To, Iliya mutumin Tishbe, daga Tishbe a Gileyad, ya ce wa Ahab, “Muddin Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila wanda nake bauta wa yana a raye, ba za a yi raɓa ko ruwan sama a’yan shekaru masu zuwa ba, sai ko na faɗa haka.”
2 Ipapo shoko raJehovha rakasvika kuna Eria richiti,

“Ka bar nan, ka nufi wajajen gabas, ka ɓuya a Rafin Kerit, gabas da Urdun.
4 Uchanwa mvura yorukova urwu, uye ndarayira makunguo kuti akupe zvokudya ikoko.”
Za ka sha daga rafin, zan kuma umarci hankaki su ciyar da kai a can.”
5 Saka akaita zvaakanga audzwa naJehovha. Akaenda kuRukova rweKeriti, kumabvazuva kweJorodhani, akagarako.
Saboda haka sai Iliya ya yi abin da Ubangiji ya faɗa masa. Ya tafi Rafin Kerit, gabas da Urdun, ya zauna a can.
6 Makunguo akamuvigira chingwa nenyama mangwanani, nechingwa nenyama manheru, uye akanwa mvura murukova.
Hankaki suka riƙa kawo masa abinci da nama, safe da yamma, ya kuma sha daga rafin.
7 Mushure menguva yakati, rukova rwakapwa nokuti mvura yakanga isinganayi panyika.
Ana nan sai rafin ya bushe saboda ba a yi ruwan sama a ƙasar ba.
8 Zvino shoko raJehovha rakauya kwaari richiti,
Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Iliya cewa,
9 “Simuka izvozvi uende kuZarefati kunyika yeSidhoni undogarako. Ndarayira chirikadzi iri munzvimbo iyoyo kuti ikupe zvokudya.”
“Je ka, nan take, zuwa Zarefat na Sidon, ka zauna a can. Na umarci wata gwauruwa a can tă ciyar da kai.”
10 Naizvozvo akaenda kuZarefati. Paakasvika pasuo reguta, chirikadzi yakanga iripo ichitsvaga huni. Akamudana akamubvunza akati, “Mungandivigirawo mvura shoma shoma mumukombe here kuti ndinwe?”
Saboda haka sai ya tafi Zarefat. Sa’ad da ya isa ƙofar gari, sai ga wata gwauruwa tana tattara’yan itace. Sai ya kira ta, ya ce, “Ki kawo mini ɗan ruwa a tulu don in sha.”
11 Paakanga ava kuenda kundoitora, iye akadanidzira akati, “Mundivigirewo chimedu chechingwa, ndapota.”
Da ta kama hanya za tă tafi tă kawo, sai ya sāke kiranta ya ce, “Ina roƙonki, ki kuma kawo mini ɗan abinci.”
12 Iye akapindura akati, “Zvirokwazvo naJehovha Mwari wenyu mupenyu, handina chingwa. Ndinongova netufurawu tushoma shoma muhari namafuta mashoma shoma muhari. Ndiri kunhonga huni shoma shoma kuti ndiende nadzo kumba ndinozvibikira kudya ini nomwanakomana wangu, kuti tigodya, tife hedu.”
Sai ta ce masa, “Na rantse da Ubangiji Allahnka, ba ni da wani abinci, sai dai ɗan gari hannu guda a tulu, da kuma ɗan mai a kwalaba. Ina tattara’yan itacen nan ne don in kai gida in yi abinci wa kaina da ɗana, don mu ci, mu mutu.”
13 Eria akati kwaari, “Usatya. Enda kumba undoita sezvawareva. Asi tanga wandibikira chingwa chiduku pane zvaunazvo ugouya nacho kwandiri, mushure ugozvigadzirira iwe nomwanakomana wako.
Iliya ya ce mata, “Kada ki ji tsoro. Ki tafi gida, ki yi yadda kika ce. Amma da farko ki yi mini’yar wainar burodi daga abin da kike da shi ki kawo mini, sa’an nan ki yi wani abu wa kanki da kuma ɗanki.
14 Nokuti zvanzi naJehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, ‘Furawu iri muhari imomo haizoperi uye mafuta ari muhari haazoperi kusvikira zuva iro richanayiswa mvura panyika naJehovha.’”
Gama abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila ya ce, ‘Tulun garin ba zai ƙare ba, kwalabar man kuma ba zai bushe ba sai ranar da Ubangiji ya bayar da ruwan sama a ƙasar.’”
15 Akaenda akandoita sezvaakanga audzwa naEria. Saka zvokudya zvaEria zvakavapo mazuva ose uyewo nezvomukadzi nemhuri yake.
Sai ta tafi, ta yi yadda Iliya ya faɗa mata. Saboda haka aka kasance da abinci kowace rana wa Iliya da kuma don macen da iyalinta.
16 Furawu yaiva muhari haina kupera uye mafuta aiva muhari haana kupera, sezvazvakanga zvarehwa neshoko raJehovha rakataurwa naEria.
Gama tulun garin bai ƙare ba, kwalabar man kuma bai bushe ba, kamar yadda Ubangiji ya faɗa wa Iliya.
17 Kwapera nguva yakati, mwanakomana womukadzi, muridzi weimba, akarwara. Kurwara kwake kwakanyanya kwazvo, pakupedzisira akamira kufema.
Ana nan sai ɗan matan, wato, gwauruwan nan ya fara ciwo. Ciwon ya ƙara muni, daga ƙarshe sai ya daina numfashi.
18 Mukadzi akati kuna Eria, “Ndakakutadzireiko, munhu waMwari? Wakauya here kuzondirangaridza chivi changu nokuuraya mwanakomana wangu?”
Sai ta ce wa Iliya, “Mutumin Allah, yaya haka? Ka zo ne domin ka nuna wa Allah zunubaina, ka kuma jawo mutuwar ɗana?”
19 Eria akapindura akati, “Ndipe mwanakomana wako kuno.” Akamutora kubva mumaoko ake, akamutakura akaenda naye kuimba yapamusoro yaaigara, akamuradzika pamubhedha wake.
Iliya ya ce, “Ki miƙa mini ɗanki.” Sai ya ɗauke shi daga hannuwanta, ya kai shi ɗakin sama inda yake zama, ya kwantar da shi a gadonsa.
20 Ipapo akadanidzira kuna Jehovha akati, “Haiwa, Jehovha Mwari wangu, mauyisawo here dambudziko pachirikadzi iyi yandiri kugara nayo, nokuuraya mwanakomana wayo?”
Sa’an nan ya yi kuka ga Ubangiji ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji Allahna, don me ka kawo wannan masifa a kan gwauruwan nan? Kai ka ce in zauna tare da ita, ga shi yanzu ɗanta ya mutu.”
21 Ipapo akazvambarara pamusoro pomukomana katatu akadanidzira kuna Jehovha akati, “Haiwa Jehovha Mwari wangu, itai kuti mweya womukomana uyu udzokere maari!”
Sai ya kwanta, ya miƙe kansa a kan yaron sau uku, ya kuma yi kuka ga Ubangiji ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji Allahna, ka mai da ran yaron nan!”
22 Jehovha akanzwa kudanidzira kwaEria, mweya womukomana ukadzokera maari, akararama.
Ubangiji kuwa ya ji kukan Iliya, sai ran yaron ya dawo masa, ya kuma rayu.
23 Eria akatora mwana akamutakura achibuda mumba maakanga ari akaenda naye mumba huru. Akamupa kuna mai vake akati, “Tarirai, mwanakomana wenyu mupenyu!”
Iliya ya ɗauki yaron ya sauko da shi daga ɗakin sama zuwa cikin gida. Ya ba da shi ga mahaifiyarsa, ya ce, “Duba, ɗanki yana da rai!”
24 Ipapo mukadzi akati kuna Eria, “Zvino ndazoziva kuti muri munhu waMwari uye kuti shoko raJehovha rinobuda mumuromo menyu nderechokwadi.”
Sai matar ta ce wa Iliya, “Yanzu na san cewa kai mutumin Allah ne, Ubangiji kuma yana magana ta wurinka.”
