< 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 Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, "As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except by my word."
2 Hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia ia, i ka i ana mai,
And the word of the LORD came to him, saying,
3 E hele oe mai keia wahi aku, a huli hikina ae, a e pee aku ma ke kahawai Kerita mamua o Ioredane.
"Go away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Wadi Cherith, that is near the 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 you will drink from the wadi. I have commanded the ravens to feed you 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.
So he went and did according to the word of the LORD; for he went and lived by the Wadi Cherith, that is near the 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 bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening. And he drank from the wadi.
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 happened after a while that the wadi dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
8 A hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova ia ia, i ka i ana mai,
The word of the LORD came to him, 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, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Look, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you."
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.
So he got up and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, look, a widow was there gathering wood. And he called to her, and said, "Please bring me a little water in a pitcher, 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 as she was going to get it, he called to her, and said, "Please bring me a piece of bread in your 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.
She said, "As the LORD your God lives, I do not have anything baked, except a handful of flour in a jar, and a little oil in a jug. Look, I am gathering a couple of sticks, that I may go in and bake it for me and my son, that we may 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 Elijah said to her, "Do not be afraid. Go and do as you have said. But make me of it a little cake first, and bring it out to me, and afterward make some for yourself and for your son.
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 says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'The jar of flour shall not empty, neither shall the jug of oil be empty, until the day that the LORD sends rain on the surface of the land.'"
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 she went and did according to the saying of Elijah. And she, and he, and her household, ate for a long time.
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.
The jar of flour did not empty, neither did the jug of oil become empty, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by Elijah.
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.
It happened after these things, that the son of the woman who owned the house became ill. And his illness became so severe that he could no longer breathe.
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?
Then she said to Elijah, "What do we have in common, O man of God? Have you come to me to remind me of my sin and kill 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 he said to her, "Give me your son." And he took him out of her lap and carried him up into the room where he stayed, and laid him on his own 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?
He cried to the LORD, and said, "LORD my God, have you also brought disaster on the widow with whom I sojourn, by killing 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 stretched himself upon the child three times, and called out to the LORD, and said, "LORD my God, please let this child's soul come into him again."
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.
The LORD listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
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 Elijah took the child and brought him down out of the room into the house and gave him to his mother. And Elijah said, "See, your 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 Elijah, "Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of the LORD in your mouth is the truth."
