1 Kings 17
1 And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, saith unto Ahab, 'Jehovah, God of Israel, liveth, before whom I have stood, there is not these years dew and rain, except according to my word.'
Yon pwofèt yo te rele Eli, moun lavil Tichbe nan zòn Galarad, di wa Akab konsa: -Nan non Seyè m'ap sèvi a, Bondye vivan pèp Izrayèl la, men sa m'ap di ou: Pandan lanne k'ap vini yo, p'ap gen lawouze, p'ap gen lapli si se pa mwen ki mande sa.
2 And the word of Jehovah is unto him, saying,
Apre sa, Seyè a pale ak Eli, li di l' konsa:
3 'Go from this [place]; and thou hast turned for thee eastward, and been hidden by the brook Cherith, that [is] on the front of the Jordan,
-Kite kote ou ye a, ale nan direksyon solèy leve. Al kache toupre ravin Kerit la ki sou bò solèy leve larivyè Jouden.
4 and it hath been, from the brook thou dost drink, and the ravens I have commanded to sustain thee there.'
W'a jwenn dlo nan ravin lan pou ou bwè. Mwen bay kaou yo lòd pou yo pote manje ba ou.
5 And he goeth and doth according to the word of Jehovah, yea, he goeth and dwelleth by the brook Cherith, that [is] on the front of the Jordan,
Eli fè sa Seyè a te di l' fè a. Li pati, l' al rete toupre ravin Kerit la.
6 and the ravens are bringing to him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening, and of the brook he drinketh.
Kaou yo pote pen ak vyann pou li chak maten, chak aswè. Li te jwenn dlo pou l' bwè nan ravin lan.
7 And it cometh to pass, at the end of days, that the brook drieth up, for there hath been no rain in the land,
Kèk tan apre sa, ravin lan vin chèch, paske lapli pa t' tonbe nan peyi a.
8 and the word of Jehovah is unto him, saying,
Lè sa a, Seyè a pale ak Eli, li di l' konsa:
9 'Rise, go to Zarephath, that [is] to Zidon, and thou hast dwelt there; lo, I have commanded there a widow woman to sustain thee.'
-Leve non! Ale lavil Sarepta, nan peyi wa Sidon an. Se la ou pral rete koulye a. Mwen bay yon fanm vèv ki rete laba a lòd pou li ba ou manje.
10 And he riseth, and goeth to Zarephath, and cometh in unto the opening of the city, and lo there, a widow woman gathering sticks, and he calleth unto her, and saith, 'Bring, I pray thee, to me, a little water in a vessel, and I drink.'
Se konsa Eli leve vre, li pati pou lavil Sarepta. Lè li rive bò pòtay lavil la, li wè yon fanm vèv ki t'ap ranmase bwa. Li rele l', li di l' konsa: -Tanpri, pote ti gout dlo nan yon veso pou m' bwè.
11 And she goeth to bring [it], and he calleth unto her and saith, 'Bring, I pray thee, to me a morsel of bread in thy hand.'
Madanm lan fè sa pou l' al chache dlo a, Eli rele l' ankò, li di l' konsa: -Tanpri, pote yon moso pen pou mwen tou.
12 And she saith, 'Jehovah thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but the fulness of the hand of meal in a pitcher, and a little oil in a dish; and lo, I am gathering two sticks, and have gone in and prepared it for myself, and for my son, and we have eaten it — and died.'
Madanm lan reponn li: -Mwen pran Seyè a, Bondye ou la ki vivan an, pou temwen, mwen pa gen pen tou kwit lakay mwen. Tou sa m' genyen se yon ponyen farin frans nan yon ti bòl ak tigout lwil nan yon boutèy. Mwen vin ranmase de ti bwa la a pou m' al pare ti sa ki rete m' lan pou mwen ak pitit gason m' lan. Lè n'a fin manje l', nou pral rete konsa jouk grangou touye nou.
13 And Elijah saith unto her, 'Fear not, go, do according to thy word, only make for me thence a little cake, in the first place, and thou hast brought out to me; and for thee and for thy son make — last;
Eli di li: -Pa bat kò ou! Ale pare ti manje ou la! Sèlman fè yon ti pen pou mwen anvan, epi pote l' vini. Apre sa, w'a fè yonn pou ou ak pitit gason ou lan.
14 for thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, The pitcher of meal is not consumed, and the dish of oil is not lacking, till the day of Jehovah's giving a shower on the face of the ground.'
Paske men pawòl Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, di: Ti bòl farin frans lan ak ti boutèy lwil oliv la p'ap janm vid jouk jou mwen menm Seyè a m'a fè lapli tonbe sou latè ankò.
15 And she goeth, and doth according to the word of Elijah, and she eateth, she and he, and her household — days;
Madanm lan ale, li fè sa Eli te di l' fè a. Se konsa pandan lontan, ni madanm lan, ni pitit gason l' lan, ni Eli, yo tout jwenn manje pou yo manje.
16 the pitcher of meal was not consumed, and the dish of oil did not lack, according to the word of Jehovah that He spake by the hand of Elijah.
Te toujou gen farin frans nan ti bòl la ak lwil oliv nan ti boutèy la, jan Seyè a te mete pawòl la nan bouch pwofèt Eli.
17 And it cometh to pass, after these things, the son of the woman, mistress of the house, hath been sick, and his sickness is very severe till that no breath hath been left in him.
Kèk tan apre sa, pitit gason metrès kay la tonbe malad. Maladi a vini pi mal sou li jouk li mouri.
18 And she saith unto Elijah, 'What — to me and to thee, O man of God? thou hast come unto me to cause mine iniquity to be remembered, and to put my son to death!'
Madanm lan di Eli konsa: -Sèvitè Bondye, poukisa ou fè m' sa? Ou vin lakay mwen pou fè Bondye chonje peche m' yo, pou fè pitit gason m' lan mouri.
19 And he saith unto her, 'Give to me thy son;' and he taketh him out of her bosom, and taketh him up unto the upper chamber where he is abiding, and layeth him on his own bed,
Eli reponn: -Ban m' pitit la. Li pran ti gason an nan men manman l', li moute avè l' nan pyès chanm anwo kay la kote li te rete a, li mete l' kouche sou kabann li.
20 and crieth unto Jehovah, and saith, 'Jehovah my God, also on the widow with whom I am sojourning hast Thou done evil — to put her son to death?'
Apre sa, li lapriyè, li di: -Seyè, Bondye mwen, poukisa pou ou fè vèv sa a tout lapenn sa a? Li resevwa m' lakay li, men w'ap pran pitit li.
21 And he stretcheth himself out on the lad three times, and calleth unto Jehovah, and saith, 'O Jehovah my God, let turn back, I pray Thee, the soul of this lad into his midst;'
Eli kouche twa fwa sou pitit la, li lapriyè. Li di: -Seyè, Bondye mwen, tanpri, bay pitit la lavi ankò.
22 and Jehovah hearkeneth to the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the lad turneth back into his midst, and he liveth.
Seyè a koute lapriyè Eli a, li bay pitit la lavi ankò. Ti gason an rekonmanse pran souf.
23 And Elijah taketh the lad, and bringeth him down from the upper chamber of the house, and giveth him to his mother, and Elijah saith, 'See, thy son liveth!'
Eli pran ti bway la, li desann anba avè l', li renmèt li bay manman l', li di l': -Gade! Ti gason ou lan vivan!
24 And the woman saith unto Elijah, 'Now, this I have known, that a man of God thou [art], and the word of Jehovah in thy mouth [is] truth.'
Madanm lan reponn: -Koulye a mwen wè se yon sèvite Bondye ou ye vre. Pawòl nan bouch ou se pawòl Bondye vre.
