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.

42 Ahab meni aterioimaan. Mutta Elia nousi Karmelille, kumartui maahan ja painoi kasvonsa polviensa väliin.

45 Siinä samassa myrskypilvet synkensivät taivaan ja alkoi rankkasade. Ahab nousi vaunuihin ja lähti Jisreeliin.
