1 Kings 18
1 And 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.
Yeroo dheeraa booddee, waggaa sadaffaatti dubbiin Waaqayyoo, “Dhaqiitii Ahaabitti of mulʼisi; anis lafa irratti bokkaa nan roobsaa” jedhee gara Eeliyaas dhufe.
2 And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. And the famine was sore in Samaria.
Kanaafuu Eeliyaas Ahaabitti of mulʼisuu dhaqe. Yeroo kanatti Samaariyaa keessatti beelli hammaatee ture.
3 And Ahab called Obadiah, which was over the household. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly:
Ahaabis Obaadiyaa itti gaafatama masaraa mootummaa isaa waamee ture. Obaadiyaan nama akka malee Waaqayyoon sodaatu ture.
4 for it was so, when Jezebel cut off 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.)
Yeroo Iizaabel raajota Waaqayyoo ajjeesaa turtetti Obaadiyaan raajota dhibba tokko fuudhee shantama shantamaan holqa lama keessa dhoksee nyaataa fi bishaan dhiʼeessaafii ture.
5 And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go through the land, unto all the fountains of water, and unto all the brooks: peradventure we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.
Ahaabis Obaadiyaadhaan akkana jedhe; “Biyyattii keessa deemiitii gara burqaawwanii fi sululawwan hundaa dhaqi. Akka horii keenya keessaa tokko iyyuu nu jalaa hin duuneef fardeenii fi gaangolii keenya jiraachifachuuf marga muraasa arganna taʼaatii.”
6 So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
Kanaafuu isaan biyya keessa deemanii waliin gaʼuu barbaadan sana gargari qooddatan; Ahaab karaa tokko, Obaadiyaan immoo karaa kaan qajeele.
7 And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Is it thou, my lord Elijah?
Utuma Obaadiyaan karaa deemuu Eeliyaas isatti dhufe. Obaadiyaan isa beekee gad jedhee harka fuudhee, “Eeliyaas gooftaan koo dhugumaan siʼii?” jedheen.
8 And he answered him, It is I: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah [is here].
Innis deebisee, “Eeyyee, anuma. Dhaqiitii, ‘Eeliyaas as jira’ jedhii gooftaa keetti himi” jedheen.
9 And he said, Wherein have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?
Obaadiyaanis akkana jedhee gaafate; “Ati akka inni na ajjeesuuf garbicha kee dabarsitee Ahaabitti kennuun kee ani maal balleesseeti?
10 As 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 here, he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not.
Dhugaa Waaqayyo Waaqa kee jiraataa sanaa, sabni yookaan mootummaan gooftaan koo si barbaaduuf jedhee nama itti hin ergin tokko iyyuu hin jiru. Yeroo sabni yookaan mootummaan tokko, ‘Nu isa hin argine’ jedhutti, inni akka isaan akka si hin argin kakatan godha ture.
11 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah [is here].
Amma garuu ati, ‘Dhaqiitii, “Kunoo Eeliyaas as jira” jedhiitii gooftaa keetti himi’ naan jetta.
12 And 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.
Ani gara Hafuurri Waaqayyoo erga ani si biraa deeme itti si geessu hin beeku. Yoo ani dhaqee Ahaabitti himee inni immoo si arguu baate inni na ajjeesa. Garuu ani garbichi kee dargaggummaa kootii jalqabee Waaqayyoon waaqeffachaan jira.
13 Was 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 an water?
Yaa gooftaa ko, ati waan ani yeroo Iizaabel raajota Waaqayyoo ajjeesaa turtetti hojjedhe hin dhageenyee? Ani raajota Waaqayyoo dhibba tokko shantama shantamaan holqa lama keessa dhokseen nyaataa fi bishaan dhiʼeesseef.
14 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah: [is here]: and he shall slay me.
Amma immoo ati, ‘Dhaqiitii, “Kunoo Eeliyaas as jira” jedhii gooftaa keetti himi’ naan jetta. Inni dhugumaan na ajjeesa!”
15 And Elijah said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely shew myself unto him today.
Eeliyaasis deebisee, “Dhugaa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu kan ani isa tajaajilu sanaa, ani harʼa Ahaabitti ofan mulʼisa” jedhe.
16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
Kanaafuu Obaadiyaan gara Ahaab dhaqee itti hime; Ahaabis Eeliyaasin Simachuu dhaqe.
17 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Is it thou, thou troubler of Israel?
Innis Eeliyaasin argee, “Kan Israaʼelin jeequ sun siʼii?” jedheen.
18 And 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 the Baalim.
Eeliyaas immoo deebisee akkana jedheen; “Siʼii fi mana abbaa keetiitu jeeqe malee ani Israaʼelin hin jeeqne. Isin ajaja Waaqayyoo diddaniirtu; atis Baʼaal duukaa buuteerta.
19 Now 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 Asherah four hundred, which eat at Jezebel’s table.
Egaa amma akka isaan Tulluu Qarmeloos irratti na arganiif saba Israaʼel hunda walitti naaf waami. Raajota Baʼaal dhibba afurii fi shantamaa fi raajota Asheeraa dhibba afran maaddii Iizaabel irraa nyaatan sanas naaf fidi.”
20 So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.
Kanaafis Ahaab guutuu Israaʼel keessa ergaa ergee Tulluu Qarmeloos irratti raajota sana walitti qabe.
21 And Elijah came near 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.
Eeliyaasis fuula sabaa duratti gad baʼee, “Isin hamma yoomiitti yaada lama gidduu deddeebitu? Yoo Waaqayyo Waaqa taʼe, isa faana deemaa; yoo Baʼaal Waaqa taʼe immoo isa faana deemaa” jedhe. Sabni garuu waan tokko illee hin jenne.
22 Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, am left a prophet of the LORD; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
Eeliyaasis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Raajota Waaqayyoo keessaa ana qofatu hafe; Baʼaal garuu raajota dhibba afurii fi shantama qaba.
23 Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under.
Mee jiboota lama nuuf fidaa. Isaan dibicha tokko ofii isaaniitiif filatanii qalanii gargar ciranii qoraan irra haa naqan; garuu ibidda itti hin qabsiisin. Anis dibicha isa kaan qopheessee qoraan irra nan kaaʼa; garuu ibidda itti hin qabsiisu.
24 And call ye on the name of your god, 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.
Ergasii isin maqaa Waaqa keessanii waamaa; anis maqaa Waaqayyo nan waama. Kan ibiddaan deebii kennu inni Waaqa dhugaa ti.” Kana irratti namoonni hundinuu, “Wanni ati jettu kun gaarii dha” jedhan.
25 And 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 god, but put no fire under.
Eeliyaasis raajota Baʼaaliin akkana jedhe; “Jiboota keessaa isa tokko filadhaatii sababii isin nama hedduu taataniif jalqabatti qalaa qopheessaa. Maqaa Waaqa keessanii waammadhaa; garuu ibidda hin bobeessinaa.”
26 And 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 about the altar which was made.
Kanaafuu isaan dibicha isaaniif kenname fudhatanii qalanii qopheessan. Ergasii immoo ganamaa jalqabanii hamma saafaatti maqaa Baʼaal waammachaa oolan. “Yaa Baʼaal deebii nuuf kenni!” jedhanii iyyaa oolan. Garuu deebiin tokko illee hin argamne; kan deebii kennuuf tokko iyyuus hin turre. Iddoo aarsaa kan tolchan sanattis naannaʼanii shubbisan.
27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is musing, or he is gone aside, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.
Gara saafaattis Eeliyaas, “Mee sagalee ol fudhadhaatii iyyaa! Inni dhugumaan Waaqa! Yaadni itti baayʼateera taʼa yookaan hojiin qabamee yookaan karaa deemee jira taʼaatii. Inni rafuutti jira taʼaatii dammaquu qaba” jedhee isaanitti qoosuu jalqabe.
28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lances, till the blood gushed out upon them.
Kanaafuu isaan akkuma amala isaanii sagalee ol fudhatanii iyyaa, goraadee fi eeboodhaan of ciranii dhiiga ofii isaanii dhangalaasan.
29 And it was so, when midday was past, that they prophesied until the time of the offering of the [evening] oblation; but there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.
Erga saafaan darbees isaan hamma yeroon aarsaa galgalaa gaʼutti raajii dubbachaa turan. Garuu sagaleen tokko iyyuu hin dhagaʼamne; kan deebii kenneef tokko iyyuu hin turre; kan wayittuu isaan hedes hin jiru.
30 And 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 thrown down.
Eeliyaas immoo ergasii saba hundaan, “Mee as gara koo kottaa” jedhe. Isaan gara isaa dhufnaan inni iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoo kan caccabee ture sana deebisee tolche.
31 And 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.
Eeliyaasis akkuma baayʼina gosoota ilmaan Yaaqoob namicha dubbiin Waaqayyoo gara isaa dhufee, “Maqaan kee Israaʼel ni taʼa” jedheen sanaatti dhagaa kudha lama walitti qabe.
32 And 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.
Dhagaawwan sanaanis maqaa Waaqayyootiin iddoo aarsaa tolche; naannoo isaattis boʼoo bishaan gara liitira kudha shan qabatu baqaqse.
33 And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it on the wood. And he said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt offering, and on the wood.
Innis qoraan qopheessee, dibicha kaan qalee gargar ciree qoraan sana irra foon naqe. Ergasii immoo, “Mee okkotee gurguddaa afur fidaa bishaaniin guutaatii aarsaa fi qoraan irratti naqaa” jedheen.
34 And 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.
Innis, “Amma illee akkasuma godhaa” jedheen; isaanis amma illee akkasuma godhan. Innis, “Yeroo sadaffaaf godhaa” jedhee ajaje; isaanis yeroo sadaffaa illee akkasuma godhan.
35 And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.
Bishaan sunis naannoo iddoo aarsaa sanaa lolaʼee boʼoo guute.
36 And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the [evening] oblation, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, O LORD, the God of Abraham, of 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.
Yeroo aarsaan dhiʼaatutti, Eeliyaas raajichi gad baʼee akkana jedhee kadhate; “Yaa Waaqayyo, yaa Waaqa Abrahaam, Waaqa Yisihaaq, Waaqa Israaʼel, akka ati Israaʼel keessatti Waaqa taatee fi akka anis garbicha kee taʼee amma illee waan kana hunda ajajuma keetiin akkan hojjedhe harʼa haa beekamu.
37 Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou, LORD, art God, and [that] thou hast turned their heart back again.
Yaa Waaqayyo deebii naa kenni; yaa Waaqayyo akka sabni kun akka ati Waaqa taatee fi akka ati garaa isaa illee gara keetti deebiftu beekuuf deebii naaf kenni.”
38 Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
Kana irratti ibiddi Waaqayyoo gad buʼee aarsaa, qoraan, dhagaa fi biyyoo gubee bishaan boʼoo keessaa sanas xuuxee fixe.
39 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is God; the LORD, he is God.
Namoonni hundinuu yommuu waan kana arganitti addaan lafatti gombifamanii, “Waaqayyo inni Waaqa! Waaqayyo inni Waaqa!” jedhanii iyyan.
40 and 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.
Eeliyaasis, “Raajota Baʼaal kanneen qabaa. Tokkoon isaanii iyyuu hin miliqin!” jedhee isaan ajaje. Isaanis jara ni qaban; Eeliyaasis gara Sulula Qiishoonitti geessee achitti isaan gogorraʼe.
41 And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain.
Eeliyaasis Ahaabiin, “Deemi; nyaadhuu dhugi; huursaa bokkaa guddaa isaatu dhagaʼamaa jiraatii” jedhe.
42 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees.
Kanaafuu Ahaab nyaachuu fi dhuguuf deeme; Eeliyaas garuu fiixee Qarmeloos ol baʼee gad jedhee fuula isaa jilba isaa gidduu kaaʼate.
43 And he 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.
Innis hojjetaa isaatiin, “Dhaqiitii gara galaanaa ilaali” jedhe. Hojjetaan sunis ol baʼee ilaale. Innis, “Wanni tokko iyyuu achi hin jiru” jedhe. Eeliyaasis, “Yeroo torba, deddeebiʼii ilaali” jedheen.
44 And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a cloud out of the sea, as small as a man’s hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Make ready [thy chariot], and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.
Hojjetaan sun yeroo torbaffaatti, “Duumessa xinnaa hamma konyee namaa gaʼu tokkotu galaana irraa ol kaʼaa jira” jedhee itti hime. Kanaafuu Eeliyaas, “Dhaqiitii Ahaabiin, ‘Gaarii kee yaabbadhuutii utuu bokkaan si hin qabatin gad buʼi’ jedhii itti himi” jedheen.
45 And it came to pass in a little while, that the heaven grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.
Yeruma sana samiin duumessaan gurraachaʼee bubbeen bubbise; bokkaan guddaan isaa dhufnaan Ahaab gulufee Yizriʼeelitti baqate.
46 and the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
Humni Waaqayyoos Eeliyaas irra buʼe; innis mudhii isaa hidhatee hamma karra Yizriʼeelitti Ahaab dura darbee fiige.
