< 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.”
καὶ ἐγένετο μεθ’ ἡμέρας πολλὰς καὶ ῥῆμα κυρίου ἐγένετο πρὸς Ηλιου ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ τῷ τρίτῳ λέγων πορεύθητι καὶ ὄφθητι τῷ Αχααβ καὶ δώσω ὑετὸν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τῆς γῆς
2 Eliya akaenda kujionyesha mwenyewe kwa Ahabu; sasa njaa ilikuwa kali sana kule Samaria.
καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ηλιου τοῦ ὀφθῆναι τῷ Αχααβ καὶ ἡ λιμὸς κραταιὰ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ
3 Ahabu akamwita Obadia, aliyekuwa mkuu wa ikulu. Obadia alimheshimu sana BWANA,
καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Αχααβ τὸν Αβδιου τὸν οἰκονόμον καὶ Αβδιου ἦν φοβούμενος τὸν κύριον σφόδρα
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.
καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ τύπτειν τὴν Ιεζαβελ τοὺς προφήτας κυρίου καὶ ἔλαβεν Αβδιου ἑκατὸν ἄνδρας προφήτας καὶ ἔκρυψεν αὐτοὺς κατὰ πεντήκοντα ἐν σπηλαίῳ καὶ διέτρεφεν αὐτοὺς ἐν ἄρτῳ καὶ ὕδατι
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.”
καὶ εἶπεν Αχααβ πρὸς Αβδιου δεῦρο καὶ διέλθωμεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐπὶ πηγὰς τῶν ὑδάτων καὶ ἐπὶ χειμάρρους ἐάν πως εὕρωμεν βοτάνην καὶ περιποιησώμεθα ἵππους καὶ ἡμιόνους καὶ οὐκ ἐξολοθρευθήσονται ἀπὸ τῶν κτηνῶν
6 Kwa hiyo wakaigawa nchi kati yao ili wapite kati yake wakitafuta maji. Ahabu akaenda njia yake mwenyewe na Obadia naye akaenda njia yake.
καὶ ἐμέρισαν ἑαυτοῖς τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ διελθεῖν αὐτήν Αχααβ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδῷ μιᾷ μόνος καὶ Αβδιου ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδῷ ἄλλῃ μόνος
7 Wakati Obadia akiwa njiani, akakutana na Eliya pasipo kutegemea. Obadia akamtambua na akalala kifudifudi chini. Akamwambia, “Ndiye wewe, bwana wangu Eliya?”
καὶ ἦν Αβδιου ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ μόνος καὶ ἦλθεν Ηλιου εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτοῦ μόνος καὶ Αβδιου ἔσπευσεν καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν εἰ σὺ εἶ αὐτός κύριέ μου Ηλιου
8 Naye Eliya akamjibu, Ni mimi. Nenda umwambie bwana wako, 'Tazama, Eliya yuko hapa.'”
καὶ εἶπεν Ηλιου αὐτῷ ἐγώ πορεύου λέγε τῷ κυρίῳ σου ἰδοὺ Ηλιου
9 Obadia akamjibu. “Nimekoseaje, kwamba umtoe mtumishi wako katika mkono wa Ahabu ili aniue?
καὶ εἶπεν Αβδιου τί ἡμάρτηκα ὅτι δίδως τὸν δοῦλόν σου εἰς χεῖρα Αχααβ τοῦ θανατῶσαί με
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.
ζῇ κύριος ὁ θεός σου εἰ ἔστιν ἔθνος ἢ βασιλεία οὗ οὐκ ἀπέσταλκεν ὁ κύριός μου ζητεῖν σε καὶ εἶπον οὐκ ἔστιν καὶ ἐνέπρησεν τὴν βασιλείαν καὶ τὰς χώρας αὐτῆς ὅτι οὐχ εὕρηκέν σε
11 Na sasa wewe unasema, 'Nenda, ukamwambie bwana wako kwamba Eliya yuko hapa.'
καὶ νῦν σὺ λέγεις πορεύου ἀνάγγελλε τῷ κυρίῳ σου ἰδοὺ Ηλιου
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.
καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν ἐγὼ ἀπέλθω ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ πνεῦμα κυρίου ἀρεῖ σε εἰς γῆν ἣν οὐκ οἶδα καὶ εἰσελεύσομαι ἀπαγγεῖλαι τῷ Αχααβ καὶ ἀποκτενεῖ με καὶ ὁ δοῦλός σού ἐστιν φοβούμενος τὸν κύριον ἐκ νεότητος αὐτοῦ
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?
ἦ οὐκ ἀπηγγέλη σοι τῷ κυρίῳ μου οἷα πεποίηκα ἐν τῷ ἀποκτείνειν Ιεζαβελ τοὺς προφήτας κυρίου καὶ ἔκρυψα ἀπὸ τῶν προφητῶν κυρίου ἑκατὸν ἄνδρας ἀνὰ πεντήκοντα ἐν σπηλαίῳ καὶ ἔθρεψα ἐν ἄρτοις καὶ ὕδατι
14 Na sasa unasema, 'Nenda umwambie bwana wako kwamba Eliya yuko hapa,' kwa hiyo ataniua.”
καὶ νῦν σὺ λέγεις μοι πορεύου λέγε τῷ κυρίῳ σου ἰδοὺ Ηλιου καὶ ἀποκτενεῖ με
15 Ndipo Eliya alipomjibu, “Kama vile BWANA wa majeshi aishivyo, ambaye mimi ninasimama, Kwa hakika nitajionyeshakwa Ahabu leo.”
καὶ εἶπεν Ηλιου ζῇ κύριος τῶν δυνάμεων ᾧ παρέστην ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ὅτι σήμερον ὀφθήσομαι αὐτῷ
16 Kwa hiyo Obadia akaenda kukutana na Ahabu, nakumwambia kile Eliya alichokuwa amemwambia. Ndipo mfalme alipoenda kukutana na Eliya.
καὶ ἐπορεύθη Αβδιου εἰς συναντὴν τῷ Αχααβ καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῷ καὶ ἐξέδραμεν Αχααβ καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς συνάντησιν Ηλιου
17 Ahabu alipomwona Eliya, akamwambia, “Je, ni wewe? Wewe mtabishaji wa Israeli!”
καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἶδεν Αχααβ τὸν Ηλιου καὶ εἶπεν Αχααβ πρὸς Ηλιου εἰ σὺ εἶ αὐτὸς ὁ διαστρέφων τὸν Ισραηλ
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.
καὶ εἶπεν Ηλιου οὐ διαστρέφω τὸν Ισραηλ ὅτι ἀλλ’ ἢ σὺ καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ πατρός σου ἐν τῷ καταλιμπάνειν ὑμᾶς τὸν κύριον θεὸν ὑμῶν καὶ ἐπορεύθης ὀπίσω τῶν Βααλιμ
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.”
καὶ νῦν ἀπόστειλον συνάθροισον πρός με πάντα Ισραηλ εἰς ὄρος τὸ Καρμήλιον καὶ τοὺς προφήτας τῆς αἰσχύνης τετρακοσίους καὶ πεντήκοντα καὶ τοὺς προφήτας τῶν ἀλσῶν τετρακοσίους ἐσθίοντας τράπεζαν Ιεζαβελ
20 Kwa hiyo Ahabu akatuma neno kwa watu wote wa Israeli na akawakusanya manabii wote kwenye mlima Kameli.
καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Αχααβ εἰς πάντα Ισραηλ καὶ ἐπισυνήγαγεν πάντας τοὺς προφήτας εἰς ὄρος τὸ Καρμήλιον
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.
καὶ προσήγαγεν Ηλιου πρὸς πάντας καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ηλιου ἕως πότε ὑμεῖς χωλανεῖτε ἐπ’ ἀμφοτέραις ταῖς ἰγνύαις εἰ ἔστιν κύριος ὁ θεός πορεύεσθε ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ εἰ δὲ ὁ Βααλ αὐτός πορεύεσθε ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ λαὸς λόγον
22 Kisha Eliya akawaambia wale watu, “Mimi, pekee yangu, ndiye niliyebaki kuwa nabii wa BWANA, lakini manabii wa Baali wako 450.
καὶ εἶπεν Ηλιου πρὸς τὸν λαόν ἐγὼ ὑπολέλειμμαι προφήτης τοῦ κυρίου μονώτατος καὶ οἱ προφῆται τοῦ Βααλ τετρακόσιοι καὶ πεντήκοντα ἄνδρες καὶ οἱ προφῆται τοῦ ἄλσους τετρακόσιοι
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.
δότωσαν ἡμῖν δύο βόας καὶ ἐκλεξάσθωσαν ἑαυτοῖς τὸν ἕνα καὶ μελισάτωσαν καὶ ἐπιθέτωσαν ἐπὶ τῶν ξύλων καὶ πῦρ μὴ ἐπιθέτωσαν καὶ ἐγὼ ποιήσω τὸν βοῦν τὸν ἄλλον καὶ πῦρ οὐ μὴ ἐπιθῶ
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.”
καὶ βοᾶτε ἐν ὀνόματι θεῶν ὑμῶν καὶ ἐγὼ ἐπικαλέσομαι ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ μου καὶ ἔσται ὁ θεός ὃς ἐὰν ἐπακούσῃ ἐν πυρί οὗτος θεός καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς καὶ εἶπον καλὸν τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ ἐλάλησας
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.”
καὶ εἶπεν Ηλιου τοῖς προφήταις τῆς αἰσχύνης ἐκλέξασθε ἑαυτοῖς τὸν μόσχον τὸν ἕνα καὶ ποιήσατε πρῶτοι ὅτι πολλοὶ ὑμεῖς καὶ ἐπικαλέσασθε ἐν ὀνόματι θεοῦ ὑμῶν καὶ πῦρ μὴ ἐπιθῆτε
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.
καὶ ἔλαβον τὸν μόσχον καὶ ἐποίησαν καὶ ἐπεκαλοῦντο ἐν ὀνόματι τοῦ Βααλ ἐκ πρωίθεν ἕως μεσημβρίας καὶ εἶπον ἐπάκουσον ἡμῶν ὁ Βααλ ἐπάκουσον ἡμῶν καὶ οὐκ ἦν φωνὴ καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἀκρόασις καὶ διέτρεχον ἐπὶ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου οὗ ἐποίησαν
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.”
καὶ ἐγένετο μεσημβρίᾳ καὶ ἐμυκτήρισεν αὐτοὺς Ηλιου ὁ Θεσβίτης καὶ εἶπεν ἐπικαλεῖσθε ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ ὅτι θεός ἐστιν ὅτι ἀδολεσχία αὐτῷ ἐστιν καὶ ἅμα μήποτε χρηματίζει αὐτός ἢ μήποτε καθεύδει αὐτός καὶ ἐξαναστήσεται
28 Kwa hiyo wakamwita kwa nguvu, wakajikatakata kama kawaida yao ilivyokuwa, kwa upanga na nyembe, mpaka damu ikawachuruzika.
καὶ ἐπεκαλοῦντο ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ καὶ κατετέμνοντο κατὰ τὸν ἐθισμὸν αὐτῶν ἐν μαχαίραις καὶ σειρομάσταις ἕως ἐκχύσεως αἵματος ἐπ’ αὐτούς
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.
καὶ ἐπροφήτευον ἕως οὗ παρῆλθεν τὸ δειλινόν καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ὁ καιρὸς τοῦ ἀναβῆναι τὴν θυσίαν καὶ οὐκ ἦν φωνή καὶ ἐλάλησεν Ηλιου ὁ Θεσβίτης πρὸς τοὺς προφήτας τῶν προσοχθισμάτων λέγων μετάστητε ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν καὶ ἐγὼ ποιήσω τὸ ὁλοκαύτωμά μου καὶ μετέστησαν καὶ ἀπῆλθον
30 Kisha Eliya akawaambia watu wote, “Nisogeleeni,” na watu wote wakamsogelea. Naye akatengeneza ile madhabahu ya BWANA ambayo ilikuwa imeharibika.
καὶ εἶπεν Ηλιου πρὸς τὸν λαόν προσαγάγετε πρός με καὶ προσήγαγεν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς πρὸς αὐτόν
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.”
καὶ ἔλαβεν Ηλιου δώδεκα λίθους κατ’ ἀριθμὸν φυλῶν τοῦ Ισραηλ ὡς ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγων Ισραηλ ἔσται τὸ ὄνομά σου
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.
καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν τοὺς λίθους ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου καὶ ἰάσατο τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ κατεσκαμμένον καὶ ἐποίησεν θααλα χωροῦσαν δύο μετρητὰς σπέρματος κυκλόθεν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου
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.”
καὶ ἐστοίβασεν τὰς σχίδακας ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ὃ ἐποίησεν καὶ ἐμέλισεν τὸ ὁλοκαύτωμα καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ἐπὶ τὰς σχίδακας καὶ ἐστοίβασεν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον
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.
καὶ εἶπεν λάβετέ μοι τέσσαρας ὑδρίας ὕδατος καὶ ἐπιχέετε ἐπὶ τὸ ὁλοκαύτωμα καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς σχίδακας καὶ ἐποίησαν οὕτως καὶ εἶπεν δευτερώσατε καὶ ἐδευτέρωσαν καὶ εἶπεν τρισσώσατε καὶ ἐτρίσσευσαν
35 Maji yakaizunguka ile madhabahu na kuujaza ule mfereji.
καὶ διεπορεύετο τὸ ὕδωρ κύκλῳ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ τὴν θααλα ἔπλησαν ὕδατος
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.
καὶ ἀνεβόησεν Ηλιου εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ εἶπεν κύριε ὁ θεὸς Αβρααμ καὶ Ισαακ καὶ Ισραηλ ἐπάκουσόν μου κύριε ἐπάκουσόν μου σήμερον ἐν πυρί καὶ γνώτωσαν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς οὗτος ὅτι σὺ εἶ κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ κἀγὼ δοῦλός σου καὶ διὰ σὲ πεποίηκα τὰ ἔργα ταῦτα
37 Nisikie, BWANA, nisike, ili hawa watu wajue kuwa wewe, BWANA, ndiye Mungu, na kwamba umeirudisha mioyo yao kwako tena.”
ἐπάκουσόν μου κύριε ἐπάκουσόν μου ἐν πυρί καὶ γνώτω ὁ λαὸς οὗτος ὅτι σὺ εἶ κύριος ὁ θεὸς καὶ σὺ ἔστρεψας τὴν καρδίαν τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου ὀπίσω
38 Ndipo moto wa BWANA ukashuka ukairamba ile sadaka, pamoja na zile kuni, mawe na mavumbi, na kuyaramba yale maji yaliyokuwa kwenye ule mfereji.
καὶ ἔπεσεν πῦρ παρὰ κυρίου ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ κατέφαγεν τὸ ὁλοκαύτωμα καὶ τὰς σχίδακας καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ἐν τῇ θααλα καὶ τοὺς λίθους καὶ τὸν χοῦν ἐξέλιξεν τὸ πῦρ
39 watu wote walipoona haya, wakalala kifudifudi chini wakasema, “BWANA, ndiye Mungu! BWANA ndiye Mungu!
καὶ ἔπεσεν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν καὶ εἶπον ἀληθῶς κύριός ἐστιν ὁ θεός αὐτὸς ὁ θεός
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.
καὶ εἶπεν Ηλιου πρὸς τὸν λαόν συλλάβετε τοὺς προφήτας τοῦ Βααλ μηθεὶς σωθήτω ἐξ αὐτῶν καὶ συνέλαβον αὐτούς καὶ κατάγει αὐτοὺς Ηλιου εἰς τὸν χειμάρρουν Κισων καὶ ἔσφαξεν αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ
41 Eliya akamwambia Ahabu, “Inuka, ule na kunywa, kwa kuwa kuna sauti ya mvua kubwa.”
καὶ εἶπεν Ηλιου τῷ Αχααβ ἀνάβηθι καὶ φάγε καὶ πίε ὅτι φωνὴ τῶν ποδῶν τοῦ ὑετοῦ
42 Kwa hiyo Ahabu akaenda akala na knywa. Kisha Eliya akaenda juu ya mlima Kameli, akasudu chini na akaweka uso wake katikati ya magoti.
καὶ ἀνέβη Αχααβ τοῦ φαγεῖν καὶ πιεῖν καὶ Ηλιου ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὸν Κάρμηλον καὶ ἔκυψεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ ἔθηκεν τὸ πρόσωπον ἑαυτοῦ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν γονάτων ἑαυτοῦ
43 Akamwambia mtumishi wake, “Nenda sasa, utazame upande wa bahari.” mtumishi wake akaenda na akasema, “Hakuna kitu,” Eliya akamwambia, “Nenda tena, mpaka mara saba.”
καὶ εἶπεν τῷ παιδαρίῳ αὑτοῦ ἀνάβηθι καὶ ἐπίβλεψον ὁδὸν τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ ἐπέβλεψεν τὸ παιδάριον καὶ εἶπεν οὐκ ἔστιν οὐθέν καὶ εἶπεν Ηλιου καὶ σὺ ἐπίστρεψον ἑπτάκι καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν τὸ παιδάριον ἑπτάκι
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.'”
καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἑβδόμῳ καὶ ἰδοὺ νεφέλη μικρὰ ὡς ἴχνος ἀνδρὸς ἀνάγουσα ὕδωρ καὶ εἶπεν ἀνάβηθι καὶ εἰπὸν τῷ Αχααβ ζεῦξον τὸ ἅρμα σου καὶ κατάβηθι μὴ καταλάβῃ σε ὁ ὑετός
45 Ikatokea baada ya muda mfupi mbingu zikawa nyeusi kwa mawingu na upepo, na kulikuwa na mvua kubwa. Ahabu akapanda gari akaenda zake Yezreeli,
καὶ ἐγένετο ἕως ὧδε καὶ ὧδε καὶ ὁ οὐρανὸς συνεσκότασεν νεφέλαις καὶ πνεύματι καὶ ἐγένετο ὑετὸς μέγας καὶ ἔκλαιεν καὶ ἐπορεύετο Αχααβ εἰς Ιεζραελ
46 lakini mkono wa BWANA ulikuwa juu ya Eliya. Akalikaza vazi lake kwa mshipi wake na akakimbia mbele ya Ahabu kwenye lango la Yezreeli.
καὶ χεὶρ κυρίου ἐπὶ τὸν Ηλιου καὶ συνέσφιγξεν τὴν ὀσφὺν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔτρεχεν ἔμπροσθεν Αχααβ ἕως Ιεζραελ
