1 Hagi Giliati mopafi, Tisbe kumate nemania kasnampa ne' Elaija'a amanage huno kini ne' Ahapuna asami'ne, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzama kasefa huno mani'nea Anumzamofo avufi Agri eri'za ne'mo'na huankino, mago'a kafumofo agu'afina magore huno atara ahege, kora rugera osugahianki, nagrama hanugenoke atara ahege, kora rugera hugahie.
Elijah the Tishbite, (from Tishbe in Gilead), told Ahab, “As the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, the one I serve, in the years to come there will be not be any dew or rain unless I say so!”
2 Anagema hutegeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Elaijana asami'ne.
Then the Lord told Elijah,
3 Amaretira atrenka rukrahe hunka Jodani timofona zage hanati kaziga vunka, Keriti tinkagomupi ome frakinka umanio.
“Leave here and go east. Hide in the valley of the Cherith brook where it meets the Jordan.
4 Hagi ana tinteti tina nenege'na, Nagra kotkoti namazaga huzmanta'nenkeno ne'zana eri'za eme kamigahaze.
You can drink from the brook, and I have ordered ravens to bring you food you there.”
5 Anagema higeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'ma asamia kante anteno Elaija'a Jodani timofona zage hanati kaziga Keriti tinkagomupi umani'ne.
So Elijah did what the Lord told him. He went to the valley of the Cherith brook, where it meets the Jordan, and stayed there.
6 Hagi anampinkama mani'negeno, maka nanterane kinaganena kotkoti namazagamo'za bretine ame'anena eri'za eme nemizageno, ana tinteti tina ne'ne.
Ravens brought him bread and meat both in the morning and in the evening, and he drank from the brook.
7 Hianagi osia knama nemanigeno'a, ana timo'a tane'ne. Na'ankure ana mopafina kora oru'negeno'e.
A while later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land.
8 Ana'ma higeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Elaijana asami'ne,
Then the Lord told Elijah,
9 Otinka Saidoni mopafi vunka Zarefati kumapi umanio. Nagra ko kento a'mofo hunte'noankino, ne'zana negamino kegava hugantegahie.
“Leave here and go to Zarephath near Sidon and stay there. I have given instructions to a widow there to provide you with food.”
10 Hagi anagema higeno'a, otino Zarefati kumatega vuno, ana kumamofo kafante'ma unehanatino keana, ana kento a'mo'a tevesesa zonegino mani'negeno omege'ne. Hagi ana a'ma negeno'a, amanage huno ke'zana tino asami'ne, Muse hugantoanki tina tafempina afinka eme namige'na naneno, huno higeno,
So he left for Zarephath. When he arrived at the entrance to the town, he saw a woman, a widow, gathering sticks. He called her over and asked her, “Could you bring me a little water in a cup so I can have a drink?”
11 ana a'mo'ma ana tima ome afinaku'ma neviana ete mago'ane amanage huno ranke huno asmi'ne, Osi'a kazampina bretinena eri'nenka eno.
As she was going to get it, he called after her and said, “Oh, and please bring me a piece of bread.”
12 Hianagi amanage huno ana a'mo'a hu'ne, Tamage Ra Anumzana mani'nea Anumzanka'amofo avufinki, bretima kreno eme kami flauara omne'neanki, mago naza huga'a osi'a kavofina megeno, tafempina osi'a ro'afinka masavena me'ne. Hagi ne'zana omne'neankita nagrane neni'anena anama'a kreta neteta mani'neta fri'nuegu tevesesa eme zonegue.
She replied, “As the Lord your God lives, I have no bread, only a handful of flour is left in a jar and a little bit of olive oil in a jug. Right now I am gathering a few of sticks so I can go and cook what's left for myself and my son so we can eat it, and then we'll die.”
13 Anagema higeno'a, Elaija'a amanage huno ana a'mofonkura hu'ne, Korora osunka vunka kema hanaza ome huo. Hianagi ese'zana osi'a nagrira bretia krenka eme namitenka, henka kagra su'ane negamofo su'anena ome kro.
Elijah said to her, “Don't be afraid. Go home and do what you said. But first make me a small loaf of bread from what you have and bring it to me. Then make something for yourself and your son.
14 Na'ankure Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mofo Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne. Kavofina flauamo'a vagaoreno me'nena tafempinena masavemo'a vagaore me'nenkeno vuno Ra Anumzamo'ma ama mopafima ko'ma atresigeno arania knare uhanatigahie.
For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour will not become empty and the jug of olive oil will not run out until the day the Lord sends rain to water the ground.”
15 Hagi anankema nentahino'a vuno Elaija'ma hiaza ome hu'ne. Ana higeno ana kento a'mo'ene Elaija'ene, ana a'mofo naga'mozanena nezankura atupara osu rama'a knafi ne'zana ne'za vu'naze.
She went and did as Elijah had told her, and Elijah, the widow, and her household were able to eat for many days.
16 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma Elaija'ma asamigenoma hu'nea kante ante'no ana kavofima me'nea flauamo'ene tafempima me'nea masavemo'enena vagaore'ne.
The jar of flour was did not become empty and the jug of olive oil did not run out, just as the Lord had said through Elijah.
17 Hagi mago'a kna evutegeno, ana a'mofo mofavremo'a kri erigeno ana kri'amo'a ome ra higeno fri'ne.
Later on the woman's son fell sick. (She was the one who owned the house.) He went from bad to worse, and finally he died.
18 Hagi ana'ma higeno'a, ana a'mo'a amanage huno Elaijana asami'ne, Anumzamofo eri'za ne'moka naza amazana hunantane? Nagrama kumi'ma hu'noa zante hunagesa nehunka nenamofo ahe fri'naku kagra e'nano?
“What are you doing to me, man of God?” the woman asked Elijah. “Have you come to remind me about my sins and cause my son to die?”
19 Hianagi Elaija'a amanage huno ana akura hu'ne. Negamofona namio, huno nehuno ana a'mofo azampintira ana mofavrea avreno nomofo anaga kaziga nemasefinka marerino nemasea sipare ome ante'ne.
“Give me your son,” Elijah replied. He picked him up from her arms, carried him upstairs to the room where he was staying, and laid him on his bed.
20 Hagi ana nehuno ranke huno amanage huno Ra Anumzamofontega nunamuna hu'ne, Ra Anumzana nagri Anumzamoke, nahigenka knare'ma huno noma'afima navrentege'nama manua kento ara amanahu hazenkea avrenka ankeno mofavre'amo'a frie?
Then he cried out to the Lord, saying, “Lord my God, why have you allowed this to happen to this widow who has opened her home to me, this terrible tragedy of causing her son to die?”
21 Anage nehuno 3'a zupa ana mofavremofo agofetu maseno amanage huno Anumzamofontega nunamuna hu'ne. Ra Anumzana nagri Anumzamoka ama mofavremofo asimura ete aminka azeri otio.
He stretched himself out on the boy three times, and cried out to the Lord, “Lord my God, please let this boy's life return to him!”
22 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Elaijama hia nunamuna nentahino, ana mofavrea asimura amino azeri oti'ne.
The Lord responded to Elijah's cry. The boy's life returned to him, and he lived!
23 Hagi frinefinti'ma otigeno'a Elaija'a nomofo anaga kazigama nevasefintira ana mofavrea avreno eramino nerera eme nemino amanage hu'ne, negamofo'a ofri amne mani'neanki ko.
Elijah took the boy and brought him down from the room into the house, and gave him to his mother. “See, your son is alive,” Elijah told her.
24 Higeno ana zama negeno'a ana a'mo'a amanage huno Elaijankura hu'ne. Tamage nagra menina kena antahi'nama huana, kagra Anumzamofo eri'za vahe mani'nankeno, Ra Anumzamo'ma kagri kagipima huvazino'ma nehia nanekemo'a tamage naneke.
“Now I'm convinced that you are a man of God, and that what the Lord speaks through you is the truth,” the woman replied.
