1 Kings 17
1 And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, "As YHWH, the God of Israel, lives, 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 YHWH came to him, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad eum, dicens:
3 "Go away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Wadi Cherith, that is near the Jordan.
Recede hinc, et vade contra Orientem, et abscondere in torrente Carith, qui est contra Iordanem,
4 And it shall be that you will drink from the wadi. I have commanded the ravens to feed you there."
et ibi de torrente bibes: corvisque præcepi ut pascant te ibi.
5 So he went and did according to the word of YHWH; for he went and lived by the Wadi Cherith, that is near 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 meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening. And he drank from the wadi.
Corvi quoque deferebant ei panem et carnes mane, similiter panem et carnes vesperi, et bibebat de torrente.
7 And it happened after a while that the wadi dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
Post dies autem siccatus est torrens: non enim pluerat super terram.
8 The word of YHWH came to him, saying,
Factus est ergo sermo Domini ad eum, dicens:
9 "Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Look, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you."
Surge, et vade in Sarephta Sidoniorum, et manebis ibi: præcepi enim ibi mulieri viduæ ut pascat te.
10 So he got up and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, look, a widow was there gathering wood. And he called to her, and said, "Please bring me a little water in a pitcher, 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 as she was going to get it, he called to her, and said, "Please bring me a piece of bread in your hand."
Cumque illa pergeret ut afferret, clamavit post tergum eius, dicens: Affer mihi, obsecro, et buccellam panis in manu tua.
12 She said, "As YHWH your God lives, I do not have anything baked, except a handful of flour in a jar, and a little oil in a jug. Look, I am gathering a couple of sticks, that I may go in and bake 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, "Do not be afraid. Go and do as you have said. But make me of it a little cake first, and bring it out to me, and afterward make some for yourself and for your 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 says YHWH, the God of Israel, 'The jar of flour shall not empty, neither shall the jug of oil be empty, until the day that YHWH sends rain on the surface of the land.'"
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 saying of Elijah. And she, and he, and her household, ate for a long time.
Quæ abiit, et fecit iuxta verbum Eliæ: et comedit ipse, et illa, et domus eius: et ex illa die
16 The jar of flour did not empty, neither did the jug of oil become empty, according to the word of YHWH, which he spoke by Elijah.
hydria farinæ non defecit, et lecythus olei non est imminutus, iuxta verbum Domini, quod locutus fuerat in manu Eliæ.
17 It happened after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick. And his illness 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 do we have in common, O man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to memory, and to kill 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 your son." And he took him out of her lap and carried him up into the room where he stayed, and laid him on 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 He cried to YHWH, and said, "YHWH my God, have you also brought disaster on the widow with whom I sojourn, by killing 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 called out to YHWH, and said, "YHWH my God, please 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 YHWH listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
Et exaudivit Dominus vocem Eliæ: et reversa est anima pueri intra eum, et revixit.
23 And Elijah took the child and brought him down out of the room into the house and gave him to his mother. And Elijah said, "See, your 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 I know that you are a man of God and that the word of YHWH in your mouth is the truth."
Dixitque mulier ad Eliam: Nunc, in isto cognovi quoniam vir Dei es tu, et verbum Domini in ore tuo verum est.
