< 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.
And Achab told Izebel all that Elijah had done, and withal that he had slain 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.”
Then sent Izebel a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So may the gods do to me, and may they thus continue, if about this time tomorrow I do not render thy life as the life of any one of them.
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 when he saw this, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba', which belongeth to Judah, and he left his young man 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.”
But he himself went forward into the wilderness a day's journey, and he came and sat down under a certain broom-bush: and he requested for himself to die; and he said, It is enough, now, O Lord, take away my soul; for I am not 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 he laid himself down and slept under a certain broom-bush, and, behold then, an angel was touching him, and said unto him, Arise, 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 about, and, behold, there was at his head a cake baked on coals, and a cruise of water; and he ate and drank, and laid himself 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.”
And the angel of the Lord came again, the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise, eat; because the journey is yet far for thee.
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.
And he arose, and ate and drank; and he went on the strength of that eating forty days and forty nights unto the mount of God, Horeb.
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 he came there unto a cave, and remained there over night: and, behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and said unto him, What dost thou 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 very zealous for the Lord, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thy altars have they thrown down, and thy prophets have they slain with the sword: and I am left by myself alone, and they have sought my life, to take it away.
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.
And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord: and, behold, the Lord passed by, and a wind, great and strong, rending the mountains, and breaking in pieces the rocks [went] before the Lord; but not in the wind was the Lord: and after the wind was an earthquake: but not in the earthquake was the Lord;
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 earthquake was a fire; but not in the fire was the Lord; and after the fire was the sound of a soft whisper.
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 it came to pass, when Elijah heard it, that he concealed his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave: and, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What dost thou 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 very zealous for the Lord, the God of hosts; because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thy altars have they thrown down, and thy prophets have they slain with the sword: and I am left by myself alone, and they have sought my life, to take it away.
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 unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus; and go, anoint Chazael to be king over Syria;
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 Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel; and Elisha' the son of Shaphat of Abel-mecholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy stead.
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 shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Chazael shall Jehu slay; and him that escapeth the sword of Jehu shall Elisha' slay.
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.”
And I will leave in Israel seven thousand, all the knees which have not been bent unto Ba'al, and every mouth which hath 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.
And he departed thence, and found Elisha' the son of Shaphat, who was ploughing; twelve yoke of oxen were before him, and he was with the twelfth: and Elijah passed up to him, and cast his mantle toward 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 he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss but my father and my mother, and I will [then] follow thee: and he said unto him, Go, return; for what have I done to thee?
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 returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and with the instruments of the oxen he boiled the flesh for them, and he gave it unto the people, and they did eat; and then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.
