1 Kings 21
1 Ó sì ṣe lẹ́yìn nǹkan wọ̀nyí Naboti ará Jesreeli sì ní ọgbà àjàrà kan ní Jesreeli, ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ ààfin Ahabu ọba Samaria.
After these things, Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel, next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
2 Ahabu sì wí fún Naboti pé, “Fún mi ní ọgbà àjàrà rẹ, kí èmi kí ó fi ṣe ọgbà-ewébẹ̀, nítorí tí ó súnmọ́ tòsí ilé mi, èmi yóò sì fún ọ ní ọgbà àjàrà tí ó sàn jù ú lọ dípò rẹ̀; tàbí bí ó bá sì dára ní ojú rẹ, èmi yóò fi iye owó rẹ̀ fún ọ.”
Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money.”
3 Ṣùgbọ́n Naboti wí fún Ahabu pé, “Olúwa má jẹ́ kí èmi fi ogún àwọn baba mi fún ọ.”
Naboth said to Ahab, “May Yahweh forbid me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you!”
4 Ahabu sì wá sí ilé rẹ̀, ó wugbọ́, inú rẹ̀ sì bàjẹ́ nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ tí Naboti ará Jesreeli sọ fún un; nítorí tí ó wí pé, “Èmi kì yóò fún ọ ní ogún àwọn baba mi.” Ó sì dùbúlẹ̀ lórí ibùsùn rẹ̀, ó sì yí ojú rẹ̀ padà, kò sì fẹ́ jẹun.
Ahab came into his house sullen and angry because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him, for he had said, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He laid himself down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
5 Jesebeli aya rẹ̀ sì tọ̀ ọ́ wá, ó sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Èéṣe tí inú rẹ fi bàjẹ́, èéṣe tí ìwọ kò sì jẹun?”
But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, “Why is your spirit so sad that you eat no bread?”
6 Ó sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Nítorí tí mo wí fún Naboti ará Jesreeli pé, ‘Ta ọgbà àjàrà rẹ fún mi, tàbí bí ó bá wù ọ́, èmi yóò fún ọ ní ọgbà àjàrà mìíràn ní ipò rẹ̀.’ Ṣùgbọ́n ó wí pé, ‘Èmi kì yóò fún ọ ní ọgbà àjàrà mi.’”
He said to her, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, ‘Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.’ He answered, ‘I will not give you my vineyard.’”
7 Jesebeli aya rẹ̀ sì wí pé, “Ṣé báyìí ni ìwọ yóò ṣe ṣe bí ọba lórí Israẹli? Dìde, jẹun! Kí o sì jẹ́ kí inú rẹ̀ dùn. Èmi yóò sì fún ọ ní ọgbà àjàrà Naboti ará Jesreeli.”
Jezebel his wife said to him, “Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”
8 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó kọ̀wé ní orúkọ Ahabu, ó sì fi èdìdì rẹ̀ dì í, ó sì fi ìwé náà ránṣẹ́ sí àwọn àgbàgbà àti àwọn ọlọ́lá tí ó ń gbé ní ìlú Naboti pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles who were in his city, who lived with Naboth.
9 Nínú àwọn ìwé náà, ó kọ pé, “Ẹ kéde àwẹ̀, kí ẹ sì fi Naboti sí ipò ọlá láàrín àwọn ènìyàn.
She wrote in the letters, saying, “Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
10 Ṣùgbọ́n kí ẹ fi ènìyàn méjì, ẹni búburú síwájú rẹ̀ láti jẹ́rìí sí i wí pé, ó bú Ọlọ́run àti ọba. Nígbà náà ni kí ẹ mú u jáde, kí ẹ sì sọ ọ́ ní òkúta pa.”
Set two men, wicked fellows, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, ‘You cursed God and the king!’ Then carry him out, and stone him to death.”
11 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn àgbàgbà àti àwọn ọlọ́lá tí wọ́n ń ṣe ará ìlú Naboti sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwé tí Jesebeli kọ ránṣẹ́ sí wọn.
The men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had instructed them in the letters which she had written and sent to them.
12 Wọ́n sì kéde àwẹ̀, wọ́n sì fi Naboti sí ipò ọlá láàrín àwọn ènìyàn.
They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
13 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ọkùnrin méjì sì dé, àwọn ẹni búburú, wọ́n sì jókòó síwájú rẹ̀, wọ́n sì jẹ́rìí lòdì sí Naboti níwájú àwọn ènìyàn wí pé, “Naboti ti bú Ọlọ́run àti ọba.” Nígbà náà ni wọ́n mú jáde kúrò ní ìlú, wọ́n sì sọ ọ́ ní òkúta pa.
The two men, the wicked fellows, came in and sat before him. The wicked fellows testified against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth cursed God and the king!” Then they carried him out of the city and stoned him to death with stones.
14 Nígbà náà ni wọ́n ránṣẹ́ sí Jesebeli wí pé, “A ti sọ Naboti ní òkúta, ó sì kú.”
Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned and is dead.”
15 Bí Jesebeli sì ti gbọ́ pé, a ti sọ Naboti ní Òkúta pa, ó sì wí fún Ahabu pé, “Dìde! Kí o sì jogún ọgbà àjàrà Naboti, ará Jesreeli, tí ó kọ̀ láti tà fún ọ kò sí láààyè mọ́, ó ti kú.”
When Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, Jezebel said to Ahab, “Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.”
16 Nígbà tí Ahabu sì gbọ́ pé Naboti ti kú, ó sì dìde, ó sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ láti jogún ọgbà àjàrà Naboti.
When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
17 Nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ Elijah ará Tiṣibi wá wí pé,
Yahweh’s word came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
18 “Sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ láti lọ pàdé Ahabu ọba Israẹli, tí ó wà ní Samaria. Ó wà ní ọgbà àjàrà Naboti báyìí, níbi tí ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ láti jogún rẹ̀.
“Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwells in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it.
19 Sọ fún un pé, ‘Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ kò ti pa ènìyàn, o sì ti fi agbára gba ogún rẹ̀?’ Nígbà náà ni kí o wí fún un pé, ‘Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: Níbi tí ajá gbé lá ẹ̀jẹ̀ Naboti, ni àwọn ajá yóò lá ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ, àní tìrẹ!’”
You shall speak to him, saying, ‘Yahweh says, “Have you killed and also taken possession?”’ You shall speak to him, saying, ‘Yahweh says, “In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs will lick your blood, even yours.”’”
20 Ahabu sì wí fún Elijah pé, “Ìwọ ti rí mi, ìwọ ọ̀tá mi!” Ó sì dáhùn wí pé, “Èmi ti rí ọ, nítorí tí ìwọ ti tan ara rẹ láti ṣe búburú níwájú Olúwa.
Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?” He answered, “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in Yahweh’s sight.
21 ‘Èmi yóò mú ibi wá sórí rẹ. Èmi yóò sì mú ìran rẹ kúrò, èmi yóò sì ké kúrò lọ́dọ̀ Ahabu gbogbo ọmọdé ọkùnrin, àti ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀, àti òmìnira ní Israẹli.
Behold, I will bring evil on you, and will utterly sweep you away and will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, and him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel.
22 Èmi yóò ṣe ilé rẹ bí ilé Jeroboamu, ọmọ Nebati, àti bí ilé Baaṣa, ọmọ Ahijah, nítorí ìwọ ti mú mi bínú, ìwọ sì ti mú Israẹli ṣẹ̀.’
I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation with which you have provoked me to anger, and have made Israel to sin.”
23 “Àti ní ti Jesebeli pẹ̀lú Olúwa wí pé, ‘Àwọn ajá yóò jẹ Jesebeli nínú yàrá Jesreeli.’
Yahweh also spoke of Jezebel, saying, “The dogs will eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel.
24 “Àwọn ajá yóò jẹ ẹni Ahabu tí ó kú ní ìlú, àwọn ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run yóò jẹ àwọn ẹni tí ó kú ní igbó.”
The dogs will eat he who dies of Ahab in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat he who dies in the field.”
25 (Kò sí ẹnìkan bí Ahabu tí ó ta ara rẹ̀ láti ṣe búburú níwájú Olúwa, ẹni tí Jesebeli aya rẹ̀ ń tì.
But there was no one like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
26 Ó sì ṣe ohun ìríra gidigidi ní tí tọ òrìṣà lẹ́yìn, gẹ́gẹ́ bí gbogbo ohun tí àwọn ará Amori ti ṣe, tí Olúwa lé jáde níwájú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.)
He did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel.
27 Nígbà tí Ahabu sì gbọ́ àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí, ó sì fa aṣọ rẹ̀ ya, ó sì fi aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ sí ara rẹ̀, ó sì gbààwẹ̀. Ó sì dùbúlẹ̀ nínú aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀, ó sì ń lọ jẹ́ẹ́.
When Ahab heard those words, he tore his clothes, put sackcloth on his body, fasted, lay in sackcloth, and went about despondently.
28 Nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ Elijah ará Tiṣibi wá wí pé,
Yahweh’s word came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
29 “Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ ti rí bí Ahabu ti rẹ̀ ara rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ níwájú mi? Nítorí tí ó ti rẹ̀ ara rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, èmi kì yóò mú ibi náà wá ní ọjọ́ rẹ, ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò mú u wá sí ilé rẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ ọmọ rẹ̀.”
“See how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but I will bring the evil on his house in his son’s day.”
