1 Kings 17
1 And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, "As YHWH, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except by 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 YHWH came to him, saying,
Gospodova beseda je prišla k njemu, rekoč:
3 "Go away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Wadi Cherith, that is near 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 you will drink from the wadi. I have commanded the ravens to feed you there."
Zgodilo se bo, da boš pil iz potoka, krokarjem pa sem zapovedal, da te tam hranijo.«
5 So he went and did according to the word of YHWH; for he went and lived by the Wadi Cherith, that is near 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 meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening. And he drank from the wadi.
Krokarji so mu prinašali kruh in meso zjutraj ter kruh in meso zvečer, pil pa je iz potoka.
7 And it happened after a while that the wadi dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
Čez nekaj časa se je pripetilo, da je potok usahnil, ker v deželi ni bilo dežja.
8 The word of YHWH came to him, saying,
K njemu je prišla beseda od Gospoda, rekoč:
9 "Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Look, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you."
»Vstani, pojdi v Zarepto, ki pripada Sidónu in prebivaj tam. Glej, tamkajšnji vdovi sem zapovedal, da te podpira.«
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."
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 was going to get it, he called to her, and said, "Please bring me a piece of bread in your hand."
Ko je šla, da bi to prinesla, je zaklical k njej in rekel: »Prinesi mi, prosim te, grižljaj kruha v svoji roki.«
12 She said, "As YHWH 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."
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 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.
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 says YHWH, the God of Israel, 'The jar of flour shall not empty, neither shall the jug of oil be empty, until the day that YHWH sends rain on the surface of the land.'"
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 saying of Elijah. And she, and he, and her household, ate for a long time.
Odšla je in storila glede na Elijevo izjavo. Ona, on in njena hiša so jedli mnogo dni.
16 The jar of flour did not empty, neither did the jug of oil become empty, according to the word of YHWH, which he spoke by Elijah.
In sodček z moko ni pošel niti olja v vrču ni zmanjkalo, glede na Gospodovo besedo, ki jo je govoril po Eliju.
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.
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 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."
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 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.
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 He cried to YHWH, and said, "YHWH my God, have you also brought disaster on the widow with whom I sojourn, by killing 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 upon the child three times, and called out to YHWH, and said, "YHWH my God, please let this child's soul come into him again."
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 YHWH listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, 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 room into the house and gave him to his mother. And Elijah said, "See, your son lives."
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 I know that you are a man of God and that the word of YHWH in your mouth is the truth."
Ženska je rekla Eliju: »Po tem sedaj vem, da si Božji mož in da je Gospodova beseda v tvojih ustih resnična.«
