¹And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, As Jehovah the God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except by my word.

¹¶ Na ka mea a Iraia Tihipi, no nga tangata o Kireara, ki a Ahapa, E ora ana a Ihowa, te Atua o Iharaira, kei tona aroaro nei ahau e tu ana,, e kore enei tau e whai tomairangi, e whai ua; engari ma taku kupu anake.

²And the word of Jehovah came to him saying,

²Na ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki a ia, ka mea,

³Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the torrent Cherith, which is before the Jordan.

³Haere atu i konei, anga atu whaka te rawhiti, ka piri ki te awa ki Keriri, e aro nui atu na ki Horano.

⁴And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the torrent; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.

⁴A kei te awa he wai mou; kua oti hoki nga raweni te whakahau e ahau hei whangai i a koe i reira.

⁵And he went and did according to the word of Jehovah; he went and abode by the torrent Cherith, which is before the Jordan.

⁵Na haere ana ia, meatia ana ta Ihowa i korero ai; i haere hoki, a noho ana ki te taha o te awa, o Keriti, e aro nui nei ki Horano.

⁶And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the torrent.

⁶A na nga raweni i kawe mai he taro, he kikokiko mana i te ata, he taro, he kikokiko mana i te ahiahi; no te awa hoki tona wai.

⁷And it came to pass after a while that the torrent dried up, for there had been no rain in the land.

⁷Nawai a kei etahi ra mai, ka maroke te awa, kahore hoki he ua o te whenua.

⁸And the word of Jehovah came to him saying,

⁸¶ Na ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a ia, ka mea,

⁹Arise, go to Zarephath, which is by Zidon, and abide there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to maintain thee.

⁹Whakatika, haere ki Harepata o Hairona, ki reira noho ai; nana, kua oti tetahi wahine pouaru o reira te whakahau e ahau hei whangai i a koe ki reira.

¹⁰And he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the entrance of the city, behold, a widow woman was there gathering sticks. And he called to her and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.

¹⁰Na whakatika ana ia, haere ana ki Harepata. A, no tona taenga atu ki te kuwaha o te pa, na ko tetahi wahine i reira, he pouaru, e kohikohi rakau ana. A ka karanga atu ia ki a ia, ka mea, Mauria mai he wai moku i roto i te oko, hei inu maku.

¹¹And she went to fetch [it], and he called to her and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand.

¹¹Na haere ana tera ki te tiki, a ka karanga ano ia ki a ia, Tena tetahi wahi taro maua mai i tou ringa maku.

¹²And she said, As Jehovah thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but a 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.

¹²Na ka mea ia, E ora ana a Ihowa, tou Atua, kahore aku keke; engari he kutanga paraoa i roto i te oko, me tetahi hinu, he iti nei, i roto i te ipu, e kohikohi ana ano tenei ahau i nga rakau e rua, kia haere ai ahau ki te taka i taua mea ma maua k o taku tama, mo ta maua kai atu, ka mate ai.

¹³And Elijah said to her, Fear not; go, do as thou hast said; but make me thereof a little cake first; and bring it to me; and afterwards make for thee and for thy son.

¹³Na ka mea a Iraia ki a ia, Kaua e wehi, tikina, meatia tau i ki mai na; Otiia matua hanga mai te tahi wahi hei keke maku, kia nohinohi, ka mau mai ai ki ahau; a muri iho ka hanga ma korua ko tau tama.

¹⁴For thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: The meal in the barrel shall not waste, neither shall the oil in the cruse fail, until the day that Jehovah sendeth rain upon the face of the earth!

¹⁴Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, E kore e pau te oko paraoa, e kore ano te ipu hinu e poto a taea noatia te ra e homai ai e Ihowa he ua ki te mata o te whenua.

¹⁵And she went and did according to the word of Elijah; and she, and he, and her house, ate a whole year.

¹⁵Na haere ana ia; meatia ana ta Iraia i ki ai, a kai ana raua, me tona whare ano, i nga ra maha.

¹⁶The meal in the barrel did not waste, neither did the oil in the cruse fail, according to the word of Jehovah which he had spoken through Elijah.

¹⁶Kihai te oko paraoa i hemo, kihai hoki te ipu hinu i poto, rite tonu ki te kupu a Ihowa i korerotia ra e Iraia.

¹⁷And 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 severe that there was no breath left in him.

¹⁷¶ A i muri i enei mea ka takoto mate te tama a taua wahine nona nei te whare; nui atu te kaha o tona mate kahore noa iho he manawa i mahue i roto i a ia.

¹⁸And she said to Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come to me to call mine iniquity to remembrance, and to slay my son?

¹⁸Na ka mea ia ki a Iraia, He aha taku ki a koe, e te tangata a te Atua? i haere mai na koe ki ahau kia whakamaharatia mai oku he, ki te whakamate hoki i taku tama!

¹⁹And he said to her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the upper chamber where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.

¹⁹Na ka mea tera ki a ia, Homai tau tamaiti ki ahau. Na tangohia ana e ia i tona uma, a kawea ana ki te ruma i runga, ki te wahi i noho ai ia, whakatakotoria ana e ia ki tona moenga.

²⁰And he cried to Jehovah and said, Jehovah, my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?

²⁰Na ka karanga ia ki a Ihowa, ka mea, E Ihowa, e toku Atua, kua meatia ano hoki e koe he kino ki tenei pouaru e noho nei ahau ki a ia, i tana tama ka whakamatea nei?

²¹And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried to Jehovah and said, Jehovah, my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again!

²¹Na wharoro ana ia, e toru nga wharorotanga ki runga ki te tamaiti, a ka karanga ki a Ihowa, ka mea, E Ihowa, e toku Atua, kia hoki mai te wairua o tenei tamaiti ki roto ki a ia.

²²And Jehovah heard the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the child came into him again, and he lived.

²²Na rongo tonu a Ihowa ki te reo o Iraia; a hoki ana te wairua o te tamaiti ki roto ki a ia, na kua ora.

²³And Elijah took the child, and brought him down from the upper chamber into the house, and delivered him to his mother; and Elijah said, See, thy son lives.

²³Na ka mau a Iraia ki te tamaiti, a kawea atu ana i taua ruma ki raro, ki te whare, a hoatu ana ki tona whaea: a ka mea a Iraia, Titiro, kei te ora tau tama.

²⁴And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of Jehovah in thy mouth is truth.

²⁴Na ka mea te wahine ra ki a Iraia, Katahi rawa ahau ka mohio he tangata koe na te Atua, he pono ano te kupu a Ihowa i tou mangai.
