1Some time later, Naboth the Jezreelite happened to own a vineyard in Jezreel next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
1Oasr ima in grape se lun mwet se pangpang Naboth, oan apkuran nu ke inkul fulat sel Tokosra Ahab in acn Jezreel.
2So Ahab said to Naboth, “Give me your vineyard to use as a vegetable garden, since it is next to my palace. I will give you a better vineyard in its place—or if you prefer, I will give you its value in silver.”
2Sie len ah Ahab el fahk nu sel Naboth, “Use luk ima in grape se lom an. Ke oan apkuran nu ke lohm sik uh, nga lungse orekmakin nu ke ima in mahsrik. Nga ac sot sie ima in grape ma wo liki, ku kom fin lungse nga in molela, na nga ac sot sie moul fal nu kac.”
3But Naboth replied, “The LORD forbid that I should give you the inheritance of my fathers.”
3Naboth el fahk, “Ima in grape se inge usru se luk sin mwet matu luk ah. LEUM GOD El tia ku in lela ngan sot lom.”
4So Ahab went to his palace, sullen and angry because Naboth the Jezreelite had told him, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He lay down on his bed, turned his face away, and refused to eat.
4Tokosra Ahab el som nu lohm sel, ac el kasrkusrak ac arulana supwar ke ma Naboth el fahk nu sel. El ona fin mwe oan kial, ac forang nu pesinka ac tiana mongo.
5Soon his wife Jezebel came in and asked, “Why are you so sullen that you refuse to eat?”
5Jezebel, mutan kial, el som nu yorol ac siyuk sel, “Mea aktoasrye kom an? Efu ku kom tia mongo?”
6Ahab answered, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and told him, ‘Give me your vineyard for silver, or if you wish, I will give you another vineyard in its place.’ And he replied, ‘I will not give you my vineyard!’”
6Ac Ahab el fahk, “Nga toasrkin kas ma Naboth el fahk nu sik ah. Nga oru ngan molela ima in grape se lal, ku fin wo sel nga in sang sie pac ima in grape aolla ima lal ah, tuh pa el fahk mu nga tia ku in eis ima se lal.”
7But his wife Jezebel said to him, “Do you not reign over Israel? Get up, eat some food, and be cheerful, for I will get you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”
7Jezebel el fahk, “Na mea, tia tokosra se pa kom? Tukakek, mongoi ac enganak. Nga ac eisla ima in grape se lal Naboth ac sot lom!”
8Then Jezebel wrote letters in Ahab’s name, sealed them with his seal, and sent them to the elders and nobles who lived with Naboth in his city.
8Na Jezebel el simusla kutu leta, ac sainiya inel Ahab kac, siliya ke sil lal ah, ac supwalik nu sin mwet pwapa fulat ac mwet kol in acn Jezreel.
9In the letters she wrote: “Proclaim a fast and give Naboth a seat of honor among the people.
9Leta ingan fahk ouinge: “Sulkakinelik sie len in lalo ac pangoneni mwet uh, na sang Naboth elan muta ke acn in muta fulat.
10But seat two scoundrels opposite him and have them testify, ‘You have cursed both God and the king!’ Then take him out and stone him to death.”
10Sokak luo mwet koluk elah an in orek loh kikiap lainul ye mutal ac fahk mu el selngawi God oayapa tokosra. Na kowos usalla nu likin siti uh, ac tanglal nwe ke el misa.”
11So the elders and nobles who lived in Naboth’s city did as Jezebel had instructed in the letters she had written to them.
11Mwet pwapa fulat ac mwet kol in acn Jezreel elos orala ma Jezebel el sapkin.
12They proclaimed a fast and gave Naboth a seat of honor among the people.
12Elos fahkelik len in lalo sac, ac pangoneni mwet uh, ac sang nien muta fulat sac nu sel Naboth.
13And the two scoundrels came in and sat opposite Naboth, and these men testified against him before the people, saying, “Naboth has cursed both God and the king!” So they took him outside the city and stoned him to death.
13Mwet koluk elah luo ah kikiap ac fahk ye mutun mwet uh mu Naboth el selngawi God ac tokosra. Ouinge utukla el nu likin siti uh, ac tatngal el nwe ke na el misa.
14Then they sent word to Jezebel: “Naboth has been stoned to death.”
14Na kas kacl supweyukla nu sel Jezebel fahk mu, “Naboth el anwuki tari.”
15When Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned to death, she said to Ahab, “Get up and take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, who refused to give it to you for silver. For Naboth is no longer alive, but dead.”
15Ke na pacl se kas inge sonol Jezebel, el fahk nu sel Ahab, “Naboth el misa. Fahla eis lom ima in grape se ma el tuh srunga kom in molela.”
16And when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, he got up and went down to take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
16In pacl sac na Ahab el som nu ke ima sac, in eisla lal.
17Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
17Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Elijah, mwet palu Tishbe,
18“Get up and go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who is in Samaria. See, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, of which he has gone to take possession.
18“Fahla nu yorol Ahab, tokosra Samaria. Kom ac konalak in ima in grape lal Naboth, su el akola in sruokya lal.
19Tell him that this is what the LORD says: ‘Have you not murdered a man and seized his land?’ Then tell him that this is also what the LORD says: ‘In the place where the dogs licked up the blood of Naboth, there also the dogs will lick up your blood—yes, yours!’”
19Fahk nu sel lah nga, LEUM GOD , fahk ouinge, ‘Ya tukun kom akmuseya mwet sac tari an, kom ac eisla pac acn sel an?’ Fahkang nu sel lah nga fahk ouinge: ‘In acn se na ma kosro ngalngul uh lohi srah kacl Naboth we, elos ac lohela pac srah keim uh we!’”
20When Elijah arrived, Ahab said to him, “So you have found me out, my enemy.” He replied, “I have found you out because you have sold yourself to do evil in the sight of the LORD.
20Ke Ahab el liyalak Elijah, el fahk, “Mwet lokoalok luk, ya kom sifilpa koneyuyak?” Elijah el topuk, “Aok, nga konekomyak. Ke sripen kom sang nufon kuiyom in oru ma koluk ye mutun LEUM GOD ,
21This is what the LORD says: ‘I will bring calamity on you and consume your descendants; I will cut off from Ahab every male in Israel, both slave and free.
21ouinge LEUM GOD El fahk nu sum, ‘Nga ac fah sot mwe ongoiya lulap nu fom. Nga ac kunauskomla ac onela mukul nukewa in sou lom, mwet fusr ac mwet matu oana sie.
22I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat and like that of Baasha son of Ahijah, because you have provoked My anger and caused Israel to sin.’
22Sou lom ac fah oana sou lal Tokosra Jeroboam, wen natul Nebat, ac oapana sou lal Tokosra Baasha, wen natul Ahijah, mweyen kom akkasrkusrakyeyu ke kom kolla mwet Israel in oru ma koluk.’
23And the LORD also speaks concerning Jezebel: ‘The dogs will devour Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.’
23A funu kacl Jezebel, LEUM GOD El fahk mu kosro ngalngul ac fah kangla manol in siti Jezreel.
24Anyone belonging to Ahab who dies in the city will be eaten by dogs, and anyone who dies in the field will be eaten by the birds of the air.”
24Kutena mwet in sou lom su misa in siti uh, ac fah mongola sin kosro ngalngul, ac kutena su misa likin siti uh, ac fah mongola sin won vulture.” (
25(Surely there was never one like Ahab, who sold himself to do evil in the sight of the LORD, incited by his wife Jezebel.
25Wangin sie mwet su sang insial nufon in oru ma koluk ye mutun LEUM GOD oana Ahab, ac el oru ouinge ke sripen Jezebel, mutan kial ah, el akkeye ma el oru.
26He committed the most detestable acts by going after idols, just like the Amorites whom the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.)
26El tuh oru mwe mwekin na yohk ke el alu nu ke ma sruloala, oana ma mwet Amor elos oru, aok elos su LEUM GOD El lusla liki facl sac ke mwet Israel elos utyak nu we.)
27When Ahab heard these words, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and fasted. He lay down in sackcloth and walked around meekly.
27Ke Elijah el kaskas tari, Ahab el salik nuknuk lal ac sarukla, ac nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa se. El srangesr mongo, ac el motul ke nuknuk yohk eoa, ac ke el forfor el asor ac toasr.
28Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying:
28LEUM GOD el fahk nu sel Elijah, mwet palu,
29“Have you seen how Ahab has humbled himself before Me? Because he has humbled himself before Me, I will not bring the calamity during his days, but I will bring it upon his house in the days of his son.”
29“Ku kom tuni ac liye ke Ahab el arulana sisilya ye mutuk uh? Ke el oru ouinge uh, nga ac tila sang ongoiya nu sel ke pacl el moul. Ongoiya ac fah tuku nu fin sou lal Ahab ke pacl lun wen natul.”
