1 Kings 17
1 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.
Yon pwofèt yo te rele Eli, moun lavil Tichbe nan zòn Galarad, di wa Akab konsa: -Nan non Seyè m'ap sèvi a, Bondye vivan pèp Izrayèl la, men sa m'ap di ou: Pandan lanne k'ap vini yo, p'ap gen lawouze, p'ap gen lapli si se pa mwen ki mande sa.
2 And the word of the Lord came to him, saying:
Apre sa, Seyè a pale ak Eli, li di l' konsa:
3 Get thee hence, and go towards the east and hide thyself by the torrent of Carith, which is over against the Jordan,
-Kite kote ou ye a, ale nan direksyon solèy leve. Al kache toupre ravin Kerit la ki sou bò solèy leve larivyè Jouden.
4 And there thou shalt drink of the torrent: and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
W'a jwenn dlo nan ravin lan pou ou bwè. Mwen bay kaou yo lòd pou yo pote manje ba ou.
5 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.
Eli fè sa Seyè a te di l' fè a. Li pati, l' al rete toupre ravin Kerit la.
6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening, and he drank of tile torrent.
Kaou yo pote pen ak vyann pou li chak maten, chak aswè. Li te jwenn dlo pou l' bwè nan ravin lan.
7 But after some time the torrent was dried up, for it had not rained upon the earth.
Kèk tan apre sa, ravin lan vin chèch, paske lapli pa t' tonbe nan peyi a.
8 Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying:
Lè sa a, Seyè a pale ak Eli, li di l' konsa:
9 Arise, and go to Sarephta of the Sidonians, and dwell there: for I have commanded a widow woman there to feed thee.
-Leve non! Ale lavil Sarepta, nan peyi wa Sidon an. Se la ou pral rete koulye a. Mwen bay yon fanm vèv ki rete laba a lòd pou li ba ou manje.
10 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.
Se konsa Eli leve vre, li pati pou lavil Sarepta. Lè li rive bò pòtay lavil la, li wè yon fanm vèv ki t'ap ranmase bwa. Li rele l', li di l' konsa: -Tanpri, pote ti gout dlo nan yon veso pou m' bwè.
11 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.
Madanm lan fè sa pou l' al chache dlo a, Eli rele l' ankò, li di l' konsa: -Tanpri, pote yon moso pen pou mwen tou.
12 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.
Madanm lan reponn li: -Mwen pran Seyè a, Bondye ou la ki vivan an, pou temwen, mwen pa gen pen tou kwit lakay mwen. Tou sa m' genyen se yon ponyen farin frans nan yon ti bòl ak tigout lwil nan yon boutèy. Mwen vin ranmase de ti bwa la a pou m' al pare ti sa ki rete m' lan pou mwen ak pitit gason m' lan. Lè n'a fin manje l', nou pral rete konsa jouk grangou touye nou.
13 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.
Eli di li: -Pa bat kò ou! Ale pare ti manje ou la! Sèlman fè yon ti pen pou mwen anvan, epi pote l' vini. Apre sa, w'a fè yonn pou ou ak pitit gason ou lan.
14 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.
Paske men pawòl Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, di: Ti bòl farin frans lan ak ti boutèy lwil oliv la p'ap janm vid jouk jou mwen menm Seyè a m'a fè lapli tonbe sou latè ankò.
15 She went and did according to the word of Elias: and he ate, and she, and her house: and from that day
Madanm lan ale, li fè sa Eli te di l' fè a. Se konsa pandan lontan, ni madanm lan, ni pitit gason l' lan, ni Eli, yo tout jwenn manje pou yo manje.
16 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.
Te toujou gen farin frans nan ti bòl la ak lwil oliv nan ti boutèy la, jan Seyè a te mete pawòl la nan bouch pwofèt Eli.
17 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.
Kèk tan apre sa, pitit gason metrès kay la tonbe malad. Maladi a vini pi mal sou li jouk li mouri.
18 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?
Madanm lan di Eli konsa: -Sèvitè Bondye, poukisa ou fè m' sa? Ou vin lakay mwen pou fè Bondye chonje peche m' yo, pou fè pitit gason m' lan mouri.
19 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.
Eli reponn: -Ban m' pitit la. Li pran ti gason an nan men manman l', li moute avè l' nan pyès chanm anwo kay la kote li te rete a, li mete l' kouche sou kabann li.
20 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?
Apre sa, li lapriyè, li di: -Seyè, Bondye mwen, poukisa pou ou fè vèv sa a tout lapenn sa a? Li resevwa m' lakay li, men w'ap pran pitit li.
21 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.
Eli kouche twa fwa sou pitit la, li lapriyè. Li di: -Seyè, Bondye mwen, tanpri, bay pitit la lavi ankò.
22 And the Lord heard the voice of Elias: and the soul of the child returned into him, and he revived.
Seyè a koute lapriyè Eli a, li bay pitit la lavi ankò. Ti gason an rekonmanse pran souf.
23 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.
Eli pran ti bway la, li desann anba avè l', li renmèt li bay manman l', li di l': -Gade! Ti gason ou lan vivan!
24 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.
Madanm lan reponn: -Koulye a mwen wè se yon sèvite Bondye ou ye vre. Pawòl nan bouch ou se pawòl Bondye vre.
