1Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the foreigners of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to 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.
2The word of Yahweh came to him, saying,
2Huan, Toupa thu a kiangah a hongtunga,
3“Go away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.
3Hiai akipan pawt inla, suah lam juanin pai inla, Jordan china om Kerith luiah vabu in.
4It shall be, that you shall drink of the brook. I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
4Huan, hichi ahi dinga. Huai lui tui na ne dinga; huai laia nang on vak dingin vaak thu ka pe khin hi, chiin.
5So he went and did according to the word of Yahweh; for he went and lived by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.
5Huchiin a kuan a, toupa thu bangin a hihta a: Jordan chin a om Kerith luiah ava omta hi.
6The ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.
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.
7It happened after a while, that the brook dried up, because there was 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.
8The word of Yahweh came to him, saying,
8Huan, Toupa thu a kiangah a hongtunga,
9“Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.”
9Thou inla, Zidon gama Zarephath khuaah hoh inla, huaiah omin: nang honvak dingin meithai khat thu ka pe khinta, chiin,
10So he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks: and he called to her, and said, “Please get me 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.
11As she was going to get it, he called to her, and said, “Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.”
11Huan, la dinga a kuan a sama, tanghou neuchik bek hontawi lechin, achia.
12She said, “As Yahweh your God lives, I don’t have a cake, but a handful of meal in the jar, and a little oil in the 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.”
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.
13Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go and do as you have said; but make me of it a little cake first, and bring it out to me, and afterward make some for you and for your 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 says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘The jar of meal shall not empty, neither shall the jar of oil fail, until the day that Yahweh sends rain on 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.
15She went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, ate many days.
15Huchiin, Elija gen bangin ava hih a: huan, amah leh a inkote leh Elija toh ni bangzah hiamk tak ane uh.
16The jar of meal didn’t empty, neither did the jar of oil fail, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke by Elijah.
16Elija zanga a gen Toupa thu bangin tangbuang bel bel a vuak tuan keia, sathau thawl leng a kang sam kei hi.
17It happened 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.
18She 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!”
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.
19He 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.
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.
20He cried to Yahweh, and said, “Yahweh my God, have you also brought evil on the widow with whom I stay, by killing 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.
21He stretched himself on the child three times, and cried to Yahweh, and said, “Yahweh my God, please 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.
22Yahweh listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
22Huan, Toupan Elija thu ana ngaihkhiak saka; hichiin naupang hinna amah ah a hong om nawna, a honghalh nawnta.
23Elijah 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.”
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.
24The woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of Yahweh in your 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.
