1 Kings 17
1 And Elijah the Tishbite, of Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, By the living Lord, the God of Israel, whose servant I am, there will be no dew or rain in these years, but only at my word.
Gilead prae Tishbe avang ah kaom Elijah mah Ahab khaeah, Kai mah a hmaa ah kang doet moe, a tok ka sak pae ih Israel Angraeng Sithaw loe hing pongah, ka thuih ih lok ai ah loe, vaining saning thungah dantui krah mak ai, kho doeh angzo mak ai boeh, tiah a naa.
2 Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying,
To naah Angraeng ih lok Elijah khaeah angzoh,
3 Go from here in the direction of the east, and keep yourself in a secret place by the stream Cherith, east of Jordan.
hae ih ahmuen hae tacawt taak loe, ni angyae bangah caeh ah, Jordan vapui hmaa ah kaom, Kerith vacong ah anghawk ah.
4 The water of the stream will be your drink, and by my orders the ravens will give you food there.
Vacong tui to nae ah; nang pacah hanah pangaah to lok ka paek boeh, tiah a naa.
5 So he went and did as the Lord said, living by the stream Cherith, east of Jordan.
Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, anih mah sak; Jordan vapui hmaa ah kaom, Kerith vacong ah caeh moe, to ahmuen ah oh.
6 And the ravens took him bread in the morning and meat in the evening; and the water of the stream was his drink.
Aduem akhawn pangaah mah takaw hoi moi to thak pae moe, vacong tui to a naek.
7 Now after a time the stream became dry, because there was no rain in the land.
Atue nazetto maw oh pacoengah loe, prae thungah kho angzo ai boeh, to pongah vacong tui to kang king.
8 Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying,
Angraeng ih lok anih khaeah angzoh,
9 Up! go now to Zarephath, in Zidon, and make your living-place there; I have given orders to a widow woman there to see that you have food.
angthawk ah, Sidon prae Zerephath vangpui ah caeh loe, to ah om ah; khenah, nang buh pacah hanah to ahmuen ah kaom lamhmai maeto khaeah lok ka paek boeh, tiah a naa.
10 So he got up and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the door of the town, he saw a widow woman getting sticks together; and crying out to her he said, Will you give me a little water in a vessel for my drink?
To pongah anih mah angthawk moe, Zerephath ah caeh; khenah, vangpui khongkha a phak naah, thing aek nongpata maeto oh; anih mah to lamhmai nongpata to kawk moe, anih khaeah, Tahmenhaih hoi ka naek hanah boengloeng pongah tui zetta na paek ah, tiah a naa.
11 And when she was going to get it, he said to her, And get me with it a small bit of bread.
Lamhmai nongpata mah tui to lak hanah caeh naah, anih mah, Tahmenhaih hoi takaw kae tetta doeh na sin thoem ah, tiah a naa.
12 Then she said, By the life of the Lord your God, I have nothing but a little meal in my store, and a drop of oil in the bottle; and now I am getting two sticks together so that I may go in and make it ready for me and my son, so that we may have a meal before our death.
Lamhmai nongpata mah, na Angraeng Sithaw hing baktih toengah, takaw loe ka tawn ai; toe laom thung ih takaw dip thoemto hoi pailang thungah situi zetta ni ka tawnh; khenah, thing tanghang hnetto ka khuih, to thing hoiah ka capa kaimah hnik hanah buh ka thongh, buh ka caak hoi pacoengah loe ka duek hoi han boeh, tiah ka poek, tiah a naa.
13 And Elijah said to her, Have no fear; go and do as you have said, but first make me a little cake of it and come and give it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son.
Elijah mah anih khaeah, Zii hmah, caeh loe na thuih ih lok baktih toengah sah ah; toe kai hanah takaw zetta na sah paeh hmaloe ah loe sin ah; to pacoengah nang mah hoi na capa hanah sah ah.
14 For this is the word of the Lord, the God of Israel: The store of meal will not come to an end, and the bottle will never be without oil, till the day when the Lord sends rain on the earth.
Israel Angraeng Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; Angraeng mah prae thungah kho angzosak ai karoek to, laom thungah kaom takaw dip to boeng mak ai ueloe, pailang thung ih situi doeh kang mak ai, tiah a naa.
15 So she went and did as Elijah said; and she and he and her family had food for a long time.
To pongah lamhmai nongpata loe caeh moe, Elijah mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah a sak; to naah Elijah, lamhmai hoi angmah ih imthung takohnawk mah, ni paroeai thung caak khawt buh to a tawnh o.
16 The store of meal did not come to an end, and the bottle was never without oil, as the Lord had said by the mouth of Elijah.
Elijah mah thuih ih Angraeng ih lok baktih toengah, laom thung ih takaw dip to boeng ai moe, pailang thung ih situi doeh kang ai.
17 Now after this, the son of the woman of the house became ill, so ill that there was no breath in him.
Ni nazetto maw oh pacoengah im tawnkung, nongpata ih capa to ngannat; anih ngannathaih loe nung parai pongah, anghah thai ai.
18 And she said to Elijah, What have I to do with you, O man of God? have you come to put God in mind of my sin, and to put my son to death?
To nongpata mah Elijah khaeah, Aw Sithaw kami, nang hoi kai loe timaw asaenghaih oh? Ka zaehaih panoeksak moe, ka capa hum han ih maw kai khaeah nang zoh? tiah a naa.
19 And he said to her, Give your son to me. And lifting him out of her arms, he took him up to his room and put him down on his bed.
Elijah mah, Na capa to na paek ah, tiah a naa. Anih mah nongpata ban ih nawkta to lak moe, a ohhaih im ranui ah caeh haih pacoengah, a iihhaih ahmuen ah angsongsak.
20 And crying to the Lord he said, O Lord my God, have you sent evil even on the widow whose guest I am, by causing her son's death?
To pacoengah Angraeng khaeah, Aw ka Angraeng Sithaw, ka toemhhaih lamhmai nuiah raihaih na phaksak moe, a capa na dueksak maw? tiah a hangh.
21 And stretching herself out on the child three times, he made his prayer to the Lord, saying, O Lord my God, be pleased to let this child's life come back to him again.
Nawkta nuiah vai thumto tabok pacoengah, Angraeng khaeah, Aw ka Angraeng Sithaw, hae nawkta hinghaih amlaemsak let ah, tiah a hangh.
22 And the Lord gave ear to the voice of Elijah, and the child's spirit came into him again, and he came back to life.
Angraeng mah Elijah hanghhaih lok to thaih naah, nawkta hinghaih amlaemsak let pongah, nawkta loe hing let.
23 And Elijah took the child down from his room into the house and gave him to his mother and said to her, See, your son is living.
Elijah mah nawkta to lak pacoengah, angmah ih imthung hoi a ohhaih im ah caeh haih let; amno khaeah paek let pacoengah, Elijah mah khenah, na capa hing let boeh, tiah a naa.
24 Then the woman said to Elijah, Now I am certain that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is true.
To naah nongpata mah Elijah khaeah, Nang loe vaihi Sithaw kami ah na oh, na pakha ih Sithaw lok loe loktang ni, tiah ka panoek boeh, tiah a naa.
