Kings III 17
1 And Eliu the prophet, the Thesbite of Thesbae of Galaad, said to Achaab, As the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be these years dew nor rain, except by the word 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 Eliu, [saying],
Apre sa, Seyè a pale ak Eli, li di l' konsa:
3 Depart hence eastward, and hide you by the brook of Chorrath, that is before 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 it shall be [that] you shall drink water of the brook, and I will charge the ravens to feed you there.
W'a jwenn dlo nan ravin lan pou ou bwè. Mwen bay kaou yo lòd pou yo pote manje ba ou.
5 And Eliu did according to the word of the Lord, and he sat by the brook of Chorrath before 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 loaves in the morning, and flesh in the evening and he drank water of the brook.
Kaou yo pote pen ak vyann pou li chak maten, chak aswè. Li te jwenn dlo pou l' bwè nan ravin lan.
7 And it came to pass after some time, that the brook was dried up, because there had been no rain upon the earth.
Kèk tan apre sa, ravin lan vin chèch, paske lapli pa t' tonbe nan peyi a.
8 And the word of the Lord came to Eliu, [saying],
Lè sa a, Seyè a pale ak Eli, li di l' konsa:
9 Arise, and go to Sarepta of the Sidonian [land]: behold, I have there commanded a widow-woman to maintain you.
-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 And he arose and went to Sarepta, and came to the gate of the city: and, behold, a widow-woman was there gathering sticks; and Eliu cried after her, and said to her, Fetch me, I pray you, 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 she went to fetch it; and Eliu cried after her, and said, Bring me, I pray you, a morsel of the bread that is in your 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 the woman said, [As] the Lord your God lives, I have not a cake, but only a handful of meal in the pitcher, and a little oil in a cruse, and, behold, I am going to gather two sticks, and I shall go in and dress it for myself and my children, and we shall 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 Eliu said to her, Be of good courage, go in and do according to your word: but make me thereof a little cake, and you shall bring [it] out to me first, and you shall make [some] for yourself and your children last.
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 says the Lord, The pitcher of meal shall not fail, and the cruse of oil shall not diminish, until the day that the Lord gives rain upon 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 And the woman went and did [so], and did eat, she, and he, and her children.
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 And the pitcher of meal failed not, and the cruse of oil was not diminished, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by the hand of Eliu.
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 afterward, that the son of the woman the mistress of the house was sick; and his sickness was very severe, until 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 Eliu, What have I to do with you, O man of God? have you come in to me to bring my sins to remembrance, and to 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 Eliu said to the woman, Give me your son. And he took him out of her bosom, and took him up to the chamber in which he himself lodged, and laid him on the 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 Eliu cried aloud, and said, Alas, O Lord, the witness of the widow with whom I sojourn, you have wrought evil [for her] in slaying 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 breathed on the child thrice, and called on the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, let, I pray you, the soul of this child return to him.
Eli kouche twa fwa sou pitit la, li lapriyè. Li di: -Seyè, Bondye mwen, tanpri, bay pitit la lavi ankò.
22 And it was so, and the child cried out,
Seyè a koute lapriyè Eli a, li bay pitit la lavi ankò. Ti gason an rekonmanse pran souf.
23 and he brought him down from the upper chamber into the house, and gave him to his mother; and Eliu said, See, your son lives.
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 Eliu, Behold, I know that you [are] a man of God, and the word of the Lord in your 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.
