1 Kings 17
1 And Elias the Thesbite of the inhabitants of Galaad said to Achab: As the Lord liveth the God of Israel, in whose sight I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to the words of my mouth.
Eliya, moto ya Tishibe, moko kati na bavandi ya Galadi, alobaki na mokonzi Akabi: — Solo, na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, Nzambe oyo ngai nasalelaka, mamwe mpe mvula ekozala te na mibu oyo ezali koya, longola kaka soki nasengi yango.
2 And the word of the Lord came to him, saying:
Bongo Yawe alobaki na Eliya:
3 Get thee hence, and go towards the east and hide thyself by the torrent of Carith, which is over against the Jordan,
— Longwa awa, kende na ngambo ya este mpe bombama na lubwaku ya Keriti, na ngambo ya este ya Yordani.
4 And there thou shalt drink of the torrent: and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
Kuna, okomela mayi ya lubwaku, mpe napesi mitindo epai ya bayanganga mpo ete eleisa yo.
5 So he went, and did according to the word of the Lord: and going, he dwelt by the torrent Carith, which is over against the Jordan.
Eliya asalaki ndenge Yawe alobaki na ye: akendeki na lubwaku ya Keriti na ngambo ya este ya Yordani mpe avandaki kuna.
6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening, and he drank of tile torrent.
Bayanganga ezalaki komemela ye mapa mpe mbisi na tongo mpe na pokwa, mpe amelaki mayi ya lubwaku.
7 But after some time the torrent was dried up, for it had not rained upon the earth.
Sima na mwa tango, mayi ya lubwaku ekawukaki mpo ete mvula ezalaki lisusu konoka te na mokili.
8 Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying:
Yawe alobaki na Eliya:
9 Arise, and go to Sarephta of the Sidonians, and dwell there: for I have commanded a widow woman there to feed thee.
« Kende na lombangu na Sarepita, kati na mokili ya Sidoni, mpe vanda kuna. Napesi mitindo kuna epai ya mwasi moko oyo akufisa mobali ete apesa yo bilei. »
10 He arose, and went to Sarephta. And when he was come to the gate of the city, he saw the widow woman gathering sticks, and he called her, and said to her: Give me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
Eliya akendeki na Sarepita. Tango akomaki na ekuke ya engumba, mwasi moko oyo akufisa mobali azalaki wana; azalaki kolokota bakoni. Eliya abengaki ye mpe alobaki na ye: — Nabondeli yo, zwela ngai mwa mayi na mbeki mpo ete namela.
11 And when she was going to fetch it he called after her, saying: Bring me also, I beseech thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand.
Tango mwasi yango azalaki kokende kozwa mayi, Eliya ayebisaki ye lisusu: — Nabondeli yo, memela ngai mpe lipa.
12 And she answered: As the Lord thy God liveth, I have no bread, but only a handful of meal in a pot, and a little oil in a cruse: 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.
Mwasi yango azongiselaki ye: — Na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe na yo, nazali na lipa te; nazali kaka na mwa ndambo ya farine na sani mpe ndambo ya mafuta na mbeki. Nazali kolokota mwa koni oyo nakomema na ndako mpo na kolamba bilei ya suka mpo na ngai mpe mpo na mwana na ngai ya mobali. Tango tokosilisa yango, ekotikala na biso kaka kozela kufa.
13 And Elias said to her: Fear not, but go, and do as thou hast said: but first make for me of the same meal a little hearth cake, and bring it to me: and after make for thyself and thy son.
Eliya alobaki na ye: — Kobanga te, zonga na ndako mpe sala ndenge olobi. Kasi salela ngai nanu lipa na oyo ozali na yango mpe memela ngai yango; bongo na sima, okosala mpo na yo mpe mpo na mwana na yo ya mobali.
14 For thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: The pot of meal shall not waste, nor the cruse of oil be diminished, until the day wherein the Lord will give rain upon the face of the earth.
Pamba te, tala maloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: « Farine ekozanga te na sani, mpe mafuta ekosila te na mbeki. »
15 She went and did according to the word of Elias: and he ate, and she, and her house: and from that day
Mwasi yango akendeki mpe asalaki ndenge kaka Eliya alobaki. Boye, na tango molayi, bilei ezangaki te mpo na Eliya, mpo na mwasi oyo akufisa mobali mpe mpo na ndako na ye.
16 The pot of meal wasted not, and the cruse of oil was not diminished, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke in the hand of Elias.
Farine etikalaki kosila te na sani, mpe mafuta etikalaki kokawuka te na mbeki, kolanda ndenge Yawe alobaki na nzela ya mosakoli Eliya.
17 And it came to pass after this that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick, and the sickness was very grievous, so that there was no breath left in him.
Sima na mwa tango, mwana mobali ya mwasi oyo akufisa mobali, nkolo ndako, abelaki; mpe pasi na ye ekomaki makasi penza kino akataki motema.
18 And she said to Elias: What have I to do with thee, thou man of God? art thou come to me that my iniquities should be remembered, and that thou shouldst kill my son?
Mwasi yango alobaki na Eliya: — Moto na Nzambe, nasali yo nini? Boni, oyaki na ndako na ngai mpo na kokundola lisumu na ngai mpe kobomisa mwana na ngai ya mobali?
19 And Elias said to her: Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him into the upper chamber where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.
Eliya azongisaki: — Pesa ngai mwana na yo ya mobali. Eliya azwaki mwana yango na maboko ya mwasi oyo akufisa mobali, amemaki ye na shambre ya likolo epai wapi azalaka kovanda mpe alalisaki ye na mbeto na ye;
20 And he cried to the Lord, and said: O Lord my God, hast thou afflicted also the widow, with whom I am after a so maintained, so as to kill her son?
abelelaki Yawe na maloba oyo: — Oh Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, mpo na nini koyeisa lisusu pasi na bomoi ya mwasi oyo akufisa mobali, na koboma mwana na ye ya mobali; nzokande ayambaki ngai epai na ye?
21 And he stretched, and measured himself upon the child three times, and cried to the Lord, and said: O Lord my God, let the soul of this child, I beseech thee, return into his body.
Sima, amitandaki mbala misato likolo ya mwana mobali mpe abelelaki Yawe na maloba oyo: — Oh Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, tika ete pema ya mwana mobali oyo ezonga kati na ye.
22 And the Lord heard the voice of Elias: and the soul of the child returned into him, and he revived.
Yawe ayanolaki libondeli ya Eliya mpe azongisaki pema kati na mwana mobali, bongo mwana yango azongaki lisusu na bomoi.
23 And Elias took the child, and brought him down from the upper chamber to the house below, and delivered him to his mother, and said to her: Behold thy son liveth.
Eliya azwaki mwana mpe akitisaki ye wuta na shambre ya likolo kino kati na ndako. Apesaki mwana epai ya mama na ye mpe alobaki: — Tala mwana na yo ya mobali, azali na bomoi.
24 And the woman said to Elias: Now, by this I know that thou art a man of God, and the word of the Lord in thy mouth is true.
Mwasi yango alobaki na Eliya: — Nasosoli sik’oyo ete ozali solo moto na Nzambe; mpe Liloba na Yawe, oyo ebimaka na monoko na yo ezali penza solo.
