1 Kings 19
1 Now Ahab tolde Iezebel all that Eliiah had done, and how he had slaine all the prophets with the sword.
Nunciavit autem Achab Iezabel omnia quæ fecerat Elias, et quomodo occidisset universos prophetas gladio.
2 Then Iezebel sent a messenger vnto Eliiah, saying, The gods doe so to me and more also, if I make not thy life like one of their liues by to morowe this time.
Misitque Iezabel nuncium ad Eliam, dicens: Hæc mihi faciant dii, et hæc addant, nisi hac hora cras posuero animam tuam sicut animam unius ex illis.
3 When he sawe that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which is in Iudah, and left his seruant there.
Timuit ergo Elias, et surgens abiit quocumque eum ferebat voluntas: venitque in Bersabee Iuda, et dimisit ibi puerum suum,
4 But he went a dayes iourney into the wildernesse, and came and sate downe vnder a iuniper tree, and desired that he might die, and sayde, It is now ynough: O Lord, take my soule, for I am no better then my fathers.
et perrexit in desertum, viam unius diei. Cumque venisset, et sederet subter unam iuniperum, petivit animæ suæ ut moreretur, et ait: Sufficit mihi Domine, tolle animam meam: neque enim melior sum, quam patres mei.
5 And as he lay and slept vnder the iuniper tree, behold now, an Angel touched him, and said vnto him, Vp, and eate.
Proiecitque se, et obdormivit in umbra iuniperi: et ecce Angelus Domini tetigit eum, et dixit illi: Surge, et comede.
6 And when he looked about, behold, there was a cake baken on the coles, and a pot of water at his head: so he did eate and drinke, and returned and slept.
Respexit, et ecce ad caput suum subcinericius panis, et vas aquæ: comedit ergo, et bibit, et rursum obdormivit.
7 And the Angel of the Lord came againe the second time, and touched him, and sayd, Vp, and eate: for thou hast a great iourney.
Reversusque est Angelus Domini secundo, et tetigit eum, dixitque illi: Surge, comede: grandis enim tibi restat via.
8 Then he arose, and did eate and drinke, and walked in the strength of that meate fourtie dayes and fourtie nights, vnto Horeb the mount of God.
Qui cum surrexisset, comedit et bibit, et ambulavit in fortitudine cibi illius quadraginta diebus, et quadraginta noctibus, usque ad montem Dei Horeb.
9 And there he entred into a caue, and lodged there: and beholde, the Lord spake to him, and said vnto him, What doest thou here, Eliiah?
Cumque venisset illuc, mansit in spelunca: et ecce sermo Domini ad eum, dixitque illi: Quid hic agis Elia?
10 And he answered, I haue bene very ielous for the Lord God of hostes: for the children of Israel haue forsaken thy couenant, broken downe thine altars, and slayne thy Prophets with the sword, and I onely am left, and they seeke my life to take it away.
At ille respondit: Zelo zelatus sum pro Domino Deo exercituum, quia dereliquerunt pactum tuum filii Israel: altaria tua destruxerunt, prophetas tuos occiderunt gladio, derelictus sum ego solus, et quærunt animam meam ut auferant eam.
11 And he saide, Come out, and stand vpon the mount before the Lord. And beholde, the Lord went by, and a mightie strong winde rent the mountaines, and brake the rockes before the Lord: but the Lord was not in the winde: and after the wind came 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 came fire: but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire came a still and soft voyce.
et post commotionem ignis: non in igne Dominus, et post ignem sibilus auræ tenuis.
13 And when Eliiah heard it, he couered his face with his mantel, and went out, and stoode in the entring in of ye caue: and behold, there came a voyce vnto him, and sayd, What doest thou here, Eliiah?
Quod cum audisset Elias, operuit vultum suum pallio, et egressus stetit in ostio speluncæ, et ecce vox ad eum dicens: Quid hic agis Elia? Et ille respondit:
14 And he answered, I haue bene very ielous for the Lord God of hostes, because the children of Israel haue forsaken thy couenant, cast downe thine altars, and slayne thy Prophets with the sworde, and I onely am left, and they seeke my life to take it away.
Zelo zelatus sum pro Domino Deo exercituum: quia dereliquerunt pactum tuum filii Israel: altaria tua destruxerunt, prophetas tuos occiderunt gladio, derelictus sum ego solus, et quærunt animam meam ut auferant eam.
15 And the Lord said vnto him, Goe, returne by the wildernes vnto Damascus, and when thou commest there, anoint Hazael King ouer Aram.
Et ait Dominus ad eum: Vade, et revertere in viam tuam per desertum in Damascum: cumque perveneris illuc, unges Hazael regem super Syriam,
16 And Iehu the sonne of Nimshi shalt thou anoynt King ouer Israel: and Elisha the sonne of Shaphat of Abel Meholah shalt thou anoynt to be Prophet in thy roume.
et Iehu filium Namsi unges regem super Israel: Eliseum autem filium Saphat, qui est de Abelmeula, unges prophetam pro te.
17 And him that escapeth from the sworde of Hazael, shall Iehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Iehu, shall Elisha slay.
Et erit, quicumque fugerit gladium Hazael, occidet eum Iehu: et quicumque fugerit gladium Iehu, interficiet eum Eliseus.
18 Yet wil I leaue seuen thousand in Israel, euen all the knees that haue not bowed vnto Baal, and euery mouth that hath not kissed him.
Et derelinquam mihi in Israel septem millia virorum, quorum genua non sunt incurvata ante Baal, et omne os, quod non adoravit eum osculans manus.
19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the sonne of Shaphat who was plowing with twelue yoke of oxen before him, and was with the twelft: and Eliiah went towards him, and cast his mantel vpon him.
Profectus ergo inde Elias, reperit Eliseum filium Saphat, arantem in duodecim iugis boum. Et ipse in duodecim iugis boum arantibus unus erat: cumque venisset Elias ad eum, misit pallium suum super illum.
20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Eliiah, and sayde, Let mee, I pray thee, kisse my father and my mother, and then I wil follow thee. Who answered him, Go, returne: for what haue I done to thee?
Qui statim relictis bobus cucurrit post Eliam, et ait: Osculer, oro, patrem meum, et matrem meam, et sic sequar te. Dixitque ei: Vade, et revertere: quod enim meum erat, feci tibi.
21 And when he went backe againe from him, he tooke a couple of oxen, and slewe them, and sod their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gaue vnto the people, and they did eate: then he arose and went after Eliiah, and ministred vnto 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 Eliam, et ministrabat ei.
