1Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
1Li rey Acab quixye re lix Jezabel, li rixakil, chixjunil li quixbânu li profeta Elías. Quixye re chanru nak quixcamsi chi chßîchß chixjunileb lix profeta laj Baal.
2Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I don’t make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time!”
2Ut lix Jezabel quixtakla jun lix takl riqßuin li profeta Elías chixyebal re nak tixcamsi chi chßîchß joß quixbânu reheb lix profeta lix Jezabel. Quixye: —Chineßxcamsihak lin dios cui toj mâjiß nacatcam saß li hônal aßin cuulaj, chan re laj Elías.
3When he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.
3Laj Elías quixqßue retal li chßaßajquilal cuan cuiß. Qui-oc xcßaßux ut qui-el saß li naßajej aßan re xcolbal rib. Cô toj Beerseba li cuan xcuênt Judá ut aran quixcanab lix môs.
4But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, “It is enough. Now, O Yahweh, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.”
4Ut laj Elías cô xjunes saß li chaki chßochß. Jun cutan quibêc. Nak yô chi ecuûc, qui-oc chi hilânc rubel jun tôn li cheß enebro xcßabaß. Quiraj raj câmc ut xban xrahil xchßôl quixye re li Dios: —At Kâcuaß, tzßakal li raylal ac xincßul. Us raj cui tinâqßue chi câmc. Lâin moco kßaxal châbilin ta chiruheb lin xeßtônil yucuaß, chan.
5He lay down and slept under a juniper tree; and behold, an angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat!”
5Laj Elías quixyocob rib rubel li cheß ut quicube xcuara. Nak yô chi cuârc, quicuulac jun x-ángel li Dios riqßuin ut quixtochßtochßi ut quixye re: —Ajsi âcuu. Cuaclin ut cuaßin, chan.
6He looked, and behold, there was at his head a cake baked on the coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank, and lay down again.
6Ut laj Elías quiril nak cuan cuiß lix jolom cuan jun li caxlan cua pombil saß ru xam, ut jun xar li haß. Quicuacli, quicuaßac qui-ucßac ut quicuar cuißchic.
7The angel of Yahweh came again the second time, and touched him, and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.”
7Ut quicuulac cuißchic xcaß sut lix ángel li Dios riqßuin laj Elías ut quixye re: —Ajsi âcuu. Cuaclin ut cuaßin xban nak najt tatxic, chan.
8He arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the Mount of God.
8Quicuacli laj Elías, quicuaßac ut qui-ucßac. Riqßuin lix tzacaêmk li quixtzaca, cau chic rib re tâbêk chiru caßcßâl cutan ut caßcßâl kßojyîn toj tâcuulak saß li tzûl Horeb li nequeßxlokßoni cuiß li Kâcuaß.
9He came there to a cave, and lodged there; and behold, the word of Yahweh came to him, and he said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
9Nak quicuulac laj Elías cuan cuiß li tzûl Horeb, qui-oc saß li ochoch pec saß li tzûl aßan ut aran quixnumsi li kßojyîn. Ut nak ac cuan aran quiâtinac li Dios riqßuin ut quixye re: —At Elías, ¿cßaßru yôcat arin? chan.
10He said, “I have been very jealous for Yahweh, the God of Armies; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and slain your prophets with the sword. I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.”
10Laj Elías quichakßoc ut quixye: —Lâin narahoß saß inchßôl xban nak xinqßue inchßôl chi cßanjelac châcuu, at nimajcual Dios. Eb li ralal xcßajol laj Israel xeßxcanab xbânunquil li naxye saß li contrato li xabânu riqßuineb. Ut xelajeßxpoß lâ artal ut xelajeßxcamsi chi chßîchß eb lâ profetas. Caßaj chic lâin xincana injunes ut yôqueb ajcuiß chinsicßbal lâin re tineßxcamsi, chan laj Elías.
11He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before Yahweh.” Behold, Yahweh passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before Yahweh; but Yahweh was not in the wind. After the wind an earthquake; but Yahweh was not in the earthquake.
11Ut li Kâcuaß quixye re: —Elen saß li ochoch pec ut xaklin saß xbên li tzûl arin chicuu, chan. Saß ajcuiß li hônal aßan quinumeß li Kâcuaß ut quinumeß ajcuiß jun cacuil ikß re xcßutbesinquil lix cuanquil. Kßaxal cau quinumeß li ikß toj retal quilajjacheß li tzûl ut eb li pec quilajeßjoreß.

12After the earthquake a fire passed; but Yahweh was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
12Nak ac xnumeß li hîc, quinumeß li xam, abanan li Dios toj mâjiß naâtinac riqßuin. Ut nak ac xnumeß li xam, quirabi jun li ecßânc chi timil.
13It was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. Behold, a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
13Laj Elías quixtzßap li xnakß ru riqßuin li rakß. Qui-el saß li ochoch pec ut quixakli saß li oquebâl. Quirabi xyâb xcux li Dios nak quiyeheß re: —At Elías, ¿cßaßru yôcat arin? chan.
14He said, “I have been very jealous for Yahweh, the God of Armies; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and slain your prophets with the sword. I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.”
14Laj Elías quichakßoc ut quixye: —Lâin narahoß saß inchßôl xban nak xinqßue inchßôl chi cßanjelac châcuu, at nimajcual Dios.

15Yahweh said to him, “Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus. When you arrive, you shall anoint Hazael to be king over Syria.
15Ut li Kâcuaß Dios quixye re laj Elías: —Sukßin saß li be li xatchal cuiß ut tatxic saß li chaki chßochß li cuan xcuênt Damasco. Nak tatcuulak aran tâqßue li aceite saß xjolom laj Hazael ut tâxakab chokß rey aran Siria.
16You shall anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi to be king over Israel; and you shall anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah to be prophet in your place.
16Tâqßue li aceite saß xjolom laj Jehú ralal laj Nimsi re tâxakab chokß rey aran Israel. Ut joßcan ajcuiß laj Eliseo li ralal laj Safat li cuan aran Abel-mehola. Tâqßue li aceite saß xjolom re tâxakab chokß profeta chokß âcuêkaj lâat.
17It shall happen, that he who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and he who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill.

18Yet will I leave seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth which has not kissed him.”
18Tincanabeb chi yoßyo li cuukub mil laj Israel li incßaß queßxcuikßib rib chixlokßoninquil laj Baal, chi moco queßrutzß ru, chan li Kâcuaß.
19So he departed there, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing, with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed over to him, and cast his mantle on him.
19Joßcan nak laj Elías qui-el saß li naßajej aßan. Coxixtau laj Eliseo li ralal laj Safat. Yô chi becoc chßochß riqßuin cablaju sumal li bôyx. Laj Eliseo yô chi beresînc re li cuan chak chi ixbej. Laj Elías quirisi li tßicr cuan saß xbên li rakß ut quixqßue chirix laj Eliseo.
20He left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, “Let me please kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.” He said to him, “Go back again; for what have I done to you?”
20Saß junpât quixcanab lix bôyx laj Eliseo ut quiâlinac chirix laj Elías ut quixye re: —Inchakßrabihakeb cuan chak lin naß inyucuaß xbên cua ut chirix aßan tinxic châcuix, chan.

21He returned from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, and killed them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and served him.
21Laj Eliseo quisukßi cuan cuiß lix bôyx. Quixcamsiheb li bôyx cuib ut quixchik lix tibeleb. Li cheß li naqßueman saß xcux li bôyx quicßanjelac chokß xsißil. Nak ac xchakßac li tib, laj Eliseo quixqßue chixtiu eb li tenamit. Chirix chic aßan laj Eliseo cô chirix laj Elías ut quicßanjelac chiru.
