Awo Eriya Omutisubi ow’e Tisubi mu Gireyaadi, n’agamba Akabu nti, “Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri gwe mpeereza nga bw’ali omulamu, tewaabe musulo newaakubadde enkuba mu myaka egijja wabula olw’ekigambo kyange.”
2 Yehowa gblɔ na Eliya bena,
Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Eriya nga kigamba nti,
3 “Yi ɣedzeƒe eye nàbe ɖe Kerit tɔʋu la to, le afi si tɔʋu sia de nu Yɔdan tɔsisi la me le la ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo.
“Vva wano ogende ebuvanjuba weekweke ku kagga Kerisi akoolekera Yoludaani.
4 No tsi le tɔʋu la me eye nàɖu nu si akpaviãwo atsɔ vɛ na wò elabena mana be woatsɔ nuɖuɖu vɛ na wo.”
Ojja kunywanga mu kagga, era ndagidde bannamuŋŋoona okukuliisiza eyo.”
5 Ale Eliya wɔ nu si Yehowa ɖo nɛ eye wònɔ tɔʋu la to.
N’akola nga Mukama bwe yamulagira, n’alaga ku kagga Kerisi, akoolekera Yoludaani, n’abeera eyo.
6 Akpaviãwo tsɔa abolo kple lã vanɛ nɛ gbe sia gbe, ŋdi kple fiẽ eye wònoa tsi le tɔʋu la me.
Bannamuŋŋoona ne bamuleeteranga emmere n’ennyama buli nkya na buli kawungeezi, era n’anywanga mu kagga.
7 Ke le ɣeyiɣi aɖe megbe la, tɔʋu la mie elabena tsi megadza ɖe anyigba la dzi kpɔ o.
Bwe waayitawo ebbanga, akagga ne kakalira olw’obutabaawo nkuba mu nsi.
8 Yehowa ƒe nya va na Eliya bena,
Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kimujjira nga kigamba nti,
9 “Yi Sidon ƒe Zarefat enumake eye nànɔ afi ma. Megblɔ na ahosi aɖe le afi ma be wòana nuɖuɖu wò.”
“Situkiramu ogende e Zalefaasi ekya Sidoni obeere eyo. Ndagidde nnamwandu ali eyo okukuwanga emmere.”
10 Ale wòyi ɖe Zarefat. Esi wòva ɖo Zarefat ƒe agbo nu la, ahosi aɖe nɔ afi ma, nɔ nake fɔm. Eyɔe eye wòbiae be, “Àku tsi vi aɖe ɖe kplu me vɛ nam manoa?”
Awo n’agolokoka n’alaga e Zalefaasi. Bwe yatuuka ku wankaaki w’ekibuga, waliwo nnamwandu eyali alondalonda obuku. Eriya n’amusaba ng’agamba nti, “Nkwegayiridde, ndeetera ku mazzi matono mu kibya nnyweko.”
11 Esi ahosi la trɔ yina be yeaku tsi la vɛ nɛ la, Eliya yɔe, gblɔ nɛ be, “Nyo dɔ me nàtsɔ abolo aɖe hã kpe ɖe tsi la ŋu vɛ nam.”
Bwe yali ng’agenda okugakima, Eriya n’amukoowoola ng’agamba nti, “Nkwegayiridde, ndeeteraayo n’omugaati.”
12 Ahosi la ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Meta Yehowa, wò Mawu la ƒe agbe be, abolo aɖeke mele asinye o negbe wɔ asiʋlo ɖeka si le wɔze me kple ami sue aɖe si le amigoe me ko. Mele nake ʋɛ siawo fɔm atsɔ ayi aƒe mee ne maɖa nu nye kple vinye ŋutsu míaɖu eye míaku.”
N’addamu nti, “Mukama nga bw’ali omulamu, sirina mugaati okuggyako olubatu lw’obutta mu kibya n’otufuta mu kasumbi, era kaakano nkuŋŋaanya buku mbutwale eka neefumbire nze n’omwana wange tubulye tufe.”
13 Eliya gblɔ nɛ be, “Mègavɔ̃ o; yi aƒe me eye nàwɔ abe ale si nègblɔ ene gake gbã la, ƒo abolo sue aɖe kple wɔ la ƒe ɖe eye nàtsɔe vɛ nam. Emegbe nàɖa nane na wò ŋutɔ kple viwò ŋutsu la
Eriya n’amugamba nti, “Totya. Genda eka okole nga bw’ogambye. Naye sooka onfumbire akagaati, okuva mu by’olina okandeteere, oluvannyuma weefumbire ggwe n’omwana wo.
14 elabena ale Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye si, ‘Wɔ mavɔ le wò wɔze me o eye ami hã mavɔ le wò amigoe me o va se ɖe esime Yehowa nana tsi nadza ɖe anyigba dzi.’”
Kubanga kino Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri ky’agamba nti, ‘Ekibya ky’obutta tekiriggwaamu, so n’akasumbi k’amafuta tekalikalira okutuusa olunaku Mukama lw’alitonyesa enkuba ku nsi.’”
15 Ale ahosi la wɔ nu si Eliya gblɔ nɛ eye Eliya kple eya kple via siaa kpɔa nuɖuɖu tso wɔ la kple ami la me ŋkeke ale si wohiã wo.
N’agenda n’akola nga Eriya bwe yamugamba, era ne waba emmere bulijjo eya Eriya ne nnamwandu n’amaka ge.
16 Elabena wɔ mevɔ le wɔze la me eye ami hã mevɔ le amigoe la me o le nya si Yehowa gblɔ to Eliya dzi la nu.
Ekibya ky’obutta tekyakendeera wadde akasumbi k’amafuta okukalira, ng’ekigambo kya Mukama kye yayogerera mu Eriya bwe kyali.
17 Le ɣeyiɣi aɖewo megbe la, nyɔnu si nye aƒea nɔ la ƒe viŋutsu dze dɔ. Dɔ la sesẽ nɛ tso ŋkeke me yi ŋkeke me eye mlɔeba la, eƒe gbɔgbɔ nu tso.
Bwe waayitawo ebbanga, omwana wa nnamwandu n’alwala nnyo, obulwadde ne bweyongera okutuusa lwe yafa.
18 Egblɔ na Eliya be, “Oo Mawu ƒe ame, nya kae le asiwò ɖe ŋutinye? Ɖe nèva be yeaɖo ŋku nye nu vɔ̃wo dzi nam eye nàwu vinyeŋutsua?”
Nnamwandu n’agamba Eriya nti, “Kiki ky’onnanga, omusajja wa Katonda? Wajja okunzijukiza ekibi kyange n’okutta omwana wange?”
19 Eliya ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Tsɔ viwò ŋutsuvi la nam.” Exɔe le eƒe abɔwo dome hetsɔe yi eƒe xɔ me le dziƒoxɔ dzi eye wòtsɔe mlɔ eƒe aba dzi.
Eriya n’amuddamu nti, “Mpa omwana wo.” N’amuggya mu kifuba kye, n’amusitula n’amutwala mu kisenge ekya waggulu gye yabeeranga, n’amugalamiza ku kitanda kye.
20 Tete wòdo ɣli na Yehowa be, “Oo Yehowa, nye Mawu, ɖe nèhe dzɔgbevɔ̃e va ahosi si gbɔ mele la hã dzi eye nèna via ŋutsuvi la kua?”
N’akoowoola Mukama ng’agamba nti, “Ayi Mukama Katonda wange, ne nnamwandu ono gwe mbeera naye omuleeseko ekikangabwa kino, n’otta omwana we?”
21 Eliya dra ɖe ɖevi la dzi zi etɔ̃ eye wòdo ɣli na Yehowa, be, “Oo, Yehowa, nye Mawu, na be ɖevi sia ƒe agbe natrɔ ava eme!”
Eriya ne yeegololera ku mulenzi emirundi esatu, n’akaabira Mukama ng’agamba nti, “Ayi Mukama Katonda wange, obulamu bw’omulenzi ono bukomewo nate!”
22 Yehowa se Eliya ƒe gbedodoɖa, ale ɖevi la ƒe gbɔgbɔ gbugbɔ va eme eye wòtsi agbe.
Mukama n’awulira okukaaba kwa Eriya, obulamu bw’omulenzi ne bumuddamu, era n’alama.
23 Eliya kɔ ɖevi la eye wòdo go kplii tso xɔ la me yi anyigba eye wòtsɔe na dadaa gblɔ be, “Kpɔ ɖa, viwò ŋutsu la le agbe!”
Awo Eriya n’asitula omwana n’amuserengesa okuva mu kisenge n’amuleeta mu nnyumba, n’amuwa nnyina, n’amugamba nti, “Laba mutabani wo mulamu!”
24 Ahosi la gblɔ nɛ be, “Azɔ la, menya be Mawu ƒe amee nènye eye Yehowa ƒe nya si do tso wò nu me la nye nyateƒe.”
Awo nnamwandu n’agamba Eriya nti, “Kaakano ntegedde ng’oli musajja wa Katonda, era n’ekigambo kya Mukama ekiva mu kamwa ko kiba kya mazima.”
