列王紀上 17
1 基列寄居的提斯比人以利亞對亞哈說：「我指着所事奉永生耶和華－以色列的上帝起誓，這幾年我若不禱告，必不降露，不下雨。」
And Eliiah the Tishbite one of the inhabitats of Gilead sayde vnto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liueth, before whom I stand, there shall be neither dewe nor rayne these yeeres, but according to my worde.
2 耶和華的話臨到以利亞說：
And the worde of the Lord came vnto him, saying,
3 「你離開這裏往東去，藏在約旦河東邊的基立溪旁。
Go hence, and turne thee Eastwarde, and hide thy selfe in the riuer Cherith, that is ouer against Iorden,
4 你要喝那溪裏的水，我已吩咐烏鴉在那裏供養你。」
And thou shalt drinke of the riuer: and I haue comanded the rauens to feede thee there.
5 於是以利亞照着耶和華的話，去住在約旦河東的基立溪旁。
So he went and did according vnto the word of the Lord: for he went, and remained by the riuer Cherith that is ouer against Iorden.
6 烏鴉早晚給他叼餅和肉來，他也喝那溪裏的水。
And the rauens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the euening, and he dranke of the riuer.
7 過了些日子，溪水就乾了，因為雨沒有下在地上。
And after a while the riuer dryed vp, because there fell no rayne vpon the earth.
8 耶和華的話臨到他說：
And the worde of the Lord came vnto him, saying,
9 「你起身往西頓的撒勒法去，住在那裏；我已吩咐那裏的一個寡婦供養你。」
Vp, and get thee to Zarephath, which is in Zidon, and remaine there: beholde, I haue commanded a widow there to sustaine thee.
10 以利亞就起身往撒勒法去。到了城門，見有一個寡婦在那裏撿柴，以利亞呼叫她說：「求你用器皿取點水來給我喝。」
So he arose, and went to Zarephath: and when he came to the gate of the citie, beholde, the widowe was there gathering stickes: and he called her, and sayde, Bring me, I pray thee, a litle water in a vessel, that I may drinke.
11 她去取水的時候，以利亞又呼叫她說：「也求你拿點餅來給我！」
And as she was going to fet it, he called to her, and sayde, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsell of bread in thine hand.
12 她說：「我指着永生耶和華－你的上帝起誓，我沒有餅，罈內只有一把麵，瓶裏只有一點油；我現在找兩根柴，回家要為我和我兒子做餅；我們吃了，死就死吧！」
And shee sayde, As the Lord thy God liueth, I haue not a cake, but euen an handfull of meale in a barrel, and a litle oyle in a cruse: and behold, I am gathering a fewe stickes for to go in, and dresse it for me and my sonne, that we may eate it, and dye.
13 以利亞對她說：「不要懼怕！可以照你所說的去做吧！只要先為我做一個小餅拿來給我，然後為你和你的兒子做餅。
And Eliiah said vnto her, Feare not, come, do as thou hast sayd, but make me thereof a litle cake first of all, and bring it vnto mee, and afterward make for thee, and thy sonne.
14 因為耶和華－以色列的上帝如此說：罈內的麵必不減少，瓶裏的油必不缺短，直到耶和華使雨降在地上的日子。」
For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The meale in the barrel shall not be wasted, neither shall the oyle in the cruse be diminished, vnto the time that the Lord send rayne vpon the earth.
15 婦人就照以利亞的話去行。她和她家中的人，並以利亞，吃了許多日子。
So she went, and did as Eliiah sayd, and she did eate: so did he and her house for a certaine time.
16 罈內的麵果不減少，瓶裏的油也不缺短，正如耶和華藉以利亞所說的話。
The barrell of the meale wasted not, nor the oyle was spent out of the cruse, according to the worde of the Lord, which he spake by the hand of Eliiah.
17 這事以後，作那家主母的婦人，她兒子病了；病得甚重，以致身無氣息。
And after these things, the sonne of the wife of the house fell sicke, and his sicknesse was so sore, that there was no breath left in him.
18 婦人對以利亞說：「神人哪，我與你何干？你竟到我這裏來，使上帝想念我的罪，以致我的兒子死呢？」
And she said vnto Eliiah, What haue I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come vnto me to call my sinne to remembrance, and to slay my sonne?
19 以利亞對她說：「把你兒子交給我。」以利亞就從婦人懷中將孩子接過來，抱到他所住的樓中，放在自己的床上，
And he said vnto her, Giue me thy sonne. and he tooke him out of her bosome, and caryed him vp into a chamber, where he abode, and laid him vpon his owne bed.
20 就求告耶和華說：「耶和華－我的上帝啊，我寄居在這寡婦的家裏，你就降禍與她，使她的兒子死了嗎？」
Then he called vnto the Lord, and sayde, O Lord my God, hast thou punished also this widowe, with whome I soiourne, by killing her sonne?
21 以利亞三次伏在孩子的身上，求告耶和華說：「耶和華－我的上帝啊，求你使這孩子的靈魂仍入他的身體！」
And he stretched himselfe vpon the childe three times, and called vnto the Lord, and saide, O Lord my God, I pray thee, let this childes soule come into him againe.
22 耶和華應允以利亞的話，孩子的靈魂仍入他的身體，他就活了。
Then the Lord heard the voyce of Eliiah, and the soule of the child came into him againe, and he reuiued.
23 以利亞將孩子從樓上抱下來，進屋子交給他母親，說：「看哪，你的兒子活了！」
And Eliiah tooke the childe, and brought him downe out of the chamber into the house, and deliuered him vnto his mother, and Eliiah sayd, Behold, thy sonne liueth.
24 婦人對以利亞說：「現在我知道你是神人，耶和華藉你口所說的話是真的。」
And the woman saide vnto Eliiah, Now I knowe that thou art a man of God, and that the worde of the Lord in thy mouth is true.
