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.'
Ó sì ṣe, lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ púpọ̀, ní ọdún kẹta, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ Elijah wá pé, “Lọ, kí o sì fi ara rẹ̀ hàn fún Ahabu, èmi yóò sì rọ òjò sórí ilẹ̀.”
2 And Elijah went to show himself unto Ahab. And the famine was sore in Samaria.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Elijah lọ fi ara rẹ̀ han Ahabu. Ìyàn ńlá sì mú ní Samaria,
3 And Ahab called Obadiah, who was over the household. — Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly;
Ahabu sì ti pe Obadiah, ẹni tí ń ṣe olórí ilé rẹ̀. Obadiah sì bẹ̀rù Olúwa gidigidi.
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. —
Nígbà tí Jesebeli sì ń pa àwọn wòlíì Olúwa kúrò, Obadiah sì mú ọgọ́rùn-ún wòlíì, ó sì fi wọ́n pamọ́ sínú ihò òkúta, àádọ́ta ní ihò kọ̀ọ̀kan, ó sì fi àkàrà pẹ̀lú omi bọ́ wọn.
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.'
Ahabu sì ti wí fún Obadiah pé, “Lọ sí gbogbo ilẹ̀ sí orísun omi gbogbo àti sí ilẹ̀ gbogbo. Bóyá àwa lè rí koríko láti gba àwọn ẹṣin àti àwọn ìbáaka là, kí a má bá à ṣòfò àwọn ẹranko pátápátá.”
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì pín ilẹ̀ tí wọ́n fẹ́ dé láàrín ara wọn, Ahabu gba ọ̀nà kan lọ, Obadiah sì gba ọ̀nà mìíràn lọ.
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?'
Bí Obadiah sì ti ń rìn lọ, Elijah sì pàdé rẹ̀. Obadiah sì mọ̀ ọ́n, ó dojúbolẹ̀, ó sì wí pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ ni nítòótọ́, Elijah, olúwa mi?”
8 And he answered him: 'It is I; go, tell thy lord: Behold, Elijah is here.'
Elijah sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, lọ kí o sọ fún olúwa rẹ pé, ‘Elijah ń bẹ níhìn-ín.’”
9 And he said: 'Wherein have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?
Obadiah sì béèrè pé, “Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ kí ni mo ha dá tí ìwọ fi ń fi ìránṣẹ́ rẹ lé Ahabu lọ́wọ́ láti pa?
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.
Mo mọ̀ dájú pé bí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ ti ń bẹ, kò sí orílẹ̀-èdè tàbí ìjọba kan tí olúwa mi kò ti rán ènìyàn lọ láti wò ọ́. Àti nígbà tí orílẹ̀-èdè tàbí ìjọba kan bá wí pé o kò sí, òun a sì mú kí wọ́n búra wí pé wọn kò rí ọ.
11 And now thou sayest: Go, tell thy lord: Behold, Elijah is here.
Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, ìwọ wí fún mi pé kí n lọ sọ́dọ̀ olúwa mi, kí n sì wí pé, ‘Elijah ń bẹ níhìn-ín.’
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.
Èmi kò sì mọ ibi tí ẹ̀mí Olúwa yóò gbé ọ lọ nígbà tí mo bá fi ọ́ sílẹ̀. Bí mo bá lọ, tí mo sì sọ fún Ahabu, tí kò sì rí ọ, òun a sì pa mí. Síbẹ̀ èmi ìránṣẹ́ rẹ bẹ̀rù Olúwa láti ìgbà èwe mi wá.
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?
Ṣé Olúwa mi kò ha ti gbọ́ ohun tí mo ṣe nígbà tí Jesebeli ń pa àwọn wòlíì Olúwa? Mo fi ọgọ́rùn-ún wòlíì Olúwa pamọ́ sínú ihò òkúta méjì, àràádọ́ta ní ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan, mo sì fi omi àti oúnjẹ bọ́ wọn.
14 And now thou sayest: Go, tell thy lord: Behold, Elijah is here; and he will slay me.'
Ìwọ sì sọ fún mi nísinsin yìí pé, kí n tọ olúwa mi lọ pé, ‘Elijah ń bẹ níhìn-ín.’ Òun a sì pa mí!”
15 And Elijah said: 'As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself unto him to-day.'
Elijah sì wí pé, “Bí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ti wà, ẹni tí èmi ń sìn, nítòótọ́ èmi yóò fi ara mi hàn fún Ahabu lónìí.”
16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him; and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Obadiah sì lọ láti pàdé Ahabu, ó sì sọ fún un, Ahabu sì lọ láti pàdé Elijah.
17 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him: 'Is it thou, thou troubler of Israel?'
Nígbà tí Ahabu sì rí Elijah, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ṣé ìwọ nìyìí, ìwọ tí ń yọ Israẹli lẹ́nu?”
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.
Elijah sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Èmi kò yọ Israẹli lẹ́nu, bí kò ṣe ìwọ àti ilé baba rẹ. Ẹ ti kọ òfin Olúwa sílẹ̀, ẹ sì ń tọ Baali lẹ́yìn.
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.'
Nísinsin yìí kó gbogbo Israẹli jọ láti pàdé mi lórí òkè Karmeli. Àti kí o sì mú àádọ́ta lé ní irinwó àwọn wòlíì Baali àti irinwó àwọn wòlíì òrìṣà Aṣerah tí wọ́n ń jẹun ní tábìlì Jesebeli.”
20 And Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Ahabu ránṣẹ́ sí gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, ó sì kó àwọn wòlíì jọ sí orí òkè Karmeli.
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.
Elijah sì lọ síwájú gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn, ó sì wí pé, “Yóò ti pẹ́ tó tí ẹ̀yin yóò máa ṣiyèméjì? Bí Olúwa bá ni Ọlọ́run, ẹ máa tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn, ṣùgbọ́n bí Baali bá ni Ọlọ́run, ẹ máa tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn.” Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn náà kò sì wí ohun kan.
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.
Nígbà náà ni Elijah wí fún wọn pé, “Èmi nìkan ṣoṣo ni ó kù ní wòlíì Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n, àádọ́ta lé ní irinwó ni wòlíì Baali.
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.
Ẹ fún wa ní ẹgbọrọ akọ màlúù méjì. Jẹ́ kí wọn kí ó sì yan ẹgbọrọ akọ màlúù kan fún ara wọn, kí wọn kí ó sì gé e sí wẹ́wẹ́, kí wọn kí ó sì tò ó sí orí igi, kí wọn kí ó má ṣe fi iná sí i. Èmi yóò sì tún ẹgbọrọ akọ màlúù kejì ṣe, èmi yóò sì tò ó sórí igi, èmi kì yóò sì fi iná sí i.
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.'
Nígbà náà ẹ ó sì ké pe orúkọ àwọn Ọlọ́run yín, èmi yóò sì ké pe orúkọ Olúwa. Ọlọ́run náà tí ó fi iná dáhùn, òun ni Ọlọ́run.” Nígbà náà ni gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà sì wí pé, “Ohun tí ìwọ sọ dára.”
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.'
Elijah sì wí fún àwọn wòlíì Baali wí pé, “Ẹ yan ẹgbọrọ akọ màlúù kan fún ara yín, kí ẹ sì tètè kọ́ ṣe é, nítorí ẹ̀yin pọ̀. Ẹ ké pe orúkọ àwọn ọlọ́run yín, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ má ṣe fi iná sí i.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni wọ́n sì mú ẹgbọrọ akọ màlúù náà, tí a ti fi fún wọn, wọ́n sì ṣe é. Nígbà náà ni wọ́n sì ké pe orúkọ Baali láti òwúrọ̀ títí di ọ̀sán gangan wí pé, “Baali! Dá wa lóhùn!” Wọ́n sì ń kégbe. Ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ìdáhùn; kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó sì dáhùn. Wọ́n sì jó yí pẹpẹ náà ká, èyí tí wọ́n tẹ́.
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.'
Ní ọ̀sán gangan, Elijah bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ń fi wọ́n ṣe ẹlẹ́yà ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ kígbe lóhùn rara Ọlọ́run sá à ni òun! Bóyá ó ń ṣe àṣàrò, tàbí kò ráyè, tàbí ó re àjò. Bóyá ó sùn, ó yẹ kí a jí i.”
28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with swords and lances, till the blood gushed out upon them.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì kígbe lóhùn rara, wọ́n sì fi ọ̀bẹ àti ọ̀kọ̀ ya ara wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìṣe wọn, títí tí ẹ̀jẹ̀ fi tú jáde ní ara wọn.
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.
Nígbà tí ọjọ́ yẹ àtàrí, wọ́n sì ń fi òmùgọ̀ sọtẹ́lẹ̀ títí di àkókò ìrúbọ àṣálẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ohùn, kò sì ṣí ìdáhùn, kò sì ṣí ẹni tí ó kà á sí.
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.
Nígbà náà ni Elijah wí fún gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà pé, “Ẹ súnmọ́ mi.” Wọ́n sì súnmọ́ ọn, ó sì tún pẹpẹ Olúwa tí ó ti wó lulẹ̀ ṣe.
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.'
Elijah sì mú òkúta méjìlá, ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan fún ẹ̀yà ọmọ Jakọbu kan, ẹni tí ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ wá wí pé, “Israẹli ni orúkọ rẹ̀ yóò máa jẹ́.”
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.
Ó sì tẹ́ pẹpẹ pẹ̀lú àwọn òkúta wọ̀nyí ní orúkọ Olúwa, ó sì wa yàrá yí pẹpẹ náà ká, tí ó lè gba ìwọ̀n òsùwọ̀n irúgbìn méjì.
33 And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it on the wood.
Ó sì to igi náà dáradára, ó sì ké ẹgbọrọ akọ màlúù náà wẹ́wẹ́, ó sì tò ó sórí igi. Nígbà náà ni ó sì wí fún wọn wí pé, “Ẹ fi omi kún ìkòkò mẹ́rin, kí ẹ sì tu sórí ẹbọ sísun àti sórí igi náà.”
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.
Ó sì wí pe, “Ẹ ṣe é ní ìgbà kejì.” Wọ́n sì ṣe é ní ìgbà kejì. Ó sì tún wí pé, “Ṣe é ní ìgbà kẹta.”
35 And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.
Omi náà sì sàn yí pẹpẹ náà ká, ó sì fi omi kún yàrá náà pẹ̀lú.
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.
Ó sì ṣe, ní ìrúbọ àṣálẹ́, wòlíì Elijah sì súnmọ́ tòsí, ó sì gbàdúrà wí pé, “Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Abrahamu, Isaaki àti Israẹli, jẹ́ kí ó di mí mọ̀ lónìí pé ìwọ ni Ọlọ́run ní Israẹli àti pé èmi ni ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, àti pé mo ṣe gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí nípa àṣẹ rẹ.
37 Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that Thou, LORD, art God, for Thou didst turn their heart backward.'

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.
Nígbà náà ni iná Olúwa bọ́ sílẹ̀, ó sì sun ẹbọ sísun náà àti igi, àti àwọn òkúta, àti erùpẹ̀, ó sì tún lá omi tí ń bẹ nínú yàrá náà.
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.'
Nígbà tí gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn sì rí èyí, wọ́n da ojú wọn bolẹ̀, wọ́n sì kígbe pé, “Olúwa, òun ni Ọlọ́run! Olúwa, òun ni Ọlọ́run!”
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.
Nígbà náà ni Elijah sì pàṣẹ fún wọn pé, “Ẹ mú àwọn wòlíì Baali. Ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí ọ̀kan nínú wọn kí ó sálọ!” Wọ́n sì mú wọn, Elijah sì mú wọn sọ̀kalẹ̀ sí àfonífojì Kiṣoni, ó sì pa wọ́n níbẹ̀.
41 And Elijah said unto Ahab: 'Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain.'
Elijah sì wí fún Ahabu pé, “Lọ, jẹ, kí o sì mu, nítorí ìró ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ òjò ń bọ̀.”
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Ahabu gòkè lọ láti jẹ àti láti mu. Ṣùgbọ́n Elijah gun orí òkè Karmeli lọ ó sì tẹríba, ó sì fi ojú rẹ̀ sí agbede-méjì eékún rẹ̀.
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.'
Ó sì wí fún ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ pé, “Lọ, kí o sì wo ìhà Òkun, òun sì gòkè lọ, ó sì wò.” Ó sì wí pé, “Kò sí nǹkan níbẹ̀.” Ó sì wí pé, “Tún lọ nígbà méje.”
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.'
Nígbà keje, ìránṣẹ́ náà sì wí pé, “Àwọsánmọ̀ kékeré kan dìde láti inú Òkun, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọwọ́ ènìyàn.” Elijah sì wí pé, “Lọ, kí o sọ fún Ahabu pé, ‘Di kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ rẹ, kí o sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ, kí òjò ó má ba à dá ọ dúró.’”
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.
Ó sì ṣe, nígbà díẹ̀ sí i, ọ̀run sì ṣú fún àwọsánmọ̀, ìjì sì dìde, òjò púpọ̀ sì rọ̀, Ahabu sì gun kẹ̀kẹ́ lọ sí Jesreeli.
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.
Agbára Olúwa sì ń bẹ lára Elijah; ó sì di àmùrè ẹ̀gbẹ́ rẹ, ó sì sáré níwájú Ahabu títí dé Jesreeli.
