1It happened after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
1 Hayey din banda Nabot Yezreyel bora gonda reyzin* kali Yezreyel ra, Samariya bonkoono Ahab faada jarga.
2Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near to my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money.”
2 Kala Ahab salaŋ Nabot se ka ne: «Ay no ni reyzin kalo a ma ciya ay wane foy jiney kali, zama a ga maan ay windo. Ay mo ya ni no kaliyaŋ kaŋ boori ka bisa ni wano wo, wala mo da ni ga ba, ay m'a darza bana ni se da nooru.»
3Naboth said to Ahab, “May Yahweh forbid me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you!”
3 Nabot ne Ahab se: «Rabbi m'ay waa d'ay m'ay kaayey tubo no ni se.»
4Ahab came into his house sullen and angry because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He laid himself down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
4 Ahab furo nga fuwo ra da bine tiŋay kaŋ kaani si no, Yezreyel bora Nabot sanno se kaŋ a ci a se, zama a ne: «Ay s'ay baaba tubu kalo no ni se.» Kal a kani nga daaro boŋ ka nga moyduma bare ka wangu ka ŋwa.
5But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, “Why is your spirit so sad, that you eat no bread?”
5 Amma a wande Yezabel kaa a do ka ne a se: «Ifo se no ni bine sara ya-cine, hala ni si ŋwa?»
6He said to her, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, ‘Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.’ He answered, ‘I will not give you my vineyard.’”
6 A ne wando se: «Zama ay salaŋ Yezreyel bora Nabot se ka ne a se: ‹Ma ni reyzin kalo neera ay se. Da manti yaadin mo no, da ni ga ba, ay ga ni no kalo wo banandi.› Amma a tu ka ne ay se: ‹Ay s'ay kalo no ni se!› »
7Jezebel his wife said to him, “Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”
7 Kala a wando Yezabel ne a se: «Sohõ manti nin no goono ga Israyla may bo? Tun ka ŋwa, ni bina ma farhã mo. Ay ga ni no Yezreyel bora Nabot reyzin kalo.»
8So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles who were in his city, who lived with Naboth.
8 Waybora mo na tirayaŋ hantum Ahab maa boŋ, ka bonkoono kawaatimo kar i gaa ka tirey samba i ma koy arkusey da koy kayney do kaŋ yaŋ ngey da Nabot go care banda kwaara ra.
9She wrote in the letters, saying, “Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
9 Tirey ra a hantum ka ne: «Wa mehaw fe ka Nabot daŋ jama jine.
10Set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, ‘You cursed God and the king!’ Then carry him out, and stone him to death.”
10 I ma boro hinka suuban boro yaamey ra, i ma furo a jine ka seeda a boŋ ka ne: ‹Ni na Irikoy da bonkoono mo kayna.› Gaa no i ma kond'a taray k'a catu-catu nda tondiyaŋ kal a ma bu.»
11The men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them.
11 Ngey din, a kwaara borey binde, danga arkusey da jine borey kaŋ goono ga goro a kwaara ra, i te sanda mate kaŋ Yezabel donton i se, mate kaŋ cine i hantum tirey ra din boŋ, kaŋ a samba i se.
12They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
12 I na mehaw fe ka Nabot daŋ borey jine.
13The two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him. The base fellows testified against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth cursed God and the king!” Then they carried him out of the city, and stoned him to death with stones.
13 Kala boro hinka din, boro yaamey kaa ka goro a jine. Boro yaamey din binde na seeda no a boŋ, sanda Nabot boŋ nooya, jama jine. I ne: «Ni na Irikoy da bonkoono kulu kayna.» Woodin banda i konda Nabot birno banda taray k'a catu-catu nda tondiyaŋ kal a bu.
14Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned, and is dead.”
14 Waato din gaa i donton ka ci Yezabel se ka ne: «I na Nabot catu-catu nda tondiyaŋ, a bu mo.»
15It happened, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, “Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.”
15 A ciya binde, waato kaŋ Yezabel maa baaru kaŋ i na Nabot catu-catu nda tondiyaŋ kal a bu, kala Yezabel ne Ahab se: «Tun ka Yezreyel bora Nabot reyzin* kalo kaŋ a wangu ka neera ni se da nooru din tubu, zama Nabot sinda fundi, amma buuko no.»
16It happened, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
16 A ciya binde, waati kaŋ Ahab maa Nabot buuyaŋo baaru, kala Ahab tun zama nga ma zulli ka koy Yezreyel bora Nabot reyzin kalo do, nga m'a ta se.
17The word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
17 Kala Rabbi sanno kaa Iliya Tisbi bora do ka ne:
18“Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwells in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it.
18 «Tun ka zumbu ka Israyla bonkoono Ahab kubay, nga kaŋ go Samariya da goray. Guna, a go Nabot reyzin kalo ra, naŋ kaŋ a koy zama nga m'a tubo ta.
19You shall speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Have you killed and also taken possession?”’ You shall speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs will lick your blood, even yours.”’”
19 Ni ma salaŋ a se ka ne: Haŋ kaŋ Rabbi ci neeya: Ni wi ka tubu ŋwa no, wala? Ni ma salaŋ a se koyne ka ne: Haŋ kaŋ Rabbi ci neeya: To, nango kaŋ hansey na Nabot kuro loogu din, hansey ga ni mo kuro loogu noodin, oho, ni bumbo wano.»
20Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?” He answered, “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in the sight of Yahweh.
20 Ahab ne Iliya se: «Ni n'ay kaa taray nooya, ya nin ay ibara?» Iliya tu ka ne: «Ay na ni kaa taray no, zama ni na ni boŋ neera goy laalo teeyaŋ se Rabbi jine.
21Behold, I will bring evil on you, and will utterly sweep you away and will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, or, male and him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel.
21 Guna, ay go ga laaliyaŋ candi ka kande ni boŋ. Ay ga ni haabu-haabu parkatak, ay ma ize alboro kulu alandaaba Ahab se, ngey kaŋ yaŋ goono ga daabu da ngey kaŋ yaŋ go taŋante Israyla ra.
22I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah for the provocation with which you have provoked me to anger, and have made Israel to sin.”
22 Ay ga ni windo ciya mo sanda Yerobowam Nebat izo windo cine, da Ahiya izo Baasa windo cine, zukuyaŋo kaŋ ni n'ay bina zuku nd'a se. Ni na Israyla daŋ i ma zunubi te mo.»
23Yahweh also spoke of Jezebel, saying, “The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel.
23 Yezabel ciine ra mo, Rabbi ne: «Hansiyaŋ ga Yezabel ŋwa Yezreyel laabo me gaa.
24The dogs will eat he who dies of Ahab in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat he who dies in the field.”
24 Boro kaŋ bu Ahab do haray kwaara ra, hansey g'a ŋwa. Boro kaŋ bu saajo ra mo, beene curey g'a ŋwa.»
25But there was none like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
25 Amma Ahab cine si no kaŋ na nga boŋ neera nga ma goy laalo te Rabbi jine, mate kaŋ a wande Yezabel n'a tuti.
26He did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel.
26 A na fanta goy te mo gumo tooru ganayaŋ ra, hay kulu kaŋ Amorancey ga te boŋ, ngey kaŋ yaŋ Rabbi tuti ka hibandi ka kaa Israyla izey jine.
27It happened, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
27 A ciya binde, waato kaŋ Ahab maa sanney din, kal a na nga bankaaray tooru-tooru, ka bufu daŋ nga gaahamo gaa, ka fay da ŋwaari, ka kani bufo ra. A soobay ka dira kayna-kayna.
28The word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
28 Kala Rabbi sanno kaa Tisbi bora Iliya do ka ne:
29“See how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but in his son’s days will I bring the evil on his house.”
29 «Ni di mate kaŋ cine Ahab goono ga nga boŋ kaynandi nd'a ya-cine ay jine? Za kaŋ a na nga boŋ kaynandi ay jine, ay si kande masiiba nga din jihaado ra. Kal a izo jihaadi ra no ay ga kande masiiba din a dumo boŋ.»
