Kings III 19
1 And Achaab told Jezabel his wife all that Eliu [had] done, and how he [had] slain the prophets with the sword.
nuntiavit autem Ahab Hiezabel omnia quae fecerat Helias et quomodo occidisset universos prophetas gladio
2 And Jezabel sent to Eliu, and said, If you are Eliu and I am Jezabel, God do so to me, and more also, if I do not make your life by this time to-morrow as the life of one of them.
misitque Hiezabel nuntium ad Heliam dicens haec mihi faciant dii et haec addant nisi hac hora cras posuero animam tuam sicut animam unius ex illis
3 And Eliu feared, and rose, and departed for his life: and he comes to Bersabee [to] the land of Juda, and he left his servant there.
timuit ergo Helias et surgens abiit quocumque eum ferebat voluntas venitque in Bersabee Iuda et dimisit ibi puerum suum
4 And he himself went a day's journey in the wilderness, and came and sat under a juniper tree; and asked concerning his life that he might die, and said, Let it be enough now, O Lord, take, I pray you, my life from me; for I am no better than my fathers.
et perrexit in desertum via unius diei cumque venisset et sederet subter unam iuniperum petivit animae suae ut moreretur et ait sufficit mihi Domine tolle animam meam neque enim melior sum quam patres mei
5 And he lay down and slept there under a tree; and behold, some one touched him, and said to him, Arise and eat.
proiecitque se et obdormivit in umbra iuniperi et ecce angelus tetigit eum et dixit illi surge comede
6 And Eliu looked, and, behold, at his head there was a cake of meal and a cruse of water; and he arose, and ate and drank, and returned and lay down.
respexit et ecce ad caput suum subcinericius panis et vas aquae comedit ergo et bibit et rursum obdormivit
7 And the angel of the Lord returned again, and touched him, and said to him, Arise, and eat, for the journey [is] far from you.
reversusque est angelus Domini secundo et tetigit eum dixitque illi surge comede grandis enim tibi restat via
8 And he arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights to mount Choreb.
qui cum surrexisset comedit et bibit et ambulavit in fortitudine cibi illius quadraginta diebus et quadraginta noctibus usque ad montem Dei Horeb
9 And he entered there into a cave, and rested there; and, behold, the word of the Lord [came] to him, and he said, What [do] you here, Eliu?
cumque venisset illuc mansit in spelunca et ecce sermo Domini ad eum dixitque illi quid hic agis Helia
10 And Eliu said, I have been very jealous for the Lord Almighty, because the children of Israel have forsaken you: they have digged down your altars, and have slain your prophets with the sword; and I only am left alone, and they seek my life to take it.
at ille respondit zelo zelatus sum pro Domino Deo exercituum quia dereliquerunt pactum Domini filii Israhel altaria tua destruxerunt et prophetas tuos occiderunt gladio et derelictus sum ego solus et quaerunt animam meam ut auferant eam
11 And he said, You shall go forth to-morrow, and shall stand before the Lord in the mount; behold, the Lord will pass by. And, behold, a great [and] strong wind rending the mountains, and crushing the rocks before the Lord; [but] the Lord [was] not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake; [but] the Lord [was] not in the earthquake:
et ait ei egredere et sta in monte coram Domino et ecce Dominus transit et spiritus grandis et fortis subvertens montes et conterens petras ante Dominum non in spiritu Dominus et post spiritum commotio non in commotione Dominus
12 and after the earthquake a fire; [but] the Lord [was] not in the fire: and after the fire the voice of a gentle breeze.
et post commotionem ignis non in igne Dominus et post ignem sibilus aurae tenuis
13 And it came to pass when Eliu heard, that he wrapt his face in his mantle, and went forth and stood in the cave: and, behold, a voice [came] to him and said, What [do] you here, Eliu?
quod cum audisset Helias operuit vultum suum pallio et egressus stetit in ostio speluncae et ecce vox ad eum dicens quid agis hic Helia
14 And Eliu said, I have been very jealous for the Lord Almighty; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, and they have overthrown your altars, and have slain your prophets with the sword! and I am left entirely alone, and they seek my life to take it.
et ille respondit zelo zelatus sum pro Domino Deo exercituum quia dereliquerunt pactum tuum filii Israhel altaria tua destruxerunt et prophetas tuos occiderunt gladio et derelictus sum ego solus et quaerunt animam meam ut auferant eam
15 And the Lord said to him, Go, return, and you shall come into the way of the wilderness of Damascus: and you shall go and anoint Azael to be king over Syria.
et ait Dominus ad eum vade et revertere in viam tuam per desertum in Damascum cumque perveneris ungues Azahel regem super Syriam
16 And Ju the son of Namessi shall you anoint to be king over Israel; and Elisaie the son of Saphat shall you anoint to be prophet in your room.
et Hieu filium Namsi ungues regem super Israhel Heliseum autem filium Saphat qui est de Abelmaula ungues prophetam pro te
17 And it shall come to pass, that him that escapes from the sword of Azael, Ju shall kill; and him that escapes from the sword of Ju, Elisaie shall kill.
et erit quicumque fugerit gladium Azahel occidet eum Hieu et qui fugerit gladium Hieu interficiet eum Heliseus
18 And you shall leave in Israel seven thousand men, all the knees which had not bowed themselves to Baal, and every mouth which had not worshipped him.
et derelinquam mihi in Israhel septem milia universorum genua quae non sunt incurvata Baal et omne os quod non adoravit eum osculans manum
19 And he departed thence, and finds Elisaie the son of Saphat, and he was ploughing with oxen; [there were] twelve yoke before him, and he with the twelve, and he passed by to him, and cast his mantle upon him.
profectus ergo inde repperit Heliseum filium Saphat arantem duodecim iugis boum et ipse in duodecim arantibus unus erat cumque venisset Helias ad eum misit pallium suum super illum
20 And Elisaie left the cattle, and ran after Eliu and said, I will kiss my father, and follow after you. And Eliu said, Return, for I have done [a work] for you.
qui statim relictis bubus cucurrit post Heliam et ait osculer oro te patrem meum et matrem meam et sic sequar te dixitque ei vade et revertere quod enim meum erat feci tibi
21 And he returned from following him, and took a yoke of oxen, and killed them, and boiled them with the instruments of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate: and he arose, and went after Eliu, and ministered to him.
reversus autem ab eo tulit par boum et mactavit illud et in aratro boum coxit carnes et dedit populo et comederunt consurgensque abiit et secutus est Heliam et ministrabat ei
