1 Kings 17
1 And Eliiah the Tishbite one of the inhabitats of Gilead sayde vnto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liueth, before whom I stand, there shall be neither dewe nor rayne these yeeres, but according to my worde.
[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 worde of the Lord came vnto him, saying,
有上主的話傳於厄里亞說：「
3 Go hence, and turne thee Eastwarde, and hide thy selfe in the riuer Cherith, that is ouer against Iorden,
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 thou shalt drinke of the riuer: and I haue comanded the rauens to feede thee 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 So he went and did according vnto the word of the Lord: for he went, and remained by the riuer Cherith that is ouer against Iorden.
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 rauens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the euening, and he dranke of the riuer.
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 after a while the riuer dryed vp, because there fell no rayne vpon the earth.
不幾天以後，那地方沒有落雨，小河也乾涸了。
8 And the worde of the Lord came vnto him, saying,
有上主的話傳於厄里亞說：「
9 Vp, and get thee to Zarephath, which is in Zidon, and remaine there: beholde, I haue commanded a widow there to sustaine thee.
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 So he arose, and went to Zarephath: and when he came to the gate of the citie, beholde, the widowe was there gathering stickes: and he called her, and sayde, Bring me, I pray thee, a litle water in a vessel, that I may drinke.
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 as she was going to fet it, he called to her, and sayde, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsell of bread in thine 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 shee sayde, As the Lord thy God liueth, I haue not a cake, but euen an handfull of meale in a barrel, and a litle oyle in a cruse: and behold, I am gathering a fewe stickes for to go in, and dresse it for me and my sonne, that we may eate it, and dye.
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 Eliiah said vnto her, Feare not, come, do as thou hast sayd, but make me thereof a litle cake first of all, and bring it vnto mee, and afterward make for thee, and thy sonne.
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 saith the Lord God of Israel, The meale in the barrel shall not be wasted, neither shall the oyle in the cruse be diminished, vnto the time that the Lord send rayne vpon 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 So she went, and did as Eliiah sayd, and she did eate: so did he and her house for a certaine time.
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 The barrell of the meale wasted not, nor the oyle was spent out of the cruse, according to the worde of the Lord, which he spake by the hand of Eliiah.
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 after these things, the sonne of the wife of the house fell sicke, and his sicknesse was so sore, that 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 vnto Eliiah, What haue I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come vnto me to call my sinne to remembrance, and to slay my sonne?
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 he said vnto her, Giue me thy sonne. and he tooke him out of her bosome, and caryed him vp into a chamber, where he abode, and laid him vpon his owne 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 Then he called vnto the Lord, and sayde, O Lord my God, hast thou punished also this widowe, with whome I soiourne, by killing her sonne?
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 stretched himselfe vpon the childe three times, and called vnto the Lord, and saide, O Lord my God, I pray thee, let this childes soule come into him againe.
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 Then the Lord heard the voyce of Eliiah, and the soule of the child came into him againe, and he reuiued.
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 Eliiah tooke the childe, and brought him downe out of the chamber into the house, and deliuered him vnto his mother, and Eliiah sayd, Behold, thy sonne liueth.
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 saide vnto Eliiah, Now I knowe that thou art a man of God, and that the worde of the Lord in thy 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。」
