1 Kings 17
1 And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.
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.”
2 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia, ʻo pehē,
3 Get you behind, and turn you eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
“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.
4 And it shall be, that you shall drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.
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.”
5 So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
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.
6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.
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.
7 And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
Pea ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻoe ngaahi ʻaho niʻihi, naʻe mamaha ʻae vaitafe, koeʻuhi ko e ʻikai tō ha ʻuha ʻi he fonua.
8 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia, ʻo pehē,
9 Arise, get you to Zarephath, which belongs to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain you.
“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.”
10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray you, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
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.”
11 And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray you, a morsel of bread in your hand.
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.”
12 And she said, As the LORD your God lives, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
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.”
13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as you have said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for you and for your son.
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.
14 For thus says the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sends rain upon the earth.
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.’”
15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.
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.
16 And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by Elijah.
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.
17 And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him.
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.
18 And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with you, O you man of God? are you come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?
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?”
19 And he said unto her, Give me your son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into an upper room, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.
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.
20 And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, have you also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?
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?”
21 And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray you, let this child's soul come into him again.
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.”
22 And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
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.
23 And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, your son lives.
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.”
24 And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in your mouth is truth.
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.”
