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.
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 worde of the Lord came vnto him, saying,
Bongo Yawe alobaki na Eliya:
3 Go hence, and turne thee Eastwarde, and hide thy selfe in the riuer Cherith, that is ouer against Iorden,
— Longwa awa, kende na ngambo ya este mpe bombama na lubwaku ya Keriti, na ngambo ya este ya Yordani.
4 And thou shalt drinke of the riuer: and I haue comanded the rauens to feede thee there.
Kuna, okomela mayi ya lubwaku, mpe napesi mitindo epai ya bayanganga mpo ete eleisa yo.
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.
Eliya asalaki ndenge Yawe alobaki na ye: akendeki na lubwaku ya Keriti na ngambo ya este ya Yordani mpe avandaki kuna.
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.
Bayanganga ezalaki komemela ye mapa mpe mbisi na tongo mpe na pokwa, mpe amelaki mayi ya lubwaku.
7 And after a while the riuer dryed vp, because there fell no rayne vpon the earth.
Sima na mwa tango, mayi ya lubwaku ekawukaki mpo ete mvula ezalaki lisusu konoka te na mokili.
8 And the worde of the Lord came vnto him, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Eliya:
9 Vp, and get thee to Zarephath, which is in Zidon, and remaine there: beholde, I haue commanded a widow there to sustaine 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 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.
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 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.
Tango mwasi yango azalaki kokende kozwa mayi, Eliya ayebisaki ye lisusu: — Nabondeli yo, memela ngai mpe lipa.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
Pamba te, tala maloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: « Farine ekozanga te na sani, mpe mafuta ekosila te na mbeki. »
15 So she went, and did as Eliiah sayd, and she did eate: so did he and her house for a certaine time.
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 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.
Farine etikalaki kosila te na sani, mpe mafuta etikalaki kokawuka te na mbeki, kolanda ndenge Yawe alobaki na nzela ya mosakoli Eliya.
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.
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 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?
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 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.
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 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?
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 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.
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 Then the Lord heard the voyce of Eliiah, and the soule of the child came into him againe, and he reuiued.
Yawe ayanolaki libondeli ya Eliya mpe azongisaki pema kati na mwana mobali, bongo mwana yango azongaki lisusu na bomoi.
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.
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 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.
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.
