1 Kings 17
1 Elijah the Tishbite, who was one of the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.”
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 Then Yahweh’s word came to him, saying,
Apre sa, Seyè a pale ak Eli, li di l' konsa:
3 “Go away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, that is before 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 You shall drink from the brook. I have commanded 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 So he went and did according to Yahweh’s word, for he went and lived by the brook Cherith that is before the Jordan.
Eli fè sa Seyè a te di l' fè a. Li pati, l' al rete toupre ravin Kerit la.
6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from 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 After a while, the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
Kèk tan apre sa, ravin lan vin chèch, paske lapli pa t' tonbe nan peyi a.
8 Yahweh’s word came to him, saying,
Lè sa a, Seyè a pale ak Eli, li di l' konsa:
9 “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain 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 So he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and said, “Please get me a little water in a jar, 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 As she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a morsel of bread 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 She said, “As Yahweh your God lives, I don’t have anything baked, but only a handful of meal in a jar and a little oil in a jar. Behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and bake 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 Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go and do as you have said; but make me a little cake from it first, and bring it out to me, and afterward make some for you and for your 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 Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘The jar of meal will not run out, and the jar of oil will not fail, until the day that Yahweh sends rain on 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 saying of Elijah; and she, he, and her household ate many days.
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 jar of meal didn’t run out and the jar of oil didn’t fail, according to Yahweh’s word, which he spoke by Elijah.
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 After these things, the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became sick; and his sickness was so severe 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 She said to Elijah, “What have I to do with you, you man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to memory, 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 He said to her, “Give me your son.” He took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the room where he stayed, and laid him on 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 He cried to Yahweh and said, “Yahweh my God, have you also brought evil on the widow with whom I am staying, by killing 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 He stretched himself on the child three times, and cried to Yahweh and said, “Yahweh my God, please let this child’s soul come into him again.”
Eli kouche twa fwa sou pitit la, li lapriyè. Li di: -Seyè, Bondye mwen, tanpri, bay pitit la lavi ankò.
22 Yahweh listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
Seyè a koute lapriyè Eli a, li bay pitit la lavi ankò. Ti gason an rekonmanse pran souf.
23 Elijah took the child and brought him down out of the room into the house, and delivered him to his mother; and Elijah said, “Behold, 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 The woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that Yahweh’s word in your mouth is truth.”
Madanm lan reponn: -Koulye a mwen wè se yon sèvite Bondye ou ye vre. Pawòl nan bouch ou se pawòl Bondye vre.
