1 Kings 18
1 And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah, in the third year, saying: 'Go, show thyself unto Ahab, and I will send rain upon the land.'
Ie andro maro añe, le niheo amy Elià ty tsara’ Iehovà, amy taom-paha-teloy ami’ ty hoe: Akia, miatrefa amy Akabe, fa hampahaviako orañe ty tane toy.
2 And Elijah went to show himself unto Ahab. And the famine was sore in Samaria.
Aa le niheo mb’eo t’i Elià hiatrek’ amy Akabe. Toe nampalovilovy ty san-kerè e Somerone ao.
3 And Ahab called Obadiah, who was over the household. — Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly;
Le kinanji’ i Akabe t’i Obadià mpamandroñe i anjombay (toe mpañeveñe am’Iehovà t’i Obadià;
4 for it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water. —
fa teo te nañitoa’ Iizebele o mpitoki’ Iehovào, le rinambe’ i Obadià ty mpitoky zato naho naeta’e ki-limampolo an-dakato ao vaho finaha’e mofo naho rano.)
5 And Ahab said unto Obadiah: 'Go through the land, unto all the springs of water, and unto all the brooks; peradventure we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.'
Fa hoe ty asa’ i Akabe amy Obadià, Akia, tsitsiho i taney, mb’ amy ze rano manganahana naho mb’amo torahañeo hera hahaisak’ ahetse tika handrombahañe o soavalao naho o borìkeo ho veloñe, tsy mone ho motso aman-tika o hare iabio.
6 So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
Aa le nifanjarà’ iereo i taney hirangà’ iareo; nanjenge mb’ añ’ ila’e t’i Akabe, vaho nitakiokioke mb’añ’ ila’e t’i Obadià.
7 And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him; and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said: 'Is it thou, my lord Elijah?'
Aa ie amy fañaveloa’ey t’i Obadia le nifanalaka ama’e t’i Elià; ie niisa’e, le nihotrak’ an-dahara’e, nanao ty hoe: Tsy i Elià talèkoy v’iheo?
8 And he answered him: 'It is I; go, tell thy lord: Behold, Elijah is here.'
Le hoe ty natoi’e, Zaho ‘nio; akia, taroño amy talè’oy ty hoe, Atoy t’i Elià.
9 And he said: 'Wherein have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?
Le hoe re, Ino o hakeokoo, te hasese’o am-pità’ i Akabe ty mpitoro’o hanjevoa’e?
10 As the LORD thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee; and when they said: He is not here, he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not.
Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, tsy eo ty fifeheañe ndra fifelehañe tsy nañiraha’ i talèkoy hitsoeha’e; le ie nanao ty hoe, Tsy atoy re, le nampifantae’e i borizàñey naho i fifeheañey t’ie tsy naharendrek’ azo.
11 And now thou sayest: Go, tell thy lord: Behold, Elijah is here.
Ie amy zao, hoe ty saontsi’o: Akia, taroño amy talè’oy. Inao, fa atoy t’i Elià.
12 And it will come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the spirit of the LORD will carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he will slay me; but I thy servant fear the LORD from my youth.
Ie amy zay, vata’e hienga azo raho le hasese’ ty Tio’ Iehovà mb’amy amoeako añey rehe; aa ie miheo mb’amy Akabe mb’eo hataliliko, vaho tsy mahatendrek’ azo, le havetra’e; toe mpañeveñe am’ Iehovà ty mpitoro’o sikal’ ami’ ty nahajalahy ahy.
13 Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid a hundred men of the LORD'S prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?
Tsy naboak’ amy talèkoy hao ty nanoeko, ie nanjamañe o mpitoki’ Iehovào t’Iizebele? t’ie nañetake ondaty zato, mpitoki’ Iehovào ki-limampolo an-dakato ao vaho nifahanako mofo naho rano?
14 And now thou sayest: Go, tell thy lord: Behold, Elijah is here; and he will slay me.'
Le ihe manao ty hoe: Akia, taroño i talè’oy ty hoe: Inao, atoy t’i Elià, hanjevoa’e ahy.
15 And Elijah said: 'As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself unto him to-day.'
Aa le hoe t’i Elià: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà’ i Màro fijohañakoy, toe hiatrek’ aze raho te anito.
16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him; and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
Aa le niavotse t’i Obadià hifanalaka amy Akabe, le tinaro’e ama’e vaho nimb’eo t’i Akabe hifañaoñe amy Elià.
17 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him: 'Is it thou, thou troubler of Israel?'
Ie nitendreke i Elià t’i Akabe, le hoe t’i Akabe ama’e: Ihe v’zao, ty mpitrobo Israele?
18 And he answered: 'I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed the Baalim.
Le hoe ty natoi’e: Tsy zaho ty mitrobo Israele fa ihe naho ty anjomban-drae’o, kanao tsinambolitio’ areo o lili’ Iehovào vaho norihe’o o Baaleo.
19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the Asherah four hundred, that eat at Jezebel's table.'
Akia, ampañitrifo, vaho atontono amako mb’etoa iaby t’Israele an-kaboa’ i Karmele ey naho i mpitokim-Baale efa-jato-tsi-limampolo rey, naho i mpitoki’ i Aserà efa-jato mpikama am-pandambaña’ Iizebele rey.
20 And Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.
Aa le nampañitrife’ i Akabe o ana’ Israele iabio vaho natonto’e an-kaboa’ i Karmele eo o mpitokio.
21 And Elijah came near unto all the people, and said: 'How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.' And the people answered him not a word.
Nitotofe’ i Elià ondatio, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Ampara’ te ombia ty mbe hifejofejo añivon-tsafiry roe? Naho Iehovà ro Andrianañahare, oriho, fa naho i Baale ka, le oriho. Tsy nahakofò-bolan-draike ondatio.
22 Then said Elijah unto the people: 'I, even I only, am left a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
Le hoe t’i Elià am’ ondatio. Zaho le zaho avao ty mpitoky honka’ Iehovà; fe ondaty efa-jato-tsi-limampolo ty mpitoki’ i Baale.
23 Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under; and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under.
Aa le ampanoloro bania roe zahay, ho joboñe’ iereo ty a iareo, naho ho lilie’ iareo vaho hasampe amo hatae’eo, fa tsy hasiañ’ afo ty ambane’e ao; le zaho ka ty hikotepe ty bania ila’e naho hapoko ambone’ ty hatae vaho tsy hamiañako afo ty ambane’e ao.
24 And call ye on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the LORD; and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God.' And all the people answered and said: 'It is well spoken.'
Tokavo amy zay ty añaran-drahare’ areo, le ho kanjieko ty tahina’ Iehovà; vaho ze Andrianañahare manoiñe an’afo, Ie ro Andrianañahare. Hene nanoiñe ondatio nanao: Saontsy soa zay.
25 And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal: 'Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under.'
Le hoe t’i Elià amo mpitoki’ i Baaleo: Joboño’ areo ty bania’ areo, le hajario heike, amy t’ie maro, le tokavo ty añaran-drahare’ areo, fe ko mamiañ’ afo.
26 And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying: 'O Baal, answer us.' But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they danced in halting wise about the altar which was made.
Aa le rinambe’ iareo ty bania natolotse naho hinajari’ iereo vaho tinoka’ iareo ty añara’ i Baale mifototse amy maraindraiñey pak’ an-tsipinde mena, ami’ty hoe: O Baale, toiño. Fe leo feo raike tsy nanoiñe. Nitsamboatsamboañe an-tsinjake iereo añariari’ i kitrely namboare’ iereoy.
27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said: 'Cry aloud; for he is a god; either he is musing, or he is gone aside, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.'
Ie tsipinde-mena, le kiniza’ i Elià ami’ty hoe: Ipazapazaho, kanao ‘ndrahare, he tondren-dre, ke miamontoñe, he nifokofoko añe; ke miroro ho tsekafeñe.
28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with swords and lances, till the blood gushed out upon them.
Aa le pinoña’ iereo ty fipazake, naho nandili-vatañe ama-meso naho lefoñe an-tsata’ iareo am-para’ te nidoandoan-dio.
29 And it was so, when midday was past, that they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening offering; but their was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.
Ie añe i tsingilingilieñey, mbe nitoky avao iereo sikal’ amy fisoroñañe harivay, f’ie tsy amam-peo, tsy amam-panoiñe, tsy amam-pañaoñe.
30 And Elijah said unto all the people: 'Come near unto me'; and all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was thrown down.
Le hoe t’i Elià am’ ondatio. Miharinea; le nañarivoa’ ondatio, vaho namboare’e i kitreli’ Iehovà rinotsakey.
31 And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying: 'Israel shall be thy name.'
Nandrambe vato folo-ro’ amby t’i Elià ty ami’ty ia’ i fifokoan’ ana’ Iakobe rey; ie niheova’ ty tsara’ Iehovày nanao ty hoe: Israele ty ho tahina’o;
32 And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD; and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.
le namboare’e kitrely amy vato rey ami’ty tahina’ Iehovà; le nihalie’e talahake niarikatoke i kitreliy, nahaatseke fañaranan-tabiry roe ty habei’e.
33 And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it on the wood.
Hinajari’e amy zao ty hatae, naho rinasa’e i baniay vaho nampipoha’e ambone’ o hataeo eo,
34 And he said: 'Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt-offering, and on the wood.' 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.
le nanao ty hoe: Atsafo rano ty sajoa efatse vaho adoaño amo hisoroñañeo naho amo hataeo. Le hoe re, Ano fañindroe’e, le nanoe’ iereo fañindroe’e. Le hoe re: Ano fañintelo’e, vaho nanoe’ iareo fañintelo’e.
35 And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.
Aa le nikararak’ añ’ ariseho’ i kitreliy i ranoy, nañatsake i talahay an-drano.
36 And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening offering, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said: 'O LORD, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of 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 at Thy word.
Ie amy fisoroñan-karivay le nañarine mb’eo t’i Elià mpitoky nanao ty hoe: Ry Iehovà Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame naho Ietsake vaho Israele, ampaharofoano anito te Ihe ro Andrianañahare e Israele ao naho te zaho ro mpitoro’o vaho amy tsara’oy ty nanoeko ze he’e zao.
37 Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that Thou, LORD, art God, for Thou didst turn their heart backward.'
Janjiño raho, ry Iehovà, janjiño, hahafohina’ ondaty retoañe te Ihe ro Iehovà Andrianañahare, mpampipoly ty arofo’ iareo.
38 Then the fire of the LORD 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.
Nipozak’ eo amy zao ty afo’ Iehovà namorototo i engan-koroañey naho o hataeo naho o vatoo naho i debokey vaho nitsela ty rano an-kaly ao.
39 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said: 'The LORD, He is God; the LORD, He is God.'
Ie nahaisake zay ondatio, le songa niankotrak’ an-dahara’e nanao ty hoe: Iehovà, ie ro Andrianañahare; Iehovà, ie ro Andrianañahare.
40 And Elijah said unto them: 'Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape.' And they took them; and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.
Le hoe t’i Elià am’ iereo: Vahoro o mpitoki’ i Baaleo; ko apo’ areo hienga ndra raike; le tsinepa’ iareo; nindese’ i Elià nizotso mb’amy Kidrone torahañe mb’eo vaho zinama’e.
41 And Elijah said unto Ahab: 'Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain.'
Le hoe t’i Elià amy Akabe: Mionjona, mikamà naho minoma; fa inao ty feon-oram-bey.
42 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees.
Aa le nañambone ey t’i Akabe nikama naho nitohoke. Nanganike mb’an-kaboa’ i Karmele mb’eo ka t’i Elià le nibokoke mb’an-tane, ty lahara’e añivo’ o ongo’eo;
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.'
le hoe re amy mpitoro’ey, Mionjona, le mitalakesa mb’ an-driake eñe. Nionjom-beo re vaho nanao ty hoe: Tsy ama’e. Le hoe re: Mibaliha mb’eo im-pito.
44 And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said: 'Behold, there ariseth a cloud out of the sea, as small as a man's hand.' And he said: 'Go up, say unto Ahab: Make ready thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.'
Ie amy faha-fitoy, le hoe ty asa’e: Hehe ty rahoñe hoe lela-pità’ ondaty miakatse an-driake eñe. Le hoe re, Akia, ano ty hoe amy Akabe: Hentseño i sarete’oy le mizotsoa, soa tsy hanebañ’ azo i orañey.
45 And it came to pass in a little while, that the heaven grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.
Ie amy zao nigobon-drahoñe naho tioke i likerañey vaho nikojojoake ty orañe. Aa le niningitse mb’e Iezreele mb’eo t’i Akabe.
46 And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
Tamy Elià ty fità’ Iehovà, le nidian-tohake vaho nilay aolo’ i Akabe mb’eo pak’ am-pimoahañe e Iezreele añe.
