1 Mpanjaka 17
1 Le hoe t’i Elià nte-Tisbè mpimoneñe e Gilade amy Akabe, Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele fijohañako, le tsy hahavy mika ndra orañe o taoñe rezao naho tsy ami’ty rehako avao.
And Elijah the Tishbite, of Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, By the living Lord, the God of Israel, whose servant I am, there will be no dew or rain in these years, but only at my word.
2 Le niheo ama’e ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying,
3 Isitaho ty etoa le mitoliha maniñanañe, le mietaha amy torahañe atao Kerite atiñana’ Iordaneiy,
Go from here in the direction of the east, and keep yourself in a secret place by the stream Cherith, east of Jordan.
4 le hinoñe amy torahañey irehe vaho fa liniliko o koàkeo ty hamahañe azo.
The water of the stream will be your drink, and by my orders the ravens will give you food there.
5 Aa le nimb’eo re nanao i nitsarae’ Iehovày, nañialo añ’ olo’ i Kerite atiñana’ Iordaneiy.
So he went and did as the Lord said, living by the stream Cherith, east of Jordan.
6 Ninday mofo naho hena ama’e boa-maraiñe o koàkeo naho mofo naho hena te hariva, ie ninoñe an-torahañe ao.
And the ravens took him bread in the morning and meat in the evening; and the water of the stream was his drink.
7 Ie añe nimaike i torahañey amy te tsy niavy orañe i taney.
Now after a time the stream became dry, because there was no rain in the land.
8 Aa le niheo ama’e ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying,
9 Miongaha, akia mb’e Tsarepate e Tsidone añe, le imoneño; inao, fa liniliko hiatrak’ azo ty vantotse.
Up! go now to Zarephath, in Zidon, and make your living-place there; I have given orders to a widow woman there to see that you have food.
10 Aa le niongake re nimb’e Tsarepate añe; ie nivotrak’ an-dalambei’ i rovay eo, ingo nanontom-pipìke ty vantotse vaho nitokava’e ami’ty hoe: Añandeso rano tsy ampeampe an-jonjòñe hinomeko.
So he got up and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the door of the town, he saw a widow woman getting sticks together; and crying out to her he said, Will you give me a little water in a vessel for my drink?
11 Ie nihitrike mb’eo le tinoka’e, nanao ty hoe: Ehe, añandeso pilipito-mofo an-taña’o.
And when she was going to get it, he said to her, And get me with it a small bit of bread.
12 Fe hoe re, Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, izaho tsy amam-bokoboko fa mona’e mahaàtsa-pitàñe raike am-batavo ao naho menake tsiampeampe an-jonjòñe ao; namory tsila-katae roe iraho anianikey hañalankañe aze ho ahy naho i anakoy hihinana’ay vaho hivetrake.
Then she said, By the life of the Lord your God, I have nothing but a little meal in my store, and a drop of oil in the bottle; and now I am getting two sticks together so that I may go in and make it ready for me and my son, so that we may have a meal before our death.
13 Le hoe t’i Elià ama’e: Ko hemban-drehe, akia, ano i sinaontsi’oy; f’ie anokono mofo kede heike, le azotsò, ie heneke, anokono ka nahareo miroanake,
And Elijah said to her, Have no fear; go and do as you have said, but first make me a little cake of it and come and give it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son.
14 ami’ty nafè’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele ty hoe: Tsy ho ritse ty vatavom-bò, vaho tsy ho kapaike ty zonjò-menak’ ampara’ ty andro irahe’ Iehovà orañe mb’ an-tane atoa.
For this is the word of the Lord, the God of Israel: The store of meal will not come to an end, and the bottle will never be without oil, till the day when the Lord sends rain on the earth.
15 Aa le nimb’eo re, hene nanoe’e i nisaontsia’ i Eliày naho nikama andro maro, ie naho i Elià, vaho i anjomba’ey.
So she went and did as Elijah said; and she and he and her family had food for a long time.
16 Tsy nilany ty vatavom-bò vaho tsy nikapaike ty zonjo-menake, ty amy tsara nampisaontsie’ Iehovà i Eliày.
The store of meal did not come to an end, and the bottle was never without oil, as the Lord had said by the mouth of Elijah.
17 Ie añe, le natindrin-kasilofañe ty ana’ i rakembay, le akore ty fanjekea’ i areteñey kanao tsy nahakofòke.
Now after this, the son of the woman of the house became ill, so ill that there was no breath in him.
18 Le hoe re amy Elià, Inoñ’ ama’o iraho, ry ondatin’ Añahareo? Nivotrak’ amako atoy hao irehe hampaniahiañ’ ahy o tahikoo, vaho hañoho-doza amy anakoy?
And she said to Elijah, What have I to do with you, O man of God? have you come to put God in mind of my sin, and to put my son to death?
19 Le hoe re ama’e: Atoloro ahy o ana’oo naho rinambe’e añ’araña’e naho nendese’e mb’ am-batsa am-pimoneña’e ao vaho nampandre’e am-pandrea’e.
And he said to her, Give your son to me. And lifting him out of her arms, he took him up to his room and put him down on his bed.
20 Nitoreove’e am’ Iehovà ty hoe: Ry Iehovà, Andrianañahareko, nametsaha’o hankàñe hao i vantotse añialoakoy, ie zinevo’o i ana’ey?
And crying to the Lord he said, O Lord my God, have you sent evil even on the widow whose guest I am, by causing her son's death?
21 Nihity in-telo ambone’ i ajajay re vaho nitoreo amy Iehovà, ami’ty hoe: Ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko, miambane ama’o, Ampolio ami’ty ajaja toy ty fiai’e.
And stretching herself out on the child three times, he made his prayer to the Lord, saying, O Lord my God, be pleased to let this child's life come back to him again.
22 Le hinao’ Iehovà ty fiarañanaña’ i Elià, naho nimpoly amy ajajay ty fiai’e vaho nisotrake.
And the Lord gave ear to the voice of Elijah, and the child's spirit came into him again, and he came back to life.
23 Rinambe’ i Elià i ajajay, le nazotso’e boak’ am-batsa ao mb’ añ’anjomba mb’eo, le natolo’e an-drene’e, le hoe t’i Elià; Ingo, veloñe o ana-dahi’oo.
And Elijah took the child down from his room into the house and gave him to his mother and said to her, See, your son is living.
24 Le hoe i rakembay amy Elià: Apotako henaneo t’ihe ro toe ondatin’ Añahare, vaho to ty tsara’ Iehovà am-palie’o.
Then the woman said to Elijah, Now I am certain that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is true.
