1 Sarakuna 17
1 To, Iliya mutumin Tishbe, daga Tishbe a Gileyad, ya ce wa Ahab, “Muddin Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila wanda nake bauta wa yana a raye, ba za a yi raɓa ko ruwan sama a’yan shekaru masu zuwa ba, sai ko na faɗa haka.”
And Eliu the prophet, the Thesbite of Thesbae of Galaad, said to Achaab, As the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be these years dew nor rain, except by the word of my mouth.
2 Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Iliya, ta ce,
And the word of the Lord came to Eliu, [saying],
3 “Ka bar nan, ka nufi wajajen gabas, ka ɓuya a Rafin Kerit, gabas da Urdun.
Depart hence eastward, and hide thee by the brook of Chorrath, that is before Jordan.
4 Za ka sha daga rafin, zan kuma umarci hankaki su ciyar da kai a can.”
And it shall be [that] thou shalt drink water of the brook, and I will charge the ravens to feed thee there.
5 Saboda haka sai Iliya ya yi abin da Ubangiji ya faɗa masa. Ya tafi Rafin Kerit, gabas da Urdun, ya zauna a can.
And Eliu did according to the word of the Lord, and he sat by the brook of Chorrath before Jordan.
6 Hankaki suka riƙa kawo masa abinci da nama, safe da yamma, ya kuma sha daga rafin.
And the ravens brought him loaves in the morning, and flesh in the evening and he drank water of the brook.
7 Ana nan sai rafin ya bushe saboda ba a yi ruwan sama a ƙasar ba.
And it came to pass after some time, that the brook was dried up, because there had been no rain upon the earth.
8 Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Iliya cewa,
And the word of the Lord came to Eliu, [saying],
9 “Je ka, nan take, zuwa Zarefat na Sidon, ka zauna a can. Na umarci wata gwauruwa a can tă ciyar da kai.”
Arise, and go to Sarepta of the Sidonian [land]: behold, I have there commanded a widow-woman to maintain thee.
10 Saboda haka sai ya tafi Zarefat. Sa’ad da ya isa ƙofar gari, sai ga wata gwauruwa tana tattara’yan itace. Sai ya kira ta, ya ce, “Ki kawo mini ɗan ruwa a tulu don in sha.”
And he arose and went to Sarepta, and came to the gate of the city: and, behold, a widow-woman was there gathering sticks; and Eliu cried after her, and said to her, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
11 Da ta kama hanya za tă tafi tă kawo, sai ya sāke kiranta ya ce, “Ina roƙonki, ki kuma kawo mini ɗan abinci.”
And she went to fetch it; and Eliu cried after her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of the bread that is in thy hand.
12 Sai ta ce masa, “Na rantse da Ubangiji Allahnka, ba ni da wani abinci, sai dai ɗan gari hannu guda a tulu, da kuma ɗan mai a kwalaba. Ina tattara’yan itacen nan ne don in kai gida in yi abinci wa kaina da ɗana, don mu ci, mu mutu.”
And the woman said, [As] the Lord thy God lives, I have not a cake, but only a handful of meal in the pitcher, and a little oil in a cruse, and, behold, I am going to gather two sticks, and I shall go in and dress it for myself and my children, and we shall eat it and die.
13 Iliya ya ce mata, “Kada ki ji tsoro. Ki tafi gida, ki yi yadda kika ce. Amma da farko ki yi mini’yar wainar burodi daga abin da kike da shi ki kawo mini, sa’an nan ki yi wani abu wa kanki da kuma ɗanki.
And Eliu said to her, Be of good courage, go in and do according to thy word: but make me thereof a little cake, and thou shalt bring [it] out to me first, and thou shalt make [some] for thyself and thy children last.
14 Gama abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila ya ce, ‘Tulun garin ba zai ƙare ba, kwalabar man kuma ba zai bushe ba sai ranar da Ubangiji ya bayar da ruwan sama a ƙasar.’”
For thus saith the Lord, The pitcher of meal shall not fail, and the cruse of oil shall not diminish, until the day that the Lord gives rain upon the earth.
15 Sai ta tafi, ta yi yadda Iliya ya faɗa mata. Saboda haka aka kasance da abinci kowace rana wa Iliya da kuma don macen da iyalinta.
And the woman went and did [so], and did eat, she, and he, and her children.
16 Gama tulun garin bai ƙare ba, kwalabar man kuma bai bushe ba, kamar yadda Ubangiji ya faɗa wa Iliya.
And the pitcher of meal failed not, and the cruse of oil was not diminished, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by the hand of Eliu.
17 Ana nan sai ɗan matan, wato, gwauruwan nan ya fara ciwo. Ciwon ya ƙara muni, daga ƙarshe sai ya daina numfashi.
And it came to pass afterward, that the son of the woman the mistress of the house was sick; and his sickness was very severe, until there was no breath left in him.
18 Sai ta ce wa Iliya, “Mutumin Allah, yaya haka? Ka zo ne domin ka nuna wa Allah zunubaina, ka kuma jawo mutuwar ɗana?”
And she said to Eliu, What have I to do with thee, O man of God? hast thou come in to me to bring my sins to remembrance, and to slay my son?
19 Iliya ya ce, “Ki miƙa mini ɗanki.” Sai ya ɗauke shi daga hannuwanta, ya kai shi ɗakin sama inda yake zama, ya kwantar da shi a gadonsa.
And Eliu said to the woman, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and took him up to the chamber in which he himself lodged, and laid him on the bed.
20 Sa’an nan ya yi kuka ga Ubangiji ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji Allahna, don me ka kawo wannan masifa a kan gwauruwan nan? Kai ka ce in zauna tare da ita, ga shi yanzu ɗanta ya mutu.”
And Eliu cried aloud, and said, Alas, O Lord, the witness of the widow with whom I sojourn, thou hast wrought evil [for her] in slaying her son.
21 Sai ya kwanta, ya miƙe kansa a kan yaron sau uku, ya kuma yi kuka ga Ubangiji ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji Allahna, ka mai da ran yaron nan!”
And he breathed on the child thrice, and called on the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, let, I pray thee, the soul of this child return to him.
22 Ubangiji kuwa ya ji kukan Iliya, sai ran yaron ya dawo masa, ya kuma rayu.
And it was so, and the child cried out,
23 Iliya ya ɗauki yaron ya sauko da shi daga ɗakin sama zuwa cikin gida. Ya ba da shi ga mahaifiyarsa, ya ce, “Duba, ɗanki yana da rai!”
and he brought him down from the upper chamber into the house, and gave him to his mother; and Eliu said, See, thy son lives.
24 Sai matar ta ce wa Iliya, “Yanzu na san cewa kai mutumin Allah ne, Ubangiji kuma yana magana ta wurinka.”
And the woman said to Eliu, Behold, I know that thou [art] a man of God, and the word of the Lord in thy mouth [is] true.
