1And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
1 Ahab ci Yezabel se hay kulu kaŋ Iliya te, da mate kaŋ cine no a na annabey kulu wi da takuba.
2Then 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 to morrow about this time.
2 Saaya din binde Yezabel na diya donton Iliya gaa ka ne: «Iri de-koyey m'ay laali d'ay mana ni fundo ciya sanda i ra afo wane cine hala suba mãsancine.»
3And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there.
3 Kala Iliya humburu ka tun ka zuru nga fundo se. A kaa Beyer-Seba, Yahuda laabo ra, ka nga zanka naŋ noodin.
4But 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.
4 Amma nga bumbo din bisa ka zaari fo diraw te saajo ra. A kaa ka goro yunifer tuuri-nya fo cire. A ŋwaaray nga boŋ se nga ma bu ka ne: «A wasa. Sohõ, ya Rabbi, m'ay fundo ta, zama ay mana bisa ay kaayey booriyaŋ bo.»
5And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.
5 A kani ka jirbi yunifer tuuri-nyaŋo cire. Malayka fo mo n'a ham ka ne a se: «Tun ka ŋwa.»
6And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again.
6 Kala a guna ka di maasa kaŋ i ton tondi dungo yaŋ boŋ da hari zollo go nga boŋo do haray. A ŋwa ka haŋ, a ye ka kani.
7And 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.
7 Rabbi malayka ye ka kaa sorro hinkante k'a ham. A ne: «Tun ka ŋwa, zama dirawo bisa ni gaabo.»
8And 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.
8 A tun ka ŋwa ka haŋ. }waaro din gaabi no a dira nd'a zaari waytaaci da cin waytaaci, kal a kaa Horeb, Irikoy tondo do.
9And 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?
9 A zumbu noodin tondi guusu fo ra. Kala Rabbi sanno kaa a do ka ne a se: «Ya nin Iliya, ifo no ni goono ga te ne?»
10And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD 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.
10 A ne: «Ay na canse te gumo Rabbi Irikoy Kundeykoyo se, zama Israyla izey na ni sappa furu, i na ni sargay feemey zeeri, i na ni annabey mo wi da takuba. Ay mo, ay hinne no ka cindi. I goono g'ay fundo mo ceeci, ngey m'a kaa.»
11And 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:
11 Rabbi ne a se: «Fatta ka kay tondo boŋ Rabbi jine.» Kala Rabbi go, a bisa! Haw gaabikooni beeri fo mo na tondey kortu-kortu ka tondi daarey bagu-bagu Rabbi jine, amma Rabbi si hawo ra. Hawo banda koyne, kala laabu zinjiyaŋ te, amma Rabbi si laabu zinjiyaŋo ra.
12And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
12 Laabu zinjiyaŋo banda koyne, kala danji, amma Rabbi si danjo ra. Danjo banda kala jinde baana-baano kaŋ sinda gaabi.
13And 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?
13 Waato kaŋ Iliya maa woodin binde, kal a na nga moyduma daabu da nga daabiro. A fatta ka kay guuso meyo gaa. Kala jinde fo mo go kaŋ kaa a do ka ne a se: «Iliya, ifo no ni goono ga te neewo?»
14And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because 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.
14 A ne: «Ay na canse te gumo Rabbi Irikoy Kundeykoyo se, zama Israyla izey na ni sappa furu, i na ni sargay feemey zeeri, i na ni annabey mo wi da takuba. Ay mo, ay hinne no ka cindi. I goono g'ay fundo mo ceeci, ngey m'a kaa.»
15And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria:
15 Kala Rabbi ne a se: «Ma ye ka ye ni ce banda ka koy hala Damaskos saajo ra. Da ni to noodin, ni ma ji soogu Hazayel boŋ a ma ciya Suriya bonkooni.
16And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.
16 Nimsi izo Yehu mo, ni ga ji soogu a boŋo gaa a ma ciya Israyla bonkooni. Safat izo Iliyasu mo, Abel-Mehola kwaara boro, nga mo ni ga ji soogu a boŋ a ma ciya annabi ni nango ra.
17And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.
17 A ga ciya mo boro kulu kaŋ na Hazayel takuba yana, Yehu g'a wi. Nga kaŋ na Yehu takuba yana mo, Iliyasu g'a wi.
18Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.
18 Kulu nda yaadin, ay na alboro zambar iyye cindi ay boŋ se Israyla ra, kangey kulu kaŋ yaŋ mana sombu ka sududu Baal se, da meyey kulu kaŋ yaŋ man'a sunsum mo.»
19So 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 by him, and cast his mantle upon him.
19 A binde tun noodin ka koy ka Safat izo Iliyasu gar, A goono ga far da haw hinka-hinka hala iway cindi hinka nga jine. A go mo iway cindi hinkanta banda. Iliya mo bisa ka koy kal a do haray, ka nga daabiro catu a boŋ.
20And 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?
20 Iliyasu mo na hawey naŋ ka zuru ka Iliya gana. A ne: «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma naŋ ay m'ay baabo d'ay nyaŋo garbey sunsum jina, gaa no ay ma kaa ka ni gana.» Iliya ne a se: «Kala ni ma bare ka ye, zama ifo no ay te ni se?»
21And he returned back from him, and took a 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.
21 Kal a bare ka fay d'a ganayaŋ. A na haw hinka sambu k'i dumbu-dumbu. A n'i hina da hawey jinayey bundey ka no jama se hal i ŋwa. Gaa no a tun ka Iliya gana ka te a se zanka.
