1 Kingi 17
1 Na ka mea a Iraia Tihipi, no nga tangata o Kireara, ki a Ahapa, E ora ana a Ihowa, te Atua o Iharaira, kei tona aroaro nei ahau e tu ana, e kore enei tau e whai tomairangi, e whai ua; engari ma taku kupu anake.
And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, says to Ahab, “YHWH, God of Israel, lives, before whom I have stood, there is not dew and rain these years, except according to my word.”
2 Na ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki a ia, ka mea,
And the word of YHWH is to him, saying,
3 Haere atu i konei, anga atu whaka te rawhiti, ka piri ki te awa ki Keriri, e aro nui atu na ki Horano.
“Go from this [place]; and you have turned for yourself eastward, and been hidden by the Brook of Cherith that [is] on the front of the Jordan,
4 A kei te awa he wai mou; kua oti hoki nga raweni te whakahau e ahau hei whangai i a koe i reira.
and it has been [that] you drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to sustain you there.”
5 Na haere ana ia, meatia ana ta Ihowa i korero ai; i haere hoki, a noho ana ki te taha o te awa, o Keriti, e aro nui nei ki Horano.
And he goes and does according to the word of YHWH, indeed, he goes and dwells by the Brook of Cherith, that [is] on the front of the Jordan,
6 A na nga raweni i kawe mai he taro, he kikokiko mana i te ata, he taro, he kikokiko mana i te ahiahi; no te awa hoki tona wai.
and the ravens are bringing bread and flesh to him in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening, and he drinks from the brook.
7 Nawai a kei etahi ra mai, ka maroke te awa, kahore hoki he ua o te whenua.
And it comes to pass, at the end of [the] days, that the brook dries up, for there has been no rain in the land,
8 Na ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a ia, ka mea,
and the word of YHWH is to him, saying,
9 Whakatika, haere ki Harepata o Hairona, ki reira noho ai; nana, kua oti tetahi wahine pouaru o reira te whakahau e ahau hei whangai i a koe ki reira.
“Rise, go to Zarephath, that [belongs] to Sidon, and you have dwelt there; behold, I have commanded a widow woman to sustain you there.”
10 Na whakatika ana ia, haere ana ki Harepata. A, no tona taenga atu ki te kuwaha o te pa, na ko tetahi wahine i reira, he pouaru, e kohikohi rakau ana. A ka karanga atu ia ki a ia, ka mea, Mauria mai he wai moku i roto i te oko, hei inu maku.
And he rises, and goes to Zarephath, and comes to the opening of the city, and behold, there [is] a widow woman gathering sticks, and he calls to her and says, “Please bring a little water to me in a vessel, and I drink.”
11 Na haere ana tera ki te tiki, a ka karanga ano ia ki a ia, Tena tetahi wahi taro maua mai i tou ringa maku.
And she goes to bring [it], and he calls to her and says, “Please bring a morsel of bread to me in your hand.”
12 Na ka mea ia, E ora ana a Ihowa, tou Atua, kahore aku keke; engari he kutanga paraoa i roto i te oko, me tetahi hinu, he iti nei, i roto i te ipu, e kohikohi ana ano tenei ahau i nga rakau e rua, kia haere ai ahau ki te taka i taua mea ma maua k o taku tama, mo ta maua kai atu, ka mate ai.
And she says, “Your God YHWH lives, I do not have a cake, but the fullness of the hand of meal in a pitcher, and a little oil in a dish; and behold, I am gathering two sticks, and have gone in and prepared it for myself, and for my son, and we have eaten it—and died.”
13 Na ka mea a Iraia ki a ia, Kaua e wehi, tikina, meatia tau i ki mai na; Otiia matua hanga mai te tahi wahi hei keke maku, kia nohinohi, ka mau mai ai ki ahau; a muri iho ka hanga ma korua ko tau tama.
And Elijah says to her, “Do not fear, go, do according to your word, only make a little cake for me there, in the first place, and you have brought [it] out to me; and for you and for your son make [it] last;
14 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, E kore e pau te oko paraoa, e kore ano te ipu hinu e poto a taea noatia te ra e homai ai e Ihowa he ua ki te mata o te whenua.
for thus said YHWH, God of Israel: The pitcher of meal is not consumed, and the dish of oil is not lacking, until the day of YHWH’s giving a shower on the face of the ground.”
15 Na haere ana ia; meatia ana ta Iraia i ki ai, a kai ana raua, me tona whare ano, i nga ra maha.
And she goes, and does according to the word of Elijah, and she eats, she and he and her household [for many] days;
16 Kihai te oko paraoa i hemo, kihai hoki te ipu hinu i poto, rite tonu ki te kupu a Ihowa i korerotia ra e Iraia.
the pitcher of meal was not consumed, and the dish of oil did not lack, according to the word of YHWH that He spoke by the hand of Elijah.
17 A i muri i enei mea ka takoto mate te tama a taua wahine nona nei te whare; nui atu te kaha o tona mate kahore noa iho he manawa i mahue i roto i a ia.
And it comes to pass, after these things, the son of the woman, mistress of the house, has been sick, and his sickness is very severe until no breath has been left in him.
18 Na ka mea ia ki a Iraia, He aha taku ki a koe, e te tangata a te Atua? i haere mai na koe ki ahau kia whakamaharatia mai oku he, ki te whakamate hoki i taku tama!
And she says to Elijah, “What [is this] to me and to you, O man of God? You have come to me to cause my iniquity to be remembered, and to put my son to death!”
19 Na ka mea tera ki a ia, Homai tau tamaiti ki ahau. Na tangohia ana e ia i tona uma, a kawea ana ki te ruma i runga, ki te wahi i noho ai ia, whakatakotoria ana e ia ki tona moenga.
And he says to her, “Give your son to me”; and he takes him out of her bosom, and takes him up to the upper chamber where he is abiding, and lays him on his own bed,
20 Na ka karanga ia ki a Ihowa, ka mea, E Ihowa, e toku Atua, kua meatia ano hoki e koe he kino ki tenei pouaru e noho nei ahau ki a ia, i tana tama ka whakamatea nei?
and cries to YHWH and says, “My God YHWH, have You also brought calamity on the widow with whom I am sojourning, to put her son to death?”
21 Na wharoro ana ia, e toru nga wharorotanga ki runga ki te tamaiti, a ka karanga ki a Ihowa, ka mea, E Ihowa, e toku Atua, kia hoki mai te wairua o tenei tamaiti ki roto ki a ia.
And he stretches himself out on the boy three times, and calls to YHWH and says, “O YHWH my God, please let the soul of this boy return into his midst”;
22 Na rongo tonu a Ihowa ki te reo o Iraia; a hoki ana te wairua o te tamaiti ki roto ki a ia, na kua ora.
and YHWH listens to the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the boy turns back into his midst, and he lives.
23 Na ka mau a Iraia ki te tamaiti, a kawea atu ana i taua ruma ki raro, ki te whare, a hoatu ana ki tona whaea: a ka mea a Iraia, Titiro, kei te ora tau tama.
And Elijah takes the boy, and brings him down from the upper chamber of the house, and gives him to his mother, and Elijah says, “See, your son lives!”
24 Na ka mea te wahine ra ki a Iraia, Katahi rawa ahau ka mohio he tangata koe na te Atua, he pono ano te kupu a Ihowa i tou mangai.
And the woman says to Elijah, “Now [by] this I have known that you [are] a man of God, and the word of YHWH in your mouth [is] truth.”
