1 Mpanjaka 17
1 Le hoe t’i Elià nte-Tisbè mpimoneñe e Gilade amy Akabe, Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele fijohañako, le tsy hahavy mika ndra orañe o taoñe rezao naho tsy ami’ty rehako avao.
And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.
2 Le niheo ama’e ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
3 Isitaho ty etoa le mitoliha maniñanañe, le mietaha amy torahañe atao Kerite atiñana’ Iordaneiy,
Get you behind, and turn you eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
4 le hinoñe amy torahañey rehe vaho fa liniliko o koàkeo ty hamahañe azo.
And it shall be, that you shall drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.
5 Aa le nimb’eo re nanao i nitsarae’ Iehovày, nañialo añ’ olo’ i Kerite atiñana’ Iordaneiy.
So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
6 Ninday mofo naho hena ama’e boa-maraiñe o koàkeo naho mofo naho hena te hariva, ie ninoñe an-torahañe ao.
And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.
7 Ie añe nimaike i torahañey amy te tsy niavy orañe i taney.
And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
8 Aa le niheo ama’e ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
9 Miongaha, akia mb’e Tsarepate e Tsidone añe, le imoneño; inao, fa liniliko hiatrak’ azo ty vantotse.
Arise, get you to Zarephath, which belongs to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain you.
10 Aa le niongake re nimb’e Tsarepate añe; ie nivotrak’ an-dalambei’ i rovay eo, ingo nanontom-pipìke ty vantotse vaho nitokava’e ami’ty hoe: Añandeso rano tsy ampeampe an-jonjòñe hinomeko.
So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray you, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
11 Ie nihitrike mb’eo le tinoka’e, nanao ty hoe: Ehe, añandeso pilipito-mofo an-taña’o.
And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray you, a morsel of bread in your hand.
12 Fe hoe re, Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, zaho tsy amam-bokoboko fa mona’e mahaàtsa-pitàñe raike am-batavo ao naho menake tsiampeampe an-jonjòñe ao; namory tsila-katae roe raho anianikey hañalankañe aze ho ahy naho i anakoy hihinana’ay vaho hivetrake.
And she said, As the LORD your God lives, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, 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.
13 Le hoe t’i Elià ama’e: Ko hemban-drehe, akia, ano i sinaontsi’oy; f’ie anokono mofo kede heike, le azotsò, ie heneke, anokono ka nahareo miroanake,
And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as you have said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for you and for your son.
14 ami’ty nafè’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele ty hoe: Tsy ho ritse ty vatavom-bò, vaho tsy ho kapaike ty zonjò-menak’ ampara’ ty andro irahe’ Iehovà orañe mb’ an-tane atoa.
For thus says the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sends rain upon the earth.
15 Aa le nimb’eo re, hene nanoe’e i nisaontsia’ i Eliày naho nikama andro maro, ie naho i Elià, vaho i anjomba’ey.
And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.
16 Tsy nilany ty vatavom-bò vaho tsy nikapaike ty zonjo-menake, ty amy tsara nampisaontsie’ Iehovà i Eliày.
And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by Elijah.
17 Ie añe, le natindrin-kasilofañe ty ana’ i rakembay, le akore ty fanjekea’ i areteñey kanao tsy nahakofòke.
And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him.
18 Le hoe re amy Elià, Inoñ’ ama’o raho, ry ondatin’ Añahareo? Nivotrak’ amako atoy hao rehe hampaniahiañ’ ahy o tahikoo, vaho hañoho-doza amy anakoy?
And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with you, O you man of God? are you come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?
19 Le hoe re ama’e: Atoloro ahy o ana’oo naho rinambe’e añ’araña’e naho nendese’e mb’ am-batsa am-pimoneña’e ao vaho nampandre’e am-pandrea’e.
And he said unto her, Give me your son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into an upper room, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.
20 Nitoreove’e am’ Iehovà ty hoe: Ry Iehovà, Andrianañahareko, nametsaha’o hankàñe hao i vantotse añialoakoy, ie zinevo’o i ana’ey?
And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, have you also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?
21 Nihity in-telo ambone’ i ajajay re vaho nitoreo amy Iehovà, ami’ty hoe: Ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko, miambane ama’o, Ampolio ami’ty ajaja toy ty fiai’e.
And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray you, let this child's soul come into him again.
22 Le hinao’ Iehovà ty fiarañanaña’ i Elià, naho nimpoly amy ajajay ty fiai’e vaho nisotrake.
And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
23 Rinambe’ i Elià i ajajay, le nazotso’e boak’ am-batsa ao mb’ añ’anjomba mb’eo, le natolo’e an-drene’e, le hoe t’i Elià; Ingo, veloñe o ana-dahi’oo.
And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, your son lives.
24 Le hoe i rakembay amy Elià: Apotako henaneo t’ihe ro toe ondatin’ Añahare, vaho to ty tsara’ Iehovà am-palie’o.
And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in your mouth is truth.
