³But the angel of Jehovah said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that ye go to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?

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

⁴ Sohõ binde Rabbi ne ni si zumbu ni dima kaŋ ni kaaru din boŋ, amma sikka si ni ga bu.» Iliya binde dira.

⁴Now therefore thus saith Jehovah, Thou shalt not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed.

⁵ Diyey mo ye ka kaa Ahaziya do. A ne i se: «Ifo se no araŋ ye ka kaa?»

⁵And the messengers returned unto him, and he said unto them, Why is it that ye are 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?

⁶And they said unto him, There came up a man to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that thou sendest to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.

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

⁷ Ahaziya ne i se: «Boro mate cine no, bora kaŋ kaa k'araŋ kosaray, ka sanno wo ci araŋ se?»

⁷And he said unto them, What manner of man was he that came up to meet you, and told you these words?

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

⁸ I tu ka ne a se: «Boro gaa-hamnikoy no; a na nga canta guddu nda kuuru guddama.» Bonkoono ne i se: «Tisbi bora Iliya no.»

⁸And they answered him, He was a hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.

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!’”

⁹ Gaa no bonkoono na sooje waygu jine funa da nga sooje waygo donton a gaa. Kal a kaaru Iliya do. Nga mo go ga goro tudu kuuku fo boŋ. Sooje jine funa ne a se: «Ya Irikoy bora, bonkoono ne ma zumbu!»

⁹Then [the king] sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he was sitting on the top of the hill. And he spake unto him, O man of God, the king hath said, Come down.

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.

¹⁰ Iliya tu ka ne sooje waygo jine funa se: «D'ay ya Irikoy boro no, danji ma fun beena ra, a ma ni ŋwa, nin da ni sooje waygo din kulu.» Danji mo fun beena ra k'a ŋwa, nga nda nga sooje waygo din kulu.

¹⁰And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.

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!’”

¹¹ Ahaziya ye ka sooje waygu jine funa fo nda nga sooje waygo donton a gaa. Nga mo koy ka ne Iliya se: «Ya Irikoy bora, bonkoono ne kala ni ma zumbu nda waasi!»

¹¹And again he sent unto him another captain of fifty and his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly.

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.

¹² Iliya tu ka ne i se: «To, d'ay ya Irikoy boro no, danji ma fun beena ra, a ma ni ŋwa, nin da ni sooje waygo din kulu.» Irikoy danjo mo fun beena ra k'a ŋwa, nga nda nga sooje waygo din kulu.

¹²And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.

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.

¹³ Ahaziya ye koyne ka sooje waygu jine funa hinzanta nda nga sooje waygo donton. Sooje waygu jine funa hinzanta kaaru ka koy ka gurfa Iliya jine k'a ŋwaaray ka ne a se: «Ya Irikoy bora, ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma naŋ ay fundo nda ni bannya waygo wo fundey ma du gaakuri ni jine.

¹³And again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.

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.”

¹⁴ Zama danji fun beena ra kaŋ na sooje waygu jine funa hinka din ŋwa, da ngey sooje waygey i banda. Amma sohõ ni ma naŋ ay fundo ma ciya gaakuri hari ni jine.»

¹⁴Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties; but now let my life be precious in thy sight.

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.

¹⁵ Kala Rabbi malayka ne Iliya se: «Ni ma zumbu, nin d'a care banda. Ni ma si humbur'a.» Kal a tun ka zumbu a banda ka koy kala bonkoono do.

¹⁵And the angel of Jehovah said unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the king.

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.’”

¹⁶ Iliya ne bonkoono se: «Rabbi ne: Za kaŋ ni na diyayaŋ donton i ma hã ni se Ekron tooro Baalzabula gaa, ifo no, Irikoy kulu si no Israyla ra, kaŋ gaa i ga hã no? Sohõ ni si zumbu ni dima kaŋ ni kaaru boŋ, zama sikka si ni ga bu.»

¹⁶And he said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Forasmuch as thou hast 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 thou shalt not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.

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.

¹⁷ Kal a bu mo Rabbi sanno kaŋ Iliya ci din boŋ. Za kaŋ a sinda ize, a se no Yehoram te bonkooni a nango ra, Yehoram, Yahuda bonkoono Yehosafat izo mayra jiiri hinkanta ra.

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

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?

¹⁸ Ahaziya goy cindey kaŋ yaŋ a te mo, manti i n'i hantum Israyla bonkooney baaru tira ra bo?

¹⁸Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
