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 Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As Yhwh God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.
2 Te phoeiah anih taengla BOEIPA ol ha pawk tih,
And the word of Yhwh came unto 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 turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
4 Soklong kah tui te o lamtah nang aka cangbam ham vangak ka uen coeng,” a ti nah.
And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; 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 Kertih soklong ah kho a sak.
So he went and did according unto the word of Yhwh: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before 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 the brook.
7 Khohmuen ah khonal a om pawt dongah khohnin a thok vaengah soklong khaw kak.
And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
8 Te vaengah BOEIPA ol te anih taengla cet tih,
And the word of Yhwh came unto 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, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Sidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain 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.
So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, 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 as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine 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 said, As Yhwh thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, 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 Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for 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 Yhwh God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that Yhwh sendeth rain upon 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.
And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.
16 Vaidam canghaek te ko pawt tih situi um khaw Elijah kut ah a thui BOEIPA ol bangla kak tlaih pawh.
And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of Yhwh, which he spake by Elijah.
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 these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, 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 kathaesainah thoelh ham neh ka capa duek sak ham nim kai taengla na pawk?” a ti nah.
And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay 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 he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, 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 unto Yhwh, and said, O Yhwh my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying 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 himself upon the child three times, and cried unto Yhwh, and said, O Yhwh my God, I pray thee, let this child’s soul come into him again.
22 Elijah ol te BOEIPA loh a yaak dongah camoe kah hinglu te a khui la mael tih hing.
And Yhwh heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, 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 Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, 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 Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of Yhwh in thy mouth is truth.
