1Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
1Huan, Ahab in Elija thilhih tengteng, namsau a jawlnei tengteng a thah thute toh Jezebel a hilh a.
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!”
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.
3When he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, 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.
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.”
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.
5He lay down and slept under a juniper tree; and behold, an angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat!”
5Huchiin juniper sing nuaiah a luma, a ihmuta hi; huan, ngaiin, angel in a hongkhoih a, akiangah, thou inla ne in, achia.
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.
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.
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.”
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.
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.
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.
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?”
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.
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.”
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.
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.
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;
12After the earthquake a fire passed; but Yahweh was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small 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.
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?”
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.
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.”
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.
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.
15Huan, Toupa a kiangah, Pai nawnta inla, gamdai lamah Damaska khua ah paiin: na tun chiangin Suria kumpipa dingin Hazael sathau na nilh dinga;
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.
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.
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.
17Huan, hichi ahi dinga, Hazael namsau pel peuhmah Jehu in a that dinga; huan, Jehu namsau pel peuhmah Elisa in a that ding.
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.”
18Himahleh Israel gamah Baal ma a khukdin ngei nailou leh, tawp ngei nailou mi sangsagih kei a din ka hum ding hi, achia.
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.
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.
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?”
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.
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.
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.
