Elijah the Tishbite, who was one of the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.”
2 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Elijah,
Then the LORD’s word came to him, saying,
3 “Fahla liki acn se inge nu kutulap, ac wikla apkuran nu ke infacl srisrik Cherith, kutulap in Infacl Jordan.
“Go away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.
4 Infacl srisrik soko inge ac fah sot kof nimom, ac nga sap tari won raven in utuk mongo nom nu we.”
You shall drink from the brook. I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
5 Elijah el akos sap lun LEUM GOD, ac som ac muta apkuran nu ke Infacl srisrik Cherith.
So he went and did according to the LORD’s word, for he went and lived by the brook Cherith that is before the Jordan.
6 El nim kof ke infacl soko ah, na won raven utuk bread ac ikwa nal ke lotu ac eku nukewa.
The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook.
7 Tia paht toko, infacl srisrik soko ah paola, mweyen wanginla af.
After a while, the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
8 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Elijah,
The LORD’s word came to him, saying,
9 “Inge kom som nu ke siti srisrik Zarephath, apkuran nu Sidon, ac muta we. Nga sapkin tari nu sin katinmas se we in kite kom.”
“Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.”
10 Ouinge Elijah el som nu Zarephath, ac ke el tuku nu ke nien utyak nu in siti srisrik sac, sie katinmas el ti etong we. Na Elijah el fahk nu sel, “Nunak munas, use kutu kof an nimuk.”
So he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and said, “Please get me a little water in a jar, that I may drink.”
11 Ac ke el fahsr in eis, Elijah el sifilpa fahk, “Nunak munas, tuh use pac sie ipin flao an nak.”
As she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.”
12 Ac katinmas sac topuk ac fahk, “Inen LEUM GOD lom, God moul, nga fulahk lah wangin ipin flao yuruk. Pwayena ma oasr yuruk pa kitin flao takmwek oan in pol srisrik se, ac kitin kiris in sufa soko. Nga tuku ti etong in tuh munanla kitinmah lula inge nasr. Ac pa inge mongo safla lasr uh, na kut ac masrinsral nwe ke na kut misa.”
She said, “As the LORD your God lives, I don’t have anything baked, but only a handful of meal in a jar and a little oil in a jar. Behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and bake it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.”
13 Na Elijah el fahk nu sel, “Nimet fosrnga. Fahla orala mongo nomtal an, tusruktu oralawin sie srukwal in flao an nak meet ac use nu sik, na kom fah orala ma lula an nomtal.
Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go and do as you have said; but make me a little cake from it first, and bring it out to me, and afterward make some for you and for your son.
14 Tuh pa inge ma LEUM GOD lun Israel El fahk: ‘Pol sac ac fah tia pisala ke flao, ku sufa soko ah ke kiris, meet liki len se ma nga, LEUM GOD, ac supwama af.’”
For the LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘The jar of meal will not run out, and the jar of oil will not fail, until the day that the LORD sends rain on the earth.’”
15 Na katinmas sac som oru oana ma Elijah el fahk nu sel ah, na oasr na mongo nalos ke len nukewa.
She went and did according to the saying of Elijah; and she, he, and her household ate many days.
16 Oana ma LEUM GOD El wulela kac nu sel Elijah, pol sac tiana pisala ke flao, oayapa sufa soko ah tiana pisala ke kiris.
The jar of meal didn’t run out and the jar of oil didn’t fail, according to the LORD’s word, which he spoke by Elijah.
17 In kutu pacl tok, wen se nutin katinmas sac masak, ac el arulana keoki, na el misa.
After these things, the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became sick; and his sickness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.
18 Katinmas sac fahk nu sel Elijah, “Mwet lun God, efu kom ku oru ouinge nu sik? Ya kom tuku nu inge in tuh oru God Elan esamak ma koluk luk, in pwanang wen nutik elan misa?”
She said to Elijah, “What have I to do with you, you man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to memory, and to kill my son!”
19 Elijah el fahk, “Usalu nu sik.” Na el eisla tulik mukul sac liki inpoun nina kial, ac usalak nu fin twek ah, nu infukil se el muta we, ac likilya fin mwe oan kial.
He said to her, “Give me your son.” He took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the room where he stayed, and laid him on his own bed.
20 Na el pre ke sie pusra lulap ac fahk, “O LEUM GOD luk, efu kom ku filiya mwe ongoiya na upa se nu fin katinmas se inge? El kulang na nu sik ac liyeyuyang, a inge kom uniya wen natul.”
He cried to the LORD and said, “LORD my God, have you also brought evil on the widow with whom I am staying, by killing her son?”
21 Elijah el ona ac asrosrelik fin tulik sac pacl tolu ac pre, “O LEUM GOD luk, akmoulyauk tulik se inge!”
He stretched himself on the child three times, and cried to the LORD and said, “LORD my God, please let this child’s soul come into him again.”
22 LEUM GOD El porongo pre lal Elijah, ac mongin tulik sac folokyak ac el sifil moulla.
The LORD listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
23 Elijah el usya tulik sac nu ten nu yurin nina kial, ac fahk nu sel, “Liye, tulik nutum uh moul!”
Elijah took the child and brought him down out of the room into the house, and delivered him to his mother; and Elijah said, “Behold, your son lives.”
24 Nina sac fahk, “Inge nga etu lah kom sie mwet lun God, ac pwayena lah kas lom uh ma sin LEUM GOD me!”
The woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the LORD’s word in your mouth is truth.”
