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.
1And Ahab declareth to Jezebel all that Elijah did, and all how he slew all the prophets by the sword,
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.
2and Jezebel sendeth a messenger unto Elijah, saying, `Thus doth the gods, and thus do they add, surely about this time to-morrow, I make thy life as the life of one of them.`
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.
3And he feareth, and riseth, and goeth for his life, and cometh in to Beer-Sheba, that [is] Judah`s, and leaveth his young man there,
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]
4and he himself hath gone into the wilderness a day`s Journey, and cometh and sitteth under a certain retem-tree, and desireth his soul to die, and saith, `Enough, now, O Jehovah, take my soul, for I [am] not better than my fathers.`
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]
5And he lieth down and sleepeth under a certain retem-tree, and lo, a messenger cometh against him, and saith to him, `Rise, eat;`
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.
6and he looketh attentively, and lo, at his bolster a cake [baken on] burning stones, and a dish of water, and he eateth, and drinketh, and turneth, and lieth down.
7Ary avy fanindroany indray Ilay Anjelin'i Jehovah, dia nanohina azy ka nanao hoe: Mitohaza, ka homàna, fa lavitra loatra ny halehanao.
7And the messenger of Jehovah turneth back a second time, and cometh against him, and saith, `Rise, eat, for the way is too great for thee;`
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.
8and he riseth, and eateth, and drinketh, and goeth in the power of that food forty days and forty nights, unto the mount of God — Horeb.
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?
9And he cometh in there, unto the cave, and lodgeth there, and lo, the word of Jehovah [is] unto him, and saith to him, `What — to thee, here, Elijah?`
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.
10And he saith, `I have been very zealous for Jehovah, God of Hosts, for the sons of Israel have forsaken Thy covenant — Thine altars they have thrown down, and Thy prophets they have slain by the sword, and I am left, I, by myself, and they seek my life — to take it.`
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;
11And He saith, `Go out, and thou hast stood in the mount before Jehovah.` And lo, Jehovah is passing by, and a wind — great and strong — is rending mountains, and shivering rocks before Jehovah: — not in the wind [is] Jehovah; and after the wind a shaking: — not in the shaking [is] Jehovah;
12ary manarakaraka ny horohorontany nisy afo; nefa Jehovah tsy tao amin'ny afo; ary manarakaraka ny afo nisy feo nitsoka malemy.
12and after the shaking a fire: — not in the fire [is] Jehovah; and after the fire a voice still small;
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 ?
13and it cometh to pass, at Elijah`s hearing [it], that he wrappeth his face in his robe, and goeth out, and standeth at the opening of the cave, and lo, unto him [is] a voice, and it saith, `What — to thee, here, Elijah?`
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.
14And he saith, `I have been very zealous for Jehovah, God of Hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken Thy covenant, Thine altars they have thrown down, and Thy prophets they have slain by the sword, and I am left, I, by myself, and they seek my life — to take it.`
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;
15And Jehovah saith unto him, `Go turn back on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus, and thou hast gone in, and anointed Hazael for king over Aram,
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.
16and Jehu son of Nimshi thou dost anoint for king over Israel, and Elisha son of Shaphat, of Abel-Meholah, thou dost anoint for prophet in thy stead.
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.
17`And it hath been, him who is escaped from the sword of Hazael, put to death doth Jehu, and him who is escaped from the sword of Jehu put to death doth Elisha;
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.
18and I have left in Israel seven thousand, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that hath not kissed 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.
19And he goeth thence, and findeth Elisha son of Shaphat, and he is plowing; twelve yoke [are] before him, and he [is] with the twelfth; and Elijah passeth over unto him, and casteth his robe upon him,
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]
20and he forsaketh the oxen, and runneth after Elijah, and saith, `Let me give a kiss, I pray thee, to my father and to my mother, and I go after thee.` And he saith to him, `Go, turn back, for what have I done to thee?`
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]
21And he turneth back from after him, and taketh the yoke of oxen, and sacrificeth it, and with instruments of the oxen he hath boiled their flesh, and giveth to the people, and they eat, and he riseth, and goeth after Elijah, and serveth him.
