१ राजाहरू 17
1 गिलादको तिश्बेका तिश्बी एलियाले आहाबलाई भने, “इस्राएलका परमेश्वर परमप्रभु जसको सामु म खडा छु, उहाँको नाउँमा म भन्दछु कि मैले नभनेसम्म पानी पर्ने छैन वा शीत पर्ने छैन ।”
And EliYah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As YHWH Elohim of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.
2 परमप्रभुको वचन एलियाकहाँ आयो,
And the word of YHWH came unto him, saying,
3 “यस ठाउँलाई छाडेर पूर्वतिर जा । यर्दनको पूर्वमा पर्ने करीत खोलामा लुकेर बस् ।
Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
4 तैँले त्यही खोलाबाट पानी पिउने छस्, र मैले तँलाई खुवाउन कागहरूलाइ आज्ञा गरेको छु ।”
And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
5 एलिया गए, र परमप्रभुले आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ तिनले गरे । तिनी यर्दनको पूर्वमा पर्ने केरीत खोलानेर बस्न गए ।
So he went and did according unto the word of YHWH: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
6 कागहरूले तिनलाई बिहान र बेलुका रोटी र मासु ल्याए, अनि तिनले खोलाबाट पानी पिए ।
And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.
7 तर देशमा पानी नपरेकोले केही समय बितेपछि खोला सुक्यो ।
And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
8 परमप्रभुको वचन तिनीकहाँ आयो,
And the word of YHWH came unto him, saying,
9 “उठेर सीदोनको सारपातमा जा, र त्यही बस् । हेर्, तेरो खानाको बन्दोवस्त मिलाउन मैले त्यहाँ एउटी विधवालाई आज्ञा दिएको छु ।”
Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.
10 त्यसैले तिनी उठेर सारपातमा गए । तिनी सहरको मुल ढोकामा आइपुग्दा एउटी विधवाले दाउरा बटुल्दै थिइन् । तिनले उनलाई डाकेर भने, “मलाई पिउनलाई यो भाँडोमा थोरै पानी ल्याइदिनुहुन्छ कि?”
So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
11 उनी पानी लिन जाँदै गर्दा तिनले उनलाई भने, “तपाईंको हातमा रोटीको टुक्रा पनि ल्याइदिनुहोस् ।”
And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.
12 उनले भनिन्, “परमप्रभु तपाईंका परमेश्वरको नाउँमा म भन्दछु, कि मसित कुनै रोटी छैन, तर भाँडामा एक मुट्ठी पिठो र ढुङ्ग्रोमा अलकति तेल छ । हेर्नुहोस्, म र मेरो छोरोको लागि खाना बनाई खाएर हामी नमरूँ भनी मैले दुईचार टुक्रा दाउरा बटुल्दै छु ।”
And she said, As YHWH thy Elohim liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
13 एलियाले उनलाई भने, “नडराऊ । गएर मैले भनेझैँ गर, तर पहिले मेरो निम्ति सानो रोटी बनाएर ल्याऊ । त्यसपछि तिमी र तिम्रो छोरोको निम्ती केही रोटी बनाऊ ।
And EliYah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.
14 किनकि इस्राएलका परमेश्वर परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, 'परमप्रभुले पृथ्वीमा वृष्टि नपठाउञ्जेलसम्म पिठोको भाँडो रित्तो हुने छैन, न त ढुङ्ग्रोबाट तेल आउन रोकिने छ ।”
For thus saith YHWH Elohim of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that YHWH sendeth rain upon the earth.
15 त्यसैले उनले एलियाले भनेझैँ गरिन् । उनी र एलियालगायत उनको घरानाले धेरै दिनसम्म खाए ।
And she went and did according to the saying of EliYah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.
16 परमप्रभुले एलियाद्वारा बोल्नुभएको वचनले भनेझैँ पिठोको भाँडो रित्तो भएन, न त ढुङ्ग्रोबाट तेल आउन रोकियो ।
And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of YHWH, which he spake by EliYah.
17 यी कुरापछि ती स्त्री अर्थात् त्यस घरको मालिक्नीको छोरो बिरामी पर्यो । त्यसको रोग यति गम्भीर थियो कि त्यसले सास फेर्नै छोड्यो ।
And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him.
18 त्यसैले त्यसकी आमाले एलियालाई भनिन्, “हे परमेश्वरका जन, मेरो विरुद्धमा तपाईंसित के छ? के तपाईं मेरो पापलाई स्मरण गराई मेरो छोरोलाई मार्न आउनुभएको हो?”
And she said unto EliYah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of Elohim? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?
19 तब एलियाले उनलाई जवाफ दिए, “तपाईंको छोरो मलाई दिनुहोस् ।” तिनले उनका पाखुराबाट शरीरलाई लिई आफू बसेको कोठामा लगे, र आफ्नै ओछ्यानमा सुताए ।
And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.
20 तिनले परमप्रभुलाई पुकारे, “हे परमप्रभु मेरा परमेश्वर, के तपाईंले म जुन विधवासित बसिरहेको छु, उनको छोरोलाई मारेर उनीमाथि विपत्ति ल्याउनुभएको हो?”
And he cried unto YHWH, and said, O YHWH my Elohim, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?
21 त्यसपछि एलिया त्यस बालकमाथि तिन पटक लम्पसार परेर सुते । तिनले परमप्रभुलाई पुकारे, “हे परमप्रभु मेरा परमेश्वर, यो बालकको जीवन फर्कोस् भनी म तपाईंलाई बिन्ती गर्दछु ।”
And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto YHWH, and said, O YHWH my Elohim, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again.
22 परमप्रभुले एलियाको कुरा सुन्नुभयो । बालकको जीवन फर्केर आयो र त्यो जीवित भयो ।
And YHWH heard the voice of EliYah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
23 एलियाले बालकलाई लिई कोठाबाट बाहिर ल्याए । बालकलाई त्यसकी आमाको जिम्मा लगाएर तिनले भने, “हेर, तिम्रो छोरो बाँचेको छ ।”
And EliYah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and EliYah said, See, thy son liveth.
24 ती स्त्रीले एलियालाई भनिन्, “अब मलाई थाहा भयो, कि तपाईं परमेश्वरका जन हुनुहुँदोरहेछ र तपाईंको बोलीमा भएको परमप्रभुको वचन तपाईंको मुखमा साँचो रहेछ ।”
And the woman said to EliYah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of Elohim, and that the word of YHWH in thy mouth is truth.
