1 Kings 17
1 Elijah was [a prophet] who lived in Tishbe [town] in [the] Gilead [region]. One day he [went to] King Ahab and said to him, “Yahweh is the God whom we Israelis [worship] and the God whom I worship and serve. Just as certainly as Yahweh lives, there will be no dew or rain for the next few years, if I do not command rain to fall!”
Balofede dunu ea dio amo Ilaidia (e da Disiabe moilai Gilia: de soge ganodini amoga misi) e da hina bagade A: iha: be ema amane sia: i, “Na da Isala: ili Hina Gode Esala amo Ea hawa: hamosu dunu. Amola Ea Dioba: le, na da amane sia: sa. We galu, ode aduna o udiana agoanega, oubi baeya o gibu da hame ba: mu. Be na da bu gibu sa: ima: ne sia: beba: le fawane bu sa: imu.”
2 Then Yahweh said to Elijah,
Amalalu, Hina Gode da Ilaidiama amane sia: i,
3 “[Because you have made the king angry with you, escape from the king and, ] go to the east, to the Kerith Brook, east of where it flows into the Jordan [River].
“Amo sogebi yolesili, gusudili asili, Gilede Hano amo da Yodane Hano gusudili gala, amogai wamoaligima.
4 You will be able to drink water from the brook, and [you will be able to eat what] the crows [bring to you, because] I have commanded them to bring food to you.”
Di da amo hanoga hano manu. Amola Na da ilima hamoma: ne sia: beba: le, da: sio agoai da amogawi dima ha: i manu gaguli hagili masu hamomu.”
5 So Elijah did what Yahweh commanded him to do. He went and camped alongside Kerith Brook.
Ilaidia da Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i nabawane hamone, asili, Gilede Hano gadenene esalu.
6 Crows bought bread and meat to him every morning and every evening, and he drank [water] from the brook.
E da amo hanoga hano nanu, amola da: sio agoai da hahabe amola daeya huluane, ema agi amola ohe hu gaguli masu.
7 But after a while, the water in the brook dried up, because rain did not fall anywhere in the land.
Amalalu fa: no, gibu da hame sa: iba: le, Gilede Hano da hafoga: i dagoi ba: i.
8 Then Yahweh said to Elijah,
Amalalu, Hina Gode da Ilaidiama amane sia: i,
9 “Go and live in Zarephath [village], near Sidon [city]. There is a widow there who will give you food to eat. I have [already] told her what to do about that.”
“Wali, di Sa: lefa: de moilai, Saidone moilai gadenene, amoga asili, esaloma. Na da uda didalo amogawi esala, amoea digili ha: i manu ima: ne, Na da sia: i dagoi.”
10 So [Elijah did what God said]. He went to Zarephath. As he arrived at the gates of the village, he saw a widow who was gathering sticks. He said to her, “Would you please bring me a cup of water?”
Amaiba: le, Ilaidia da asili, Sa: lefa: de moilaiga doaga: i. E da moilai logo ga: sua doaga: le, didalo amo da lalu habei gagadolalebe ba: i. E da amo didaloma amane sia: i, “Na hano manusa: nafae hano dili ima.”
11 While she was going to get it, he called out to her, “Bring me a piece of bread, too!”
Didalo da hano dimusa: ahoanoba, Ilaidia da ema amane wele sia: i, “Na da agi amola hano na manusa: gaguli misa!”
12 But she replied, “Your God knows that what I am telling you is true: I do not have even one piece of bread in my house. I have only a handful of flour in a jar, and a little [olive] oil in a jug. I was gathering a few sticks to use these to [make a fire and] cook one more meal, and then after my son and I eat that, we will die [from hunger].”
Didalo da bu adole i, “Na da dia Hina Gode Esala, amo Ea Dioba: le dafawane ilegele sia: sa. Na da agi hamedafa gala. Na da ofodo ganodini, falaua gasa: i afae amola ganagu ganodini olife susuligi di fonobahadidafa, amo fawane gala. Na da lalu habemusa: guiguda: misi. Amasea, na da na diasuga asili, ha: i manu na gagui amo nagofe ania manusa: momagemu. Amalalu, ha: i manu eno hameba: le, ania da ha: ga bogomu.”
13 But Elijah said to her, “Do not be worried! Go home and do what you said that you were going to do. But first, bake me a little loaf of bread and bring it to me. After you do that, take what is left and prepare some food for you and your son.
Ilaidia da ema amane sia: i, “Mae da: i dioma! Dia ha: i manu gobema! Be hidadea, nagili manusa: , dia ha: i manu gagui amoga lale, agi fonobahadi ga: gini, nama gaguli misa. Amasea, eno dialebe amoga di amola dia mano ali manusa: gobema.
14 [I know that you will be able to do that, ] because Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says this: ‘There will always be plenty of flour and [olive] oil left in your containers, until the time when I send rain again [and the crops grow again]!’”
Bai, Isala: ili Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, ‘Ofodo amo ganodini falaua da hame ebelemu, amola ganagu amo ganodini susuligi di da hame ebelei dialeawane, Na, Hina Gode da gibu iabeba: le fawane, ebelei dagoi ba: mu.’”
15 So the woman did exactly what Elijah told her to do. And she and her son and Elijah had enough food every day,
Didalo da asili, Ilaidia ea hamoma: ne sia: i defele hamoi. Amalalu, ilia huluane da eso bagohame ha: i manu defele mai.
16 because the flour in the jar was never finished, and the jug of oil was never empty. That happened just like Yahweh had told Elijah that it would happen.
Hina Gode da Ilaidia ea lafidili sia: i, amo defele, ofodo ganodini falaua amola ganagu ganodini susuligi di da ebelemu hamedafa ba: i.
17 Some time later, the woman’s son became sick. He continued to get worse, and finally he died.
Amalalu, fa: no, didalo egefe da olo madelai. E da mae uhini, gebewane ololalawane bogoi.
18 So the woman went to Elijah and said to him, “You are a prophet; so why have you done this to me? Have you come here to punish me for my sins by causing my son to die?”
Didalo da Ilaidiama amane sia: i, “Di! Gode fi dunu! Dia da abuliba: le nama agoane hamobela: ? Di da Godema na wadela: i hou na bu dawa: ma: ne adomusa: , amola na mano ea bogosu logo doasimusa: , guiguda: misibala: ?”
19 But Elijah replied, “Give your son to me.” So she gave her son to him, and he took the boy’s [body] from her and carried it up [the steps] to the room where he stayed. He laid the boy’s [body] on his bed.
Ilaidia da amane sia: i, “Dia mano nama ima!” E da didalo ea mano loboga lale, ea lobo sesege da: iya ouga: ne, fa: guba: le heda: le, ea esalebe sesei amo ganodini, ea diaheda: su da: iya ligisi.
20 Then Elijah cried out to Yahweh, “O Yahweh my God, this widow [has kindly allowed] me to stay in her home. So why have you brought this tragedy to her and caused her son to die?” [RHQ]
Amalalu, e da ha: giwane Godema sia: ne gadoi, “Na Hina Gode! Di da abuliba: le amo didaloma se nabima: ne amo hou hamobela: ? E da nama asigiba: le, na noga: le ouligi. Be wali Di da ea mano fane legei dagoi.”
21 Then Elijah stretched himself on top of the boy’s [body] and called out to Yahweh saying, “Yahweh my God, please allow this boy to become alive again!” He did this three times.
Amalalu, e da udiana agoane bogoi da: iya mogosusuli diaheda: le, amane sia: ne gadoi, “Na Hina Gode! Amo mano bu esaloma: ne uhinisima!”
22 Yahweh heard what Elijah prayed, and [he caused] the boy [to] become alive again [DOU].
Hina Gode da Ilaidia ea sia: ne gadosu nababeba: le, ea adole ba: i defele, mano da uhinisi, bu mifo lai.
23 Elijah carried the boy down [the steps] and gave him to his mother. He said, “Look, your son is alive!”
Ilaidia da amo mano gaguli, fa: guba: le gudu sa: ili, ea amema bu oule asi. E da didaloma amane sia: i, “Ba: ma! Diagofe da esalebe wea!”
24 The woman said to Elijah, “Now I know [for certain] that you are a prophet and that the words that you speak are truly from Yahweh!”
Didalo da bu adole i, “Dafawane! Na da wali dafawaneyale dawa: be! Di da Gode Ea fi dunudafa, amola Hina Gode da dafawane dia lafidili sia: sa.”
