1 Kings 17
1 And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, says to Ahab, “YHWH, God of Israel, lives, before whom I have stood, there is not dew and rain these years, except according to my word.”
Pea naʻe pehē kia ʻEhapi ʻe ʻIlaisiā ko e tangata Tisipa ʻaia naʻe ʻoe kakai ʻo Kiliati, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia ʻoku ou tuʻu ni ʻi hono ʻao, pea ʻe ʻikai ha hahau pe ha ʻuha ʻi he ngaahi taʻu ni, kae ʻi heʻeku lea ʻaʻaku.”
2 And the word of YHWH is to him, saying,
Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia, ʻo pehē,
3 “Go from this [place]; and you have turned for yourself eastward, and been hidden by the Brook of Cherith that [is] on the front of the Jordan,
“ʻAlu koe ʻi heni, pea ke foki atu ki he feituʻu hahake, pea fakafufū koe ki he [potu ]vaitafe ʻo Kiliti ʻaia ʻoku hanga atu ki Sioatani.
4 and it has been [that] you drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to sustain you there.”
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, te ke inu ai mei he vaitafe; pea kuo u fekau ki he fanga leveni ke fafangaʻi koe ʻi ai.”
5 And he goes and does according to the word of YHWH, indeed, he goes and dwells by the Brook of Cherith, that [is] on the front of the Jordan,
Ko ia, naʻa ne ʻalu ʻo ne fai ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova: he naʻa ne ʻalu ʻo nofo ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ko Kiliti, ʻaia ʻoku hanga atu ki Sioatani.
6 and the ravens are bringing bread and flesh to him in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening, and he drinks from the brook.
Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻae mā mo e kanomate kiate ia ʻe he fanga leveni ʻi he pongipongi, mo e mā mo e kanomate ʻi he efiafi; pea naʻa ne inu mei he vaitafe.
7 And it comes to pass, at the end of [the] days, that the brook dries up, for there has been no rain in the land,
Pea ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻoe ngaahi ʻaho niʻihi, naʻe mamaha ʻae vaitafe, koeʻuhi ko e ʻikai tō ha ʻuha ʻi he fonua.
8 and the word of YHWH is to him, saying,
Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia, ʻo pehē,
9 “Rise, go to Zarephath, that [belongs] to Sidon, and you have dwelt there; behold, I have commanded a widow woman to sustain you there.”
“Tuʻu hake, pea ke ʻalu ki Salifati ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Saitoni, pea ke nofo ai: vakai kuo u fekau ki ha fefine ʻi ai kuo pekia hono husepāniti ke ne tauhi koe.”
10 And he rises, and goes to Zarephath, and comes to the opening of the city, and behold, there [is] a widow woman gathering sticks, and he calls to her and says, “Please bring a little water to me in a vessel, and I drink.”
Ko ia naʻa ne tuʻu hake ai ʻo ʻalu ki Salifati. Pea ʻi heʻene hoko mai ki he matapā ʻoe kolo, vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae fefine paea naʻe fai ʻene okooko: pea naʻa ne ui ange kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke ʻomi ha momoʻi vai siʻi ʻi ha ipu ke u inu.”
11 And she goes to bring [it], and he calls to her and says, “Please bring a morsel of bread to me in your hand.”
Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu atu ko hono ʻomi, naʻa ne ui atu kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ʻomi kiate au ha momoʻi konga mā ʻi ho nima.”
12 And she says, “Your God YHWH lives, I do not have a cake, but the fullness of the hand of meal in a pitcher, and a little oil in a dish; and behold, I am gathering two sticks, and have gone in and prepared it for myself, and for my son, and we have eaten it—and died.”
Pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe ia, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ka ʻoku ʻikai te u maʻu ha foʻi mā, ka ko e falukunga pe taha ʻoe mahoaʻa ʻi ha puha, mo e kihiʻi lolo siʻi ʻi ha ipu: pea vakai, ʻoku ou okooko ni ʻae vaʻa ʻakau ʻe ua, koeʻuhi ke u ʻalu ʻo teuteu ia maʻaku mo ʻeku tama, koeʻuhi kema kai ia, pea ma toki mate.”
13 And Elijah says to her, “Do not fear, go, do according to your word, only make a little cake for me there, in the first place, and you have brought [it] out to me; and for you and for your son make [it] last;
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā kiate ia, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē; ʻalu ʻo fai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo lea: ka ke tomuʻa ngaohi mei ai ha kihiʻi foʻi mā maʻaku, pea ke toki ngaohi maʻau pea mo hoʻo tama.
14 for thus said YHWH, God of Israel: The pitcher of meal is not consumed, and the dish of oil is not lacking, until the day of YHWH’s giving a shower on the face of the ground.”
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ‘ʻE ʻikai fakaʻaʻau ke ʻosi ʻae mahoaʻa ʻi he puha, pea ʻe ʻikai maha ʻae lolo ʻi he ipu, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻe foaki ai ʻe Sihova ʻae ʻuha ki he fonua.’”
15 And she goes, and does according to the word of Elijah, and she eats, she and he and her household [for many] days;
Pea naʻe ʻalu ia mo ne fai ʻo tatau mo e lea ʻa ʻIlaisiā: pea ko ia, mo ia, pea mo hono kaungāfale, naʻa nau kai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho lahi.
16 the pitcher of meal was not consumed, and the dish of oil did not lack, according to the word of YHWH that He spoke by the hand of Elijah.
Pea naʻe ʻikai fakaʻaʻau ke ʻosi ʻae mahoaʻa ʻi he puha, pea naʻe ʻikai foki ke maha ʻae lolo ʻi he ipu, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki ʻia ʻIlaisiā.
17 And it comes to pass, after these things, the son of the woman, mistress of the house, has been sick, and his sickness is very severe until no breath has been left in him.
Pea ʻi heʻene hili ange ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe tō ʻae mahaki ki he tama ʻae fefine, ko e tauhi ʻoe fale; pea naʻe mālohi ʻaupito ʻa hono mahaki pea naʻe ʻikai kei hoko ʻa ʻene mānava.
18 And she says to Elijah, “What [is this] to me and to you, O man of God? You have come to me to cause my iniquity to be remembered, and to put my son to death!”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kia ʻIlaisiā, “ʻA koe, ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ko e hā au kiate koe? Kuo ke haʻu ke fakamanatuʻi kiate au ʻa ʻeku kovi, pea ke tāmateʻi ʻa ʻeku tama?”
19 And he says to her, “Give your son to me”; and he takes him out of her bosom, and takes him up to the upper chamber where he is abiding, and lays him on his own bed,
Pea naʻa ne pehē atu kiate ia, “Foaki mai ho tama kiate au.” Pea naʻa ne toʻo mai ia mei hono fatafata, ʻo ne ʻave ia ki he fata ʻi ʻolunga, ʻaia naʻa ne nofo ai, pea naʻa ne tuku hifo ia ki hono mohenga ʻoʻona.
20 and cries to YHWH and says, “My God YHWH, have You also brought calamity on the widow with whom I am sojourning, to put her son to death?”
Pea naʻa ne tangi kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, kuo ke ʻomi foki ʻae kovi ki he fefine paea ʻaia ʻoku ou nofo ki ai, ʻi hoʻo tāmateʻi ʻa ʻene tama?”
21 And he stretches himself out on the boy three times, and calls to YHWH and says, “O YHWH my God, please let the soul of this boy return into his midst”;
Pea naʻa ne fakafoʻofoʻohifo ia ki he tamasiʻi ʻo liunga tolu, mo ne tangi kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe tuku ke toe hoko mai ʻae laumālie ʻoe tamasiʻi ni kiate ia.”
22 and YHWH listens to the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the boy turns back into his midst, and he lives.
Pea naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae leʻo ʻo ʻIlaisiā; pea naʻe toe hoko mai ʻae laumālie ʻoe tamasiʻi kiate ia, pea naʻa ne toe moʻui.
23 And Elijah takes the boy, and brings him down from the upper chamber of the house, and gives him to his mother, and Elijah says, “See, your son lives!”
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻae tamasiʻi ʻe ʻIlaisiā, pea ne ʻohifo ia mei he potu ʻi ʻolunga ki fale, pea ne ʻatu ia ki heʻene faʻē: pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā, “Vakai, ʻoku moʻui hoʻo tama.”
24 And the woman says to Elijah, “Now [by] this I have known that you [are] a man of God, and the word of YHWH in your mouth [is] truth.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fefine kia ʻIlaisiā, “Ko eni ko e meʻa ni ʻoku ou ʻilo ai ko e tangata koe ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ho ngutu, ʻoku moʻoni ia.”
