17 ¹Elia, Tisbini a ofi Tisbe wɔ Gilead no, ka kyerɛɛ Ahab se, “Sɛnea yɛn Agya, Israel Nyankopɔn, a mugyina nʼanim no te ase yi, obosu anaa osu rentɔ mfe yi mu, gye sɛ mʼano asɛm.”

²Afei yɛn Agya asɛm baa Elia nkyɛn se:

³“Fi ha kɔ, dan wo ho kɔ apuei fam, na kɔhyɛ wo ho wɔ Kerit Asuwa ho, wɔ Yordan apuei fam. ⁴Wobɛnom asuwa no mu nsu, na mahyɛ kwaakwaadabi no sɛ wɔmma wo aduan wɔ hɔ.”

⁵Enti ɔkɔɔ hɔ kɔyɛɛ sɛnea yɛn Agya kae no; ɔkɔtenaa Kerit Asuwa ho, wɔ Yordan apuei fam. ⁶Kwaakwaadabi no de abodoo ne nam brɛɛ no anɔpa, na wɔde abodoo ne nam brɛɛ no anwummere, na ɔnomee asuwa no mu nsu. ⁷Bere tiaa bi akyi no, asuwa no wewee, efisɛ osu antɔ wɔ asase no so.

Agya no Nam Okunafo Bi So Ma Nea Ehia

⁸Afei yɛn Agya asɛm baa ne nkyɛn se:

⁹“Sɔre, kɔ Sarefat a ɛbɛn Sidon no, na tena hɔ. Mahyɛ okunafo bi a ɔte hɔ sɛ ɔmma wo aduan.”

¹⁰Enti ɔkɔɔ Sarefat. Bere a ɔduu kurow no pon ano no, okunafo bi rebɔbɔ nnyansin. Ɔfrɛɛ no se, “Mesrɛ wo, fa nsu kakra wɔ kuruwa mu brɛ me na menom.” ¹¹Bere a ɔrekɔfa no no, ɔfrɛɛ no se, “Mesrɛ wo, fa abodoo kakra nso brɛ me.”

¹²Okunafo no kae se, “Sɛnea Awurade wo Nyankopɔn te ase yi, minni abodoo biara—gye esiam nsabuo baako wɔ kuruwa mu ne ngo kakra wɔ toa mu. Mereboaboa nnyansin kakra ano sɛ mɛkɔ akɔnoa ama me ne me ba, na yɛadi, na afei yɛawuwu.”

¹³Elia ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Nsuro. Kɔ na kɔyɛ sɛnea woaka no. Nanso di kan fa mu bi yɛ abodoo ketewa bi ma me, na fa brɛ me; afei yɛ bi ma wo ne wo ba.”

¹⁴Efisɛ yɛn Agya, Israel Nyankopɔn, se: “Esiam kuruwa no mu rensa, na ngo toa no mu nso rensa, kosi da a yɛn Agya bɛma osu atɔ asase no so.”

¹⁵Ɔkɔyɛɛ sɛnea Elia kae no, na ɔbaa no ne Elia ne ɔbaa no fifo didii nna pii. ¹⁶Esiam kuruwa no mu ansa, na ngo toa no mu nso anwe, sɛnea yɛn Agya nam Elia so kae no.

¹⁷Ɛno akyi no, ɔbaa a ɔno na ɔwɔ ofi no ba barima yare. Ne yare no mu yɛɛ den araa ma ahome biara anka ne mu. ¹⁸Ɔbaa no bisaa Elia se, “Onyankopɔn nipa, dɛn na ɛda wo ne me ntam? Wobae sɛ worebɛkae me me bɔne na woakum me ba?”

¹⁹Elia kae se, “Fa wo ba no ma me.” Afei ɔfaa no fii ne nsam, soaa no kɔɔ ne dan a ɛwɔ soro hɔ mu, na ɔde no too ɔno ankasa mpa so. ²⁰Ɔsu frɛɛ yɛn Agya se, “MʼAgya, wode amanehunu aba okunafo a me ne no te yi mpo so, na woakum ne ba?” ²¹Ɔtwee ne ho too abofra no so mprɛ abiɛsa, na ɔsu frɛɛ yɛn Agya se, “MʼAgya, ma abofra yi nkwa nsan mmra ne mu.”

²²Yɛn Agya tiee Elia su no, na abofra no nkwa san baa ne mu, na ɔtenaa ase. ^a a v22 Eyi ne bere a edi kan wɔ Kyerɛwsɛm mu a wɔnyan obi fii awufo mu — ɛda yɛn Agya adi sɛ nkwa mafo ne nea ɔsan de nkwa ma, na ɛkyerɛ kwan kɔ owusɔre a ɛnam Yesu so ba ne nyinaa mu no so. ²³Elia faa abofra no, soaa no fii soro dan no mu baa fie hɔ, na ɔde no maa ne na. “Hwɛ,” Elia kae se, “wo ba no te ase.”

²⁴Ɔbaa no ka kyerɛɛ Elia se, “Afei mahu sɛ woyɛ Onyankopɔn nipa, na Onyankopɔn asɛm a ɛwɔ wʼanom no yɛ nokware.”
