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.
Tišbéjec Elija, ki je bil izmed prebivalcev Gileáda, je rekel Ahábu: » Kakor živi Gospod, Izraelov Bog, pred katerim stojim, tukaj ta leta ne bo niti rose niti dežja, razen glede na mojo besedo.«
2 And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying,
Gospodova beseda je prišla k njemu, rekoč:
3 Go away from here, and turn thyself eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Kerith, which is to the east of the Jordan.
»Pojdi od tod in se obrni proti vzhodu in se skrij pri potoku Kerítu, ki je pred Jordanom.
4 And it shall be, that out of the brook shalt thou drink; and the ravens have I ordained to sustain thee there.
Zgodilo se bo, da boš pil iz potoka, krokarjem pa sem zapovedal, da te tam hranijo.«
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.
Tako je odšel in storil glede na Gospodovo besedo, kajti odšel je in prebival pri potoku Kerítu, ki je pred Jordanom.
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.
Krokarji so mu prinašali kruh in meso zjutraj ter kruh in meso zvečer, pil pa je iz potoka.
7 And it came to pass after a while that the brook dried up; because there had been no rain in the land.
Čez nekaj časa se je pripetilo, da je potok usahnil, ker v deželi ni bilo dežja.
8 And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying,
K njemu je prišla beseda od Gospoda, rekoč:
9 Arise, go unto Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and remain there: behold, I have ordained there a widow-woman to sustain thee.
»Vstani, pojdi v Zarepto, ki pripada Sidónu in prebivaj tam. Glej, tamkajšnji vdovi sem zapovedal, da te podpira.«
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.
Tako je vstal in odšel v Zarepto. Ko je prišel k velikim vratom mesta, glej, je bila tam ženska vdova, ki je nabirala veje. Zaklical je k njej ter ji rekel: »Prinesi mi, prosim te, malo vode v posodi, da lahko 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.
Ko je šla, da bi to prinesla, je zaklical k njej in rekel: »Prinesi mi, prosim te, grižljaj kruha v svoji roki.«
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.
Rekla je: » Kakor Gospod, tvoj Bog, živi, nimam kolača, temveč prgišče moke v sodčku in malo olja v vrču in glej, nabiram dve palici, da lahko grem in to pripravim zase in za svojega sina, da bova to lahko pojedla in umrla.«
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.
Elija ji je rekel: »Ne boj se. Pojdi in stôri, kakor si rekla. Toda od tega najprej meni naredi majhen kolač in mi ga prinesi, potem pa naredi zase in za svojega 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.
Kajti tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Sodček z moko ne bo pošel niti v vrču ne bo zmanjkalo olja do dneva, ko Gospod pošlje dež na zemljo.‹«
15 And she went and did according to the word of Elijah: and she, and he, and her household, did eat [many] days.
Odšla je in storila glede na Elijevo izjavo. Ona, on in njena hiša so jedli mnogo dni.
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.
In sodček z moko ni pošel niti olja v vrču ni zmanjkalo, glede na Gospodovo besedo, ki jo je govoril po Eliju.
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.
Po teh stvareh se je pripetilo, da se je sin ženske, gospodarice hiše, počutil bolnega, in njegova slabost je bila tako huda, da v njem ni ostalo nobenega diha.
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!
Eliju je rekla: »Kaj imam s teboj, oh ti Božji mož? Ali si prišel k meni, da mi prikličeš moj greh v spomin in da ubiješ mojega 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.
Rekel ji je: »Daj mi svojega sina.« Vzel ga je iz njenega naročja in ga odnesel gor na podstrešje, kjer je prebival in ga položil na svojo lastno posteljo.
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?
Klical je h Gospodu in rekel: »Oh Gospod, moj Bog, mar si zlo privedel tudi nad to vdovo, pri kateri se mudim, s pokončanjem njenega 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.
Trikrat se je raztegnil nad otrokom, klical h Gospodu in rekel: »Oh Gospod, moj Bog, prosim te, naj se duša tega otroka ponovno vrne vanj.«
22 And the Lord listened to the voice of Elijah: and the soul of the child returned into him, and he revived.
Gospod je uslišal Elijev glas in otrokova duša se je ponovno vrnila vanj in je oživel.
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.
Elija je vzel otroka, ga privedel dol iz sobe v hišo in ga izročil njegovi materi. Elija je rekel: »Poglej, 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.
Ženska je rekla Eliju: »Po tem sedaj vem, da si Božji mož in da je Gospodova beseda v tvojih ustih resnična.«
