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.”
Zvino Eria muTishibhi aigara muGireadhi, akati kuna Ahabhu, “NaJehovha, Mwari waIsraeri mupenyu, wandinoshumira, hakuchazova nedova kana mvura inonaya mumakore anotevera kunze kwokutenge ndareva ini.”
2 Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia, ʻo pehē,
Ipapo shoko raJehovha rakasvika kuna Eria richiti,
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.
“Ibva pano, nanga kumabvazuva undovanda paRukova rweKeriti, kumabvazuva kweJorodhani.
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.”
Uchanwa mvura yorukova urwu, uye ndarayira makunguo kuti akupe zvokudya ikoko.”
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.
Saka akaita zvaakanga audzwa naJehovha. Akaenda kuRukova rweKeriti, kumabvazuva kweJorodhani, akagarako.
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.
Makunguo akamuvigira chingwa nenyama mangwanani, nechingwa nenyama manheru, uye akanwa mvura murukova.
7 Pea ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻoe ngaahi ʻaho niʻihi, naʻe mamaha ʻae vaitafe, koeʻuhi ko e ʻikai tō ha ʻuha ʻi he fonua.
Mushure menguva yakati, rukova rwakapwa nokuti mvura yakanga isinganayi panyika.
8 Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia, ʻo pehē,
Zvino shoko raJehovha rakauya kwaari richiti,
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.”
“Simuka izvozvi uende kuZarefati kunyika yeSidhoni undogarako. Ndarayira chirikadzi iri munzvimbo iyoyo kuti ikupe zvokudya.”
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.”
Naizvozvo akaenda kuZarefati. Paakasvika pasuo reguta, chirikadzi yakanga iripo ichitsvaga huni. Akamudana akamubvunza akati, “Mungandivigirawo mvura shoma shoma mumukombe here kuti ndinwe?”
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.”
Paakanga ava kuenda kundoitora, iye akadanidzira akati, “Mundivigirewo chimedu chechingwa, ndapota.”
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.”
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.”
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.
Eria akati kwaari, “Usatya. Enda kumba undoita sezvawareva. Asi tanga wandibikira chingwa chiduku pane zvaunazvo ugouya nacho kwandiri, mushure ugozvigadzirira iwe nomwanakomana wako.
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.’”
Nokuti zvanzi naJehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, ‘Furawu iri muhari imomo haizoperi uye mafuta ari muhari haazoperi kusvikira zuva iro richanayiswa mvura panyika naJehovha.’”
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.
Akaenda akandoita sezvaakanga audzwa naEria. Saka zvokudya zvaEria zvakavapo mazuva ose uyewo nezvomukadzi nemhuri yake.
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.
Furawu yaiva muhari haina kupera uye mafuta aiva muhari haana kupera, sezvazvakanga zvarehwa neshoko raJehovha rakataurwa naEria.
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.
Kwapera nguva yakati, mwanakomana womukadzi, muridzi weimba, akarwara. Kurwara kwake kwakanyanya kwazvo, pakupedzisira akamira kufema.
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?”
Mukadzi akati kuna Eria, “Ndakakutadzireiko, munhu waMwari? Wakauya here kuzondirangaridza chivi changu nokuuraya mwanakomana wangu?”
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.
Eria akapindura akati, “Ndipe mwanakomana wako kuno.” Akamutora kubva mumaoko ake, akamutakura akaenda naye kuimba yapamusoro yaaigara, akamuradzika pamubhedha wake.
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?”
Ipapo akadanidzira kuna Jehovha akati, “Haiwa, Jehovha Mwari wangu, mauyisawo here dambudziko pachirikadzi iyi yandiri kugara nayo, nokuuraya mwanakomana wayo?”
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.”
Ipapo akazvambarara pamusoro pomukomana katatu akadanidzira kuna Jehovha akati, “Haiwa Jehovha Mwari wangu, itai kuti mweya womukomana uyu udzokere maari!”
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.
Jehovha akanzwa kudanidzira kwaEria, mweya womukomana ukadzokera maari, akararama.
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.”
Eria akatora mwana akamutakura achibuda mumba maakanga ari akaenda naye mumba huru. Akamupa kuna mai vake akati, “Tarirai, mwanakomana wenyu mupenyu!”
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.”
Ipapo mukadzi akati kuna Eria, “Zvino ndazoziva kuti muri munhu waMwari uye kuti shoko raJehovha rinobuda mumuromo menyu nderechokwadi.”
