41 Toe sê El¡a vir Agab: Trek op, eet en drink, want hoor, die gedruis van die reën!

42 En Agab het opgetrek om te eet en te drink; maar El¡a het op die top van die Karmel geklim en hom op die grond neergebuig en sy aangesig tussen sy knieë gesteek.

43 Daarop sê hy vir sy dienaar: Klim tog op, kyk uit na die see. En hy het opgeklim en uitgekyk en geroep: Daar is niks nie. Toe sê hy: Gaan weer -- sewe maal.

44 En die sewende maal roep hy: Daar gaan 'n wolkie soos 'n man se hand op uit die see. Toe sê hy: Gaan op, sê vir Agab: Span in en trek af, dat die reën jou nie terughou nie.

45 En in 'n oogwink was die hemel swart van wolke en wind, en 'n groot reën het gekom; en Agab het op die wa geklim en weggetrek na J¡sreël;

41 Then Elijah said to Ahab, Up! take food and drink, for there is a sound of much rain.

42 So Ahab went up to have food and drink, while Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he went down on the earth, putting his face between his knees.

43 And he said to his servant, Go now, and take a look in the direction of the sea. And he went up, and after looking said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times; and he went seven times.

44 And the seventh time he said, I see a cloud coming up out of the sea, as small as a man's hand. Then he said, Go up and say to Ahab, Get your carriage ready and go down or the rain will keep you back.

45 And after a very little time, the heaven became black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab went in his carriage to Jezreel.
