²Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper room that was in Samaria, and was sick. So he sent messengers, and said to them, “Go, inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover of this sickness.”

²Li rey Ocozías quitßaneß saß li ventana saß xcaß tasalil li rochoch li cuan Samaria ut quixtochß rib. Nak nim xyajel quixye reheb lix takl: —Ayukex riqßuin laj Baal-zebub lix dioseb laj Ecrón. Patzßomak chak re ma tinqßuirâk malaj ut incßaß, chan.

³But the angel of Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and tell them, ‘Is it because there is no God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” in Israel, that you go to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron?

³Abanan jun x-ángel li Dios quiâtinac riqßuin li profeta Elías, Tisbe xtenamit, ut quixye re: —Ayu chixcßulbaleb lix takl li rey ut tâye reheb chi joßcaßin, “¿Cßaßut nak texxic chi patzßoc riqßuin laj Baal-zebub lix dioseb laj Ecrón? ¿Ma mâcßaß ta biß li Dios arin Israel?”

⁴Now therefore thus says Yahweh, “You shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.”’” Elijah departed.

⁴Tâye reheb nak teßxye re li rey nak tâcâmk ut incßaß chic tâusâk, chan li ángel. Ut laj Elías quixbânu joß quiyeheß re xban lix ángel li Kâcuaß ut cô.

⁵The messengers returned to him, and he said to them, “Why is it that you have returned?”

⁶They said to him, “A man came up to meet us, and said to us, ‘Go, return to the king who sent you, and tell him, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you send to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.’”’”

⁶Eb aßan queßxye: —Xkacßul jun li cuînk saß be. Aßan quixye ke nak tosukßîk chixyebal âcue chi joßcaßin, “¿Cßaßut nak tâtakla lâ takl chi âtinac riqßuin laj Baal-zebub, lix dioseb laj Ecrón? ¿Ma mâcßaß ta biß li Dios arin Israel?

⁷He said to them, “What kind of man was he who came up to meet you, and told you these words?”

⁷Ut li rey quixye: —¿Chanru na-iloc li cuînk li xyehoc êre chi joßcan? chan.

⁸They answered him, “He was a hairy man, and wearing a leather belt around his waist.” He said, “It is Elijah the Tishbite.”

⁸Eb li takl queßxye: —Li rakß yîbanbil riqßuin rix li xul. Ut lix cßâmal xsaß yîbanbil riqßuin tzßûm, chanqueb. Li rey quixye reheb: —Aßan laj Elías nacuabi, chan.

⁹Then the king sent a captain of fifty with his fifty to him. He went up to him; and behold, he was sitting on the top of the hill. He said to him, “Man of God, the king has said, ‘Come down!’”

⁹Tojoßnak li rey quixtakla jun li nataklan saß xbêneb lix soldado rochbeneb lajêb roxcßâl chi soldado re teßxic chixcßambal chak laj Elías. Li nataklan saß xbêneb li soldado quixtau laj Elías chunchu saß xbên bol. Li cuînk quixye re: —At xprofeta li Dios, li rey xtakla xyebal âcue nak tatcubek saß li tzûl aßin ut tatxic riqßuin, chan.

¹⁰Elijah answered to the captain of fifty, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from the sky, and consume you and your fifty!” Fire came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.

¹⁰Quixye laj Elías: —Cui lâin tzßakal xprofeta li Dios, chichâlk ta xam saß choxa re tatxcßat ut re ajcuiß nak tixcßateb li soldado cuanqueb âcuochben, chan. Saß junpât quichal li xam ut queßcßat li soldado joß ajcuiß li nataklan saß xbêneb.

¹¹Again he sent to him another captain of fifty and his fifty. He answered him, “Man of God, the king has said, ‘Come down quickly!’”

¹¹Li rey quixtakla jun chic li cuînk li nataklan saß xbêneb lix soldado rochbeneb lajêb roxcßâl chic li soldado. Queßcôeb riqßuin laj Elías ut queßxye re: —At xprofeta li Dios, li rey xtakla xyebal âcue nak tatcubek chi junpât ut tatxic riqßuin, chan.

¹²Elijah answered them, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from the sky, and consume you and your fifty!” The fire of God came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.

¹²Laj Elías quixye re: —Cui yâl nak lâin tzßakal xprofeta li Dios, chichâlk ta xam saß choxa re tatxcßat lâat ut re ajcuiß nak tixcßateb lâ lajêb roxcßâl chi soldado, chan. Ut li xam quichal chak saß choxa ut queßcßat chixjunileb li soldado joß ajcuiß li nataklan saß xbêneb.

¹³Again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. The third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged him, and said to him, “Man of God, please let my life, and the life of these fifty your servants, be precious in your sight.

¹³Ut li rey quixtakla rox sut lajêb roxcßâl chic li soldado rochben li nataklan saß xbêneb. Queßtakeß saß li tzûl.

Incßaß taxak tinâqßue chi câmc lâin ut incßaß taxak tâqßueheb chi câmc li lajêb roxcßâl chi soldado, li nequeßcßanjelac châcuu.

¹⁴Behold, fire came down from the sky, and consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties. But now let my life be precious in your sight.”

¹⁴Li jun chßol chic li xeßcßulun âcuiqßuin queßcamsîc xban li xam li xchal chak saß choxa, eb li soldado joß eb ajcuiß li xeßtaklan saß xbêneb. At Elías, tâcuil taxak xtokßobâl ku. Incßaß taxak tocâmk lâo, chan.

¹⁵The angel of Yahweh said to Elijah, “Go down with him. Don’t be afraid of him.” He arose, and went down with him to the king.

¹⁵Ut lix ángel li Kâcuaß quixye re laj Elías: —Matxucuac. Cuben ut tatxic chirixeb, chan. Joßcan nak laj Elías quixtâkeheb li soldado ut cô riqßuin li rey.

¹⁶He said to him, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.’”

¹⁶Laj Elías quixye re li rey: —Joßcaßin xye li Kâcuaß Dios, “¿Cßaßut nak xatakla xpatzßbal ânaßleb riqßuin laj Baal-zebub, lix dioseb laj Ecrón? ¿Ma incßaß ta biß cuan li tzßakal Dios arin Israel? Xapatzß raj re aßan. Xban nak xatakla xpatzßbal ânaßleb re laj Baal-zebub, incßaß chic tatqßuirâk. Tatcâmk,” chan.—

¹⁷So he died according to the word of Yahweh which Elijah had spoken. Jehoram began to reign in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.

¹⁷Quicam li rey Ocozías joß quixye li Kâcuaß re li profeta Elías. Ut aß chic laj Joram li rîtzßin qui-oc saß xcuanquil chokß rêkaj xban nak laj Ocozías mâ jun ralal quicuan.

¹⁸Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
