1 Kings 17
1 Elijah the Tishbite, (from Tishbe in Gilead), told Ahab, “As the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, the one I serve, in the years to come there will be not be any dew or rain unless I say so!”
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.
2 Then the Lord told Elijah,
BAWIPA e lawk teh ahni koe a pha.
3 “Leave here and go east. Hide in the valley of the Cherith brook where it meets the Jordan.
Kanîtholae Jordan teng kaawm e Kherith sawkca dawk kâhrawk.
4 You can drink from the brook, and I have ordered ravens to bring you food you there.”
Hahoi hote sawkca tui hah na nei vaiteh, na ka kawk hanelah vonga kâ yo ka poe toe telah atipouh.
5 So Elijah did what the Lord told him. He went to the valley of the Cherith brook, where it meets the Jordan, and stayed there.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA e lawk patetlah a cei teh a sak. Jordan teng kaawm e Kherith sawkca dawk ao.
6 Ravens brought him bread and meat both in the morning and in the evening, and he drank from the brook.
Vonga ni amom lah vaiyei hoi moi a poe. Tangmin lahoi vaiyei hoi moi hah a poe teh sawkca tui hah a nei.
7 A while later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land.
Hathnukkhu hoi hote ram dawk kho a rak hoeh dawkvah, sawkca teh a hak.
8 Then the Lord told Elijah,
Hahoi BAWIPA e lawk hah ahni koe a pha teh,
9 “Leave here and go to Zarephath near Sidon and stay there. I have given instructions to a widow there to provide you with food.”
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.
10 So he left for Zarephath. When he arrived at the entrance to the town, he saw a woman, a widow, gathering sticks. He called her over and asked her, “Could you bring me a little water in a cup so I can have a drink?”
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.
11 As she was going to get it, he called after her and said, “Oh, and please bring me a piece of bread.”
Lahmainu ni tui la hane a cei nah, bout a kaw teh vaiyei youn touh na kut dawk hoi sin la a telah atipouh.
12 She replied, “As the Lord your God lives, I have no bread, only a handful of flour is left in a jar and a little bit of olive oil in a jug. Right now I am gathering a few of sticks so I can go and cook what's left for myself and my son so we can eat it, and then we'll die.”
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.
13 Elijah said to her, “Don't be afraid. Go home and do what you said. But first make me a small loaf of bread from what you have and bring it to me. Then make something for yourself and your son.
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.
14 For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour will not become empty and the jug of olive oil will not run out until the day the Lord sends rain to water the ground.”
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.
15 She went and did as Elijah had told her, and Elijah, the widow, and her household were able to eat for many days.
Elijah ni a dei e patetlah a sak teh, ama hoi a imthung hoi Elijah hoi hnin moikasawlah a ca awh.
16 The jar of flour was did not become empty and the jug of olive oil did not run out, just as the Lord had said through Elijah.
Elijah ni BAWIPA e lawk a dei e patetlah tavai hlaam ahrawng lah awm hoeh, satuium hai hak hoeh.
17 Later on the woman's son fell sick. (She was the one who owned the house.) He went from bad to worse, and finally he died.
Hote hnonaw ao hnukkhu, im katawnkung lahmainu e capa teh a pataw. A patawnae teh a nung poung dawkvah a due.
18 “What are you doing to me, man of God?” the woman asked Elijah. “Have you come to remind me about my sins and cause my son to die?”
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.
19 “Give me your son,” Elijah replied. He picked him up from her arms, carried him upstairs to the room where he was staying, and laid him on his bed.
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.
20 Then he cried out to the Lord, saying, “Lord my God, why have you allowed this to happen to this widow who has opened her home to me, this terrible tragedy of causing her son to die?”
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.
21 He stretched himself out on the boy three times, and cried out to the Lord, “Lord my God, please let this boy's life return to him!”
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.
22 The Lord responded to Elijah's cry. The boy's life returned to him, and he lived!
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.
23 Elijah took the boy and brought him down from the room into the house, and gave him to his mother. “See, your son is alive,” Elijah told her.
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.
24 “Now I'm convinced that you are a man of God, and that what the Lord speaks through you is the truth,” the woman replied.
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.
