< 1 Kings 17 >

1 And Eliiah the Tishbite one of the inhabitats of Gilead sayde vnto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liueth, before whom I stand, there shall be neither dewe nor rayne these yeeres, but according to my worde.
وَقَالَ إِيلِيَّا التَّشْبِيُّ مِنْ أَهْلِ جِلْعَادَ لأَخْآبَ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِي أَخْدُمُهُ، إِنَّهُ لَنْ يَهْطِلَ نَدىً وَلا مَطَرٌ فِي هَذِهِ السِّنِينَ، إِلّا حِينَ أُعْلِنُ ذَلِكَ».١
2 And the worde of the Lord came vnto him, saying,
وَأَمَرَ الرَّبُّ إِيلِيَّا:٢
3 Go hence, and turne thee Eastwarde, and hide thy selfe in the riuer Cherith, that is ouer against Iorden,
«امْضِ مِنْ هُنَا وَاتَّجِهْ نَحْوَ الْمَشْرِقِ، وَاخْتَبِئْ عِنْدَ نَهْرِ كَرِيثَ الْمُقَابِلِ لِنَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ،٣
4 And thou shalt drinke of the riuer: and I haue comanded the rauens to feede thee there.
فَتَشْرَبَ مِنْ مِيَاهِهِ وَتَقْتَاتَ مِمَّا تُحْضِرُهُ لَكَ الْغِرْبَانُ الَّتِي أَمَرْتُهَا أَنْ تَعُولَكَ هُنَاكَ».٤
5 So he went and did according vnto the word of the Lord: for he went, and remained by the riuer Cherith that is ouer against Iorden.
فَانْطَلَقَ وَنَفَّذَ أَمْرَ الرَّبِّ، وَأَقَامَ عِنْدَ نَهْرِ كَرِيثَ مُقَابِلَ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ،٥
6 And the rauens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the euening, and he dranke of the riuer.
فَكَانَتِ الْغِرْبَانُ تُحْضِرُ إِلَيْهِ الْخُبْزَ وَاللَّحْمَ صَبَاحاً وَمَسَاءً، وَكَانَ يَشْرَبُ مِنْ مَاءِ النَّهْرِ.٦
7 And after a while the riuer dryed vp, because there fell no rayne vpon the earth.
وَمَا لَبِثَ أَنْ جَفَّ النَّهْرُ بَعْدَ زَمَنٍ، لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَهْطِلْ مَطَرٌ عَلَى الأَرْضِ.٧
8 And the worde of the Lord came vnto him, saying,
فَخَاطَبَ الرَّبُّ إِيلِيَّا:٨
9 Vp, and get thee to Zarephath, which is in Zidon, and remaine there: beholde, I haue commanded a widow there to sustaine thee.
«قُمْ وَتَوَجَّهْ إِلَى صِرْفَةَ التَّابِعَةِ لِصِيدُونَ، وَامْكُثْ هُنَاكَ، فَقَدْ أَمَرْتُ هُنَاكَ أَرْمَلَةً أَنْ تَتَكَفَّلَ بِإِعَالَتِكَ».٩
10 So he arose, and went to Zarephath: and when he came to the gate of the citie, beholde, the widowe was there gathering stickes: and he called her, and sayde, Bring me, I pray thee, a litle water in a vessel, that I may drinke.
فَذَهَبَ إِلَى صِرْفَةَ. وَعِنْدَمَا وَصَلَ إِلَى بَوَّابَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ شَاهَدَ امْرَأَةً تَجْمَعُ حَطَباً، فَقَالَ لَهَا: «هَاتِي لِي بَعْضَ الْمَاءِ فِي إِنَاءٍ لأَشْرَبَ».١٠
11 And as she was going to fet it, he called to her, and sayde, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsell of bread in thine hand.
وَفِيمَا هِيَ ذَاهِبَةٌ لِتُحْضِرَهُ نَادَاهَا ثَانِيَةً وَقَالَ: «هَاتِي لِي كِسْرَةَ خُبْزٍ مَعَكِ».١١
12 And shee sayde, As the Lord thy God liueth, I haue not a cake, but euen an handfull of meale in a barrel, and a litle oyle in a cruse: and behold, I am gathering a fewe stickes for to go in, and dresse it for me and my sonne, that we may eate it, and dye.
فَأَجَابَتْهُ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَدَيَّ كَعْكَةٌ، إِنَّمَا حَفْنَةُ دَقِيقٍ فِي الْجَرَّةِ، وَقَلِيلٌ مِنَ الزَّيْتِ فِي قَارُورَةٍ. وَهَا أَنَا أَجْمَعُ بَعْضَ عِيدَانِ الْحَطَبِ لِآخُذَهَا وَأُعِدَّ لِي ولاِبْنِي طَعَاماً نَأْكُلُهُ ثُمَّ نَمُوتُ».١٢
13 And Eliiah said vnto her, Feare not, come, do as thou hast sayd, but make me thereof a litle cake first of all, and bring it vnto mee, and afterward make for thee, and thy sonne.
فَقَالَ لَهَا إِيلِيَّا: «لا تَخَافِي. امْضِي وَاصْنَعِي كَمَا قُلْتِ، وَلَكِنْ أَعِدِّي لِي مِنْهُ كَعْكَةً صَغِيرَةً أَوَّلاً وَأَحْضِرِيهَا لِي، ثُمَّ اعْمَلِي لَكِ ولاِبْنِكِ أَخِيراً،١٣
14 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The meale in the barrel shall not be wasted, neither shall the oyle in the cruse be diminished, vnto the time that the Lord send rayne vpon the earth.
لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: إِنَّ جَرَّةَ الدَّقِيقِ لَنْ تَفْرُغَ، وَقَارُورَةَ الزَّيْتِ لَنْ تَنْقُصَ، إِلَى الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي يُرْسِلُ فِيهِ الرَّبُّ مَطَراً عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ».١٤
15 So she went, and did as Eliiah sayd, and she did eate: so did he and her house for a certaine time.
فَرَاحَتْ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهَا وَنَفَّذَتْ كَلامَ إِيلِيَّا، فَتَوَافَرَ لَهَا طَعَامٌ لِتَأْكُلَ هِيَ وَابْنُهَا وَإِيلِيَّا لِمُدَّةٍ طَوِيلَةٍ.١٥
16 The barrell of the meale wasted not, nor the oyle was spent out of the cruse, according to the worde of the Lord, which he spake by the hand of Eliiah.
جَرَّةُ الدَّقِيقِ لَمْ تَفْرُغْ، وَقَارُورَةُ الزَّيْتِ لَمْ تَنْقُصْ، تَمَاماً كَمَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى لِسَانِ إِيلِيَّا.١٦
17 And after these things, the sonne of the wife of the house fell sicke, and his sicknesse was so sore, that there was no breath left in him.
وَحَدَثَ بَعْدَ زَمَنٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ الْمَرْأَةِ صَاحِبَةِ الْبَيْتِ اشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ الْمَرَضُ، وَمَاتَ،١٧
18 And she said vnto Eliiah, What haue I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come vnto me to call my sinne to remembrance, and to slay my sonne?
فَقَالَتْ لإِيِليَّا: «أَيُّ ذَنْبٍ جَنَيْتُهُ بِحَقِّكَ يَا رَجُلَ اللهِ؟ هَلْ جِئْتَ إِليَّ لِتُذَكِّرَنِي بِإِثْمِي وَتُمِيتَ ابْنِي؟»١٨
19 And he said vnto her, Giue me thy sonne. and he tooke him out of her bosome, and caryed him vp into a chamber, where he abode, and laid him vpon his owne bed.
فَقَالَ لَهَا: «أَعْطِينِي ابْنَكِ». وَأَخَذَهُ مِنْهَا وَصَعِدَ بِهِ إِلَى الْعُلِّيَّةِ الَّتِي كَانَ مُقِيماً فِيهَا وَأَضْجَعَهُ عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ،١٩
20 Then he called vnto the Lord, and sayde, O Lord my God, hast thou punished also this widowe, with whome I soiourne, by killing her sonne?
وَاسْتَغَاثَ بِالرَّبِّ مُتَضَرِّعاً: «أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهِي، أَإِلَى الأَرْمَلَةِ الَّتِي أَنَا نَازِلٌ عِنْدَهَا تُسِيءُ أَيْضاً وَتُمِيتُ ابْنَهَا؟»٢٠
21 And he stretched himselfe vpon the childe three times, and called vnto the Lord, and saide, O Lord my God, I pray thee, let this childes soule come into him againe.
ثُمَّ تَمَدَّدَ إِيلِيَّا عَلَى جُثَّةِ الْوَلَدِ ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَابْتَهَلَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ: «يَا رَبُّ إِلَهِي، أَرْجِعْ نَفْسَ هَذَا الْوَلَدِ إِلَيْهِ».٢١
22 Then the Lord heard the voyce of Eliiah, and the soule of the child came into him againe, and he reuiued.
فَاسْتَجَابَ الرَّبُّ دُعَاءَ إِيلِيَّا، وَرَجَعَتْ نَفْسُ الْوَلَدِ إِلَيْهِ فَعَاشَ.٢٢
23 And Eliiah tooke the childe, and brought him downe out of the chamber into the house, and deliuered him vnto his mother, and Eliiah sayd, Behold, thy sonne liueth.
فَأَخَذَ إِيلِيَّا الْوَلَدَ وَنَزَلَ بِهِ مِنَ الْعُلِّيَّةِ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ، وَسَلَّمَهُ إِلَى أُمِّهِ، وَقَالَ لَهَا: «انْظُرِي، إِنَّ ابْنَكِ حَيٌّ»٢٣
24 And the woman saide vnto Eliiah, Now I knowe that thou art a man of God, and that the worde of the Lord in thy mouth is true.
فَقَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ لإِيلِيَّا: «الآنَ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ رَجُلُ اللهِ، وَأَنَّ اللهَ يَنْطِقُ عَلَى لِسَانِكَ بِالْحَقِّ».٢٤
