1 Kings 17
1 And he said Elijah the Tishbite one of [the] resident aliens of Gilead to Ahab [by] [the] life of Yahweh [the] God of Israel whom I stand before him if it will be the years these dew and rain that except to [the] mouth of word my.
Na rĩrĩ, Elija ũrĩa Mũtishibi kuuma Tishibi, thĩinĩ wa Gileadi, akĩĩra Ahabu atĩrĩ, “O ta ũrĩa Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, atũũraga muoyo, ũrĩa niĩ ndungatagĩra-rĩ, mĩaka ĩrĩa ĩgũũka gũtigũcooka kũgĩa ime kana mbura, tiga na ũndũ wa kiugo gĩakwa.”
2 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to him saying.
Ningĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩgĩkinyĩra Elija akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
3 Go from here and you will turn yourself east-ward and you will hide yourself at [the] wadi of Kerith which [is] on [the] face of the Jordan.
“Ũkĩra uume gũkũ, werekere mwena wa irathĩro, ũkehithe mũkuru-inĩ wa Kerithu mwena wa irathĩro wa Jorodani.
4 And it will be from the wadi you will drink and the ravens I have commanded to supply you there.
Ũrĩnyuuaga maaĩ karũũĩ-inĩ kau, na nĩnjathĩte mahuru makũrehagĩre irio kuo.”
5 And he went and he did according to [the] word of Yahweh and he went and he dwelt at [the] wadi of Kerith which [is] on [the] face of the Jordan.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Elija agĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwĩrire. Agĩthiĩ mũkuru-inĩ wa Kerithu, mwena wa irathĩro wa Jorodani, na agĩikara kuo.
6 And the ravens [were] bringing to him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening and from the wadi he drank.
Mahuru maamũtwaragĩra mũgate na nyama rũciinĩ, na makamũtwarĩra mũgate na nyama hwaĩ-inĩ, nake akanyuuaga maaĩ ma karũũĩ kau.
7 And it was from [the] end of days and it dried up the wadi for not it had been rain in the land.
Thuutha ũcio, karũũĩ kau gakĩhũa tondũ gũtikoretwo kũrĩ na mbura bũrũri ũcio.
8 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to him saying.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩgĩkinyĩra Elija rĩngĩ, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
9 Arise go Zarephath towards which [belongs] to Sidon and you will dwell there here! I have commanded there a woman a widow to supply you.
“Thiĩ o rĩmwe nginya Zarefathu kũu Sidoni ũgaikare kuo. Nĩnjathĩte mũtumia wa ndigwa wa kũu akũheage irio.”
10 And he arose - and he went Zarephath towards and he came to [the] entrance of the city and there! there a woman a widow [was] gathering wood and he called out to her and he said get please for me a little of water in vessel so I may drink.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩthiĩ Zarefathu. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aakinyire kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra, agĩkora mũtumia wa ndigwa hau akĩũngania tũkũ. Akĩmwĩta, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wahota kũndehera tũũĩ tũnini na gĩkombe nĩgeetha nyue?”
11 And she went to get [it] and he called out to her and he said get please for me a piece of bread in hand your.
Mũtumia ũcio agĩtua gũthiĩ kũmũgĩĩrĩra maaĩ-rĩ, akĩmwĩta, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndagũthaitha ndehera kĩenyũ kĩa mũgate ndĩe.”
12 And she said [by] [the] life of Yahweh God your if there to me [is] food that except [the] fullness of a palm of flour in jar and a little of oil in jug and here I [am] gathering two wood and I will go and I will prepare it for myself and for son my and we will eat it and we will die.
Mũtumia ũcio akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova Ngai waku atũũraga muoyo-rĩ, niĩ ndirĩ na mũgate no kamũtu kanini karĩ ndigithũ-inĩ na tũguta tũnini tũrĩ cuba-inĩ. Na rĩu ndĩrongania tũkũ tũtũ ndware mũciĩ, nĩgeetha ngaruge irio ciakwa na mwana wakwa, nĩguo tũrĩe tũcooke tũkue.”
13 And he said to her Elijah may not you fear go do according to word your only make for me from there a bread cake small at first and you will bring [it] out to me and for yourself and for son your you will prepare at the last.
Elija akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tiga gwĩtigĩra. Thiĩ mũciĩ na wĩke o ro ũguo woiga. No wambe ũndugĩre kamũgate kanini kuumanagia na kĩrĩa ũrĩ nakĩo, ũndehere ũcooke wĩthondekere wee na mwana waku.
14 For thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel [the] jar of flour not it will be at an end and [the] jug of oil not it will be lacking until [the] day (gives *Q(k)*) Yahweh rain on [the] surface of the ground.
Tondũ ũũ nĩguo Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli ekuuga: ‘Ndigithũ ndĩrĩ hĩndĩ ĩgathira mũtu namo maguta matirĩ hĩndĩ magathira cuba-inĩ, nginya mũthenya ũrĩa Jehova akaheana mbura bũrũri-inĩ ũyũ.’”
15 And she went and she did according to [the] word of Elijah and she ate (she and he *Q(K)*) and household her days.
Nake agĩthiĩ agĩĩka o ũguo Elija aamwĩrire. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio o mũthenya nĩ kwarĩ na irio cia Elija, na cia mũtumia ũcio na nyũmba yake.
16 [the] jar of Flour not it was at an end and [the] jug of oil not it was lacking according to [the] word of Yahweh which he spoke by [the] hand of Elijah.
Nĩgũkorwo ndigithũ ndĩathiraga mũtu nayo cuba ndĩathiraga maguta, kũringana na kiugo kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa kĩarĩtio nĩ Elija.
17 And it was after the things these he became sick [the] son of the woman [the] mistress of the house and it was sickness his severe very until that not it was left in him breath.
Thuutha ũcio mũriũ wa mũtumia ũcio mwene mũciĩ akĩrwara. Nake akĩĩhĩrwo mũno makĩria, nginya agĩtiga kũhihia.
18 And she said to Elijah what? [is] to me and to you O man of God you have come to me to bring to remembrance iniquity my and to put to death son my.
Mũtumia ũcio akĩĩra Elija atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũhoro ũrĩkũ ũrĩ naguo na niĩ, wee mũndũ wa Ngai? Kaĩ wokire kũndirikania mehia makwa, na ũũrage mũrũ wakwa?”
19 And he said to her give to me son your and he took him from bosom her and he took up him to the upper room where he [was] dwelling there and he made lie him on bed his.
Nake Elija akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nengera mũrũguo,” akĩmũruta moko-inĩ make, akĩmũtwara kanyũmba ka igũrũ karĩa aikaraga, akĩmũkomia ũrĩrĩ-inĩ wake.
20 And he called out to Yahweh and he said O Yahweh God my ¿ also on the widow whom I [am] staying as a sojourner with her have you done harm by putting to death son her.
Nake agĩkaĩra Jehova, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Wee Jehova Ngai wakwa, kaĩ ningĩ warehere mũtumia ũyũ wa ndigwa mũtino, ũyũ njikarĩte ndĩ mũgeni gwake, na ũndũ wa kũreka mũriũ wake akue?”
21 And he stretched himself over the lad three times and he called out to Yahweh and he said O Yahweh God my let it return please [the] life of the lad this to inward part[s] his.
Nake agĩĩtambũrũkia igũrũ rĩa kahĩĩ kau maita matatũ na agĩkaĩra Jehova, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Wee Jehova Ngai wakwa, reke muoyo wa kahĩĩ gaka ũgacookerere!”
22 And he listened Yahweh to [the] voice of Elijah and it returned [the] life of the lad to inward part[s] his and he lived.
Jehova akĩigua gũkaya kwa Elija, naguo muoyo wa kahĩĩ kau ũgĩgacookerera, gagĩcooka muoyo.
23 And he took Elijah the lad and he brought down him from the upper room the house towards and he gave him to mother his and he said Elijah see [is] alive son your.
Elija akĩoya mwana ũcio akĩmũikũrũkia kuuma kanyũmba ka igũrũ, akĩmũtoonyia nyũmba. Akĩmũnengera nyina, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ta kĩrore, mũrũguo arĩ muoyo!”
24 And she said the woman to Elijah now this I know that [are] a man of God you and [the] word of Yahweh in mouth your [is] truth.
Nake mũtumia ũcio akĩĩra Elija atĩrĩ, “Rĩu nĩndamenya atĩ ũrĩ mũndũ wa Ngai, na atĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa kiumĩte kanua gaku nĩ kĩa ma.”
