1 ၁ ဂိလဒ်ပြည်တိရှဘိမြို့သားဧလိယဆိုသူ ပရောဖက်က အာဟပ်မင်းအား``မိုးရွာမည်ဟု ငါမပြောမချင်းလာမည့်နှစ်နှစ်သုံးနှစ်တွင် မိုးခေါင်လိမ့်မည်။ ဆီးနှင်းလည်းကျလိမ့်မည် မဟုတ်ကြောင်း ငါကိုးကွယ်၍အသက်ရှင်တော် မူသောဣသရေလအမျိုးသားတို့၏ဘုရားသခင်ထာဝရဘုရားကိုတိုင်တည်၍သင့် အားငါဆို၏'' ဟုဆင့်ဆိုလေသည်။
౧గిలాదు ప్రాంతంలోని తిష్బీ గ్రామం వాడైన ఏలీయా అహాబుతో “ఇశ్రాయేలు ప్రజల దేవుడైన యెహోవా ప్రాణం తోడు, నేను ఆయన ఎదుట నిలబడి చెబుతున్నాను. నేను మళ్ళీ చెప్పే వరకూ, రాబోయే కొన్నేళ్ళు మంచు గానీ వాన గానీ పడదు” అన్నాడు.
౨ఆ తరువాత యెహోవా అతనితో ఇలా చెప్పాడు.
3 ၃ ``ဤမြို့မှထွက်ခွာကာအရှေ့အရပ်သို့သွား ပြီးလျှင် ယော်ဒန်မြစ်အရှေ့ဘက်ရှိခေရိတ် ချောင်းအနီးတွင်ပုန်းအောင်းလော့။-
౩“నీవు ఇక్కడ నుంచి తూర్పు వైపుగా వెళ్లి యొర్దానుకు ఎదురుగా ఉన్న కెరీతు వాగు దగ్గర దాక్కో.
4 ၄ သင်သည်ထိုချောင်းမှသောက်ရေကိုရလိမ့်မည်။ သင်ရှိရာသို့အစားအစာယူဆောင်လာရန် ကျီးအတို့ကိုလည်းငါမှာထားပြီးဖြစ်သည်'' ဟုမိန့်တော်မူ၏။
౪ఆ వాగు నీళ్ళు నీవు తాగాలి. అక్కడ నీకు ఆహారం తెచ్చేలా నేను కాకులకు ఆజ్ఞాపించాను” అని అతనికి చెప్పాడు.
5 ၅ ဧလိယသည် ထာဝရဘုရား၏အမိန့်တော် ကိုနာခံလျက်ခေရိတ်ချောင်းသို့သွားရောက် နေထိုင်လေသည်။-
౫అతడు వెళ్లి యెహోవా చెప్పినట్టు యొర్దానుకు ఎదురుగా ఉన్న కెరీతు వాగు దగ్గర నివసించాడు.
6 ၆ သူသည်ချောင်းရေကိုသောက်၏။ ကျီးအတို့ သည်သူစားရန်မုန့်နှင့်အမဲသားကို နေ့စဉ် နေ့တိုင်းနံနက်၌တစ်ကြိမ်ညနေ၌တစ်ကြိမ် ယူဆောင်လာ၏။-
౬అక్కడ కాకులు ఉదయమూ సాయంత్రమూ రొట్టె, మాంసాలను అతని దగ్గరికి తెచ్చేవి. అతడు వాగు నీళ్ళు తాగాడు.
౭కొంతకాలమైన తరువాత దేశంలో వాన కురవక ఆ వాగు ఎండిపోయింది.
౮యెహోవా అతనితో ఇలా చెప్పాడు. “నీవు సీదోను ప్రాంతంలోని సారెపతు అనే ఊరికి వెళ్లి అక్కడ ఉండు.
9 ၉ ``ယခုသင်သည်ဇိဒုန်မြို့အနီးရှိဇရတ္တမြို့ သို့သွား၍နေထိုင်လော့။ ထိုမြို့သူမုဆိုးမ တစ်ယောက်အား သင့်ကိုကျွေးမွေးရန်ငါမှာ ကြားထားပြီ'' ဟုမိန့်တော်မူ၏။-
౯నిన్ను పోషించడానికి అక్కడ ఉన్న ఒక విధవరాలికి నేను ఆజ్ఞాపించాను.”
10 ၁၀ သို့ဖြစ်၍ဧလိယသည်ဇရတ္တမြို့သို့သွား လေသည်။ သူသည်မြို့တံခါးဝသို့ရောက်သော အခါ ထင်းခွေနေသောမုဆိုးမတစ်ယောက်ကို တွေ့သဖြင့်``ငါ့အားသောက်ရေတစ်ပေါက် လောက်ပေးပါ'' ဟုပြော၏။-
౧౦కాబట్టి అతడు సారెపతు పట్టణ ద్వారం దగ్గరికి వెళ్ళి ఒక విధవరాలు అక్కడ కట్టెలు ఏరుకోవడం చూసి ఆమెను పిలిచాడు. “తాగడానికి గిన్నెలో కొంచెం మంచినీళ్ళు తెస్తావా?” అని అడిగాడు.
11 ၁၁ မုဆိုးမသည်ရေခပ်ရန်ထွက်သွားသောအခါ ဧလိယက``ငါ့အတွက်မုန့်အနည်းငယ်ကို လည်းယူလာခဲ့ပါ'' ဟုဟစ်အော်၍ပြော၏။
౧౧ఆమె నీళ్లు తేబోతుంటే అతడామెను మళ్ళీ పిలిచి “నీ చేత్తో నాకొక రొట్టె ముక్క తీసుకు రా” అన్నాడు.
12 ၁၂ မုဆိုးမက``ကျွန်မမှာမုန့်တစ်ချပ်မျှမရှိ ကြောင်း အသက်ရှင်တော်မူသောသင်၏ဘုရားသခင်ကိုတိုင်တည်၍ကျိန်ဆိုပါ၏။ မုန့်ခွက် ထဲတွင်မုန့်ညက်လက်တစ်ဆုပ်စာနှင့်ဆီဘူး တွင် သံလွင်ဆီအနည်းငယ်မျှသာကျွန်မမှာ ရှိပါ၏။ ဤရှိစုမဲ့စုကလေးဖြင့်ကျွန်မ နှင့်သားငယ်အတွက်မုန့်လုပ်၍မီးဖုတ်စား နိုင်ရန် ဤနေရာသို့လာ၍ထင်းအနည်းငယ် ခွေနေခြင်းဖြစ်ပါသည်။ ထိုမုန့်သည်ကျွန်မ တို့နောက်ဆုံးစားကြရမည့်အစားအစာပင် ဖြစ်ပါသည်။ ထို့နောက်ကျွန်မတို့သည်အစာ ငတ်၍သေကြရန်ပင်ဖြစ်ပါသည်'' ဟုပြန် ပြောလေ၏။
౧౨అందుకామె “నీ దేవుడు యెహోవా జీవం తోడు. గిన్నెలో కొద్దిగా పిండి, సీసాలో కొంచెం నూనె మాత్రం నా దగ్గర ఉన్నాయి. ఒక్క రొట్టె కూడా లేదు. చావబోయే ముందు నేను ఇంటికి వెళ్లి నాకూ నా కొడుక్కీ ఒక రొట్టె తయారు చేసుకుని తిని ఆపైన ఆకలితో చచ్చి పోవాలని, కొన్ని కట్టెపుల్లలు ఏరుకోడానికి వచ్చాను” అంది.
13 ၁၃ ဧလိယကလည်း``မစိုးရိမ်နှင့်။ သင်တို့စားရန် အစားအစာကိုသာသွား၍ပြင်ဆင်ပါလော့။ သို့ရာတွင်ဦးစွာပထမငါ၏အတွက်မုန့် ပြားတစ်ချပ်ကိုလုပ်၍ယူခဲ့လော့။ နောက်မှ ကျန်ရှိသောမုန့်ညက်ဖြင့်သင်တို့သားအမိ အတွက်မုန့်ကိုလုပ်ပါလော့။-
౧౩అప్పుడు ఏలీయా ఆమెతో అన్నాడు. “భయపడవద్దు, వెళ్లి నీవు చెప్పినట్టే చెయ్యి. అయితే అందులో ముందుగా నాకొక చిన్న రొట్టె చేసి, నా దగ్గరికి తీసుకురా. తరువాత నీకూ నీ కొడుక్కీ రొట్టెలు చేసుకో.
14 ၁၄ အဘယ်ကြောင့်ဆိုသော်ဣသရေလအမျိုး သားတို့၏ဘုရားသခင်ထာဝရဘုရားက`ငါ ထာဝရဘုရားသည်မိုးကိုမရွာစေမီကာလ အတွင်း မုန့်ခွက်တွင်မုန့်ပြတ်ရလိမ့်မည်မဟုတ်။ ဆီဘူးတွင်လည်းဆီပြတ်ရလိမ့်မည်မဟုတ်' ဟုမိန့်တော်မူသောကြောင့်ဖြစ်သည်'' ဟု မုဆိုးမအားပြောလေ၏။
౧౪భూమి మీద యెహోవా వాన కురిపించే వరకూ ఆ గిన్నెలో ఉన్న పిండి తగ్గదు, సీసాలో నూనె అయిపోదని ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల దేవుడు యెహోవా చెప్పాడు.”
15 ၁၅ မုဆိုးမသည်ဧလိယပြောသည့်အတိုင်းပြု သဖြင့် သူတို့အားလုံးပင်ရက်ပေါင်းများစွာ စားရန်အတွက် အစားအစာကိုအလုံ အလောက်ရရှိကြလေသည်။-
౧౫అప్పుడు ఆమె వెళ్లి ఏలీయా చెప్పిన మాట ప్రకారం చేసింది. అతడూ, ఆమె, ఆమె కొడుకు చాలా రోజులు భోజనం చేస్తూ వచ్చారు.
16 ၁၆ ဧလိယအားဖြင့်ထာဝရဘုရားကတိ ပေးတော်မူခဲ့သည့်အတိုင်း မုန့်ခွက်တွင်မုန့် ညက်မပြတ်။ ဆီဘူးတွင်လည်းဆီမပြတ်။
౧౬యెహోవా ఏలీయా ద్వారా చెప్పినట్టు, గిన్నెలోని పిండి తక్కువ కాలేదు, సీసాలోని నూనె అయిపోలేదు.
17 ၁၇ ကာလအနည်းငယ်ကြာသောအခါ မုဆိုးမ ၏သားသည်ဖျားနာ၍ သူ၏ရောဂါအခြေ အနေမှာဆိုးသည်ထက်ဆိုး၍လာပြီးလျှင် နောက်ဆုံး၌သူငယ်သည်သေဆုံးသွားတော့ ၏။-
౧౭కొంతకాలం తరువాత ఆ వితంతువు కొడుక్కి జబ్బు చేసింది. జబ్బు ముదిరి, అతడు చనిపోయాడు.
18 ၁၈ မုဆိုးမသည်ဧလိယအား``အို ထာဝရဘုရား ၏အစေခံ၊ အရှင်သည်အဘယ်ကြောင့်ကျွန်မ အားဤသို့ဒုက္ခရောက်စေပါသနည်း။ အရှင် သည်ကျွန်မ၏သားသေရအောင်ဘုရားသခင်အား ကျွန်မ၏အပြစ်များကိုပြန် လည်သတိပေးရန်အတွက် ဤအရပ်သို့ ကြွလာတော်မူပါသလော'' ဟုဆို၏။
౧౮ఆమె ఏలీయాతో “దేవుని మనిషీ, మీరు నా దగ్గరికి రావడం దేనికి? నా పాపాన్ని నాకు గుర్తు చేసి నా కొడుకుని చంపడానికా?” అంది.
19 ၁၉ ဧလိယက``သင်၏သားကိုငါ့အားပေးလော့'' ဟုဆိုကာမုဆိုးမ၏လက်မှသူငယ်ကိုယူ၍ မိမိတည်းခိုရာအထက်ခန်းသို့ပွေ့ချီသွား ပြီးလျှင် အိပ်ရာပေါ်တွင်ချထားလိုက်၏။-
౧౯అతడు “నీ కొడుకును ఇలా తీసుకురా” అని చెప్పాడు. ఆమె చేతుల్లో నుంచి వాణ్ణి తీసుకు తానున్న పై అంతస్తు గదిలోకి వెళ్లి తన మంచం మీద వాణ్ణి పడుకోబెట్టాడు.
20 ၂၀ ထို့နောက်သူသည်``အို အကျွန်ုပ်၏ဘုရားသခင် ထာဝရဘုရား၊ ဤမုဆိုးမအားအဘယ် ကြောင့်ကိုယ်တော်သည် ဤသို့ထိတ်လန့်ဖွယ် ကောင်းသောအမှုကိုပြုတော်မူပါသနည်း။ ထိုအမျိုးသမီးသည်ကျွန်ုပ်အားကောင်းစွာ ကျွေးမွေးပြုစုပါ၏။ သို့ရာတွင်ယခုကိုယ် တော်သည်သူ၏သားငယ်ကိုသေစေတော် မူပါပြီ'' ဟုကျယ်လောင်စွာဆုတောင်းပတ္ထ နာပြုလေ၏။-
౨౦“యెహోవా నా దేవా, నన్ను చేర్చుకున్న ఈ విధవరాలి కొడుకుని చనిపోయేలా చేసి నీవు కూడా ఆమె మీదికి కీడు తెచ్చావా?” అని యెహోవాకు మొర్రపెట్టాడు.
21 ၂၁ ထို့နောက်ဧလိယသည်သူငယ်၏အပေါ်တွင် သုံးကြိမ်တိုင်တိုင်ဝမ်းလျားမှောက်ပြီးလျှင်``အို အကျွန်ုပ်၏ဘုရားသခင်ထာဝရဘုရား၊ ဤကလေးကိုအသက်ပြန်၍ရှင်စေတော် မူပါ'' ဟုဆုတောင်း၏။-
౨౧ఆ బాలుడి మీద మూడుసార్లు బోర్లా పండుకుని “యెహోవా నా దేవా, నా మొర్ర ఆలకించి ఈ బాలుడికి మళ్ళీ ప్రాణం ఇవ్వు” అని యెహోవాకు ప్రార్థించాడు.
22 ၂၂ ထာဝရဘုရားသည်ဧလိယ၏ပန်ကြား ချက်ကိုနားညောင်းတော်မူသဖြင့် ကလေး သည်ထွက်သက်ဝင်သက်ကိုပြန်လည်ရရှိ ကာအသက်ပြန်၍ရှင်လာလေသည်။
౨౨యెహోవా ఏలీయా చేసిన ప్రార్థన ఆలకించి ఆ బాలుడికి ప్రాణం పోశాడు. వాడు బతికాడు.
23 ၂၃ ဧလိယသည်သူငယ်ကိုအိမ်အောက်ထပ်သို့ ချီဆောင်သွားပြီးလျှင် မိခင်ဖြစ်သူအား``ကြည့် လော့။ သင်၏သားသည်အသက်ရှင်လျက်ရှိ ပါ၏'' ဟုဆို၏။
౨౩ఏలీయా ఆ అబ్బాయిని ఎత్తుకుని గదిలోనుంచి దిగి ఇంట్లోకి తీసుకు వచ్చి వాడి తల్లికి అప్పగించి “చూడు, నీ కొడుకు బతికే ఉన్నాడు” అని చెప్పాడు.
24 ၂၄ ထိုအမျိုးသမီးကလည်း``အရှင်သည်ဘုရားသခင်၏အစေခံဖြစ်ကြောင်းကိုလည်းကောင်း၊ ထာဝရဘုရားသည်အရှင်အားဖြင့်ဗျာဒိတ် ပေးတော်မူကြောင်းကိုလည်းကောင်း ယခု ကျွန်မသိပါပြီ'' ဟုပြန်ပြောလေ၏။
౨౪ఆ స్త్రీ ఏలీయాతో “నీవు దైవసేవకుడివని, నీవు పలుకుతున్న యెహోవా మాట వాస్తవమని దీని వల్ల నాకు తెలిసింది” అంది.
