1 Kings 17
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!”
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 Then a revelation from the LORD came to Elijah:
Pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a li e te di:
3 “Leave here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.
“Kite andwa sila a, vire vè lès e kache akote flèv Kerith ki nan lès a Jourdain an.
4 And you are to drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
Li va fèt ke ou va bwè nan flèv la e mwen te kòmande zwazo kòbo pou ba ou pwovizyon.”
5 So Elijah did what the LORD had told him, and he went and lived by the Brook of Cherith, east of 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 The ravens would bring him bread and meat in the morning and evening, and he would drink from the brook.
Kòbo yo te mennen ba li pen avèk vyann, e nan aswè li ta bwè nan flèv la.
7 Some time later, however, the brook dried up because there had been 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 Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah:
Konsa, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a li e te di:
9 “Get up and go to Zarephath of Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.”
“Leve ale Sarepta, ki pou Sidon e rete la. Gade byen, Mwen te kòmande yon vèv ki la pou okipe ou.”
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.”
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 get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a piece of bread.”
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 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.”
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 “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,
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 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.’”
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 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.
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 flour was not exhausted and the jug of oil did not run dry, according to the word that the LORD had spoken through Elijah.
Bòl farin nan pa t fini, ni boutèy lwil la pa t vid, jan pawòl SENYÈ a te pale pa Élie a.
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.
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 “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?”
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 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.
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 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?”
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 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!”
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 the LORD listened to the voice of Elijah, and the child’s life returned to him, and he lived.
SENYÈ a te tande vwa Élie, lavi pitit la te retounen nan li e li te vin refè.
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.
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 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.”
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.”
