1 Wafalme 19
1 Ahabu akamwambia Yezebeli mambo yote ambayo Eliya amefanya na jinsi alivyowaua manabii wote kwa upanga.
Forsothe Achab telde to Jezabel alle thingis whiche Elie hadde do, and how he hadde slayn by swerd alle the prophetis of Baal.
2 Ndipo Yezebeli alipotuma mjumbe kwa Eliya, akisema, “miungu wanifanye hivyo na mimi, na zaidi yake, kama kesho muda kama huu sitayafanya maisha yako kuwa kama mmoja wa hao manabii waliokufa.”
And Jezabel sente a messanger to Elie, and seide, Goddis do these thingis to me, and adde these thingis, no but to morewe in this our Y schal putte thi lijf as the lijf of oon of hem.
3 Eliya aliposikia hayo, akaiinuka na akakimbia kwa ajili ya kuokoa maisha yake akaja mpaka Beerisheba, ambao ni mji wa Yuda, na akamwacha mtumishi wake huko.
Therfor Elie dredde, and roos, and yede whidur euer wille bar hym; and he cam in to Bersabe of Juda, and he lefte there his child;
4 Lakini yeye mwenyewe akaenda mwendo wa siku moja huko jangwani, akaja akakaa chini ya mti wa mretemu. Akajiombea mwenyewe kufa, akasema, “Sasa yatosha, BWANA, ichukue roho yangu, kwa kuwa mimi si mzuri kuliko mababu zangu waliokufa.”
and yede in to deseert, the weie of o dai. And whanne he cam, and sat vndir o iunypere tre, he axide to his soule, that he schulde die; and he seide, Lord, it suffisith to me, take my soule; for Y am not betere than my fadris.
5 Kwa hiyo akalala chini ya mretemu. Ghafula malaika akamgusa na akamwambia, “Inuka ule.”
And he castide forth hym silf, and slepte in the schadewe of the iunypere tree. And lo! the aungel of the Lord touchide hym, and seide to hym, Rise thou, and ete.
6 Eliya akatazama, karibu na kichwa chake kulikuwa na mkate uliokuwa umeokwa kwa mkaa na gudulia la maji. Kwa hiyo akala na kunywa na kulala tena.
He bihelde, and, lo! at his heed was a loof bakun vndur aischis, and a vessel of watir. Therfor he ete, and drank, and slepte eft.
7 Malaika wa BWANA akaja tena mara ya pili akamgusa na kumwambia, “Inuka ule, kwa sababu safari bado ndefu kwako.”
And the aungel of the Lord turnede ayen the secounde tyme, and touchide hym; and `the aungel seide to hym, Rise thou, and ete; for a greet weie is to thee.
8 Kwa hiyo akainuka na kula na kunywa, naye akasafiri kwa nguvu ya chakula hicho kwa siku arobaini mchana na usiku hata akafika Horebu, mlima wa Mungu.
And whanne he hadde rise, he ete, and drank; and he yede in the strengthe of that mete bi fourti dayes and fourti nyytis, `til to Oreb, the hil of God.
9 Akaingia kwenye pango akakaa humo. Kisha neno la BWANA likamjia likimwambia, “Unafanya nini hapa, Eliya?”
And whanne he hadde come thidur, he dwellide in a denne; and lo! the word of the Lord `was maad to him, and seide to hym, Elie, what doist thou here?
10 Eliya akajibu, “Nimeona wivu mwingi kwa BWANA, Mungu wa majeshi, kwa kuwa watu wa Israeli wameliacha agano lako, wameziharibu madhabahu zako, na wamewaua manabii wako kwa upanga. Sasa ni mimi, pekee yangu, nimebaki na wanataka kuichukua roho yangu.
And he answeride, Bi feruent loue Y louede feruentli, for the Lord God of oostis; for the sones of Israel forsoken the couenaunt of the Lord; thei destrieden thin auters, and killiden bi swerd thi prophetis; and Y am left aloone, and thei seken my lijf, that thei do it awei.
11 BWANA akamwambia, “Nenda nje ukasimame kwenye mlima mbele yangu.” Kisha BWANA akapita, na upepo mkali ukaupiga mlima ukavunja miamba katika vipande vipande mbele ya BWANA, lakini BWANA hakuwemo kwenye huo mlima. Kisha baada ya upepo, tetemeko lakaja, lakini BWANA hakuwemo kwenye hilo tetemeko.
And he seide to Elie, Go thou out, and stonde in the hil, bifor the Lord. And lo! the Lord passith, and a greet wynde, and strong, turnynge vpsodoun hillis, and al to brekinge stonys bifor the Lord; not in the wynde ys the Lord. And aftir the wynd is a stirynge; not in the stiryng is the Lord.
12 Kisha baada ya tetemeko, moto ukaja, lakini BWANA hakuwemo kwenye moto. Ndipo baada ya moto, sauti ya upole ikaja.
And aftir the stiryng is fier; not in the fier is the Lord. And aftir the fier is the issyng of thinne wynd; there is the Lord.
13 Naye Eliya alipoisikia sauti, akafunika uso wake kwa vazi lake, akatoka nje, akasimama kwenye lango la hilo pango. Na sauti ikaja kwake ikisema, “unafanya nini hapa?,
And whanne Elie hadde herd this, he hilide his face with a mentil, and he yede out, and stood in the dore of the denne. And a vois spak to hym, and seide, Elie, what doist thou here?
14 Eliya akajibu, “nimeona wivu sana kwa ajili ya BWANA, Muungu wa majeshi, kwa kuwa watu wa Israeli wameliacha agano lako, wamezihariibu madhabahu zako, na wamewaua manabii kwa upanga. Sasa, ni mimi pekee yangu, nimebaki na wanajaribu kuichukua roho yangu.”
And he answeride, Bi feruent loue Y louede feruentli, for the Lord God of oostis; for the sones of Israel forsoken thi couenaunt; thei distrieden thin auteris, and thei killiden bi swerd thi prophetis; and Y am left aloone, and thei seken my lijf, that thei do it awey.
15 Kisha BWANA akamwambia, “Nenda, rudi kwa njia yako kwenye jangwa la Dameski, na utakapofika utamtia mafuta Hazaeli awe Mfalme wa Shamu,
And the Lord seide to hym, Go, and turne ayen in to thi weie, bi the deseert, in to Damask; and whanne thou schalt come thidur, thou schalt anoynte Asahel kyng on Sirie;
16 na utamtia mafuta Yehu mwana wa Nimshi kuwa mfalme wa Israeli, na utamtia mafuta Elisha mwana wa Shafeti wa Abeli Mehola kuwa nabii mahali pako.
and thou schalt anoynte kyng on Israel Hieu, the sone of Namsi; sotheli thou schalt anoynte prophete for thee, Elise, sone of Saphat, which is of Abelmeula.
17 Itakuwa hivi Yehu atamwua kila mmoja atakayejaribu kutoroka upanga wa Hazaeli, na kwamba Elisha atamwua kila atakayejaribu kukwepa upanga wa Yehu.
And it schal be, who euer schal fle the swerd of Asahel, Hieu schal sle hym; and who euer schal fle the swerd of Hieu, Elise schal sle hym.
18 Lakini nitawaacha watu elfu saba katika Israeli kwa ajili yangu, ambao magoti yao hayajawahi kupigwa kwa Baali, na ambao midomo yao haijambusu.”
And Y schal leeue to me in Israel seuene thousynde of men, of whiche the knees ben not bowid bifor Baal, and ech mouth that worschipide not hym, and kisside hond.
19 Kwa hiyo Eliya akaondoka mahali pale na akamkuta Elisha mwana wa Shafati, akilima na jozi za makisai kumi na mbili mbele yake, na yeye mwenyewe alikuwa akilima na ile jozi ya kumi na mbili. Eliya akaenda mpaka kwa Elisha akamtupia vazi lake juu yake.
Therfor Elie yede forth fro thennus, and foond Elise, sone of Saphat, erynge in twelue yockis of oxis; and he was oon in the twelue yockis of oxys, erynge. And whanne Elie hadde come to hym, Elie castide his mentil on hym.
20 Elisha naye akawaacha wale makisai akamkimbilia Eliya; akamwambia, “Tafadhali naomba nikambusu baba yangu na mama yangu kisha nitakufuata.” Naye Eliya akamwambia, “Rudi, lakini fikiria juu ya kile nilichokufanyia.”
Which ran anoon after Elie, whanne the oxis weren left, and seide, Y preie thee, kysse Y my fadir and my modir, and so Y schal sue thee. And Elie seide to hym, Go thou, and turne ayen, for Y haue do to thee that that was myn.
21 Kwa hiyo Elisha akarudi toka kwa Eliya na akachukua ile jozi ya makisai, akawaua wale wanyama, na akapika ile nyama kwa kuni za ile nira. Kisha akawapa watu wakala. Kisha akaamka, akamfuata Eliya akamtumikia.
`Sotheli he turnede ayen fro Elie, and took tweine oxis, and killide hem; and with the plow of oxis he sethide the fleischis, and yaf to the puple, and thei eeten; and he roos, and yede, and suede Elie, and `mynystride to hym.
