King James Version with Apocrypha
1Khohnin muep a koe phoeikah a kum thum dongah BOEIPA ol te Elijah taengla pawk tih, “Cet lamtah Ahab taengah phoe pah, diklai hman ah khotlan kan paek bitni,” a ti nah.
1And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.
2Te dongah Elijah te Ahab taengah phoe hamla cet. Te vaengah Samaria ah khokha tlung.
2And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. And there was a sore famine in Samaria.
3Te dongah Ahab loh im kah Obadiah te a khue. Te vaengah Obadiah tah BOEIPA bahoeng aka rhih la om.
3And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly:
4BOEIPA kah tonghma rhoek te Jezebel loh a thup ham a om vaengah khaw Obadiah loh tonghma yakhat te a khuen tih amih te lungko pakhat ah hlang sawmnga rhip a thuh. Te phoeiah amih te buh neh tui neh a cangbam.
4For it was so , when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD , that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)
5Ahab loh Obadiah te, “Khohmuen kah tuisih tui boeih neh soklong boeih te paan lamtah sulrham khaw m'hmuh khaming. Te daengah ni marhang neh muli-marhang n'hing sak vetih rhamsa khaw n'hlong pawt eh?,” a ti nah.
5And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.
6Khohmuen tom til hamla amamih tael uh thae. Ahab te amah bueng longpuei pakhat ah cet tih Obadiah khaw amah bueng longpuei pakhat ah cet.
6So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
7Obadiah te longpueng ah a om vaengah anih te Elijah loh tapkhoeh a doe. Anih te a hmat coeng dongah a maelhmai dongah buluk tih, “Ka boeipa Elijah nang a te?” a ti nah.
7¶ And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou that my lord Elijah?
8Te phoeiah Obadiah te, “Kai ue, cet lamtah na boeipa taengah, 'Elijah ke,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
8And he answered him, I am: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here .
9Te phoeiah, “Kai duek sak hamla Ahab kut ah na sal nan tloeng ham khaw nang balae ka tholh?”
9And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?
10Nang kah Pathen BOEIPA kah hingnah dongah, nang tlap pahoi ham ka boei loh n'tueih pawh, namtom neh ram om voel pawh. Nang m'hmuh pawt te, “Om pawh,” a ti uh vaengah ram neh namtom khaw a toemngam coeng.
10As the LORD thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not.
11Tedae nang loh, 'Na boei taengah cet lamtah 'Elijah he,’ ti nah,’ na ti mai.
11And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here .
12Kai he nang taeng lamloh ka nong tih BOEIPA kah Mueihla loh ka ming nah pawt la nang n'khuen khaming. Ahab taengla puen ham ka caeh vaengah nang m'hmu pawt mai koinih kai n'ngawn ni ta. Tedae na sal he ka camoe lamloh BOEIPA te ka rhih ngawn ne.
12And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of the LORD shall carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant fear the LORD from my youth.
13Jezebel loh BOEIPA kah tonghma rhoek a ngawn vaengah ka saii te ka boeipa taengla ha puen pawt nim? BOEIPA tonghma hlang yakhat te lungko pakhat ah hlang sawmnga, sawmnga rhip ka thuh tih amih te buh neh tui neh ka cangbam coeng.
13Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD , how I hid an hundred men of the LORD’s prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?
14Tedae tahae ah, “Cet lamtah na boei rhoek taengah 'Elijah he 'ti nah na ti vaengah kai n'ngawn pawn ni,” a ti nah.
14And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here: and he shall slay me.
15Elijah loh, “Caempuei BOEIPA kah hingnah bangla amah mikhmuh ah ka pai coeng. Tihnin ah Ahab taengla ka phoe kuekluek ni,” a ti nah.
15And Elijah said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely shew myself unto him to day.
16Obadiah te Ahab doe hamla cet tih a taengah a puen pah. Te dongah Ahab khaw Elijah doe hamla cet.
16So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
17Ahab loh Elijah te a hmuh vaengah Ahab loh anih te, “Israel aka lawn te nang nama?” a ti nah.
17¶ And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
18Te vaengah, “Israel te ka lawn pawt tih namah neh na pa imkhui loh na lawn. BOEIPA olpaek te na toeng uh tih Baal hnukah na pongpa uh.
18And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father’s house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD , and thou hast followed Baalim.
19Karmel tlang la kamah taengah Israel pum neh Baal tonghma rhoek ya li sawmnga, Jezebel caboei aka vael Asherah tonghma ya li te khue lamtah coi laeh,” a ti nah.
19Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel’s table.
20Ahab loh Israel ca boeih te a tah tih tonghma rhoek neh Karmel tlang ah a tingtun sak.
20So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.
21Te vaengah Elijah te pilnam pum taengla mop tih, “Pomnah panit dongah ah me hil nim na ingang uh ve? Pathen Yahweh kah van atah a hnukah rhep pongpa uh. Tedae Baal kah van atah anih hnukah rhep pongpa uh,” a ti nah vaengah pilnam loh anih te ol doo pawh.
21And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
22Elijah loh pilnam taengah, “Kai he kamah bueng ni BOEIPA kah tonghma la ka cul coeng. Tedae Baal kah tonghma rhoek tah hlang ya li sawmnga lo.
22Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD ; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
23Kaimih ham vaito pumnit m'pae uh laeh. Vaito pumat te amih ham coelh uh saeh lamtah top uh saeh. Te phoeiah thing soah tloeng uh saeh lamtah hmai toih uh boel saeh. Kai khaw vaito pakhat te ka ngawn vetih thing soah ka tloeng van ni, tedae hmai toih van mahpawh.
23Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under:
24Na pathen rhoek kah ming te khue uh lamtah kai khaw Yahweh ming te ka khue eh. Tedae hmai neh aka doo Pathen te tah Pathen tang la om ni,” a ti nah. Te vaengah pilnam pum loh a doo tih, “Ol then ni,” a ti uh.
24And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD : and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.
25Te phoeiah Elijah loh Baal tonghma rhoek taengah, “Namamih ham vaito pumat ah tuek uh. Na yet uh dongah lamhma la saii lamtah na pathen ming te khue uh. Tedae hmai tah toih uh boeh,” a ti nah.
25And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under .
26Te dongah vaito a khuen uh te amih taengah a paek uh tih a ngawn uh. Baal ming te mincang lamloh khothun hil a khue uh. “Baal, kaimih n'doo lah,” a ti uh. Tedae ol a om pawt tih a doo pawt dongah a saii hmueihtuk taengah ingang uh.
26And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it , and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made.
27Khothun a pha vaengah Elijah tah amih taengah omsaa tih, “Ol a len la pang uh, na pathen te kohuetnah om khaming, anih te bitok khaming, anih te yiin mai khaming, anih te muelh ip mai khaming, haeng uh dae,” a ti nah.
27And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.
28Te dongah ol a len la pang uh. Amih kah khosing bangla a pum dongkah thii a long hil cunghang neh cai neh a hlap uh.
28And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.
29Khothun a poeng tih khocang nawn hil khaw tonghma uh. Tedae ol om pawt tih a doo voel pawt dongah hnatungnah khaw om pawh.
29And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.
30Elijah loh pilnam boeih te, “Kai taengla ha thoeih uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah pilnam pum te anih taengla thoeih uh tih BOEIPA kah hmueihtuk a koengloeng tangtae te a tlaih uh.
30And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down.
31A taengah BOEIPA ol pawk tih, “Na ming he Israel la om saeh,” a ti nah vanbangla Jakob ca rhoek kah koca tarhing ah Elijah loh lungto hlai nit a loh.
31And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be thy name:
32BOEIPA ming neh hmueihtuk lung te koep a khoeng tih hmueihtuk kaep ah cangti sum nit cet la tuilong a saii.
32And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD : and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.
33Thing te a hawn phoeiah vaito te a top tih thing soah a tloeng.
33And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood.
34Te phoeiah amrhaeng pali dongah tui than uh lamtah hmueihhlutnah soah khaw, thing soah khaw, bueih uh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah, “Talh dae,” a ti nah tih a talh uh. Te phoeiah, “Voei thum,” a ti nah tih voei thum a saii uh.
34And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.
35Tui te hmueihtuk kaepvai la long tih tuilong ah pataeng tui bae.
35And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.
36Khocang nawn tue a pha vaengah tonghma Elijah te thoeih tih, “Abraham, Isaak neh Israel Pathen Yahweh aw, tihnin ah namah te Pathen la Israel khuiah m'ming saeh. Na ol vanbangla kai he namah kah sal ni. Na ol bangla he hno cungkuem he ka saii.
36And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.
37Kai he n'doo lah, BOEIPA aw kai n'doo lah. Te daengah ni he pilnam loh nang Yahweh Pathen neh namah loh a hnuk la amih lungbuei na mael sak ham khaw a ming uh eh,” a ti nah.
37Hear me, O LORD , hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.
38Te vaengah BOEIPA kah hmai suntla tih hmueihhlutnah neh thing khaw, lungto neh laipi khaw a hlawp tih tuilong kah tui te a laeh.
38Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
39Pilnam cungkuem loh a hmuh vaengah a maelhmai dongla buluk uh tih, “Yahweh amah tah Pathen ni, Yahweh amah tah Pathen ni,” a ti uh.
39And when all the people saw it , they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD , he is the God; the LORD , he is the God.
40Elijah loh amih taengah, “Baal tonghma rhoek te tu uh, amih hlang te loeih boel saeh,” a ti nah. Amih te a tuuk uh phoeiah tah Elijah loh Kishon soklong la a suntlak puei tih pahoi a ngawn.
40And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.
41Te phoeiah Elijah loh Ahab te, “Khonal tlanthim ol halo coeng. Te dongah cet laeh, ca lamtah o laeh,” a ti nah.
41¶ And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.
42Te dongah Ahab te caak ham neh ok hamla cet. Tedae Elijah tah Karmel som la luei. Te phoeiah diklai la kuisu uh tih a maelhmai te a khuklu neh a khuklu laklo ah a khueh.
42So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees,
43Te phoeiah amah kah a tueihyoeih te, “Cet laeh lamtah tuipuei longpuei ke paelki,” a ti nah. Cet tih a paelki phoeiah, “Pakhat khaw om pawh,” a ti nah dongah voei rhih hil, “Mael dae,” a ti nah.
43And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.
44A voei rhih dongla a pha vaengah tah, “Khomai ca, tuipuei lamloh hlang kut bangla ha luei ke,” a ti nah. Te dongah, “Cet lamtah Ahab te, 'Hlah uh lamtah suntla laeh. Te daengah ni nang te khonal loh n'khaih pawt eh?,” ti nah,’ a ti nah.
44And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man’s hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot , and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.
45Rhaih, rhaih a om phoeiah tah vaan ah khomai hmuep tih khohli neh khonal tlanthim ha pawk. Ahab khaw a ngol neh Jezreel la cet.
45And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.
46BOEIPA kut te Elijah soah a om dongah a cinghen te a yen tih, nang, Jezreel la aka pawk ham Ahab hmai ah yong coeng.
46And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
