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.
At nangyari, pagkaraan ng maraming araw, na ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating kay Elias, sa ikatlong taon, na nagsasabi, Ikaw ay yumaon, pakita ka kay Achab; at ako'y magpapaulan sa lupa.
2 And Elijah went to shew himself to Ahab. And the famine was severe in Samaria.
At si Elias ay yumaon napakita kay Achab. At ang kagutom ay malala sa Samaria.
3 And Ahab called Obadiah, who was the steward of his house (now Obadiah feared Jehovah greatly;
At tinawag ni Achab si Abdias na siyang katiwala sa bahay. (Si Abdias nga ay natatakot na mainam sa Panginoon:
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);
Sapagka't nangyari, nang ihiwalay ni Jezabel ang mga propeta ng Panginoon, na kumuha si Abdias ng isang daang propeta, at ikinubli na limalimangpu sa isang yungib, at pinakain sila ng tinapay at tubig, )
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.
At sinabi ni Achab kay Abdias, Lakarin mo ang lupain, hanggang sa lahat ng mga bukal ng tubig, at hanggang sa lahat ng mga batis: marahil tayo'y makakasumpong ng damo, at maililigtas nating buhay ang mga kabayo at mga mula upang huwag tayong mawalan ng lahat na hayop.
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.
Sa gayo'y pinaghati nila ang lupain sa gitna nila upang lakarin: si Achab ay lumakad ng kaniyang sarili sa isang daan, at si Abdias ay lumakad ng kaniyang sarili sa isang daan.
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?
At samantalang si Abdias ay nasa daan, narito, nasalubong siya ni Elias: at nakilala niya siya, at nagpatirapa, at nagsabi, Di ba ikaw, ang panginoon kong si Elias?
8 And he said to him, I [am he]: go, say to thy lord, Behold Elijah!
At siya'y sumagot sa kaniya, Ako nga: ikaw ay yumaon, saysayin mo sa iyong panginoon, Narito, si Elias ay nandito.
9 And he said, What have I sinned, that thou givest thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to put me to death?
At kaniyang sinabi, Sa ano ako nagkasala na iyong ibibigay ang iyong lingkod sa kamay ni Achab, upang patayin ako?
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.
Buhay ang Panginoon mong Dios, walang bansa o kaharian man na hindi pinagpahanapan sa iyo ng aking panginoon: at pagka kanilang sinasabi, Siya'y wala rito, kaniyang pinasusumpa ang kaharian at bansa, na hindi kinasusumpungan sa iyo.
11 And now thou sayest, Go, say to thy lord, Behold Elijah!
At ngayo'y iyong sinasabi, Ikaw ay yumaon, saysayin mo sa iyong panginoon, Narito, si Elias ay nandito.
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.
At mangyayari, pagkahiwalay ko sa iyo na dadalhin ka ng Espiritu ng Panginoon sa hindi ko nalalaman; na anopa't pagka ako'y pumaroon at isinaysay ko kay Achab, at ikaw ay hindi niya nasumpungan, papatayin niya ako: nguni't akong iyong lingkod ay natatakot sa Panginoon mula sa aking pagkabinata.
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?
Hindi ba nasaysay sa aking panginoon, kung ano ang aking ginawa nang patayin ni Jezabel ang mga propeta ng Panginoon, kung paanong nagkubli ako ng isang daan sa mga propeta ng Panginoon, na limalimangpu sa isang yungib, at pinakain ko sila ng tinapay at tubig?
14 And now thou sayest, Go, say to thy lord, Behold Elijah! and he will kill me.
At ngayo'y iyong sinasabi, Ikaw ay yumaon, saysayin mo sa iyong panginoon. Narito, si Elias ay nandito; at papatayin niya ako.
15 And Elijah said, As Jehovah of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will certainly shew myself to him to-day.
At sinabi ni Elias, Buhay ang Panginoon ng mga hukbo, na sa harap niya'y nakatayo ako, ako'y walang salang pakikita sa kaniya ngayon.
16 Then Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him. And Ahab went to meet Elijah.
Sa gayo'y yumaon si Abdias upang salubungin si Achab, at sinaysay sa kaniya: at si Achab ay yumaon upang salubungin si Elias.
17 And it came to pass when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, Is it thou, the troubler of Israel?
At nangyari, nang makita ni Achab si Elias, na sinabi ni Achab sa kaniya, Di ba ikaw, ang mangbabagabag sa 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.
At siya'y sumagot, Hindi ko binagabag ang Israel; kundi ikaw, at ang sangbahayan ng iyong ama, sa inyong pagkapabaya ng mga utos ng Panginoon, at ikaw ay sumunod kay Baal.
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.
Ngayon nga'y magsugo ka, at pisanin mo sa akin ang buong Israel sa bundok ng Carmelo, at ang mga propeta ni Baal na apat na raan at limangpu, at ang mga propeta ni Asera na apat na raan, na nagsikain sa dulang ni Jezabel.
20 So Ahab sent to all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.
Sa gayo'y nagsugo si Achab sa lahat ng mga anak ni Israel, at pinisan ang mga propeta sa bundok ng Carmelo.
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.
At si Elias ay lumapit sa buong bayan, at nagsabi, Hanggang kaylan kayo mangagaalinlangan sa dalawang isipan? kung ang Panginoon ay Dios, sumunod kayo sa kaniya: nguni't kung si Baal, sumunod nga kayo sa kaniya. At ang bayan ay hindi sumagot sa kaniya kahit isang salita.
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.
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Elias sa bayan, Ako, ako lamang, ang naiwang propeta ng Panginoon; nguni't ang mga propeta ni Baal ay apat na raan at limang pung lalake.
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.
Bigyan nga nila tayo ng dalawang baka; at pumili sila sa ganang kanila ng isang baka, at katayin, at ilagay sa ibabaw ng kahoy, at huwag lagyan ng apoy sa ilalim: at ihahanda ko ang isang baka at ilalagay ko sa kahoy, at hindi ko lalagyan ng apoy sa ilalim.
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.
At tawagan ninyo ang pangalan ng inyong dios, at tatawagan ko ang pangalan ng Panginoon: at ang Dios na sumagot sa pamamagitan ng apoy, ay siyang maging Dios. At ang buong bayan ay sumagot, at nagsabi, Mabuti ang pagkasabi.
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.
At sinabi ni Elias sa mga propeta ni Baal, Magsipili kayo ng isang baka sa ganang inyo, at inyong ihandang una, sapagka't kayo'y marami; at tawagan ninyo ang pangalan ng inyong dios, nguni't huwag ninyong lagyan ng apoy sa ilalim.
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.
At kanilang kinuha ang baka na ibinigay sa kanila, at kanilang inihanda, at tinawagan ang pangalan ni Baal mula sa kinaumagahan hanggang sa kinatanghaliang tapat, na nagsisipagsabi, Oh Baal dinggin mo kami. Nguni't walang tinig, o sinomang sumagot. At sila'y nagsisilukso sa siping ng dambana na ginawa.
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.
At nangyari, nang kinatanghaliang tapat, na biniro sila ni Elias, at sinabi, Sumigaw kayo ng malakas: sapagka't siya'y dios; siya nga'y nagmumunimuni, o nasa tabi, o nasa paglalakbay, o marahil siya'y natutulog, at marapat gisingin.
28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with swords and spears, till the blood gushed out upon them.
At sila'y nagsisigaw ng malakas, at sila'y nagsipagkudlit ayon sa kanilang kaugalian ng sundang at mga sibat, hanggang sa bumuluwak ang dugo sa kanila.
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.
At nangyari nang makaraan ang kinatanghaliang tapat, na sila'y nanghula hanggang sa oras ng paghahandog ng alay na ukol sa hapon: nguni't wala kahit tinig, ni sinomang sumagot, ni sinomang makinig.
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.
At sinabi ni Elias sa buong bayan, Lumapit kayo sa akin; at ang buong bayan ay lumapit sa kaniya. At kaniyang inayos ang dambana ng Panginoon na nabagsak.
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;
At kumuha si Elias ng labing dalawang bato, ayon sa bilang ng mga lipi ng mga anak ni Jacob, na sa kaniya ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating, na sinasabi, Israel ang magiging iyong pangalan.
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;
At sa pamamagitan ng mga bato ay kaniyang itinayo ang dambana sa pangalan ng Panginoon; at kaniyang nilagyan ng hukay sa palibot ng dambana, na ang laki ay kasisidlan ng dalawang takal na binhi.
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.
At kaniyang inilagay ang kahoy na maayos, at kinatay ang baka at ipinatong sa kahoy. At kaniyang sinabi, Punuin ninyo ang apat na tapayan ng tubig, at ibuhos ninyo sa handog na susunugin, at sa kahoy.
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.
At kaniyang sinabi, Gawin ninyong ikalawa; at kanilang ginawang ikalawa. At kaniyang sinabi, Gawin ninyong ikaitlo; at kanilang ginawang ikaitlo.
35 And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.
At ang tubig ay umagos sa palibot ng dambana; at kaniyang pinuno naman ng tubig ang hukay.
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.
At nangyari, sa oras ng paghahandog ng alay sa hapon, na si Elias, na propeta ay lumapit, at nagsabi, Oh Panginoon, na Dios ni Abraham, ni Isaac, at ni Israel, pakilala ka sa araw na ito, na ikaw ay Dios sa Israel, at ako ang iyong lingkod, at aking ginawa ang lahat na bagay na ito sa iyong salita.
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.
Dinggin mo ako, Oh Panginoon, dinggin mo ako, upang matalastas ng bayang ito, na ikaw, na Panginoon, ay Dios, at iyong pinapanumbalik ang kanilang puso.
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.
Nang magkagayo'y ang apoy ng Panginoon ay nalaglag, at sinupok ang handog na susunugin at ang kahoy, at ang mga bato, at ang alabok, at hinimuran ang tubig na nasa hukay.
39 And all the people saw [it], and they fell on their faces and said, Jehovah, he is God! Jehovah, he is God!
At nang makita ng buong bayan, sila'y nagpatirapa: at kanilang sinabi, Ang Panginoon ay siyang Dios; ang Panginoon ay siyang 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.
At sinabi ni Elias sa kanila, Dakpin ninyo ang mga propeta ni Baal; huwag makatanan ang sinoman sa kanila. At kanilang dinakip sila: at sila'y ibinaba ni Elias sa batis ng Cison, at pinatay roon.
41 And Elijah said to Ahab, Go up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.
At sinabi ni Elias kay Achab, Ikaw ay umahon, kumain ka at uminom ka; sapagka't may hugong ng kasaganaan ng ulan.
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.
Sa gayo'y umahon si Achab upang kumain at uminom. At si Elias ay umahon sa taluktok ng Carmelo; at siya'y yumukod sa lupa, at inilagay ang kaniyang mukha sa pagitan ng kaniyang mga tuhod.
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.
At kaniyang sinabi sa kaniyang lingkod, Umahon ka ngayon, tumingin ka sa dakong dagat. At siya'y umahon at tumingin, at nagsabi, Walang anomang bagay. At kaniyang sinabi, Yumaon ka uling makapito.
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.
At nangyari, sa ikapito, na kaniyang sinabi, Narito, may bumangong isang ulap sa dagat, na kasingliit ng kamay ng isang lalake. At kaniyang sinabi, Ikaw ay yumaon, sabihin mo kay Achab, Ihanda mo ang iyong karo, at ikaw ay lumusong baka ka mapigil ng ulan.
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.
At nangyari, pagkaraan ng sangdali, na ang langit ay nagdilim sa alapaap at hangin, at nagkaroon ng malakas na ulan. At si Achab ay sumakay, at naparoon sa 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.
At ang kamay ng Panginoon ay nasa kay Elias; at kaniyang binigkisan ang kaniyang mga balakang, at tumakbong nagpauna kay Achab sa pasukan ng Jezreel.
