1 Kings 17
1 Elijah the Tishbite, (from Tishbe in Gilead), told Ahab, “As the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, the one I serve, in the years to come there will be not be any dew or rain unless I say so!”
et dixit Helias Thesbites de habitatoribus Galaad ad Ahab vivit Dominus Deus Israhel in cuius conspectu sto si erit annis his ros et pluvia nisi iuxta oris mei verba
2 Then the Lord told Elijah,
et factum est verbum Domini ad eum dicens
3 “Leave here and go east. Hide in the valley of the Cherith brook where it meets the Jordan.
recede hinc et vade contra orientem et abscondere in torrente Charith qui est contra Iordanem
4 You can drink from the brook, and I have ordered ravens to bring you food you there.”
et ibi de torrente bibes corvisque praecepi ut pascant te ibi
5 So Elijah did what the Lord told him. He went to the valley of the Cherith brook, where it meets the Jordan, and stayed there.
abiit ergo et fecit iuxta verbum Domini cumque abisset sedit in torrente Charith qui est contra Iordanem
6 Ravens brought him bread and meat both in the morning and in the evening, and he drank from the brook.
corvi quoque deferebant panem et carnes mane similiter panem et carnes vesperi et bibebat de torrente
7 A while later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land.
post dies autem siccatus est torrens non enim pluerat super terram
8 Then the Lord told Elijah,
factus est igitur sermo Domini ad eum dicens
9 “Leave here and go to Zarephath near Sidon and stay there. I have given instructions to a widow there to provide you with food.”
surge et vade in Sareptha Sidoniorum et manebis ibi praecepi enim ibi mulieri viduae ut pascat te
10 So he left for Zarephath. When he arrived at the entrance to the town, he saw a woman, a widow, gathering sticks. He called her over and asked her, “Could you bring me a little water in a cup so I can have a drink?”
surrexit et abiit Sareptham cumque venisset ad portam civitatis apparuit ei mulier vidua colligens ligna et vocavit eam dixitque da mihi paululum aquae in vase ut bibam
11 As she was going to get it, he called after her and said, “Oh, and please bring me a piece of bread.”
cumque illa pergeret ut adferret clamavit post tergum eius dicens adfer mihi obsecro et buccellam panis in manu tua
12 She replied, “As the Lord your God lives, I have no bread, only a handful of flour is left in a jar and a little bit of olive oil in a jug. Right now I am gathering a few of sticks so I can go and cook what's left for myself and my son so we can eat it, and then we'll 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 illud mihi et filio meo ut comedamus et moriamur
13 Elijah said to her, “Don't be afraid. Go home and do what you said. But first make me a small loaf of bread from what you have and bring it to me. Then make something for yourself and your son.
ad quam Helias ait noli timere sed vade et fac sicut dixisti verumtamen mihi primum fac de ipsa farinula subcinericium panem parvulum et adfer ad me tibi autem et filio tuo facies postea
14 For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour will not become empty and the jug of olive oil will not run out until the day the Lord sends rain to water the ground.”
haec autem dicit Dominus Deus Israhel hydria farinae non deficiet nec lecythus olei minuetur usque ad diem in qua daturus est Dominus pluviam super faciem terrae
15 She went and did as Elijah had told her, and Elijah, the widow, and her household were able to eat for many days.
quae abiit et fecit iuxta verbum Heliae et comedit ipse et illa et domus eius et ex illa die
16 The jar of flour was did not become empty and the jug of olive oil did not run out, just as the Lord had said through Elijah.
hydria farinae non defecit et lecythus olei non est inminutus iuxta verbum Domini quod locutus fuerat in manu Heliae
17 Later on the woman's son fell sick. (She was the one who owned the house.) He went from bad to worse, and finally he died.
factum est autem post verba haec aegrotavit filius mulieris matris familiae et erat languor fortis nimis ita ut non remaneret in eo halitus
18 “What are you doing to me, man of God?” the woman asked Elijah. “Have you come to remind me about my sins and cause my son to die?”
dixit ergo ad Heliam quid mihi et tibi vir Dei ingressus es ad me ut rememorarentur iniquitates meae et interficeres filium meum
19 “Give me your son,” Elijah replied. He picked him up from her arms, carried him upstairs to the room where he was staying, and laid him on his bed.
et ait ad eam da mihi filium tuum tulitque eum de sinu illius et portavit in cenaculum ubi ipse manebat et posuit super lectulum suum
20 Then he cried out to the Lord, saying, “Lord my God, why have you allowed this to happen to this widow who has opened her home to me, this terrible tragedy of causing her son to die?”
et clamavit ad Dominum et dixit Domine Deus meus etiamne viduam apud quam ego utcumque sustentor adflixisti ut interficeres filium eius
21 He stretched himself out on the boy three times, and cried out to the Lord, “Lord my God, please let this boy's life return to him!”
et expandit se atque mensus est super puerum tribus vicibus clamavitque ad Dominum et ait Domine Deus meus revertatur oro anima pueri huius in viscera eius
22 The Lord responded to Elijah's cry. The boy's life returned to him, and he lived!
exaudivit Dominus vocem Heliae et reversa est anima pueri intra eum et revixit
23 Elijah took the boy and brought him down from the room into the house, and gave him to his mother. “See, your son is alive,” Elijah told her.
tulitque Helias puerum et deposuit eum de cenaculo in inferiorem domum et tradidit matri suae et ait illi en vivit filius tuus
24 “Now I'm convinced that you are a man of God, and that what the Lord speaks through you is the truth,” the woman replied.
dixitque mulier ad Heliam nunc in isto cognovi quoniam vir Dei es tu et verbum Domini in ore tuo verum est
