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

¹Huan, Ahab in Elija thilhih tengteng, namsau a jawlnei tengteng a thah thute toh Jezebel a hilh a.

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!

²Huchiin Elija kiangah, huai mite laka mi khat hinna bangin jingchianga hichi hun ma a na hinna ka hon bawlsak sam kei leh Pathian ten a lohloh uh honloh mai u henla, huai sanga thupi jaw inleng, chiin mi a sawla.

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.

³Huchiin a laua, a thou a, a tai a, Juda gama Beer-seba khua a vatunga, huaiah a sikha a nusia hi.

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.

⁴Amah bel gamdai ah ni khat a phak ah a hoh a, juniper sing nuaiah a tu a; huan, sih a ngenta hi, hun ta hi; Toupa aw, tuin ka hinna la maiin, ka pute sang inlah ka hoih tuan ngal keia, achia.

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

⁵Huchiin juniper sing nuaiah a luma, a ihmuta hi; huan, ngaiin, angel in a hongkhoih a, akiangah, thou inla ne in, achia.

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.

⁶Huan, a en vialviala, ngaiin, a lu chinah tanghou pei, suang sa a hai minsa leh, tuithawl ana om a. Huchiin a ne a, a dawn a, a lum nawn hi.

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.

⁷Huan, Toupa angel a hongpai kik nawn a, a hong khoiha, thou inla, ne in, na paina ding nanga din a thupi lua hi, achia.

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.

⁸Huan, a thou a, a nein a dawn a, huchiin ann jiak in Pathian tang Horeb tan ni sawm li leh jan sawm li a pai a.

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?

⁹Huan, huai a kokhuk khat ava tunga, huaiah a omta a; huan, ngaiin, Toupa thu a kiangah a hongtunga, a kiangah, hiaiah bang na hih a, Elija? Achia.

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.

¹⁰Aman, Toupa, sepaih te Pathian a dingin phatuam kangai mahmah jela, Israel suanten lah na thukhun a leh ngatsan ua, na maitam te a chimsak ua, na jawlnei te namsau in a satlum ngal ua; a omlai lah kei kia ka hia, ka hinna honlak sak a tum uh hi, achia.

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.

¹¹Huan, aman, va pawtkhia inla, hua tangah Toupa maah va dingin, achia. Huan, ngaiin, Toupa a hongpai a, huihpi hat mahmah in tangte Toupa maah amut khanga, suangpi a kitam phiakphuak ua; himahleh huaiah Toupa a om kei: huan, huih nun khitin jin a hongling a; himahleh jinling ah Toupa a om kei;

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

¹²Huan, jinlin khitin mei a hongpawt a; himahleh nei ah Toupa a om kei; huan, mei nung in aw ngat ngeingei a hong pawt.

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?

¹³Huan, hichi ahia, Elija in huai a jakin a puanin a mai a khuh a, ava pawtkhia a, kokhuk kongpi ah ava ding a. Huan, ngaiin, aw in a kiangah, hiaiah bang na hih Elija? A hongchi a.

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.

¹⁴Huan, aman, Toupa, sepaihte Pathian a dingin phatuam ka nei mahmah jela, Israel suante lah na thukhun a lehngatsan ua, na maitam te a chimsak ua, na jawlnei te namsau in a satlum ngal ua; a omlai kei ka hia, ka hinna honlak sak a tum uh, achia.

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

¹⁵Huan, Toupa a kiangah, Pai nawnta inla, gamdai lamah Damaska khua ah paiin: na tun chiangin Suria kumpipa dingin Hazael sathau na nilh dinga;

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.

¹⁶Huan, Israel kumpipa dingin Nimsi tapa Jehu sathau na nilh ding; huan, na sika jawlnei hi dingin Abelmehol khua a mi Saphat tapa Elisa leng sathau na nilh ding.

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.

¹⁷Huan, hichi ahi dinga, Hazael namsau pel peuhmah Jehu in a that dinga; huan, Jehu namsau pel peuhmah Elisa in a that ding.

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.

¹⁸Himahleh Israel gamah Baal ma a khukdin ngei nailou leh, tawp ngei nailou mi sangsagih kei a din ka hum ding hi, achia.

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.

¹⁹Huchiin huai a kipan a pawtkhia a, Saphat tapa Elisa ava mukhia a, aman lei ana leta, a maah bawng tuak sawm leh nih a om a, a sawm leh nihna amah mah in ana hawla; huan, Elija in ava naih a, a puan a liangbat saka.

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?

²⁰Huan, bawng te a paisan a, Elija a delh a, ka nu leh ka pa kava tawp tadih phot ding, huchiin ka honjui ding, achia. Huan, aman a kiangah, va pai nawn lechin ake, bang kon chih a eita? Achia.Huan, amah jui lai a kika, bawng tuak khat a hawl a gou a, asa bawng vante in a huan a, a mite a hawm a, a ne uh. Huchiin a thou a, Elija a delh a, ana a sepsak ta hi.

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.

²¹Huan, amah jui lai a kika, bawng tuak khat a hawl a gou a, asa bawng vante in a huan a, a mite a hawm a, a ne uh. Huchiin a thou a, Elija a delh a, ana a sepsak ta hi.
