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 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 Dubbiin Waaqayyoos akkana jedhee gara Eeliyaas dhufe;
And the word of the LORD came to him, saying,
3 “Asii deemiitii gara baʼa biiftuutti qajeelii Laga Keriit kan gama baʼa Yordaanositti argamu keessa dhokadhu.
Depart hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, 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] thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed 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 to the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that [is] 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 bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.
7 Yeroo gabaabaa booddee sababii biyya sana keessa roobni hin jiraatiniif lagichis ni goge.
And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
8 Kana irratti dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara isaa dhufe;
And the word of the LORD came to 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.”
Arise, go to Zarephath, which [belongeth] to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain 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 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 Akkuma isheen bishaan fiduuf deemuu jalqabdeenis ishee waamee, “Maaloo buddeena xinnaa isaa illee naa fidi” jedheen.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Isheenis dhaqxee akkuma Eeliyaas jedheen sana goote. Kanaafuu Eeliyaas, dubartiin sunii fi maatiin ishee guyyaa baayʼee nyaatan.
And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat [many] days.
16 Akkuma dubbii Waaqayyoo kan inni karaa Eeliyaasiin dubbate sanaatti daakuun okkotee keessaa hin dhumne; zayitiinis cuggee keessaa hin dhumne.
[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 Ergasiis ilmi haadha mana sanaa ni dhukkubsate. Dhukkubni isaas ittuma jabaachaa deemee dhuma irratti hafuura baafachuu dadhabe.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Waaqayyos iyya Eeliyaas ni dhagaʼe; lubbuun mucaa sanaas itti deebite; innis ni jiraate.
And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
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 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 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 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.
