1 Kings 19
1 Ahabu sì sọ gbogbo ohun tí Elijah ti ṣe fún Jesebeli àti bí ó ti fi idà pa gbogbo àwọn wòlíì.
Now Ahab told Jezebel everything that Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
2 Nítorí náà Jesebeli rán oníṣẹ́ kan sí Elijah wí pé, “Kí àwọn òrìṣà kí ó ṣe sí mi àti jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ pẹ̀lú, bí èmi kò bá ṣe ẹ̀mí rẹ bí ọ̀kan nínú wọn ní ìwòyí ọ̀la.”
So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “May the gods deal with me, and ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like the lives of those you killed!”
3 Elijah sì bẹ̀rù, ó sá fún ẹ̀mí rẹ̀. Nígbà tí ó sì dé Beerṣeba ti Juda, ó sì fi ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ níbẹ̀,
And Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there,
4 nígbà tí òun tìkára rẹ̀ sì lọ ní ìrìn ọjọ́ kan sí aginjù, ó sì wá sí ibi igi ọwọ̀ kan, ó sì jókòó lábẹ́ rẹ̀, ó sì gbàdúrà kí òun bá le kú, wí pé, “Mo ti ní tó, Olúwa, gba ẹ̀mí mi kúrò; nítorí èmi kò sàn ju àwọn baba mi lọ.”
while he himself traveled on a day’s journey into the wilderness. He sat down under a broom tree and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, LORD,” he said. “Take my life, for I am no better than my fathers.”
5 Nígbà náà ni ó dùbúlẹ̀ lábẹ́ igi, ó sì sùn lọ. Sì wò ó, angẹli fi ọwọ́ tọ́ ọ, ó sì wí pé, “Dìde, kí o jẹun.”
Then he lay down under the broom tree and fell asleep. Suddenly an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.”
6 Ó sì wò ó yíká, àkàrà tí a dín lórí ẹ̀yín iná, àti orù-omi wà lẹ́bàá orí rẹ̀. Ó sì jẹ, ó sì mu, ó sì tún dùbúlẹ̀.
And he looked around, and there by his head was a cake of bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank and lay down again.
7 Angẹli Olúwa sì tún padà wá lẹ́ẹ̀kejì, ó sì tún fi ọwọ́ tọ́ ọ, ó sì wí pé, “Dìde, kí ó jẹun, nítorí ìrìnàjò náà jì fún ọ.”
A second time the angel of the LORD returned and touched him, saying, “Get up and eat, or the journey will be too much for you.”
8 Ó si dìde, ó sì jẹ, ó mu, o sì fi agbára oúnjẹ yìí lọ ní ogójì ọ̀sán àti ogójì òru sí Horebu, òkè Ọlọ́run.
So he got up and ate and drank. And strengthened by that food, he walked forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God.
9 Níbẹ̀, ó lọ sí ibi ihò òkúta, ó sì wọ̀ níbẹ̀. Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ Elijah wá wí pé, “Kí ni ìwọ ń ṣe níhìn-ín yìí, Elijah?”
There Elijah entered a cave and spent the night. And the word of the LORD came to him, saying, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
10 Ó sì dáhùn wí pé, “Èmi ti ń jowú fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn ọmọ-ogun. Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ti kọ májẹ̀mú rẹ sílẹ̀, wọ́n sì ti wó àwọn pẹpẹ rẹ lulẹ̀, wọ́n sì ti fi idà pa àwọn wòlíì rẹ. Èmi nìkan ṣoṣo ni ó kù, wọ́n sì ń wá ẹ̀mí mi láti gbà á kúrò báyìí.”
“I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of Hosts,” he replied, “but the Israelites have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I am the only one left, and they are seeking my life as well.”
11 Olúwa sì wí pé, “Jáde lọ, kí o sì dúró lórí òkè níwájú Olúwa, nítorí Olúwa fẹ́ rékọjá.” Nígbà náà ni ìjì ńlá àti líle sì fa àwọn òkè ńlá ya, ó sì fọ́ àwọn àpáta túútúú níwájú Olúwa; ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa kò sí nínú ìjì náà. Lẹ́yìn ìjì náà ni ìṣẹ̀lẹ̀-ìrilẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa kò sí nínú ìṣẹ̀lẹ̀-ìrilẹ̀ náà.
Then the LORD said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before the LORD. Behold, the LORD is about to pass by.” And a great and mighty wind tore into the mountains and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake.
12 Lẹ́yìn ìṣẹ̀lẹ̀-ìrilẹ̀ náà ni iná wá, ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa kò sí nínú iná náà. Àti lẹ́yìn iná náà ni ohùn kẹ́lẹ́ kékeré wá.
After the earthquake there was a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a still, small voice.
13 Nígbà tí Elijah sì gbọ́ ọ, ó sì fi agbádá rẹ̀ bo ojú rẹ̀, ó sì jáde lọ, ó dúró ní ẹnu ihò òkúta náà. Nígbà náà ni ohùn kan tọ̀ ọ́ wá wí pé, “Kí ni ìwọ ń ṣe níhìn-ín, Elijah?”
When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
14 Ó sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi ti ń jowú fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn ọmọ-ogun. Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ti kọ májẹ̀mú rẹ sílẹ̀, wọ́n sì ti wó pẹpẹ rẹ lulẹ̀, wọ́n sì ti fi idà pa àwọn wòlíì rẹ. Èmi nìkan ṣoṣo ni ó kù, wọ́n sì ń gbìyànjú láti pa èmi náà báyìí.”
“I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of Hosts,” he replied, “but the Israelites have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I am the only one left, and they are seeking my life as well.”
15 Olúwa sì wí fún un pé, “Padà lọ sí ọ̀nà tí ìwọ ti wá, kí o sì lọ sí aginjù Damasku. Nígbà tí ìwọ bá dé ibẹ̀, fi òróró yan Hasaeli ní ọba lórí Aramu.
Then the LORD said to him, “Go back by the way you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you arrive, you are to anoint Hazael as king over Aram.
16 Tún fi òróró yan Jehu ọmọ Nimṣi ní ọba lórí Israẹli, àti kí o fi òróró yan Eliṣa ọmọ Ṣafati, ará Abeli-Mehola ní wòlíì ní ipò rẹ.
You are also to anoint Jehu son of Nimshi as king over Israel and Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel-meholah to succeed you as prophet.
17 Jehu yóò pa ẹni tí ó bá sálà kúrò lọ́wọ́ idà Hasaeli, Eliṣa yóò sì pa ẹni tí ó bá sálà kúrò lọ́wọ́ idà Jehu.
Then Jehu will put to death whoever escapes the sword of Hazael, and Elisha will put to death whoever escapes the sword of Jehu.
18 Síbẹ̀, èmi ti pa ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbàárin ènìyàn mọ́ fún ara mi ní Israẹli, àní gbogbo eékún tí kò ì tí ì kúnlẹ̀ fún òrìṣà Baali, àti gbogbo ẹnu tí kò ì tí ì fi ẹnu kò ó ní ẹnu.”
Nevertheless, I have reserved seven thousand in Israel—all whose knees have not bowed to Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him.”
19 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Elijah lọ kúrò níbẹ̀, ó sì rí Eliṣa ọmọ Ṣafati. Ó ń fi àjàgà màlúù méjìlá tulẹ̀ níwájú rẹ̀, àti òun náà níwájú èkejìlá. Elijah sì tọ̀ ọ́ lọ, ó sì da agbádá rẹ̀ bò ó.
So Elijah departed and found Elisha son of Shaphat. He was plowing with twelve teams of oxen, and he was with the twelfth team. Elijah passed by him and threw his cloak around him.
20 Nígbà náà ni Eliṣa sì fi àwọn màlúù sílẹ̀, ó sì sáré tọ Elijah lẹ́yìn. Ó wí pé, “Èmi bẹ̀ ọ́, jẹ́ kí èmi lọ fi ẹnu ko baba àti ìyá mi ní ẹnu. Nígbà náà ni èmi yóò tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn.” Elijah sì dáhùn wí pé, “Padà sẹ́yìn, kí ni mo fi ṣe ọ́?”
So Elisha left the oxen, ran after Elijah, and said, “Please let me kiss my father and mother goodbye, and then I will follow you.” “Go on back,” Elijah replied, “for what have I done to you?”
21 Eliṣa sì fi í sílẹ̀, ó padà sẹ́yìn. Ó sì mú àjàgà màlúù rẹ, ó sì pa wọ́n. Ó sì fi ohun èlò àwọn màlúù náà bọ́ ẹran wọn, ó sì fi fún àwọn ènìyàn, wọ́n sì jẹ. Nígbà náà ni ó sì dìde láti tọ Elijah lẹ́yìn, ó sì ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún un.
So Elisha turned back from him, took his pair of oxen, and slaughtered them. With the oxen’s equipment, he cooked the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out to follow and serve Elijah.
