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!”
To, Iliya mutumin Tishbe, daga Tishbe a Gileyad, ya ce wa Ahab, “Muddin Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila wanda nake bauta wa yana a raye, ba za a yi raɓa ko ruwan sama a’yan shekaru masu zuwa ba, sai ko na faɗa haka.”
2 Then a revelation from the LORD came to Elijah:
Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Iliya, ta ce,
3 “Leave here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.
“Ka bar nan, ka nufi wajajen gabas, ka ɓuya a Rafin Kerit, gabas da Urdun.
4 And you are to drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
Za ka sha daga rafin, zan kuma umarci hankaki su ciyar da kai a can.”
5 So Elijah did what the LORD had told him, and he went and lived by the Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.
Saboda haka sai Iliya ya yi abin da Ubangiji ya faɗa masa. Ya tafi Rafin Kerit, gabas da Urdun, ya zauna a can.
6 The ravens would bring him bread and meat in the morning and evening, and he would drink from the brook.
Hankaki suka riƙa kawo masa abinci da nama, safe da yamma, ya kuma sha daga rafin.
7 Some time later, however, the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land.
Ana nan sai rafin ya bushe saboda ba a yi ruwan sama a ƙasar ba.
8 Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah:
Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Iliya cewa,
9 “Get up and go to Zarephath of Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.”
“Je ka, nan take, zuwa Zarefat na Sidon, ka zauna a can. Na umarci wata gwauruwa a can tă ciyar da kai.”
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.”
Saboda haka sai ya tafi Zarefat. Sa’ad da ya isa ƙofar gari, sai ga wata gwauruwa tana tattara’yan itace. Sai ya kira ta, ya ce, “Ki kawo mini ɗan ruwa a tulu don in sha.”
11 And as she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a piece of bread.”
Da ta kama hanya za tă tafi tă kawo, sai ya sāke kiranta ya ce, “Ina roƙonki, ki kuma kawo mini ɗan abinci.”
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.”
Sai ta ce masa, “Na rantse da Ubangiji Allahnka, ba ni da wani abinci, sai dai ɗan gari hannu guda a tulu, da kuma ɗan mai a kwalaba. Ina tattara’yan itacen nan ne don in kai gida in yi abinci wa kaina da ɗana, don mu ci, mu mutu.”
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,
Iliya ya ce mata, “Kada ki ji tsoro. Ki tafi gida, ki yi yadda kika ce. Amma da farko ki yi mini’yar wainar burodi daga abin da kike da shi ki kawo mini, sa’an nan ki yi wani abu wa kanki da kuma ɗanki.
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.’”
Gama abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila ya ce, ‘Tulun garin ba zai ƙare ba, kwalabar man kuma ba zai bushe ba sai ranar da Ubangiji ya bayar da ruwan sama a ƙasar.’”
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.
Sai ta tafi, ta yi yadda Iliya ya faɗa mata. Saboda haka aka kasance da abinci kowace rana wa Iliya da kuma don macen da iyalinta.
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.
Gama tulun garin bai ƙare ba, kwalabar man kuma bai bushe ba, kamar yadda Ubangiji ya faɗa wa Iliya.
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.
Ana nan sai ɗan matan, wato, gwauruwan nan ya fara ciwo. Ciwon ya ƙara muni, daga ƙarshe sai ya daina numfashi.
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?”
Sai ta ce wa Iliya, “Mutumin Allah, yaya haka? Ka zo ne domin ka nuna wa Allah zunubaina, ka kuma jawo mutuwar ɗana?”
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.
Iliya ya ce, “Ki miƙa mini ɗanki.” Sai ya ɗauke shi daga hannuwanta, ya kai shi ɗakin sama inda yake zama, ya kwantar da shi a gadonsa.
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?”
Sa’an nan ya yi kuka ga Ubangiji ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji Allahna, don me ka kawo wannan masifa a kan gwauruwan nan? Kai ka ce in zauna tare da ita, ga shi yanzu ɗanta ya mutu.”
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!”
Sai ya kwanta, ya miƙe kansa a kan yaron sau uku, ya kuma yi kuka ga Ubangiji ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji Allahna, ka mai da ran yaron nan!”
22 And the LORD listened to the voice of Elijah, and the child’s life returned to him, and he lived.
Ubangiji kuwa ya ji kukan Iliya, sai ran yaron ya dawo masa, ya kuma rayu.
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.
Iliya ya ɗauki yaron ya sauko da shi daga ɗakin sama zuwa cikin gida. Ya ba da shi ga mahaifiyarsa, ya ce, “Duba, ɗanki yana da rai!”
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.”
Sai matar ta ce wa Iliya, “Yanzu na san cewa kai mutumin Allah ne, Ubangiji kuma yana magana ta wurinka.”
