1 Kings 19
1 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
Pea naʻe fakahā ʻe ʻEhapi kia Sisipeli ʻae meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe ʻIlaisiā, pea mo ʻene tāmate ʻae kau kikite kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae heletā.
2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.
Pea naʻe toki fekau atu ha talafekau ʻe Sisipeli kia ʻIlaisiā, ke ne pehē, “Ke fai pehē pe kiate au ʻe he ngaahi ʻotua, pea lahi hake foki, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te u fakatatau ʻa hoʻo moʻui ʻaʻau mo e moʻui ʻa ha taha ʻiate kinautolu, ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ni ʻapongipongi.”
3 And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there.
Pea ʻi heʻene mamata ki ai, naʻa ne tuʻu hake, mo ne hola ke ne moʻui, pea ne haʻu ki Peasipa ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Siuta, ʻo ne tuku ʻi ai ʻa ʻene tamaioʻeiki.
4 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.
Ka ka ʻalu pe ia ki he toafa ko e fonongaʻanga ʻoe ʻaho ʻe taha, pea ne haʻu ʻo nofo hifo ʻi he lolo ʻakau ko e sunipa: pea naʻa ne kole maʻana ke ne mate; ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo lahi, ʻE Sihova, toʻo atu eni ʻa ʻeku moʻui: he ʻoku ʻikai te u lelei lahi hake au ʻi heʻeku ngaahi tamai.”
5 And he lay down and slept under a juniper tree; and, behold, an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.
Pea lolotonga ʻa ʻene tokoto ʻo mohe ʻi he lolo ʻakau ko e sunipa, vakai, naʻe toki ala kiate ia ha ʻāngelo, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Tuʻu hake, ʻo kai.”
6 And he looked, and, behold, there was at his head a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again.
Pea naʻa ne sio, pea vakai, ko e foʻi mā naʻe tunu ʻi he funga fefie, pea tuʻu ofi ha ipu vai ki hono ʻolunga. “Pea naʻa ne kai mo inu, pea toe tokoto ia ki lalo.”
7 And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee.
Pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻae ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova ko hono liunga ua, ʻo ala kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “Tuʻu hake ʻo kai; he ʻoku lōloa fau ʻae hala kiate koe.”
8 And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.
Pea naʻa ne tuʻu hake, mo ne kai mo inu, pea naʻa ne ʻalu ʻi he mālohi ʻoe meʻakai ko ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu mo e pō ʻe fāngofulu ki Holepi ko e moʻunga ʻoe ʻOtua.
9 And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?
Pea naʻa ne ʻomi ai ki ha ʻanaʻi maka, ʻo ne nofo ai; pea vakai naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia, pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke fai ʻi heni, ʻIlaisiā?”
10 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword: and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Naʻaku loto feinga ʻaupito koeʻuhi ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi: he kuo liʻaki hoʻo fuakava ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea kuo lī hifo hoʻo ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, pea nau tāmateʻi ʻa hoʻo kau palōfita ʻaki ʻae heletā; pea ko au, ʻio, ko au tokotaha pe ʻoku toe; pea ʻoku nau kumi ʻa ʻeku moʻui, ke toʻo atu ia.”
11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ke ke ʻalu atu, mo ke tuʻu ʻi he funga moʻunga ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova. Pea vakai, naʻe hāʻele atu ʻa Sihova, pea naʻe mafahifahi ʻae moʻunga ʻe he matangi mālohi, pea ne fakamomomomoiiki ʻae ngaahi maka ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; ka naʻe ʻikai ʻi he matangi ʻa Sihova: pea hili ʻae matangi naʻe mofuike; ka naʻe ʻikai ʻi he mofuike ʻa Sihova:
12 and after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
Pea hili ʻae mofuike ko e afi; ka naʻe ʻikai ʻi he afi ʻa Sihova: pea hili ʻae afi naʻe ʻi ai ʻae kihiʻi leʻo mālie.”
13 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
Pea pehē, ʻi heʻene fanongo ki ai ʻa ʻIlaisiā, naʻa ne fakapulou hono mata ʻaki ʻa hono pulupulu, mo ne ʻalu atu ʻo tuʻu ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe ʻana. Pea vakai, ko e leʻo naʻe pehē mai kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke fai ʻi heni ʻIlaisiā?”
14 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Naʻaku loto feinga ʻaupito koeʻuhi ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi: koeʻuhi kuo liʻaki hoʻo fuakava ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea kuo lī hifo hoʻo ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, pea tāmateʻi hoʻo kau palōfita ʻaki ʻae heletā; pea ko au, ʻio, ko au tokotaha pe ʻoku kei toe; pea ʻoku nau kumi ʻa ʻeku moʻui, ke toʻo atu ia.”
15 And the LORD said unto him, Go return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, thou shalt anoint Hazael to be king over Syria:
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, “Ke ke ʻalu, toe foki atu ʻi ho hala ki he toafa ʻo Tamasikusi; pea ʻoka ke ka hoko ange, tākai ʻaki ʻae lolo ʻa Hasaeli ke ne tuʻi ʻi Silia:
16 and Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.
Pea ko Sehu ko e foha ʻo Nimisi te ke tākai ʻaki ʻae lolo ke ne tuʻi ʻi ʻIsileli: pea ko ʻIlaisa ko e foha ʻo Safati mei ʻEpeli-Mihola, te ke tākai ʻaki ʻae lolo ke hoko ko e palōfita ke ne fetongi koe.
17 And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth from the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay;
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ‘Ko ia ia ʻe hao moʻui mei he heletā ʻa Hasaeli ʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻe Sehu: pea ko ia ʻe hao moʻui mei he heletā ʻa Sehu ʻe tāmateʻi ʻe ʻIlaisa.’
18 Yet will I leave [me] seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.
Ka te u tuku ha toko fitu afe ʻapē kuo ʻikai mapelu kia Peali, pea mo e ngutu kotoa pē kuo ʻikai ʻuma kiate ia.”
19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha, the son of Shaphat, who was plowing, with twelve yoke [of oxen] before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed over unto him, and cast his mantle upon him.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ia mei he potu ko ia, mo ne maʻu atu ʻa ʻIlaisa ko e foha ʻo Safati, lolotonga ʻa ʻene keli ngoue ʻaki ʻae tauluaʻi [pulu ]ʻe hongofulu ma ua ʻi hono ʻao, ka naʻe tuʻu ia mo ia ki mui: pea naʻe ʻalu ange ʻa ʻIlaisiā ʻi hono tafaʻaki ʻo ne lī atu ʻa hono pulupulu kiate ia.
20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again; for what have I done to thee?
Pea naʻa ne tukuange ʻae fanga pulu, ka ka lele muimui ʻia ʻIlaisiā, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke u ʻuma ki heʻeku tamai pea mo ʻeku faʻē, pea te u toki muimui kiate koe.” Pea naʻa ne pehēange kiate ia, “Toe foki atu pe: he ko e hā ha meʻa kuo u fai kiate koe?”
21 And he returned from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.
Pea naʻa ne toe foki atu meiate ia, mo ne ʻave ʻae tauluaʻi pulu, mo ne tāmateʻi ia, pea naʻa ne haka hona kakano ʻaki ʻae nāunau ʻoe fanga pulu, pea naʻa ne ʻatu ki he kakai ke nau kai. Pea hili ia naʻa ne tuʻu hake, mo ne muimui kia ʻIlaisiā, ʻo ne tauhi kiate ia.
