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!”
Ary Elia Tisbita, isan’ ny nivahiny tany Gileada, nilaza tamin’ i Ahaba hoe: Raha velona koa Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, Izay itsanganako eo anatrehany, dia tsy hisy ando na ranonorana akory amin’ izao taona izao, raha tsy araka ny teniko ihany.
2 Then a revelation from the LORD came to Elijah:
Ary ny tenin’ i Jehovah tonga taminy nanao hoe:
3 “Leave here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.
Mialà eto ianao, dia miantsinanàna ka miere any anilan’ ny renirano Kerita, izay any atsinanan’ i Jordana.
4 And you are to drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
Koa ny renirano no hisotroanao, ary ny goaika efa nodidiako hamelona anao any.
5 So Elijah did what the LORD had told him, and he went and lived by the Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.
Dia lasa izy ka nanao araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah; fa nandeha izy ka nititra teo anilan’ ny renirano Kerita any atsinanan’ i Jordana.
6 The ravens would bring him bread and meat in the morning and evening, and he would drink from the brook.
Ary ny goaika nitondra mofo sy hena ho azy isa-maraina ary mofo sy hena isan-kariva, ary ny rano tamin’ ny renirano no nisotroany.
7 Some time later, however, the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land.
Ary nony ela, dia ritra ny renirano noho ny tsi-fisian’ ny ranonorana tamin’ ny tany.
8 Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah:
Ary ny tenin’ i Jehovah tonga taminy ka nanao hoe:
9 “Get up and go to Zarephath of Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.”
Miaingà ka mankanesa any Zarefata, izay naman’ i Sidona, ary mitoera any; fa, indro, misy vehivavy mpitondratena any izay notendreko hamelona anao.
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.”
Dia niainga izy ka nankany Zarefata. Ary nony mby teo am-bavahadin’ ny tanàna izy, dia, indro, nisy vehivavy mpitondratena nanangona kitay hazo teo; ary niantso azy Elia ka nanao hoe: Masìna hianao, itondray rano kely amin’ ny fisotroana aho mba hosotroiko.
11 And as she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a piece of bread.”
Ary nony lasa naka ravehivavy, dia miantso azy Elia ka nanao hoe: Masìna ianao, itondray mofo kely koa eny an-tananao aho.
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.”
Fa hoy ravehivavy: Raha velona koa Jehovah Andriamanitrao, tsy manana mofo na dia iray akory aza aho, fa koba kely eran-tànan’ ila ao amin’ ny barika sy diloilo kely foana ao amin’ ny tavoara; ary, he! maka tapa-kazo roa aho izao, ka hiditra hanamboatra ireo hohaninay mianaka, dia ho faty izahay.
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,
Fa hoy Elia taminy: Aza matahotra, fa andeha miditra, ka manaova araka izany lazainao izany; nefa anaovy mofo kely ihany aho aloha, ka ento etỳ amiko, ary rehefa izany, dia vao manaova ho anao sy ny zanakao koa.
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.’”
Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Tsy ho lany ny koba ao amin’ ny barika, ary tsy ho ritra ny diloilo ao amin’ ny tavoara mandra-pihavin’ ny andro handatsahan’ i Jehovah ranonorana amin’ ny tany.
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.
Dia nandeha ravehivavy ka nanao araka ny tenin’ i Elia, ary izy sy ravehivavy mbamin’ ny ankohonany dia nanan-kohanina elaela ihany.
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.
Nefa tsy lany ny koba tao amin’ ny barika, ary tsy ritra ny diloilo tao amin’ ny tavoara, araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay nampilazainy an’ i Elia.
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.
Ary nony afaka izany, dia narary ny zana-dravehivavy tompon-trano, ary mafy indrindra ny aretiny, ka efa tsy nisy fofonaina intsony izy.
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?”
Dia hoy ravehivavy tamin’ i Elia: Moa mifaninona akory izaho sy ianao, ry lehilahin’ Andriamanitra ô? Tonga atỳ amiko va ianao hampahatsiaro ny fahotako ka hahafaty ny zanako?
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.
Ary hoy Elia taminy: Atolory ahy ny zanakao. Dia naka ny zaza teo an-tratran-dreniny izy ka nitondra azy niakatra ho any an-efi-trano ambony izay nitoerany, ary nampandry azy teo am-pandriany.
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?”
Dia nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah izy ka nanao hoe: Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, efa nahatonga loza koa tamin’ ny mpitondratena izay nivahiniako va Hianao ka nahafaty ny zanany?
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!”
Dia niampatra intelo tamin’ ny zaza izy sady nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah hoe: Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, mifona aminao aho, aoka hody aminy indray ny ain’ ity zaza ity.
22 And the LORD listened to the voice of Elijah, and the child’s life returned to him, and he lived.
Ary Jehovah nihaino ny feon’ i Elia, dia nody taminy indray ny ain’ ny zaza, ka dia velona izy.
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.
Ary Elia nandray ny zaza ka nitondra azy nidina avy tao an-efi-trano ambony ho ao anaty trano, dia natolony an-dreniny, ka hoy izy: Inty, fa velona ny zanakao.
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.”
Ary hoy ravehivavy tamin’ i Elia: Ankehitriny izao dia fantatro fa lehilahin’ Andriamanitra tokoa ianao, ary marina ny tenin’ i Jehovah aloaky ny vavanao.
