1 Reis 19

1 Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. 2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, "So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I don’t make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time!"

3 When he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there. 4 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree. Then he requested for himself that he might die, and said, "It is enough. Now, O Yahweh, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers."

5 He lay down and slept under a juniper tree; and behold, an angel touched him, and said to him, "Arise and eat!"

6 He looked, and behold, there was at his head a cake baked on the coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank, and lay down again. 7 Yahweh’s angel came again the second time, and touched him, and said, "Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you."

8 He arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb, God’s Mountain. 9 He came to a cave there, and camped there; and behold, Yahweh’s word came to him, and he said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"

10 He said, "I have been very jealous for Yahweh, the God of Armies; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away."

11 He said, "Go out and stand on the mountain before Yahweh."

Behold, Yahweh passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before Yahweh; but Yahweh was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake; but Yahweh was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake a fire passed; but Yahweh was not in the fire. After the fire, there was a still small voice. 13 When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle, went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. Behold, a voice came to him, and said, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"

14 He said, "I have been very jealous for Yahweh, the God of Armies; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away."

15 Yahweh said to him, "Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus. When you arrive, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria. 16 Anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi to be king over Israel; and anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah to be prophet in your place. 17 He who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and he who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill. 18 Yet I reserved seven thousand in Israel, all the knees of that have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth which has not kissed him."

19 So he departed from there and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth. Elijah went over to him and put his mantle on him. 20 Elisha left the oxen and ran after Elijah, and said, "Let me please kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you."

He said to him, "Go back again; for what have I done to you?"

21 He returned from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, killed them, and boiled their meat with the oxen’s equipment, and gave to the people; and they ate. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and served him.

Ko Irāia kei Maunga Horepa

1 Nā, ka kōrerotia e Āhapa ki a Ietēpere ngā mea katoa i mea ai a Irāia, me ngā meatanga katoa i tāna whakamatenga i ngā poropiti katoa ki te hoari. 2 Kātahi a Ietēpere ka tono tangata ki a Irāia hei kī atu, "Kia meatia tēnei ki ahau e ngā atua, me ētahi atu mea, ki te kāhore ahau e mea i a koe i tēnei takiwā āpōpō kia rite te mate ki tētahi o rātou i mate rā."

3 Ā, ka kite ia, nā whakatika ana, haere ana, he mea kei mate, ā, ka tae ki Peerehepa o Hūrā. Nā, ka whakarērea e ia tāna tangata ki reira. 4 Ko ia ia haere ki te koraha, kotahi te rā ki te ara, ā, ka tae, ka noho i raro i tētahi hunipa; ā, ka īnoi ia mōna kia mate ia; ā, ka mea, "Heoi rā, ināianei, e Ihowā, tangohia atu tōku wairua; kāhore hoki ahau i pai ake i ōku mātua." 5 Nā, ka takoto ia, ka moe i raro i tētahi hunipa.

Nā, ko tētahi anahera e papaki ana i a ia, e mea ana ki a ia, "Maranga ki te kai." 6 Nā, titiro rawa ake ia, ko tētahi keke, he mea tunu ki te pungarehu, me tētahi ipu wai i tōna urunga. Nā, kai ana ia, inu ana, ā, takoto iho ana anō.

7 Nā, ka hoki mai anō te anahera a Ihowā, ā, ka papaki i a ia, ka mea, "Maranga ki te kai; he roa rawa hoki te ara mōu, e kore e taea e koe." 8 Nā, maranga ana ia, ā, kai ana, inu ana, ā, haere ana, me te mau anō te mana o taua kai, e whā tekau ngā rā, e whā tekau ngā pō ā tae noa ki Horepa, ki te maunga o te Atua. 9 Nā, haere ana ia ki reira ki tētahi ana, ā, moe ana i reira.

Ka Puta mai a Ihowā ki a Irāia

Nā, ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowā ki a ia; i mea ia: "E aha ana koe i konei, e Irāia?"

10 Ā, ka mea tērā, "Nui atu tōku hae mō Ihowā, mō te Atua o ngā mano; kua whakarērea hoki tāu kawenata e ngā tama a Īharaira, ā, ko āu āta, wāhia iho e rātou, patua iho hoki e rātou āu poropiti ki te hoari. Ā, ko ahau, ko ahau rawa anake i mahue; ā, kei te rapu rātou i ahau kia whakamatea."

11 Nā, ka mea ia, "Puta mai, ka tū ki te maunga ki te aroaro o Ihowā."

Nā, ko te haerenga atu o Ihowā, he nui anō te hau, he kaha, e whakakōara ana i ngā maunga, e wāhi ana i ngā kōhatu i te aroaro o Ihowā. Otiia, kāhore a Ihowā i roto i te hau; ā muri iho i te hau ko te rū; otiia kāhore a Ihowā i roto i te rū. 12 Ā, i muri o te rū ko te ahi; otiia kāhore a Ihowā i roto i te ahi; ā, i muri i te ahi ko te reo ngāwari, he mea iti. 13 Ā, nō te rongonga o Irāia ka hīpokina e ia tōna mata ki tōna koroka, ā, haere ana, tū ana i te kūwaha o te ana.

Nā, ko te putanga mai o tētahi reo ki a ia, ka mea, "E aha ana koe i konei, e Irāia?"

14 Anō rā ko tērā, "Nui atu tōku hae mō Ihowā, mō te Atua o ngā mano; kua whakarērea hoki tāu kawenata e ngā tama a Īharaira, ko āu āta, wāhia iho e rātou, patua iho e rātou āu poropiti ki te hoari. Ā, ko ahau, ko ahau rawa anake i mahue; ā, kei te rapu rātou i ahau kia whakamatea."

15 Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki a ia, "Haere, e hoki i tōu ara ki te koraha o Ramahiku, ā, ka tae koe, whakawahia a Hataere hei kīngi mō Hīria. 16 Ā, whakawahia a Iehu tama a Nimihi hei kīngi mō Īharaira; me whakawahi anō a Eriha tama a Hāpata o Āperemehora hei poropiti i muri i a koe. 17 Nā, ko te hunga e mawhiti i te hoari a Hataere mā Iehu e whakamate; ko te hunga e mawhiti i te hoari a Iehu mā Eriha e whakamate. 18 Otiia ka whakatoea e ahau māku e whitu ngā mano i roto i a Īharaira, ko ngā turi katoa kīhai anō i tūturi ki a Paara, me ngā māngai katoa kīhai i kihi i a ia."

Te Karanga o Eriha

19 Heoi, haere atu ana ia i reira, ā, ka tūpono ki a Eriha tama a Hāpata, e parau ana ia, me ngā kau i ngā ioka kotahi tekau mā rua i tōna aroaro, ko ia i te tekau mā rua. Nā, haere ana a Irāia i tōna taha, ā, makā ana e ia tōna koroka ki runga ki a ia.

20 Nā, whakarērea ake e tērā ngā kau, ā, rere ana ki te whai i a Irāia, ā, ka mea, "Tukua ahau kia kihi i tōku pāpā, i tōku whaea, ka haere ai ki te whai i a koe."

Anō rā ko tērā ki a ia, "Haere, e hoki; i aha hoki ahau ki a koe?"

21 Nā, hoki ana tērā i te whai i a ia, ā, ka mau ki ngā kau o tētahi ioka, patua iho, kōhuatia iho ō rāua kikokiko ki ngā mea o ngā kau, hoatu ana e ia te kikokiko ki ngā tāngata, ā, kainga ana e rātou. Nā, whakatika ana ia, haere ana ki te whai i a Irāia, ā, mahi ana ki a ia.
