列王纪上 17
1 基列寄居的提斯比人以利亚对亚哈说：“我指着所事奉永生耶和华—以色列的 神起誓，这几年我若不祷告，必不降露，不下雨。”
And Eliu the prophet, the Thesbite of Thesbae of Galaad, said to Achaab, As the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be these years dew nor rain, except by the word of my mouth.
2 耶和华的话临到以利亚说：
And the word of the Lord came to Eliu, [saying],
3 “你离开这里往东去，藏在约旦河东边的基立溪旁。
Depart hence eastward, and hide you by the brook of Chorrath, that is before Jordan.
4 你要喝那溪里的水，我已吩咐乌鸦在那里供养你。”
And it shall be [that] you shall drink water of the brook, and I will charge the ravens to feed you there.
5 于是以利亚照着耶和华的话，去住在约旦河东的基立溪旁。
And Eliu did according to the word of the Lord, and he sat by the brook of Chorrath before Jordan.
6 乌鸦早晚给他叼饼和肉来，他也喝那溪里的水。
And the ravens brought him loaves in the morning, and flesh in the evening and he drank water of the brook.
7 过了些日子，溪水就干了，因为雨没有下在地上。
And it came to pass after some time, that the brook was dried up, because there had been no rain upon the earth.
8 耶和华的话临到他说：
And the word of the Lord came to Eliu, [saying],
9 “你起身往西顿的撒勒法去，住在那里；我已吩咐那里的一个寡妇供养你。”
Arise, and go to Sarepta of the Sidonian [land]: behold, I have there commanded a widow-woman to maintain you.
10 以利亚就起身往撒勒法去。到了城门，见有一个寡妇在那里捡柴，以利亚呼叫她说：“求你用器皿取点水来给我喝。”
And he arose and went to Sarepta, and came to the gate of the city: and, behold, a widow-woman was there gathering sticks; and Eliu cried after her, and said to her, Fetch me, I pray you, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
11 她去取水的时候，以利亚又呼叫她说：“也求你拿点饼来给我！”
And she went to fetch it; and Eliu cried after her, and said, Bring me, I pray you, a morsel of the bread that is in your hand.
12 她说：“我指着永生耶和华—你的 神起誓，我没有饼，坛内只有一把面，瓶里只有一点油；我现在找两根柴，回家要为我和我儿子做饼；我们吃了，死就死吧！”
And the woman said, [As] the Lord your God lives, I have not a cake, but only a handful of meal in the pitcher, and a little oil in a cruse, and, behold, I am going to gather two sticks, and I shall go in and dress it for myself and my children, and we shall eat it and die.
13 以利亚对她说：“不要惧怕！可以照你所说的去做吧！只要先为我做一个小饼拿来给我，然后为你和你的儿子做饼。
And Eliu said to her, Be of good courage, go in and do according to your word: but make me thereof a little cake, and you shall bring [it] out to me first, and you shall make [some] for yourself and your children last.
14 因为耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：坛内的面必不减少，瓶里的油必不缺短，直到耶和华使雨降在地上的日子。”
For thus says the Lord, The pitcher of meal shall not fail, and the cruse of oil shall not diminish, until the day that the Lord gives rain upon the earth.
15 妇人就照以利亚的话去行。她和她家中的人，并以利亚，吃了许多日子。
And the woman went and did [so], and did eat, she, and he, and her children.
16 坛内的面果不减少，瓶里的油也不缺短，正如耶和华借以利亚所说的话。
And the pitcher of meal failed not, and the cruse of oil was not diminished, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by the hand of Eliu.
17 这事以后，作那家主母的妇人，她儿子病了；病得甚重，以致身无气息。
And it came to pass afterward, that the son of the woman the mistress of the house was sick; and his sickness was very severe, until there was no breath left in him.
18 妇人对以利亚说：“神人哪，我与你何干？你竟到我这里来，使 神想念我的罪，以致我的儿子死呢？”
And she said to Eliu, What have I to do with you, O man of God? have you come in to me to bring my sins to remembrance, and to kill my son?
19 以利亚对她说：“把你儿子交给我。”以利亚就从妇人怀中将孩子接过来，抱到他所住的楼中，放在自己的床上，
And Eliu said to the woman, Give me your son. And he took him out of her bosom, and took him up to the chamber in which he himself lodged, and laid him on the bed.
20 就求告耶和华说：“耶和华—我的 神啊，我寄居在这寡妇的家里，你就降祸与她，使她的儿子死了吗？”
And Eliu cried aloud, and said, Alas, O Lord, the witness of the widow with whom I sojourn, you have wrought evil [for her] in slaying her son.
21 以利亚三次伏在孩子的身上，求告耶和华说：“耶和华—我的 神啊，求你使这孩子的灵魂仍入他的身体！”
And he breathed on the child thrice, and called on the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, let, I pray you, the soul of this child return to him.
22 耶和华应允以利亚的话，孩子的灵魂仍入他的身体，他就活了。
And it was so, and the child cried out,
23 以利亚将孩子从楼上抱下来，进屋子交给他母亲，说：“看哪，你的儿子活了！”
and he brought him down from the upper chamber into the house, and gave him to his mother; and Eliu said, See, your son lives.
24 妇人对以利亚说：“现在我知道你是神人，耶和华借你口所说的话是真的。”
And the woman said to Eliu, Behold, I know that you [are] a man of God, and the word of the Lord in your mouth [is] true.
