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, said to Ahab, "As Jehovah, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except by my word."
2 Na ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki a ia, ka mea,
And the word of Jehovah came 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 away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Wadi Cherith, that is near 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 shall be that you will drink from the wadi. I have commanded the ravens to feed 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.
So he went and did according to the word of Jehovah; for he went and lived by the Wadi Cherith, that is near 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 brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening. And he drank from the wadi.
7 Nawai a kei etahi ra mai, ka maroke te awa, kahore hoki he ua o te whenua.
And it happened after a while that the wadi dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
8 Na ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a ia, ka mea,
The word of Jehovah came 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.
"Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Look, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you."
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.
So he got up and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, look, a widow was there gathering wood. And he called to her, and said, "Please bring me a little water in a pitcher, that I may 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 as she was going to get it, he called to her, and said, "Please bring me a piece of bread 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.
She said, "As Jehovah your God lives, I do not have anything baked, except a handful of flour in a jar, and a little oil in a jug. Look, I am gathering a couple of sticks, that I may go in and bake it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die."
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 said to her, "Do not be afraid. Go and do as you have said. But make me of it a little cake first, and bring it out to me, and afterward make some for yourself and for your son.
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 says Jehovah, the God of Israel, 'The jar of flour shall not empty, neither shall the jug of oil be empty, until the day that Jehovah sends rain on the surface of the land.'"
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 went and did according to the saying of Elijah. And she, and he, and her household, ate for a long time.
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 jar of flour did not empty, neither did the jug of oil become empty, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke by 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.
It happened after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick. And his illness was so severe that there was no breath 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 said to Elijah, "What do we have in common, O man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to memory, and to kill my son."
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 said to her, "Give me your son." And he took him out of her lap and carried him up into the room where he stayed, and laid 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?
He cried to Jehovah, and said, "Jehovah my God, have you also brought disaster on the widow with whom I sojourn, by killing her son?"
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 stretched himself upon the child three times, and called out to Jehovah, and said, "Jehovah my God, please let this child's soul come into him again."
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.
Jehovah listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
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 took the child and brought him down out of the room into the house and gave him to his mother. And Elijah said, "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 said to Elijah, "Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of Jehovah in your mouth is the truth."
