1 مُلُوك 17
| وَقَالَ إِيلِيَّا التَّشْبِيُّ مِنْ أَهْلِ جِلْعَادَ لأَخْآبَ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِي أَخْدُمُهُ، إِنَّهُ لَنْ يَهْطِلَ نَدىً وَلا مَطَرٌ فِي هَذِهِ السِّنِينَ، إِلّا حِينَ أُعْلِنُ ذَلِكَ». | ١ 1 |
Now Elijah the Tishbite, who was among the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As surely as the LORD lives—the God of Israel before whom I stand—there will be neither dew nor rain in these years except at my word!”
| وَأَمَرَ الرَّبُّ إِيلِيَّا: | ٢ 2 |
Then a revelation from the LORD came to Elijah:
| «امْضِ مِنْ هُنَا وَاتَّجِهْ نَحْوَ الْمَشْرِقِ، وَاخْتَبِئْ عِنْدَ نَهْرِ كَرِيثَ الْمُقَابِلِ لِنَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ، | ٣ 3 |
“Leave here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.
| فَتَشْرَبَ مِنْ مِيَاهِهِ وَتَقْتَاتَ مِمَّا تُحْضِرُهُ لَكَ الْغِرْبَانُ الَّتِي أَمَرْتُهَا أَنْ تَعُولَكَ هُنَاكَ». | ٤ 4 |
And you are to drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
| فَانْطَلَقَ وَنَفَّذَ أَمْرَ الرَّبِّ، وَأَقَامَ عِنْدَ نَهْرِ كَرِيثَ مُقَابِلَ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ، | ٥ 5 |
So Elijah did what the LORD had told him, and he went and lived by the Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.
| فَكَانَتِ الْغِرْبَانُ تُحْضِرُ إِلَيْهِ الْخُبْزَ وَاللَّحْمَ صَبَاحاً وَمَسَاءً، وَكَانَ يَشْرَبُ مِنْ مَاءِ النَّهْرِ. | ٦ 6 |
The ravens would bring him bread and meat in the morning and evening, and he would drink from the brook.
| وَمَا لَبِثَ أَنْ جَفَّ النَّهْرُ بَعْدَ زَمَنٍ، لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَهْطِلْ مَطَرٌ عَلَى الأَرْضِ. | ٧ 7 |
Some time later, however, the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land.
| فَخَاطَبَ الرَّبُّ إِيلِيَّا: | ٨ 8 |
Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah:
| «قُمْ وَتَوَجَّهْ إِلَى صِرْفَةَ التَّابِعَةِ لِصِيدُونَ، وَامْكُثْ هُنَاكَ، فَقَدْ أَمَرْتُ هُنَاكَ أَرْمَلَةً أَنْ تَتَكَفَّلَ بِإِعَالَتِكَ». | ٩ 9 |
“Get up and go to Zarephath of Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.”
| فَذَهَبَ إِلَى صِرْفَةَ. وَعِنْدَمَا وَصَلَ إِلَى بَوَّابَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ شَاهَدَ امْرَأَةً تَجْمَعُ حَطَباً، فَقَالَ لَهَا: «هَاتِي لِي بَعْضَ الْمَاءِ فِي إِنَاءٍ لأَشْرَبَ». | ١٠ 10 |
So Elijah got up and went to Zarephath. When he arrived at the city gate, there was a widow gathering sticks. Elijah called to her and said, “Please bring me a little water in a cup, so that I may drink.”
| وَفِيمَا هِيَ ذَاهِبَةٌ لِتُحْضِرَهُ نَادَاهَا ثَانِيَةً وَقَالَ: «هَاتِي لِي كِسْرَةَ خُبْزٍ مَعَكِ». | ١١ 11 |
And as she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a piece of bread.”
| فَأَجَابَتْهُ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَدَيَّ كَعْكَةٌ، إِنَّمَا حَفْنَةُ دَقِيقٍ فِي الْجَرَّةِ، وَقَلِيلٌ مِنَ الزَّيْتِ فِي قَارُورَةٍ. وَهَا أَنَا أَجْمَعُ بَعْضَ عِيدَانِ الْحَطَبِ لِآخُذَهَا وَأُعِدَّ لِي ولاِبْنِي طَعَاماً نَأْكُلُهُ ثُمَّ نَمُوتُ». | ١٢ 12 |
But she replied, “As surely as the LORD your God lives, I have no bread—only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. Look, I am gathering a couple of sticks to take home and prepare a meal for myself and my son, so that we may eat it and die.”
| فَقَالَ لَهَا إِيلِيَّا: «لا تَخَافِي. امْضِي وَاصْنَعِي كَمَا قُلْتِ، وَلَكِنْ أَعِدِّي لِي مِنْهُ كَعْكَةً صَغِيرَةً أَوَّلاً وَأَحْضِرِيهَا لِي، ثُمَّ اعْمَلِي لَكِ ولاِبْنِكِ أَخِيراً، | ١٣ 13 |
“Do not be afraid,” Elijah said to her. “Go and do as you have said. But first make me a small cake of bread from what you have, and bring it out to me. Afterward, make some for yourself and your son,
| لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: إِنَّ جَرَّةَ الدَّقِيقِ لَنْ تَفْرُغَ، وَقَارُورَةَ الزَّيْتِ لَنْ تَنْقُصَ، إِلَى الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي يُرْسِلُ فِيهِ الرَّبُّ مَطَراً عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ». | ١٤ 14 |
for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour will not be exhausted and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the LORD sends rain upon the face of the earth.’”
| فَرَاحَتْ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهَا وَنَفَّذَتْ كَلامَ إِيلِيَّا، فَتَوَافَرَ لَهَا طَعَامٌ لِتَأْكُلَ هِيَ وَابْنُهَا وَإِيلِيَّا لِمُدَّةٍ طَوِيلَةٍ. | ١٥ 15 |
So she went and did according to the word of Elijah, and there was food every day for Elijah and the woman and her household.
| جَرَّةُ الدَّقِيقِ لَمْ تَفْرُغْ، وَقَارُورَةُ الزَّيْتِ لَمْ تَنْقُصْ، تَمَاماً كَمَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى لِسَانِ إِيلِيَّا. | ١٦ 16 |
The jar of flour was not exhausted and the jug of oil did not run dry, according to the word that the LORD had spoken through Elijah.
| وَحَدَثَ بَعْدَ زَمَنٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ الْمَرْأَةِ صَاحِبَةِ الْبَيْتِ اشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ الْمَرَضُ، وَمَاتَ، | ١٧ 17 |
Later, the son of the woman who owned the house became ill, and his sickness grew worse and worse, until no breath remained in him.
| فَقَالَتْ لإِيِليَّا: «أَيُّ ذَنْبٍ جَنَيْتُهُ بِحَقِّكَ يَا رَجُلَ اللهِ؟ هَلْ جِئْتَ إِليَّ لِتُذَكِّرَنِي بِإِثْمِي وَتُمِيتَ ابْنِي؟» | ١٨ 18 |
“O man of God,” said the woman to Elijah, “what have you done to me? Have you come to remind me of my iniquity and cause the death of my son?”
| فَقَالَ لَهَا: «أَعْطِينِي ابْنَكِ». وَأَخَذَهُ مِنْهَا وَصَعِدَ بِهِ إِلَى الْعُلِّيَّةِ الَّتِي كَانَ مُقِيماً فِيهَا وَأَضْجَعَهُ عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ، | ١٩ 19 |
But Elijah said to her, “Give me your son.” So he took him from her arms, carried him to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on his own bed.
| وَاسْتَغَاثَ بِالرَّبِّ مُتَضَرِّعاً: «أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهِي، أَإِلَى الأَرْمَلَةِ الَّتِي أَنَا نَازِلٌ عِنْدَهَا تُسِيءُ أَيْضاً وَتُمِيتُ ابْنَهَا؟» | ٢٠ 20 |
Then he cried out to the LORD, “O LORD my God, have You also brought tragedy on this widow who has opened her home to me, by causing her son to die?”
| ثُمَّ تَمَدَّدَ إِيلِيَّا عَلَى جُثَّةِ الْوَلَدِ ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَابْتَهَلَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ: «يَا رَبُّ إِلَهِي، أَرْجِعْ نَفْسَ هَذَا الْوَلَدِ إِلَيْهِ». | ٢١ 21 |
Then he stretched himself out over the child three times and cried out to the LORD, “O LORD my God, please let this boy’s life return to him!”
| فَاسْتَجَابَ الرَّبُّ دُعَاءَ إِيلِيَّا، وَرَجَعَتْ نَفْسُ الْوَلَدِ إِلَيْهِ فَعَاشَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And the LORD listened to the voice of Elijah, and the child’s life returned to him, and he lived.
| فَأَخَذَ إِيلِيَّا الْوَلَدَ وَنَزَلَ بِهِ مِنَ الْعُلِّيَّةِ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ، وَسَلَّمَهُ إِلَى أُمِّهِ، وَقَالَ لَهَا: «انْظُرِي، إِنَّ ابْنَكِ حَيٌّ» | ٢٣ 23 |
Then Elijah took the child, brought him down from the upper room into the house, and gave him to his mother. “Look, your son is alive,” Elijah declared.
| فَقَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ لإِيلِيَّا: «الآنَ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ رَجُلُ اللهِ، وَأَنَّ اللهَ يَنْطِقُ عَلَى لِسَانِكَ بِالْحَقِّ». | ٢٤ 24 |
Then the woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of the LORD from your mouth is truth.”
