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。」
Then said Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gil'ad, unto Achab, As the Lord the God of Israel liveth, before whom I have stood, there shall not be in these years dew or rain, except according to my word.
2 耶和華的話臨到以利亞說：
And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying,
3 「你離開這裏往東去，藏在約旦河東邊的基立溪旁。
Go away from here, and turn thyself eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Kerith, which is to the east of the Jordan.
4 你要喝那溪裏的水，我已吩咐烏鴉在那裏供養你。」
And it shall be, that out of the brook shalt thou drink; and the ravens have I ordained to sustain 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。
And he went and did according to the word of the Lord; and he went and remained by the brook Kerith, that is to the east of the Jordan.
6 烏鴉早晚給他叼餅和肉來，他也喝那溪裏的水。
And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening: and out of the brook he used to drink.
7 過了些日子，溪水就乾了，因為雨沒有下在地上。
And it came to pass after a while that the brook dried up; because there had been no rain in the land.
8 耶和華的話臨到他說：
And the word of the Lord came unto 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。」
Arise, go unto Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and remain there: behold, I have ordained there a widow-woman to sustain 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 city, behold, there was there a widow-woman gathering sticks of wood: and he called her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
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 went to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thy 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 she said, As the Lord thy God liveth, I have nothing baked, but a handful of meal in a jar, and a little oil in a cruise: and, behold, I am gathering a couple of sticks, that I may go in and prepare it for me and my son; and when we have eaten it, we shall have to die.
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 Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said; but make me thereof a little cake at first, and bring it out unto me, and for thee and for thy son shalt thou prepare [something] afterward.
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 hath said the Lord the God of Israel, The jar of meal shall not fail, neither shall the cruise of oil diminish, until the day that the Lord giveth rain upon the face of 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。
And she went and did according to the word of Elijah: and she, and he, and her household, did eat [many] days.
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 jar of meal failed not, nor did the cruise of oil diminish, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken through means of Elijah.
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 it came to pass after these events, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness became very severe, until that at length 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 unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O man of God? thou art come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son!
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 unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the upper chamber, in which he abode, and he laid him upon his own 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？」
And he called 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 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 himself out over the child three times, and called unto the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, let, I pray thee, the soul of this child return again within him.
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。
And the Lord listened to the voice of Elijah: and the soul of the child returned into him, and he revived.
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 Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the upper chamber into the house, and gave him unto his mother; and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth.
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 said to Elijah, Now by this do I know, that thou art a man of God, and the word of the Lord in thy mouth is truth.
