< Pirmā Ķēniņu 17 >
1 Un Elija no Tizbes, no Gileādas iedzīvotājiem, sacīja uz Ahabu: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, dzīvo, kā priekšā es stāvu, šinīs gados nebūs nedz rasas nedz lietus, kā vien, kad es to sacīšu.
And Elijah the Tishbite, from the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the Lord lives, the God of Israel, in whose sight I stand, there shall not be dew or rain during these years, except by the words of my mouth.”
2 Un Tā Kunga vārds uz to notika tā:
And the word of the Lord came to him, saying:
3 Ej no šejienes un griezies pret rītiem un paslēpies pie Krites upes, kas tek pret Jardāni.
“Withdraw from here, and go toward the east, and hide at the torrent Cherith, which is opposite the Jordan.
4 Un tur tu vari dzert no tās upes, un Es kraukļiem esmu pavēlējis, ka tiem tevi tur būs uzturēt.
And there you shall drink from the torrent. And I have instructed the ravens to feed you there.”
5 Un viņš nogāja un darīja pēc Tā Kunga vārda, un nogāja un palika pie Krites upes, kas tek pret Jardāni.
Therefore, he went and acted in accord with the word of the Lord. And going away, he settled by the torrent Cherith, which is opposite the Jordan.
6 Un kraukļi viņam atnesa maizi un gaļu rītos un maizi un gaļu vakaros, un viņš dzēra no tās upes.
And the ravens carried bread and flesh to him in the morning, and likewise bread and flesh in the evening. And he drank from the torrent.
7 Bet pēc kāda laika tā upe izsīka, jo lietus tai zemē nebija.
But after some days, the torrent dried up. For it had not rained upon the earth.
8 Tad Tā Kunga vārds uz viņu notika tā:
Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying:
9 Celies un ej uz Sareptu, kas pie Sidones pieder, un paliec turpat; redzi, Es tur esmu pavēlējis vienai atraitnei, tevi uzturēt.
“Rise up, and go to Zarephath of the Sidonians, and dwell there. For I have instructed a widowed woman there to feed you.”
10 Tad viņš cēlās un gāja uz Sareptu Un kad viņš nonāca pie pilsētas vārtiem, redzi, tad tur viena atraitne lasīja malku. Un viņš tai sauca un sacīja: atnes man traukā kādu ūdens malciņu, ko dzert.
He rose up and went away to Zarephath. And when he had arrived at the gate of the city, he saw the widowed woman collecting wood, and he called to her. And he said to her, “Give me a little water in a vessel, so that I may drink.”
11 Un tā gāja to atnest. Un viņš tai sauca un sacīja: atnes man arī kumosu maizes savā rokā.
And as she was going to bring it, he called out after her, saying, “Bring me also, I beg you, a morsel of bread in your hand.”
12 Bet tā sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, dzīvo, man nekā cepta nav, un tik vien ir sauja miltu tīnē un maķenīt eļļas krūzē, un redzi, es esmu salasījusi kādu pāri malkas gabaliņu, un nu es iešu un sev un savam dēlam ko pataisīšu, ka ēdam un mirstam.
And she responded: “As the Lord your God lives, I have no bread, except a handful of flour in a jar, and a little oil in a bottle. See, I am collecting a couple of sticks, so that I may go in and make it for myself and my son, so that we may eat it and die.”
13 Un Elija uz to sacīja: nebīsties, ej, pataisi to, kā tu sacījusi, bet man taisi no tiem papriekš mazu rausi un iznes man to ārā, un pēc tu arī varēsi taisīt sev un savam dēlam.
And Elijah said to her: “Do not be afraid. But go and do as you have said. Yet truly, first make for me, from the same flour, a little bread baked under ashes, and bring it to me. Then afterward, make some for yourself and for your son.
14 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: milti tīnē neies galā un krūzē eļļas netrūks līdz tai dienai, kad Tas Kungs dos lietu virs zemes.
For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘The jar of flour will not fail, nor the bottle of oil be diminished, until the day when the Lord will grant rain upon the face of the earth.’”
15 Un tā nogāja un darīja pēc Elijas vārda; tā viņa ēda un viņš un viņas nams labu laiku;
She went and acted in accord with the word of Elijah. And he ate, and she and her household ate. And from that day,
16 Milti tīnē negāja galā un krūzē eļļas netrūka pēc Tā Kunga vārda, ko viņš caur Eliju bija runājis.
the jar of flour did not fail, and the bottle of oil was not diminished, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the hand of Elijah.
17 Un pēc tam notikās, ka šīs sievas, tās nama mātes, dēls palika slims un viņa slimība palika ļoti grūta, kamēr viņam dvašas vairs nebija.
Now it happened that, after these things, the son of the woman who was the mother of the family became ill. And the sickness was very powerful, so that no breath remained in him.
18 Un tā sacīja uz Eliju: kas man ar tevi, tu Dieva vīrs? Tu pie manis esi atnācis, lai mani grēki top pieminēti un mans dēls mirst.
Therefore, she said to Elijah: “What is there between you and me, O man of God? Have you entered to me, so that my iniquities would be remembered, and so that you would put to death my son?”
19 Un viņš uz to sacīja: dod man šurp savu dēlu. Un viņš to ņēma no viņas klēpja un to uznesa augšistabā, kur viņš mita, un to lika uz savu gultu.
And Elijah said to her, “Give your son to me.” And he took him from her bosom, and he carried him to an upper room, where he himself was staying. And he placed him on his own bed.
20 Un viņš piesauca To Kungu un sacīja: Kungs, mans Dievs! Vai tad Tu šai atraitnei, pie kuras es piemājoju, tik ļaunu esi darījis un nonāvējis viņas bērnu?
And he cried out to the Lord, and he said, “O Lord, my God, have you even afflicted the widow by whom I am, in a sense, sustained, so that you would put to death her son?”
21 Un viņš stiepās pār to bērnu trīs reizes un piesauca To Kungu un sacīja: Kungs, mans Dievs! Lai jel šā bērna dvēsele atkal nāk iekš viņa!
And he stretched himself out beside the boy three times. And he cried out to the Lord and said, “O Lord, my God, let the soul of this boy, I beg you, return to his body.”
22 Un Tas Kungs klausīja Elijas balsi, un tā bērna dvēsele atkal nāca iekš viņa, un tas atdzīvojās.
And the Lord heeded the voice of Elijah. And the soul of the boy returned to him, and he revived.
23 Un Elija ņēma to bērnu un to nonesa no augšistabas namā un to deva viņa mātei; un Elija uz to sacīja: redzi še, tavs dēls dzīvs.
And Elijah took the boy, and he brought him down from the upper room to the lower part of the house. And he gave him to his mother. And he said to her, “See, your son lives.”
24 Tad tā sieva sacīja uz Eliju: nu es zinu, ka tu esi Dieva vīrs, un Tā Kunga vārds tavā mutē ir patiesība.
And the woman said to Elijah: “By this, I now realize that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is true.”
