列王纪上 19
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
以利亚逃亡
19 亚哈把以利亚做的一切事以及他怎样杀掉所有巴力先知的经过,都告诉了耶洗别, 2 耶洗别就派人去告诉以利亚,说:“明天这个时候,我若不使你像那些人一样丧命,愿神明重重地惩罚我。”
3 以利亚很害怕,连忙逃命,来到犹大的别示巴。他让仆人留在那里, 4 自己在旷野走了一天的路程,来到一棵罗腾树下,坐下来祷告求死,说:“耶和华啊,我受够了,求你取走我的性命吧,我不比我的祖先强。” 5 他躺在树下睡着了。有一位天使拍醒他,说:“起来吃东西吧。” 6 他睁开眼睛,见头边有用炭火烤好的饼和一瓶水。他吃喝完毕,又躺下来。 7 耶和华的天使第二次来拍醒他,说:“起来吃东西吧,你还要走很远的路。” 8 以利亚起来吃喝,就有了力气,走了四十昼夜,来到上帝的山——何烈山。
9 他进了一个山洞,在里面过夜。耶和华就问他:“以利亚,你在这里做什么?” 10 以利亚回答说:“我一向热心事奉万军之上帝耶和华。但以色列人背弃你的约,拆毁你的祭坛,残杀你的先知。现在只剩下我一个人,他们还要杀我。” 11 耶和华说:“你出来站在山上,站在我面前。”耶和华从那里经过时,疾风大作,劈山碎石,但耶和华不在风中。疾风过后又有地震,但耶和华不在其中。 12 地震之后又有火,但耶和华也不在火中。之后,传来微小的声音。 13 以利亚听见后,就用外袍蒙着脸出去站在洞口。那声音问他:“以利亚,你在这里做什么?” 14 以利亚回答说:“我一向热心事奉万军之上帝耶和华。但以色列人背弃你的约,拆毁你的祭坛,残杀你的先知。现在只剩下我一个人,他们还要杀我。” 15 耶和华吩咐他说:“你原路返回,前往大马士革附近的旷野,到了之后要膏立哈薛做亚兰王。 16 然后,再膏立宁示的孙子耶户做以色列王,还要膏立亚伯·米何拉人沙法的儿子以利沙做先知来接替你。 17 将来从哈薛刀下逃生的,必被耶户杀死;从耶户刀下逃生的,必被以利沙杀死。 18 此外,我在以色列留下七千人,他们未曾跪拜巴力,也未曾亲吻巴力。”
呼召以利沙
19 于是,以利亚离开那里,找到沙法的儿子以利沙,他正在耕田。他前面有十二对牛,他正赶着第十二对。以利亚走过以利沙身边时,将自己的外袍搭在他身上。 20 以利沙就撇下牛,追上以利亚说:“请你让我先回去与父母亲吻道别,再跟你走吧。”以利亚说:“你回去吧,别忘了我刚才对你做的事。” 21 以利沙就回去了。他宰了两头耕牛,用耕具作柴煮肉分给众人,然后去跟随以利亚,服侍他。
1 Hari 19
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Tumakas si Elias
19 Ngayon, sinabi ni Ahab sa asawa niyang si Jezebel ang lahat ng ginawa ni Elias, at kung paano nito pinagpapatay ang lahat ng propeta ni Baal. 2 Kaya nagpadala si Jezebel ng mensahe para kay Elias na nagsasabi, “Lubusan sana akong parusahan ng mga dios kung sa ganitong oras bukas ay hindi pa kita napapatay, tulad ng ginawa mo sa mga propeta.”
3 Natakot si Elias, kaya tumakas siya papunta sa Beersheba na sakop ng Juda, at iniwan niya roon ang utusan niya. 4 Pagkatapos, naglakad siya ng isang araw papuntang ilang. Nagpahinga siya at umupo sa ilalim ng punongkahoy at nanalangin na mamatay na lang sana siya. Sinabi niya, “Sobra na po ito Panginoon! Kunin na lang ninyo ang buhay ko, wala naman akong ipinagkaiba sa aking mga ninuno.” 5 Pagkatapos, humiga siya sa ilalim ng punongkahoy, at nakatulog.
Biglang may anghel na kumalabit sa kanya at sinabi, “Bumangon ka at kumain.” 6 Pagdilat niya, may nakita siyang tinapay sa ulunan niya, na niluto sa mainit na bato, at tubig na nakalagay sa sisidlan. Kumain siya at uminom, at nahigang muli. 7 Muling bumalik ang anghel ng Panginoon, kinalabit si Elias at sinabi, “Bumangon ka at kumain, dahil malayo pa ang iyong lalakbayin.” 8 Kaya bumangon si Elias, kumain, at uminom. Pinalakas siya ng kanyang kinain, at naglakbay siya sa loob ng 40 araw at 40 gabi, hanggang makarating siya sa Horeb,[a] ang bundok ng Dios. 9 Pumasok siya sa isang kweba at doon natulog kinagabihan.
Nakipag-usap ang Panginoon kay Elias
Ngayon, sinabi sa kanya ng Panginoon, “Ano ang ginagawa mo rito Elias?” 10 Sumagot siya, “O Panginoon, Dios na Makapangyarihan, tapat po akong naglilingkod sa inyo. Pero itinakwil ng mga Israelita ang kasunduan nila sa inyo, winasak nila ang mga altar ninyo, at pinagpapatay ang mga propeta ninyo. Ako na lang po ang natira, at pinagsisikapan din nila akong patayin.” 11 Nagsalita ang Panginoon, “Lumabas ka at tumayo sa ibabaw ng bundok sa aking presensya, dahil dadaan ako.” Pagkatapos, may dumaan na napakalakas na hangin, na bumitak sa mga bundok at dumurog sa mga bato, pero wala ang Panginoon sa hangin. Pagkatapos ng hangin, lumindol, pero wala rin ang Panginoon sa lindol. 12 Pagkatapos ng lindol, may apoy na dumating, pero wala pa rin ang Panginoon sa apoy. Pagkatapos ng apoy, may narinig siyang tinig na parang bulong. 13 Nang marinig ito ni Elias, nagtakip siya ng kanyang mukha gamit ang kanyang balabal, lumabas siya at tumayo sa bungad ng kweba. Biglang may tinig na nagsabi sa kanya, “Ano ang ginagawa mo rito, Elias?” 14 Sumagot siya, “O Panginoon, Dios na Makapangyarihan, tapat po akong naglilingkod sa inyo, pero itinakwil ng mga Israelita ang kasunduan nila sa inyo, winasak nila ang mga altar ninyo, at pinagpapatay ang mga propeta ninyo. Ako na lang po ang natitira, at pinagsisikapan din nila akong patayin.” 15 Nagsalita ang Panginoon sa kanya, “Bumalik ka sa iyong dinaanan, at pumunta sa ilang ng Damascus. Pagdating mo roon, pahiran mo ng langis si Hazael bilang pagkilala na siya na ang hari ng Aram.[b] 16 Pahiran mo rin si Jehu na anak ni Nimsi bilang hari ng Israel, at si Eliseo na anak ni Shafat, na taga-Abel Mehola, para pumalit sa iyo bilang propeta. 17 Papatayin ni Hazael ang mga sumasamba kay Baal. Ang makakatakas sa kanyaʼy papatayin ni Jehu, at ang makakatakas kay Jehu ay papatayin ni Eliseo. 18 Pero ililigtas ko ang 7,000 Israelita na hindi lumuhod at humalik sa imahen ni Baal.”
Ang Pagtawag kay Eliseo
19 Umalis doon si Elias at nakita niya si Eliseo na anak ni Shafat, na nag-aararo. May labing-isang pares na baka sa unahan niya na gamit ng kanyang mga kasama sa pag-aararo, at gamit naman niya ang ikalabindalawang pares ng baka. Lumapit si Elias sa kanya, hinubad ang kanyang balabal at pinasa ito kay Eliseo. 20 Iniwan ni Eliseo ang mga baka at hinabol si Elias. Sinabi ni Eliseo, “Hahalik po muna ako sa aking amaʼt ina bilang pamamaalam at saka po ako sasama sa inyo.” Sumagot si Elias, “Sige, pero huwag mong kalimutan ang ginawa ko sa iyo.”
21 Bumalik si Eliseo, kinuha ang kanyang mga baka, at kinatay. Ginawa niyang panggatong sa pagluluto ng karne ng mga baka ang mga kagamitan sa pag-aararo. Pagkaluto, binigyan niya ang kanyang mga kasamang nag-aararo, at kumain silang lahat. At agad siyang sumunod kay Elias para maging lingkod nito.
1 Kings 19
King James Version
19 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time.
3 And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongeth 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: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.
5 And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.
6 And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again.
7 And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee.
8 And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.
9 And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?
10 And he said, I have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake:
12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
13 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
14 And he said, I have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
15 And the Lord said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria:
16 And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.
17 And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.
18 Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.
19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him.
20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee?
21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.
1 Kings 19
New International Version
Elijah Flees to Horeb
19 Now Ahab told Jezebel(A) everything Elijah had done and how he had killed(B) all the prophets with the sword. 2 So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah to say, “May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely,(C) if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one of them.”(D)
3 Elijah was afraid[a] and ran(E) for his life.(F) When he came to Beersheba(G) in Judah, he left his servant there, 4 while he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness. He came to a broom bush,(H) sat down under it and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life;(I) I am no better than my ancestors.” 5 Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep.(J)
All at once an angel(K) touched him and said, “Get up and eat.” 6 He looked around, and there by his head was some bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again.
7 The angel of the Lord came back a second time and touched him and said, “Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you.” 8 So he got up and ate and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty(L) days and forty nights until he reached Horeb,(M) the mountain of God. 9 There he went into a cave(N) and spent the night.
The Lord Appears to Elijah
And the word of the Lord came to him: “What are you doing here, Elijah?”(O)
10 He replied, “I have been very zealous(P) for the Lord God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant,(Q) torn down your altars,(R) and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left,(S) and now they are trying to kill me too.”
11 The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain(T) in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.”(U)
Then a great and powerful wind(V) tore the mountains apart and shattered(W) the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake came a fire,(X) but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.(Y) 13 When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face(Z) and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.
Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
14 He replied, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left,(AA) and now they are trying to kill me too.”
15 The Lord said to him, “Go back the way you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you get there, anoint Hazael(AB) king over Aram. 16 Also, anoint(AC) Jehu son of Nimshi king over Israel, and anoint Elisha(AD) son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah(AE) to succeed you as prophet. 17 Jehu will put to death any who escape the sword of Hazael,(AF) and Elisha will put to death any who escape the sword of Jehu.(AG) 18 Yet I reserve(AH) seven thousand in Israel—all whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and whose mouths have not kissed(AI) him.”
The Call of Elisha
19 So Elijah went from there and found Elisha son of Shaphat. He was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen, and he himself was driving the twelfth pair. Elijah went up to him and threw his cloak(AJ) around him. 20 Elisha then left his oxen and ran after Elijah. “Let me kiss my father and mother goodbye,”(AK) he said, “and then I will come with you.”
“Go back,” Elijah replied. “What have I done to you?”
21 So Elisha left him and went back. He took his yoke of oxen(AL) and slaughtered them. He burned the plowing equipment to cook the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out to follow Elijah and became his servant.(AM)

Elijah Escapes from Jezebel
19 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, also how he had (A)executed all the prophets with the sword. 2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, (B)“So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.” 3 And when he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and went 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 [a]broom tree. And he (C)prayed that he might die, and said, “It is enough! Now, Lord, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!”
5 Then as he lay and slept under a broom tree, suddenly an [b]angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat.” 6 Then he looked, and there by his head was a cake baked on [c]coals, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank, and lay down again. 7 And the [d]angel of the Lord came back the second time, and touched him, and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.” 8 So he arose, and ate and drank; and he went in the strength of that food forty days and (D)forty nights as far as (E)Horeb, the mountain of God.
9 And there he went into a cave, and spent the night in that place; and behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and He said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
10 So he said, (F)“I have been very (G)zealous for the Lord God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and (H)killed Your prophets with the sword. (I)I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.”
God’s Revelation to Elijah
11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand (J)on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord (K)passed by, and (L)a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire [e]a still small voice.
13 So it was, when Elijah heard it, that (M)he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. (N)Suddenly a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
14 (O)And he said, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God of hosts; because the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.”
15 Then the Lord said to him: “Go, return on your way to the Wilderness of Damascus; (P)and when you arrive, anoint Hazael as king over Syria. 16 Also you shall anoint (Q)Jehu the son of Nimshi as king over Israel. And (R)Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place. 17 (S)It shall be that whoever escapes the sword of Hazael, Jehu will (T)kill; and whoever escapes the sword of Jehu, (U)Elisha will kill. 18 (V)Yet I have reserved seven thousand in Israel, all whose knees have not bowed to Baal, (W)and every mouth that has not kissed him.”
Elisha Follows Elijah
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 was with the twelfth. Then Elijah passed by him and threw his (X)mantle on him. 20 And he left the oxen and ran after Elijah, and said, (Y)“Please let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.”
And he said to him, “Go back again, for what have I done to you?”
21 So Elisha turned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen and slaughtered them and (Z)boiled their flesh, using the oxen’s equipment, and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he arose and followed Elijah, and became his servant.
