1 Kings 17
1 And Elijah the Tishbite, of Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, By the living Lord, the God of Israel, whose servant I am, there will be no dew or rain in these years, but only at my word.
Tišbéjec Elija, ki je bil izmed prebivalcev Gileáda, je rekel Ahábu: » Kakor živi Gospod, Izraelov Bog, pred katerim stojim, tukaj ta leta ne bo niti rose niti dežja, razen glede na mojo besedo.«
2 Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying,
Gospodova beseda je prišla k njemu, rekoč:
3 Go from here in the direction of the east, and keep yourself in a secret place by the stream Cherith, east of Jordan.
»Pojdi od tod in se obrni proti vzhodu in se skrij pri potoku Kerítu, ki je pred Jordanom.
4 The water of the stream will be your drink, and by my orders the ravens will give you food there.
Zgodilo se bo, da boš pil iz potoka, krokarjem pa sem zapovedal, da te tam hranijo.«
5 So he went and did as the Lord said, living by the stream Cherith, east of Jordan.
Tako je odšel in storil glede na Gospodovo besedo, kajti odšel je in prebival pri potoku Kerítu, ki je pred Jordanom.
6 And the ravens took him bread in the morning and meat in the evening; and the water of the stream was his drink.
Krokarji so mu prinašali kruh in meso zjutraj ter kruh in meso zvečer, pil pa je iz potoka.
7 Now after a time the stream became dry, because there was no rain in the land.
Čez nekaj časa se je pripetilo, da je potok usahnil, ker v deželi ni bilo dežja.
8 Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying,
K njemu je prišla beseda od Gospoda, rekoč:
9 Up! go now to Zarephath, in Zidon, and make your living-place there; I have given orders to a widow woman there to see that you have food.
»Vstani, pojdi v Zarepto, ki pripada Sidónu in prebivaj tam. Glej, tamkajšnji vdovi sem zapovedal, da te podpira.«
10 So he got up and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the door of the town, he saw a widow woman getting sticks together; and crying out to her he said, Will you give me a little water in a vessel for my drink?
Tako je vstal in odšel v Zarepto. Ko je prišel k velikim vratom mesta, glej, je bila tam ženska vdova, ki je nabirala veje. Zaklical je k njej ter ji rekel: »Prinesi mi, prosim te, malo vode v posodi, da lahko pijem.«
11 And when she was going to get it, he said to her, And get me with it a small bit of bread.
Ko je šla, da bi to prinesla, je zaklical k njej in rekel: »Prinesi mi, prosim te, grižljaj kruha v svoji roki.«
12 Then she said, By the life of the Lord your God, I have nothing but a little meal in my store, and a drop of oil in the bottle; and now I am getting two sticks together so that I may go in and make it ready for me and my son, so that we may have a meal before our death.
Rekla je: » Kakor Gospod, tvoj Bog, živi, nimam kolača, temveč prgišče moke v sodčku in malo olja v vrču in glej, nabiram dve palici, da lahko grem in to pripravim zase in za svojega sina, da bova to lahko pojedla in umrla.«
13 And Elijah said to her, Have no fear; go and do as you have said, but first make me a little cake of it and come and give it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son.
Elija ji je rekel: »Ne boj se. Pojdi in stôri, kakor si rekla. Toda od tega najprej meni naredi majhen kolač in mi ga prinesi, potem pa naredi zase in za svojega sina.
14 For this is the word of the Lord, the God of Israel: The store of meal will not come to an end, and the bottle will never be without oil, till the day when the Lord sends rain on the earth.
Kajti tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Sodček z moko ne bo pošel niti v vrču ne bo zmanjkalo olja do dneva, ko Gospod pošlje dež na zemljo.‹«
15 So she went and did as Elijah said; and she and he and her family had food for a long time.
Odšla je in storila glede na Elijevo izjavo. Ona, on in njena hiša so jedli mnogo dni.
16 The store of meal did not come to an end, and the bottle was never without oil, as the Lord had said by the mouth of Elijah.
In sodček z moko ni pošel niti olja v vrču ni zmanjkalo, glede na Gospodovo besedo, ki jo je govoril po Eliju.
17 Now after this, the son of the woman of the house became ill, so ill that there was no breath in him.
Po teh stvareh se je pripetilo, da se je sin ženske, gospodarice hiše, počutil bolnega, in njegova slabost je bila tako huda, da v njem ni ostalo nobenega diha.
18 And she said to Elijah, What have I to do with you, O man of God? have you come to put God in mind of my sin, and to put my son to death?
Eliju je rekla: »Kaj imam s teboj, oh ti Božji mož? Ali si prišel k meni, da mi prikličeš moj greh v spomin in da ubiješ mojega sina?«
19 And he said to her, Give your son to me. And lifting him out of her arms, he took him up to his room and put him down on his bed.
Rekel ji je: »Daj mi svojega sina.« Vzel ga je iz njenega naročja in ga odnesel gor na podstrešje, kjer je prebival in ga položil na svojo lastno posteljo.
20 And crying to the Lord he said, O Lord my God, have you sent evil even on the widow whose guest I am, by causing her son's death?
Klical je h Gospodu in rekel: »Oh Gospod, moj Bog, mar si zlo privedel tudi nad to vdovo, pri kateri se mudim, s pokončanjem njenega sina?«
21 And stretching herself out on the child three times, he made his prayer to the Lord, saying, O Lord my God, be pleased to let this child's life come back to him again.
Trikrat se je raztegnil nad otrokom, klical h Gospodu in rekel: »Oh Gospod, moj Bog, prosim te, naj se duša tega otroka ponovno vrne vanj.«
22 And the Lord gave ear to the voice of Elijah, and the child's spirit came into him again, and he came back to life.
Gospod je uslišal Elijev glas in otrokova duša se je ponovno vrnila vanj in je oživel.
23 And Elijah took the child down from his room into the house and gave him to his mother and said to her, See, your son is living.
Elija je vzel otroka, ga privedel dol iz sobe v hišo in ga izročil njegovi materi. Elija je rekel: »Poglej, tvoj sin živi.«
24 Then the woman said to Elijah, Now I am certain that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is true.
Ženska je rekla Eliju: »Po tem sedaj vem, da si Božji mož in da je Gospodova beseda v tvojih ustih resnična.«
