1 Kings 17
1 And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, As Jehovah the God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except by 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 mea verba.
2 And the word of Jehovah came to him saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad eum, dicens:
3 Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the torrent Cherith, which 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 shalt drink of the torrent; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
et ibi de torrente bibes: corvisque præcepi ut pascant te ibi.
5 And he went and did according to the word of Jehovah; he went and abode by the torrent Cherith, which 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 torrent.
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 torrent dried up, for there had been 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, go to Zarephath, which is by Zidon, and abide there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to maintain thee.
Surge, et vade in Sarephta Sidoniorum, et manebis ibi: præcepi enim ibi mulieri viduæ ut pascat te.
10 And he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the entrance of the city, behold, a widow woman 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 aquæ in vase, ut bibam.
11 And she went to fetch [it], and 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 liveth, I have not a cake, but a handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a 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.
Quæ respondit: Vivit Dominus Deus tuus, quia non habeo panem, nisi quantum pugillus capere potest farinæ 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, do as thou hast said; but make me thereof a little cake first; and bring it to me; and afterwards 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 saith Jehovah the God of Israel: The meal in the barrel shall not waste, neither shall the oil in the cruse fail, until the day that Jehovah sendeth rain upon the face of the earth!
Hæc autem dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Hydria farinæ non deficiet, nec lecythus olei minuetur usque ad diem, in qua Dominus daturus est pluviam super faciem terræ.
15 And she went and did according to the word of Elijah; and she, and he, and her house, ate a whole year.
Quæ abiit, et fecit iuxta verbum Eliæ: et comedit ipse, et illa, et domus eius: et ex illa die
16 The meal in the barrel did not waste, neither did the oil in the cruse fail, according to the word of Jehovah which he had spoken through Elijah.
hydria farinæ non defecit, et lecythus olei non est imminutus, iuxta verbum Domini, quod locutus fuerat in manu Eliæ.
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 hæc, ægrotavit 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? art thou come to me to call mine iniquity to remembrance, and to slay my son?
Dixit ergo ad Eliam: Quid mihi et tibi vir Dei? Ingressus es ad me, ut rememorarentur iniquitates meæ, 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 upper 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 cœnaculum ubi ipse manebat, et posuit super lectulum suum.
20 And he cried to Jehovah and said, Jehovah, my God, hast 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, 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 heard the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the child came into him again, and he lived.
Et exaudivit Dominus vocem Eliæ: et reversa est anima pueri intra eum, et revixit.
23 And Elijah took the child, and brought him down from the upper chamber into the house, and delivered him to his mother; and Elijah said, See, thy son lives.
Tulitque Elias puerum, et deposuit eum de cœnaculo in inferiorem domum, et tradidit matri suæ, et ait illi: En vivit filius tuus.
24 And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art 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.
