1 Gilead ram Tishbit tami Elijah ni Ahab koevah, kai ni ka bawk e Isarel BAWIPA Cathut teh a hring e patetlah hete kum dawk tadamtui bawt mahoeh kho hai rak mahoeh telah atipouh.
AND Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.
2 BAWIPA e lawk teh ahni koe a pha.
And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying,
3 Kanîtholae Jordan teng kaawm e Kherith sawkca dawk kâhrawk.
Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
4 Hahoi hote sawkca tui hah na nei vaiteh, na ka kawk hanelah vonga kâ yo ka poe toe telah atipouh.
And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
5 Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA e lawk patetlah a cei teh a sak. Jordan teng kaawm e Kherith sawkca dawk ao.
So he went and did according unto the word of the Lord: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
6 Vonga ni amom lah vaiyei hoi moi a poe. Tangmin lahoi vaiyei hoi moi hah a poe teh sawkca tui hah a nei.
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 Hathnukkhu hoi hote ram dawk kho a rak hoeh dawkvah, sawkca teh a hak.
And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
8 Hahoi BAWIPA e lawk hah ahni koe a pha teh,
And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying,
9 thaw nateh, Sidon ram Zarephath lah cet nateh, hote hmuen koevah awmh. Khenhaw! na ka kawk hanelah lahmainu buet touh kâ yo ka poe toe telah atipouh.
Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.
10 Hatdawkvah a thaw teh, Zarephath lah a cei. Hote kho longkha koe a pha nah lahmainu buet touh teh thing a ei. Elijah ni a kaw teh, ka nei hane tui manang dawk hoi sin haw atipouh.
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 Lahmainu ni tui la hane a cei nah, bout a kaw teh vaiyei youn touh na kut dawk hoi sin la a telah atipouh.
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 Lahmainu ni BAWIPA na Cathut a hring e patetlah vaiyei teh ka tawn hoeh. Hlaam dawk vaiyei kanui e kutvang touh hoi satuium dawk satui yitca dueng doeh kaawm. Kama hoi ka capa hanlah karê vaiteh, ca hnukkhu ka due roi han toe ti hoi atu thingtaboung kahni touh atu ka ei hei telah atipouh.
And she said, As the Lord 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 Elijah ni, lahmainu koevah, taket hanh. Na dei e patetlah sak. Hateiteh kai hanlah buet touh hmaloe sak nateh thokhai haw. Hathnukkhu, nama hoi na capa hanelah sak.
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 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarel BAWIPA Cathut ni hettelah a dei. BAWIPA ni talai van kho a kang sak nathung, tavai hlaam a hrawng lah awm mahoeh. Satuium hai hak mahoeh ati telah a dei pouh.
For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth.
15 Elijah ni a dei e patetlah a sak teh, ama hoi a imthung hoi Elijah hoi hnin moikasawlah a ca awh.
And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.
16 Elijah ni BAWIPA e lawk a dei e patetlah tavai hlaam ahrawng lah awm hoeh, satuium hai hak hoeh.
And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by Elijah.
17 Hote hnonaw ao hnukkhu, im katawnkung lahmainu e capa teh a pataw. A patawnae teh a nung poung dawkvah a due.
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 Lahmainu ni Elijah koevah, oe Cathut e tami nang koe bang hno maw ka sak. Ka yonnae kapanueksakkung hoi ka capa thei hanelah maw na tho telah atipouh.
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 Ahni ni ahni koe na capa teh na poe haw atipouh. Hottelah sut a tapam e a capa hah, a la pouh teh a onae rakhan dawk a luenkhai teh a ikhun dawk a payan.
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 Oe BAWIPA ka Cathut, ka luennae hete lahmainu koe runae na sak teh a capa hah na due sak han namaw telah BAWIPA hah a kaw.
And he cried unto the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?
21 Hote camo van vah vai thum touh a tabo teh, oe BAWIPA ka Cathut, hete camo e hringnae ama koe bout ban sak hanlah ka hei telah BAWIPA hah a kaw.
And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, I pray thee, let this child’s soul come into him again.
22 BAWIPA ni Elijah e lawk hah a thai pouh teh camo e a hringnae teh ama koe bout a ban teh, camo teh a kâhlaw.
And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
23 Elijah ni camo hah a lathueng e rakhan dawk hoi a rahim lah a thokhai teh, khenhaw! na capa teh bout a hring telah atipouh teh a manu koe a poe.
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 Ahni ni Elijah koevah nang teh Cathut e tami doeh. Na pahni dawk e BAWIPA e lawk teh, lawkkatang doeh tie atu ka panue toe telah atipouh.
And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in thy mouth is truth.
