1 Wa 17
1 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.
And he said Elijah the Tishbite one of [the] resident aliens of Gilead to Ahab [by] [the] life of Yahweh [the] God of Israel whom I stand before him if it will be the years these dew and rain that except to [the] mouth of word my.
2 Apre sa, Seyè a pale ak Eli, li di l' konsa:
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to him saying.
3 -Kite kote ou ye a, ale nan direksyon solèy leve. Al kache toupre ravin Kerit la ki sou bò solèy leve larivyè Jouden.
Go from here and you will turn yourself east-ward and you will hide yourself at [the] wadi of Kerith which [is] on [the] face of the Jordan.
4 W'a jwenn dlo nan ravin lan pou ou bwè. Mwen bay kaou yo lòd pou yo pote manje ba ou.
And it will be from the wadi you will drink and the ravens I have commanded to supply you there.
5 Eli fè sa Seyè a te di l' fè a. Li pati, l' al rete toupre ravin Kerit la.
And he went and he did according to [the] word of Yahweh and he went and he dwelt at [the] wadi of Kerith which [is] on [the] face of the Jordan.
6 Kaou yo pote pen ak vyann pou li chak maten, chak aswè. Li te jwenn dlo pou l' bwè nan ravin lan.
And the ravens [were] bringing to him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening and from the wadi he drank.
7 Kèk tan apre sa, ravin lan vin chèch, paske lapli pa t' tonbe nan peyi a.
And it was from [the] end of days and it dried up the wadi for not it had been rain in the land.
8 Lè sa a, Seyè a pale ak Eli, li di l' konsa:
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to him saying.
9 -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.
Arise go Zarephath towards which [belongs] to Sidon and you will dwell there here! I have commanded there a woman a widow to supply you.
10 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.
And he arose - and he went Zarephath towards and he came to [the] entrance of the city and there! there a woman a widow [was] gathering wood and he called out to her and he said get please for me a little of water in vessel so I may drink.
11 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.
And she went to get [it] and he called out to her and he said get please for me a piece of bread in hand your.
12 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.
And she said [by] [the] life of Yahweh God your if there to me [is] food that except [the] fullness of a palm of flour in jar and a little of oil in jug and here I [am] gathering two wood and I will go and I will prepare it for myself and for son my and we will eat it and we will die.
13 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.
And he said to her Elijah may not you fear go do according to word your only make for me from there a bread cake small at first and you will bring [it] out to me and for yourself and for son your you will prepare at the last.
14 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.
For thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel [the] jar of flour not it will be at an end and [the] jug of oil not it will be lacking until [the] day (gives *Qk) Yahweh rain on [the] surface of the ground.
15 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.
And she went and she did according to [the] word of Elijah and she ate (she and he *QK) and household her days.
16 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.
[the] jar of Flour not it was at an end and [the] jug of oil not it was lacking according to [the] word of Yahweh which he spoke by [the] hand of Elijah.
17 Kèk tan apre sa, pitit gason metrès kay la tonbe malad. Maladi a vini pi mal sou li jouk li mouri.
And it was after the things these he became sick [the] son of the woman [the] mistress of the house and it was sickness his severe very until that not it was left in him breath.
18 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.
And she said to Elijah what? [is] to me and to you O man of God you have come to me to bring to remembrance iniquity my and to put to death son my.
19 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.
And he said to her give to me son your and he took him from bosom her and he took up him to the upper room where he [was] dwelling there and he made lie him on bed his.
20 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.
And he called out to Yahweh and he said O Yahweh God my ¿ also on the widow whom I [am] staying as a sojourner with her have you done harm by putting to death son her.
21 Eli kouche twa fwa sou pitit la, li lapriyè. Li di: -Seyè, Bondye mwen, tanpri, bay pitit la lavi ankò.
And he stretched himself over the lad three times and he called out to Yahweh and he said O Yahweh God my let it return please [the] life of the lad this to inward part[s] his.
22 Seyè a koute lapriyè Eli a, li bay pitit la lavi ankò. Ti gason an rekonmanse pran souf.
And he listened Yahweh to [the] voice of Elijah and it returned [the] life of the lad to inward part[s] his and he lived.
23 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!
And he took Elijah the lad and he brought down him from the upper room the house towards and he gave him to mother his and he said Elijah see [is] alive son your.
24 Madanm lan reponn: -Koulye a mwen wè se yon sèvite Bondye ou ye vre. Pawòl nan bouch ou se pawòl Bondye vre.
And she said the woman to Elijah now this I know that [are] a man of God you and [the] word of Yahweh in mouth your [is] truth.
