1 Kings 17
1 And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the sojourners of Gilead, said to Ahab, As Jehovah, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.
Alò, Élie, Tichbit la, ki te pami fondatè Galaad yo, te di a Achab: “Jan SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, viv la, devan sila mwen kanpe a, anverite p ap gen ni lawouze, ni lapli nan ane sila yo, sof ke pa pawòl mwen.”
2 And the word of Jehovah came to him, saying,
Pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a li e te di:
3 Get thee from here, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith that is before the Jordan.
“Kite andwa sila a, vire vè lès e kache akote flèv Kerith ki nan lès a Jourdain an.
4 And it shall be, that thou shall drink of the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
Li va fèt ke ou va bwè nan flèv la e mwen te kòmande zwazo kòbo pou ba ou pwovizyon.”
5 So he went and did according to the word of Jehovah, for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith that is before the Jordan.
Konsa, li te ale e te fè selon pawòl SENYÈ a; paske li te ale viv akote flèv Kerith la, ki te vè lès a Jourdain an.
6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening, and he drank of the brook.
Kòbo yo te mennen ba li pen avèk vyann, e nan aswè li ta bwè nan flèv la.
7 And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up because there was no rain in the land.
Li te vin rive apre yon tan ke flèv la te vin sèch, akoz pa t gen lapli nan peyi a.
8 And the word of Jehovah came to him, saying,
Konsa, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a li e te di:
9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain thee.
“Leve ale Sarepta, ki pou Sidon e rete la. Gade byen, Mwen te kòmande yon vèv ki la pou okipe ou.”
10 So 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, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel that I may drink.
Konsa, li te leve ale Sarepta e lè li te rive nan pòtay vil la, vwala, yon vèv te la e t ap ranmase bwa. Li te rele li e te di: “Souple, chèche yon ti dlo nan yon veso, pou m kab bwè.”
11 And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand.
Pandan li t ap pral chèche l, li te rele kote li e te di: “Souple, pote ban m yon ti pen nan men ou.”
12 And she said, As Jehovah thy God lives, I do not have a cake, but a handful of meal in the jar, and a little oil in the cruse. And, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son that we may eat it, and die.
Men li te di: “Jan SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, viv la, devan sila mwen kanpe a, mwen pa gen pen, sèlman yon men farin nan bòl la avèk yon ti kras lwil nan bokal la. Gade byen, mwen ap ranmase kèk mòso bwa pou m kab antre prepare pou mwen avèk fis mwen an, pou nou kab manje l e mouri.”
13 And Elijah said to her, Fear not, go and do as thou have said. But make me of it a little cake first, and bring it forth to me, and afterward make for thee and for thy son.
Élie te di li: “Pa pè. Ale. Fè jan ou te di a, men fè pou mwen yon ti gato pen avè l avan, e pote l deyò ban mwen. Apre, w ap kapab fè pou ou menm ak pou gason ou an.
14 For thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, The jar of meal shall not be used up, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that Jehovah sends rain upon the earth.
Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la: ‘Bòl farin nan p ap vid, ni boutèy lwil la p ap vid, jis jou ke SENYÈ a voye lapli sou fas tè a.’”
15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah. And she, and he, and her house, ate many days.
Konsa, li te ale, e te fè selon pawòl Élie yo, e li menm avèk gason an avèk Élie te manje pandan anpil jou.
16 The jar of meal was not used up, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke by Elijah.
Bòl farin nan pa t fini, ni boutèy lwil la pa t vid, jan pawòl SENYÈ a te pale pa Élie a.
17 And it came to pass 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.
Alò, li te vin rive apre bagay sa yo ke gason a fanm nan, mètrès kay la, te vin malad. Epi maladi li a te tèlman rèd ke li pa t gen souf ki rete nan li.
18 And she said to Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? Thou have come to me to bring my sin to remembrance, and to kill my son!
Konsa, famn nan te di a Élie: “Kisa mwen gen avè w, O nonm Bondye? Ou te vin kote mwen pou fè m vin sonje inikite mwen e mete gason mwen an a lanmò!”
19 And he said to her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the chamber where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.
Li te di a fanm nan: “Ban mwen gason ou an.” Epi li te retire li sou lestonmak li e te pote li monte nan chanm anlè kote li te rete a e li te kouche li sou pwòp kabann pa li.
20 And he cried to Jehovah, and said, O Jehovah my God, have thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn by slaying her son?
Li te rele SENYÈ a e te di: “O SENYÈ, Bondye mwen an, èske Ou osi te mennen gwo dezas sou vèv la kote mwen rete a e fè pitit li a mouri?”
21 And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried to Jehovah, and said, O Jehovah my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again.
Alò, li te lonje kò li sou pitit la twa fwa e li te rele SENYÈ a, e te di: “O SENYÈ, Bondye mwen an, mwen priye Ou, kite lavi pitit sa a retounen nan li.”
22 And Jehovah hearkened to the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
SENYÈ a te tande vwa Élie, lavi pitit la te retounen nan li e li te vin refè.
23 And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him to his mother. And Elijah said, See, thy son lives.
Élie te pran pitit la, li te mennen li desann soti chanm anlè a, li te antre nan kay la e li bay li a manman li, epi Élie te di: “Ou wè, gason ou an vivan.”
24 And the woman said to Elijah, Now I know that thou are a man of God, and that the word of Jehovah in thy mouth is truth.
Konsa, fanm nan te di a Élie: “Koulye a, mwen konnen ke ou se yon nonm Bondye, e ke pawòl SENYÈ a nan bouch ou se verite.”
