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, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, "As Jehovah, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except by my word."
2 BAWIPA e lawk teh ahni koe a pha.
And the word of Jehovah came to him, saying,
3 Kanîtholae Jordan teng kaawm e Kherith sawkca dawk kâhrawk.
"Go away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Wadi Cherith, that is near the 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 you will drink from the wadi. I have commanded the ravens to feed you 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 to the word of Jehovah; for he went and lived by the Wadi Cherith, that is near the 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 meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening. And he drank from the wadi.
7 Hathnukkhu hoi hote ram dawk kho a rak hoeh dawkvah, sawkca teh a hak.
And it happened after a while that the wadi dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
8 Hahoi BAWIPA e lawk hah ahni koe a pha teh,
The word of Jehovah came to 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, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Look, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you."
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 got up and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, look, a widow was there gathering wood. And he called to her, and said, "Please bring me a little water in a pitcher, 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 get it, he called to her, and said, "Please bring me a piece of bread in your 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.
She said, "As Jehovah your God lives, I do not have anything baked, except a handful of flour in a jar, and a little oil in a jug. Look, I am gathering a couple of sticks, that I may go in and bake 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 to her, "Do not be afraid. Go and do as you have said. But make me of it a little cake first, and bring it out to me, and afterward make some for yourself and for your 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 says Jehovah, the God of Israel, 'The jar of flour shall not empty, neither shall the jug of oil be empty, until the day that Jehovah sends rain on the surface of the land.'"
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 household, ate for a long time.
16 Elijah ni BAWIPA e lawk a dei e patetlah tavai hlaam ahrawng lah awm hoeh, satuium hai hak hoeh.
The jar of flour did not empty, neither did the jug of oil become empty, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke by Elijah.
17 Hote hnonaw ao hnukkhu, im katawnkung lahmainu e capa teh a pataw. A patawnae teh a nung poung dawkvah a due.
It happened after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick. And his illness was so severe 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 to Elijah, "What do we have in common, O man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to memory, and to kill 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 to her, "Give me your son." And he took him out of her lap and carried him up into the room where he stayed, and laid him on 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.
He cried to Jehovah, and said, "Jehovah my God, have you also brought disaster on the widow with whom I sojourn, by killing 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 called out to Jehovah, and said, "Jehovah my God, please 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.
Jehovah listened to 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 room into the house and gave him to his mother. And Elijah said, "See, your son lives."
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 I know that you are a man of God and that the word of Jehovah in your mouth is the truth."
