1 Kings 17
1 Now Elijah the Tishbite, who was among the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As surely as the LORD lives—the God of Israel before whom I stand—there will be neither dew nor rain in these years except at my word!”
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.”
2 Then a revelation from the LORD came to Elijah:
Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne Elija mowachone niya,
3 “Leave here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.
“Aa ka, dhi yo wuok chiengʼ kendo ipondi e holo mar Kerith man yo wuok chiengʼ mar Jordan.
4 And you are to drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
Ibiro modho pi mowuok e soko kendo asechiko winyo mag agak mondo omiyi chiemo kanyo.”
5 So Elijah did what the LORD had told him, and he went and lived by the Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.
Kamano notimo gima Jehova Nyasaye nochike. Nodhi e holo mar Kerith yo ka wuok chiengʼ mar aora Jordan kendo nobedo kuno.
6 The ravens would bring him bread and meat in the morning and evening, and he would drink from the brook.
Winyo mag agakgo nokelone kuon gi ringʼo okinyi godhiambo to nomodho e sokono.
7 Some time later, however, the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land.
Bangʼ kinde moko sokono notwo nikech koth ne pok ochuwe e piny.
8 Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah:
Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirone mowachone niya,
9 “Get up and go to Zarephath of Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.”
“Dhiyo piyo piyo nyaka Zarefath e piny Sidon kendo ibed kanyo. Asechiko dhako ma chwore otho moro kanyo mondo omiyi chiemo.”
10 So Elijah got up and went to Zarephath. When he arrived at the city gate, there was a widow gathering sticks. Elijah called to her and said, “Please bring me a little water in a cup, so that I may drink.”
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?”
11 And as she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a piece of bread.”
Kane odhi kelo pi, Elija noluonge mowachone niya, “Kendo kiyie, to kelna kuon matin.”
12 But she replied, “As surely as the LORD your God lives, I have no bread—only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. Look, I am gathering a couple of sticks to take home and prepare a meal for myself and my son, so that we may eat it and die.”
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.”
13 “Do not be afraid,” Elijah said to her. “Go and do as you have said. But first make me a small cake of bread from what you have, and bring it out to me. Afterward, make some for yourself and your son,
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
14 for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour will not be exhausted and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the LORD sends rain upon the face of the earth.’”
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.’”
15 So she went and did according to the word of Elijah, and there was food every day for Elijah and the woman and her household.
Nodhi motimo kaka Elija nowachone. Kamano ne nitie chiemo pile ka pile ne Elija gi dhakono kod joode.
16 The jar of flour was not exhausted and the jug of oil did not run dry, according to the word that the LORD had spoken through Elijah.
Nimar agulu mar mogono ne ok odongʼ nono kendo puga mar mo-no ne ok otwo kaluwore gi wach Jehova Nyasaye mane Elija owacho.
17 Later, the son of the woman who owned the house became ill, and his sickness grew worse and worse, until no breath remained in him.
Bangʼ kinde moko wuod dhakoni ma wuon odno ne tuo, nomedo bedo marach ahinya to bangʼe notho.
18 “O man of God,” said the woman to Elijah, “what have you done to me? Have you come to remind me of my iniquity and cause the death of my son?”
Dhakono nopenjo Elija niya, “En rach mane ma in-go koda, ngʼat Nyasaye? Ne ibiro mondo iparna richona kendo mondo ineg wuoda?”
19 But Elijah said to her, “Give me your son.” So he took him from her arms, carried him to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on his own bed.
Elija nodwoke niya, “Miya wuodi.” Nokawe koa e lwete motingʼe nyaka ei ot mamalo mane odakie mopiele e kitandane.
20 Then he cried out to the LORD, “O LORD my God, have You also brought tragedy on this widow who has opened her home to me, by causing her son to die?”
Eka noywak ne Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasacha isekelo chandruok bende ni dhako ma chwore otho madakgo ni kimiyo wuode tho?”
21 Then he stretched himself out over the child three times and cried out to the LORD, “O LORD my God, please let this boy’s life return to him!”
Eka noriere kuom wuowino nyadidek moywak ni Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasacha yie ngima wuowini oduogne!”
22 And the LORD listened to the voice of Elijah, and the child’s life returned to him, and he lived.
Jehova Nyasaye nowinjo ywak Elija mi ngima wuowino noduogone mi nobedo mangima.
23 Then Elijah took the child, brought him down from the upper room into the house, and gave him to his mother. “Look, your son is alive,” Elijah declared.
Elija nochungo nyathino motingʼe kogole oko ewi tado motere e ot. Nomiye min-gi mowachone niya ne wuodi ngima!
24 Then the woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of the LORD from your mouth is truth.”
Eka dhakono nowacho ni Elija niya, “Koro angʼeyo adiera ni in ngʼat Nyasaye kendo ni wach Jehova Nyasaye mawuok e dhogi en adiera.”
