1 Wa 17
1 Alò, Élie, Tichbit la, ki te pami fondatè Galaad yo, te di a Achab: “Jan SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, viv la, devan sila mwen kanpe a, anverite p ap gen ni lawouze, ni lapli nan ane sila yo, sof ke pa pawòl mwen.”
And Eliiah the Tishbite one of the inhabitats of Gilead sayde vnto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liueth, before whom I stand, there shall be neither dewe nor rayne these yeeres, but according to my worde.
2 Pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a li e te di:
And the worde of the Lord came vnto him, saying,
3 “Kite andwa sila a, vire vè lès e kache akote flèv Kerith ki nan lès a Jourdain an.
Go hence, and turne thee Eastwarde, and hide thy selfe in the riuer Cherith, that is ouer against Iorden,
4 Li va fèt ke ou va bwè nan flèv la e mwen te kòmande zwazo kòbo pou ba ou pwovizyon.”
And thou shalt drinke of the riuer: and I haue comanded the rauens to feede thee there.
5 Konsa, li te ale e te fè selon pawòl SENYÈ a; paske li te ale viv akote flèv Kerith la, ki te vè lès a Jourdain an.
So he went and did according vnto the word of the Lord: for he went, and remained by the riuer Cherith that is ouer against Iorden.
6 Kòbo yo te mennen ba li pen avèk vyann, e nan aswè li ta bwè nan flèv la.
And the rauens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the euening, and he dranke of the riuer.
7 Li te vin rive apre yon tan ke flèv la te vin sèch, akoz pa t gen lapli nan peyi a.
And after a while the riuer dryed vp, because there fell no rayne vpon the earth.
8 Konsa, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a li e te di:
And the worde of the Lord came vnto him, saying,
9 “Leve ale Sarepta, ki pou Sidon e rete la. Gade byen, Mwen te kòmande yon vèv ki la pou okipe ou.”
Vp, and get thee to Zarephath, which is in Zidon, and remaine there: beholde, I haue commanded a widow there to sustaine thee.
10 Konsa, li te leve ale Sarepta e lè li te rive nan pòtay vil la, vwala, yon vèv te la e t ap ranmase bwa. Li te rele li e te di: “Souple, chèche yon ti dlo nan yon veso, pou m kab bwè.”
So he arose, and went to Zarephath: and when he came to the gate of the citie, beholde, the widowe was there gathering stickes: and he called her, and sayde, Bring me, I pray thee, a litle water in a vessel, that I may drinke.
11 Pandan li t ap pral chèche l, li te rele kote li e te di: “Souple, pote ban m yon ti pen nan men ou.”
And as she was going to fet it, he called to her, and sayde, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsell of bread in thine hand.
12 Men li te di: “Jan SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, viv la, devan sila mwen kanpe a, mwen pa gen pen, sèlman yon men farin nan bòl la avèk yon ti kras lwil nan bokal la. Gade byen, mwen ap ranmase kèk mòso bwa pou m kab antre prepare pou mwen avèk fis mwen an, pou nou kab manje l e mouri.”
And shee sayde, As the Lord thy God liueth, I haue not a cake, but euen an handfull of meale in a barrel, and a litle oyle in a cruse: and behold, I am gathering a fewe stickes for to go in, and dresse it for me and my sonne, that we may eate it, and dye.
13 Élie te di li: “Pa pè. Ale. Fè jan ou te di a, men fè pou mwen yon ti gato pen avè l avan, e pote l deyò ban mwen. Apre, w ap kapab fè pou ou menm ak pou gason ou an.
And Eliiah said vnto her, Feare not, come, do as thou hast sayd, but make me thereof a litle cake first of all, and bring it vnto mee, and afterward make for thee, and thy sonne.
14 Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la: ‘Bòl farin nan p ap vid, ni boutèy lwil la p ap vid, jis jou ke SENYÈ a voye lapli sou fas tè a.’”
For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The meale in the barrel shall not be wasted, neither shall the oyle in the cruse be diminished, vnto the time that the Lord send rayne vpon the earth.
15 Konsa, li te ale, e te fè selon pawòl Élie yo, e li menm avèk gason an avèk Élie te manje pandan anpil jou.
So she went, and did as Eliiah sayd, and she did eate: so did he and her house for a certaine time.
16 Bòl farin nan pa t fini, ni boutèy lwil la pa t vid, jan pawòl SENYÈ a te pale pa Élie a.
The barrell of the meale wasted not, nor the oyle was spent out of the cruse, according to the worde of the Lord, which he spake by the hand of Eliiah.
17 Alò, li te vin rive apre bagay sa yo ke gason a fanm nan, mètrès kay la, te vin malad. Epi maladi li a te tèlman rèd ke li pa t gen souf ki rete nan li.
And after these things, the sonne of the wife of the house fell sicke, and his sicknesse was so sore, that there was no breath left in him.
18 Konsa, famn nan te di a Élie: “Kisa mwen gen avè w, O nonm Bondye? Ou te vin kote mwen pou fè m vin sonje inikite mwen e mete gason mwen an a lanmò!”
And she said vnto Eliiah, What haue I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come vnto me to call my sinne to remembrance, and to slay my sonne?
19 Li te di a fanm nan: “Ban mwen gason ou an.” Epi li te retire li sou lestonmak li e te pote li monte nan chanm anlè kote li te rete a e li te kouche li sou pwòp kabann pa li.
And he said vnto her, Giue me thy sonne. and he tooke him out of her bosome, and caryed him vp into a chamber, where he abode, and laid him vpon his owne bed.
20 Li te rele SENYÈ a e te di: “O SENYÈ, Bondye mwen an, èske Ou osi te mennen gwo dezas sou vèv la kote mwen rete a e fè pitit li a mouri?”
Then he called vnto the Lord, and sayde, O Lord my God, hast thou punished also this widowe, with whome I soiourne, by killing her sonne?
21 Alò, li te lonje kò li sou pitit la twa fwa e li te rele SENYÈ a, e te di: “O SENYÈ, Bondye mwen an, mwen priye Ou, kite lavi pitit sa a retounen nan li.”
And he stretched himselfe vpon the childe three times, and called vnto the Lord, and saide, O Lord my God, I pray thee, let this childes soule come into him againe.
22 SENYÈ a te tande vwa Élie, lavi pitit la te retounen nan li e li te vin refè.
Then the Lord heard the voyce of Eliiah, and the soule of the child came into him againe, and he reuiued.
23 Élie te pran pitit la, li te mennen li desann soti chanm anlè a, li te antre nan kay la e li bay li a manman li, epi Élie te di: “Ou wè, gason ou an vivan.”
And Eliiah tooke the childe, and brought him downe out of the chamber into the house, and deliuered him vnto his mother, and Eliiah sayd, Behold, thy sonne liueth.
24 Konsa, fanm nan te di a Élie: “Koulye a, mwen konnen ke ou se yon nonm Bondye, e ke pawòl SENYÈ a nan bouch ou se verite.”
And the woman saide vnto Eliiah, Now I knowe that thou art a man of God, and that the worde of the Lord in thy mouth is true.
