1 After a long time, in the third year, the word of the LORD came to Elijah: "Go and present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the land."
2 So Elijah went to present himself to Ahab. Now the famine was severe in Samaria,
3 and Ahab had summoned Obadiah, who was in charge of his palace. (Obadiah was a devout believer in the LORD.
4 While Jezebel was killing off the LORD's prophets, Obadiah had taken a hundred prophets and hidden them in two caves, fifty in each, and had supplied them with food and water.)
5 Ahab had said to Obadiah, "Go through the land to all the springs and valleys. Maybe we can find some grass to keep the horses and mules alive so we will not have to kill any of our animals."
6 So they divided the land they were to cover, Ahab going in one direction and Obadiah in another.
7 As Obadiah was walking along, Elijah met him. Obadiah recognized him, bowed down to the ground, and said, "Is it really you, my lord Elijah?"
8 "Yes," he replied. "Go tell your master, 'Elijah is here.' "
9 "What have I done wrong," asked Obadiah, "that you are handing your servant over to Ahab to be put to death?
10 As surely as the LORD your God lives, there is not a nation or kingdom where my master has not sent someone to look for you. And whenever a nation or kingdom claimed you were not there, he made them swear they could not find you.
11 But now you tell me to go to my master and say, 'Elijah is here.'
12 I don't know where the Spirit of the LORD may carry you when I leave you. If I go and tell Ahab and he doesn't find you, he will kill me. Yet I your servant have worshiped the LORD since my youth.
13 Haven't you heard, my lord, what I did while Jezebel was killing the prophets of the LORD ? I hid a hundred of the LORD's prophets in two caves, fifty in each, and supplied them with food and water.
14 And now you tell me to go to my master and say, 'Elijah is here.' He will kill me!"
15 Elijah said, "As the LORD Almighty lives, whom I serve, I will surely present myself to Ahab today."
하기를 엘리야가 없다 하면 그들이 말하기를 엘리야가 없다 하면 그 나라와 그 족속으로 당신을 보지 못하였다는 맹세를 하게 하였거늘
11 이제 당신의 말씀이 가서 네 주에게 말하기를 엘리야가 여기 있다 하라 하시나
12 내가 당신을 떠나간 후에 여호와의 영이 내가 알지 못하는 곳으로 당신을 이끌어 가시리니 내가 가서 아합에게 말하였다가 그가 당신을 찾지 못하면 내가 죽임을 당하리이다 당신의 종은 어려서부터 여호와를 경외하는자라
12 이세벨이 여호와의 선지자들을 죽일 때에 내가 여호와의 선지자 중에 백 명을 오십 명씩 굴에 숨기고 떡과 물로 먹인 일이 내 주에게 들리지 아니하였나이까
13 이세벨이 여호와의 선지자들을 죽일 때에 내가 여호와의 선지자 중에 백명을 오십 명씩 굴에 숨기고 떡과 물로 먹인 일이 내 주에게 들리지 아니하였나이까
14 이제 당신의 말씀이 가서 네 주에게 말하기를 엘리야가 여기 있다 하라 하시니 그리하면 그가 나를 죽이리이다
15 엘리야가 이르되 내가 섬기는 만군의 여호와께서 살아 계심을 두고 맹세하노니 내가 오늘 아합에게 보이리라
