1And Elias the Thesbite of the inhabitants of Galaad said to Achab: As the Lord liveth the God of Israel, in whose sight I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to the words of my mouth.
1Pea 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.”
2And the word of the Lord came to him, saying:
2Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia, ʻo pehē,
3Get thee hence, and go towards the east and hide thyself by the torrent of Carith, which is over against the Jordan,
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.
4And there thou shalt drink of the torrent: and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
4Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, te ke inu ai mei he vaitafe; pea kuo u fekau ki he fanga leveni ke fafangaʻi koe ʻi ai.”
5So he went, and did according to the word of the Lord: and going, he dwelt by the torrent Carith, which is over against the Jordan.
5Ko 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.
6And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening, and he drank of tile torrent.
6Pea 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.
7But after some time the torrent was dried up, for it had not rained upon the earth.
7Pea ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻoe ngaahi ʻaho niʻihi, naʻe mamaha ʻae vaitafe, koeʻuhi ko e ʻikai tō ha ʻuha ʻi he fonua.
8Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying:
8¶ Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia, ʻo pehē,
9Arise, and go to Sarephta of the Sidonians, and dwell there: for I have commanded a widow woman there to feed thee.
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.”
10He arose, and went to Sarephta. And when he was come to the gate of the city, he saw the widow woman gathering sticks, and he called her, and said to her: Give me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
10Ko 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.”
11And when she was going to fetch it he called after her, saying: Bring me also, I beseech thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand.
11Pea 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.”
12And she answered: As the Lord thy God liveth, I have no bread, but only a handful of meal in a pot, and a little oil in a cruse: 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.
12Pea 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.”
13And Elias said to her: Fear not, but go, and do as thou hast said: but first make for me of the same meal a little hearth cake, and bring it to me: and after make for thyself and thy son.
13Pea 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.
14For thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: The pot of meal shall not waste, nor the cruse of oil be diminished, until the day wherein the Lord will give rain upon the face of the earth.
14He 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.’”
15She went and did according to the word of Elias: and he ate, and she, and her house: and from that day
15Pea 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.
16The pot of meal wasted not, and the cruse of oil was not diminished, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke in the hand of Elias.
16Pea 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.
17And it came to pass after this that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick, and the sickness was very grievous, so that there was no breath left in him.
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.
18And she said to Elias: What have I to do with thee, thou man of God? art thou come to me that my iniquities should be remembered, and that thou shouldst kill my son?
18Pea 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?”
19And Elias said to her: Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him into the upper chamber where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.
19Pea 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.
20And he cried to the Lord, and said: O Lord my God, hast thou afflicted also the widow, with whom I am after a so maintained, so as to kill her son?
20Pea 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?”
21And he stretched, and measured himself upon the child three times, and cried to the Lord, and said: O Lord my God, let the soul of this child, I beseech thee, return into his body.
21Pea 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.”
22And the Lord heard the voice of Elias: and the soul of the child returned into him, and he revived.
22Pea naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae leʻo ʻo ʻIlaisiā; pea naʻe toe hoko mai ʻae laumālie ʻoe tamasiʻi kiate ia, pea naʻa ne toe moʻui.
23And Elias took the child, and brought him down from the upper chamber to the house below, and delivered him to his mother, and said to her: Behold thy son liveth.
23Pea 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.”
24And the woman said to Elias: Now, by this I know that thou art a man of God, and the word of the Lord in thy mouth is true.
24Pea 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.”
