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!”
Sinabihan ni Elias na taga-Tisbe sa Galaad si Ahab, “Habang si Yahweh, na Diyos ng Israel na aking kinakatawan, ay totoong buhay, hindi magkakaroon ng hamog o kaya ulan sa mga susunod na taon hanggang hindi ko sinasabi.”
2 Then Yahweh said to Elijah,
Ang mensahe ng Diyos ay dumating kay Elias, na nagsasabing,
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].
“Lisanin mo ang lugar na ito at pumunta ka pasilangan; magtago ka sa batis ng Kerit sa silangan ng 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.”
Mangyayari na iinom ka sa tubig mula sa batis at inutusan ko ang mga uwak na pakainin ka doon.
5 So Elijah did what Yahweh commanded him to do. He went and camped alongside Kerith Brook.
Kaya umalis si Elias at ginawa ang inutos ni Yahweh. Pumunta siya para mamuhay sa batis ng Kerit sa silangan ng Jordan.
6 Crows bought bread and meat to him every morning and every evening, and he drank [water] from the brook.
Dinalhan siya ng mga uwak ng tinapay at karne sa umaga at sa gabi, at uminom siya mula sa batis.
7 But after a while, the water in the brook dried up, because rain did not fall anywhere in the land.
Pero hindi katagalan natuyo ang batis dahil hindi umuulan sa lupain.
8 Then Yahweh said to Elijah,
Dumating ang mensahe ng Diyos sa kaniya na nagsasabing,
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.”
“Bumangon ka, pumunta ka sa Sarepta na sakop ng Sidon, at doon ka manahan. Tingnan mo, inutusan ko ang isang balo para alagaan ka.
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?”
Kaya bumangon siya at pumunta sa Sarepta, at nang makarating siya sa tarangkahan ng lungsod isang balo ang namumulot ng mga kahoy. Kaya tinawag niya ito at sinabi, “Pakidalhan mo naman ako ng kaunting tubig na nasa banga para maka-inom ako.”
11 While she was going to get it, he called out to her, “Bring me a piece of bread, too!”
Habang siya ay papunta para kumuha ng tubig tinawag siya ni Elias at sinabi, “Pahingi naman ng tinapay na nasa kamay mo.”
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].”
Sumagot siya, “Si Yahweh na iyong Diyos ay buhay, wala na akong tinapay, maliban na lang sa isang dakot ng harina at kaunting mantika sa lalagyan. Tingnan mo, namulot ako ng dalawang kahoy para lutuin ito para sa akin at sa anak ko, para kami makakain, at mamatay.”
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.
Sinabi ni Elias sa kaniya, “Huwag kang matakot. Pumunta ka at gawin ang sinabi mo pero magluto ka muna ng maliit na tinapay at dalhin mo sa akin. At pagkatapos magluto ka na ng para sa inyo ng anak mo.
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]!’”
Dahil sinabi ni Yahweh, na Diyos ng Israel, “Hindi mauubusan ng laman ang banga ng harina, maging ang lalagyan ng mantika ay hindi hihinto sa pagdaloy, hanggang sa magpadala si Yahweh ng ulan sa buong lupain.”
15 So the woman did exactly what Elijah told her to do. And she and her son and Elijah had enough food every day,
Pagkatapos, ginawa niya ang sinabi ni Elias, at siya, si Elias at ang bata ay kumain nang maraming araw.
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.
Hindi naubos ang harina sa banga maging ang mantika sa lalagyan ay hindi huminto sa pagdaloy, na siyang sinabi ni Yahweh sa pamamagitan ni Elias.
17 Some time later, the woman’s son became sick. He continued to get worse, and finally he died.
Pagkatapos ng mga pangyayaring ito, nagkasakit ang lalaking anak ng babae, ang babaeng may-ari ng bahay. Napakalubha ng kaniyang karamdaman na kaniyang ikinamatay.
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?”
Kaya sinabi ng kaniyang ina, “Ano ba ang dinala mo laban sa akin, lingkod ng Diyos? Pumunta ka ba rito para ipaalala ang aking kasalanan at patayin ang aking anak?”
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.
Pagkatapos sinabi sa kaniya ni Elias, “Ibigay mo sa akin ang iyong anak.” Kinuha ni Elias ang kaniyang anak at dinala sa taas ng bahay kung saan siya namamalagi, at inilapag ang bata sa higaan.
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]
Tumawag siya kay Yahweh, “Yahweh aking Diyos, nagdala ka rin ba ng kapahamakan sa balo na aking tinutuluyan, at pinatay mo ang kaniyang anak?”
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.
At inunat ni Elias nang tatlong beses ang kaniyang sarili sa bata; tumawag siya kay Yahweh at sinabi, “Yahweh na aking Diyos, nagmamaka-awa ako sa iyo, ibalik mo ang buhay ng batang ito.”
22 Yahweh heard what Elijah prayed, and [he caused] the boy [to] become alive again [DOU].
Pinakinggan ni Yahweh ang tinig ni Elias; ang hininga ng bata ay bumalik sa kanya, at siya ay nabuhay muli.
23 Elijah carried the boy down [the steps] and gave him to his mother. He said, “Look, your son is alive!”
Kinuha niya ang bata at binaba sa bahay mula sa silidat sinabi, “Tingnan mo, buhay ang iyong anak.”
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!”
Sumagot ang babae kay Elias, “Alam ko na ngayon na ikaw ay lingkod ng Diyos, at ang salita ni Yahweh mula sa iyong bibig ay totoo.”
