1 Tuʻi 17
1 Pea naʻe pehē kia ʻEhapi ʻe ʻIlaisiā ko e tangata Tisipa ʻaia naʻe ʻoe kakai ʻo Kiliati, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia ʻoku ou tuʻu ni ʻi hono ʻao, pea ʻe ʻikai ha hahau pe ha ʻuha ʻi he ngaahi taʻu ni, kae ʻi heʻeku lea ʻaʻaku.”
And Eliiah the Tishbite one of the inhabitats of Gilead sayde vnto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liueth, before whom I stand, there shall be neither dewe nor rayne these yeeres, but according to my worde.
2 Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia, ʻo pehē,
And the worde of the Lord came vnto him, saying,
3 “ʻAlu koe ʻi heni, pea ke foki atu ki he feituʻu hahake, pea fakafufū koe ki he [potu ]vaitafe ʻo Kiliti ʻaia ʻoku hanga atu ki Sioatani.
Go hence, and turne thee Eastwarde, and hide thy selfe in the riuer Cherith, that is ouer against Iorden,
4 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, te ke inu ai mei he vaitafe; pea kuo u fekau ki he fanga leveni ke fafangaʻi koe ʻi ai.”
And thou shalt drinke of the riuer: and I haue comanded the rauens to feede thee there.
5 Ko ia, naʻa ne ʻalu ʻo ne fai ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova: he naʻa ne ʻalu ʻo nofo ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ko Kiliti, ʻaia ʻoku hanga atu ki Sioatani.
So he went and did according vnto the word of the Lord: for he went, and remained by the riuer Cherith that is ouer against Iorden.
6 Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻae mā mo e kanomate kiate ia ʻe he fanga leveni ʻi he pongipongi, mo e mā mo e kanomate ʻi he efiafi; pea naʻa ne inu mei he vaitafe.
And the rauens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the euening, and he dranke of the riuer.
7 Pea ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻoe ngaahi ʻaho niʻihi, naʻe mamaha ʻae vaitafe, koeʻuhi ko e ʻikai tō ha ʻuha ʻi he fonua.
And after a while the riuer dryed vp, because there fell no rayne vpon the earth.
8 Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia, ʻo pehē,
And the worde of the Lord came vnto him, saying,
9 “Tuʻu hake, pea ke ʻalu ki Salifati ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Saitoni, pea ke nofo ai: vakai kuo u fekau ki ha fefine ʻi ai kuo pekia hono husepāniti ke ne tauhi koe.”
Vp, and get thee to Zarephath, which is in Zidon, and remaine there: beholde, I haue commanded a widow there to sustaine thee.
10 Ko ia naʻa ne tuʻu hake ai ʻo ʻalu ki Salifati. Pea ʻi heʻene hoko mai ki he matapā ʻoe kolo, vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae fefine paea naʻe fai ʻene okooko: pea naʻa ne ui ange kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke ʻomi ha momoʻi vai siʻi ʻi ha ipu ke u inu.”
So he arose, and went to Zarephath: and when he came to the gate of the citie, beholde, the widowe was there gathering stickes: and he called her, and sayde, Bring me, I pray thee, a litle water in a vessel, that I may drinke.
11 Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu atu ko hono ʻomi, naʻa ne ui atu kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ʻomi kiate au ha momoʻi konga mā ʻi ho nima.”
And as she was going to fet it, he called to her, and sayde, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsell of bread in thine hand.
12 Pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe ia, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ka ʻoku ʻikai te u maʻu ha foʻi mā, ka ko e falukunga pe taha ʻoe mahoaʻa ʻi ha puha, mo e kihiʻi lolo siʻi ʻi ha ipu: pea vakai, ʻoku ou okooko ni ʻae vaʻa ʻakau ʻe ua, koeʻuhi ke u ʻalu ʻo teuteu ia maʻaku mo ʻeku tama, koeʻuhi kema kai ia, pea ma toki mate.”
And shee sayde, As the Lord thy God liueth, I haue not a cake, but euen an handfull of meale in a barrel, and a litle oyle in a cruse: and behold, I am gathering a fewe stickes for to go in, and dresse it for me and my sonne, that we may eate it, and dye.
13 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā kiate ia, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē; ʻalu ʻo fai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo lea: ka ke tomuʻa ngaohi mei ai ha kihiʻi foʻi mā maʻaku, pea ke toki ngaohi maʻau pea mo hoʻo tama.
And Eliiah said vnto her, Feare not, come, do as thou hast sayd, but make me thereof a litle cake first of all, and bring it vnto mee, and afterward make for thee, and thy sonne.
14 He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ‘ʻE ʻikai fakaʻaʻau ke ʻosi ʻae mahoaʻa ʻi he puha, pea ʻe ʻikai maha ʻae lolo ʻi he ipu, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻe foaki ai ʻe Sihova ʻae ʻuha ki he fonua.’”
For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The meale in the barrel shall not be wasted, neither shall the oyle in the cruse be diminished, vnto the time that the Lord send rayne vpon the earth.
15 Pea naʻe ʻalu ia mo ne fai ʻo tatau mo e lea ʻa ʻIlaisiā: pea ko ia, mo ia, pea mo hono kaungāfale, naʻa nau kai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho lahi.
So she went, and did as Eliiah sayd, and she did eate: so did he and her house for a certaine time.
16 Pea naʻe ʻikai fakaʻaʻau ke ʻosi ʻae mahoaʻa ʻi he puha, pea naʻe ʻikai foki ke maha ʻae lolo ʻi he ipu, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki ʻia ʻIlaisiā.
The barrell of the meale wasted not, nor the oyle was spent out of the cruse, according to the worde of the Lord, which he spake by the hand of Eliiah.
17 Pea ʻi heʻene hili ange ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe tō ʻae mahaki ki he tama ʻae fefine, ko e tauhi ʻoe fale; pea naʻe mālohi ʻaupito ʻa hono mahaki pea naʻe ʻikai kei hoko ʻa ʻene mānava.
And after these things, the sonne of the wife of the house fell sicke, and his sicknesse was so sore, that there was no breath left in him.
18 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kia ʻIlaisiā, “ʻA koe, ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ko e hā au kiate koe? Kuo ke haʻu ke fakamanatuʻi kiate au ʻa ʻeku kovi, pea ke tāmateʻi ʻa ʻeku tama?”
And she said vnto Eliiah, What haue I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come vnto me to call my sinne to remembrance, and to slay my sonne?
19 Pea naʻa ne pehē atu kiate ia, “Foaki mai ho tama kiate au.” Pea naʻa ne toʻo mai ia mei hono fatafata, ʻo ne ʻave ia ki he fata ʻi ʻolunga, ʻaia naʻa ne nofo ai, pea naʻa ne tuku hifo ia ki hono mohenga ʻoʻona.
And he said vnto her, Giue me thy sonne. and he tooke him out of her bosome, and caryed him vp into a chamber, where he abode, and laid him vpon his owne bed.
20 Pea naʻa ne tangi kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, kuo ke ʻomi foki ʻae kovi ki he fefine paea ʻaia ʻoku ou nofo ki ai, ʻi hoʻo tāmateʻi ʻa ʻene tama?”
Then he called vnto the Lord, and sayde, O Lord my God, hast thou punished also this widowe, with whome I soiourne, by killing her sonne?
21 Pea naʻa ne fakafoʻofoʻohifo ia ki he tamasiʻi ʻo liunga tolu, mo ne tangi kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe tuku ke toe hoko mai ʻae laumālie ʻoe tamasiʻi ni kiate ia.”
And he stretched himselfe vpon the childe three times, and called vnto the Lord, and saide, O Lord my God, I pray thee, let this childes soule come into him againe.
22 Pea naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae leʻo ʻo ʻIlaisiā; pea naʻe toe hoko mai ʻae laumālie ʻoe tamasiʻi kiate ia, pea naʻa ne toe moʻui.
Then the Lord heard the voyce of Eliiah, and the soule of the child came into him againe, and he reuiued.
23 Pea naʻe toʻo ʻae tamasiʻi ʻe ʻIlaisiā, pea ne ʻohifo ia mei he potu ʻi ʻolunga ki fale, pea ne ʻatu ia ki heʻene faʻē: pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā, “Vakai, ʻoku moʻui hoʻo tama.”
And Eliiah tooke the childe, and brought him downe out of the chamber into the house, and deliuered him vnto his mother, and Eliiah sayd, Behold, thy sonne liueth.
24 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fefine kia ʻIlaisiā, “Ko eni ko e meʻa ni ʻoku ou ʻilo ai ko e tangata koe ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ho ngutu, ʻoku moʻoni ia.”
And the woman saide vnto Eliiah, Now I knowe that thou art a man of God, and that the worde of the Lord in thy mouth is true.
