1Elijah kah a saii boeih, tonghma boeih cunghang neh a pum la a ngawn te khaw Ahab loh Jezebel taengah a puen pah.
1And Achab told Jezabel all that Elias had done, and how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
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.
2And Jezabel sent a messenger to Elias, saying: Such and such things may the gods do to me, and add still more, if by this hour tomorrow I make not thy life as the life of one of them.
3A rhih dongah thoo tih a hinglu hamla yong. Judah kah Beersheba a pha vaengah a tueihyoeih te pahoi a om tak.
3Then Elias was afraid, and rising up he went whithersoever he had a mind: and he came to Bersabee of Juda, and left his servant there,
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.
4And he went forward, one day’s journey into the desert. And when he was there, and sat under a juniper tree, he requested for his soul that he might die, and said: It is enough for me, Lord, take away my soul: for I am no better than my fathers.
5Yalh tih hlingcet hmui ah a ih vaengah puencawn loh anih te tarha a taek tih, “Thoo lamtah Ca laeh,” a ti nah.
5And he cast himself down, and slept in the shadow of the juniper tree: and behold an angel of the Lord touched him, and said to him: Arise and eat.
6A paelki hatah a lu ah cangrhoh buh neh tui um lawt a om pah. Te dongah a caak a ok tih koep yalh.
6He looked, and behold there was at his head a hearth cake, and a vessel of water: and he ate and drank, and he fell asleep again.
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.
7And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and said to him: Arise, eat: for thou hast yet a great way to go.
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.
8And he arose, and ate, and drank, and walked in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights, unto the mount of God, Horeb.
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.
9And when he was come thither, he abode in a cave: and behold the word of the Lord came unto him, and he said to him: What dost thou here, Elias?
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.
10And he answered: With zeal have I been zealous for the Lord God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant: they have thrown down thy altars, they have slain thy prophets with the sword, and I alone am left, and they seek my life to take it away.
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.
11And he said to him: Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord: and behold the Lord passeth, and a great and strong wind before the Lord over throwing the mountains, and breaking the rocks in pieces: the Lord is not in the wind, and after the wind an earthquake: the Lord is not in the earthquake.
12Lingluei hnukah hmai om dae hmai khuiah BOEIPA a om moenih. Hmai hnuk ah tah bidip ol dingsuek la om.
12And after the earthquake a fire: the Lord is not in the fire, and after the fire a whistling of a gentle air.
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.
13And when Elias heard it, he covered his face with his mantle, and coming forth stood in the entering in of the cave, and behold a voice unto him, saying: What dost thou here, Elias? And he answered:
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.
14With zeal have I been zealous for the Lord God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant: they have destroyed thy altars, they have slain thy prophets with the sword, and I alone am left, and they seek my life to take it away.
15BOEIPA loh anih te, “Cet lamtah na longpuei te khosoek la hoi laeh. Damasku na pha vaengah Hazael te Aram kah manghai la koelh.
15And the Lord said to him: Go, and return on thy way through the desert to Damascus: and when thou art come thither, thou shalt anoint Hazael to be king over Syria.
16Nimshi capa Jehu te Israel kah manghai la koelh laeh. Abelmeholath lamkah Shaphat capa Elisha te namah yueng tonghma la koelh.
16And thou shalt anoint Jehu the son of Namsi to be king over Israel: and Eliseus the son of Saphat, of Abelmeula, thou shalt anoint to be prophet in thy room.
17Hazael cunghang lamkah aka loeih te Jehu loh a duek sak vetih Jehu cunghang lamkah aka loeih te Elisha loh a duek sak ni.
17And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall escape the sword of Hazael, shall be slain by Jehu: and whosoever shall escape the sword of Jehu, shall be slain by Eliseus.
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.
18And I will leave me seven thousand men in Israel, whose knees have not been bowed before Baal, and every mouth that hath not worshipped him kissing the hands.
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.
19And Elias departing from thence, found Eliseus the son of Saphat, ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen: and he was one of them that were ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen: and when Elias came up to him, he cast his mantle upon him.
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.
20And he forthwith left the oxen and ran after Elias, and said: Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said to him: Go, and return back: for that which was my part, I have done to thee.
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.
21And returning back from him, he took a yoke of oxen, and killed them, and boiled the flesh with the plough of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate: and rising up he went away, and followed Elias, and ministered to him.
