Sie Tokosra 17
1 Sie mwet palu Tishbe in acn Gilead su inel pa Elijah, el fahk nu sel Tokosra Ahab, “Inen LEUM GOD moul lun Israel su nga kulansupu, nga fahk nu sum lah ac fah wangin aunfong ku af ke yac luo ku tolu, nwe ke pacl se nga fahk in af.”
Now Elijah the Tishbite, who was among the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As surely as the LORD lives—the God of Israel before whom I stand—there will be neither dew nor rain in these years except at my word!”
2 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Elijah,
Then a revelation from the LORD came to Elijah:
3 “Fahla liki acn se inge nu kutulap, ac wikla apkuran nu ke infacl srisrik Cherith, kutulap in Infacl Jordan.
“Leave here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.
4 Infacl srisrik soko inge ac fah sot kof nimom, ac nga sap tari won raven in utuk mongo nom nu we.”
And you are to drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
5 Elijah el akos sap lun LEUM GOD, ac som ac muta apkuran nu ke Infacl srisrik Cherith.
So Elijah did what the LORD had told him, and he went and lived by the Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.
6 El nim kof ke infacl soko ah, na won raven utuk bread ac ikwa nal ke lotu ac eku nukewa.
The ravens would bring him bread and meat in the morning and evening, and he would drink from the brook.
7 Tia paht toko, infacl srisrik soko ah paola, mweyen wanginla af.
Some time later, however, the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land.
8 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Elijah,
Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah:
9 “Inge kom som nu ke siti srisrik Zarephath, apkuran nu Sidon, ac muta we. Nga sapkin tari nu sin katinmas se we in kite kom.”
“Get up and go to Zarephath of Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.”
10 Ouinge Elijah el som nu Zarephath, ac ke el tuku nu ke nien utyak nu in siti srisrik sac, sie katinmas el ti etong we. Na Elijah el fahk nu sel, “Nunak munas, use kutu kof an nimuk.”
So Elijah got up and went to Zarephath. When he arrived at the city gate, there was a widow gathering sticks. Elijah called to her and said, “Please bring me a little water in a cup, so that I may drink.”
11 Ac ke el fahsr in eis, Elijah el sifilpa fahk, “Nunak munas, tuh use pac sie ipin flao an nak.”
And as she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a piece of bread.”
12 Ac katinmas sac topuk ac fahk, “Inen LEUM GOD lom, God moul, nga fulahk lah wangin ipin flao yuruk. Pwayena ma oasr yuruk pa kitin flao takmwek oan in pol srisrik se, ac kitin kiris in sufa soko. Nga tuku ti etong in tuh munanla kitinmah lula inge nasr. Ac pa inge mongo safla lasr uh, na kut ac masrinsral nwe ke na kut misa.”
But she replied, “As surely as the LORD your God lives, I have no bread—only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. Look, I am gathering a couple of sticks to take home and prepare a meal for myself and my son, so that we may eat it and die.”
13 Na Elijah el fahk nu sel, “Nimet fosrnga. Fahla orala mongo nomtal an, tusruktu oralawin sie srukwal in flao an nak meet ac use nu sik, na kom fah orala ma lula an nomtal.
“Do not be afraid,” Elijah said to her. “Go and do as you have said. But first make me a small cake of bread from what you have, and bring it out to me. Afterward, make some for yourself and your son,
14 Tuh pa inge ma LEUM GOD lun Israel El fahk: ‘Pol sac ac fah tia pisala ke flao, ku sufa soko ah ke kiris, meet liki len se ma nga, LEUM GOD, ac supwama af.’”
for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour will not be exhausted and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the LORD sends rain upon the face of the earth.’”
15 Na katinmas sac som oru oana ma Elijah el fahk nu sel ah, na oasr na mongo nalos ke len nukewa.
So she went and did according to the word of Elijah, and there was food every day for Elijah and the woman and her household.
16 Oana ma LEUM GOD El wulela kac nu sel Elijah, pol sac tiana pisala ke flao, oayapa sufa soko ah tiana pisala ke kiris.
The jar of flour was not exhausted and the jug of oil did not run dry, according to the word that the LORD had spoken through Elijah.
17 In kutu pacl tok, wen se nutin katinmas sac masak, ac el arulana keoki, na el misa.
Later, the son of the woman who owned the house became ill, and his sickness grew worse and worse, until no breath remained in him.
18 Katinmas sac fahk nu sel Elijah, “Mwet lun God, efu kom ku oru ouinge nu sik? Ya kom tuku nu inge in tuh oru God Elan esamak ma koluk luk, in pwanang wen nutik elan misa?”
“O man of God,” said the woman to Elijah, “what have you done to me? Have you come to remind me of my iniquity and cause the death of my son?”
19 Elijah el fahk, “Usalu nu sik.” Na el eisla tulik mukul sac liki inpoun nina kial, ac usalak nu fin twek ah, nu infukil se el muta we, ac likilya fin mwe oan kial.
But Elijah said to her, “Give me your son.” So he took him from her arms, carried him to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on his own bed.
20 Na el pre ke sie pusra lulap ac fahk, “O LEUM GOD luk, efu kom ku filiya mwe ongoiya na upa se nu fin katinmas se inge? El kulang na nu sik ac liyeyuyang, a inge kom uniya wen natul.”
Then he cried out to the LORD, “O LORD my God, have You also brought tragedy on this widow who has opened her home to me, by causing her son to die?”
21 Elijah el ona ac asrosrelik fin tulik sac pacl tolu ac pre, “O LEUM GOD luk, akmoulyauk tulik se inge!”
Then he stretched himself out over the child three times and cried out to the LORD, “O LORD my God, please let this boy’s life return to him!”
22 LEUM GOD El porongo pre lal Elijah, ac mongin tulik sac folokyak ac el sifil moulla.
And the LORD listened to the voice of Elijah, and the child’s life returned to him, and he lived.
23 Elijah el usya tulik sac nu ten nu yurin nina kial, ac fahk nu sel, “Liye, tulik nutum uh moul!”
Then Elijah took the child, brought him down from the upper room into the house, and gave him to his mother. “Look, your son is alive,” Elijah declared.
24 Nina sac fahk, “Inge nga etu lah kom sie mwet lun God, ac pwayena lah kas lom uh ma sin LEUM GOD me!”
Then the woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of the LORD from your mouth is truth.”
