Kings III 17
1 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.
[厄里亞先知預言旱災]基肋阿得提市貝出身的提市貝人厄里亞對阿哈布說：「我指著我所服侍的永生上主、以色列的天主起誓：這幾年如果沒有我的命令，天決不降露或落雨! 」
2 And the word of the Lord came to Eliu, [saying],
有上主的話傳於厄里亞說：「
3 Depart hence eastward, and hide you by the brook of Chorrath, that is before Jordan.
你離開這裏，轉向東方，隱居在約但河東的革黎特校河旁。
4 And it shall be [that] you shall drink water of the brook, and I will charge the ravens to feed you there.
你要喝那小河裏的水，我已經吩咐烏鴉在那裏供給你食物。」
5 And Eliu did according to the word of the Lord, and he sat by the brook of Chorrath before Jordan.
厄里亞就依照上主的話去做，去住在約但河東的革黎特小河旁。
6 And the ravens brought him loaves in the morning, and flesh in the evening and he drank water of the brook.
烏鴉早晨給他送餅和肉來，晚上也給他送餅和肉來；渴了，就喝那小河裏的水。
7 And it came to pass after some time, that the brook was dried up, because there had been no rain upon the earth.
不幾天以後，那地方沒有落雨，小河也乾涸了。
8 And the word of the Lord came to Eliu, [saying],
有上主的話傳於厄里亞說：「
9 Arise, and go to Sarepta of the Sidonian [land]: behold, I have there commanded a widow-woman to maintain you.
你起身往漆冬匝爾法特去，住在那裏；我已吩咐那裏的一個寡婦供養你。」
10 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.
他就起身往匝爾法特去了，來到城門時，看見一個寡婦在那裏拾木柴。厄里亞喚她說：「請你用器皿取點水來給我喝! 」
11 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.
她正要去取水的時候，厄里亞又叫住她說：「請你也順便給我拿點餅來! 」
12 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.
那寡婦說：「我指著永生上主你的天主起誓：我沒有餅，缸裏只有一把麵，罐裏還有一點油。你看，我正要拾兩根木柴，回去為我和我的兒子做點東西，吃了等死。」
13 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.
厄里亞對她說：「你不用害怕，僅管照你所說的去做；只是先為我做一個小餅，給我拿來! 然後，再為你和你的兒子做，
14 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.
因為上主以色列的天主這樣說：直到上主使雨落在在地上的那一天，缸裏的麵，決不會用完；罐裏的油，也決不會缺少。」
15 And the woman went and did [so], and did eat, she, and he, and her children.
那個寡婦就照了厄里亞的話去做了；她和厄里亞並她的孩子吃了許多日子；
16 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.
缸裏的麵，果然沒有用完，罐裏的油，也沒有減少，正如上主藉著厄里亞所說的話。復活寡婦的兒子
17 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.
這事以後，那婦人，即那家的主母的兒子病了，病得很重，就斷了氣。
18 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?
婦人於是對厄里亞說：「天主的人，我與你有什麼關係﹖你到我這裏來，竟叫上主記起我的罪惡，殺死了我的兒子! 」
19 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.
厄里亞對婦人說：「把你的兒子交給我! 」於是厄里亞從她懷裏接過孩子來，抱到他住的樓上，放在自己的床上，
20 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.
呼求上主說：「上主，我的天主! 我寄居在這寡婦家中，難道你也忍心加害於她，殺死她的兒子嗎﹖」
21 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.
厄里亞三次伏在孩子身上，呼求上主說：「上主，我的天主，求你使這孩子的靈魂再回到他身上! 」
22 And it was so, and the child cried out,
上主聽了厄里亞的呼求，孩子的靈魂又回到他身上，孩子就又活了。
23 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.
厄里亞將孩子曾樓上抱下來，到房間內，把孩子交給他的母親說：「看，你兒子活了! 」
24 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.
那婦人對厄里亞說：「現在我知道你是天主的人，上主藉著你的口所說的話，確是真理。」
