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!”
Sinabihan ni Elias na taga-Tisbe sa Galaad si Ahab, “Habang si Yahweh, na Diyos ng Israel na aking kinakatawan, ay totoong buhay, hindi magkakaroon ng hamog o kaya ulan sa mga susunod na taon hanggang hindi ko sinasabi.”
2 Then a revelation from the LORD came to Elijah:
Ang mensahe ng Diyos ay dumating kay Elias, na nagsasabing,
3 “Leave here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.
“Lisanin mo ang lugar na ito at pumunta ka pasilangan; magtago ka sa batis ng Kerit sa silangan ng Jordan.
4 And you are to drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
Mangyayari na iinom ka sa tubig mula sa batis at inutusan ko ang mga uwak na pakainin ka doon.
5 So Elijah did what the LORD had told him, and he went and lived by the Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.
Kaya umalis si Elias at ginawa ang inutos ni Yahweh. Pumunta siya para mamuhay sa batis ng Kerit sa silangan ng Jordan.
6 The ravens would bring him bread and meat in the morning and evening, and he would drink from the brook.
Dinalhan siya ng mga uwak ng tinapay at karne sa umaga at sa gabi, at uminom siya mula sa batis.
7 Some time later, however, the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land.
Pero hindi katagalan natuyo ang batis dahil hindi umuulan sa lupain.
8 Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah:
Dumating ang mensahe ng Diyos sa kaniya na nagsasabing,
9 “Get up and go to Zarephath of Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.”
“Bumangon ka, pumunta ka sa Sarepta na sakop ng Sidon, at doon ka manahan. Tingnan mo, inutusan ko ang isang balo para alagaan ka.
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.”
Kaya bumangon siya at pumunta sa Sarepta, at nang makarating siya sa tarangkahan ng lungsod isang balo ang namumulot ng mga kahoy. Kaya tinawag niya ito at sinabi, “Pakidalhan mo naman ako ng kaunting tubig na nasa banga para maka-inom ako.”
11 And as she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a piece of bread.”
Habang siya ay papunta para kumuha ng tubig tinawag siya ni Elias at sinabi, “Pahingi naman ng tinapay na nasa kamay mo.”
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.”
Sumagot siya, “Si Yahweh na iyong Diyos ay buhay, wala na akong tinapay, maliban na lang sa isang dakot ng harina at kaunting mantika sa lalagyan. Tingnan mo, namulot ako ng dalawang kahoy para lutuin ito para sa akin at sa anak ko, para kami makakain, at mamatay.”
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,
Sinabi ni Elias sa kaniya, “Huwag kang matakot. Pumunta ka at gawin ang sinabi mo pero magluto ka muna ng maliit na tinapay at dalhin mo sa akin. At pagkatapos magluto ka na ng para sa inyo ng anak mo.
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.’”
Dahil sinabi ni Yahweh, na Diyos ng Israel, “Hindi mauubusan ng laman ang banga ng harina, maging ang lalagyan ng mantika ay hindi hihinto sa pagdaloy, hanggang sa magpadala si Yahweh ng ulan sa buong lupain.”
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.
Pagkatapos, ginawa niya ang sinabi ni Elias, at siya, si Elias at ang bata ay kumain nang maraming araw.
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.
Hindi naubos ang harina sa banga maging ang mantika sa lalagyan ay hindi huminto sa pagdaloy, na siyang sinabi ni Yahweh sa pamamagitan ni Elias.
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.
Pagkatapos ng mga pangyayaring ito, nagkasakit ang lalaking anak ng babae, ang babaeng may-ari ng bahay. Napakalubha ng kaniyang karamdaman na kaniyang ikinamatay.
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?”
Kaya sinabi ng kaniyang ina, “Ano ba ang dinala mo laban sa akin, lingkod ng Diyos? Pumunta ka ba rito para ipaalala ang aking kasalanan at patayin ang aking anak?”
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.
Pagkatapos sinabi sa kaniya ni Elias, “Ibigay mo sa akin ang iyong anak.” Kinuha ni Elias ang kaniyang anak at dinala sa taas ng bahay kung saan siya namamalagi, at inilapag ang bata sa higaan.
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?”
Tumawag siya kay Yahweh, “Yahweh aking Diyos, nagdala ka rin ba ng kapahamakan sa balo na aking tinutuluyan, at pinatay mo ang kaniyang anak?”
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!”
At inunat ni Elias nang tatlong beses ang kaniyang sarili sa bata; tumawag siya kay Yahweh at sinabi, “Yahweh na aking Diyos, nagmamaka-awa ako sa iyo, ibalik mo ang buhay ng batang ito.”
22 And the LORD listened to the voice of Elijah, and the child’s life returned to him, and he lived.
Pinakinggan ni Yahweh ang tinig ni Elias; ang hininga ng bata ay bumalik sa kanya, at siya ay nabuhay muli.
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.
Kinuha niya ang bata at binaba sa bahay mula sa silidat sinabi, “Tingnan mo, buhay ang iyong anak.”
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.”
Sumagot ang babae kay Elias, “Alam ko na ngayon na ikaw ay lingkod ng Diyos, at ang salita ni Yahweh mula sa iyong bibig ay totoo.”
