1 Kings 17
1 And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, says to Ahab, “YHWH, God of Israel, lives, before whom I have stood, there is not dew and rain these years, 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 YHWH is to him, saying,
Upućena mu je riječ Jahvina ovako:
3 “Go from this [place]; and you have turned for yourself eastward, and been hidden by the Brook of Cherith that [is] on the front of the Jordan,
“Idi odavde i kreni na istok i sakrij se na potoku Keritu, koji je nasuprot Jordanu.
4 and it has been [that] you drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to sustain you there.”
Pit ćeš iz potoka, a gavranima sam zapovjedio da te ondje hrane.”
5 And he goes and does according to the word of YHWH, indeed, he goes and dwells by the Brook of Cherith, that [is] on the front of the Jordan,
Ode on i učini po riječi Jahvinoj i nastani se na potoku Keritu, nasuprot Jordanu.
6 and the ravens are bringing bread and flesh to him in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening, and he drinks from the brook.
Gavrani su mu jutrom donosili kruha, a večerom mesa; iz potoka je pio.
7 And it comes to pass, at the end of [the] days, that the brook dries up, for there has been no rain in the land,
Ali poslije nekog vremena presuši potok, jer nije bilo kiše u svoj zemlji.
8 and the word of YHWH is to him, saying,
Tada Iliji dođe riječ Jahvina:
9 “Rise, go to Zarephath, that [belongs] to Sidon, and you have dwelt there; behold, I have commanded a widow woman to sustain you there.”
“Ustani, idi u Sarfatu Sidonsku i ondje ostani. Evo, ondje sam zapovjedio jednoj udovici da te hrani.”
10 And he rises, and goes to Zarephath, and comes to the opening of the city, and behold, there [is] a widow woman gathering sticks, and he calls to her and says, “Please bring a little water to me in a vessel, and I 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 she goes to bring [it], and he calls to her and says, “Please bring a morsel of bread to me in your hand.”
Kad je pošla da donese, on viknu za njom i reče joj: “Donesi mi i malo kruha u ruci!”
12 And she says, “Your God YHWH lives, I do not have a cake, but the fullness of the hand of meal in a pitcher, and a little oil in a dish; and behold, I am gathering two sticks, and have gone in and prepared it for myself, and for my son, and we have eaten it—and died.”
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 says to her, “Do not fear, go, do according to your word, only make a little cake for me there, in the first place, and you have brought [it] out to me; and for you and for your son make [it] last;
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 said YHWH, God of Israel: The pitcher of meal is not consumed, and the dish of oil is not lacking, until the day of YHWH’s giving a shower on the face of the ground.”
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 goes, and does according to the word of Elijah, and she eats, she and he and her household [for many] days;
Ode ona i učini kako je rekao Ilija; i za mnoge dane imadoše jela, ona, on i njen sin.
16 the pitcher of meal was not consumed, and the dish of oil did not lack, according to the word of YHWH that He spoke by the hand 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 comes to pass, after these things, the son of the woman, mistress of the house, has been sick, and his sickness is very severe until no breath has been 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 says to Elijah, “What [is this] to me and to you, O man of God? You have come to me to cause my iniquity to be remembered, and to put my son to death!”
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 says to her, “Give your son to me”; and he takes him out of her bosom, and takes him up to the upper chamber where he is abiding, and lays him on 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 cries to YHWH and says, “My God YHWH, have You also brought calamity on the widow with whom I am sojourning, to put her son to death?”
Tada zavapi Jahvi i reče: “Jahve, Bože moj, zar zaista želiš udovicu koja me ugostila uvaliti u tugu umorivši joj sina?”
21 And he stretches himself out on the boy three times, and calls to YHWH and says, “O YHWH my God, please let the soul of this boy return into his midst”;
Zatim se tri puta pružio nad dječakom zazivajući Jahvu: “Jahve, Bože, učini da se u ovo dijete vrati duša njegova!”
22 and YHWH listens to the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the boy turns back into his midst, and he lives.
Jahve je uslišio molbu Ilijinu, u dijete se vratila duša i ono oživje.
23 And Elijah takes the boy, and brings him down from the upper chamber of the house, and gives him to his mother, and Elijah says, “See, your son lives!”
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 says to Elijah, “Now [by] this I have known that you [are] a man of God, and the word of YHWH in your mouth [is] truth.”
Žena mu reče: “Sada znam da si ti čovjek Božji i da je riječ Jahvina u tvojim ustima istinita!”
