1 Kings 17
1 And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, "As Jehovah, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except by my word."
Ary Elia Tisbita, isan’ ny nivahiny tany Gileada, nilaza tamin’ i Ahaba hoe: Raha velona koa Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, Izay itsanganako eo anatrehany, dia tsy hisy ando na ranonorana akory amin’ izao taona izao, raha tsy araka ny teniko ihany.
2 And the word of Jehovah came to him, saying,
Ary ny tenin’ i Jehovah tonga taminy nanao hoe:
3 "Go away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Wadi Cherith, that is near the Jordan.
Mialà eto ianao, dia miantsinanàna ka miere any anilan’ ny renirano Kerita, izay any atsinanan’ i Jordana.
4 And it shall be that you will drink from the wadi. I have commanded the ravens to feed you there."
Koa ny renirano no hisotroanao, ary ny goaika efa nodidiako hamelona anao any.
5 So he went and did according to the word of Jehovah; for he went and lived by the Wadi Cherith, that is near the Jordan.
Dia lasa izy ka nanao araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah; fa nandeha izy ka nititra teo anilan’ ny renirano Kerita any atsinanan’ i Jordana.
6 And the ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening. And he drank from the wadi.
Ary ny goaika nitondra mofo sy hena ho azy isa-maraina ary mofo sy hena isan-kariva, ary ny rano tamin’ ny renirano no nisotroany.
7 And it happened after a while that the wadi dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
Ary nony ela, dia ritra ny renirano noho ny tsi-fisian’ ny ranonorana tamin’ ny tany.
8 The word of Jehovah came to him, saying,
Ary ny tenin’ i Jehovah tonga taminy ka nanao hoe:
9 "Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Look, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you."
Miaingà ka mankanesa any Zarefata, izay naman’ i Sidona, ary mitoera any; fa, indro, misy vehivavy mpitondratena any izay notendreko hamelona anao.
10 So he got up and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, look, a widow was there gathering wood. And he called to her, and said, "Please bring me a little water in a pitcher, that I may drink."
Dia niainga izy ka nankany Zarefata. Ary nony mby teo am-bavahadin’ ny tanàna izy, dia, indro, nisy vehivavy mpitondratena nanangona kitay hazo teo; ary niantso azy Elia ka nanao hoe: Masìna hianao, itondray rano kely amin’ ny fisotroana aho mba hosotroiko.
11 And as she was going to get it, he called to her, and said, "Please bring me a piece of bread in your hand."
Ary nony lasa naka ravehivavy, dia miantso azy Elia ka nanao hoe: Masìna ianao, itondray mofo kely koa eny an-tananao aho.
12 She said, "As Jehovah your God lives, I do not have anything baked, except a handful of flour in a jar, and a little oil in a jug. Look, I am gathering a couple of sticks, that I may go in and bake it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die."
Fa hoy ravehivavy: Raha velona koa Jehovah Andriamanitrao, tsy manana mofo na dia iray akory aza aho, fa koba kely eran-tànan’ ila ao amin’ ny barika sy diloilo kely foana ao amin’ ny tavoara; ary, he! maka tapa-kazo roa aho izao, ka hiditra hanamboatra ireo hohaninay mianaka, dia ho faty izahay.
13 And Elijah said to her, "Do not be afraid. Go and do as you have said. But make me of it a little cake first, and bring it out to me, and afterward make some for yourself and for your son.
Fa hoy Elia taminy: Aza matahotra, fa andeha miditra, ka manaova araka izany lazainao izany; nefa anaovy mofo kely ihany aho aloha, ka ento etỳ amiko, ary rehefa izany, dia vao manaova ho anao sy ny zanakao koa.
14 For thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, 'The jar of flour shall not empty, neither shall the jug of oil be empty, until the day that Jehovah sends rain on the surface of the land.'"
Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Tsy ho lany ny koba ao amin’ ny barika, ary tsy ho ritra ny diloilo ao amin’ ny tavoara mandra-pihavin’ ny andro handatsahan’ i Jehovah ranonorana amin’ ny tany.
15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah. And she, and he, and her household, ate for a long time.
Dia nandeha ravehivavy ka nanao araka ny tenin’ i Elia, ary izy sy ravehivavy mbamin’ ny ankohonany dia nanan-kohanina elaela ihany.
16 The jar of flour did not empty, neither did the jug of oil become empty, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke by Elijah.
Nefa tsy lany ny koba tao amin’ ny barika, ary tsy ritra ny diloilo tao amin’ ny tavoara, araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay nampilazainy an’ i Elia.
17 It happened after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick. And his illness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.
Ary nony afaka izany, dia narary ny zana-dravehivavy tompon-trano, ary mafy indrindra ny aretiny, ka efa tsy nisy fofonaina intsony izy.
18 And she said to Elijah, "What do we have in common, O man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to memory, and to kill my son."
Dia hoy ravehivavy tamin’ i Elia: Moa mifaninona akory izaho sy ianao, ry lehilahin’ Andriamanitra ô? Tonga atỳ amiko va ianao hampahatsiaro ny fahotako ka hahafaty ny zanako?
19 And he said to her, "Give me your son." And he took him out of her lap and carried him up into the room where he stayed, and laid him on his own bed.
Ary hoy Elia taminy: Atolory ahy ny zanakao. Dia naka ny zaza teo an-tratran-dreniny izy ka nitondra azy niakatra ho any an-efi-trano ambony izay nitoerany, ary nampandry azy teo am-pandriany.
20 He cried to Jehovah, and said, "Jehovah my God, have you also brought disaster on the widow with whom I sojourn, by killing her son?"
Dia nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah izy ka nanao hoe: Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, efa nahatonga loza koa tamin’ ny mpitondratena izay nivahiniako va Hianao ka nahafaty ny zanany?
21 And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and called out to Jehovah, and said, "Jehovah my God, please let this child's soul come into him again."
Dia niampatra intelo tamin’ ny zaza izy sady nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah hoe: Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, mifona aminao aho, aoka hody aminy indray ny ain’ ity zaza ity.
22 Jehovah listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
Ary Jehovah nihaino ny feon’ i Elia, dia nody taminy indray ny ain’ ny zaza, ka dia velona izy.
23 And Elijah took the child and brought him down out of the room into the house and gave him to his mother. And Elijah said, "See, your son lives."
Ary Elia nandray ny zaza ka nitondra azy nidina avy tao an-efi-trano ambony ho ao anaty trano, dia natolony an-dreniny, ka hoy izy: Inty, fa velona ny zanakao.
24 And the woman said to Elijah, "Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of Jehovah in your mouth is the truth."
Ary hoy ravehivavy tamin’ i Elia: Ankehitriny izao dia fantatro fa lehilahin’ Andriamanitra tokoa ianao, ary marina ny tenin’ i Jehovah aloaky ny vavanao.
