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.
Elijah the Tishbite, who was one of the settlers 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, but according to my word.”
2 Hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia ia, i ka i ana mai,
Then the LORD’s word 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 brook Cherith, that is before 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.
You shall drink from the brook. 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 LORD’s word, for he went and lived by the brook Cherith that is before 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.
The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from 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.
After a while, the brook 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 LORD’s word 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. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain 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 arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and said, “Please get me a little water in a jar, 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.
As she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a morsel 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 don’t have anything baked, but only a handful of meal in a jar and a little oil in a jar. Behold, I am gathering two 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.
Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go and do as you have said; but make me a little cake from it first, and bring it out to me, and afterward make some for you 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 the LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘The jar of meal will not run out, and the jar of oil will not fail, until the day that the LORD sends rain on 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.
She went and did according to the saying of Elijah; and she, he, and her household ate many days.
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 meal didn’t run out and the jar of oil didn’t fail, according to the LORD’s word, 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.
After these things, the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became sick; and his sickness was so severe that 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?
She said to Elijah, “What have I to do with you, you man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to memory, and to 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;
He said to her, “Give me your son.” He took him out of her bosom, 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 evil on the widow with whom I am staying, 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.
He stretched himself on the child three times, and cried 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.
Elijah took the child and brought him down out of the room into the house, and delivered him to his mother; and Elijah said, “Behold, 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.
The woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the LORD’s word in your mouth is truth.”
