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.”
1 Kala Iliya, Tisbi bora kaŋ goono ga goro Jileyad ra ne Ahab se: «Rabbi Israyla Irikoyo, nga kaŋ jine ay go ga kay, ay ze d'a fundo ka ne: harandaŋ wala beene hari si te jiirey wo ra, kala nd'ay ci.»
2The word of Yahweh came to him, saying,
2 Rabbi sanno kaa a do mo ka ne a se:
3“Go away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.
3 «Tun ka koy wayna funay haray, ka tugu Kerit gooro ra kaŋ go Urdun tanjay haray.
4It shall be, that you shall drink of the brook. I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
4 A ga ciya mo, ni ga haŋ gooro haro gaa. Ay na gaaruyaŋ lordi mo ka ne i ma ni kuru noodin.»
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.
5 A binde koy ka goy Rabbi ciyaŋo boŋ. Zama a koy ka goro Kerit gooro kaŋ go Urdun tanjay me gaa.
6The ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.
6 Gaaruyaŋ mo go ga kande a se buuru nda ham susubay nda wiciri kambo mo, a haŋ mo gooro haro gaa.
7It happened after a while, that the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
7 A ciya mo, kaŋ a gay kayna gooro mo koogu, zama beene hari siino ga te laabo ra.
8The word of Yahweh came to him, saying,
8 Rabbi sanno kaa a do koyne ka ne:
9“Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.”
9 «Ma tun ka koy Zarefat, Zidon laabo ra, ka goro noodin. Guna, ay na wayboro fo kaŋ kurnyo bu lordi noodin ka ne a ma ni kuru.»
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.”
10 Iliya binde tun ka koy Zarefat. Waato kaŋ a kaa birno meyo gaa, kala wayboro fo kaŋ kurnyo bu go noodin ga tuuri ku. Kala Iliya n'a ce ka ne a se: «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma kand'ay se hari kayna zollo ra zama ay ma haŋ.»
11As she was going to get it, he called to her, and said, “Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.”
11 Waybora goono ga koy ka kande haro kala Iliya n'a ce ka ne: «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma kand'ay se maasa zanjari kayna ni kamba ra.»
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.”
12 Waybora ne: «Ay ze da Rabbi ni Irikoyo kaŋ gonda fundi, ay sinda baa zanjarmi kayna, kala hamni kambe zora nda ji kayna kulba ra. Guna mo, ay go ga tuuri ize hinka kumna zama ay ma koy k'a hanse in d'ay izo se, iri m'a ŋwa ka bu.»
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.
13 Iliya ne a se: «Ma si humburu. Koy ka te haya kaŋ ni ci din, amma ma jin ka te ay se maasa kayna za sintina ka kand'a ay se. Kokor banda ma te nin da ni izo se.
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.’”
14 Zama yaa no Rabbi Irikoy, Israyla wano ci ka ne: Hamni kuso si koosu, ji kulba mo si koosu, kala han kaŋ hane Rabbi na hari zumandi laabo boŋ.»
15She went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, ate many days.
15 Kala waybora koy ka te Iliya sanno boŋ. Nga din da Iliya d'a windo, i kulu ŋwa jirbi boobo.
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.
16 Hamni kuso mana koosu, ji kulba mo mana koosu Rabbi sanno boŋ kaŋ a ci Iliya me ra.
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.
17 Woodin banda, kala waybora, kaŋ ga ti fu-koyo, a ize arwaso jante. A dooro mo kankam hala fulanzamyaŋ mana cindi a ra.
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!”
18 Waybora ne Iliya se: «Ya nin Irikoy bora, ifo k'ay zaa da nin? Wala ni kaa ay do no zama ni m'ay zunubey kaa taray, k'ay izo wi mo?»
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.
19 Iliya ne a se: «Ay no ni izo.» Kal a n'a ta waybora gande ra, k'a sambu ka kond'a beene kaniyaŋ fuwo ra, naŋ kaŋ nga din bara nda goray. A na arwaso dake nga bumbo daaro boŋ.
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?”
20 Day, a hẽ Rabbi gaa ka ne: «Ya Rabbi ay Irikoyo, wayboro wo kaŋ ay goono ga goro a do mo, ni na masiiba candi ka kande nga mo boŋ no, k'a izo wi?»
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.”
21 Kala Iliya na nga gaahamo salle zanka gaahamo boŋ hala sorro hinza. A na Rabbi ce ka ne: «Ya Rabbi ay Irikoyo, ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma naŋ arwaso wo fundo ma ye ka kaa a gaa.»
22Yahweh listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
22 Kala Rabbi maa Iliya jinda. Arwaso fundo mo ye ka kaa a gaa hal a funa.
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.”
23 Iliya binde na arwaso sambu ka zumbu nd'a ka fun nga kaniyaŋ fuwo ra. A kond'a ganda fuwo ra ka no nyaŋo se. Iliya ne mo: «Ni izo neeya, a gonda fundi.»
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.”
24 Waybora ne Iliya se: «Sohõ no ay bay kaŋ ni ya Irikoy boro no, Rabbi sanno mo kaŋ go ni me ra ya cimi no.»
