< 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.
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 And the word of the Lord came to him, saying:
Ang mensahe ng Diyos ay dumating kay Elias, na nagsasabing,
3 Get thee hence, and go towards the east and hide thyself by the torrent of Carith, which is over against the Jordan,
“Lisanin mo ang lugar na ito at pumunta ka pasilangan; magtago ka sa batis ng Kerit sa silangan ng Jordan.
4 And there thou shalt drink of the torrent: and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
Mangyayari na iinom ka sa tubig mula sa batis at inutusan ko ang mga uwak na pakainin ka doon.
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.
Kaya umalis si Elias at ginawa ang inutos ni Yahweh. Pumunta siya para mamuhay sa batis ng Kerit sa silangan ng Jordan.
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.
Dinalhan siya ng mga uwak ng tinapay at karne sa umaga at sa gabi, at uminom siya mula sa batis.
7 But after some time the torrent was dried up, for it had not rained upon the earth.
Pero hindi katagalan natuyo ang batis dahil hindi umuulan sa lupain.
8 Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying:
Dumating ang mensahe ng Diyos sa kaniya na nagsasabing,
9 Arise, and go to Sarephta of the Sidonians, and dwell there: for I have commanded a widow woman there to feed thee.
“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 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.
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 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.
Habang siya ay papunta para kumuha ng tubig tinawag siya ni Elias at sinabi, “Pahingi naman ng tinapay na nasa kamay mo.”
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 She went and did according to the word of Elias: and he ate, and she, and her house: and from that day
Pagkatapos, ginawa niya ang sinabi ni Elias, at siya, si Elias at ang bata ay kumain nang maraming araw.
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.
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 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.
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 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?
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 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.
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 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?
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 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.
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 heard the voice of Elias: and the soul of the child returned into him, and he revived.
Pinakinggan ni Yahweh ang tinig ni Elias; ang hininga ng bata ay bumalik sa kanya, at siya ay nabuhay muli.
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.
Kinuha niya ang bata at binaba sa bahay mula sa silidat sinabi, “Tingnan mo, buhay ang iyong anak.”
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.
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.”
