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 the inhabitants 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, except by my word."
2 Le niheo ama’e ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
And 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 away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Wadi Cherith, that is near the Jordan.
4 le hinoñe amy torahañey irehe vaho fa liniliko o koàkeo ty hamahañe azo.
And it shall be that you will drink from the wadi. I have commanded the ravens to feed you there."
5 Aa le nimb’eo re nanao i nitsarae’ Iehovày, nañialo añ’ olo’ i Kerite atiñana’ Iordaneiy.
So he went and did according to the word of the LORD; for he went and lived by the Wadi Cherith, that is near the 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 brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening. And he drank from the wadi.
7 Ie añe nimaike i torahañey amy te tsy niavy orañe i taney.
And it happened after a while that the wadi dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
8 Aa le niheo ama’e ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
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.
"Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Look, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you."
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 gate of the city, look, a widow was there gathering wood. And he called to her, and said, "Please bring me a little water in a pitcher, that I may drink."
11 Ie nihitrike mb’eo le tinoka’e, nanao ty hoe: Ehe, añandeso pilipito-mofo an-taña’o.
And as she was going to get it, he called to her, and said, "Please bring me a piece of bread in your hand."
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.
She said, "As the LORD your God lives, I do not have anything baked, except a handful of flour in a jar, and a little oil in a jug. Look, I am gathering a couple of sticks, that I may go in and bake it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die."
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, "Do not be afraid. Go and do as you have said. But make me of it a little cake first, and bring it out to me, and afterward make some for yourself and for 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 thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'The jar of flour shall not empty, neither shall the jug of oil be empty, until the day that the LORD sends rain on the surface of the land.'"
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.
And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah. And she, and he, and her household, ate for a long time.
16 Tsy nilany ty vatavom-bò vaho tsy nikapaike ty zonjo-menake, ty amy tsara nampisaontsie’ Iehovà i Eliày.
The jar of flour did not empty, neither did the jug of oil become empty, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by Elijah.
17 Ie añe, le natindrin-kasilofañe ty ana’ i rakembay, le akore ty fanjekea’ i areteñey kanao tsy nahakofòke.
It happened after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick. And his illness was so severe that there was no breath left 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 do we have in common, O man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to memory, and to kill my son."
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 me your son." And he took him out of her lap and carried him up into the room where he stayed, and laid him on his own bed.
20 Nitoreove’e am’ Iehovà ty hoe: Ry Iehovà, Andrianañahareko, nametsaha’o hankàñe hao i vantotse añialoakoy, ie zinevo’o i ana’ey?
He cried to the LORD, and said, "LORD my God, have you also brought disaster on the widow with whom I sojourn, by killing her son?"
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 he stretched himself upon the child three times, and called out to the LORD, and said, "LORD my God, please let this child's soul come into him again."
22 Le hinao’ Iehovà ty fiarañanaña’ i Elià, naho nimpoly amy ajajay ty fiai’e vaho nisotrake.
The LORD listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
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 and brought him down out of the room into the house and gave him to his mother. And Elijah said, "See, your son lives."
24 Le hoe i rakembay amy Elià: Apotako henaneo t’ihe ro toe ondatin’ Añahare, vaho to ty tsara’ Iehovà am-palie’o.
And the woman said to Elijah, "Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of the LORD in your mouth is the truth."
