1 Mpanjaka 19
1 Dia nolazain’ i Ahaba tamin’ i Jezebela izay rehetra nataon’ i Elia, dia ny namonoany ny mpaminany rehetra tamin’ ny sabatra.
Now Ahab tolde Iezebel all that Eliiah had done, and how he had slaine all the prophets with the sword.
2 Ary Jezebela naniraka olona tany amin’ i Elia hanao hoe: Hataon’ ireo andriamanitra amiko anie izany, eny, mihoatra noho izany aza, raha tsy hataoko toy ny ain’ ny anankiray amin’ ireny ny ainao raha maraina toy izao.
Then Iezebel sent a messenger vnto Eliiah, saying, The gods doe so to me and more also, if I make not thy life like one of their liues by to morowe this time.
3 Ary raha nahita izany izy, dia niainga ka lasa nandeha hamonjy ny ainy dia nankany Beri-sheba, izay any Joda, ary ny zatovo najanony tao.
When he sawe that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which is in Iudah, and left his seruant there.
4 Fa izy kosa nandeha lalana indray andro tany an-efitra, ary tonga ka nipetraka teo ambanin’ ny anjavidy anankiray; dia nangataka ho faty izy ka nanao hoe: Aoka izay! alao ny aiko ankehitriny, Jehovah ô, fa tsy tsara noho ny razako aho.
But he went a dayes iourney into the wildernesse, and came and sate downe vnder a iuniper tree, and desired that he might die, and sayde, It is now ynough: O Lord, take my soule, for I am no better then my fathers.
5 Ary raha nandry natory teo ambanin’ ny anjavidy anankiray izy, indro, nisy anjely nanohina azy ka nanao taminy hoe. Miarena, ka homàna.
And as he lay and slept vnder the iuniper tree, behold now, an Angel touched him, and said vnto him, Vp, and eate.
6 Dia nijery izy, ka, indro, teo anilan’ ny lohany nisy mofo voaendy tamin’ ny vato mahamay sy rano iray tavoara; ary nihinana sy nisotro izy, dia nandry indray.
And when he looked about, behold, there was a cake baken on the coles, and a pot of water at his head: so he did eate and drinke, and returned and slept.
7 Ary avy fanindroany indray Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah, dia nanohina azy ka nanao hoe: Mitohaza, ka homàna, fa lavitra loatra ny halehanao.
And the Angel of the Lord came againe the second time, and touched him, and sayd, Vp, and eate: for thou hast a great iourney.
8 Dia nifoha izy ka nihinana sy nisotro; ary nandeha tamin’ ny tanjaka azony tamin’ izany hanina izany efa-polo andro efa-polo alina izy ho any Horeba, tendrombohitr’ Andriamanitra.
Then he arose, and did eate and drinke, and walked in the strength of that meate fourtie dayes and fourtie nights, vnto Horeb the mount of God.
9 Ary niditra tao anatin’ ny zohy izy ka nitoetra tao. Ary, indro, tonga taminy ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe: Manao inona atỳ ianao, ry Elia?
And there he entred into a caue, and lodged there: and beholde, the Lord spake to him, and said vnto him, What doest thou here, Eliiah?
10 Dia hoy izy: Nafana dia nafana ny foko noho ny fitiavako an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro; fa ny Zanak’ Isiraely nahafoy ny fanekenao; ny alitaranao noravany, ny mpaminaninao novonoiny tamin’ ny sabatra, ary izaho dia izaho irery ihany no sisa, nefa mbola mitady hahafaty ny aiko koa izy.
And he answered, I haue bene very ielous for the Lord God of hostes: for the children of Israel haue forsaken thy couenant, broken downe thine altars, and slayne thy Prophets with the sword, and I onely am left, and they seeke my life to take it away.
11 Ary hoy Jehovah: Mivoaha, ka mitsangana eo ambonin’ ny tendrombohitra eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah. Ary, indro, nandalo Jehovah, ka nisy rivotra be sady mahery namakivaky ny tendrombohitra sy nanorotoro ny harambato teo alohan’ i Jehovah; nefa Jehovah tsy tao amin’ ny rivotra; ary manarakaraka ny rivotra nisy horohoron-tany; nefa Jehovah tsy tao amin’ ny horohoron-tany;
And he saide, Come out, and stand vpon the mount before the Lord. And beholde, the Lord went by, and a mightie strong winde rent the mountaines, and brake the rockes before the Lord: but the Lord was not in the winde: and after the wind came an earthquake: but the Lord was not in the earthquake:
12 ary manarakaraka ny horohorontany nisy afo; nefa Jehovah tsy tao amin’ ny afo; ary manarakaraka ny afo nisy feo nitsoka malemy.
And after the earthquake came fire: but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire came a still and soft voyce.
13 Ary raha ren’ i Elia izany, dia nosaronany ny kapôtiny ny tavany, ary nivoaka izy ka nijanona teo am-bava-zohy. Ary, indro, nisy feo nankao aminy nanao hoe: Manao inona atỳ ianao ry Elia?
And when Eliiah heard it, he couered his face with his mantel, and went out, and stoode in the entring in of ye caue: and behold, there came a voyce vnto him, and sayd, What doest thou here, Eliiah?
14 Dia hoy izy: Nafana dia nafana ny foko noho ny fitiavako an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro; fa ny Zanak’ Isiraely efa nahafoy ny fanekenao; ny alitaranao noravany, ary ny mpaminaninao novonoiny tamin’ ny sabatra, ary izaho dia izaho irery ihany no sisa, nefa mbola mitady hahafaty ny aiko koa izy.
And he answered, I haue bene very ielous for the Lord God of hostes, because the children of Israel haue forsaken thy couenant, cast downe thine altars, and slayne thy Prophets with the sworde, and I onely am left, and they seeke my life to take it away.
15 Fa hoy Jehovah taminy: Mandehana, miverena amin’ ny nalehanao ho any amin’ ny efitr’ i Damaskosy; ary raha mby any ianao, dia hosory Hazaela ho mpanjakan’ i Syria;
And the Lord said vnto him, Goe, returne by the wildernes vnto Damascus, and when thou commest there, anoint Hazael King ouer Aram.
16 Ary Jeho, zanak’ i Nimsy, dia hosory ho mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely; ary Elisa, zanak’ i Safata, avy any Abela-mehola, dia hosory ho mpaminany handimby anao.
And Iehu the sonne of Nimshi shalt thou anoynt King ouer Israel: and Elisha the sonne of Shaphat of Abel Meholah shalt thou anoynt to be Prophet in thy roume.
17 Ary izay afa-mandositra ny sabatr’ i Hazaela dia hovonoin’ i Jeho; ary izay afa-mandositra ny sabatr’ i Jeho kosa dia hovonoin’ i Elisa.
And him that escapeth from the sworde of Hazael, shall Iehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Iehu, shall Elisha slay.
18 Nefa hamela fito arivo ao amin’ ny Isiraely Aho, dia ny lohalika rehetra izay tsy nandohalika tamin’ i Bala sy ny vava rehetra izay tsy nanoroka azy.
Yet wil I leaue seuen thousand in Israel, euen all the knees that haue not bowed vnto Baal, and euery mouth that hath not kissed him.
19 Ary niala teo Elia ka nahita an’ i Elisa, zanak’ i Safata, izay nampiasa omby efatra amby roa-polo mikambana tsiroaroa avy, fa izy teo amin’ ny roa farany indrindra; ary Elia nandroso nanatona azy, dia nanipy ny kapôtiny hanarona azy.
So he departed thence, and found Elisha the sonne of Shaphat who was plowing with twelue yoke of oxen before him, and was with the twelft: and Eliiah went towards him, and cast his mantel vpon him.
20 Dia nandao ny omby izy ka nihazakazaka nanaraka an’ i Elia ary niteny hoe: Masìna ianao, avelao aho aloha hanoroka an’ ikaky sy ineny vao manaraka anao. Ary hoy izy taminy: Mandehana miverina, fa naninona anao moa aho?
And he left the oxen, and ran after Eliiah, and sayde, Let mee, I pray thee, kisse my father and my mother, and then I wil follow thee. Who answered him, Go, returne: for what haue I done to thee?
21 Dia niverina niala taminy indray izy ka naka ny omby roa mikambana, dia namono azy, ary nandrahoiny tamin’ ny hazo fiasàn’ ny omby ny henany ka nomeny ny olona, dia nihinana ireo; ary niainga izy ka nanaraka an’ i Elia, dia nanompo azy.
And when he went backe againe from him, he tooke a couple of oxen, and slewe them, and sod their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gaue vnto the people, and they did eate: then he arose and went after Eliiah, and ministred vnto him.
