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.
Ahab gave Jezebel news of all Elijah had done, and how he had put all the prophets to death 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.”
Then Jezebel sent a servant to Elijah, saying, May the gods' punishment be on me if I do not make your life like the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.
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 he got up, fearing for his life, and went in flight, and came to Beer-sheba in Judah, parting there from his servant;
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 went a day's journey into the waste land, and took a seat under a broom-plant, desiring for himself only death; for he said, It is enough: now, O Lord, take away 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.”
And stretching himself on the earth, he went to sleep under the broom-plant; but an angel, touching him, said to him, Get up and have some food.
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 looking up, he saw by his head a cake cooked on the stones and a bottle of water. So he took food and drink and went to sleep 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.”
And the angel of the Lord came again a second time, and touching him said, Get up and have some food, or the journey will be overmuch for your strength.
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 took food and drink, and in the strength of that food he went on for forty days and nights, to 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?”
And there he went into a hole in the rock for the night; then 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.”
And he said, I have been burning for the honour of the Lord, the God of armies; for the children of Israel have not kept your agreement; they have made destruction of your altars, and have put your prophets to death with the sword: till I, even I, am the only one living; and now they are attempting to take away my life.
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 he said, Go out and take your place on the mountain before the Lord. Then the Lord went by, and mountains were parted by the force of a great wind, and rocks were broken before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind there was an earth-shock, but the Lord was not in the earth-shock.
12 Lẹ́yìn ìṣẹ̀lẹ̀-ìrilẹ̀ náà ni iná wá, ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa kò sí nínú iná náà. Àti lẹ́yìn iná náà ni ohùn kẹ́lẹ́ kékeré wá.
And after the earth-shock a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire, the sound of a soft breath.
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?”
And Elijah, hearing it, went out, covering his face with his robe, and took his place in the opening of the hole. And there a voice came to him saying, 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.”
And he said, I have been burning for the honour of the Lord, the God of armies; for the children of Israel have not kept your agreement; they have had your altars broken down, and have put your prophets to death with the sword: till I, even I, am the only one living; and now they are attempting to take away my life.
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.
And the Lord said to him, Go back on your way through the waste land to Damascus; and when you come there, put the holy oil on Hazael to make him 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.
And on Jehu, son of Nimshi, making him king over Israel; and on Elisha, the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah, to be prophet in your place.
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.
And it will come about that the man who gets away safe from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will put to death; and whoever gets away safe from the sword of Jehu, Elisha will put to death.
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.”
But I will keep safe seven thousand in Israel, all those whose knees have not been bent to Baal, and whose mouths have given him no kisses.
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 he went away from there and came across Elisha, the son of Shaphat, ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen, he himself walking with the twelfth; and Elijah went up to him and put his robe on 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?”
And letting the oxen be where they were, he came running after Elijah, and said, Only let me give a kiss to my father and mother, and then I will come after you. But he said to him, Go back again; 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.
And he went back, and took the oxen and put them to death, and cooking their flesh with the yokes of the oxen, he gave the people a feast. Then he got up and went after Elijah and became his servant.
