenda akala na knywa. Kisha Eliya akaenda juu ya mlima Kameli, akasudu chini na akaweka uso wake katikati ya magoti.
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 sasa, utazame upande wa bahari.” mtumishi wake akaenda na akasema, “Hakuna kitu,” Eliya akamwambia, “Nenda tena, mpaka mara saba.”
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 Ile mara ya saba mtumishi wake akasema, “Tazama, kuna wingu linapanda kutoka baharini, ni dogo kama mkono wa mtu.” Eliya akamjibu, Nenda ukamwambie Ahabu, 'Andaa 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 Ikatokea baada ya muda mfupi mbingu zikawa nyeusi kwa mawingu na upepo, na kulikuwa na mvua kubwa. Ahabu akapanda gari 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 lakini mkono wa BWANA ulikuwa juu ya Eliya. Akalikaza vazi lake kwa mshipi wake na akakimbia mbele ya Ahabu kwenye lango la 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]
