1 Ruodhi 17
1 Koro Elija ja-Tishbi moa Tishbe e piny Gilead nonyiso Ahab niya, “Mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye mangima, ma Nyasach Israel matiyone nitie, tho kata koth ok nobedi kuom higni manok nyaka chop achak awach kendo.”
And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, "As YHWH, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except by my word."
2 Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne Elija mowachone niya,
And the word of YHWH came to him, saying,
3 “Aa ka, dhi yo wuok chiengʼ kendo ipondi e holo mar Kerith man yo wuok chiengʼ mar Jordan.
"Go away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Wadi Cherith, that is near the Jordan.
4 Ibiro modho pi mowuok e soko kendo asechiko winyo mag agak mondo omiyi chiemo kanyo.”
And it shall be that you will drink from the wadi. I have commanded the ravens to feed you there."
5 Kamano notimo gima Jehova Nyasaye nochike. Nodhi e holo mar Kerith yo ka wuok chiengʼ mar aora Jordan kendo nobedo kuno.
So he went and did according to the word of YHWH; for he went and lived by the Wadi Cherith, that is near the Jordan.
6 Winyo mag agakgo nokelone kuon gi ringʼo okinyi godhiambo to nomodho e sokono.
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 Bangʼ kinde moko sokono notwo nikech koth ne pok ochuwe e piny.
And it happened after a while that the wadi dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
8 Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirone mowachone niya,
The word of YHWH came to him, saying,
9 “Dhiyo piyo piyo nyaka Zarefath e piny Sidon kendo ibed kanyo. Asechiko dhako ma chwore otho moro kanyo mondo omiyi chiemo.”
"Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Look, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you."
10 Kamano nodhi Zarefath. Kane ochopo e dhoranga dalano, dhako ma chwore otho moro ne ni kanyo ka choko yien. Noluonge mopenje niya, “Bende inyalo kelonae pi matin e agwata agulu mondo amodhi?”
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 Kane odhi kelo pi, Elija noluonge mowachone niya, “Kendo kiyie, to kelna kuon matin.”
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 Eka nodwoko Elija niya, “Mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi ngima aonge gi kuon moro amora makmana mogo matin e agulu kod mo matin e puga. Amodo yien matin mondo ater dala kendo alosgo chiemba kod mar wuoda mondo wacham bangʼe watho.”
She said, "As YHWH 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 Elija nowachone niya, “Kik ibed maluor dhi dala kendo tim kaka isewacho. To mokwongo losna kuon matin kuom gima in-go mondo ikelna eka ilos gimoro ni in kaachiel gi wuodi
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 Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Nyasach Israel wacho, ‘Agulu mar mogo ok nodongʼ nono kendo puga mar mo ok notwo nyaka chop chiengʼ ma Jehova Nyasaye nokelie koth, e piny.’”
For thus says YHWH, the God of Israel, 'The jar of flour shall not empty, neither shall the jug of oil be empty, until the day that YHWH sends rain on the surface of the land.'"
15 Nodhi motimo kaka Elija nowachone. Kamano ne nitie chiemo pile ka pile ne Elija gi dhakono kod joode.
And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah. And she, and he, and her household, ate for a long time.
16 Nimar agulu mar mogono ne ok odongʼ nono kendo puga mar mo-no ne ok otwo kaluwore gi wach Jehova Nyasaye mane Elija owacho.
The jar of flour did not empty, neither did the jug of oil become empty, according to the word of YHWH, which he spoke by Elijah.
17 Bangʼ kinde moko wuod dhakoni ma wuon odno ne tuo, nomedo bedo marach ahinya to bangʼe notho.
It happened after these things, that the son of the woman who owned the house became ill. And his illness became so severe that he could no longer breathe.
18 Dhakono nopenjo Elija niya, “En rach mane ma in-go koda, ngʼat Nyasaye? Ne ibiro mondo iparna richona kendo mondo ineg wuoda?”
Then she said to Elijah, "What do we have in common, O man of God? Have you come to me to remind me of my sin and kill my son?"
19 Elija nodwoke niya, “Miya wuodi.” Nokawe koa e lwete motingʼe nyaka ei ot mamalo mane odakie mopiele e kitandane.
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 Eka noywak ne Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasacha isekelo chandruok bende ni dhako ma chwore otho madakgo ni kimiyo wuode tho?”
He cried to YHWH, and said, "YHWH my God, have you also brought disaster on the widow with whom I sojourn, by killing her son?"
21 Eka noriere kuom wuowino nyadidek moywak ni Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasacha yie ngima wuowini oduogne!”
And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and called out to YHWH, and said, "YHWH my God, please let this child's soul come into him again."
22 Jehova Nyasaye nowinjo ywak Elija mi ngima wuowino noduogone mi nobedo mangima.
YHWH listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
23 Elija nochungo nyathino motingʼe kogole oko ewi tado motere e ot. Nomiye min-gi mowachone niya ne wuodi ngima!
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 Eka dhakono nowacho ni Elija niya, “Koro angʼeyo adiera ni in ngʼat Nyasaye kendo ni wach Jehova Nyasaye mawuok e dhogi en adiera.”
And the woman said to Elijah, "Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of YHWH in your mouth is the truth."
