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.
1Gilead gama Tisbe khuaa mi Elijain Ahab kiangah, Toupa, a kianga ka om sekna Israelte Pathian hinna louin ka gen hi: kum bangzah hiam sungin ka thu louin dai leh vuah himhim a ke kei ding, a chi a.
2And the word of Jehovah came to him saying,
2Huan, Toupa thu a kiangah a hongtunga,
3Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the torrent Cherith, which is before the Jordan.
3Hiai akipan pawt inla, suah lam juanin pai inla, Jordan china om Kerith luiah vabu in.
4And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the torrent; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
4Huan, hichi ahi dinga. Huai lui tui na ne dinga; huai laia nang on vak dingin vaak thu ka pe khin hi, chiin.
5And he went and did according to the word of Jehovah; he went and abode by the torrent Cherith, which is before the Jordan.
5Huchiin a kuan a, toupa thu bangin a hihta a: Jordan chin a om Kerith luiah ava omta hi.
6And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the torrent.
6Huan, vaak ten jing lamin tanghou leh sa a hong puak jel ua, nitaklam in tanghou leh sa hong puak nawn jeljel uh; huan, lui tui a ne a.
7And it came to pass after a while that the torrent dried up, for there had been no rain in the land.
7Huan, a nung deuh in hichi ahia, huai gama vuah himhim a zuk louh jiak in lui a hong kangtata.
8And the word of Jehovah came to him saying,
8Huan, Toupa thu a kiangah a hongtunga,
9Arise, go to Zarephath, which is by Zidon, and abide there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to maintain thee.
9Thou inla, Zidon gama Zarephath khuaah hoh inla, huaiah omin: nang honvak dingin meithai khat thu ka pe khinta, chiin,
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.
10Huchiin a thou a, Zarephath khuaah a hohta a; huan, huai kho kulh kongpi ava tunin ngaiin, meithai khat sing tom ana om a; amah a sama, Belin tui neuchik honla dih ve, kana dawn ding, achia.
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.
11Huan, la dinga a kuan a sama, tanghou neuchik bek hontawi lechin, achia.
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.
12Huan, aman, Toupa na Pathian hinna louin, ka gen tanghou jaw ka neikeia, bel ah tangbuang pham khat lel leh, thawl ah sathau neuchik kia ka neia; huan, ngaiin, ka pai chia ka tapa a ding bawlna dingin singkang nih hiam leh ka tom a, huchiin ka ne ding ua, ka si mai ding uh, achia.
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.
13Huan, Elija in a kiangah, lau ken; na gen bangin va hih in: Ahihhangin huaiin tanghou neuchik petmah honbawlsak phot inla, huai hontawi inla, huai khit chiangin nanga ding leh na tapa ading na bawl na ke.
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!
14Toupa, Israel te Pathianin hichiin achia, Toupan leitung a vuah a honzuk sak masiah tangbuang bel pen a vuak tuan kei dinga, sathau thawl leng akang kei ding, chiin, achia.
15And she went and did according to the word of Elijah; and she, and he, and her house, ate a whole year.
15Huchiin, Elija gen bangin ava hih a: huan, amah leh a inkote leh Elija toh ni bangzah hiamk tak ane uh.
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.
16Elija zanga a gen Toupa thu bangin tangbuang bel bel a vuak tuan keia, sathau thawl leng a kang sam kei hi.
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.
17Huan, huai thil nungin hichi ahia, in neinu, numei tapa achi a hong na a; a china a gim mahmah a, a nak a tawpta.
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?
18Huan, aman Elija kiangah, nang Pathian mi aw, nang leh kei bang ahia I hih uh? ka khelh na hon theikhe sak ding leh ka tapa honthah sak ding a hongpai nei ve! Achia.
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.
19Huan, aman a kiangah, na tapa honpe dih ve leh, achia. Huchiin a pom lai a laksak a, a omna dantan ah a pom tou a, a lupna ah a lumsak hi.
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?
20Huan, toupa a sama, Aw Toupa ka Pathian, ka tenna meithai nu tungah leng a tapa hihlup sakin thil hoihlou na hon tungsak ta ahia? Achia.
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!
21Huchiin, naupang tungah thumvei a kijia a, toupa a sam, Aw Toupa ka Pathian, hehpihtakin hiai naupang hinna amah ah honom sak nawn in achia.
22And Jehovah heard the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the child came into him again, and he lived.
22Huan, Toupan Elija thu ana ngaihkhiak saka; hichiin naupang hinna amah ah a hong om nawna, a honghalh nawnta.
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.
23Huan, Elija in naupang a pi a, dantan a kipanin in sungah a paipih suka, a nu a pia hi; huan, Elija in, enin, na tapa a dam nawnta hi, achia.Huan, numei in Elija kiangah tuin tuh Pathian mi na hia, na kama Toupa thu thutak ahi chih kana theita hi, achia.
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.
24Huan, numei in Elija kiangah tuin tuh Pathian mi na hia, na kama Toupa thu thutak ahi chih kana theita hi, achia.
