1 Kings 17
1 Then said Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gil'ad, unto Achab, As the Lord the God of Israel liveth, before whom I have stood, there shall not be in these years dew or rain, except according to my word.
Ilija Tišbijac, iz Tišbe Gileadske, reče Ahabu: “Živoga mi Jahve, Boga Izraelova, komu služim, neće ovih godina biti ni rose ni kiše, osim na moju zapovijed.”
2 And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying,
Upućena mu je riječ Jahvina ovako:
3 Go away from here, and turn thyself eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Kerith, which is to the east of the Jordan.
“Idi odavde i kreni na istok i sakrij se na potoku Keritu, koji je nasuprot Jordanu.
4 And it shall be, that out of the brook shalt thou drink; and the ravens have I ordained to sustain thee there.
Pit ćeš iz potoka, a gavranima sam zapovjedio da te ondje hrane.”
5 And he went and did according to the word of the Lord; and he went and remained by the brook Kerith, that is to the east of the Jordan.
Ode on i učini po riječi Jahvinoj i nastani se na potoku Keritu, nasuprot Jordanu.
6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening: and out of the brook he used to drink.
Gavrani su mu jutrom donosili kruha, a večerom mesa; iz potoka je pio.
7 And it came to pass after a while that the brook dried up; because there had been no rain in the land.
Ali poslije nekog vremena presuši potok, jer nije bilo kiše u svoj zemlji.
8 And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying,
Tada Iliji dođe riječ Jahvina:
9 Arise, go unto Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and remain there: behold, I have ordained there a widow-woman to sustain thee.
“Ustani, idi u Sarfatu Sidonsku i ondje ostani. Evo, ondje sam zapovjedio jednoj udovici da te hrani.”
10 So he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, there was there a widow-woman gathering sticks of wood: and he called her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
Ustade on i krenu u Sarfatu. Kada je stigao do gradskih vrata, neka je udovica onuda skupljala drva; on joj se obrati i reče: “Donesi mi malo vode u vrču da pijem!”
11 And as she went to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand.
Kad je pošla da donese, on viknu za njom i reče joj: “Donesi mi i malo kruha u ruci!”
12 And she said, As the Lord thy God liveth, I have nothing baked, but a handful of meal in a jar, and a little oil in a cruise: and, behold, I am gathering a couple of sticks, that I may go in and prepare it for me and my son; and when we have eaten it, we shall have to die.
Ona odgovori: “Živoga mi Jahve, tvoga Boga, ja nemam pečena kruha, nemam do pregršti brašna u ćupu i malo ulja u vrču. I evo kupim drva, pa ću otići i ono pripremiti sebi i svome sinu da pojedemo i da umremo.”
13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said; but make me thereof a little cake at first, and bring it out unto me, and for thee and for thy son shalt thou prepare [something] afterward.
Ali joj Ilija reče: “Ništa se ne boj. Idi i uradi kako si rekla; samo najprije umijesi meni kolačić, pa mi donesi; a onda zgotovi za sebe i za svoga sina.
14 For thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, The jar of meal shall not fail, neither shall the cruise of oil diminish, until the day that the Lord giveth rain upon the face of the earth.
Jer ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'U ćupu neće brašna nestati ni vrč se s uljem neće isprazniti sve dokle Jahve ne pusti da kiša padne na zemlju.'”
15 And she went and did according to the word of Elijah: and she, and he, and her household, did eat [many] days.
Ode ona i učini kako je rekao Ilija; i za mnoge dane imadoše jela, ona, on i njen sin.
16 The jar of meal failed not, nor did the cruise of oil diminish, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken through means of Elijah.
Brašno se iz ćupa nije potrošilo i u vrču nije nestalo ulja, po riječi koju je Jahve rekao preko svoga sluge Ilije.
17 And it came to pass after these events, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness became very severe, until that at length there was no breath left in him.
Poslije ovih događaja razbolio se sin domaćičin i bolest se njegova jako pogoršala, tako te u njemu nije ostalo daha.
18 And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O man of God? thou art come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son!
Tada ona reče Iliji: “Što ja imam s tobom, čovječe Božji? Zar si došao k meni da me podsjetiš na moj grijeh i da mi usmrtiš sina!”
19 And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the upper chamber, in which he abode, and he laid him upon his own bed.
On joj reče: “Daj mi svoga sina!” Tada ga uze iz njezina naručja, odnese ga u gornju sobu gdje je stanovao i položi ga na svoju postelju.
20 And he called unto the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?
Tada zavapi Jahvi i reče: “Jahve, Bože moj, zar zaista želiš udovicu koja me ugostila uvaliti u tugu umorivši joj sina?”
21 And he stretched himself out over the child three times, and called unto the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, let, I pray thee, the soul of this child return again within him.
Zatim se tri puta pružio nad dječakom zazivajući Jahvu: “Jahve, Bože, učini da se u ovo dijete vrati duša njegova!”
22 And the Lord listened to the voice of Elijah: and the soul of the child returned into him, and he revived.
Jahve je uslišio molbu Ilijinu, u dijete se vratila duša i ono oživje.
23 And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the upper chamber into the house, and gave him unto his mother; and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth.
Ilija ga uze, siđe iz gornje sobe u kuću i dade ga njegovoj materi; i reče Ilija: “Evo, tvoj sin živi!”
24 And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this do I know, that thou art a man of God, and the word of the Lord in thy mouth is truth.
Žena mu reče: “Sada znam da si ti čovjek Božji i da je riječ Jahvina u tvojim ustima istinita!”
