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.
Elijah was [a prophet] who lived in Tishbe [town] in [the] Gilead [region]. One day he [went to] King Ahab and said to him, “Yahweh is the God whom we Israelis [worship] and the God whom I worship and serve. Just as certainly as Yahweh lives, there will be no dew or rain for the next few years, if I do not command rain to fall!”
2 Un Tā Kunga vārds uz to notika tā:
Then Yahweh said to Elijah,
3 Ej no šejienes un griezies pret rītiem un paslēpies pie Krites upes, kas tek pret Jardāni.
“[Because you have made the king angry with you, escape from the king and, ] go to the east, to the Kerith Brook, east of where it flows into the Jordan [River].
4 Un tur tu vari dzert no tās upes, un Es kraukļiem esmu pavēlējis, ka tiem tevi tur būs uzturēt.
You will be able to drink water from the brook, and [you will be able to eat what] the crows [bring to you, because] I have commanded them to bring food to you.”
5 Un viņš nogāja un darīja pēc Tā Kunga vārda, un nogāja un palika pie Krites upes, kas tek pret Jardāni.
So Elijah did what Yahweh commanded him to do. He went and camped alongside Kerith Brook.
6 Un kraukļi viņam atnesa maizi un gaļu rītos un maizi un gaļu vakaros, un viņš dzēra no tās upes.
Crows bought bread and meat to him every morning and every evening, and he drank [water] from the brook.
7 Bet pēc kāda laika tā upe izsīka, jo lietus tai zemē nebija.
But after a while, the water in the brook dried up, because rain did not fall anywhere in the land.
8 Tad Tā Kunga vārds uz viņu notika tā:
Then Yahweh said to Elijah,
9 Celies un ej uz Sareptu, kas pie Sidones pieder, un paliec turpat; redzi, Es tur esmu pavēlējis vienai atraitnei, tevi uzturēt.
“Go and live in Zarephath [village], near Sidon [city]. There is a widow there who will give you food to eat. I have [already] told her what to do about that.”
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.
So [Elijah did what God said]. He went to Zarephath. As he arrived at the gates of the village, he saw a widow who was gathering sticks. He said to her, “Would you please bring me a cup of water?”
11 Un tā gāja to atnest. Un viņš tai sauca un sacīja: atnes man arī kumosu maizes savā rokā.
While she was going to get it, he called out to her, “Bring me a piece of bread, too!”
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.
But she replied, “Your God knows that what I am telling you is true: I do not have even one piece of bread in my house. I have only a handful of flour in a jar, and a little [olive] oil in a jug. I was gathering a few sticks to use these to [make a fire and] cook one more meal, and then after my son and I eat that, we will die [from hunger].”
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.
But Elijah said to her, “Do not be worried! Go home and do what you said that you were going to do. But first, bake me a little loaf of bread and bring it to me. After you do that, take what is left and prepare some food for you and 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.
[I know that you will be able to do that, ] because Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says this: ‘There will always be plenty of flour and [olive] oil left in your containers, until the time when I send rain again [and the crops grow again]!’”
15 Un tā nogāja un darīja pēc Elijas vārda; tā viņa ēda un viņš un viņas nams labu laiku;
So the woman did exactly what Elijah told her to do. And she and her son and Elijah had enough food every day,
16 Milti tīnē negāja galā un krūzē eļļas netrūka pēc Tā Kunga vārda, ko viņš caur Eliju bija runājis.
because the flour in the jar was never finished, and the jug of oil was never empty. That happened just like Yahweh had told Elijah that it would happen.
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.
Some time later, the woman’s son became sick. He continued to get worse, and finally he died.
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.
So the woman went to Elijah and said to him, “You are a prophet; so why have you done this to me? Have you come here to punish me for my sins by causing my son to die?”
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.
But Elijah replied, “Give your son to me.” So she gave her son to him, and he took the boy’s [body] from her and carried it up [the steps] to the room where he stayed. He laid the boy’s [body] on his 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?
Then Elijah cried out to Yahweh, “O Yahweh my God, this widow [has kindly allowed] me to stay in her home. So why have you brought this tragedy to her and caused her son to die?” [RHQ]
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!
Then Elijah stretched himself on top of the boy’s [body] and called out to Yahweh saying, “Yahweh my God, please allow this boy to become alive again!” He did this three times.
22 Un Tas Kungs klausīja Elijas balsi, un tā bērna dvēsele atkal nāca iekš viņa, un tas atdzīvojās.
Yahweh heard what Elijah prayed, and [he caused] the boy [to] become alive again [DOU].
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.
Elijah carried the boy down [the steps] and gave him to his mother. He said, “Look, your son is alive!”
24 Tad tā sieva sacīja uz Eliju: nu es zinu, ka tu esi Dieva vīrs, un Tā Kunga vārds tavā mutē ir patiesība.
The woman said to Elijah, “Now I know [for certain] that you are a prophet and that the words that you speak are truly from Yahweh!”
