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 Elijah the Tishbite [who was] of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, [As] the LORD God 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 the LORD came to him, saying,
3 “यस ठाउँलाई छाडेर पूर्वतिर जा । यर्दनको पूर्वमा पर्ने करीत खोलामा लुकेर बस् ।
Depart 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 to the word of the LORD: 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 the LORD came to him, saying,
9 “उठेर सीदोनको सारपातमा जा, र त्यही बस् । हेर्, तेरो खानाको बन्दोवस्त मिलाउन मैले त्यहाँ एउटी विधवालाई आज्ञा दिएको छु ।”
Arise, go 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 sticks: and he called to her, and said, Bring 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 bring [it], he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thy 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] the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but a 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 Elijah said to her, Fear not; go [and] do as thou hast said: but make me of it a little cake first, and bring [it] to me, and afterward 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 the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day [that] the LORD 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 Elijah: 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 the LORD, which he spoke by Elijah.
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 severe, 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 to Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come to 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 to 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 to the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, 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 to the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, 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 the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; 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 Elijah took the child, and brought him down from the chamber into the house, and delivered him to his mother: and Elijah 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 Elijah, Now by this I know that thou [art] a man of God, [and] that the word of the LORD in thy mouth [is] truth.
