1 Ahemfo 18
1 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.”
Awo nga wayiseewo ebbanga lya myaka essatu kasookedde enkuba ebula, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Eriya nti, “Genda weerage eri Akabu, omutegeeze nti nditonnyesa enkuba ku nsi.”
2 Elia de ne ho kɔkyerɛɛ ɔhene Ahab. Na ɔkɔm no ano yɛɛ den yiye wɔ Samaria.
Awo Eriya n’agenda okweyanjula eri Akabu.
3 Ahab frɛɛ Obadia a na ɔhwɛ nʼahemfi so no. Na Obadia gye Awurade di yiye.
Mu biro ebyo enjala ng’ennyinnyitidde nnyo mu Samaliya, Akabu n’ayita Obadiya omukulu w’olubiri eyali assaamu ennyo Mukama ekitiibwa.
4 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.
Olwali olwo nga Yezeberi atandika okutta bannabbi bonna aba Mukama, Obadiya n’addira bannabbi kikumi n’abakweka mu mpuku bbiri buli emu ng’erimu amakumi ataano ataano, n’abaweeranga omwo emmere n’amazzi.
5 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.”
Akabu n’amugamba nti, “Tuuka buli wantu awali enzizi ez’amazzi n’awali obugga bwonna, oboolyawo tunaafuna omuddo ne tuwonya embalaasi zaffe n’ennyumbu okufa, tuleme okufiirwa ensolo zonna.”
6 Enti wɔkyɛɛ asase no mu maa wɔn ho. Ahab faa fa na Obadia nso faa fa.
Ne beeyawulamu bombi okubuna ensi, Akabu n’akwata ekkubo lye ne Obadiya n’akwata erirye.
7 Obadia nam no, Elia hyiaa no. Obadia huu no, kaee no nti, ɔkotow no wɔ fam kae se, “Enti wo ni, me wura Elia?”
Awo Obadiya bwe yali ng’ali ku lugendo lwe, Eriya n’amusisinkana. Obadiya bwe yamutegeera n’avuunama wansi n’agamba nti, “Ddala ggwe wuuyo, mukama wange Eriya?”
8 Elia buae se, “Yiw, kɔka kyerɛ wo wura se, ‘Elia wɔ ha.’”
N’addamu nti, “Ye nze. Genda ogambe mukama wo nti, ‘Eriya ali wano.’”
9 Obadia bisae se, “Me wura, dɛn bɔne na mayɛ a enti woresoma me Ahab nkyɛn ama wɔakum me yi?
Obadiya n’amugamba nti, “Kiki kye nkusobezza, okutuma omuddu wo eri Akabu ajja okunzita?
10 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.
Mukama Katonda wo nga bw’ali omulamu, tewali ggwanga oba bwakabaka mukama wange gy’atatumye mubaka kukunoonya. Era buli ggwanga, oba bwakabaka obwagambanga nti toliiyo, yabalayizanga okukakasa nti tobangayo.
11 Na afei, woka kyerɛ me sɛ menkɔ me wura nkyɛn nkɔka nkyerɛ no se, ‘Elia wɔ ha.’
Kaakano oŋŋamba ŋŋende ewa mukama wange njogere nti, ‘Eriya ali wano.’
12 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.
Simanyi Mwoyo wa Mukama gy’anaakutwala nga kyenzije nveewo. Bwe nnaagenda ne ntegeeza Akabu n’atakusangawo, ajja kunzita, ate nga nze omuddu wo okuva mu buto bwange, nsinza Mukama.
13 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.
Mukama wange totegeezebwanga, kye nakola nga Yezeberi atta bannabbi ba Mukama? Nakweka kikumi ku bannabbi ba Mukama mu mpuku bbiri, ataano ataano mu buli mpuku, era ne mbawa emigaati okulya n’amazzi okunywa.
14 Na afei, woka kyerɛ me se menkɔ me wura nkyɛn nkɔka nkyerɛ no se, ‘Elia wɔ ha!’ Obekum me!”
Kaakano, oŋŋamba ŋŋende ewa mukama wange mugambe nti, ‘Eriya ali wano.’ Ajja kunzita!”
15 Elia kaa se, “Mmere dodow a Awurade a mesom no te ase yi, nea ɛbɛyɛ biara, mede me ho bɛma Ahab nnɛ.”
Eriya n’amugamba, “Nga Mukama ow’Eggye bw’ali omulamu, gwe mpeereza, siireme kweraga eri Akabu leero.”
16 Enti Obadia kohyiaa Ahab, ka kyerɛɛ no, na Ahab kohyiaa Elia.
Awo Obadiya n’agenda okusisinkana Akabu, n’amutegeeza; Akabu n’ajja okusisinkana Eriya.
17 Ohuu Elia no, obisaa no se, “Wo ni, wo a wohaw Israelfo?”
Akabu bwe yalaba Eriya, n’amubuuza nti, “Ggwe wuuyo, gwe ateganya Isirayiri?”
18 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.
Eriya n’addamu nti, “Sinnateganya Isirayiri, naye ggwe n’ennyumba ya kitaawo, muvudde ku biragiro bya Mukama ne mugoberera ba Baali.
19 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.”
Kaakano kuŋŋaanya abantu bonna okuva mu Isirayiri yonna bajje ku lusozi Kalumeeri era oleete ne bannabbi ba Baali ebikumi ebina mu ataano wamu ne bannabbi ba Baaseri ebikumi ebina, abaliira ku mmeeza ya Yezeberi.”
20 Na Ahab soma kɔɔ Israel nyinaa kɔboaboaa adiyifo no ano wɔ Karmel bepɔw so.
Awo Akabu n’atumira abantu ba Isirayiri bonna, era n’akuŋŋaanya ne bannabbi bonna ku lusozi Kalumeeri.
21 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.
Awo Eriya n’ayimirira mu maaso g’abantu n’ayogera nti, “Mulituusa wa okutta aganaaga? Obanga Mukama ye Katonda mumugoberere, naye obanga Baali ye Katonda mugoberere oyo.” Naye abantu ne batamuddamu kigambo na kimu.
22 Elia ka kyerɛɛ ɔman no se, “Me nko ara ne Awurade odiyifo a maka, nanso Baal wɔ adiyifo ahannan aduonum.
Eriya n’abagamba nti, “Nze nsigaddewo nzekka ku bannabbi ba Mukama, naye Baali alina bannabbi ebikumi bina mu ataano.
23 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.
Kale mutuwe ente ennume bbiri, bo beerobozeeko emu, bagitemeeteme, bagiteeke ku nku, naye tebagikumamu. Nange naalongoosa eyookubiri, ne ngiteeka ku nku naye sijja kuzikumamu muliro.
24 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.
Kale oluvannyuma mukoowoole erinnya lya katonda wammwe, nange nnaakowoola erinnya lya Mukama; anaddamu n’omuliro nga ye Katonda.” Abantu bonna ne baddamu nti, “Ky’oyogedde kirungi.”
25 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.”
Eriya n’agamba bannabbi ba Baali nti, “Mmwe musooke okweroboza ente emu ennume nga bwe muli abangi, mugiteeketeeke. Mukoowoole erinnya lya katonda wammwe, naye temukoleeza muliro.”
26 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.
Ne batwala ente ebaweereddwa ne bagiteekateeka. Oluvannyuma ne bakoowoola erinnya lya Baali okuva ku makya okutuusa mu ttuntu. Ne baleekaanira waggulu nti, “Ayi Baali, otuwulire!” Naye ne wataba kuddibwamu, newaakubadde eddoboozi lyonna. Ne bazina nga beetooloola ekyoto kye baali bakoze.
27 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.”
Mu ssaawa ez’omu ttuntu Eriya n’atandika okubaduulira, ng’ayogera nti, “Muleekaane nnyo! Katonda ddala! Osanga ali mu birowoozo bingi, oba aliko ebimutawaanya, oba ali ku lugendo. Ayinza okuba nga yeebase, nga yeetaaga kumuzuukusa.”
28 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.
Ne baleekaana nnyo nga bwe beesala n’obwambe ne beefumita n’amafumu ng’empisa yaabwe bwe yali, okutuusa omusaayi lwe gwabakulukuta.
29 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.
Obudde bwali buyise nnyo, naye ne beeyongera okulagula kwabwe okutuusa ekiseera eky’ekiweebwayo eky’akawungeezi. Ne wataba kuddibwamu, newaakubadde eddoboozi lyonna, wadde assaayo omwoyo.
30 Afei, Elia ka kyerɛɛ ɔmanfo no nyinaa se, “Mommra me nkyɛn ha.” Wɔkɔɔ ne nkyɛn, na osiesiee Awurade afɔremuka a na abubu no.
Awo Eriya n’alyoka agamba abantu bonna nti, “Musembere kumpi nange.” Bonna ne bamusemberera, n’addaabiriza ekyoto kya Mukama ekyali kisuuliddwa.
31 Elia faa abo dumien a baako biara gyina hɔ ma Israel abusuakuw baako,
N’addira amayinja kkumi n’abiri, buli limu n’aliteeka ku linnaalyo ng’ebika bya Yakobo bwe byali, Mukama gwe yayogerako nti, “Erinnya lye linaabanga Isirayiri.”
32 na ɔde abo no san sii Awurade afɔremuka no. Na otwaa amoa a ne trɛw bɛyɛ anammɔn abiɛsa faa afɔremuka no ho hyiae.
N’azimba ekyoto mu linnya lya Mukama n’amayinja ago, n’asima olusalosalo okwetooloola ekyoto, ng’alugyamu lita kkumi na ttaano ez’amazzi.
33 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,
N’atindikira enku, n’atemaatema ente, n’agiteekako. N’alyoka abagamba nti, “Mujjuze ebibya bina amazzi, mugafuke ku kiweebwayo ne ku nku.”
34 ɔkae se, “Monyɛ saa ara bio!” Na wɔyɛɛ saa wiei no, ɔkae se, “Monyɛ saa ne mprɛnsa so.” Wɔyɛɛ sɛnea ɔkae no,
N’abagamba baddemu bakole bwe batyo omulundi ogwokubiri, ne bakiddamu, ate era n’abagamba okuddamu omulundi ogwokusatu ne baddamu ogwokusatu nga bwe yalagira.
35 maa nsu no sen faa afɔremuka no ho, maa mpo, ebu faa amoa no so.
Amazzi ne gakulukuta okwetooloola ekyoto, n’okujjula ne gajjula olusalosalo.
36 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.
Mu kiseera eky’ekiweebwayo eky’akawungeezi, nnabbi Eriya n’asembera mu maaso n’asaba nti, “Ayi Mukama, Katonda wa Ibulayimu, owa Isaaka ne Isirayiri, olwa leero kimanyibwe nti ggwe Katonda mu Isirayiri, era nti nze muddu wo, era nkoze ebintu bino byonna olw’ekigambo kyo.
37 Awurade, tie me! Tie me na saa nnipa yi nyinaa nhu sɛ, Awurade, woyɛ Onyankopɔn a woatwe wɔn asan aba wo nkyɛn.”
Onziremu, Ayi Mukama, onziremu, abantu bano bamanye, Ayi Mukama nti ggwe Katonda, era nti ggwe okyusa emitima gyabwe okudda gy’oli.”
38 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.
Omuliro gwa Mukama ne gulyoka gugwa ne gwokya ekiweebwayo, n’enku, n’amayinja, n’ettaka, ne gumalirawo ddala n’amazzi mu lusalosalo.
39 Nnipa no hui no, wɔde wɔn anim butubutuw fam, teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Awurade yɛ Onyankopɔn! Awurade yɛ Onyankopɔn!”
Awo abantu bonna bwe baakiraba, ne bavuunama ne bakaaba nnyo nga bagamba nti, “Mukama, ye Katonda! Mukama, ye Katonda!”
40 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.
Eriya n’alyoka abalagira nti, “Mukwate bannabbi ba Baali, waleme okuba n’omu abaddukako.” Ne babakwata, Eriya n’abaserengesa ku kagga Kisoni, n’abattira eyo.
41 Elia ka kyerɛɛ Ahab se, “Kɔ na kodi aduan pa, ma wo ho ntɔ wo! Na mate sɛ osu kɛse bi rebɛtɔ.”
Eriya n’agamba Akabu nti, “Genda olye, n’okunywa onywe; kubanga waliwo okubwatuka kw’enkuba ey’amaanyi.”
42 Enti Ahab too pon. Na Elia foro kɔɔ Karmel bepɔw atifi, kobutuw fam, bɔɔ mpae.
Awo Akabu n’agenda okulya n’okunywa, naye Eriya n’alinnya ku ntikko y’olusozi Kalumeeri, n’akutama, n’ateeka omutwe gwe wakati w’amaviivi ge.
43 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.
N’agamba omuweereza we nti, “Yambuka, olengere okwolekera ennyanja.” Omuweereza n’agenda n’alaba n’akomawo n’amugamba nti, “Teri kye ndabyewo.” Eriya n’amugamba addeyo emirundi musanvu.
44 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.’”
Ku mulundi ogw’omusanvu omuweereza n’akomawo n’agamba nti, “Laba, ekire ekitono ekyenkana ng’omukono gw’omuntu kyambuka okuva mu nnyanja.” Eriya n’amugamba nti, “Genda ogambe Akabu nti, ‘Teekateeka eggaali lyo, oserengete, enkuba nga tennakuziyiza.’”
45 Ankyɛ biara na osu munaa tumm. Osuframa bɔe, na osu kɛse tɔe, na ntɛm so, Ahab kɔɔ Yesreel.
Mu kiseera kyekimu, eggulu ne libindabinda, kibuyaga ne yeeyongera, enkuba ey’amaanyi n’ejja, Akabu n’ayolekera e Yezuleeri.
46 Afei, Awurade maa Elia ahoɔden sononko bi. Ɔkekaa nʼatade hyɛɛ nʼabɔso mu, na odii Ahab teaseɛnam no kan ara kosii Yesreel kwan ano.
Amaanyi ga Mukama ne gakka ku Eriya ne yeesiba ekimyu, n’adduka ng’akulembedde Akabu okutuuka e Yezuleeri.
