¹And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and in detail how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.

¹[Ny nandosiran'i Elia nankany an-efitra, sy ny nisehoan'Andriamanitra taminy tao Horeba, ary ny nanendrena an'i Elisa handimby azy] Dia nolazain'i Ahaba tamin'i Jezebela izay rehetra nataon'i Elia, dia ny namonoany ny mpaminany rehetra tamin'ny sabatra.

²And Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah saying, So do the gods [to me], and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to-morrow about this time!

²Ary 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.

³And when he saw [that], he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.

³Ary raha nahita izany izy, dia niainga ka lasa nandeha hamonjy ny ainy dia nankany Beri-sheba, izay any Joda, ary ny zatovo najanony tao.

⁴And he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a certain broom-bush, and requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough: now, Jehovah, take my life; for I am not better than my fathers.

⁴Fa 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.[Heb. rotema; zava-maniry mifanahatahaka amin'ny kifafam-bohitra]

⁵And he lay down and slept under the broom-bush. And behold, an angel touched him, and said to him, Arise, eat!

⁵Ary raha nandry natory teo ambanin'ny anjavidy anankiray izy, indro, nisy anjely nanohina azy ka nanao taminy hoe. Miarena, ka homàna. [Heb. rotema; zava-maniry mifanahatahaka amin'ny kifafam-bohitra]

⁶And he looked, and behold, at his head was a cake, baked on hot stones, and a cruse of water. And he ate and drank, and lay down again.

⁶Dia 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.

⁷And the angel of Jehovah came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise, eat; for the journey is too great for thee.

⁷Ary avy fanindroany indray Ilay Anjelin'i Jehovah, dia nanohina azy ka nanao hoe: Mitohaza, ka homàna, fa lavitra loatra ny halehanao.

⁸And he arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of God.

⁸Dia 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.

⁹And there he went into a cave, and lodged there. And behold, the word of Jehovah [came] to him, and he said to him, What doest thou here, Elijah?

⁹Ary 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?

¹⁰And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah 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 am left, I alone, and they seek my life, to take it away.

¹⁰Dia 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.

¹¹And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before Jehovah. And behold, Jehovah passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before Jehovah: Jehovah was not in the wind. And after the wind, an earthquake: Jehovah was not in the earthquake.

¹¹Ary 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': Jehovah; nefa Jehovah tsy tao amin'ny rivotra; ary manarakaraka ny rivotra nisy horohoron-tany; nefa Jehovah tsy tao amin'ny horohoron-tany;

¹²And after the earthquake, a fire: Jehovah was not in the fire. And after the fire, a soft gentle voice.

¹²ary manarakaraka ny horohorontany nisy afo; nefa Jehovah tsy tao amin'ny afo; ary manarakaraka ny afo nisy feo nitsoka malemy.

¹³And it came to pass, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. And behold, a voice [came] to him and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?

¹³Ary 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 ?

¹⁴And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah 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 am left, I alone, and they seek my life, to take it away.

¹⁴Dia 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.

¹⁵And Jehovah said to him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus; and when thou comest, anoint Hazael king over Syria;

¹⁵Fa 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;

¹⁶and Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint king over Israel; and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shalt thou anoint prophet in thy stead.

¹⁶Ary 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.

¹⁷And it shall come to pass, [that] him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay; and him that escapeth the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.

¹⁷Ary izay afa-mandositra ny sabatr'i Hazaela dia hovonoin'i Jeho; ary izay afa-mandositra ny sabatr'i Jeho kosa dia hovonoin'i Elisa.

¹⁸Yet I have left [myself] seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth that hath not kissed him.

¹⁸Nefa 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.

¹⁹And he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was ploughing [with] twelve yokes before him, and he with the twelfth; and Elijah went over to him, and cast his mantle on him.

¹⁹Ary 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.

²⁰And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and I will follow thee. And he said to him, Go back again; for what have I done to thee?

²⁰Dia 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?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.[Na: natonony]

²¹And he returned back from him, and took the yoke of oxen, and killed them, and boiled their flesh with the implements of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate. And he arose and went after Elijah, and ministered to him.

²¹Dia 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.[Na: natonony]
