41 And Elijah said to Ahab, Go up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.

42 And Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed down on the earth, and put his face between his knees.

43 And he said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up and looked, and said, {There is} nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.

44 And it came to pass at the seventh time that he said, Behold there is a cloud, small as a man's hand, arising out of the sea. And he said, Go up, say to Ahab, Harness and go down, that the pour of rain stop thee not.

45 And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heavens became black {with} clouds and wind, and there was a great pour of rain. And Ahab got on the chariot, and went to Jizreel.

41 Na ka mea a Iraia ki a Ahapa, Haere ki runga, ki te kai, ki te inu; he haruru ua hoki te rara mai nei.

42 Heoi haere ana a Ahapa ki te kai, ki te inu. Ko Iraia ia i piki ki te tihi o Karamere; a tapapa ana ia ki te whenua, ko tona mata i roto i ona turi.

43 Na ka mea ia ki tana tangata, Tena, piki atu inaianei, tirohia te ritenga atu o te moana. Na piki ana ia, titiro ana, a ka mea, Kahore kau he mea. Na ka mea ano tera, Hoki atu ano, kia whitu nga hokinga.

44 A i te whitu ka mea ia, Nana, he kapua nohinohi tera te haere ake ra i roto i te moana; kei te kapu o te ringa tangata te rite. Na ka mea tera, Haere, mea atu ki a Ahapa, Whakanohoia tou hariata, ka haere ki raro; kei araia koe e te ua.

45 Na mea rawa ake kua pouri pu te rangi i te kapua, i te hau, nui atu hoki te ua. Na rere ana tera a Ahapa i runga i te hariata, a haere ana ki Ietereere.
