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.
Elijah the Tishbite, who was one of the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.”
2 Le niheo ama’e ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
Then Yahweh’s word 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 brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.
4 le hinoñe amy torahañey irehe vaho fa liniliko o koàkeo ty hamahañe azo.
You shall drink from the brook. 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 Yahweh’s word, for he went and lived by the brook Cherith that is before the Jordan.
6 Ninday mofo naho hena ama’e boa-maraiñe o koàkeo naho mofo naho hena te hariva, ie ninoñe an-torahañe ao.
The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook.
7 Ie añe nimaike i torahañey amy te tsy niavy orañe i taney.
After a while, the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
8 Aa le niheo ama’e ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
Yahweh’s word 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. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain 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 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 Ie nihitrike mb’eo le tinoka’e, nanao ty hoe: Ehe, añandeso pilipito-mofo an-taña’o.
As she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a morsel 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 Yahweh 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 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,
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 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 Yahweh, 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 Yahweh 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.
She went and did according to the saying of Elijah; and she, he, and her household ate many days.
16 Tsy nilany ty vatavom-bò vaho tsy nikapaike ty zonjo-menake, ty amy tsara nampisaontsie’ Iehovà i Eliày.
The jar of meal didn’t run out and the jar of oil didn’t fail, according to Yahweh’s word, which he spoke by Elijah.
17 Ie añe, le natindrin-kasilofañe ty ana’ i rakembay, le akore ty fanjekea’ i areteñey kanao tsy nahakofòke.
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 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?
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 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.
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 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 Yahweh and said, “Yahweh my God, have you also brought evil on the widow with whom I am staying, 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.
He stretched himself on the child three times, and cried to Yahweh and said, “Yahweh 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.
Yahweh 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.
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 Le hoe i rakembay amy Elià: Apotako henaneo t’ihe ro toe ondatin’ Añahare, vaho to ty tsara’ Iehovà am-palie’o.
The woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that Yahweh’s word in your mouth is truth.”
