1 Wafalme 17
1 Eliyas Mtishibi, kutoka Tishibi ya Gileadi, akamwambia Ahabu, “Kama BWANA, Mungu wa Israeli aishivyo, ambaye ninasimama, hakutakuwa na umande wala mvua isiipokuwa kwa neno langu.”
And Elie `of Thesbi, of the dwelleris of Galaad, seide to Achab, The Lord God of Israel lyueth, in whos siyt Y stonde, deeu and reyn schal not be in these yeeris, no but bi the wordis of my mouth.
2 Kisha nenola BWANA, likammjia Eliya, likisema,
And the word of the Lord was maad to hym, and seide,
3 “Ondoka hapa uende mashariki; ukajifiche karibu na kijito cha Kerithi, mashariki mwa Yorodani.
Go thou awey fro hennus, and go ayens the eest, and be thou hid in the stronde of Carith, which is ayens Jordan,
4 Nawe utakunywa maji ya kijito, na nimewaamuru kunguru kukulisha mahali hapo.”
and there thou schalt drynke of the stronde; and Y comaundide to crowis, that thei feede thee there.
5 Kwa hiyo Eliya akaenda kama neno la BWANA lilivyomwamuru. Akaenda kuishi karibu na kijito cha Kerithi, mashariki mwa Yorodani.
Therfor he yede, and dide bi the word of the Lord; and whanne he hadde go, he sat in the stronde of Carith, which is ayens Jordan.
6 Nao kunguru wakamletea mkate na nyama asubuhi, na mkate na nyama jioni, naye akanywa maji ya kijito kile.
And crowis baren to hym breed and fleisch eerli; in lijk maner in the euentid; and he drank of the stronde.
7 Lakini baada ya muda kile kijito kikakauka kwa sababu hapakuwepo na mvua katika nchi.
Forsothe after summe daies the stronde was dried; for it hadde not reynede on the erthe.
8 Neno la BWANA likamjia, likisema,
Therfor the word of the Lord was maad to hym, and seide,
9 “Inuka, uende Sarepta, ambao ni mji wa Sidoni, na ukaishi huko. Tazama nimemmwamuru mjane kukulisha.”
Rise thou, and go in to Serepta of Sydoneis, and thou schalt dwelle there; for Y comaundide to a womman, widewe there, that sche feede thee.
10 Kwa hiyo akainuka na akaenda Sarepta, na alipofika kwenye lango la mji, kulikuwa na mjane akiokota kuni. Kwa hiyo akamwita na akamwambia, “Tafadhali niletee maji kidogo kwenye jagi ninywe.”
He roos, and yede in to Sarepta of Sidoneis; and whanne he hadde come to the yate of the citee, a womman widewe gaderynge stickis apperide to hym; and he clepide hir, and seide to hir, Yyue thou to me a litil of water in a vessel, that Y drynke.
11 Naye alipokuwa akienda kuleta maji alimwita, akamwambia, “tafadhali uniletee na kipande cha mkate mkononi.”
And whanne sche yede to bringe, he criede bihynde hir bac, and seide, Y biseche, bringe thou to me also a mussel of breed in thin hond.
12 Naye akamjibu, “Kama BWANA Mungu wako aishivyo, sina mkate wowote, bali konzi moja ya unga katika chombo na mafuta kidogo kwenye chupa. Tazama, ninaokota kuni mbili ili niende kupika kwa ajili yangu na mwanangu, ili tule, na tusubiri kufa.”
And sche answeride, Thi Lord God lyueth, for Y haue no breed, no but as myche of mele in a pot, as a fist may take, and a litil of oile in a vessel; lo! Y gadere twei stickis, that Y entre, and make it to me, and to my sone, that we ete and die.
13 Eliya akamwambia, “Usiogope. Nenda ukafanye kama usemavyo. lakini nitengenezee kwanza mimi na uniletee. Ndipo baadaye ujitenegenezee wewe na mwanao.
And Elie seide to hir, Nyle thou drede, but go, and make as thou seidist; netheles make thou firste to me of that litil mele a litil loof, bakun vndur the aischis, and brynge thou to me; sotheli thou schalt make afterward to thee and to thi sone.
14 Kwa kuwa BWANA, Mungu wa Israeli anasema 'Lile pipa la unga halitaisha, wala ile chupa ya mafuta kukoma kutoa mafuta, mpaka siku ile BWANA atakapotuma mvua duniani.”
Forsothe the Lord God of Israel seith thes thingis, The pot of mele schal not faile, and the vessel of oile schal not be abatid, til to the dai in which the Lord schal yyue reyn on the face of erthe.
15 Kwa hiyo yule mjane akafanya kama Eliya alivyomwelekeza, yeye, na Eliya, na mwanae wakala kwa siku nyingi.
And sche yede, and dide bi the word of Elie; and he eet, and sche, and hir hows.
16 Lile pipa la Unga halikuisha, wala ile chupa ya mafuta haikukoma kutoa mafuta, kama vile neno la BWANA lilivyosema, kupitia kinywa cha Eliya.
And fro that dai the pot of mele failide not, and the vessel of oile was not abatid, bi the word of the Lord, which he hadde spoke in the hond of Elie.
17 Baada ya hayo mambo, yule mwana wa yule mwanamke, yule mwanamke mwenye nyumba, aliugua. Ugonjwa wake ukazidi hata akaishiwa pumzi kabisa.
Forsothe it was doon aftir these wordis, the sone of a womman hosewijf was sijk, and the sijknesse was moost strong, so that breeth dwellide not in hym.
18 Kwa hiyo mama yake akamwambia Eliya, “Je, una nini nami, ewe mtu wa Mungu? Je, umekuja kwangu ili kunikumbusha dhambi zangu na kumwua mwanangu?”
Therfor sche seide to Elie, What to me and to thee, thou man of God? Entridist thou to me, that my wickidnessis schulden be remembrid, and that thou schuldist sle my sone?
19 Naye Eliya akamjibu, “Nipe hapa mwanao.” Akambeba mtoto mikononi mwake na akampeleka mpaka chumbani alimokuwa akikaa, akamlaza yule mtoto kitanadani pake mwenyewe.
And Elie seide to hir, Yyue thi sone to me. And he took `that sone fro hir bosum, and bar in to the soler, where he dwellide; and he puttide hym on his bed.
20 Akamlilia BWANA akisema, “BWANA Mungu wangu, kwa nini umeleta majanga kwa mjane ambaye mimi ninakaa, kwa kumwua mwanae?”
And he criede to the Lord, and seide, My Lord God, whether thou hast turmentid also the widewe, at whom Y am susteyned in al maner, that thou killidist hir sone?
21 Kisha Eliya akajinyosha mwenyewe juu ya mtoto mara tatu; akamlilia BWANA akisema, “BWANA Mungu wangu, Ninakuomba, tafadhali uhai wa mtoto huyu umrudie.”
He sprad abrood hym silf, and mat on the child bi thre tymes; and he cryede to the Lord, and seide, My Lord God, Y biseche, the soule of this child turne ayen in to the entrailis of hym.
22 BWANA akaisikiliza sauti ya Eliya; uhai wa mtoto ukamrudia, na akawa hai.
The Lord herde the vois of Elie, and the soule of the child turnede ayen with ynne hym, and he lyuede ayen.
23 Eliya akamchukua mtoto na akamtoa toka chumbani kwake akamleta kwenye ile nyumba; akampatia mama yake yule mtoto na akasema, “Tazama, mwanao yuko hai.”
And Elie took the child, and puttide hym doun of the soler in to the lower hows, and bitook him to his modir; and he seide to hir, Lo! thi sone lyueth.
24 Yule mwanamke akamwambia Eliya, “Sasa natambua kuwa wewe ni mtu wa Mungu, na kwamba neno la BWANA kinywani mwako ni la kweli.”
And the womman seide to Elie, Now in this Y haue knowe, that thou art the man of God, and the word of God is soth in thi mouth.
