< 1 Kings 18 >

1 And it came to pass after many days, that the word of Jehovah came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself to Ahab; and I will send rain upon the face of the earth.
Isu a kalpasan ti adu nga aldaw, immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Elias, iti maikatlo a tawen ti tikag a kunana, “Mapanka dumatag kenni Ahab ket iyegkonto iti tudo iti daga.”
2 And Elijah went to shew himself to Ahab. And the famine was severe in Samaria.
Napan dimmatag ni Elias kenni Ahab; ita, nakaro unay ti panagbisin idiay Samaria.
3 And Ahab called Obadiah, who was the steward of his house (now Obadiah feared Jehovah greatly;
Inayaban ni Ahab ni Abdias a mayordomo ti palasio. Ita, raraemen unay ni Abdias ni Yahweh,
4 and it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of Jehovah, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and maintained them with bread and water);
ta idi patpatayn ni Jezebel dagiti profeta ni Yahweh, inkuyog ni Abdias ti sangagasut a profeta ket inlemmengna ida iti dua a kueba, limapulo a profeta ti inlemmengna iti tunggal kueba ket pinakanna ida iti tinapay ken danum.
5 and Ahab said to Obadiah, Go through the land, to all the fountains of water and to all the torrents, perhaps we may find grass to save the horses and the mules alive, so that we may not have to destroy some of [our] beasts.
Kinuna ni Ahab kenni Abdias, “Sursorenta ti daga, iti amin nga ubbog ken waig. Bareng makasarakta kadagiti ruot ken maispalta dagiti kabalio ken mulo, tapno saan a matay amin dagiti ayup.”
6 And they divided the land between them to pass through it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
Nagnumoanda ngarud no ania a daga ti sursuren ti tunggal maysa kadakuada tapno agbirok iti danum ket nagsinada iti turongen.
7 And as Obadiah was on the way, behold, Elijah met him; and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Is it indeed thou, my lord Elijah?
Bayat nga adda ni Abdias iti dalan, nairana a nasabat isuna ni Elias. Nabigbig ni Abdias isuna ket nagrukob iti daga. Kinunana, “Sika kadi dayta, apok nga Elias?”
8 And he said to him, I [am he]: go, say to thy lord, Behold Elijah!
Simmungbat ni Elias kenkuana, “Siak. Mapanmo ibaga iti apom, 'Kitaem, adda ditoy ni Elias.'”
9 And he said, What have I sinned, that thou givest thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to put me to death?
Simmungbat ni Abdias, “Ania ti nagbasolak ta iyawatmo ti adipenmo iti ima ni Ahab, tapno patayennak?
10 As Jehovah thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom whither my lord has not sent to seek thee; and when they said, He is not [here], he took an oath of the kingdom or nation that they found thee not.
Iti nagan ni Yahweh a Diosmo nga adda iti agnanayon, awan ti nasion wenno pagarian a saan a nangibaonan ti apok kadagiti tattaona tapno birukendaka. Tunggal ibaga ti nasion wenno pagarian, ‘Awan ditoy ni Elias,' pagsapataen ida ni Ahab nga ikarida a saandaka a mabirukan.
11 And now thou sayest, Go, say to thy lord, Behold Elijah!
Ngem ita ibagam a, “Mapanka ket ibagam iti apom nga adda ditoy ni Elias.'
12 And it shall come to pass when I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of Jehovah shall carry thee whither I know not; and when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he will kill me; and I thy servant fear Jehovah from my youth.
Apaman a makaadayoak kenka, ipannaka ti Espiritu ni Yahweh iti lugar a saanko nga ammo. Ket inton mapanko ibaga kenni Ahab, ket saannaka a mabirukan, patayennakto. Ngem siak nga adipenmo, dinaydayawko ni Yahweh manipud iti kinaagtutubok.
13 Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid a hundred men of Jehovah's prophets by fifty in a cave, and maintained them with bread and water?
Saan kadi a naibaga kenka apok, ti inaramidko idi pinatay ni Jezebel dagiti profeta ni Yahweh, no kasano nga inlemmengko ti sangagasut a profeta ni Yahweh babaen iti panangbingayko kadakuada iti saglilimapulo iti tunggal kueba ken pinakanko ida iti tinapay ken danum?
14 And now thou sayest, Go, say to thy lord, Behold Elijah! and he will kill me.
Ket ita ibagam, ‘Mapanka ket ibagam iti apom nga adda ditoy ni Elias,' tapno patayennak ni Ahab.”
15 And Elijah said, As Jehovah of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will certainly shew myself to him to-day.
Ket simmungbat ni Elias, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, a pagserserbiak, awan duadua a dumatagak kenni Ahab ita nga aldaw.”
16 Then Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him. And Ahab went to meet Elijah.
Isu a napan ni Abdias tapno sarakenna ni Ahab; imbagana kenni Ahab ti imbilin ni Elias kenkuana ket napan ni Ahab tapno sabatenna ni Elias.
17 And it came to pass when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, Is it thou, the troubler of Israel?
Idi nakita ni Ahab ni Elias, kinunana kenkuana, “Sika kadi dayta, sika a mangrirriribuk iti Israel?”
18 And he said, I have not troubled Israel, but thou and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of Jehovah, and thou hast followed the Baals.
Simmungbat ni Elias, “Saanko a riniribuk ti Israel, ngem sika ken ti pamilia ti amam ti mangrirriribuk babaen iti panangtallikudyo kadagiti bilin ni Yahweh ken babaen iti panangsurotyo kadagiti Baal a didiosen.
19 And now send, gather to me all Israel to mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the Asherah four hundred, who eat at Jezebel's table.
Ita ngarud, mangibaonka iti mapan mangibaga ket ummungem ti entero nga Israel idiay Bantay Carmel iti sangoanak agraman dagiti uppat a gasut ket limapulo a profeta ni Baal ken ti uppat a gasut a profeta ni Asera a ti pangpangananda ket iti lamisaan ni Jezebel.”
20 So Ahab sent to all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.
Isu a pinaayaban amin ni Ahab dagiti tattao iti Israel ket inummongda dagiti profeta idiay Bantay Carmel.
21 Then Elijah drew near to all the people, and said, How long do ye halt between two opinions? if Jehovah be God, follow him; and if Baal, follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
Immasideg ni Elias kadagiti amin a tattao ket kinunana, “Kasano pay kabayag ti panagduaduayo? No ni Yahweh ti Dios, surotenyo isuna. Ngem no ni Baal ti Dios, surotenyo ngarud isuna.” Ngem saan a simmungbat kenkuana dagiti tattao.
22 And Elijah said to the people, I, only I, remain a prophet of Jehovah; and Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
Ket kinuna ni Elias kadagiti tattao, “Siak, siak laengen ti nabati a profeta ni Yahweh, ngem dagiti profeta ni Baal ket uppat a gasut ket lima pulo a tattao.
23 Let them therefore give us two bullocks: and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and put it on the wood, and put no fire; and I will sacrifice the other bullock, and put it on the wood, and put no fire.
Ipaayandakami ngarud iti dua a baka. Bay-anyo a mangpilida iti maysa a baka a para kadakuada ket partienda daytoy sada iparabaw kadagiti kayo, ngem saanda a pasgedan daytoy. Kalpasanna, partiek ti sabali pay a baka ket iparabawko iti kayo, ket saanko a pasgedan daytoy.
24 And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of Jehovah; and the god that answers by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, The word is good.
Kalpasanna, umawagkayo iti nagan ti diosyo, ket umawagakto met iti nagan ni Yahweh, ket ti Dios a sumungbat babaen iti apuy, isuna ti Dios.” Isu a simmungbat amin dagiti tattao ket kinunada, “Nasayaat daytoy.”
25 And Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, Choose one bullock for yourselves, and sacrifice it first; for ye are the many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire.
Kinuna ngarud ni Elias kadagiti profeta ni Baal, “Mangpilikayo iti maysa a baka ket umunakayo a mangisagana iti daytoy, ta adukayo a tattao. Kalpasanna, umawagkayo iti nagan ti diosyo, ngem saanyo a pasgedan ti nakaiparabawan dagiti karne ti baka.”
26 And they took the bullock which had been given them, and sacrificed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, O Baal, answer us! But there was no voice, and none answered. And they leaped about the altar that had been made.
Innalada ti baka a naited kadakuada ket pinartida, ket immawagda iti nagan ni Baal manipud iti bigat agingga iti tengnga ti aldaw a kunkunada, “Baal, denggendakami.” Ngem awan ti timek, wenno siasinoman a simmungbat. Nagsalsalada iti aglawlaw ti altar nga inaramidda.
27 And it came to pass at noon that Elijah mocked them and said, Cry aloud; for he is a god; for he is meditating, or gone aside, or he is on a journey; perhaps he sleeps, and will awake.
Idi katengngaan ti aldaw, rinabak ida ni Elias ket kinunana, “Pigsaanyo ti umasug! Maysa isuna a dios! Nalabit nga agpanpanunot isuna, wenno agpabpabang-ar, wenno agdaldaliasat, wenno nalabit a matmaturog isuna a nasken a riingen.”
28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with swords and spears, till the blood gushed out upon them.
Isu nga impigpigsada ti panagasugda ket sinugsugatda dagiti bagbagida a kas iti kadawyan nga ar-aramidenda babaen kadagiti kampilan ken gayang agingga a nagayus dagiti darada kadagiti bagbagida.
29 And it came to pass when midday was past, that they prophesied until the [time] of the offering up of the oblation; but there was neither voice, nor any that answered, nor any attention.
Limmabas ti katengngaan ti aldaw, ket umas-asugda latta agingga iti tiempo ti panagidaton iti pangrabii a daton, ngem awan ti timek wenno siasinoman a simmungbat; awan ti siasinoman a nangipangag kadagiti panagas-asugda.
30 Then Elijah said to all the people, Draw near to me. And all the people drew near to him. And he repaired the altar of Jehovah which was broken down.
Ket kinuna ni Elias kadagiti amin a tattao, “Umasidegkayo kaniak,” ket immasideg kenkuana dagiti tattao. Ket tinarimaanna ti narba nga altar ni Yahweh.
31 And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of Jehovah came saying, Israel shall be thy name;
Nangala ni Elias iti sangapulo ket dua a bato, ibagbagi ti tunggal bato dagiti sangapulo ket dua a tribu dagiti annak ni Jacob—ni Jacob ti immayan ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana, “Ti naganmonto ket Israel.”
32 and with the stones he built an altar in the name of Jehovah, and made a trench round about the altar, of the capacity of two measures of seed;
Babaen kadagiti batbato, nangaramid isuna iti altar iti nagan ni Yahweh, ket nangkali isuna iti kanal iti lawlaw ti altar a makalaon iti sangapulo ket lima a litro ti bukbukel.
33 and he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it on the wood. And he said, Fill four pitchers with water, and pour it on the burnt-offering, and on the wood.
Ket inkabilna dagiti kayo a pagsungrod ken pinartina ti baka, ket imparabawna dagiti karne ti baka kadagiti kayo. Ket kinunana, “Punnoenyo dagiti uppat a karamba iti danum ket ibukbokyo iti mapuoran a daton ken iti kayo.”
34 And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.
Ket kinunana, “Piduaenyo,” ket piniduada. Ket kinunana, “Maminsan pay,” ket inaramidda ti imbilinna nga aramidenda.
35 And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.
Nagayus ti danum iti likmut ti altar ket napno ti kanal.
36 And it came to pass at [the time of] the offering up of the oblation, that Elijah the prophet drew near, and said, Jehovah, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things by thy word.
Idi dumteng ti oras a panagidaton iti pangrabii a daton, immasideg ni Elias ket kinunana, “O Yahweh a Dios ni Abraham, ni Isaac, ken Israel, ipakaammom ita nga aldaw a sika ti Dios iti Israel, ken siak ti adipenmo, ken inaramidko amin dagitoy a banbanag nga imbilinmo.
37 Answer me, Jehovah, answer me, that this people may know that thou Jehovah art God, and [that] thou hast turned their heart back again.
Denggennak, O Yahweh, denggennak, tapno maammoan dagitoy a tattao, a sika O Yahweh, ket Dios, ken insublim manen dagiti pusoda kenka.”
38 And the fire of Jehovah fell, and consumed the burnt-offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
Ket nagtinnag ti apuy ni Yahweh ket inkisapna ti daton a mapuoran, agraman dagiti kayo, dagiti batbato, ken ti tapok ken pinagmagana dagiti danum nga adda iti kanal.
39 And all the people saw [it], and they fell on their faces and said, Jehovah, he is God! Jehovah, he is God!
Idi nakita dagiti amin a tattao daytoy, nagpaklebda ket kinunada, “Ni Yahweh ti Dios! Ni Yahweh ti Dios!”
40 And Elijah said to them, Seize the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape! And they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the torrent of Kishon, and slaughtered them there.
Isu a kinuna ni Elias kadakuada, “Tiliwenyo dagiti profeta ni Baal. Saanyo nga ipalubos nga adda uray maysa a makalibas kadakuada.” Innalada ngarud ida ket inyapan ni Elias dagiti profeta ni Baal iti waig ti Kison ket pinatayna ida sadiay.
41 And Elijah said to Ahab, Go up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.
Kinuna ni Elias kenni Ahab, “Tumakderka, manganka ken uminomka, ta mangngegko ti daranudor ti napigsa a tudo.”
42 And Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed down on the earth, and put his face between his knees.
Isu a napan ni Ahab tapno mangan ken uminom. Ket simmang-at ni Elias iti tuktok ti Carmel, indumogna ti rupana iti nagbaetan dagiti tumengna.
43 And he said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up and looked, and said, [There is] nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.
Kinuna ni Elias iti adipenna, “Sumang-atka ita, tannawagam ti baybay.” Simmang-at ti adipenna ket kimmita ket kinunana, “Awan pulos ti nakitak.” Isu a kinuna ni Elias, “Mapanka manen, iti maminpito a daras.”
44 And it came to pass at the seventh time that he said, Behold there is a cloud, small as a man's hand, arising out of the sea. And he said, Go up, say to Ahab, Harness and go down, that the pour of rain stop thee not.
Iti maikapito a daras, kinuna ti adipen, “Kitaem, adda ulep nga agpangpangato manipud iti baybay, a kas iti kabassit ti dakulap ti maysa a tao.” Insungbat ni Elias, “Sumang-atka ket ibagam kenni Ahab, 'Isaganam ti karwahem ket sumalogkan sakbay a pasardengennaka ti tudo iti panagawidmo.'”
45 And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heavens became black [with] clouds and wind, and there was a great pour of rain. And Ahab got on the chariot, and went to Jizreel.
Ket napasamak nga iti apagbiit, nanglangeb ti tangatang nga addaan kadagiti ulep ken angin, ket nagtudo iti napigsa. Limmugan ni Ahab ket napan idiay Jezreel,
46 And the hand of Jehovah was upon Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jizreel.
ngem adda kenni Elias ti pannakabalin ni Yahweh. Binareksanna ti kagayna ket nagtaray agingga a naun-unaanna ni Ahab a dimmanon iti pagserkan ti Jezreel.
