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 Eliu the prophet, the Thesbite of Thesbae of Galaad, said to Achaab, As the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be these years dew nor rain, except by the word of my mouth.
2 Dubbiin Waaqayyoos akkana jedhee gara Eeliyaas dhufe;
And the word of the Lord came to Eliu, [saying],
3 “Asii deemiitii gara baʼa biiftuutti qajeelii Laga Keriit kan gama baʼa Yordaanositti argamu keessa dhokadhu.
Depart hence eastward, and hide you by the brook of Chorrath, that is before Jordan.
4 Ati Laga sana keessaa bishaan ni dhugda; anis akka isaan achitti si sooraniif arraageyyii ajajeera.”
And it shall be [that] you shall drink water of the brook, and I will charge the ravens to feed you there.
5 Kanaafuu inni dhaqee waan Waaqayyo isa ajaje sana godhe. Gara Laga Keriit kan gara baʼa Yordaanositti argamu sanaas deemee achi jiraate.
And Eliu did according to the word of the Lord, and he sat by the brook of Chorrath before Jordan.
6 Arraageyyiinis ganama ganama buddeenaa fi foon, galgala galgalas buddeenaa fi foon fidaafii turan; innis bishaan Laga sanaa dhuga ture.
And the ravens brought him loaves in the morning, and flesh in the evening and he drank water of the brook.
7 Yeroo gabaabaa booddee sababii biyya sana keessa roobni hin jiraatiniif lagichis ni goge.
And it came to pass after some time, that the brook was dried up, because there had been no rain upon the earth.
8 Kana irratti dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara isaa dhufe;
And the word of the Lord came to Eliu, [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.”
Arise, and go to Sarepta of the Sidonian [land]: behold, I have there commanded a widow-woman to maintain you.
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.
And he arose and went to Sarepta, and came to the gate of the city: and, behold, a widow-woman was there gathering sticks; and Eliu cried after her, and said to her, Fetch me, I pray you, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
11 Akkuma isheen bishaan fiduuf deemuu jalqabdeenis ishee waamee, “Maaloo buddeena xinnaa isaa illee naa fidi” jedheen.
And she went to fetch it; and Eliu cried after her, and said, Bring me, I pray you, a morsel of the bread that is in your 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 the woman said, [As] the Lord your God lives, I have not a cake, but only a handful of meal in the pitcher, and a little oil in a cruse, and, behold, I am going to gather two sticks, and I shall go in and dress it for myself and my children, and we shall eat it and die.
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 Eliu said to her, Be of good courage, go in and do according to your word: but make me thereof a little cake, and you shall bring [it] out to me first, and you shall make [some] for yourself and your children last.
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 says the Lord, The pitcher of meal shall not fail, and the cruse of oil shall not diminish, until the day that the Lord gives rain upon the earth.
15 Isheenis dhaqxee akkuma Eeliyaas jedheen sana goote. Kanaafuu Eeliyaas, dubartiin sunii fi maatiin ishee guyyaa baayʼee nyaatan.
And the woman went and did [so], and did eat, she, and he, and her children.
16 Akkuma dubbii Waaqayyoo kan inni karaa Eeliyaasiin dubbate sanaatti daakuun okkotee keessaa hin dhumne; zayitiinis cuggee keessaa hin dhumne.
And the pitcher of meal failed not, and the cruse of oil was not diminished, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by the hand of Eliu.
17 Ergasiis ilmi haadha mana sanaa ni dhukkubsate. Dhukkubni isaas ittuma jabaachaa deemee dhuma irratti hafuura baafachuu dadhabe.
And it came to pass afterward, that the son of the woman the mistress of the house was sick; and his sickness was very severe, until 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 to Eliu, What have I to do with you, O man of God? have you come in to me to bring my sins to remembrance, and to kill my son?
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 Eliu said to the woman, Give me your son. And he took him out of her bosom, and took him up to the chamber in which he himself lodged, and laid him on the 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.
And Eliu cried aloud, and said, Alas, O Lord, the witness of the widow with whom I sojourn, you have wrought evil [for her] in slaying her son.
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 breathed on the child thrice, and called on the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, let, I pray you, the soul of this child return to him.
22 Waaqayyos iyya Eeliyaas ni dhagaʼe; lubbuun mucaa sanaas itti deebite; innis ni jiraate.
And it was so, and the child cried out,
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 he brought him down from the upper chamber into the house, and gave him to his mother; and Eliu said, See, your son lives.
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 said to Eliu, Behold, I know that you [are] a man of God, and the word of the Lord in your mouth [is] true.
