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.
Afei, Elia a ɔfiri Tisbi a ɛwɔ Gilead no ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene Ahab sɛ, “Mmerɛ dodoɔ a Awurade, Onyankopɔn a mesɔre no som no, Israel Onyankopɔn te ase yi, ɛbɔ rensi, na osuo nso rentɔ mfeɛ kakra bi mu, gye sɛ ɛnam mʼasɛm so.”
2 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to him saying.
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Elia sɛ,
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.
“Kɔ asuo Kerit a ɛwɔ apueeɛ fam no a ɛbɔ Asubɔnten Yordan mu no, na kɔhinta hɔ.
4 And it will be from the wadi you will drink and the ravens I have commanded to supply you there.
Nom asuo no mu nsuo, na di deɛ anene no de bɛbrɛ wo, ɛfiri sɛ, mahyɛ sɛ wɔmmrɛ wo aduane.”
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.
Enti, Elia yɛɛ sɛdeɛ Awurade aka akyerɛ no no. Ɔbɔɔ atenaeɛ wɔ asuo Kerit ho.
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.
Anene no brɛɛ no burodo ne ɛnam anɔpa ne anwummerɛ biara, na ɔnom nsuo firii asuo no mu.
7 And it was from [the] end of days and it dried up the wadi for not it had been rain in the land.
Na akyire yi, asuo no weeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, na osuo ntɔ wɔ asase no so baabiara.
8 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to him saying.
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Elia sɛ,
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.
“Kɔ na kɔtena akuraa Sarefat a ɛbɛn Sidon kuro no mu. Okunafoɔ bi wɔ hɔ a ɔbɛma wo aduane adi. Makyerɛ no deɛ ɔnyɛ.”
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.
Na Elia kɔɔ Sarefat. Ɔduruu kuro no abɔntenpono no ano no, ɔhunuu okunafoɔ bi a ɔrehwehwɛ mmabaa. Ɔbisaa no sɛ, “Mesrɛ wo, wobɛtumi ama me nsuo kuruwama bi?”
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.
Ɔrekɔsa nsuo no aba no, ɔsrɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɛyɛ a fa burodo sini bi nso ka ho.”
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.
Okunafoɔ no kaa sɛ, “Meka Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn no ntam sɛ, menni burodo sini koraa wɔ fie. Na deɛ mewɔ wɔ efie yɛ asikyiresiam kakra ne ngo toa ase kakraa bi. Mekɔpɛɛ mmabaa kakra a mede bɛnoa aduane a ɛtwa toɔ, na me ne me babarima adi, na afei yɛawuwu.”
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.
Nanso, Elia ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Nsuro! Kɔ na kɔnoa aduane a ɛtwa toɔ no. Nanso, ɛyɛ a, to burodo ketewa bi di ɛkan ma me ansa. Na ɛno akyi no, aduane bebree bɛka ama wo ne wo ba no.
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.
Na deɛ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn ka ne sɛ, ‘Daa asikyiresiam ne ngo pii bɛka wɔ wo adekoradeɛ no mu kɔsi ɛberɛ a Awurade bɛma osuo atɔ, ama nnɔbaeɛ anyini bio.’”
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.
Na ɔyɛɛ sɛdeɛ Elia kaeɛ no. Enti ɔno, Elia ne ne ba no kɔɔ so dii asikyiresiam ne ngo a na ɔwɔ no ara nna bebree.
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.
Ɛberɛ biara na wɔwɔ asikyiresiam ne ngo a ɛbɛso wɔn di wɔ wɔn adekoradeɛ mu sɛdeɛ Awurade nam Elia so hyɛɛ ho bɔ no.
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.
Akyire yi, ɔbaa no babarima no yareeɛ. Yadeɛ no kɔɔ so ara kɔsii sɛ abɔfra no wuiɛ.
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.
Ɔbaa no bisaa Elia sɛ, “Ao, Onyankopɔn onipa, ɛdeɛn na woayɛ me yi? Wobaa ha sɛ worebɛtwe mʼaso wɔ me bɔne a mayɛ ho enti na woakum me ba yi?”
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.
Nanso, Elia ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Fa wo ba no ma me.” Na ɔgyee abarimaa no firii ne nsam. Ɔde no kɔɔ ɛsoro dan bi a wɔsoɛɛ no mu no mu. Ɔde owufoɔ no too ne mpa so.
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.
Elia su guu Awurade so sɛ, “Ao, Awurade, adɛn enti na wode saa awerɛhoɔ yi abɛto okunafoɔ yi a ɔde ne fie asom me hɔhoɔ yi so, na wama ne ba awuo yi?”
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.
Ɔbutuu abɔfra no so mprɛnsa, su guu Awurade so sɛ, “Ao Awurade, me Onyankopɔn, mesrɛ, ma abɔfra yi nnya nkwa bio.”
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.
Awurade tiee Elia mpaeɛbɔ, na abɔfra no nyaa nkwa bio.
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.
Enti, Elia de no firi soro hɔ brɛɛ ne maame, ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Hwɛ, wo ba no anyane.”
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.
Na ɔbaa no ka kyerɛɛ Elia sɛ, “Afei, mahunu pefee sɛ woyɛ Onyankopɔn onipa, na Awurade kasa fa wo so ampa.”
