1 Kings 17
1 And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, says to Ahab, “YHWH, God of Israel, lives, before whom I have stood, there is not dew and rain these years, except according to my word.”
基列寄居的提斯比人以利亞對亞哈說：「我指着所事奉永生耶和華－以色列的上帝起誓，這幾年我若不禱告，必不降露，不下雨。」
2 And the word of YHWH is to him, saying,
耶和華的話臨到以利亞說：
3 “Go from this [place]; and you have turned for yourself eastward, and been hidden by the Brook of Cherith that [is] on the front of the Jordan,
「你離開這裏往東去，藏在約旦河東邊的基立溪旁。
4 and it has been [that] you drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to sustain you there.”
你要喝那溪裏的水，我已吩咐烏鴉在那裏供養你。」
5 And he goes and does according to the word of YHWH, indeed, he goes and dwells by the Brook of Cherith, that [is] on the front of the Jordan,
於是以利亞照着耶和華的話，去住在約旦河東的基立溪旁。
6 and the ravens are bringing bread and flesh to him in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening, and he drinks from the brook.
烏鴉早晚給他叼餅和肉來，他也喝那溪裏的水。
7 And it comes to pass, at the end of [the] days, that the brook dries up, for there has been no rain in the land,
過了些日子，溪水就乾了，因為雨沒有下在地上。
8 and the word of YHWH is to him, saying,
耶和華的話臨到他說：
9 “Rise, go to Zarephath, that [belongs] to Sidon, and you have dwelt there; behold, I have commanded a widow woman to sustain you there.”
「你起身往西頓的撒勒法去，住在那裏；我已吩咐那裏的一個寡婦供養你。」
10 And he rises, and goes to Zarephath, and comes to the opening of the city, and behold, there [is] a widow woman gathering sticks, and he calls to her and says, “Please bring a little water to me in a vessel, and I drink.”
以利亞就起身往撒勒法去。到了城門，見有一個寡婦在那裏撿柴，以利亞呼叫她說：「求你用器皿取點水來給我喝。」
11 And she goes to bring [it], and he calls to her and says, “Please bring a morsel of bread to me in your hand.”
她去取水的時候，以利亞又呼叫她說：「也求你拿點餅來給我！」
12 And she says, “Your God YHWH lives, I do not have a cake, but the fullness of the hand of meal in a pitcher, and a little oil in a dish; and behold, I am gathering two sticks, and have gone in and prepared it for myself, and for my son, and we have eaten it—and died.”
她說：「我指着永生耶和華－你的上帝起誓，我沒有餅，罈內只有一把麵，瓶裏只有一點油；我現在找兩根柴，回家要為我和我兒子做餅；我們吃了，死就死吧！」
13 And Elijah says to her, “Do not fear, go, do according to your word, only make a little cake for me there, in the first place, and you have brought [it] out to me; and for you and for your son make [it] last;
以利亞對她說：「不要懼怕！可以照你所說的去做吧！只要先為我做一個小餅拿來給我，然後為你和你的兒子做餅。
14 for thus said YHWH, God of Israel: The pitcher of meal is not consumed, and the dish of oil is not lacking, until the day of YHWH’s giving a shower on the face of the ground.”
因為耶和華－以色列的上帝如此說：罈內的麵必不減少，瓶裏的油必不缺短，直到耶和華使雨降在地上的日子。」
15 And she goes, and does according to the word of Elijah, and she eats, she and he and her household [for many] days;
婦人就照以利亞的話去行。她和她家中的人，並以利亞，吃了許多日子。
16 the pitcher of meal was not consumed, and the dish of oil did not lack, according to the word of YHWH that He spoke by the hand of Elijah.
罈內的麵果不減少，瓶裏的油也不缺短，正如耶和華藉以利亞所說的話。
17 And it comes to pass, after these things, the son of the woman, mistress of the house, has been sick, and his sickness is very severe until no breath has been left in him.
這事以後，作那家主母的婦人，她兒子病了；病得甚重，以致身無氣息。
18 And she says to Elijah, “What [is this] to me and to you, O man of God? You have come to me to cause my iniquity to be remembered, and to put my son to death!”
婦人對以利亞說：「神人哪，我與你何干？你竟到我這裏來，使上帝想念我的罪，以致我的兒子死呢？」
19 And he says to her, “Give your son to me”; and he takes him out of her bosom, and takes him up to the upper chamber where he is abiding, and lays him on his own bed,
以利亞對她說：「把你兒子交給我。」以利亞就從婦人懷中將孩子接過來，抱到他所住的樓中，放在自己的床上，
20 and cries to YHWH and says, “My God YHWH, have You also brought calamity on the widow with whom I am sojourning, to put her son to death?”
就求告耶和華說：「耶和華－我的上帝啊，我寄居在這寡婦的家裏，你就降禍與她，使她的兒子死了嗎？」
21 And he stretches himself out on the boy three times, and calls to YHWH and says, “O YHWH my God, please let the soul of this boy return into his midst”;
以利亞三次伏在孩子的身上，求告耶和華說：「耶和華－我的上帝啊，求你使這孩子的靈魂仍入他的身體！」
22 and YHWH listens to the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the boy turns back into his midst, and he lives.
耶和華應允以利亞的話，孩子的靈魂仍入他的身體，他就活了。
23 And Elijah takes the boy, and brings him down from the upper chamber of the house, and gives him to his mother, and Elijah says, “See, your son lives!”
以利亞將孩子從樓上抱下來，進屋子交給他母親，說：「看哪，你的兒子活了！」
24 And the woman says to Elijah, “Now [by] this I have known that you [are] a man of God, and the word of YHWH in your mouth [is] truth.”
婦人對以利亞說：「現在我知道你是神人，耶和華藉你口所說的話是真的。」
