1 Kraljevima 17
1 Tada reèe Ahavu Ilija Tesviæanin, jedan od naseljenika Galadskih: tako da je živ Gospod Bog Izrailjev, pred kojim stojim, ovijeh godina neæe biti rose ni dažda dokle ja ne reèem.
Now Elijah the Tishbite, who was among the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As surely as the LORD lives—the God of Israel before whom I stand—there will be neither dew nor rain in these years except at my word!”
2 Potom doðe njemu rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
Then a revelation from the LORD came to Elijah:
3 Idi odavde, i obrati se na istok, i sakrij se kod potoka Horata prema Jordanu.
“Leave here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.
4 I iz onoga potoka pij, a gavranima sam zapovjedio da te hrane ondje.
And you are to drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
5 I on otide i uèini po rijeèi Gospodnjoj, i otišav stani se kod potoka Horata, koji je prema Jordanu.
So Elijah did what the LORD had told him, and he went and lived by the Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.
6 I ondje mu gavrani donošahu hljeba i mesa jutrom i veèerom, a iz potoka pijaše.
The ravens would bring him bread and meat in the morning and evening, and he would drink from the brook.
7 Ali poslije godinu dana presahnu potok, jer ne bješe dažda u zemlji.
Some time later, however, the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land.
8 Tada doðe njemu rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah:
9 Ustani, idi u Sareptu Sidonsku, i sjedi ondje; evo zapovjedio sam ondje ženi udovici da te hrani.
“Get up and go to Zarephath of Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.”
10 I ustavši otide u Sareptu; i kad doðe na vrata gradska, gle, žena udovica kupljaše ondje drva; i on je dozva i reèe joj: donesi mi malo vode u sudu da se napijem.
So Elijah got up and went to Zarephath. When he arrived at the city gate, there was a widow gathering sticks. Elijah called to her and said, “Please bring me a little water in a cup, so that I may drink.”
11 I ona poðe da donese; a on je viknu i reèe: donesi mi i hljeba malo.
And as she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a piece of bread.”
12 A ona reèe: tako da je živ Gospod Bog tvoj, nemam peèena hljeba do grst brašna u zdjeli i malo ulja u krèagu; i eto kupim drvaca da otidem i zgotovim sebi i sinu svojemu, da pojedemo, pa onda da umremo.
But she replied, “As surely as the LORD your God lives, I have no bread—only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. Look, I am gathering a couple of sticks to take home and prepare a meal for myself and my son, so that we may eat it and die.”
13 A Ilija joj reèe: ne boj se, idi, zgotovi kako si rekla; ali umijesi prvo meni jedan kolaèiæ od toga, i donesi mi, pa poslije gotovi sebi i sinu svojemu.
“Do not be afraid,” Elijah said to her. “Go and do as you have said. But first make me a small cake of bread from what you have, and bring it out to me. Afterward, make some for yourself and your son,
14 Jer ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: brašno se iz zdjele neæe potrošiti niti æe ulja u krèagu nestati dokle ne pusti Gospod dažda na zemlju.
for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour will not be exhausted and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the LORD sends rain upon the face of the earth.’”
15 I ona otide i uèini kako reèe Ilija; i jede i ona i on i dom njezin godinu dana;
So she went and did according to the word of Elijah, and there was food every day for Elijah and the woman and her household.
16 Brašno se iz zdjele ne potroši niti ulja u krèagu nesta po rijeèi Gospodnjoj, koju reèe preko Ilije.
The jar of flour was not exhausted and the jug of oil did not run dry, according to the word that the LORD had spoken through Elijah.
17 A poslije toga razbolje se sin ženi domaæici, i bolest njegova bi vrlo teška, tako da izdahnu.
Later, the son of the woman who owned the house became ill, and his sickness grew worse and worse, until no breath remained in him.
18 I ona reèe Iliji: šta je tebi do mene, èovjeèe Božji? Jesi li došao k meni da spomeneš bezakonje moje i da mi umoriš sina?
“O man of God,” said the woman to Elijah, “what have you done to me? Have you come to remind me of my iniquity and cause the death of my son?”
19 A on joj reèe: daj mi sina svojega. I uzev ga iz naruèja njezina odnese ga u gornju klijet, gdje on sjeðaše, i položi ga na postelju svoju.
But Elijah said to her, “Give me your son.” So he took him from her arms, carried him to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on his own bed.
20 Tada zavapi ka Gospodu i reèe: Gospode Bože moj, zar si i ovu udovicu kod koje sam gost tako ucvijelio umorivši joj sina?
Then he cried out to the LORD, “O LORD my God, have You also brought tragedy on this widow who has opened her home to me, by causing her son to die?”
21 I pruživ se nad djetetom tri puta zavapi ka Gospodu govoreæi: Gospode Bože moj, neka se povrati u dijete duša njegova.
Then he stretched himself out over the child three times and cried out to the LORD, “O LORD my God, please let this boy’s life return to him!”
22 I Gospod usliši glas Ilijin, te se povrati u dijete duša njegova, i oživje.
And the LORD listened to the voice of Elijah, and the child’s life returned to him, and he lived.
23 A Ilija uzev dijete snese ga iz gornje klijeti u kuæu, i dade ga materi njegovoj, i reèe Ilija: vidi, živ je tvoj sin.
Then Elijah took the child, brought him down from the upper room into the house, and gave him to his mother. “Look, your son is alive,” Elijah declared.
24 A žena reèe Iliji: sada znam da si èovjek Božji i da je rijeè Gospodnja u tvojim ustima istina.
Then the woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of the LORD from your mouth is truth.”
