1 Zvino Eria muTishibhi aigara muGireadhi, akati kuna Ahabhu, “NaJehovha, Mwari waIsraeri mupenyu, wandinoshumira, hakuchazova nedova kana mvura inonaya mumakore anotevera kunze kwokutenge ndareva ini.”
Afei, Elia a ofi Tisbi a ɛwɔ Gilead no ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene Ahab se, “Mmere dodow a Awurade, Onyankopɔn a mesɔre no som no, Israel Nyankopɔn te ase yi, ɛbɔ rensi, na osu nso rentɔ mfe kakraa bi mu, gye sɛ ɛnam mʼasɛm so.”
2 Ipapo shoko raJehovha rakasvika kuna Eria richiti,
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Elia se,
3 “Ibva pano, nanga kumabvazuva undovanda paRukova rweKeriti, kumabvazuva kweJorodhani.
“Kɔ asu Kerit a ɛwɔ apuei fam no a ɛbɔ Asubɔnten Yordan mu no, na kohintaw hɔ.
4 Uchanwa mvura yorukova urwu, uye ndarayira makunguo kuti akupe zvokudya ikoko.”
Nom asu no mu nsu, na di nea kwaakwaadabi no de bɛbrɛ wo, efisɛ, mahyɛ sɛ wɔmmrɛ wo aduan.”
5 Saka akaita zvaakanga audzwa naJehovha. Akaenda kuRukova rweKeriti, kumabvazuva kweJorodhani, akagarako.
Enti Elia yɛɛ sɛnea Awurade aka akyerɛ no no. Ɔbɔɔ atenae wɔ asu Kerit ho.
6 Makunguo akamuvigira chingwa nenyama mangwanani, nechingwa nenyama manheru, uye akanwa mvura murukova.
Kwaakwaadabi no brɛɛ no brodo ne nam anɔpa ne anwummere biara, na ɔnom nsu fii asu no mu.
7 Mushure menguva yakati, rukova rwakapwa nokuti mvura yakanga isinganayi panyika.
Akyiri no, asu no yowee, efisɛ na osu ntɔ wɔ asase no so baabiara.
8 Zvino shoko raJehovha rakauya kwaari richiti,
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Elia se,
9 “Simuka izvozvi uende kuZarefati kunyika yeSidhoni undogarako. Ndarayira chirikadzi iri munzvimbo iyoyo kuti ikupe zvokudya.”
“Kɔ na kɔtena akuraa Sarefat a ɛbɛn Sidon kurow no mu. Okunafo bi wɔ hɔ a ɔbɛma wo aduan adi. Makyerɛ no nea ɔnyɛ.”
10 Naizvozvo akaenda kuZarefati. Paakasvika pasuo reguta, chirikadzi yakanga iripo ichitsvaga huni. Akamudana akamubvunza akati, “Mungandivigirawo mvura shoma shoma mumukombe here kuti ndinwe?”
Na Elia kɔɔ Sarefat. Oduu kurow no abɔntenpon no ano no, ohuu okunafo bi a ɔrehwehwɛ mmabaa. Obisaa no se, “Mesrɛ wo, wubetumi ama me nsu kuruwa ma bi?”
11 Paakanga ava kuenda kundoitora, iye akadanidzira akati, “Mundivigirewo chimedu chechingwa, ndapota.”
Ɔrekɔsaw nsu no aba no, ɔsrɛɛ no se, “Ɛyɛ a fa brodo sin bi nso ka ho.”
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.”
Okunafo no kae se, “Meka Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn no ntam se, minni brodo sin koraa wɔ fie. Na nea mewɔ wɔ fie yɛ asikresiam kakra ne ngo toa ase kakraa bi. Mekɔpɛɛ mmabaa kakra a mede bɛnoa aduan a etwa to, na me ne me babarima adi, na afei yɛawuwu.”
13 Eria akati kwaari, “Usatya. Enda kumba undoita sezvawareva. Asi tanga wandibikira chingwa chiduku pane zvaunazvo ugouya nacho kwandiri, mushure ugozvigadzirira iwe nomwanakomana wako.
Nanso Elia ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Nsuro! Kɔ na kɔnoa aduan a etwa to no. Nanso ɛyɛ a, to brodo ketewa bi di kan ma me ansa. Na ɛno akyi no, aduan bebree bɛka ama wo ne wo ba no.
14 Nokuti zvanzi naJehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, ‘Furawu iri muhari imomo haizoperi uye mafuta ari muhari haazoperi kusvikira zuva iro richanayiswa mvura panyika naJehovha.’”
Na sɛɛ na Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn ka, ‘Daa asikresiam ne ngo pii bɛka wɔ wo adekorade no mu kosi bere a Awurade bɛma osu atɔ, ama nnɔbae anyin bio.’”
15 Akaenda akandoita sezvaakanga audzwa naEria. Saka zvokudya zvaEria zvakavapo mazuva ose uyewo nezvomukadzi nemhuri yake.
Na ɔyɛɛ sɛnea Elia kae no. Enti ɔno, Elia ne ne ba no kɔɔ so dii asikresiam ne ngo a na ɔwɔ no ara nna bebree.
16 Furawu yaiva muhari haina kupera uye mafuta aiva muhari haana kupera, sezvazvakanga zvarehwa neshoko raJehovha rakataurwa naEria.
Bere biara na wɔwɔ asikresiam ne ngo a ɛbɛso wɔn di wɔ wɔn adekorade mu sɛnea Awurade nam Elia so hyɛɛ ho bɔ no.
17 Kwapera nguva yakati, mwanakomana womukadzi, muridzi weimba, akarwara. Kurwara kwake kwakanyanya kwazvo, pakupedzisira akamira kufema.
Akyiri no, ɔbea no babarima no yaree. Ɔyare no kɔɔ so ara kosii sɛ abofra no wui.
18 Mukadzi akati kuna Eria, “Ndakakutadzireiko, munhu waMwari? Wakauya here kuzondirangaridza chivi changu nokuuraya mwanakomana wangu?”
Ɔbea no bisaa Elia se, “Onyankopɔn nipa, dɛn na woayɛ me yi? Wobaa ha sɛ worebɛtwe mʼaso wɔ me bɔne a mayɛ ho nti na woakum me ba yi?”
19 Eria akapindura akati, “Ndipe mwanakomana wako kuno.” Akamutora kubva mumaoko ake, akamutakura akaenda naye kuimba yapamusoro yaaigara, akamuradzika pamubhedha wake.
Nanso Elia ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Fa wo ba no ma me.” Na ogyee abarimaa no fii ne nsam. Ɔde no kɔɔ soro dan bi a wɔsoɛɛ mu no mu. Ɔde owufo no too ne mpa so.
20 Ipapo akadanidzira kuna Jehovha akati, “Haiwa, Jehovha Mwari wangu, mauyisawo here dambudziko pachirikadzi iyi yandiri kugara nayo, nokuuraya mwanakomana wayo?”
Elia su guu Awurade so se, “Awurade, adɛn nti na wode saa awerɛhow yi abɛto okunafo yi a ɔde ne fi asom me hɔho yi so, na wama ne ba awu yi?”
21 Ipapo akazvambarara pamusoro pomukomana katatu akadanidzira kuna Jehovha akati, “Haiwa Jehovha Mwari wangu, itai kuti mweya womukomana uyu udzokere maari!”
Obutuw abofra no so mprɛnsa, su guu Awurade so se, “Ao Awurade, me Nyankopɔn, mesrɛ, ma abofra yi nnya nkwa bio.”
22 Jehovha akanzwa kudanidzira kwaEria, mweya womukomana ukadzokera maari, akararama.
Awurade tiee Elia mpaebɔ, na abofra no nyaa nkwa bio.
23 Eria akatora mwana akamutakura achibuda mumba maakanga ari akaenda naye mumba huru. Akamupa kuna mai vake akati, “Tarirai, mwanakomana wenyu mupenyu!”
Enti Elia de no fi soro hɔ brɛɛ ne na, ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Hwɛ, wo ba no anyan.”
24 Ipapo mukadzi akati kuna Eria, “Zvino ndazoziva kuti muri munhu waMwari uye kuti shoko raJehovha rinobuda mumuromo menyu nderechokwadi.”
Na ɔbea no ka kyerɛɛ Elia se, “Afei, mahu pefee sɛ woyɛ Onyankopɔn nipa, na Awurade kasa fa wo so ampa.”
