1 Kings 17
1 Then said Elijah the Tishbite, of Tishbe in Gilead, unto Ahab, By the life of Yahweh, God of Israel, before whom I stand, there shall not, these two years, be either dew or rain, —save at the bidding of my word.
Elijah ará Tiṣibi láti Tiṣbi ní Gileadi wí fún Ahabu pé, “Bí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli ti wà, ẹni tí èmi ń sìn, kì yóò sí ìrì tàbí òjò ní ọdún díẹ̀ tí ń bọ̀ bí kò ṣe nípa ọ̀rọ̀ mi.”
2 Then came the word of Yahweh unto him, saying:
Nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ Elijah wá pé,
3 Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, —and hide thyself in the ravine of Cherith, which faceth the Jordan;
“Kúrò níhìn-ín, kọjú sí ìhà ìlà-oòrùn, kí o sì fi ara rẹ pamọ́ níbi odò Keriti, tí ń bẹ níwájú Jordani.
4 and it shall be that, of the torrent, shalt thou drink, —and, the ravens, have I commanded to sustain thee, there.
Ìwọ yóò mu nínú odò náà, mo sì ti pàṣẹ fún àwọn ẹyẹ ìwò láti máa bọ́ ọ níbẹ̀.”
5 So he went and did, according to the word of Yahweh, —yea he went and dwelt in the ravine of Cherith, which faceth the Jordan.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti sọ fún un. Ó sì lọ sí ẹ̀bá odò Keriti, tí ń bẹ níwájú Jordani, ó sì dúró síbẹ̀.
6 And, the ravens, used to bring him bread and flesh, in the morning, and bread and flesh, in the evening, —and, of the torrent, used he to drink.
Àwọn ẹyẹ ìwò sì mú àkàrà àti ẹran wá fún un ní òwúrọ̀, àti àkàrà àti ẹran ní alẹ́, ó sì ń mu nínú odò náà.
7 But it came to pass, at the end of [certain] days, that the torrent dried up, —because there had been no rain in the land.
Ó sì ṣe lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ díẹ̀, odò náà sì gbẹ nítorí kò sí òjò ní ilẹ̀ náà.
8 Then came the word of Yahweh unto him, saying—
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ̀ ọ́ wá wí pé,
9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there, —Lo! I have commanded, there, a widow woman, to sustain thee.
“Lọ nísinsin yìí sí Sarefati ti Sidoni, kí o sì dúró síbẹ̀. Èmi ti pàṣẹ fún obìnrin opó kan níbẹ̀ láti máa bọ́ ọ.”
10 So he arose and went to Zarephath, and, when he came to the entrance of the city, lo! there, a widow woman gathering sticks, —and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì lọ sí Sarefati. Nígbà tí ó sì dé ibodè ìlú náà, obìnrin opó kan ń ṣa igi jọ níbẹ̀. Ó sì ké sí i, ó sì béèrè pé, “Ǹjẹ́ o lè bu omi díẹ̀ fún mi wá nínú ohun èlò kí èmi kí ó lè mu?”
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.
Bí ó sì ti ń lọ bù ú wá, ó ké sí i pé, “Jọ̀ ọ́, mú òkèlè oúnjẹ díẹ̀ fún mi wá lọ́wọ́ rẹ.”
12 And she said—By the life of Yahweh, thy God, verily I have not a cake, only a handful of meal in the jar, and a little oil in the cruse, —and lo! I have been gathering a couple of sticks, so I shall go in and make it ready for me and for my son, that we may eat it—and die!
Obìnrin opó náà sì dá a lóhùn wí pé, “Bí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ ti wà, èmi kò ní àkàrà, bí kò ṣe ìkúnwọ́ ìyẹ̀fun nínú ìkòkò àti òróró díẹ̀ nínú kólòbó. Èmi ń ṣa igi díẹ̀ jọ láti kó lọ ilé, kí èmi kí ó sì pèsè rẹ̀ fún mi àti fún ọmọ mi, kí àwa lè jẹ ẹ́: kí a sì kú.”
13 And Elijah said unto her—Do not fear, go in—make ready according to thy word, —howbeit, make me thereof a little cake, first, and bring it out to me, and, for thyself and thy son, make ready, afterwards.
Elijah sì wí fún un pé, “Má ṣe bẹ̀rù. Lọ, kí o sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí o ti wí. Ṣùgbọ́n kọ́kọ́ ṣe àkàrà kékeré kan fún mi nínú rẹ̀ ná, kí o sì mú fún mi wá, lẹ́yìn náà, kí o ṣe tìrẹ àti ti ọmọ rẹ.
14 For, thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, The jar of meal, shall not waste, and, the cruse of oil, shall not fail, —until the day that Yahweh giveth rain upon the face of the ground.
Nítorí báyìí ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí: ‘Ìkòkò ìyẹ̀fun náà kì yóò ṣófo, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kólòbó òróró náà kì yóò gbẹ, títí di ọjọ́ tí Olúwa yóò rọ òjò sí orí ilẹ̀.’”
15 So she went and made ready, according to the word of Elijah, —and did eat, she, and he, and her house, [certain] days:
Ó sì lọ, ó sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí Elijah ti sọ fún un. Oúnjẹ sì wà fún Elijah àti obìnrin náà àti ilé rẹ̀ ní ojoojúmọ́.
16 The jar of meal, did not waste, —and, the cruse of oil, did not fail, —according to the word of Yahweh, which he spake through Elijah.
Nítorí ìkòkò ìyẹ̀fun náà kò ṣófo, kólòbó òróró náà kò gbẹ, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí ó ti ipa Elijah sọ.
17 And it came to pass, after these things, that the son of the woman, owner of the house, fell sick, —yea it came to pass that his sickness was very severe, until no, breath, was left in him.
Ó sì ṣe lẹ́yìn nǹkan wọ̀nyí, ọmọ obìnrin tí ó ni ilé náà ṣe àìsàn, àìsàn náà sì le tó bẹ́ẹ̀, tí ó fi kú.
18 Then said she unto Elijah, What have I in common with thee, O man of God? Hast thou come unto me, to call to remembrance mine iniquity, and to cause the death of my son?
Obìnrin náà sì wí fún Elijah pé, “Kí lo ní sí mi, ènìyàn Ọlọ́run? Ìwọ ha tọ̀ mí wá láti mú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi wá sí ìrántí, àti láti pa mí ní ọmọ?”
19 And he said unto her—Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him unto the upper room, where, he, was staying, and laid him upon his own bed.
Elijah sì wí fún un pé, “Gbé ọmọ rẹ fún mi.” Ó sì yọ ọ́ jáde ní àyà rẹ̀, ó sì gbé e lọ sí iyàrá òkè ilé níbi tí òun ń gbé, ó sì tẹ́ ẹ sí orí ibùsùn tirẹ̀.
20 Then cried he unto Yahweh, and said, —O Yahweh, my God! Even upon the widow with whom I am sojourning, hast thou brought misfortune by causing the death of her son?
Nígbà náà ni ó sì ké pe Olúwa wí pé, “Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi, ìwọ ha mú ibi wá bá opó náà pẹ̀lú lọ́dọ̀ ẹni tí èmi ń ṣe àtìpó, nípa pípa ọmọ rẹ̀?”
21 And he stretched himself out upon the boy, three times, and cried unto Yahweh, and said, —O Yahweh, my God! Let the life of this boy, I pray thee, come again within him.
Nígbà náà ni ó sì na ara rẹ̀ lórí ọmọdé náà ní ẹ̀ẹ̀mẹta, ó sì ké pe Olúwa pé, “Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi, jẹ́ kí ẹ̀mí ọmọdé yìí kí ó tún padà tọ̀ ọ́ wá!”
22 And Yahweh hearkened unto the voice of Elijah, —and the life of the boy came again within him, and he lived.
Olúwa sì gbọ́ igbe Elijah, ẹ̀mí ọmọdé náà sì tún padà tọ̀ ọ́ wá, ó sì sọjí.
23 Then Elijah took the boy, and carried him down out of the upper room, into the house, and gave him to his mother, —and Elijah said, See! thy son liveth.
Elijah sì mú ọmọdé náà, ó sì gbé e sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti inú yàrá òkè náà wá sínú ilé. Ó sì fi lé ìyá rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́; Elijah sì wí pé, “Wò ó, ọmọ rẹ yè!”
24 And the woman said unto Elijah, Now, then I know, that, a man of God, thou art, —and that, the word of Yahweh, is in thy mouth, of a truth.
Obìnrin náà sì wí fún Elijah pé, “Nísinsin yìí mo mọ̀ pé ènìyàn Ọlọ́run ni ìwọ ń ṣe, àti pé òtítọ́ ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ní ẹnu rẹ.”
