< Boqorradii Kowaad 17 >
1 Oo Eliiyaah oo ahaa reer Tishbii, oo ka mid ahaa kuwii Gilecaad degganaa ayaa Axaab ku yidhi, Waxaan Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil ee aan hortiisa taaganahay noloshiisa ugu dhaartay inaan dharab iyo roob midna sannadahan la arki doonin, sidaan leeyahay mooyaane.
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 Markaasaa haddana waxaa isagii u yimid Eraygii Rabbiga oo leh,
Then a revelation from the LORD came to Elijah:
3 Halkan ka tag, oo u leexo xagga bari, oo waxaad ku ag dhuumataa durdurka Keriid ee ku hor yaal Webi Urdun.
“Leave here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.
4 Oo waxaad ka cabbi doontaa durdurka, oo tukayaashana waan ku amray inay halkaas kugu quudiyaan.
And you are to drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
5 Sidaas daraaddeed wuu tegey, oo wuxuu yeelay sidii erayga Rabbigu ku yidhi, waayo, wuu tegey oo ag joogi jiray durdurka Keriid ee ku hor yaal Webi Urdun.
So Elijah did what the LORD had told him, and he went and lived by the Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.
6 Oo tukayaasha ayaa subaxdii u keeni jiray kibis iyo hilib, fiidkiina kibis iyo hilib, oo biyona durdurkuu ka cabbi jiray.
The ravens would bring him bread and meat in the morning and evening, and he would drink from the brook.
7 Oo in yar dabadeed ayaa durdurkii iska engegay, maxaa yeelay, dalku roob ma lahayn.
Some time later, however, the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land.
8 Markaasaa waxaa isagii u yimid Eraygii Rabbiga oo leh,
Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah:
9 Kac oo waxaad tagtaa Sarefta oo ay reer Siidoon leeyihiin, oo halkaas iska deg; oo bal eeg, naag carmal ah oo halkaas joogta waxaan ku amray inay ku quudiso.
“Get up and go to Zarephath of Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.”
10 Sidaas daraaddeed wuu kacay, oo wuxuu tegey Sarefta, oo markuu magaaladii iriddeedii yimid waxaa halkaas joogtay naag carmal ah oo xaabo guranaysa; oo intuu u yeedhay ayuu ku yidhi iyadii, Waan ku baryayaaye, wuxoogaa biyo ah weel iigu keen aan cabbee.
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 Oo markay u sii socotay inay u keento ayuu u yeedhay oo ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye waxaad gacanta iigu soo qaaddaa in yar oo kibis ah.
And as she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a piece of bread.”
12 Iyana waxay tidhi, Waxaan Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah noloshiisa ugu dhaartay inaanan kibis haysan innaba, laakiinse waxaan haystaa sacab muggiis oo jidhiidh ah oo weel ku jira, iyo in yar oo saliid ah oo kusad ku jirta, oo bal eeg, laba qori baan u guranayaa si aan intaan gurigayga galo ugu diyaariyo aniga iyo wiilkayga, dabadeedna aan cunno oo aan dhimannee.
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 Markaasaa Eliiyaah ku yidhi iyadii, Ha cabsane tag oo yeel sidaad tidhi, laakiinse marka hore ii soo samee in yar oo kibis ah oo ii keen, dabadeedna u samee adiga iyo wiilkaaga.
“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 Waayo, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Weelka jidhiidha ahu idlaan maayo, kusadda saliidda ahuna idin gabi mayso ilaa maalinta Rabbigu dhulka roob ku soo daayo.
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 Markaasay tagtay oo waxay yeeshay sidii Eliiyaah ku yidhi, oo iyadii iyo isagii iyo reerkeediiba maalmo badan bay wax cunayeen.
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 Oo weelkii jidhiidha ahaa ma uu idlaan, kusaddii saliidda ahaydna ma ay gabin, oo waxay ahaatay siduu ahaa eraygii Rabbigu u soo dhiibay Eliiyaah.
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 Oo waxyaalahaas dabadood ayaa naagtii guriga lahayd wiilkeedii bukooday, oo xataa neef keliyahu kuma hadhin, maxaa yeelay, bukaankiisu aad buu u xumaa.
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 Markaasay Eliiyaah ku tidhi, War nin yahow Ilaah, maxaa inoo dhexeeya? War ma waxaad iigu timid inaad dembigayga i soo xusuusisid oo aad wiilkayga dishid?
“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 Markaasuu ku yidhi, Naa bal wiilkaaga ii keen. Oo intuu isagii ka qaaday xabadkeedii ayuu kor ula baxay qowladdii uu isagu degganaa, oo wuxuu saaray sariirtiisii.
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 Markaasuu Rabbiga u qayshaday, oo ku yidhi, Rabbiyow, Ilaahayow, naagta carmalka ah oo aan la degganahay ma shar baad ku soo dejisay intaad wiilkeedii dishay?
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 Oo saddex jeer ayuu wiilka korkiisii isku kala bixiyey, oo intuu Rabbiga u qayshaday ayuu yidhi, Rabbiyow, Ilaahayow, waan ku baryayaaye, wiilkan naftiisii mar kale ha ku soo noqoto.
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 Markaasaa Rabbigu dhegaystay Eliiyaah codkiisii, oo yarka naftiisii mar kalay ku soo noqotay, wuuna soo noolaaday.
And the LORD listened to the voice of Elijah, and the child’s life returned to him, and he lived.
23 Dabadeedna Eliiyaah yarkii buu soo qaaday, oo intuu qowladdii ka soo dejiyey ayuu gurigii keenay, oo u dhiibay hooyadiis; wuxuuna Eliiyaah iyadii ku yidhi, Bal eeg, wiilkaagii waa nool yahaye.
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 Markaasaa naagtii waxay Eliiyaah ku tidhi, Haatan waan garanayaa inaad tahay nin Ilaah, iyo inuu run yahay erayga Ilaah oo afkaaga ku jira.
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.”
