Azɔ la Eliya, Tisbitɔ si tso Tisbi le Gilead la va gblɔ na Ahab be, “Meta Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe agbe, ame si mesubɔna la be zãmu loo alo tsi madza le ƒe siwo gbɔna la me o negbe le nye nya nu ko.”
2 Pamenepo Yehova anayankhula ndi Eliya kuti,

“Yi ɣedzeƒe eye nàbe ɖe Kerit tɔʋu la to, le afi si tɔʋu sia de nu Yɔdan tɔsisi la me le la ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo.
4 Uzikamwa mu mtsinjemo, ndipo ndalamula makwangwala kuti azikakudyetsa kumeneko.”
No tsi le tɔʋu la me eye nàɖu nu si akpaviãwo atsɔ vɛ na wò elabena mana be woatsɔ nuɖuɖu vɛ na wo.”
5 Choncho Eliya anachita zomwe Yehova anamuwuza. Anapita ku mtsinje wa Keriti, pafupi ndi Yorodani, nakakhala kumeneko.
Ale Eliya wɔ nu si Yehowa ɖo nɛ eye wònɔ tɔʋu la to.
6 Makwangwala ankabweretsera buledi ndi nyama mmawa ndi madzulo, ndipo ankamwa mu mtsinjemo.
Akpaviãwo tsɔa abolo kple lã vanɛ nɛ gbe sia gbe, ŋdi kple fiẽ eye wònoa tsi le tɔʋu la me.
7 Patapita masiku, mtsinjewo unaphwa chifukwa mvula sinagwe mʼdzikomo.
Ke le ɣeyiɣi aɖe megbe la, tɔʋu la mie elabena tsi megadza ɖe anyigba la dzi kpɔ o.
8 Yehova anayankhula naye kuti,
Yehowa ƒe nya va na Eliya bena,
9 “Nyamuka tsopano, pita ku Zarefati ku Sidoni ndipo ukakhale kumeneko. Ndalamula mkazi wamasiye wa kumeneko kuti azikakudyetsa.”
“Yi Sidon ƒe Zarefat enumake eye nànɔ afi ma. Megblɔ na ahosi aɖe le afi ma be wòana nuɖuɖu wò.”
10 Choncho iye ananyamuka napita ku Zarefati. Atafika pa chipata cha mzindawo, taonani mkazi wamasiye amatola nkhuni. Anamuyitana ndi kumuwuza kuti, “Patseni madzi pangʼono mʼchikho kuti ndimwe.”
Ale wòyi ɖe Zarefat. Esi wòva ɖo Zarefat ƒe agbo nu la, ahosi aɖe nɔ afi ma, nɔ nake fɔm. Eyɔe eye wòbiae be, “Àku tsi vi aɖe ɖe kplu me vɛ nam manoa?”
11 Mayi wamasiye uja ankapita kukatunga madzi, Eliya anamuyitananso namuwuza kuti, “Chonde munditengerekonso buledi.”
Esi ahosi la trɔ yina be yeaku tsi la vɛ nɛ la, Eliya yɔe, gblɔ nɛ be, “Nyo dɔ me nàtsɔ abolo aɖe hã kpe ɖe tsi la ŋu vɛ nam.”
12 Iye anayankha kuti “Pali Yehova Mulungu wanu wamoyo, ine ndilibe chakudya china chilichonse, koma kaufa pangʼono mʼmbiya ndi mafuta pangʼono mʼbotolo. Ine ndikutola tinkhuni tochepa kuti ndipite nato ku nyumba ndi kukaphika chakudya changa ndi cha mwana wanga, kuti tikadye kenaka tife.”
Ahosi la ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Meta Yehowa, wò Mawu la ƒe agbe be, abolo aɖeke mele asinye o negbe wɔ asiʋlo ɖeka si le wɔze me kple ami sue aɖe si le amigoe me ko. Mele nake ʋɛ siawo fɔm atsɔ ayi aƒe mee ne maɖa nu nye kple vinye ŋutsu míaɖu eye míaku.”
13 Eliya anati kwa iye, “Musachite mantha. Pitani mukachite monga mwaneneramo. Koma poyamba mundipangire kachakudya pangʼono kuchokera pa ufa umene muli nawo ndi kubwera nako kwa ine, ndipo kenaka mukaphike choti mudye inuyo ndi mwana wanuyo.
Eliya gblɔ nɛ be, “Mègavɔ̃ o; yi aƒe me eye nàwɔ abe ale si nègblɔ ene gake gbã la, ƒo abolo sue aɖe kple wɔ la ƒe ɖe eye nàtsɔe vɛ nam. Emegbe nàɖa nane na wò ŋutɔ kple viwò ŋutsu la
14 Pakuti Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli akuti, ‘Ufa umene uli mʼmbiyamo sudzatha ndipo mafuta amene ali mʼbotolomo sadzathanso mpaka tsiku limene Yehova adzagwetse mvula pa dziko lapansi.’”
elabena ale Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye si, ‘Wɔ mavɔ le wò wɔze me o eye ami hã mavɔ le wò amigoe me o va se ɖe esime Yehowa nana tsi nadza ɖe anyigba dzi.’”
15 Mayi wamasiyeyo anapita nakachita zimene Eliya anamuwuza. Choncho panali chakudya cha Eliya, mayiyo pamodzi ndi banja lake lonse chimene anadya masiku ambiri.
Ale ahosi la wɔ nu si Eliya gblɔ nɛ eye Eliya kple eya kple via siaa kpɔa nuɖuɖu tso wɔ la kple ami la me ŋkeke ale si wohiã wo.
16 Pakuti ufa umene unali mʼmbiya sunathe ndiponso mafuta amene anali mʼbotolo sanathe, monga momwe ananenera Yehova kudzera mwa Eliya.
Elabena wɔ mevɔ le wɔze la me eye ami hã mevɔ le amigoe la me o le nya si Yehowa gblɔ to Eliya dzi la nu.
17 Tsiku lina mwana wake wa mkazi wamasiye uja, mwini nyumbayo, anadwala. Matenda ananka nakulirakulirabe, ndipo kenaka analeka kupuma.
Le ɣeyiɣi aɖewo megbe la, nyɔnu si nye aƒea nɔ la ƒe viŋutsu dze dɔ. Dɔ la sesẽ nɛ tso ŋkeke me yi ŋkeke me eye mlɔeba la, eƒe gbɔgbɔ nu tso.
18 Mayiyo anati kwa Eliya, “Kodi ndakulakwirani chiyani, inu munthu wa Mulungu? Kodi munabwera kuno kudzandikumbutsa tchimo langa ndi kudzandiphera mwana wanga?”
Egblɔ na Eliya be, “Oo Mawu ƒe ame, nya kae le asiwò ɖe ŋutinye? Ɖe nèva be yeaɖo ŋku nye nu vɔ̃wo dzi nam eye nàwu vinyeŋutsua?”
19 Eliya anayankha kuti, “Patseni mwana wanuyo.” Iye anatenga mwanayo mʼmanja mwa mayiyo napita naye mʼchipinda chapamwamba, kumene Eliyayo amagona, namugoneka pa bedi lake.
Eliya ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Tsɔ viwò ŋutsuvi la nam.” Exɔe le eƒe abɔwo dome hetsɔe yi eƒe xɔ me le dziƒoxɔ dzi eye wòtsɔe mlɔ eƒe aba dzi.
20 Kenaka Eliya anafuwula kwa Yehova nati, “Inu Yehova Mulungu wanga, kodi mwabweretsanso choyipa chotere pa mkazi wamasiye amene ine ndikukhala naye, pakuchititsa kuti mwana wake afe?”
Tete wòdo ɣli na Yehowa be, “Oo Yehowa, nye Mawu, ɖe nèhe dzɔgbevɔ̃e va ahosi si gbɔ mele la hã dzi eye nèna via ŋutsuvi la kua?”
21 Pamenepo Eliya anakumbatira mwanayo katatu ndi kufuwula kwa Yehova kuti, “Inu Yehova Mulungu wanga, mubwezereni mwanayu moyo wake!”
Eliya dra ɖe ɖevi la dzi zi etɔ̃ eye wòdo ɣli na Yehowa, be, “Oo, Yehowa, nye Mawu, na be ɖevi sia ƒe agbe natrɔ ava eme!”
22 Yehova anamva kufuwula kwa Eliya, ndipo moyo wa mwanayo unabwerera mwa iye ndipo anatsitsimuka.
Yehowa se Eliya ƒe gbedodoɖa, ale ɖevi la ƒe gbɔgbɔ gbugbɔ va eme eye wòtsi agbe.
23 Eliya ananyamula mwanayo natsika naye kuchoka mʼchipinda chapamwamba chija nalowa naye mʼnyumba. Anamupereka kwa amayi ake ndipo anati, “Taonani, mwana wanu ali ndi moyo!”
Eliya kɔ ɖevi la eye wòdo go kplii tso xɔ la me yi anyigba eye wòtsɔe na dadaa gblɔ be, “Kpɔ ɖa, viwò ŋutsu la le agbe!”
24 Pamenepo mayiyo anati kwa Eliya, “Tsopano ndadziwa kuti ndinu munthu wa Mulungu ndipo mawu a Yehova amene mumayankhula ndi owona.”
Ahosi la gblɔ nɛ be, “Azɔ la, menya be Mawu ƒe amee nènye eye Yehowa ƒe nya si do tso wò nu me la nye nyateƒe.”
