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 Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, "As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except by my word."
2 Pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a li e te di:
And the word of the LORD came to him, saying,
3 “Kite andwa sila a, vire vè lès e kache akote flèv Kerith ki nan lès a Jourdain an.
"Go away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Wadi Cherith, that is near the Jordan.
4 Li va fèt ke ou va bwè nan flèv la e mwen te kòmande zwazo kòbo pou ba ou pwovizyon.”
And it shall be that you will drink from the wadi. I have commanded the ravens to feed you 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 to the word of the LORD; for he went and lived by the Wadi Cherith, that is near the Jordan.
6 Kòbo yo te mennen ba li pen avèk vyann, e nan aswè li ta bwè nan flèv la.
And the ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening. And he drank from the wadi.
7 Li te vin rive apre yon tan ke flèv la te vin sèch, akoz pa t gen lapli nan peyi a.
And it happened after a while that the wadi dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
8 Konsa, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a li e te di:
The word of the LORD came to him, saying,
9 “Leve ale Sarepta, ki pou Sidon e rete la. Gade byen, Mwen te kòmande yon vèv ki la pou okipe ou.”
"Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Look, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you."
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 got up and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, look, a widow was there gathering wood. And he called to her, and said, "Please bring me a little water in a pitcher, that I may drink."
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 get it, he called to her, and said, "Please bring me a piece of bread in your 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.”
She said, "As the LORD your God lives, I do not have anything baked, except a handful of flour in a jar, and a little oil in a jug. Look, I am gathering a couple of sticks, that I may go in and bake it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die."
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 Elijah said to her, "Do not be afraid. Go and do as you have said. But make me of it a little cake first, and bring it out to me, and afterward make some for yourself and for your son.
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 says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'The jar of flour shall not empty, neither shall the jug of oil be empty, until the day that the LORD sends rain on the surface of the land.'"
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.
And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah. And she, and he, and her household, ate for a long 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 jar of flour did not empty, neither did the jug of oil become empty, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by Elijah.
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.
It happened after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick. And his illness was so severe 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 to Elijah, "What do we have in common, O man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to memory, and to kill my son."
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 to her, "Give me your son." And he took him out of her lap and carried him up into the room where he stayed, and laid him on his own 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?”
He cried to the LORD, and said, "LORD my God, have you also brought disaster on the widow with whom I sojourn, by killing her son?"
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 himself upon the child three times, and called out to the LORD, and said, "LORD my God, please let this child's soul come into him again."
22 SENYÈ a te tande vwa Élie, lavi pitit la te retounen nan li e li te vin refè.
The LORD listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
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 Elijah took the child and brought him down out of the room into the house and gave him to his mother. And Elijah said, "See, your son lives."
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 said to Elijah, "Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of the LORD in your mouth is the truth."
