1 Kings 17
1 Now Elijah the Tishbite, who was among the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As surely as the LORD lives—the God of Israel before whom I stand—there will be neither dew nor rain in these years except at my word!”
ギレアデに居住れるテシベ人エリヤ、アハブに言ふ吾事ふるイスララエルの神ヱホバは活くわが言なき時は數年雨露あらざるべしと
2 Then a revelation from the LORD came to Elijah:
ヱホバの言彼に臨みて曰く
3 “Leave here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.
爾此より往て東に赴きヨルダンの前にあるケリテ川に身を匿せ
4 And you are to drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
爾其川の水を飮べし我鴉に命じて彼處にて爾を養はしむと
5 So Elijah did what the LORD had told him, and he went and lived by the Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.
彼往てヱホバの言の如く爲り即ち往てヨルダンの前にあるケリテ川に住り
6 The ravens would bring him bread and meat in the morning and evening, and he would drink from the brook.
彼の所に鴉朝にパンと肉亦夕にパンと肉を運べり彼は川に飮り
7 Some time later, however, the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land.
しかるに國に雨なかりければ數日の後其川涸ぬ
8 Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah:
ヱホバの言彼に臨みて曰
9 “Get up and go to Zarephath of Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.”
起てシドンに屬するザレバテに往て其處に住め視よ我彼處の嫠婦に命じて爾を養はしむと
10 So Elijah got up and went to Zarephath. When he arrived at the city gate, there was a widow gathering sticks. Elijah called to her and said, “Please bring me a little water in a cup, so that I may drink.”
彼起てザレパテに往けるが邑の門に至れる時一人の嫠婦の其處に薪を採ふを見たり乃ち之を呼て曰けるは請ふ器に少許の水を我に携來りて我に飮せよと
11 And as she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a piece of bread.”
彼之を携きたらんとて往る時エリヤ彼を呼て言けるは請ふ爾の手に一口のパンを我に取きたれと
12 But she replied, “As surely as the LORD your God lives, I have no bread—only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. Look, I am gathering a couple of sticks to take home and prepare a meal for myself and my son, so that we may eat it and die.”
彼いひけるは爾の神ヱホバは活く我はパン無し只桶に一握の粉と瓶に少許の油あるのみ觀よ我は二の薪を採ふ我いりてわれとわが子のために調理て之をくらひて死んとす
13 “Do not be afraid,” Elijah said to her. “Go and do as you have said. But first make me a small cake of bread from what you have, and bring it out to me. Afterward, make some for yourself and your son,
エリヤ彼に言ふ懼るるなかれ往て汝がいへる如くせよ但し先其をもてわが爲に小きパン一を作りて我に携きたり其後爾のためと爾の子のために作るべし
14 for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour will not be exhausted and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the LORD sends rain upon the face of the earth.’”
其はヱホバの雨を地の面に降したまふ日までは其桶の粉は竭ず其瓶の油は絶ずとイスラエルの神ヱホバ言たまへばなりと
15 So she went and did according to the word of Elijah, and there was food every day for Elijah and the woman and her household.
彼ゆきてエリヤの言るごとくなし彼と其家及びエリヤ久く食へり
16 The jar of flour was not exhausted and the jug of oil did not run dry, according to the word that the LORD had spoken through Elijah.
ヱホバのエリヤに由て言たまひし言のごとく桶の粉は竭ず瓶の油は絶ざりき
17 Later, the son of the woman who owned the house became ill, and his sickness grew worse and worse, until no breath remained in him.
是等の事の後其家の主母なる婦の子疾に罹しが其病甚だ劇くして氣息其中に絶て無きに至れり
18 “O man of God,” said the woman to Elijah, “what have you done to me? Have you come to remind me of my iniquity and cause the death of my son?”
婦エリアに言けるは神の人よ汝なんぞ吾事に關渉るべけんや汝はわが罪を憶ひ出さしめんため又わが子を死しめんために我に來れるか
19 But Elijah said to her, “Give me your son.” So he took him from her arms, carried him to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on his own bed.
エリヤ彼に爾の子を我に授せと言て之を其懐より取り之を己の居る桜に抱のぼりて己の牀に臥しめ
20 Then he cried out to the LORD, “O LORD my God, have You also brought tragedy on this widow who has opened her home to me, by causing her son to die?”
ヱホバに呼はりていひけるは吾神ヱホバよ爾は亦吾ともに宿る嫠に菑をくだして其子を死しめたまふやと
21 Then he stretched himself out over the child three times and cried out to the LORD, “O LORD my God, please let this boy’s life return to him!”
而して三度身を伸して其子の上に伏しヱホバに呼はりて言ふわが神ヱホバ願くは此子の魂を中に歸しめたまへと
22 And the LORD listened to the voice of Elijah, and the child’s life returned to him, and he lived.
ヱホバ、エリヤの聲を聽いれたまひしかば其子の魂中にかへりて生たり
23 Then Elijah took the child, brought him down from the upper room into the house, and gave him to his mother. “Look, your son is alive,” Elijah declared.
エリヤ乃ち其子を取て之を桜より家に携くだり其母に與していひけるは視よ爾の子は生くと
24 Then the woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of the LORD from your mouth is truth.”
婦エリヤにいひけるは此に縁て我は爾が神の人にして爾の口にあるヱホバの言は眞實なるを知ると
