1Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the foreigners 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.”
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."
2The word of Yahweh came to him, saying,
2Upućena mu je riječ Jahvina ovako:
3“Go away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.
3"Idi odavde i kreni na istok i sakrij se na potoku Keritu, koji je nasuprot Jordanu.
4It shall be, that you shall drink of the brook. I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
4Pit ćeš iz potoka, a gavranima sam zapovjedio da te ondje hrane."
5So he went and did according to the word of Yahweh; for he went and lived by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.
5Ode on i učini po riječi Jahvinoj i nastani se na potoku Keritu, nasuprot Jordanu.
6The 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.
7It happened after a while, that the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
7Ali poslije nekog vremena presuši potok, jer nije bilo kiše u svoj zemlji.
8The word of Yahweh came to him, saying,
8Tada Iliji dođe riječ Jahvina:
9“Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.”
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, a widow was there gathering sticks: and he called to her, and said, “Please get me 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!"
11As she was going to get it, he called to her, and said, “Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.”
11Kad je pošla da donese, on viknu za njom i reče joj: "Donesi mi i malo kruha u ruci!"
12She said, “As Yahweh your God lives, I don’t have a cake, but a handful of meal in the jar, and a little oil in the 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.”
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."
13Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go and do as you have said; but make me of it a little cake first, and bring it out to me, and afterward make some for you and for your 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 says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘The jar of meal shall not empty, neither shall the jar of oil fail, until the day that Yahweh sends rain on 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.'"
15She went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, ate many days.
15Ode ona i učini kako je rekao Ilija; i za mnoge dane imadoše jela, ona, on i njen sin.
16The jar of meal didn’t empty, neither did the jar of oil fail, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke by Elijah.
16Brašno se iz ćupa nije potrošilo i u vrču nije nestalo ulja, po riječi koju je Jahve rekao preko svoga sluge Ilije.
17It happened after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so severe, 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.
18She 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!”
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!"
19He 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.
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.
20He cried to Yahweh, and said, “Yahweh my God, have you also brought evil on the widow with whom I stay, by killing her son?”
20Tada zavapi Jahvi i reče: "Jahve, Bože moj, zar zaista želiš udovicu koja me ugostila uvaliti u tugu umorivši joj sina?"
21He 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.”
21Zatim se tri puta pružio nad dječakom zazivajući Jahvu: "Jahve, Bože, učini da se u ovo dijete vrati duša njegova!"
22Yahweh listened to 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.
23Elijah 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.”
23Ilija ga uze, siđe iz gornje sobe u kuću i dade ga njegovoj materi; i reče Ilija: "Evo, tvoj sin živi!"
24The woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of Yahweh in your mouth is truth.”
24Žena mu reče: "Sada znam da si ti čovjek Božji i da je riječ Jahvina u tvojim ustima istinita!"
