- આમ અને આમ બપોર થઈ ગઈ એટલે એલિયા તેઓની મશ્કરી કરીને બોલ્યો, “હજી મોટા સાદે બૂમો પાડો! તે દેવ છે! કદાચ એ વિચારમાં ઊંડો ડૂબી ગયો હશે! અથવા કંઈ કામમાં ગૂંથાયો હશે કે, મુસાફરીમાં હશે, કદાચ ઊંઘી પણ ગયો હોય તો જગાડવો પણ પડે.”
- हिन्दी — 1 राजाओं १८:२७
- दोपहर को एलिय्याह ने यह कहकर उनका उपहास किया, “ऊँचे शब्द से पुकारो, वह तो देवता है; वह तो ध्यान लगाए होगा, या कहीं गया होगा या यात्रा में होगा, या हो सकता है कि सोता हो और उसे जगाना चाहिए।”
In context
25Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose one bull for yourselves, and dress it first, for you are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under it.”
26They took the bull which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, “Baal, hear us!” But there was no voice, and nobody answered. They leaped about the altar which was made.
27At noon, Elijah mocked them, and said, “Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is deep in thought, or he has gone somewhere, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he sleeps and must be awakened.”
28They cried aloud, and cut themselves in their way with knives and lances until the blood gushed out on them.
29When midday was past, they prophesied until the time of the evening offering; but there was no voice, no answer, and nobody paid attention.
