1 Kings 17
1 Then said Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gil'ad, unto Achab, As the Lord the God of Israel liveth, before whom I have stood, there shall not be in these years dew or rain, except according to my word.
Gilead lampah lamkah Tishbi Elijah loh Ahab taengah, “Hingnah, Israel Pathen BOEIPA te amah mikhmuh ah ka pai coeng. Ka ol ka ka dongkah pawt atah ta kum hang ah buemtui neh khotlan om mahpawh,” a ti nah.
2 And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying,
Te phoeiah anih taengla BOEIPA ol ha pawk tih,
3 Go away from here, and turn thyself eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Kerith, which is to the east of the Jordan.
“Nang te He lamloh cet laeh, khothoeng la mael lamtah Jordan rhaldan kah Kerith soklong ah thuh uh.
4 And it shall be, that out of the brook shalt thou drink; and the ravens have I ordained to sustain thee there.
Soklong kah tui te o lamtah nang aka cangbam ham vangak ka uen coeng,” a ti nah.
5 And he went and did according to the word of the Lord; and he went and remained by the brook Kerith, that is to the east of the Jordan.
Te dongah cet tih BOEIPA ol bangla a saii. Cet tih Jordan rhaldan kah Kertih soklong ah kho a sak.
6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening: and out of the brook he used to drink.
Vangak loh anih ham te mincang ah buh neh maeh, hlaem vaengah khaw buh neh maeh a thak pah tih soklong lamkah tui te a ok.
7 And it came to pass after a while that the brook dried up; because there had been no rain in the land.
Khohmuen ah khonal a om pawt dongah khohnin a thok vaengah soklong khaw kak.
8 And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying,
Te vaengah BOEIPA ol te anih taengla cet tih,
9 Arise, go unto Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and remain there: behold, I have ordained there a widow-woman to sustain thee.
“Thoo, Sidon kah Zarepthah la cet. Teah te khosa lamtah nang aka cangbam ham nuhmai nu pahoi ka uen coeng ne,” a ti nah.
10 So he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, there was there a widow-woman gathering sticks of wood: and he called her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
Te dongah thoo tih Zarepthah la cet. Khopuei thohka te a pha vaengah nuhmai nu loh thingpaem tarha ana coi. Anih te a khue tih, “Kai hamla Tuitang dongah tui bet hang khuen mai lamtah ka o lah eh,” a ti nah.
11 And as she went to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand.
Tui than la a caeh vaengah anih te koep a khue tih, “Kai hamla na kut dongkah buh kamat hang khuen mai,” a ti nah.
12 And she said, As the Lord thy God liveth, I have nothing baked, but a handful of meal in a jar, and a little oil in a cruise: and, behold, I am gathering a couple of sticks, that I may go in and prepare it for me and my son; and when we have eaten it, we shall have to die.
Te vaengah, “Nang kah Pathen BOEIPA tah hingnah ni. Canghaek khuikah vaidam kutvang a bae neh tui um dongkah situi a yol bueng he kai taengah buh a om pawn khaming. Thingpaem panit ka coi he khaw ka cet vetih kamah ham neh ka capa ham te te ka thong ni. Te phoeiah ka caak rhoi vetih ka duek rhoi mai bitni,” a ti nah.
13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said; but make me thereof a little cake at first, and bring it out unto me, and for thee and for thy son shalt thou prepare [something] afterward.
Tedae Elijah loh anih te, “Rhih boeh, paan lamtah na ol bangla saii. Tedae buh a yol khaw lamhma la kai ham saii lamtah kai taengla han khuen. Te phoeiah namah ham neh na capa ham tah a hnong a yai la saii.
14 For thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, The jar of meal shall not fail, neither shall the cruise of oil diminish, until the day that the Lord giveth rain upon the face of the earth.
Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. BOEIPA loh diklai hman ah khonal a paek la a paek tue hlan atah vaidam canghaek khaw muei pawt vetih situi um khaw kak mahpawh,” a ti nah.
15 And she went and did according to the word of Elijah: and she, and he, and her household, did eat [many] days.
Cet tih Elijah ol bangla a saii dongah amah neh, amah phoeiah Elijah neh a imkhui loh a tue yet a caak.
16 The jar of meal failed not, nor did the cruise of oil diminish, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken through means of Elijah.
Vaidam canghaek te ko pawt tih situi um khaw Elijah kut ah a thui BOEIPA ol bangla kak tlaih pawh.
17 And it came to pass after these events, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness became very severe, until that at length there was no breath left in him.
He ol a om phoeiah im kung nu kah a capa te tlo. A tloh te bahoeng nul coeng tih a khuiah a hiil pataeng om pawh.
18 And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O man of God? thou art come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son!
Te dongah Elijah te, “Kai taeng neh nang taengah balae aka om? Pathen kah hlang aw kai kathaesainah thoelh ham neh ka capa duek sak ham nim kai taengla na pawk?” a ti nah.
19 And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the upper chamber, in which he abode, and he laid him upon his own bed.
Tedae huta te, “Na capa te kai taengla m'pae,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah a rhang dong lamkah camoe a loh pah. Amah a om nah imhman la a khuen tih amah kah baiphaih dongah a yalh sak.
20 And he called unto the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?
Te phoeiah BOEIPA te a khue tih, “Ka Pathen BOEIPA aw, a taengah ka bakuep vaengah a capa te duek sak ham nuhmai soah khaw thae na huet a?” a ti nah.
21 And he stretched himself out over the child three times, and called unto the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, let, I pray thee, the soul of this child return again within him.
Camoe dongah voei thum bakop tih BOEIPA te a khue. Te vaengah ah, “Ka Pathen BOEIPA aw, camoe kah a hinglu he a khui la ham mael sak laeh,” a ti nah.
22 And the Lord listened to the voice of Elijah: and the soul of the child returned into him, and he revived.
Elijah ol te BOEIPA loh a yaak dongah camoe kah hinglu te a khui la mael tih hing.
23 And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the upper chamber into the house, and gave him unto his mother; and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth.
Elijah loh camoe te a loh tih imhman lamloh im khuila a suntlak puei. A manu taengah a paek tih Elijah loh, “Na capa kah a hingnah he so lah,” a ti nah.
24 And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this do I know, that thou art a man of God, and the word of the Lord in thy mouth is truth.
Te vaengah huta loh Elijah te, “Nang tah Pathen kah hlang tih na ka lamkah BOEIPA ol he oltak la ka ming coeng he,” a ti nah.
