< I Na Lii 17 >
1 OLELO aku la hoi o Elia ka Tiseba no ko Gileada, ia Ahaba, Ma ke oia ana o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela imua ona e ku nei au, aole auanei he ua, aole hoi he hau i keia mau makahiki, ma ka'u olelo wale no.
And Eliu the prophet, the Thesbite of Thesbae of Galaad, said to Achaab, As the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be these years dew nor rain, except by the word of my mouth.
2 Hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia ia, i ka i ana mai,
And the word of the Lord came to Eliu, [saying],
3 E hele oe mai keia wahi aku, a huli hikina ae, a e pee aku ma ke kahawai Kerita mamua o Ioredane.
Depart hence eastward, and hide thee by the brook of Chorrath, that is before Jordan.
4 Eia hoi keia, e inu oe i ko ke kahawai; a ua kauoha ae nei au i na manukoraka e hanai ia oe ilaila.
And it shall be [that] thou shalt drink water of the brook, and I will charge the ravens to feed thee there.
5 Hele aku la hoi oia a hana e like me ka olelo a Iehova; no ka mea, ua hele ia a noho ma ke kahawai Kerita mamua o Ioredane.
And Eliu did according to the word of the Lord, and he sat by the brook of Chorrath before Jordan.
6 A lawe mai na manukoraka i ka berena a me ka io ia ia i kakahiaka, a i ka berena a me ka io i ke ahiahi; a inu ae la hoi oia i ko ke kahawai.
And the ravens brought him loaves in the morning, and flesh in the evening and he drank water of the brook.
7 Eia kekahi, i ka hala ana'e o na la, maloo iho la ke kahawai, no ka mea, aohe ua ma ka aina.
And it came to pass after some time, that the brook was dried up, because there had been no rain upon the earth.
8 A hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova ia ia, i ka i ana mai,
And the word of the Lord came to Eliu, [saying],
9 E ku ae, a hele oe i Sarepeta no Sidona, a e noho malaila: eia hoi, ua kauoha ae nei au i kahi wahine kanemake malaila e hanai ia oe.
Arise, and go to Sarepta of the Sidonian [land]: behold, I have there commanded a widow-woman to maintain thee.
10 Ku ae la hoi, a hele ia i Sarepeta; a hiki i ka puka o ke kulanakauhale, aia hoi, malaila ka wahine kanemake e ohi ana i na lala laau; a kahea aku oia i ka wahine, i aku la, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe e lawe mai i wahi wai uuku maloko o ka ipu, e inu au.
And he arose and went to Sarepta, and came to the gate of the city: and, behold, a widow-woman was there gathering sticks; and Eliu cried after her, and said to her, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
11 A i kona hele ana e lawe mai, kahea aku la oia ia ia, i aku la, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe e lawe mai na'u i kau wahi berena uuku maloko o kou lima.
And she went to fetch it; and Eliu cried after her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of the bread that is in thy hand.
12 I mai la ka wahine, Ma ke ola ana o Iehova o kou Akua, aole o'u popo palaoa, hookahi wale no piha o ka lima o ka palaoa wali ole, maloko o ka barela, a he wahi aila uuku iloko o kahi omole: eia hoi, e ohi ana au i na lala laau elua e hele au iloko, a e hoomoa'e ia na maua me kuu keiki, e ai maua, a make.
And the woman said, [As] the Lord thy God lives, I have not a cake, but only a handful of meal in the pitcher, and a little oil in a cruse, and, behold, I am going to gather two sticks, and I shall go in and dress it for myself and my children, and we shall eat it and die.
13 I aku la o Elia ia ia, Mai makau oe; aka, e hele a e hana oe e like me kau olelo; aka, e hana mua oe i wahi popo palaoa uuku na'u, a e lawe mai i o'u nei, a mamuli e hana oe na olua me kau keiki.
And Eliu said to her, Be of good courage, go in and do according to thy word: but make me thereof a little cake, and thou shalt bring [it] out to me first, and thou shalt make [some] for thyself and thy children last.
14 No ka mea, ko i mai nei o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, Aole e emi iho ka barela palaoa wali ole, aole hoi e pau ae ka omole aila a hiki i ka la e haawi mai ai o Iehova i ka ua ma ka ili o ka honua.
For thus saith the Lord, The pitcher of meal shall not fail, and the cruse of oil shall not diminish, until the day that the Lord gives rain upon the earth.
15 Hele ae la hoi oia a hana e like me ka olelo a Elia; a ai iho la ko kona hale i na la he nui.
And the woman went and did [so], and did eat, she, and he, and her children.
16 Aole i emi iho ka barela palaoa wali ole, aole hoi i pau ae ka omole aila, e like me ka olelo a Iehova ana i olelo mai ai ma ka lima o Elia.
And the pitcher of meal failed not, and the cruse of oil was not diminished, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by the hand of Eliu.
17 Eia kekahi mahope mai o ia mau mea, mai iho la ke keiki a ka wahine ka mea hale, a nui ae la kona mai, aole koe ka hanu iloko ona.
And it came to pass afterward, that the son of the woman the mistress of the house was sick; and his sickness was very severe, until there was no breath left in him.
18 Olelo mai la ka wahine ia Elia, Heaha ko kaua, e ke kanaka o ke Akua? Ua hele mai nei anei oe io'u nei e hoakaka mai i ko'u hewa, a e pepehi mai hoi i ka'u keiki?
And she said to Eliu, What have I to do with thee, O man of God? hast thou come in to me to bring my sins to remembrance, and to slay my son?
19 I aku la oia i ka wahine, E haawi mai i kau keiki ia'u. Lawe ae la oia ia ia mai ko ka wahine poli ae, a hali ae la oia ia ia iluna i kahi keena oluna, i kahi e noho ai oia, a hoomoe iho la ia ia ma kona wahi moe iho;
And Eliu said to the woman, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and took him up to the chamber in which he himself lodged, and laid him on the bed.
20 A kahea aku la oia ia Iehova, i aku la hoi, E Iehova ko'u Akua, ua lawe mai nei anei oe i ka hewa maluna o ka wahinekanemake, me ia e noho iki ana au, i ka pepehi ana mai i kana keiki?
And Eliu cried aloud, and said, Alas, O Lord, the witness of the widow with whom I sojourn, thou hast wrought evil [for her] in slaying her son.
21 Hoopalaha ae la oia maluna o ke keiki i na wa ekolu, a kahea aku la ia Iehova, i aku la hoi, E Iehova ko'u Akua, ke pule aku nei au ia oe, e hoi hou mai ka uhane o keia keiki iloko ona.
And he breathed on the child thrice, and called on the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, let, I pray thee, the soul of this child return to him.
22 Hoolohe mai la hoi o Iehova i ka leo o Elia, a hoi hou mai la ka uhane o ke keiki iloko ona, a ola ae la ia.
And it was so, and the child cried out,
23 Lalau iho la o Elia i ke keiki, a lawe iho mai loko iho o ko luna keena iloko o ka hale, a haawi ae la ia ia i kona makuwahine; i aku la hoi o Elia, E ike hoi, ke ola nei kau keiki.
and he brought him down from the upper chamber into the house, and gave him to his mother; and Eliu said, See, thy son lives.
24 Olelo mai la ka wahine ia Elia, Ano, ma keia i ike ai au, he kanaka no ke Akua oe, a o ka olelo a Iehova ma kou waha he oiaio.
And the woman said to Eliu, Behold, I know that thou [art] a man of God, and the word of the Lord in thy mouth [is] true.
