¹And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.

¹ Hayey din banda Nabot Yezreyel bora gonda reyzin* kali Yezreyel ra, Samariya bonkoono Ahab faada jarga.

²And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.

² Kala Ahab salaŋ Nabot se ka ne: «Ay no ni reyzin kalo a ma ciya ay wane foy jiney kali, zama a ga maan ay windo. Ay mo ya ni no kaliyaŋ kaŋ boori ka bisa ni wano wo, wala mo da ni ga ba, ay m'a darza bana ni se da nooru.»

³And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.

³ Nabot ne Ahab se: «Rabbi m'ay waa d'ay m'ay kaayey tubo no ni se.»

⁴And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.

⁴ Ahab furo nga fuwo ra da bine tiŋay kaŋ kaani si no, Yezreyel bora Nabot sanno se kaŋ a ci a se, zama a ne: «Ay s'ay baaba tubu kalo no ni se.» Kal a kani nga daaro boŋ ka nga moyduma bare ka wangu ka ŋwa.

⁵But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?

⁵ Amma a wande Yezabel kaa a do ka ne a se: «Ifo se no ni bine sara ya-cine, hala ni si ŋwa?»

⁶And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.

⁶ A ne wando se: «Zama ay salaŋ Yezreyel bora Nabot se ka ne a se: ‹Ma ni reyzin kalo neera ay se. Da manti yaadin mo no, da ni ga ba, ay ga ni no kalo wo banandi.› Amma a tu ka ne ay se: ‹Ay s'ay kalo no ni se!› »

⁷And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.

⁷ Kala a wando Yezabel ne a se: «Sohõ manti nin no goono ga Israyla may bo? Tun ka ŋwa, ni bina ma farhã mo. Ay ga ni no Yezreyel bora Nabot reyzin kalo.»

⁸So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.

⁸ Waybora mo na tirayaŋ hantum Ahab maa boŋ, ka bonkoono kawaatimo kar i gaa ka tirey samba i ma koy arkusey da koy kayney do kaŋ yaŋ ngey da Nabot go care banda kwaara ra.

⁹And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:

⁹ Tirey ra a hantum ka ne: «Wa mehaw fe ka Nabot daŋ jama jine.

¹⁰And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.

¹⁰ I ma boro hinka suuban boro yaamey ra, i ma furo a jine ka seeda a boŋ ka ne: ‹Ni na Irikoy da bonkoono mo kayna.› Gaa no i ma kond'a taray k'a catu-catu nda tondiyaŋ kal a ma bu.»

¹¹And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.

¹¹ Ngey din, a kwaara borey binde, danga arkusey da jine borey kaŋ goono ga goro a kwaara ra, i te sanda mate kaŋ Yezabel donton i se, mate kaŋ cine i hantum tirey ra din boŋ, kaŋ a samba i se.

¹²They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

¹² I na mehaw fe ka Nabot daŋ borey jine.

¹³And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.

¹³ Kala boro hinka din, boro yaamey kaa ka goro a jine. Boro yaamey din binde na seeda no a boŋ, sanda Nabot boŋ nooya, jama jine. I ne: «Ni na Irikoy da bonkoono kulu kayna.» Woodin banda i konda Nabot birno banda taray k'a catu-catu nda tondiyaŋ kal a bu.

¹⁴Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.

¹⁴ Waato din gaa i donton ka ci Yezabel se ka ne: «I na Nabot catu-catu nda tondiyaŋ, a bu mo.»

¹⁵And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.

¹⁵ A ciya binde, waato kaŋ Yezabel maa baaru kaŋ i na Nabot catu-catu nda tondiyaŋ kal a bu, kala Yezabel ne Ahab se: «Tun ka Yezreyel bora Nabot reyzin* kalo kaŋ a wangu ka neera ni se da nooru din tubu, zama Nabot sinda fundi, amma buuko no.»

¹⁶And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.

¹⁶ A ciya binde, waati kaŋ Ahab maa Nabot buuyaŋo baaru, kala Ahab tun zama nga ma zulli ka koy Yezreyel bora Nabot reyzin kalo do, nga m'a ta se.

¹⁷And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

¹⁷ Kala Rabbi sanno kaa Iliya Tisbi bora do ka ne:

¹⁸Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it.

¹⁸ «Tun ka zumbu ka Israyla bonkoono Ahab kubay, nga kaŋ go Samariya da goray. Guna, a go Nabot reyzin kalo ra, naŋ kaŋ a koy zama nga m'a tubo ta.

¹⁹And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.

¹⁹ Ni ma salaŋ a se ka ne: Haŋ kaŋ Rabbi ci neeya: Ni wi ka tubu ŋwa no, wala? Ni ma salaŋ a se koyne ka ne: Haŋ kaŋ Rabbi ci neeya: To, nango kaŋ hansey na Nabot kuro loogu din, hansey ga ni mo kuro loogu noodin, oho, ni bumbo wano.»

²⁰And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.

²⁰ Ahab ne Iliya se: «Ni n'ay kaa taray nooya, ya nin ay ibara?» Iliya tu ka ne: «Ay na ni kaa taray no, zama ni na ni boŋ neera goy laalo teeyaŋ se Rabbi jine.

²¹Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,

²¹ Guna, ay go ga laaliyaŋ candi ka kande ni boŋ. Ay ga ni haabu-haabu parkatak, ay ma ize alboro kulu alandaaba Ahab se, ngey kaŋ yaŋ goono ga daabu da ngey kaŋ yaŋ go taŋante Israyla ra.

²²And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin.

²² Ay ga ni windo ciya mo sanda Yerobowam Nebat izo windo cine, da Ahiya izo Baasa windo cine, zukuyaŋo kaŋ ni n'ay bina zuku nd'a se. Ni na Israyla daŋ i ma zunubi te mo.»

²³And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.

²³ Yezabel ciine ra mo, Rabbi ne: «Hansiyaŋ ga Yezabel ŋwa Yezreyel laabo me gaa.

²⁴Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.

²⁴ Boro kaŋ bu Ahab do haray kwaara ra, hansey g'a ŋwa. Boro kaŋ bu saajo ra mo, beene curey g'a ŋwa.»

²⁵But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.

²⁵ Amma Ahab cine si no kaŋ na nga boŋ neera nga ma goy laalo te Rabbi jine, mate kaŋ a wande Yezabel n'a tuti.

²⁶And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

²⁶ A na fanta goy te mo gumo tooru ganayaŋ ra, hay kulu kaŋ Amorancey ga te boŋ, ngey kaŋ yaŋ Rabbi tuti ka hibandi ka kaa Israyla izey jine.

²⁷And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.

²⁷ A ciya binde, waato kaŋ Ahab maa sanney din, kal a na nga bankaaray tooru-tooru, ka bufu daŋ nga gaahamo gaa, ka fay da ŋwaari, ka kani bufo ra. A soobay ka dira kayna-kayna.

²⁸And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

²⁸ Kala Rabbi sanno kaa Tisbi bora Iliya do ka ne:

²⁹Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.

²⁹ «Ni di mate kaŋ cine Ahab goono ga nga boŋ kaynandi nd'a ya-cine ay jine? Za kaŋ a na nga boŋ kaynandi ay jine, ay si kande masiiba nga din jihaado ra. Kal a izo jihaadi ra no ay ga kande masiiba din a dumo boŋ.»
