1 Kings 17
1 And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, As Jehovah the God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except by 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 And the word of Jehovah came to him saying,
Gospodova beseda je prišla k njemu, rekoč:
3 Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the torrent Cherith, which is before the Jordan.
»Pojdi od tod in se obrni proti vzhodu in se skrij pri potoku Kerítu, ki je pred Jordanom.
4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the torrent; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
Zgodilo se bo, da boš pil iz potoka, krokarjem pa sem zapovedal, da te tam hranijo.«
5 And he went and did according to the word of Jehovah; he went and abode by the torrent Cherith, which is before the 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 brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the torrent.
Krokarji so mu prinašali kruh in meso zjutraj ter kruh in meso zvečer, pil pa je iz potoka.
7 And it came to pass after a while that the torrent dried up, for there had been no rain in the land.
Čez nekaj časa se je pripetilo, da je potok usahnil, ker v deželi ni bilo dežja.
8 And the word of Jehovah came to him saying,
K njemu je prišla beseda od Gospoda, rekoč:
9 Arise, go to Zarephath, which is by Zidon, and abide there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to maintain thee.
»Vstani, pojdi v Zarepto, ki pripada Sidónu in prebivaj tam. Glej, tamkajšnji vdovi sem zapovedal, da te podpira.«
10 And he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the entrance of the city, behold, a widow woman was there gathering sticks. And he called to her and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may 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 she went to fetch [it], and he called to her and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand.
Ko je šla, da bi to prinesla, je zaklical k njej in rekel: »Prinesi mi, prosim te, grižljaj kruha v svoji roki.«
12 And she said, As Jehovah thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but a handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse; and behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
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, Fear not; go, do as thou hast said; but make me thereof a little cake first; and bring it to me; and afterwards make for thee and for thy 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 thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: The meal in the barrel shall not waste, neither shall the oil in the cruse fail, until the day that Jehovah sendeth rain upon the face of 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 And she went and did according to the word of Elijah; and she, and he, and her house, ate a whole year.
Odšla je in storila glede na Elijevo izjavo. Ona, on in njena hiša so jedli mnogo dni.
16 The meal in the barrel did not waste, neither did the oil in the cruse fail, according to the word of Jehovah which he had spoken through Elijah.
In sodček z moko ni pošel niti olja v vrču ni zmanjkalo, glede na Gospodovo besedo, ki jo je govoril po Eliju.
17 And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so severe that there was no breath left 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 thee, O thou man of God? art thou come to me to call mine iniquity to remembrance, and to slay my son?
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 me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the upper chamber where he abode, and laid him upon his own 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 he cried to Jehovah and said, Jehovah, my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?
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 he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried to Jehovah and said, Jehovah, my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into 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 Jehovah heard the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the child came into him again, and he lived.
Gospod je uslišal Elijev glas in otrokova duša se je ponovno vrnila vanj in je oživel.
23 And Elijah took the child, and brought him down from the upper chamber into the house, and delivered him to his mother; and Elijah said, See, thy son lives.
Elija je vzel otroka, ga privedel dol iz sobe v hišo in ga izročil njegovi materi. Elija je rekel: »Poglej, tvoj sin živi.«
24 And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of Jehovah in thy mouth is truth.
Ženska je rekla Eliju: »Po tem sedaj vem, da si Božji mož in da je Gospodova beseda v tvojih ustih resnična.«
