1 Kings 18
1 Ó sì ṣe, lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ púpọ̀, ní ọdún kẹta, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ Elijah wá pé, “Lọ, kí o sì fi ara rẹ̀ hàn fún Ahabu, èmi yóò sì rọ òjò sórí ilẹ̀.”
After many dayes, the worde of the Lord came to Eliiah, in the third yeere, saying, Goe, shewe thy selfe vnto Ahab, and I will sende rayne vpon the earth.
2 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Elijah lọ fi ara rẹ̀ han Ahabu. Ìyàn ńlá sì mú ní Samaria,
And Eliiah went to shew himselfe vnto Ahab, and there was a great famine in Samaria.
3 Ahabu sì ti pe Obadiah, ẹni tí ń ṣe olórí ilé rẹ̀. Obadiah sì bẹ̀rù Olúwa gidigidi.
And Ahab called Obadiah the gouernour of his house: (and Obadiah feared God greatly:
4 Nígbà tí Jesebeli sì ń pa àwọn wòlíì Olúwa kúrò, Obadiah sì mú ọgọ́rùn-ún wòlíì, ó sì fi wọ́n pamọ́ sínú ihò òkúta, àádọ́ta ní ihò kọ̀ọ̀kan, ó sì fi àkàrà pẹ̀lú omi bọ́ wọn.
For when Iezebel destroyed the Prophets of the Lord, Obadiah tooke an hundreth Prophets, and hid them, by fiftie in a caue, and he fed them with bread and water.)
5 Ahabu sì ti wí fún Obadiah pé, “Lọ sí gbogbo ilẹ̀ sí orísun omi gbogbo àti sí ilẹ̀ gbogbo. Bóyá àwa lè rí koríko láti gba àwọn ẹṣin àti àwọn ìbáaka là, kí a má bá à ṣòfò àwọn ẹranko pátápátá.”
And Ahab saide vnto Obadiah, Goe into the land, vnto all the fountaines of water, and vnto all the riuers, if so be that we may finde grasse to saue the horses and the mules aliue, lest we depriue the lande of the beastes.
6 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì pín ilẹ̀ tí wọ́n fẹ́ dé láàrín ara wọn, Ahabu gba ọ̀nà kan lọ, Obadiah sì gba ọ̀nà mìíràn lọ.
And so they deuided the lande betweene them to walke thorowe it. Ahab went one way by him selfe, and Obadiah went another way by him selfe.
7 Bí Obadiah sì ti ń rìn lọ, Elijah sì pàdé rẹ̀. Obadiah sì mọ̀ ọ́n, ó dojúbolẹ̀, ó sì wí pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ ni nítòótọ́, Elijah, olúwa mi?”
And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Eliiah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art not thou my lord Eliiah?
8 Elijah sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, lọ kí o sọ fún olúwa rẹ pé, ‘Elijah ń bẹ níhìn-ín.’”
And he answered him, Yea, goe tell thy lord, Behold, Eliiah is here.
9 Obadiah sì béèrè pé, “Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ kí ni mo ha dá tí ìwọ fi ń fi ìránṣẹ́ rẹ lé Ahabu lọ́wọ́ láti pa?
And he said, What haue I sinned, that thou wouldest deliuer thy seruant into the hande of Ahab, to slay me?
10 Mo mọ̀ dájú pé bí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ ti ń bẹ, kò sí orílẹ̀-èdè tàbí ìjọba kan tí olúwa mi kò ti rán ènìyàn lọ láti wò ọ́. Àti nígbà tí orílẹ̀-èdè tàbí ìjọba kan bá wí pé o kò sí, òun a sì mú kí wọ́n búra wí pé wọn kò rí ọ.
As the Lord thy God liueth, there is no nation or kingdome, whither my lorde hath not sent to seeke thee: and when they sayd, He is not here, he tooke an othe of the kingdome and nation, if they had not found thee.
11 Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, ìwọ wí fún mi pé kí n lọ sọ́dọ̀ olúwa mi, kí n sì wí pé, ‘Elijah ń bẹ níhìn-ín.’
And now thou sayest, Goe, tell thy lorde, Beholde, Eliiah is here.
12 Èmi kò sì mọ ibi tí ẹ̀mí Olúwa yóò gbé ọ lọ nígbà tí mo bá fi ọ́ sílẹ̀. Bí mo bá lọ, tí mo sì sọ fún Ahabu, tí kò sì rí ọ, òun a sì pa mí. Síbẹ̀ èmi ìránṣẹ́ rẹ bẹ̀rù Olúwa láti ìgbà èwe mi wá.
And when I am gone from thee, the Spirit of the Lord shall cary thee into some place that I doe not know: so when I come and tell Ahab, if he cannot finde thee, then wil he kill me: But I thy seruant feare the Lord from my youth.
13 Ṣé Olúwa mi kò ha ti gbọ́ ohun tí mo ṣe nígbà tí Jesebeli ń pa àwọn wòlíì Olúwa? Mo fi ọgọ́rùn-ún wòlíì Olúwa pamọ́ sínú ihò òkúta méjì, àràádọ́ta ní ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan, mo sì fi omi àti oúnjẹ bọ́ wọn.
Was it not tolde my lord, what I did when Iezebel slew the Prophets of the Lord, how I hid an hundreth men of the Lordes Prophets by fifties in a caue, and fed them with bread and water?
14 Ìwọ sì sọ fún mi nísinsin yìí pé, kí n tọ olúwa mi lọ pé, ‘Elijah ń bẹ níhìn-ín.’ Òun a sì pa mí!”
And now thou sayest, Go, tel thy lord, Behold, Eliiah is here, that he may slay me.
15 Elijah sì wí pé, “Bí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ti wà, ẹni tí èmi ń sìn, nítòótọ́ èmi yóò fi ara mi hàn fún Ahabu lónìí.”
And Eliiah said, As the Lord of hostes liueth, before whome I stand, I will surely shewe my selfe vnto him this day.
16 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Obadiah sì lọ láti pàdé Ahabu, ó sì sọ fún un, Ahabu sì lọ láti pàdé Elijah.
So Obadiah went to meete Ahab, and tolde him: And Ahab went to meete Eliiah.
17 Nígbà tí Ahabu sì rí Elijah, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ṣé ìwọ nìyìí, ìwọ tí ń yọ Israẹli lẹ́nu?”
And when Ahab saw Eliiah, Ahab said vnto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
18 Elijah sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Èmi kò yọ Israẹli lẹ́nu, bí kò ṣe ìwọ àti ilé baba rẹ. Ẹ ti kọ òfin Olúwa sílẹ̀, ẹ sì ń tọ Baali lẹ́yìn.
And he answered, I haue not troubled Israel, but thou, and thy fathers house, in that ye haue forsaken the commandements of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim.
19 Nísinsin yìí kó gbogbo Israẹli jọ láti pàdé mi lórí òkè Karmeli. Àti kí o sì mú àádọ́ta lé ní irinwó àwọn wòlíì Baali àti irinwó àwọn wòlíì òrìṣà Aṣerah tí wọ́n ń jẹun ní tábìlì Jesebeli.”
Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel vnto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal foure hundreth and fiftie, and the prophets of the groues foure hundreth, which eate at Iezebels table.
20 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Ahabu ránṣẹ́ sí gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, ó sì kó àwọn wòlíì jọ sí orí òkè Karmeli.
So Ahab sent vnto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together vnto mount Carmel.
21 Elijah sì lọ síwájú gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn, ó sì wí pé, “Yóò ti pẹ́ tó tí ẹ̀yin yóò máa ṣiyèméjì? Bí Olúwa bá ni Ọlọ́run, ẹ máa tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn, ṣùgbọ́n bí Baali bá ni Ọlọ́run, ẹ máa tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn.” Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn náà kò sì wí ohun kan.
And Eliiah came vnto all the people, and said, How long halt ye betweene two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal be he, then goe after him. And the people answered him not a worde.
22 Nígbà náà ni Elijah wí fún wọn pé, “Èmi nìkan ṣoṣo ni ó kù ní wòlíì Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n, àádọ́ta lé ní irinwó ni wòlíì Baali.
Then said Eliiah vnto the people, I onely remayne a Prophet of the Lord: but Baals prophets are foure hundreth and fiftie men.
23 Ẹ fún wa ní ẹgbọrọ akọ màlúù méjì. Jẹ́ kí wọn kí ó sì yan ẹgbọrọ akọ màlúù kan fún ara wọn, kí wọn kí ó sì gé e sí wẹ́wẹ́, kí wọn kí ó sì tò ó sí orí igi, kí wọn kí ó má ṣe fi iná sí i. Èmi yóò sì tún ẹgbọrọ akọ màlúù kejì ṣe, èmi yóò sì tò ó sórí igi, èmi kì yóò sì fi iná sí i.
Let them therefore giue vs two bullockes, and let them chuse the one, and cut him in pieces, and lay him on the wood, but put no fire vnder, and I will prepare the other bullocke, and lay him on the wood, and will put no fire vnder.
24 Nígbà náà ẹ ó sì ké pe orúkọ àwọn Ọlọ́run yín, èmi yóò sì ké pe orúkọ Olúwa. Ọlọ́run náà tí ó fi iná dáhùn, òun ni Ọlọ́run.” Nígbà náà ni gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà sì wí pé, “Ohun tí ìwọ sọ dára.”
Then call ye on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the Lord: and then the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered, and sayde, It is well spoken.
25 Elijah sì wí fún àwọn wòlíì Baali wí pé, “Ẹ yan ẹgbọrọ akọ màlúù kan fún ara yín, kí ẹ sì tètè kọ́ ṣe é, nítorí ẹ̀yin pọ̀. Ẹ ké pe orúkọ àwọn ọlọ́run yín, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ má ṣe fi iná sí i.”
And Eliiah said vnto the prophets of Baal, Chuse you a bullocke, and prepare him first, (for ye are many) and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire vnder.
26 Nígbà náà ni wọ́n sì mú ẹgbọrọ akọ màlúù náà, tí a ti fi fún wọn, wọ́n sì ṣe é. Nígbà náà ni wọ́n sì ké pe orúkọ Baali láti òwúrọ̀ títí di ọ̀sán gangan wí pé, “Baali! Dá wa lóhùn!” Wọ́n sì ń kégbe. Ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ìdáhùn; kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó sì dáhùn. Wọ́n sì jó yí pẹpẹ náà ká, èyí tí wọ́n tẹ́.
So they tooke the one bullocke, that was giuen them, and they prepared it, and called on the name of Baal, from morning to noone, saying, O Baal, heare vs: but there was no voyce, nor any to answere: and they leapt vpon the altar that was made.
27 Ní ọ̀sán gangan, Elijah bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ń fi wọ́n ṣe ẹlẹ́yà ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ kígbe lóhùn rara Ọlọ́run sá à ni òun! Bóyá ó ń ṣe àṣàrò, tàbí kò ráyè, tàbí ó re àjò. Bóyá ó sùn, ó yẹ kí a jí i.”
And at noone Eliiah mocked them, and said, Crye loude: for he is a god: either he talketh or pursueth his enemies, or is in his iourney, or it may be that he sleepeth, and must be awaked.
28 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì kígbe lóhùn rara, wọ́n sì fi ọ̀bẹ àti ọ̀kọ̀ ya ara wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìṣe wọn, títí tí ẹ̀jẹ̀ fi tú jáde ní ara wọn.
And they cryed loude, and cut them selues as their maner was, with kniues and launcers, till the blood gushed out vpon them.
29 Nígbà tí ọjọ́ yẹ àtàrí, wọ́n sì ń fi òmùgọ̀ sọtẹ́lẹ̀ títí di àkókò ìrúbọ àṣálẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ohùn, kò sì ṣí ìdáhùn, kò sì ṣí ẹni tí ó kà á sí.
And when midday was passed, and they had prophecied vntil the offring of the euening sacrifice, there was neither voyce, nor one to answere, nor any that regarded.
30 Nígbà náà ni Elijah wí fún gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà pé, “Ẹ súnmọ́ mi.” Wọ́n sì súnmọ́ ọn, ó sì tún pẹpẹ Olúwa tí ó ti wó lulẹ̀ ṣe.
And Eliiah said vnto all the people, Come to me. And all the people came to him. And he repayred the altar of the Lord that was broken downe.
31 Elijah sì mú òkúta méjìlá, ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan fún ẹ̀yà ọmọ Jakọbu kan, ẹni tí ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ wá wí pé, “Israẹli ni orúkọ rẹ̀ yóò máa jẹ́.”
And Eliiah tooke twelue stones, according to the nomber of the tribes of the sonnes of Iaakob, (vnto whome the worde of the Lord came, saying, Israel shalbe thy name)
32 Ó sì tẹ́ pẹpẹ pẹ̀lú àwọn òkúta wọ̀nyí ní orúkọ Olúwa, ó sì wa yàrá yí pẹpẹ náà ká, tí ó lè gba ìwọ̀n òsùwọ̀n irúgbìn méjì.
And with the stones he buylt an altar in the Name of the Lord: and he made a ditch round about the altar, as great as woulde conteine two measures of seede.
33 Ó sì to igi náà dáradára, ó sì ké ẹgbọrọ akọ màlúù náà wẹ́wẹ́, ó sì tò ó sórí igi. Nígbà náà ni ó sì wí fún wọn wí pé, “Ẹ fi omi kún ìkòkò mẹ́rin, kí ẹ sì tu sórí ẹbọ sísun àti sórí igi náà.”
And he put the wood in order, and hewed the bullocke in pieces, and layd him on the wood,
34 Ó sì wí pe, “Ẹ ṣe é ní ìgbà kejì.” Wọ́n sì ṣe é ní ìgbà kejì. Ó sì tún wí pé, “Ṣe é ní ìgbà kẹta.”
And said, Fill foure barrels with water, and powre it on the burnt offring and on the wood. Againe he said, Doe so againe. And they did so the second time. And he sayde, Doe it the third time. And they did it the third time.
35 Omi náà sì sàn yí pẹpẹ náà ká, ó sì fi omi kún yàrá náà pẹ̀lú.
And the water ran round about the altar: and he filled the ditch with water also.
36 Ó sì ṣe, ní ìrúbọ àṣálẹ́, wòlíì Elijah sì súnmọ́ tòsí, ó sì gbàdúrà wí pé, “Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Abrahamu, Isaaki àti Israẹli, jẹ́ kí ó di mí mọ̀ lónìí pé ìwọ ni Ọlọ́run ní Israẹli àti pé èmi ni ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, àti pé mo ṣe gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí nípa àṣẹ rẹ.
And when they should offer the euening sacrifice, Eliiah the Prophet came, and sayd, Lord God of Abraham, Izhak and of Israel, let it be knowen this day, that thou art the God of Israel, and that I am thy seruant, and that I haue done all these things at thy commandement.
37 Gbọ́ ti èmi, Olúwa, gbọ́ ti èmi, kí àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí lè mọ̀ pé ìwọ Olúwa ni Ọlọ́run àti pé ìwọ tún yí ọkàn wọn padà.”
Heare me, O Lord, heare me, and let this people know that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart againe at the last.
38 Nígbà náà ni iná Olúwa bọ́ sílẹ̀, ó sì sun ẹbọ sísun náà àti igi, àti àwọn òkúta, àti erùpẹ̀, ó sì tún lá omi tí ń bẹ nínú yàrá náà.
Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt offring, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked vp the water that was in the ditche.
39 Nígbà tí gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn sì rí èyí, wọ́n da ojú wọn bolẹ̀, wọ́n sì kígbe pé, “Olúwa, òun ni Ọlọ́run! Olúwa, òun ni Ọlọ́run!”
And when all the people sawe it, they fell on their faces, and saide, The Lord is God, the Lord is God.
40 Nígbà náà ni Elijah sì pàṣẹ fún wọn pé, “Ẹ mú àwọn wòlíì Baali. Ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí ọ̀kan nínú wọn kí ó sálọ!” Wọ́n sì mú wọn, Elijah sì mú wọn sọ̀kalẹ̀ sí àfonífojì Kiṣoni, ó sì pa wọ́n níbẹ̀.
And Elijah said vnto them, Take the prophets of Baal, let not a man of them escape. and they tooke them, and Eliiah brought them to the brooke Kishon, and slewe them there.
41 Elijah sì wí fún Ahabu pé, “Lọ, jẹ, kí o sì mu, nítorí ìró ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ òjò ń bọ̀.”
And Eliiah sayde vnto Ahab, Get thee vp, eate and drinke, for there is a sound of much rayne.
42 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Ahabu gòkè lọ láti jẹ àti láti mu. Ṣùgbọ́n Elijah gun orí òkè Karmeli lọ ó sì tẹríba, ó sì fi ojú rẹ̀ sí agbede-méjì eékún rẹ̀.
So Ahab went vp to eate and to drinke, and Eliiah went vp to the top of Carmel: and he crouched vnto the earth, and put his face betweene his knees,
43 Ó sì wí fún ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ pé, “Lọ, kí o sì wo ìhà Òkun, òun sì gòkè lọ, ó sì wò.” Ó sì wí pé, “Kò sí nǹkan níbẹ̀.” Ó sì wí pé, “Tún lọ nígbà méje.”
And sayde to his seruant, Goe vp now and looke towarde the way of the Sea. And he went vp, and looked, and sayde, There is nothing. Againe he sayd, Goe againe seuen times.
44 Nígbà keje, ìránṣẹ́ náà sì wí pé, “Àwọsánmọ̀ kékeré kan dìde láti inú Òkun, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọwọ́ ènìyàn.” Elijah sì wí pé, “Lọ, kí o sọ fún Ahabu pé, ‘Di kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ rẹ, kí o sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ, kí òjò ó má ba à dá ọ dúró.’”
And at the seuenth time he sayd, Behold, there ariseth a litle cloude out of the sea like a mans hand. Then he sayd, Vp, and say vnto Ahab, Make readie thy charet, and get thee downe, that the raine stay thee not.
45 Ó sì ṣe, nígbà díẹ̀ sí i, ọ̀run sì ṣú fún àwọsánmọ̀, ìjì sì dìde, òjò púpọ̀ sì rọ̀, Ahabu sì gun kẹ̀kẹ́ lọ sí Jesreeli.
And in the meane while the heauen was blacke with cloudes and winde, and there was a great rayne. Then Ahab went vp and came to Izreel.
46 Agbára Olúwa sì ń bẹ lára Elijah; ó sì di àmùrè ẹ̀gbẹ́ rẹ, ó sì sáré níwájú Ahabu títí dé Jesreeli.
And the hand of the Lord was on Eliiah, and he girded vp his Ioynes, and ran before Ahab till he came to Izreel.
