1 i Mbretërve 17
Albanian Bible
17 Elia, Tishbiti, një nga banorët e Galaadit i tha Ashabit: "Ashtu siç është e vërtetë që rron Zoti, Perëndia i Izraelit, në prani të të cilit unë ndodhem, nuk do të ketë as vesë as shi gjatë këtyre viteve, veçse me fjalën time".
2 Pastaj fjala e Zotit iu drejtua atij, duke thënë:
3 "Largohu që këtej, ktheu nga lindja dhe fshihu pranë përroit Kerith, që ndodhet në lindje të Jordanit.
4 Do të pish ujë në përrua dhe unë i kam urdhëruar korbat që të të japin të hash atje".
5 Kështu ai u nis dhe veproi sipas fjalës të Zotit; shkoi dhe u vendos pranë përroit Kerith, që ndodhet në lindje të Jordanit.
6 Korbat i sillnin bukë e mish në mëngjes dhe bukë e mish në mbrëmje, dhe pinte ujë në përrua.
7 Mbas një farë kohe përroi shteroi, sepse nuk binte shi mbi vendin.
8 Atëherë Zoti i foli, duke thënë:
9 "Çohu dhe shko të vendosësh në Sarepta të Sidonëve, sepse atje kam urdhëruar një grua të ve të të sigurojë ushqimin".
10 Ai u ngrit, pra, dhe shkoi në Sarepta; sapo arriti në portën e qytetit, ai pa një të ve që mblidhte dru. Ai e thirri dhe i tha: "Shko dhe më merr pak ujë në një enë që të mund të pi".
11 Ndërsa ajo po shkonte për të marrë ujin, ai e thirri dhe i tha: "Më sill edhe një copë bukë".
12 Ajo u përgjigj: "Ashtu siç është e vërtetë që rron Zoti, Perëndia yt, bukë nuk kam, por kam vetëm një dorë miell në një enë dhe pak vaj në një qyp; dhe tani po mbledh dy copa dru për t’i përgatitur për vete dhe për djalin tim; do t’i hamë dhe pastaj kemi për të vdekur".
13 Elia i tha: "Mos ki frikë; shko dhe bëj si the; por më parë bëj një kulaç të vogël për mua dhe sillma; pastaj ta bësh për vete dhe për djalin tënd.
14 Sepse kështu thotë Zoti, Perëndia i Izraelit: "Ena e miellit nuk do të mbarojë dhe qypi i vajit nuk do të pakësohet deri ditën, që Zoti të dërgojë shiun mbi tokë"".
15 Kështu ajo shkoi dhe veproi sipas fjalës së Elias; dhe kështu hëngrën ajo, Elia dhe gjithë familja e saj për një kohë të gjatë.
16 Ena e miellit nuk mbaroi dhe qypi i vajit nuk u pakësua, sipas fjalës që Zoti kishte shqiptuar me anë të Elias.
17 Mbas këtyre ngjarjeve, biri i gruas, që ishte e zonja e shtëpisë, u sëmur; sëmundja e tij qe aq e rëndë, sa nuk i mbeti më frymë jete.
18 Atëherë ajo i tha Elias: "Çfarë lidhje kam me ty, o njeri i Perëndisë? Ndofta ke ardhur tek unë për të më kujtuar mëkatin që kam bërë dhe për të vrarë djalin tim?".
19 Ai iu përgjigj: "Më jep djalin tënd". Kështu ia mori nga gjiri i saj, e çoi në dhomën lart dhe e shtriu në shtratin e tij.
20 Pastaj i kërkoi ndihmë Zotit dhe tha: "O Zot, Perëndia im, mos ke goditur me fatkeqësi edhe këtë grua të ve, që më strehon, duke bërë t’i vdesë i biri?".
21 U shtri pastaj tri herë mbi fëmijën dhe kërkoi ndihmën e Zotit, duke thënë: "O Zot, Perëndia im, të lutem bëj që t’i kthehet shpirti kësaj fëmije".
22 Zoti e plotësoi dëshirën e shprehur në zërin e Elias; shpirti i fëmijës u kthye tek ai dhe ai mori jetë përsëri.
23 Atëherë Elia mori fëmijën, e zbriti nga dhoma e sipërme e shtëpisë dhe ia dha nënës së tij, duke i thënë: "Shiko, fëmija jote është gjallë!".
24 Atëherë gruaja i tha Elias: "Tani pranoj që ti je një njeri i Perëndisë dhe që fjala e Zotit në gojën tënde është e vërtetë".

Elijah Announces a Great Drought
17 Now Elijah(A) the Tishbite, from Tishbe[a] in Gilead,(B) said to Ahab, “As the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain(C) in the next few years except at my word.”
Elijah Fed by Ravens
2 Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah: 3 “Leave here, turn eastward and hide(D) in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan. 4 You will drink from the brook, and I have directed the ravens(E) to supply you with food there.”
5 So he did what the Lord had told him. He went to the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan, and stayed there. 6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning(F) and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.
Elijah and the Widow at Zarephath
7 Some time later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land. 8 Then the word of the Lord came to him: 9 “Go at once to Zarephath(G) in the region of Sidon and stay there. I have directed a widow(H) there to supply you with food.” 10 So he went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, “Would you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a drink?”(I) 11 As she was going to get it, he called, “And bring me, please, a piece of bread.”
12 “As surely as the Lord your God lives,” she replied, “I don’t have any bread—only a handful of flour in a jar and a little olive oil(J) in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it—and die.”
13 Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small loaf of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. 14 For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord sends rain(K) on the land.’”
15 She went away and did as Elijah had told her. So there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family. 16 For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the Lord spoken by Elijah.
17 Some time later the son of the woman who owned the house became ill. He grew worse and worse, and finally stopped breathing. 18 She said to Elijah, “What do you have against me, man of God? Did you come to remind me of my sin(L) and kill my son?”
19 “Give me your son,” Elijah replied. He took him from her arms, carried him to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on his bed. 20 Then he cried(M) out to the Lord, “Lord my God, have you brought tragedy even on this widow I am staying with, by causing her son to die?” 21 Then he stretched(N) himself out on the boy three times and cried out to the Lord, “Lord my God, let this boy’s life return to him!”
22 The Lord heard Elijah’s cry, and the boy’s life returned to him, and he lived. 23 Elijah picked up the child and carried him down from the room into the house. He gave him to his mother(O) and said, “Look, your son is alive!”
24 Then the woman said to Elijah, “Now I know(P) that you are a man of God(Q) and that the word of the Lord from your mouth is the truth.”(R)

King James Version
17 And 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.
2 And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying,
3 Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
5 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 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 And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
8 And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying,
9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.
10 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 thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
11 And 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.
12 And 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.
13 And 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.
14 For 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.
15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.
16 And 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.
17 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 And 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?
19 And 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.
20 And 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?
21 And 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.
22 And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
23 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, thy son liveth.
24 And 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.
