1And it came to pass after many days, that the word of Jehovah came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself to Ahab; and I will send rain upon the face of the earth.
1Huan, ni sawt kuam tak nungin hichi ahia, a kum thum kum in Toupa thu Elija kiangah a hongtunga, Va kuan inla, Ahab kiangah va kihil in; huchiin leitungah vuah ka hon zusak sin, chiin.
2And Elijah went to shew himself to Ahab. And the famine was severe in Samaria.
2Huan, Elija Ahab kianga kihil dingin a kuanta a. Samari gamah kial a na mahmah mai hi.
3And Ahab called Obadiah, who was the steward of his house (now Obadiah feared Jehovah greatly;
3Huan, Ahab in Obadia, a in sunglam heutu a sama. (Obadia bel Toupa laudan siam mi tak ahi a;
4and it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of Jehovah, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and maintained them with bread and water);
4Hichi ahia, Jezebel in Toupa jawlnei te a heuh a heuh laiin Obadia in jawlnei ja a pi a, kokhuk ah sawmnga nga in a sel a, tanghou leh tuiin a vak jel hi)
5and Ahab said to Obadiah, Go through the land, to all the fountains of water and to all the torrents, perhaps we may find grass to save the horses and the mules alive, so that we may not have to destroy some of [our] beasts.
5Huan, Ahab in Obadia kiangah, tui naknei tengteng leh luiguam tengteng omna lam gam va tuan vialvial dih ve; sakol leh sabengtung te I hut hing theih na dingin loupa te I muhsak thei kha hiam, huchilou in jaw gante I tan vek kha ding uh, achia.
6And they divided the land between them to pass through it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
6Huchiin gam tot suak ding a kihawm ua: Ahab pen amah kia in lampi dangah a paia, huan, Obadia pen amah kia in lampidangah a pai hi.
7And as Obadiah was on the way, behold, Elijah met him; and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Is it indeed thou, my lord Elijah?
7Huan, huchia Obadia a pai laiin, ngaiin, Elija toh a kituak ua: huan, aman amah a thei laia, huchiin a khupboh a, nang na hi maw, ka pu Elija? Achia.
8And he said to him, I [am he]: go, say to thy lord, Behold Elijah!
8Huan, aman a dawnga, hi e, kuan inla, ngaiin, Elija huaiah a om hi, chiin na pu va hilh in, achia.
9And he said, What have I sinned, that thou givest thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to put me to death?
9Huan, aman, thil bang ahia ka hihkhelh a, na sikha thah dinga Ahab khuta piak na ut mawk?
10As Jehovah thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom whither my lord has not sent to seek thee; and when they said, He is not [here], he took an oath of the kingdom or nation that they found thee not.
10Toupa na Pathian hinna louin ka gen hi, ka puin nang honzonsak louhna nam leh gam himhim neilou eive: Hiai ah a omkei, a chih chiang un nang a honmuh louhna thu uah gam leh nam pen a kichiam sak jel hi.
11And now thou sayest, Go, say to thy lord, Behold Elijah!
11Tuin nang, kuan inla, ngaiin, Elija huaiah a om hi, chiin na pu va hilh in, na chi mawka.
12And it shall come to pass when I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of Jehovah shall carry thee whither I know not; and when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he will kill me; and I thy servant fear Jehovah from my youth.
12Hichi ahi dinga, nang ka hon nutsiat takin Toupa kha in ka theih louhna ah nang a hongla mang dinga; huchiin Ahab kava hilh a, nang a hon muh theih ngal ken jaw kei a hon that mai ding hi: himahleh na sikha in ka valnou tunga kipan Toupa laudan siam sek ka hi ngala.
13Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid a hundred men of Jehovah's prophets by fifty in a cave, and maintained them with bread and water?
13Jezebel in Toupa jawlnei te a thah laia ka thilhih, Toupa jawlnei te laka mi ja, sawmnga nga a kokhuk a, tanghou leh tuia ka vak dan te ka tapa hon hilhlou uhia?
14And now thou sayest, Go, say to thy lord, Behold Elijah! and he will kill me.
14Tuin nang, kuan inla, ngaiin, Elija huaiah a om hi, chiin na pu va hilhin na chi mawk a: a honthat mahmah ding achia.
15And Elijah said, As Jehovah of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will certainly shew myself to him to-day.
15Huan, Elija in, a kianga ka om sekna sepaih te Toupa hinna lou in ka gen hi, tuni in a kiangah ka kihil ngeingei ding hi, achia.
16Then Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him. And Ahab went to meet Elijah.
16Huchiin Obadia Ahab houpih dingin a kuana, ava hilh ta a: Huan Ahab Elija muh tumin a kuanta hi.
17And it came to pass when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, Is it thou, the troubler of Israel?
17Huan. Hichi ahia, Ahab in Elija ava muhin Ahab in a kiangah, nang na hi maw, Israel te lunghimoh sakpa? achia.
18And he said, I have not troubled Israel, but thou and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of Jehovah, and thou hast followed the Baals.
18Huan, aman a dawnga, Israel te ka lunghimoh sak kei hi; nang leh na pa inkote eive lunghimoh sak jaw, Toupa thupiak te lehngat sana, Baal na pom jawk na ah.
19And now send, gather to me all Israel to mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the Asherah four hundred, who eat at Jezebel's table.
19Huchiin tuin Israel te tengteng leh Baal jawlnei za li leh sawmnga leh, Asehr jawlnei, Jezebel dohkan a ankuang um jeljel na li te ka kiangah karmel tangah vasam khawmsak in achia.
20So Ahab sent to all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.
20Huchiin Ahab in Israel suante tengteng kiangah mi a sawla, jawlnei te karmel tangah a sam khawma.
21Then Elijah drew near to all the people, and said, How long do ye halt between two opinions? if Jehovah be God, follow him; and if Baal, follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
21Huan, Elija in mipi te tengteng a vanaih a, vang laka bangtan om sin na hia ua? Toupa pen Pathian ahihleh, amah jui unla; huan, Baal ahihleh, amah jui un, achia. Mipiten kam khat in leng a sawng kei uh.
22And Elijah said to the people, I, only I, remain a prophet of Jehovah; and Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
22Huchiin, Elija in mipite kiangah, Toupa jawlnei om sun kei kia ka hia; Baal jawlnei te bel mi za li leh sawmnga ahi uh.
23Let them therefore give us two bullocks: and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and put it on the wood, and put no fire; and I will sacrifice the other bullock, and put it on the wood, and put no fire.
23Huchiin bangtal nih hong pia u henla; amauten bangtal khat amau tuam dingin tel u henla, sem hen u henla, sing tungah koih u henla, a nuaiah mei toh louin: huan, ken leng bawngtal khat ka bawl sam dinga, sing tungah ka koih dinga mei ka toh sam kei ding hi.
24And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of Jehovah; and the god that answers by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, The word is good.
24Huan, nou na Pathian min uh lou unla, ken leng Toupa min ka lou ding: huchiin meia hondawng Pathian pen Pathian hi hen, achia. Huan, mi tengteng in a dawng ua, a dik hi, achi uh.
25And Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, Choose one bullock for yourselves, and sacrifice it first; for ye are the many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire.
25Huchiin Elija in Baal jawlnei te kiangah, nou bawngtal khat na tuam ding un tel unla, bawl masa un; nou na tam deuh ua; huan, na Pathian min uh lou unla, Ahihhangin a nuaiah mei toh kei un, achia.
26And they took the bullock which had been given them, and sacrificed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, O Baal, answer us! But there was no voice, and none answered. And they leaped about the altar that had been made.
26Huan, bawngtal a tan pen uh a la ua, a bawl ua, Baal aw, hondawng in, chiin jingsang akipan sun tanin Baal min a lou ua, himahleh aw peuhmah a om kei a, dawngtu himhim leng a om sam kei.
27And it came to pass at noon that Elijah mocked them and said, Cry aloud; for he is a god; for he is meditating, or gone aside, or he is on a journey; perhaps he sleeps, and will awake.
27Huan, a maitam bawl kim uah a tawmtawm mai mah ua. Huan, sunlaiin hichi ahia, Elija in amau enghou in, kikou ngaih set ve ua: Pathian ahi ngala; a kingaihtuah tadih hiam, a bu tadih jual hiam, ava om mang jual hiam, ahihkeileh a ihmu zenzen a, khanloh sak ding hiam ahia hiin teh, achia.
28And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with swords and spears, till the blood gushed out upon them.
28Huan, a ngaih a ngaih in a kikou ua, a hih sek bang dan un temta leh teipi khawng in si pawt zungzung zou in a kivut ua.
29And it came to pass when midday was past, that they prophesied until the [time] of the offering up of the oblation; but there was neither voice, nor any that answered, nor any attention.
29Huan, ni a hong kihekin hichi ahia, nitaklam kithoih hun tanin la a sa ua; himahleh aw himhim a om kei a, dawngtu himhim hiam ana limsaktu himhim leng a om sam kei.
30Then Elijah said to all the people, Draw near to me. And all the people drew near to him. And he repaired the altar of Jehovah which was broken down.
30Huchiin Elija in mipi tengteng kiangah, hongnai dih ua, achia; huan, mipite tengteng in a naih ua.
31And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of Jehovah came saying, Israel shall be thy name;
31Huan, Toupa maitam chipsaksa a bawl pha a. Huan, na min Israel ahi ding, chia toupa thu na mupa Jakob tate nam zah suang sawm leh nih Elija in a la a,
32and with the stones he built an altar in the name of Jehovah, and made a trench round about the altar, of the capacity of two measures of seed;
32Huan, suangte in maitam Toupa min in a bawla; huan, maitam kim buhchi tehna nih ta takin a tou kuak a.
33and he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it on the wood. And he said, Fill four pitchers with water, and pour it on the burnt-offering, and on the wood.
33Huan, sing a koih hoih sisip a, bawngtal a sem nena, sing tungah a koih a. Huan, bel li tui in dim sak unla, halmang thillat leh sing buak un, achia.
34And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.
34Huan, buak nawn un achia; a buak nawn uh. Huan, buak nawn un, achia; a buah behlap nawn ua.
35And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.
35Huan, tui maitam kimah a luang juajua hi; huan, toh kuak tuiin a dimsak lai hi.
36And it came to pass at [the time of] the offering up of the oblation, that Elijah the prophet drew near, and said, Jehovah, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things by thy word.
36Huan, nitaklam kithoih hun laiin hichi ahia, jawlnei Elija in ava naiha, Toupa aw, Abraham te, Isaak te, Israel te Pathian, nang Israel gama Pathian na hihleh, kei na sikha ka hih, hiaite tengteng nang thua ka hih tuni in theichiat uhen.
37Answer me, Jehovah, answer me, that this people may know that thou Jehovah art God, and [that] *thou* hast turned their heart back again.
37Honna ngaihkhiak sak inla, hiai mipiten nang Toupa Pathian na hi a, a lungtang te uh na kileh heisak nawnta ahi chih ana theihtheih na ding un Toupa aw, honna ngaihkhiak sakin, achia.
38And the fire of Jehovah fell, and consumed the burnt-offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
38Huchiin, Toupa mei a hong kia a, halmang thillat te, sing te suang te, leivui te a kang manga, tohkuak a tui a hip kang khin vek hi.
39And all the people saw [it], and they fell on their faces and said, Jehovah, he is God! Jehovah, he is God!
39Huan, mipite tengteng in huai a muh un a khupboh ua, Toupa ana hi hi, Pathian tak, Toupa ana hi hi, Pathian tak, achi uh.
40And Elijah said to them, Seize the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape! And they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the torrent of Kishon, and slaughtered them there.
40Huan, Elija in a kianguah, Baal jawlnei te man unla, khat leng khah kei uh, achia. Huan, aman ua, Elija in Kishon lui ah a pi suk a, huaiah amaute a that a.
41And Elijah said to Ahab, Go up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.
41Huchiin, Elija in Ahab kiangah, va pai tou inla, ne in vata tain; vuahpi zu ding husa om ahi, achia.
42And Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed down on the earth, and put his face between his knees.
42Huchiin, Ahab bel ne leh ta ding in a pai touta hi. Huan, Elija bel Karmel tang vum lamah a pai toua; huan, lei lamah a kun a, a pheibup kalah a mai a guang.
43And he said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up and looked, and said, [There is] nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.
43Huan, a sikha kiangah, va paitou inla, tuipi lam va en dih ve achia. Huan, a paitou a, ava en a; bangmah a omkei, achia. Huan, aman, kuan nawn inla, sagihvei, achia.
44And it came to pass at the seventh time that he said, Behold there is a cloud, small as a man's hand, arising out of the sea. And he said, Go up, say to Ahab, Harness and go down, that the pour of rain stop thee not.
44Huan, a sagihvei na in, hichi ahia, ngai in, tuipi a kipan in mihing khut chia lel mei a leng tou viaiviai, achia. Huan, aman, va pai inla, Ahab kiangah, na kangtalai bawl inla, pai suk ta in, vuah in a honkhum kha ding, chiin, achia.
45And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heavens became black [with] clouds and wind, and there was a great pour of rain. And Ahab got on the chariot, and went to Jizreel.
45Huan, sawtlou nungin hichi ahia, van huih leh mei in a dup keihkuih a, vuahpi petmah a hongzu ta hi. Huan, Ahab kangtalai a tuangin Jezreel khua ah a paita hi.Huan, Toupa khut Elija tungah a oma; huchiin a puan a tenga Ahab maah Jezreel kho lutna tan a taita hi.
46And the hand of Jehovah was upon Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jizreel.
46Huan, Toupa khut Elija tungah a oma; huchiin a puan a tenga Ahab maah Jezreel kho lutna tan a taita hi.
