¹And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.

¹Ilija Tišbijac, iz Tišbe Gileadske, reče Ahabu: "Živoga mi Jahve, Boga Izraelova, komu služim, neće ovih godina biti ni rose ni kiše, osim na moju zapovijed."

²And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,

²Upućena mu je riječ Jahvina ovako:

³Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.

³"Idi odavde i kreni na istok i sakrij se na potoku Keritu, koji je nasuprot Jordanu.

⁴And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.

⁴Pit ćeš iz potoka, a gavranima sam zapovjedio da te ondje hrane."

⁵So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.

⁵Ode on i učini po riječi Jahvinoj i nastani se na potoku Keritu, nasuprot Jordanu.

⁶And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.

⁶Gavrani su mu jutrom donosili kruha, a večerom mesa; iz potoka je pio.

⁷And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.

⁷Ali poslije nekog vremena presuši potok, jer nije bilo kiše u svoj zemlji.

⁸And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,

⁸Tada Iliji dođe riječ Jahvina:

⁹Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.

⁹"Ustani, idi u Sarfatu Sidonsku i ondje ostani. Evo, ondje sam zapovjedio jednoj udovici da te hrani."

¹⁰So 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 thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.

¹⁰Ustade on i krenu u Sarfatu. Kada je stigao do gradskih vrata, neka je udovica onuda skupljala drva; on joj se obrati i reče: "Donesi mi malo vode u vrču da pijem!"

¹¹And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.

¹¹Kad je pošla da donese, on viknu za njom i reče joj: "Donesi mi i malo kruha u ruci!"

¹²And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, 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.

¹²Ona odgovori: "Živoga mi Jahve, tvoga Boga, ja nemam pečena kruha, nemam do pregršti brašna u ćupu i malo ulja u vrču. I evo kupim drva, pa ću otići i ono pripremiti sebi i svome sinu da pojedemo i da umremo."

¹³And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.

¹³Ali joj Ilija reče: "Ništa se ne boj. Idi i uradi kako si rekla; samo najprije umijesi meni kolačić, pa mi donesi; a onda zgotovi za sebe i za svoga sina.

¹⁴For thus saith 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 sendeth rain upon the earth.

¹⁴Jer ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'U ćupu neće brašna nestati ni vrč se s uljem neće isprazniti sve dokle Jahve ne pusti da kiša padne na zemlju.'"

¹⁵And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.

¹⁵Ode ona i učini kako je rekao Ilija; i za mnoge dane imadoše jela, ona, on i njen sin.

¹⁶And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.

¹⁶Brašno se iz ćupa nije potrošilo i u vrču nije nestalo ulja, po riječi koju je Jahve rekao preko svoga sluge Ilije.

¹⁷And 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.

¹⁷Poslije ovih događaja razbolio se sin domaćičin i bolest se njegova jako pogoršala, tako te u njemu nije ostalo daha.

¹⁸And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?

¹⁸Tada ona reče Iliji: "Što ja imam s tobom, čovječe Božji? Zar si došao k meni da me podsjetiš na moj grijeh i da mi usmrtiš sina!"

¹⁹And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.

¹⁹On joj reče: "Daj mi svoga sina!" Tada ga uze iz njezina naručja, odnese ga u gornju sobu gdje je stanovao i položi ga na svoju postelju.

²⁰And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?

²⁰Tada zavapi Jahvi i reče: "Jahve, Bože moj, zar zaista želiš udovicu koja me ugostila uvaliti u tugu umorivši joj sina?"

²¹And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again.

²¹Zatim se tri puta pružio nad dječakom zazivajući Jahvu: "Jahve, Bože, učini da se u ovo dijete vrati duša njegova!"

²²And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.

²²Jahve je uslišio molbu Ilijinu, u dijete se vratila duša i ono oživje.

²³And 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, thy son liveth.

²³Ilija ga uze, siđe iz gornje sobe u kuću i dade ga njegovoj materi; i reče Ilija: "Evo, tvoj sin živi!"

²⁴And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in thy mouth is truth.

²⁴Žena mu reče: "Sada znam da si ti čovjek Božji i da je riječ Jahvina u tvojim ustima istinita!"
