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.
And Elias the Thesbite of the inhabitants of Galaad said to Achab: As the Lord liveth the God of Israel, in whose sight I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to the words of my mouth.
2 Potom doðe njemu rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
And the word of the Lord came to him, saying:
3 Idi odavde, i obrati se na istok, i sakrij se kod potoka Horata prema Jordanu.
Get thee hence, and go towards the east and hide thyself by the torrent of Carith, which is over against the Jordan,
4 I iz onoga potoka pij, a gavranima sam zapovjedio da te hrane ondje.
And there thou shalt drink of the torrent: and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
5 I on otide i uèini po rijeèi Gospodnjoj, i otišav stani se kod potoka Horata, koji je prema Jordanu.
So he went, and did according to the word of the Lord: and going, he dwelt by the torrent Carith, which is over against the Jordan.
6 I ondje mu gavrani donošahu hljeba i mesa jutrom i veèerom, a iz potoka pijaše.
And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening, and he drank of tile torrent.
7 Ali poslije godinu dana presahnu potok, jer ne bješe dažda u zemlji.
But after some time the torrent was dried up, for it had not rained upon the earth.
8 Tada doðe njemu rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying:
9 Ustani, idi u Sareptu Sidonsku, i sjedi ondje; evo zapovjedio sam ondje ženi udovici da te hrani.
Arise, and go to Sarephta of the Sidonians, and dwell there: for I have commanded a widow woman there to feed thee.
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.
He arose, and went to Sarephta. And when he was come to the gate of the city, he saw the widow woman gathering sticks, and he called her, and said to her: Give me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
11 I ona poðe da donese; a on je viknu i reèe: donesi mi i hljeba malo.
And when she was going to fetch it he called after her, saying: Bring me also, I beseech thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand.
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.
And she answered: As the Lord thy God liveth, I have no bread, but only a handful of meal in a pot, and a little oil in a cruse: 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 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.
And Elias said to her: Fear not, but go, and do as thou hast said: but first make for me of the same meal a little hearth cake, and bring it to me: and after make for thyself and thy 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 thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: The pot of meal shall not waste, nor the cruse of oil be diminished, until the day wherein the Lord will give 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;
She went and did according to the word of Elias: and he ate, and she, and her house: and from that day
16 Brašno se iz zdjele ne potroši niti ulja u krèagu nesta po rijeèi Gospodnjoj, koju reèe preko Ilije.
The pot of meal wasted not, and the cruse of oil was not diminished, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke in the hand of Elias.
17 A poslije toga razbolje se sin ženi domaæici, i bolest njegova bi vrlo teška, tako da izdahnu.
And it came to pass after this that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick, and the sickness was very grievous, so that there was no breath left 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?
And she said to Elias: What have I to do with thee, thou man of God? art thou come to me that my iniquities should be remembered, and that thou shouldst kill 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.
And Elias said to her: Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him into the upper chamber where he abode, and laid him upon 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?
And he cried to the Lord, and said: O Lord my God, hast thou afflicted also the widow, with whom I am after a so maintained, so as to kill her son?
21 I pruživ se nad djetetom tri puta zavapi ka Gospodu govoreæi: Gospode Bože moj, neka se povrati u dijete duša njegova.
And he stretched, and measured himself upon the child three times, and cried to the Lord, and said: O Lord my God, let the soul of this child, I beseech thee, return into his body.
22 I Gospod usliši glas Ilijin, te se povrati u dijete duša njegova, i oživje.
And the Lord heard the voice of Elias: and the soul of the child returned into him, and he revived.
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.
And Elias took the child, and brought him down from the upper chamber to the house below, and delivered him to his mother, and said to her: Behold thy son liveth.
24 A žena reèe Iliji: sada znam da si èovjek Božji i da je rijeè Gospodnja u tvojim ustima istina.
And the woman said to Elias: Now, by this I know that thou art a man of God, and the word of the Lord in thy mouth is true.
