1 Ndị Eze 17
1 Ugbu a, Ịlaịja onye Tishbe, onye si obodo Tishbe, nke dị nʼala Gilead, sịrị Ehab, “Eji m aha Onyenwe anyị Chineke Izrel dị ndụ, onye m na-efe na onye m na-ejere ozi na-agwa gị na igirigi agaghị ada, mmiri agaghị ezo ọzọ nʼafọ ndị a na-abịa karịa ma ọ bụghị naanị site nʼokwu ọnụ m!”
And Elie `of Thesbi, of the dwelleris of Galaad, seide to Achab, The Lord God of Israel lyueth, in whos siyt Y stonde, deeu and reyn schal not be in these yeeris, no but bi the wordis of my mouth.
2 Okwu Onyenwe anyị rutere Ịlaịja ntị, sị ya,
And the word of the Lord was maad to hym, and seide,
3 “Si nʼebe a pụọ. Soro ụzọ ọwụwa anyanwụ, gaa zoo onwe gị nʼakụkụ iyi Kerit, nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ ya, nke bụ nʼihu Jọdan.
Go thou awey fro hennus, and go ayens the eest, and be thou hid in the stronde of Carith, which is ayens Jordan,
4 Nọdụ nʼebe ahụ ṅụọ mmiri si nʼiyi ahụ, riekwa nri ọbụla ụmụ ugolọma ga-ebutere gị, nʼihi na enyela m ha iwu ka ha nye gị nri.”
and there thou schalt drynke of the stronde; and Y comaundide to crowis, that thei feede thee there.
5 O mere ihe Onyenwe anyị gwara ya ka o mee. Ọ gara nʼakụkụ iyi nta Kerit nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ Jọdan nọrọ nʼebe ahụ.
Therfor he yede, and dide bi the word of the Lord; and whanne he hadde go, he sat in the stronde of Carith, which is ayens Jordan.
6 Ugolọma na-ebutere ya achịcha na anụ, ụtụtụ na anyasị niile. Ọ na-aṅụkwa mmiri site nʼiyi ahụ.
And crowis baren to hym breed and fleisch eerli; in lijk maner in the euentid; and he drank of the stronde.
7 Ma mgbe ụbọchị ụfọdụ gasịrị, mmiri ahụ tara, nʼihi na mmiri adịghị ezokwa nʼala ahụ.
Forsothe after summe daies the stronde was dried; for it hadde not reynede on the erthe.
8 Okwu Onyenwe anyị bịakwutere ya,
Therfor the word of the Lord was maad to hym, and seide,
9 “Bilie, jee Zarefat, obodo dị Saịdọn nso, biri nʼebe ahụ. O nwere otu nwanyị di ya nwụrụ, onye m nyere iwu ka o nye gị nri.”
Rise thou, and go in to Serepta of Sydoneis, and thou schalt dwelle there; for Y comaundide to a womman, widewe there, that sche feede thee.
10 Ịlaịja biliri jee Zarefat. Mgbe o ruru ọnụ ụzọ ama e si abanye obodo ahụ, ọ hụrụ otu nwanyị di ya nwụrụ ka ọ nọ na-achịkọta nkụ. Ịlaịja kpọrọ ya oku sị ya, “Biko, kutere m ntakịrị mmiri nʼiko ka m ṅụọ.”
He roos, and yede in to Sarepta of Sidoneis; and whanne he hadde come to the yate of the citee, a womman widewe gaderynge stickis apperide to hym; and he clepide hir, and seide to hir, Yyue thou to me a litil of water in a vessel, that Y drynke.
11 Mgbe nwanyị ahụ na-aga ikute mmiri ahụ, Ịlaịja kpọrọ ya oku ọzọ sị ya, “Biko, wetara m otu iberibe achịcha ka m taa.”
And whanne sche yede to bringe, he criede bihynde hir bac, and seide, Y biseche, bringe thou to me also a mussel of breed in thin hond.
12 Ma nwanyị ahụ zara sị ya, “Dịka Onyenwe anyị Chineke na-adị ndụ, enweghị m achịcha ọbụla nʼụlọ m. Naanị ihe m nwere bụ otu njuaka ụtụ ọka dị nʼite, na mmanụ ntakịrị dị na karama. Ugbu a, ana m achịkọta nkụ ka m baa ga siere onwe m siekwara nwa m nri, ka anyị rie, chere ọnwụ ga-abịa egburu anyị.”
And sche answeride, Thi Lord God lyueth, for Y haue no breed, no but as myche of mele in a pot, as a fist may take, and a litil of oile in a vessel; lo! Y gadere twei stickis, that Y entre, and make it to me, and to my sone, that we ete and die.
13 Ịlaịja sịrị ya, “Atụla egwu! Gaa mee dịka i kwuru. Ma naanị buru ụzọ meere m ogbe achịcha ntakịrị site nʼihe i nwere, wetara m ya. Emesịa, mee nke gị na nwa gị ga-eri.
And Elie seide to hir, Nyle thou drede, but go, and make as thou seidist; netheles make thou firste to me of that litil mele a litil loof, bakun vndur the aischis, and brynge thou to me; sotheli thou schalt make afterward to thee and to thi sone.
14 Nʼihi na nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel kwuru, ‘Ụtụ ọka dị nʼite ahụ agaghị agwụ, mmanụ ahụ dị nʼite ahụ agakwaghị akọ tutu ruo ụbọchị ahụ Onyenwe anyị ga-ezite mmiri ozuzo nʼala a.’”
Forsothe the Lord God of Israel seith thes thingis, The pot of mele schal not faile, and the vessel of oile schal not be abatid, til to the dai in which the Lord schal yyue reyn on the face of erthe.
15 Nwanyị ahụ mere dịka Ịlaịja kwuru. Sitekwa nʼụbọchị ahụ gaa nʼihu, ihe oriri akọkwaghị Ịlaịja na nwanyị ahụ, na ezinaụlọ ya.
And sche yede, and dide bi the word of Elie; and he eet, and sche, and hir hows.
16 Nʼihi na ụtụ ọka ahụ agwụghị, mmanụ akọkwaghị nwanyị ahụ, dịka okwu Onyenwe anyị kwuru site nʼọnụ Ịlaịja, onye amụma.
And fro that dai the pot of mele failide not, and the vessel of oile was not abatid, bi the word of the Lord, which he hadde spoke in the hond of Elie.
17 Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, nwa nwanyị ahụ nwe ụlọ rịara ọrịa. Ọrịa a bịara sie ike nke ukwuu na ume afọdụghị nʼime ya.
Forsothe it was doon aftir these wordis, the sone of a womman hosewijf was sijk, and the sijknesse was moost strong, so that breeth dwellide not in hym.
18 Mgbe ahụ, nwanyị ahụ kwaara akwa bịakwute Ịlaịja sị ya, “Ewoo, onye nke Chineke, gịnị ka i nwere megide m? Ị bịara ka i chetara m mmehie m, na igbu nwa m nwoke?”
Therfor sche seide to Elie, What to me and to thee, thou man of God? Entridist thou to me, that my wickidnessis schulden be remembrid, and that thou schuldist sle my sone?
19 Ịlaịja zara sị ya, “Kunye m nwa gị nwoke.” Ịlaịja kuuru ya site nʼaka nne ya rigoo nʼụlọ elu ebe ya onwe ya na-edina, nibe ya nʼelu ihe ndina ya.
And Elie seide to hir, Yyue thi sone to me. And he took `that sone fro hir bosum, and bar in to the soler, where he dwellide; and he puttide hym on his bed.
20 Ọ kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị sị ya, “Onyenwe anyị Chineke m, gịnị mere i ji wetara nwanyị a m bi nʼụlọ ya ihe mgbu site nʼikwe ka nwa nwoke ya nwụọ?”
And he criede to the Lord, and seide, My Lord God, whether thou hast turmentid also the widewe, at whom Y am susteyned in al maner, that thou killidist hir sone?
21 Ịlaịja gbatịrị onwe ya nʼahụ nwantakịrị ahụ ugboro atọ, kpọkuo Onyenwe anyị, sị, “Biko, Onyenwe anyị Chineke m, kwere ka mkpụrụobi nwantakịrị a laghachikwute ya.”
He sprad abrood hym silf, and mat on the child bi thre tymes; and he cryede to the Lord, and seide, My Lord God, Y biseche, the soule of this child turne ayen in to the entrailis of hym.
22 Onyenwe anyị nụrụ ekpere Ịlaịja, ndụ nwantakịrị ahụ laghachikwutere ya, ọ dịkwara ndụ ọzọ.
The Lord herde the vois of Elie, and the soule of the child turnede ayen with ynne hym, and he lyuede ayen.
23 Mgbe ahụ, Ịlaịja kuuru ya si nʼụlọ elu ahụ rịdata, kunye ya nne ya, gwa ya okwu sị, “Lee, nwa gị dị ndụ!”
And Elie took the child, and puttide hym doun of the soler in to the lower hows, and bitook him to his modir; and he seide to hir, Lo! thi sone lyueth.
24 Nwanyị ahụ sịrị Ịlaịja, “Ugbu a, amatala m na ị bụ onye nke chineke, na okwu Onyenwe anyị si nʼọnụ gị apụta bụ eziokwu.”
And the womman seide to Elie, Now in this Y haue knowe, that thou art the man of God, and the word of God is soth in thi mouth.
