1Now Ahab told Jezebel everything that Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
1Elijah kah a saii boeih, tonghma boeih cunghang neh a pum la a ngawn te khaw Ahab loh Jezebel taengah a puen pah.
2So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “May the gods deal with me, and ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like the lives of those you killed!”
2Jezebel loh Elijah taengla puencawn a tueih tih, “Pathen rhoek loh saii uh van saeh lamtah koei uh van saeh, thangvuen khohnin ah amih pakhat kah hinglu bangla na hinglu te ka saii vaengah,” a ti nah.
3And Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there,
3A rhih dongah thoo tih a hinglu hamla yong. Judah kah Beersheba a pha vaengah a tueihyoeih te pahoi a om tak.
4while he himself traveled on a day’s journey into the wilderness. He sat down under a broom tree and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, LORD,” he said. “Take my life, for I am no better than my fathers.”
4Anih te khosoek la cet tih hnin at longcaeh a pha. Te vaengah hlingcet hmui ah ngol tih a hinglu a duek ham a bih. Te dongah, “Temah laeh saeh, BOEIPA aw ka hinglu he lo laeh, kai he a pa rhoek lakah ka then moenih,” a ti nah.
5Then he lay down under the broom tree and fell asleep. Suddenly an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.”
5Yalh tih hlingcet hmui ah a ih vaengah puencawn loh anih te tarha a taek tih, “Thoo lamtah Ca laeh,” a ti nah.
6And he looked around, and there by his head was a cake of bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank and lay down again.
6A paelki hatah a lu ah cangrhoh buh neh tui um lawt a om pah. Te dongah a caak a ok tih koep yalh.
7A second time the angel of the LORD returned and touched him, saying, “Get up and eat, or the journey will be too much for you.”
7BOEIPA kah puencawn a pabae la mael tih anih te a taek. Te phoeiah, “Nang hamla longpuei puh pueng, thoo lamtah ca dae,” a ti nah.
8So he got up and ate and drank. And strengthened by that food, he walked forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God.
8Te dongah thoo tih uh a caak, tui a ok. Te phoeiah caak ok kah thadueng neh Pathen kah tlang Horeb hil khoyin sawmli, khothaih sawmli cet.
9There Elijah entered a cave and spent the night. And the word of the LORD came to him, saying, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
9Lungko khuila pahoi kun tih a rhaeh vaengah BOEIPA ol anih taengla pak a pawk pah. Te vaengah anih te, “Elijah heah nang ham balae aka om he,” a ti nah.
10“I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of Hosts,” he replied, “but the Israelites have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I am the only one left, and they are seeking my life as well.”
10Te dongah, “Caempuei Pathen BOEIPA ham ka thatlai la ka thatlai coeng. Na paipi te Israel ca loh a toeng tih na hmueihtuk a koengloeng uh, na tonghma rhoek te cunghang neh a ngawn uh, kai kamah bueng ka sueng dae ka hinglu loh ham a mae uh,” a ti nah.
11Then the LORD said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before the LORD. Behold, the LORD is about to pass by.” And a great and mighty wind tore into the mountains and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake.
11Te vaengah, “Cet lamtah tlang sokah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah pai,” a ti nah. BOEIPA tarha pah tih khohli a tloh vaengah tlang rhoek te phuk a va. BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thaelpang khaw rhek. Tedae BOEIPA he khohli khuiah om pawh. Khohli phoeiah lingluei tho dae lingluei khuiah BOEIPA a om moenih.
12After the earthquake there was a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a still, small voice.
12Lingluei hnukah hmai om dae hmai khuiah BOEIPA a om moenih. Hmai hnuk ah tah bidip ol dingsuek la om.
13When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
13Elijah loh a yaak vaengah a himbai neh a maelhmai a cun. Te phoeiah cet tih lungko thohka ah pai. Te vaengah anih taengla ol hlawt a caeh pah tih, “Elijah heah nang ham balae aka om?” a ti nah.
14“I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of Hosts,” he replied, “but the Israelites have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I am the only one left, and they are seeking my life as well.”
14Te dongah, “Caempuei Pathen BOEIPA ham ka thatlai la ka thatlai coeng. Na paipi te Israel ca loh a toeng tih na hmueihtuk a koengloeng uh, na tonghma rhoek te cunghang neh a ngawn uh, kai kamah bueng ka sueng dae ka hinglu he loh ham a mae uh,” a ti nah.
15Then the LORD said to him, “Go back by the way you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you arrive, you are to anoint Hazael as king over Aram.
15BOEIPA loh anih te, “Cet lamtah na longpuei te khosoek la hoi laeh. Damasku na pha vaengah Hazael te Aram kah manghai la koelh.
16You are also to anoint Jehu son of Nimshi as king over Israel and Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel-meholah to succeed you as prophet.
16Nimshi capa Jehu te Israel kah manghai la koelh laeh. Abelmeholath lamkah Shaphat capa Elisha te namah yueng tonghma la koelh.
17Then Jehu will put to death whoever escapes the sword of Hazael, and Elisha will put to death whoever escapes the sword of Jehu.
17Hazael cunghang lamkah aka loeih te Jehu loh a duek sak vetih Jehu cunghang lamkah aka loeih te Elisha loh a duek sak ni.
18Nevertheless, I have reserved seven thousand in Israel—all whose knees have not bowed to Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him.”
18Baal taengah khuklu aka cungkueng pawt boeih, anih te a ka neh aka mok pawt boeih he Israel khuikah thawng rhih ka hlun pueng,” a ti nah.
19So Elijah departed and found Elisha son of Shaphat. He was plowing with twelve teams of oxen, and he was with the twelfth team. Elijah passed by him and threw his cloak around him.
19Te lamloh a caeh vaengah Shaphat capa Elisha te a hmuh. Te vaengah a mikhmuh ah rhoi hlai nit ana balak. Amah tah a hlai nit nah dongah balak. Elijah loh anih te a paan tih a taengah a himbai a voeih pah.
20So Elisha left the oxen, ran after Elijah, and said, “Please let me kiss my father and mother goodbye, and then I will follow you.” “Go on back,” Elijah replied, “for what have I done to you?”
20Vaito te pak a hlak tih Elijah hnukah yong. Te vaengah Elijah te, “A pa neh a nu tah ka mok mai eh. Te phoeiah nang hnukah ka lo bitni,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih te, “Cet ngawn lamtah nang taengah mebang khaw ka saii dongah koep ha mael,” a ti nah.
21So Elisha turned back from him, took his pair of oxen, and slaughtered them. With the oxen’s equipment, he cooked the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out to follow and serve Elijah.
21Te dongah Elijah hnuk lamloh mael tih vaito rhoi at te a loh. Te te a ngawn tih maeh te vaito mah kah hnopai neh a thoong. Te phoeiah pilnam te a paek tih a caak uh. Te phoeiah thoo tih Elijah hnukah cet tih thotat.
