1 Ar-ari 17
1 Kinuna ni Elias a taga-Tisbe a masakupan ti Galaad, kenni Ahab, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon a Dios ti Israel, a pagserserbiak, awanto ti linnaaw wenno tudo kadagitoy a tawtawen malaksid no ibagak nga umadda.”
Elijah the Tishbite, who was one of the settlers 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, but according to my word.”
2 Immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Elias a kunana,
Then the LORD’s word came to him, saying,
3 “Pumanawka ditoy ket mapanka iti daya; aglemmengka iti waig ti Kerit nga adda iti daya ti Jordan.
“Go away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.
4 Uminomkanto iti danum iti waig ket binilinkon dagiti uwak a pakanendakanto sadiay.
You shall drink from the brook. I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
5 Napan ngarud ni Elias ket inaramidna ti kas iti sao nga imbilin ni Yahweh. Napan nagnaed isuna idiay igid ti waig ti Kerit, nga adda iti daya ti Jordan.
So he went and did according to the LORD’s word, for he went and lived by the brook Cherith that is before the Jordan.
6 Nangyeg dagiti uwak kenkuana iti tinapay ken karne iti agsapa ken iti rabii, ket imminum isuna iti waig.
The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook.
7 Ngem saan a nagbayag, natianan ti waig gapu ta saan a nagtudtudo iti daga.
After a while, the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
8 Immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenkuana a kinunana,
The LORD’s word came to him, saying,
9 “Agrubwatka, mapanka idiay Sarefat a masakupan ti Sidon, ket agnaedka sadiay. Dumngegka, binilinko ti maysa a balo a babai sadiay a mangisabetto iti kasapulam.”
“Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.”
10 Nagrubuat ngarud isuna ket napan idiay Sarefat ket idi makadanon iti pagserkan ti siudad, adda maysa a balo a babai sadiay a mangaykayo. Isu nga immawag isuna kenkuana ket kinunana, “Pangngaasim ta iyegannak iti bassit a danum tapno uminomak.”
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.”
11 Bayat a mapmapan ti balo tapno mangala iti danum, immawag ni Elias kenkuana ket kinunana, “Pangngaasim ta iyegannak iti maysa a tinapay.”
As she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.”
12 Simmungbat ti balo, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh a Diosmo nga adda iti agnanayon, awan ti tinapayko, ngem adda sangarakem laeng nga arina iti burnay ken sangkabassit a lana iti garapon. Kitaem, mangal-alaak iti dua a kayo a pagsungrod tapno panglutok iti daytoy nga agpaay kaniak ken iti anakko a lalaki, tapno makapangankami ket kalpasanna, mataykami.”
She said, “As the LORD 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.”
13 Kinuna ni Elias kenkuana, “Saanka nga agdanag. Mapanka ket aramidem ti imbagam, ngem iyaramidannak nga umuna iti sangkabassit a tinapay ket iyegmo kaniak. Ket kalpasanna, agaramidka iti para kenka ken iti anakmo.
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.
14 Ta kuna ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, 'Saanto a maibusan ti burnay ti arina, ket saan pay nga agsardeng ti panagayus ti garapon ti lana, agingga iti aldaw a mangipatulod ni Yahweh iti tudo iti daga.”
For the LORD, 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 the LORD sends rain on the earth.’”
15 Isu nga inaramidna ti imbaga ni Elias kenkuana, ket isuna ken ti anakna agraman ni Elias, adda umanay a taraonda iti adu nga aldaw.
She went and did according to the saying of Elijah; and she, he, and her household ate many days.
16 Saan a naibusan ti burnay ti arina, ken saan a naibusan ti garapon iti lana, kas iti imbaga ti sao ni Yahweh, nga imbagana babaen kenni Elias.
The jar of meal didn’t run out and the jar of oil didn’t fail, according to the LORD’s word, which he spoke by Elijah.
17 Kalpasan dagidiay a banbanag, nagsakit ti anak ti balo nga akin-kukua iti balay. Nakaro unay ti sakitna nga uray la awanen ti anges a nabati kenkuana.
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.
18 Isu a kinuna ti balo kenni Elias, “Ania ti basolko kenka, tao ti Dios? Immayka kadi kaniak tapno ipalagipmo dagiti basolko ken patayem ti anakko?”
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!”
19 Ket simmungbat ni Elias iti balo, “Itedmo kaniak ti anakmo.” Innala ni Elias ti ubing kadagiti takiag ti balo ket binagkatna nga impan iti akin-ngato a siled a pagturturoganna, ket impaidanna ti ubing iti pagiddaanna.
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.
20 Immasug isuna kenni Yahweh ket kinunana, “O Yahweh a Diosko, nangyegka met kadi iti didigra iti balo a pakipagnanaedak, babaen iti panangpataymo iti anakna?”
He cried to the LORD and said, “LORD my God, have you also brought evil on the widow with whom I am staying, by killing her son?”
21 Ket namitlo a nagpakleb ni Elias iti bagi ti ubing; immasug isuna kenni Yahweh ket kinunana, “O Yahweh a Diosko, agpakaasiak kenka, pangngaasim ta isublim koma ti biag daytoy nga ubing.”
He stretched himself on the child three times, and cried to the LORD and said, “LORD my God, please let this child’s soul come into him again.”
22 Impangag ni Yahweh ti timek ni Elias; naisubli ti biag ti ubing ket nagbiag ti ubing.
The LORD listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
23 Inruar ni Elias ti ubing iti kuartona sana inyulog ket intedna iti inana, ket kinunana, “Adtoy, sibibiag ti anakmo.”
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.”
24 Kinuna ti babai kenni Elias, “Ita, ammokon a taonaka ti Dios, ken ti sao ni Yahweh iti ngiwatmo ket pudno.”
The woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the LORD’s word in your mouth is truth.”
