1 Mootota 17
1 Eeliyaas namichi Tishbii kan biyya Giliʼaad keessaa magaalaa Tishbiitii dhufe tokko Ahaabiin akkana jedhe; “Dhugaa Waaqa Israaʼel, Waaqayyo jiraataa ani isa tajaajilu sanaa! Yoo ani dubbadhe malee waggoota muraasa dhufan keessa fixeensi yookaan bokkaan hin jiraatu.”
And Eliiah the Tishbite one of the inhabitats of Gilead sayde vnto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liueth, before whom I stand, there shall be neither dewe nor rayne these yeeres, but according to my worde.
2 Dubbiin Waaqayyoos akkana jedhee gara Eeliyaas dhufe;
And the worde of the Lord came vnto him, saying,
3 “Asii deemiitii gara baʼa biiftuutti qajeelii Laga Keriit kan gama baʼa Yordaanositti argamu keessa dhokadhu.
Go hence, and turne thee Eastwarde, and hide thy selfe in the riuer Cherith, that is ouer against Iorden,
4 Ati Laga sana keessaa bishaan ni dhugda; anis akka isaan achitti si sooraniif arraageyyii ajajeera.”
And thou shalt drinke of the riuer: and I haue comanded the rauens to feede thee there.
5 Kanaafuu inni dhaqee waan Waaqayyo isa ajaje sana godhe. Gara Laga Keriit kan gara baʼa Yordaanositti argamu sanaas deemee achi jiraate.
So he went and did according vnto the word of the Lord: for he went, and remained by the riuer Cherith that is ouer against Iorden.
6 Arraageyyiinis ganama ganama buddeenaa fi foon, galgala galgalas buddeenaa fi foon fidaafii turan; innis bishaan Laga sanaa dhuga ture.
And the rauens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the euening, and he dranke of the riuer.
7 Yeroo gabaabaa booddee sababii biyya sana keessa roobni hin jiraatiniif lagichis ni goge.
And after a while the riuer dryed vp, because there fell no rayne vpon the earth.
8 Kana irratti dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara isaa dhufe;
And the worde of the Lord came vnto him, saying,
9 “Dafii gara Saraaphtaa Siidoonaa keessatti argamtu sanaa dhaqiitii achi jiraadhu. Ani akka isheen waan ati nyaattu siif kennituuf haadha hiyyeessaa tokko achitti ajajeeraa.”
Vp, and get thee to Zarephath, which is in Zidon, and remaine there: beholde, I haue commanded a widow there to sustaine thee.
10 Kanaafuu inni kaʼee Saraaphtaa dhaqe. Yommuu inni karra magaalaa sanaa bira gaʼetti haati hiyyeessaa tokko qoraan funaannachaa turte. Innis ishee waamee, “Maaloo akka ani dhuguuf bishaan xinnoo naa fidi” jedheen.
So he arose, and went to Zarephath: and when he came to the gate of the citie, beholde, the widowe was there gathering stickes: and he called her, and sayde, Bring me, I pray thee, a litle water in a vessel, that I may drinke.
11 Akkuma isheen bishaan fiduuf deemuu jalqabdeenis ishee waamee, “Maaloo buddeena xinnaa isaa illee naa fidi” jedheen.
And as she was going to fet it, he called to her, and sayde, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsell of bread in thine hand.
12 Isheen immoo akkana jettee deebifte; “Dhugaa Waaqayyo Waaqa kee jiraataa sanaa, ani daakuu konyee tokkittii okkotee keessa jirtuu fi zayitii xinnoo kubbaayyaa keessa jirtu tokko malee buddeena tokko illee hin qabu. Ani akka nu nyaannee duunuuf manatti galee ofii kootii fi ilma kootiif nyaata qopheessuuf jedhee qoraan funaannachaan jira.”
And shee sayde, As the Lord thy God liueth, I haue not a cake, but euen an handfull of meale in a barrel, and a litle oyle in a cruse: and behold, I am gathering a fewe stickes for to go in, and dresse it for me and my sonne, that we may eate it, and dye.
13 Eeliyaasis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Hin sodaatin. Galiitii akkuma jette sana godhi. Jalqabatti garuu waanuma qabdu sana irraa Maxinoo xinnaa isaa tolchii naa fidi; ergasii immoo ofii keetii fi mucaa keetiif qopheessi.
And Eliiah said vnto her, Feare not, come, do as thou hast sayd, but make me thereof a litle cake first of all, and bring it vnto mee, and afterward make for thee, and thy sonne.
14 Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedhaatii; ‘Hamma guyyaa Waaqayyo lafa irratti bokkaa roobsuutti daakuun okkotee keessaa hin dhumu; zayitiinis cuggee keessaa hin dhumu.’”
For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The meale in the barrel shall not be wasted, neither shall the oyle in the cruse be diminished, vnto the time that the Lord send rayne vpon the earth.
15 Isheenis dhaqxee akkuma Eeliyaas jedheen sana goote. Kanaafuu Eeliyaas, dubartiin sunii fi maatiin ishee guyyaa baayʼee nyaatan.
So she went, and did as Eliiah sayd, and she did eate: so did he and her house for a certaine time.
16 Akkuma dubbii Waaqayyoo kan inni karaa Eeliyaasiin dubbate sanaatti daakuun okkotee keessaa hin dhumne; zayitiinis cuggee keessaa hin dhumne.
The barrell of the meale wasted not, nor the oyle was spent out of the cruse, according to the worde of the Lord, which he spake by the hand of Eliiah.
17 Ergasiis ilmi haadha mana sanaa ni dhukkubsate. Dhukkubni isaas ittuma jabaachaa deemee dhuma irratti hafuura baafachuu dadhabe.
And after these things, the sonne of the wife of the house fell sicke, and his sicknesse was so sore, that there was no breath left in him.
18 Isheenis Eeliyaasiin, “Yaa nama Waaqaa, ati hammina maalii narraa qabda? Ati waaʼee cubbuu koo na yaadachiiftee ilma koo ajjeesuuf dhuftee?” jette.
And she said vnto Eliiah, What haue I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come vnto me to call my sinne to remembrance, and to slay my sonne?
19 Eeliyaas immoo, “Mee ilma kee natti kenni” jedheen. Innis harka isheetii fuudhee baatee kutaa manaa kan ol aanu iddoo ofii jiraatutti geessee siree isaa irra isa ciibse.
And he said vnto her, Giue me thy sonne. and he tooke him out of her bosome, and caryed him vp into a chamber, where he abode, and laid him vpon his owne bed.
20 Ergasii inni, “Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, ati akka mucaan ishee duʼu gochuudhaan haadha hiyyeessaa kan ani gargaarsa isheetiin jiraadhu kanatti illee rakkoo fiddee?” jedhee gara Waaqayyootti iyye.
Then he called vnto the Lord, and sayde, O Lord my God, hast thou punished also this widowe, with whome I soiourne, by killing her sonne?
21 Innis yeroo sadii mucaa sana irratti diriiree, “Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, mucaa kana lubbuun isaa itti haa deebitu” jedhee gara Waaqayyootti iyye.
And he stretched himselfe vpon the childe three times, and called vnto the Lord, and saide, O Lord my God, I pray thee, let this childes soule come into him againe.
22 Waaqayyos iyya Eeliyaas ni dhagaʼe; lubbuun mucaa sanaas itti deebite; innis ni jiraate.
Then the Lord heard the voyce of Eliiah, and the soule of the child came into him againe, and he reuiued.
23 Eeliyaasis mucaa sana baatee kutaa ol aanu sana keessaa gad buusee gara manaatti isa geesse. Haadha isaattis isa kennee, “Kunoo mucaan kee jira!” jedheen.
And Eliiah tooke the childe, and brought him downe out of the chamber into the house, and deliuered him vnto his mother, and Eliiah sayd, Behold, thy sonne liueth.
24 Kana irratti dubartiin sun Eeliyaasiin, “Ani amma akka ati nama Waaqaa taatee fi akka dubbiin Waaqayyoo kan afaan keetii baʼu dhugaa taʼe beekeera” jette.
And the woman saide vnto Eliiah, Now I knowe that thou art a man of God, and that the worde of the Lord in thy mouth is true.
