1 Manghai 17
1 Gilead lampah lamkah Tishbi Elijah loh Ahab taengah, “Hingnah, Israel Pathen BOEIPA te amah mikhmuh ah ka pai coeng. Ka ol ka ka dongkah pawt atah ta kum hang ah buemtui neh khotlan om mahpawh,” a ti nah.
And Elias the Thesbite of the inhabitants of Galaad said to Achab: As the Lord liveth the God of Israel, in whose sight I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to the words of my mouth.
2 Te phoeiah anih taengla BOEIPA ol ha pawk tih,
And the word of the Lord came to him, saying:
3 “Nang te He lamloh cet laeh, khothoeng la mael lamtah Jordan rhaldan kah Kerith soklong ah thuh uh.
Get thee hence, and go towards the east and hide thyself by the torrent of Carith, which is over against the Jordan,
4 Soklong kah tui te o lamtah nang aka cangbam ham vangak ka uen coeng,” a ti nah.
And there thou shalt drink of the torrent: and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
5 Te dongah cet tih BOEIPA ol bangla a saii. Cet tih Jordan rhaldan kah Kerith soklong ah kho a sak.
So he went, and did according to the word of the Lord: and going, he dwelt by the torrent Carith, which is over against the Jordan.
6 Vangak loh anih ham te mincang ah buh neh maeh, hlaem vaengah khaw buh neh maeh a thak pah tih soklong lamkah tui te a ok.
And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening, and he drank of tile torrent.
7 Khohmuen ah khonal a om pawt dongah khohnin a thok vaengah soklong khaw kak.
But after some time the torrent was dried up, for it had not rained upon the earth.
8 Te vaengah BOEIPA ol te anih taengla cet tih,
Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying:
9 “Thoo, Sidon kah Zarepthah la cet. Teah te khosa lamtah nang aka cangbam ham nuhmai nu pahoi ka uen coeng ne,” a ti nah.
Arise, and go to Sarephta of the Sidonians, and dwell there: for I have commanded a widow woman there to feed thee.
10 Te dongah thoo tih Zarepthah la cet. Khopuei thohka te a pha vaengah nuhmai nu loh thingpaem tarha ana coi. Anih te a khue tih, “Kai hamla Tuitang dongah tui bet hang khuen mai lamtah ka o lah eh,” a ti nah.
He arose, and went to Sarephta. And when he was come to the gate of the city, he saw the widow woman gathering sticks, and he called her, and said to her: Give me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
11 Tui than la a caeh vaengah anih te koep a khue tih, “Kai hamla na kut dongkah buh kamat hang khuen mai,” a ti nah.
And when she was going to fetch it he called after her, saying: Bring me also, I beseech thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand.
12 Te vaengah, “Nang kah Pathen BOEIPA tah hingnah ni. Canghaek khuikah vaidam kutvang a bae neh tui um dongkah situi a yol bueng he kai taengah buh a om pawn khaming. Thingpaem panit ka coi he khaw ka cet vetih kamah ham neh ka capa ham te te ka thong ni. Te phoeiah ka caak rhoi vetih ka duek rhoi mai bitni,” a ti nah.
And she answered: As the Lord thy God liveth, I have no bread, but only a handful of meal in a pot, and a little oil in a cruse: behold I am gathering two sticks that I may go in and dress it, for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
13 Tedae Elijah loh anih te, “Rhih boeh, paan lamtah na ol bangla saii. Tedae buh a yol khaw lamhma la kai ham saii lamtah kai taengla han khuen. Te phoeiah namah ham neh na capa ham tah a hnong a yai la saii.
And Elias said to her: Fear not, but go, and do as thou hast said: but first make for me of the same meal a little hearth cake, and bring it to me: and after make for thyself and thy son.
14 Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. BOEIPA loh diklai hman ah khonal a paek la a paek tue hlan atah vaidam canghaek khaw muei pawt vetih situi um khaw kak mahpawh,” a ti nah.
For thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: The pot of meal shall not waste, nor the cruse of oil be diminished, until the day wherein the Lord will give rain upon the face of the earth.
15 Cet tih Elijah ol bangla a saii dongah amah neh, amah phoeiah Elijah neh a imkhui loh a tue yet a caak.
She went and did according to the word of Elias: and he ate, and she, and her house: and from that day
16 Vaidam canghaek te ko pawt tih situi um khaw Elijah kut ah a thui BOEIPA ol bangla kak tlaih pawh.
The pot of meal wasted not, and the cruse of oil was not diminished, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke in the hand of Elias.
17 He ol a om phoeiah im kung nu kah a capa te tlo. A tloh te bahoeng nul coeng tih a khuiah a hiil pataeng om pawh.
And it came to pass after this that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick, and the sickness was very grievous, so that there was no breath left in him.
18 Te dongah Elijah te, “Kai taeng neh nang taengah balae aka om? Pathen kah hlang aw kai kah thaesainah thoelh ham neh ka capa duek sak ham nim kai taengla na pawk?” a ti nah.
And she said to Elias: What have I to do with thee, thou man of God? art thou come to me that my iniquities should be remembered, and that thou shouldst kill my son?
19 Tedae huta te, “Na capa te kai taengla m'pae,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah a rhang dong lamkah camoe a loh pah. Amah a om nah imhman la a khuen tih amah kah baiphaih dongah a yalh sak.
And Elias said to her: Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him into the upper chamber where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.
20 Te phoeiah BOEIPA te a khue tih, “Ka Pathen BOEIPA aw, a taengah ka bakuep vaengah a capa te duek sak ham nuhmai soah khaw thae na huet a?” a ti nah.
And he cried to the Lord, and said: O Lord my God, hast thou afflicted also the widow, with whom I am after a so maintained, so as to kill her son?
21 Camoe dongah voei thum bakop tih BOEIPA te a khue. Te vaengah ah, “Ka Pathen BOEIPA aw, camoe kah a hinglu he a khui la ham mael sak laeh,” a ti nah.
And he stretched, and measured himself upon the child three times, and cried to the Lord, and said: O Lord my God, let the soul of this child, I beseech thee, return into his body.
22 Elijah ol te BOEIPA loh a yaak dongah camoe kah hinglu te a khui la mael tih hing.
And the Lord heard the voice of Elias: and the soul of the child returned into him, and he revived.
23 Elijah loh camoe te a loh tih imhman lamloh im khuila a suntlak puei. A manu taengah a paek tih Elijah loh, “Na capa kah a hingnah he so lah,” a ti nah.
And Elias took the child, and brought him down from the upper chamber to the house below, and delivered him to his mother, and said to her: Behold thy son liveth.
24 Te vaengah huta loh Elijah te, “Nang tah Pathen kah hlang tih na ka lamkah BOEIPA ol he oltak la ka ming coeng he,” a ti nah.
And the woman said to Elias: Now, by this I know that thou art a man of God, and the word of the Lord in thy mouth is true.
