1 Kings 17
1 Elijah the Tishbite, who was one of the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.”
Ilija Tišbijac, iz Tišbe Gileadske, reče Ahabu: “Živoga mi Jahve, Boga Izraelova, komu služim, neće ovih godina biti ni rose ni kiše, osim na moju zapovijed.”
2 Then Yahweh’s word came to him, saying,
Upućena mu je riječ Jahvina ovako:
3 “Go away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.
“Idi odavde i kreni na istok i sakrij se na potoku Keritu, koji je nasuprot Jordanu.
4 You shall drink from the brook. I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
Pit ćeš iz potoka, a gavranima sam zapovjedio da te ondje hrane.”
5 So he went and did according to Yahweh’s word, for he went and lived by the brook Cherith that is before the Jordan.
Ode on i učini po riječi Jahvinoj i nastani se na potoku Keritu, nasuprot Jordanu.
6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook.
Gavrani su mu jutrom donosili kruha, a večerom mesa; iz potoka je pio.
7 After a while, the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
Ali poslije nekog vremena presuši potok, jer nije bilo kiše u svoj zemlji.
8 Yahweh’s word came to him, saying,
Tada Iliji dođe riječ Jahvina:
9 “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.”
“Ustani, idi u Sarfatu Sidonsku i ondje ostani. Evo, ondje sam zapovjedio jednoj udovici da te hrani.”
10 So he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and said, “Please get me a little water in a jar, that I may drink.”
Ustade on i krenu u Sarfatu. Kada je stigao do gradskih vrata, neka je udovica onuda skupljala drva; on joj se obrati i reče: “Donesi mi malo vode u vrču da pijem!”
11 As she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.”
Kad je pošla da donese, on viknu za njom i reče joj: “Donesi mi i malo kruha u ruci!”
12 She said, “As Yahweh your God lives, I don’t have anything baked, but only a handful of meal in a jar and a little oil in a jar. Behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and bake it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.”
Ona odgovori: “Živoga mi Jahve, tvoga Boga, ja nemam pečena kruha, nemam do pregršti brašna u ćupu i malo ulja u vrču. I evo kupim drva, pa ću otići i ono pripremiti sebi i svome sinu da pojedemo i da umremo.”
13 Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go and do as you have said; but make me a little cake from it first, and bring it out to me, and afterward make some for you and for your son.
Ali joj Ilija reče: “Ništa se ne boj. Idi i uradi kako si rekla; samo najprije umijesi meni kolačić, pa mi donesi; a onda zgotovi za sebe i za svoga sina.
14 For Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘The jar of meal will not run out, and the jar of oil will not fail, until the day that Yahweh sends rain on the earth.’”
Jer ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'U ćupu neće brašna nestati ni vrč se s uljem neće isprazniti sve dokle Jahve ne pusti da kiša padne na zemlju.'”
15 She went and did according to the saying of Elijah; and she, he, and her household ate many days.
Ode ona i učini kako je rekao Ilija; i za mnoge dane imadoše jela, ona, on i njen sin.
16 The jar of meal didn’t run out and the jar of oil didn’t fail, according to Yahweh’s word, which he spoke by Elijah.
Brašno se iz ćupa nije potrošilo i u vrču nije nestalo ulja, po riječi koju je Jahve rekao preko svoga sluge Ilije.
17 After these things, the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became sick; and his sickness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.
Poslije ovih događaja razbolio se sin domaćičin i bolest se njegova jako pogoršala, tako te u njemu nije ostalo daha.
18 She said to Elijah, “What have I to do with you, you man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to memory, and to kill my son!”
Tada ona reče Iliji: “Što ja imam s tobom, čovječe Božji? Zar si došao k meni da me podsjetiš na moj grijeh i da mi usmrtiš sina!”
19 He said to her, “Give me your son.” He took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the room where he stayed, and laid him on his own bed.
On joj reče: “Daj mi svoga sina!” Tada ga uze iz njezina naručja, odnese ga u gornju sobu gdje je stanovao i položi ga na svoju postelju.
20 He cried to Yahweh and said, “Yahweh my God, have you also brought evil on the widow with whom I am staying, by killing her son?”
Tada zavapi Jahvi i reče: “Jahve, Bože moj, zar zaista želiš udovicu koja me ugostila uvaliti u tugu umorivši joj sina?”
21 He stretched himself on the child three times, and cried to Yahweh and said, “Yahweh my God, please let this child’s soul come into him again.”
Zatim se tri puta pružio nad dječakom zazivajući Jahvu: “Jahve, Bože, učini da se u ovo dijete vrati duša njegova!”
22 Yahweh listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
Jahve je uslišio molbu Ilijinu, u dijete se vratila duša i ono oživje.
23 Elijah took the child and brought him down out of the room into the house, and delivered him to his mother; and Elijah said, “Behold, your son lives.”
Ilija ga uze, siđe iz gornje sobe u kuću i dade ga njegovoj materi; i reče Ilija: “Evo, tvoj sin živi!”
24 The woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that Yahweh’s word in your mouth is truth.”
Žena mu reče: “Sada znam da si ti čovjek Božji i da je riječ Jahvina u tvojim ustima istinita!”
