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!”
Un Elija no Tizbes, no Gileādas iedzīvotājiem, sacīja uz Ahabu: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, dzīvo, kā priekšā es stāvu, šinīs gados nebūs nedz rasas nedz lietus, kā vien, kad es to sacīšu.
2 Then a revelation from the LORD came to Elijah:
Un Tā Kunga vārds uz to notika tā:
3 “Leave here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.
Ej no šejienes un griezies pret rītiem un paslēpies pie Krites upes, kas tek pret Jardāni.
4 And you are to drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
Un tur tu vari dzert no tās upes, un Es kraukļiem esmu pavēlējis, ka tiem tevi tur būs uzturēt.
5 So Elijah did what the LORD had told him, and he went and lived by the Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.
Un viņš nogāja un darīja pēc Tā Kunga vārda, un nogāja un palika pie Krites upes, kas tek pret Jardāni.
6 The ravens would bring him bread and meat in the morning and evening, and he would drink from the brook.
Un kraukļi viņam atnesa maizi un gaļu rītos un maizi un gaļu vakaros, un viņš dzēra no tās upes.
7 Some time later, however, the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land.
Bet pēc kāda laika tā upe izsīka, jo lietus tai zemē nebija.
8 Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah:
Tad Tā Kunga vārds uz viņu notika tā:
9 “Get up and go to Zarephath of Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.”
Celies un ej uz Sareptu, kas pie Sidones pieder, un paliec turpat; redzi, Es tur esmu pavēlējis vienai atraitnei, tevi uzturēt.
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.”
Tad viņš cēlās un gāja uz Sareptu Un kad viņš nonāca pie pilsētas vārtiem, redzi, tad tur viena atraitne lasīja malku. Un viņš tai sauca un sacīja: atnes man traukā kādu ūdens malciņu, ko dzert.
11 And as she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a piece of bread.”
Un tā gāja to atnest. Un viņš tai sauca un sacīja: atnes man arī kumosu maizes savā rokā.
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.”
Bet tā sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, dzīvo, man nekā cepta nav, un tik vien ir sauja miltu tīnē un maķenīt eļļas krūzē, un redzi, es esmu salasījusi kādu pāri malkas gabaliņu, un nu es iešu un sev un savam dēlam ko pataisīšu, ka ēdam un mirstam.
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,
Un Elija uz to sacīja: nebīsties, ej, pataisi to, kā tu sacījusi, bet man taisi no tiem papriekš mazu rausi un iznes man to ārā, un pēc tu arī varēsi taisīt sev un savam dēlam.
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.’”
Jo tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: milti tīnē neies galā un krūzē eļļas netrūks līdz tai dienai, kad Tas Kungs dos lietu virs zemes.
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.
Un tā nogāja un darīja pēc Elijas vārda; tā viņa ēda un viņš un viņas nams labu laiku;
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.
Milti tīnē negāja galā un krūzē eļļas netrūka pēc Tā Kunga vārda, ko viņš caur Eliju bija runājis.
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.
Un pēc tam notikās, ka šīs sievas, tās nama mātes, dēls palika slims un viņa slimība palika ļoti grūta, kamēr viņam dvašas vairs nebija.
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?”
Un tā sacīja uz Eliju: kas man ar tevi, tu Dieva vīrs? Tu pie manis esi atnācis, lai mani grēki top pieminēti un mans dēls mirst.
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.
Un viņš uz to sacīja: dod man šurp savu dēlu. Un viņš to ņēma no viņas klēpja un to uznesa augšistabā, kur viņš mita, un to lika uz savu gultu.
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?”
Un viņš piesauca To Kungu un sacīja: Kungs, mans Dievs! Vai tad Tu šai atraitnei, pie kuras es piemājoju, tik ļaunu esi darījis un nonāvējis viņas bērnu?
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!”
Un viņš stiepās pār to bērnu trīs reizes un piesauca To Kungu un sacīja: Kungs, mans Dievs! Lai jel šā bērna dvēsele atkal nāk iekš viņa!
22 And the LORD listened to the voice of Elijah, and the child’s life returned to him, and he lived.
Un Tas Kungs klausīja Elijas balsi, un tā bērna dvēsele atkal nāca iekš viņa, un tas atdzīvojās.
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.
Un Elija ņēma to bērnu un to nonesa no augšistabas namā un to deva viņa mātei; un Elija uz to sacīja: redzi še, tavs dēls dzīvs.
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.”
Tad tā sieva sacīja uz Eliju: nu es zinu, ka tu esi Dieva vīrs, un Tā Kunga vārds tavā mutē ir patiesība.
