1 Kings 17
1 And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the sojourners of Gilead, said to Ahab, As Jehovah, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.
Et dixit Elias Thesbites de habitatoribus Galaad ad Achab: Vivit Dominus Deus Israel, in cuius conspectu sto, si erit annis his ros et pluvia, nisi iuxta oris mei verba.
2 And the word of Jehovah came to him, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad eum, dicens:
3 Get thee from here, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith that is before the Jordan.
Recede hinc, et vade contra Orientem, et abscondere in Torrente carith, qui est contra Iordanem,
4 And it shall be, that thou shall drink of the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
et ibi de torrente bibes: corvisque praecepi ut pascant te ibi.
5 So he went and did according to the word of Jehovah, for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith that is before the Jordan.
Abiit ergo, et fecit iuxta verbum Domini: cumque abiisset, sedit in Torrente carith, qui est contra Iordanem.
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.
Corvi quoque deferebant ei panem et carnes mane, similiter panem et carnes vesperi, et bibebat de torrente.
7 And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up because there was no rain in the land.
Post dies autem siccatus est torrens: non enim pluerat super terram.
8 And the word of Jehovah came to him, saying,
Factus est ergo sermo Domini ad eum, dicens:
9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain thee.
Surge, et vade in Sarephta Sidoniorum, et manebis ibi: praecepi enim ibi mulieri viduae ut pascat te.
10 So 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, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel that I may drink.
Surrexit, et abiit in Sarephta. Cumque venisset ad portam civitatis, apparuit ei mulier vidua colligens ligna, et vocavit eam, dixitque ei: Da mihi paululum aquae in vase, ut bibam.
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 thy hand.
Cumque illa pergeret ut afferret, clamavit post tergum eius, dicens: Affer mihi, obsecro, et buccellam panis in manu tua.
12 And she said, As Jehovah thy God lives, I do not have a cake, but a handful of meal in the jar, and a little oil in the 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.
Quae respondit: Vivit Dominus Deus tuus, quia non habeo panem, nisi quantum pugillus capere potest farinae in hydria, et paululum olei in lecytho: en colligo duo ligna ut ingrediar et faciam illum mihi et filio meo, ut comedamus, et moriamur.
13 And Elijah said to her, Fear not, go and do as thou have said. But make me of it a little cake first, and bring it forth to me, and afterward make for thee and for thy son.
Ad quam Elias ait: Noli timere, sed vade, et fac sicut dixisti: verumtamen mihi primum fac de ipsa farinula subcinericium panem parvulum, et affer ad me: tibi autem et filio tuo facies postea.
14 For thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, The jar of meal shall not be used up, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that Jehovah sends rain upon the earth.
Haec autem dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Hydria farinae non deficiet, nec lecythus olei minuetur usque ad diem, in qua Dominus daturus est pluviam super faciem terrae.
15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah. And she, and he, and her house, ate many days.
Quae abiit, et fecit iuxta verbum Eliae: et comedit ipse, et illa, et domus eius: et ex illa die
16 The jar of meal was not used up, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke by Elijah.
hydria farinae non defecit, et lecythus olei non est imminutus, iuxta verbum Domini, quod locutus fuerat in manu Eliae.
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 severe that there was no breath left in him.
Factum est autem post haec, aegrotavit filius mulieris matris familias, et erat languor fortissimus ita ut non remaneret in eo halitus.
18 And she said to Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? Thou have come to me to bring my sin to remembrance, and to kill my son!
Dixit ergo ad Eliam: Quid mihi et tibi vir Dei? ingressus es ad me, ut rememorarentur iniquitates meae, et interficeres filium meum?
19 And he said to her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the chamber where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.
Et ait ad eam Elias: Da mihi filium tuum. Tulitque eum de sinu eius, et portavit in caenaculum ubi ipse manebat, et posuit super lectulum suum.
20 And he cried to Jehovah, and said, O Jehovah my God, have thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn by slaying her son?
Et clamavit ad Dominum, et dixit: Domine Deus meus, etiam ne viduam, apud quam ego utcumque sustentor, afflixisti ut interficeres filium eius?
21 And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried to Jehovah, and said, O Jehovah my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again.
Et expandit se, atque mensus est super puerum tribus vicibus, et clamavit ad Dominum, et ait: Domine Deus meus, revertatur obsecro anima pueri huius in viscera eius.
22 And Jehovah hearkened to the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
Et exaudivit Dominus vocem Eliae: et reversa est anima pueri intra eum, et revixit.
23 And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him to his mother. And Elijah said, See, thy son lives.
Tulitque Elias puerum, et deposuit eum de caenaculo in inferiorem domum, et tradidit matri suae, et ait illi: En vivit filius tuus.
24 And the woman said to Elijah, Now I know that thou are a man of God, and that the word of Jehovah in thy mouth is truth.
Dixitque mulier ad Eliam: Nunc, in isto cognovi quoniam vir Dei es tu, et verbum Domini in ore tuo verum est.
