1 Achaab (Ahab) nagad (told) Ayazabal (Jezebel) all that Alayah (Elijah) ishah (make) done, and how he had harag (kill) all the nabayaayam (prophets) with the charab (sword).
2 Then Ayazabal (Jezebel) shalach (send) a malaak (angel / messenger of Yah) to Alayah (Elijah), amar (spoke), “So let the Alahayam () ishah (make) to me, and more also, if I don't shawam (place / establish / appoint) your napash (soul) as the napash (soul) of achad (one) of them by machar (tomorrow) about this ith (time)!”
3 When he raah (see / saw) that, he qawam (rise up), and yalak (went) for his napash (soul), and bawaa (bring) to Baar-Shabai (Beersheba), which belongs to Yahawadah (Yahawadah / Judah), and yanach (left) his nair (servant) there.
4 But he himself halak (move) a yawam (day) darak (journey) into the madabar (wilderness), and bawaa (come) and yashab (inhabit/dwell) down under a ratham (juniper) tree: and he shaal (requested) for himself that he might mawath (death), and amar (spoke), “It is rab (enough). Now, O Yahawah (), laqach (take / seize) away my napash (soul); for I am not tawab (good / proper function) than my ab (father).”
5 He shakab (lay) down and yashan (slept) under a ratham (juniper) tree; and behold, an malaak (angel / messenger of Yah) nagai (touched) him, and amar (said) to him, “qawam (rise up) and akal (eat)!”
6 He nabat (looked), and behold, there was at his maraashah (head) a igah (cake) baked on the ratzapayam (coals), and a jar of mayam (Waters). He akal (eat) and shathah (drinks), and shakab (lay) down again.
7 The malaak (angel / messenger of Yah) of Yahawah () shawab (turn back / repent) again the shanay (second) time, and nagai (touched) him, and amar (spoke), “qawam (rise up) and akal (eat), darak (because) the journey is rab (too) great for you.”
8 He qawam (rise up), and akal (eat) and shathah (drinks), and yalak (went) in the kach (strength / mighty / power) of that food arabaiyam (forty) yawam (day) and arabaiyam (forty) layal (nights) to Charab (Horeb) the har (mountain) of Alahayam ().
9 He bawaa (come) there to a mairah (cave), and lawan (lodged) there; and behold, the dabar (word / matter) of Yahawah () came to him, and he amar (spoke) to him, “What are you doing here, Alayah (Elijah)?”
10 He amar (spoke), “I have been very qanaa (jealous) for Yahawah (), the Alahayam () of tzabaawath (armies); for the banay (children) of Yashar-Al (Israel) have forsaken your barayath (covenant), haras (thrown) down your mazabach (altars), and harag (kill) your nabayaa (prophet/prophecy) with the charab (sword). I, even I only, am yathar (left); and they baqash (seek) my napash (soul), to laqach (take / seize) it away.”
11 He amar (spoke), “yatzaa (go out / come out) out, and imad (stand) on the har (mountain) panayam (face) Yahawah ().” Behold, Yahawah () ibar (pass over/through) by, and a gadawal (very great/important/mighty) and chazaq (strong) rawach (spirit / wind) paraq (tore) the harayam (mountains), and shabar (broke) in pieces the salaiyam (rocks) panayam (face) Yahawah (); but Yahawah () was not in the rawach (spirit / wind). Achar (other) the rawach (spirit / wind) an raish (earthquake); but Yahawah () was not in the raish (earthquake).
12 Achar (other) the raish (earthquake) a ash (fire) passed; but Yahawah () was not in the ash (fire): and achar (other) the ash (fire) a still daq (small) qawal (sound / voice).
13 It was so, when Alayah (Elijah) shamai (hearken / hear) it, that he lawat (wrapped) his panayam (face) in his adarath (mantle), and yatzaa (go out / come out) out, and imad (stood) in the entrance of the mairah (cave). Behold, a qawal (sound / voice) came to him, and amar (said), “What are you doing here, Alayah (Elijah)?”
14 He amar (spoke), “I have been very qanaa (jealous) for Yahawah (), the Alahayam () of tzabaawath (armies); for the banay (children) of Yashar-Al (Israel) have forsaken your barayath (covenant), haras (thrown) down your mazabach (altars), and harag (kill) your nabayaa (prophet/prophecy) with the charab (sword). I, even I only, am yathar (left); and they baqash (seek) my napash (soul), to laqach (take / seize) it away.”
15 Yahawah () amar (spoke) to him, “yalak (go), shawab (turn back / repent) on your darak (way) to the madabar (wilderness) of Damashaq (Damascus). When you arrive, you shall mashach (anoint) Chazaal (Hazael) to be malak (king) over Aram (Syria).
16 You shall mashach (anoint) Yahawaa (Jehu) the ban (son) of Namashay (Nimshi) to be malak (king) over Yashar-Al (Israel); and you shall mashach (anoint) Alayashai (Elisha) the ban (son) of Shapat (judge / judgement) of Abalamachawalah (Abel Meholah) to be nabayaa (prophet/prophecy) in your place.
17 It shall happen, that he who malat (escapes) from the charab (sword) of Chazaal (Hazael), Yahawaa (Jehu) will mawath (death); and he who malat (escapes) from the charab (sword) of Yahawaa (Jehu), Alayashai (Elisha) will mawath (death).
18 Yet will I shaar (leave) shabai (seven) alap (thousand) in Yashar-Al (Israel), all the barakayam (knees) which have not karai (bowed) to Bail (Baal), and every pah (mouth) which has not nashaq (kissed) him.”
19 So he departed there, and matzaa (found) Alayashai (Elisha) the ban (son) of Shapat (judge / judgement), who was charash (plowing), with shanayam (two) tzamad (yoke) of oxen panayam (face) him, and he with the shanayam (two): and Alayah (Elijah) ibar (pass over/through) over to him, and shalak (cast) his adarath (mantle) on him.
20 He izab (left) the oxen, and rawatz (ran) achar (other) Alayah (Elijah), and amar (said), “Let me please nashaq (kiss) my ab (father) and my am (mother), and then I will yalak (follow) you.” He amar (said) to him, “yalak (go) back again; for what ishah (make) I done to you?”
21 He shawab (turn) from achar (other) him, and laqach (take / seize) the tzamad (yoke) of oxen, and zabach (killed) them, and bashal (boiled) their bashar (flesh) with the kalay (instruments) of the oxen, and nathan (give) to the im (nation / people), and they akal (eat). Then he qawam (rise up), and yalak (went) achar (other) Alayah (Elijah), and sharath (served) him.
