1 Kings 17
1 And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, saith unto Ahab, 'Jehovah, God of Israel, liveth, before whom I have stood, there is not these years dew and rain, except according to my word.'
Afei, Elia a ofi Tisbi a ɛwɔ Gilead no ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene Ahab se, “Mmere dodow a Awurade, Onyankopɔn a mesɔre no som no, Israel Nyankopɔn te ase yi, ɛbɔ rensi, na osu nso rentɔ mfe kakraa bi mu, gye sɛ ɛnam mʼasɛm so.”
2 And the word of Jehovah is unto him, saying,
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Elia se,
3 'Go from this [place]; and thou hast turned for thee eastward, and been hidden by the brook Cherith, that [is] on the front of the Jordan,
“Kɔ asu Kerit a ɛwɔ apuei fam no a ɛbɔ Asubɔnten Yordan mu no, na kohintaw hɔ.
4 and it hath been, from the brook thou dost drink, and the ravens I have commanded to sustain thee there.'
Nom asu no mu nsu, na di nea kwaakwaadabi no de bɛbrɛ wo, efisɛ, mahyɛ sɛ wɔmmrɛ wo aduan.”
5 And he goeth and doth according to the word of Jehovah, yea, he goeth and dwelleth by the brook Cherith, that [is] on the front of the Jordan,
Enti Elia yɛɛ sɛnea Awurade aka akyerɛ no no. Ɔbɔɔ atenae wɔ asu Kerit ho.
6 and the ravens are bringing to him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening, and of the brook he drinketh.
Kwaakwaadabi no brɛɛ no brodo ne nam anɔpa ne anwummere biara, na ɔnom nsu fii asu no mu.
7 And it cometh to pass, at the end of days, that the brook drieth up, for there hath been no rain in the land,
Akyiri no, asu no yowee, efisɛ na osu ntɔ wɔ asase no so baabiara.
8 and the word of Jehovah is unto him, saying,
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Elia se,
9 'Rise, go to Zarephath, that [is] to Zidon, and thou hast dwelt there; lo, I have commanded there a widow woman to sustain thee.'
“Kɔ na kɔtena akuraa Sarefat a ɛbɛn Sidon kurow no mu. Okunafo bi wɔ hɔ a ɔbɛma wo aduan adi. Makyerɛ no nea ɔnyɛ.”
10 And he riseth, and goeth to Zarephath, and cometh in unto the opening of the city, and lo there, a widow woman gathering sticks, and he calleth unto her, and saith, 'Bring, I pray thee, to me, a little water in a vessel, and I drink.'
Na Elia kɔɔ Sarefat. Oduu kurow no abɔntenpon no ano no, ohuu okunafo bi a ɔrehwehwɛ mmabaa. Obisaa no se, “Mesrɛ wo, wubetumi ama me nsu kuruwa ma bi?”
11 And she goeth to bring [it], and he calleth unto her and saith, 'Bring, I pray thee, to me a morsel of bread in thy hand.'
Ɔrekɔsaw nsu no aba no, ɔsrɛɛ no se, “Ɛyɛ a fa brodo sin bi nso ka ho.”
12 And she saith, 'Jehovah thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but the fulness of the hand of meal in a pitcher, and a little oil in a dish; and lo, 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.'
Okunafo no kae se, “Meka Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn no ntam se, minni brodo sin koraa wɔ fie. Na nea mewɔ wɔ fie yɛ asikresiam kakra ne ngo toa ase kakraa bi. Mekɔpɛɛ mmabaa kakra a mede bɛnoa aduan a etwa to, na me ne me babarima adi, na afei yɛawuwu.”
13 And Elijah saith unto her, 'Fear not, go, do according to thy word, only make for me thence a little cake, in the first place, and thou hast brought out to me; and for thee and for thy son make — last;
Nanso Elia ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Nsuro! Kɔ na kɔnoa aduan a etwa to no. Nanso ɛyɛ a, to brodo ketewa bi di kan ma me ansa. Na ɛno akyi no, aduan bebree bɛka ama wo ne wo ba no.
14 for thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, The pitcher of meal is not consumed, and the dish of oil is not lacking, till the day of Jehovah's giving a shower on the face of the ground.'
Na sɛɛ na Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn ka, ‘Daa asikresiam ne ngo pii bɛka wɔ wo adekorade no mu kosi bere a Awurade bɛma osu atɔ, ama nnɔbae anyin bio.’”
15 And she goeth, and doth according to the word of Elijah, and she eateth, she and he, and her household — days;
Na ɔyɛɛ sɛnea Elia kae no. Enti ɔno, Elia ne ne ba no kɔɔ so dii asikresiam ne ngo a na ɔwɔ no ara nna bebree.
16 the pitcher of meal was not consumed, and the dish of oil did not lack, according to the word of Jehovah that He spake by the hand of Elijah.
Bere biara na wɔwɔ asikresiam ne ngo a ɛbɛso wɔn di wɔ wɔn adekorade mu sɛnea Awurade nam Elia so hyɛɛ ho bɔ no.
17 And it cometh to pass, after these things, the son of the woman, mistress of the house, hath been sick, and his sickness is very severe till that no breath hath been left in him.
Akyiri no, ɔbea no babarima no yaree. Ɔyare no kɔɔ so ara kosii sɛ abofra no wui.
18 And she saith unto Elijah, 'What — to me and to thee, O man of God? thou hast come unto me to cause mine iniquity to be remembered, and to put my son to death!'
Ɔbea no bisaa Elia se, “Onyankopɔn nipa, dɛn na woayɛ me yi? Wobaa ha sɛ worebɛtwe mʼaso wɔ me bɔne a mayɛ ho nti na woakum me ba yi?”
19 And he saith unto her, 'Give to me thy son;' and he taketh him out of her bosom, and taketh him up unto the upper chamber where he is abiding, and layeth him on his own bed,
Nanso Elia ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Fa wo ba no ma me.” Na ogyee abarimaa no fii ne nsam. Ɔde no kɔɔ soro dan bi a wɔsoɛɛ mu no mu. Ɔde owufo no too ne mpa so.
20 and crieth unto Jehovah, and saith, 'Jehovah my God, also on the widow with whom I am sojourning hast Thou done evil — to put her son to death?'
Elia su guu Awurade so se, “Awurade, adɛn nti na wode saa awerɛhow yi abɛto okunafo yi a ɔde ne fi asom me hɔho yi so, na wama ne ba awu yi?”
21 And he stretcheth himself out on the lad three times, and calleth unto Jehovah, and saith, 'O Jehovah my God, let turn back, I pray Thee, the soul of this lad into his midst;'
Obutuw abofra no so mprɛnsa, su guu Awurade so se, “Ao Awurade, me Nyankopɔn, mesrɛ, ma abofra yi nnya nkwa bio.”
22 and Jehovah hearkeneth to the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the lad turneth back into his midst, and he liveth.
Awurade tiee Elia mpaebɔ, na abofra no nyaa nkwa bio.
23 And Elijah taketh the lad, and bringeth him down from the upper chamber of the house, and giveth him to his mother, and Elijah saith, 'See, thy son liveth!'
Enti Elia de no fi soro hɔ brɛɛ ne na, ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Hwɛ, wo ba no anyan.”
24 And the woman saith unto Elijah, 'Now, this I have known, that a man of God thou [art], and the word of Jehovah in thy mouth [is] truth.'
Na ɔbea no ka kyerɛɛ Elia se, “Afei, mahu pefee sɛ woyɛ Onyankopɔn nipa, na Awurade kasa fa wo so ampa.”
