1 Kings 17
1 Elijah was [a prophet] who lived in Tishbe [town] in [the] Gilead [region]. One day he [went to] King Ahab and said to him, “Yahweh is the God whom we Israelis [worship] and the God whom I worship and serve. Just as certainly as Yahweh lives, there will be no dew or rain for the next few years, if I do not command rain to fall!”
Kinuna ni Elias a taga-Tisbe a masakupan ti Galaad, kenni Ahab, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon a Dios ti Israel, a pagserserbiak, awanto ti linnaaw wenno tudo kadagitoy a tawtawen malaksid no ibagak nga umadda.”
2 Then Yahweh said to Elijah,
Immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Elias a kunana,
3 “[Because you have made the king angry with you, escape from the king and, ] go to the east, to the Kerith Brook, east of where it flows into the Jordan [River].
“Pumanawka ditoy ket mapanka iti daya; aglemmengka iti waig ti Kerit nga adda iti daya ti Jordan.
4 You will be able to drink water from the brook, and [you will be able to eat what] the crows [bring to you, because] I have commanded them to bring food to you.”
Uminomkanto iti danum iti waig ket binilinkon dagiti uwak a pakanendakanto sadiay.
5 So Elijah did what Yahweh commanded him to do. He went and camped alongside Kerith Brook.
Napan ngarud ni Elias ket inaramidna ti kas iti sao nga imbilin ni Yahweh. Napan nagnaed isuna idiay igid ti waig ti Kerit, nga adda iti daya ti Jordan.
6 Crows bought bread and meat to him every morning and every evening, and he drank [water] from the brook.
Nangyeg dagiti uwak kenkuana iti tinapay ken karne iti agsapa ken iti rabii, ket imminum isuna iti waig.
7 But after a while, the water in the brook dried up, because rain did not fall anywhere in the land.
Ngem saan a nagbayag, natianan ti waig gapu ta saan a nagtudtudo iti daga.
8 Then Yahweh said to Elijah,
Immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenkuana a kinunana,
9 “Go and live in Zarephath [village], near Sidon [city]. There is a widow there who will give you food to eat. I have [already] told her what to do about that.”
“Agrubwatka, mapanka idiay Sarefat a masakupan ti Sidon, ket agnaedka sadiay. Dumngegka, binilinko ti maysa a balo a babai sadiay a mangisabetto iti kasapulam.”
10 So [Elijah did what God said]. He went to Zarephath. As he arrived at the gates of the village, he saw a widow who was gathering sticks. He said to her, “Would you please bring me a cup of water?”
Nagrubuat ngarud isuna ket napan idiay Sarefat ket idi makadanon iti pagserkan ti siudad, adda maysa a balo a babai sadiay a mangaykayo. Isu nga immawag isuna kenkuana ket kinunana, “Pangngaasim ta iyegannak iti bassit a danum tapno uminomak.”
11 While she was going to get it, he called out to her, “Bring me a piece of bread, too!”
Bayat a mapmapan ti balo tapno mangala iti danum, immawag ni Elias kenkuana ket kinunana, “Pangngaasim ta iyegannak iti maysa a tinapay.”
12 But she replied, “Your God knows that what I am telling you is true: I do not have even one piece of bread in my house. I have only a handful of flour in a jar, and a little [olive] oil in a jug. I was gathering a few sticks to use these to [make a fire and] cook one more meal, and then after my son and I eat that, we will die [from hunger].”
Simmungbat ti balo, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh a Diosmo nga adda iti agnanayon, awan ti tinapayko, ngem adda sangarakem laeng nga arina iti burnay ken sangkabassit a lana iti garapon. Kitaem, mangal-alaak iti dua a kayo a pagsungrod tapno panglutok iti daytoy nga agpaay kaniak ken iti anakko a lalaki, tapno makapangankami ket kalpasanna, mataykami.”
13 But Elijah said to her, “Do not be worried! Go home and do what you said that you were going to do. But first, bake me a little loaf of bread and bring it to me. After you do that, take what is left and prepare some food for you and your son.
Kinuna ni Elias kenkuana, “Saanka nga agdanag. Mapanka ket aramidem ti imbagam, ngem iyaramidannak nga umuna iti sangkabassit a tinapay ket iyegmo kaniak. Ket kalpasanna, agaramidka iti para kenka ken iti anakmo.
14 [I know that you will be able to do that, ] because Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says this: ‘There will always be plenty of flour and [olive] oil left in your containers, until the time when I send rain again [and the crops grow again]!’”
Ta kuna ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, 'Saanto a maibusan ti burnay ti arina, ket saan pay nga agsardeng ti panagayus ti garapon ti lana, agingga iti aldaw a mangipatulod ni Yahweh iti tudo iti daga.”
15 So the woman did exactly what Elijah told her to do. And she and her son and Elijah had enough food every day,
Isu nga inaramidna ti imbaga ni Elias kenkuana, ket isuna ken ti anakna agraman ni Elias, adda umanay a taraonda iti adu nga aldaw.
16 because the flour in the jar was never finished, and the jug of oil was never empty. That happened just like Yahweh had told Elijah that it would happen.
Saan a naibusan ti burnay ti arina, ken saan a naibusan ti garapon iti lana, kas iti imbaga ti sao ni Yahweh, nga imbagana babaen kenni Elias.
17 Some time later, the woman’s son became sick. He continued to get worse, and finally he died.
Kalpasan dagidiay a banbanag, nagsakit ti anak ti balo nga akin-kukua iti balay. Nakaro unay ti sakitna nga uray la awanen ti anges a nabati kenkuana.
18 So the woman went to Elijah and said to him, “You are a prophet; so why have you done this to me? Have you come here to punish me for my sins by causing my son to die?”
Isu a kinuna ti balo kenni Elias, “Ania ti basolko kenka, tao ti Dios? Immayka kadi kaniak tapno ipalagipmo dagiti basolko ken patayem ti anakko?”
19 But Elijah replied, “Give your son to me.” So she gave her son to him, and he took the boy’s [body] from her and carried it up [the steps] to the room where he stayed. He laid the boy’s [body] on his bed.
Ket simmungbat ni Elias iti balo, “Itedmo kaniak ti anakmo.” Innala ni Elias ti ubing kadagiti takiag ti balo ket binagkatna nga impan iti akin-ngato a siled a pagturturoganna, ket impaidanna ti ubing iti pagiddaanna.
20 Then Elijah cried out to Yahweh, “O Yahweh my God, this widow [has kindly allowed] me to stay in her home. So why have you brought this tragedy to her and caused her son to die?” [RHQ]
Immasug isuna kenni Yahweh ket kinunana, “O Yahweh a Diosko, nangyegka met kadi iti didigra iti balo a pakipagnanaedak, babaen iti panangpataymo iti anakna?”
21 Then Elijah stretched himself on top of the boy’s [body] and called out to Yahweh saying, “Yahweh my God, please allow this boy to become alive again!” He did this three times.
Ket namitlo a nagpakleb ni Elias iti bagi ti ubing; immasug isuna kenni Yahweh ket kinunana, “O Yahweh a Diosko, agpakaasiak kenka, pangngaasim ta isublim koma ti biag daytoy nga ubing.”
22 Yahweh heard what Elijah prayed, and [he caused] the boy [to] become alive again [DOU].
Impangag ni Yahweh ti timek ni Elias; naisubli ti biag ti ubing ket nagbiag ti ubing.
23 Elijah carried the boy down [the steps] and gave him to his mother. He said, “Look, your son is alive!”
Inruar ni Elias ti ubing iti kuartona sana inyulog ket intedna iti inana, ket kinunana, “Adtoy, sibibiag ti anakmo.”
24 The woman said to Elijah, “Now I know [for certain] that you are a prophet and that the words that you speak are truly from Yahweh!”
Kinuna ti babai kenni Elias, “Ita, ammokon a taonaka ti Dios, ken ti sao ni Yahweh iti ngiwatmo ket pudno.”
