1 Kings 17
1 Then said Elijah the Tishbite, of Tishbe in Gilead, unto Ahab, By the life of Yahweh, God of Israel, before whom I stand, there shall not, these two years, be either dew or rain, —save at the bidding of my word.
ギレアデに居住れるテシベ人エリヤ、アハブに言ふ吾事ふるイスララエルの神ヱホバは活くわが言なき時は數年雨露あらざるべしと
2 Then came the word of Yahweh unto him, saying:
ヱホバの言彼に臨みて曰く
3 Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, —and hide thyself in the ravine of Cherith, which faceth the Jordan;
爾此より往て東に赴きヨルダンの前にあるケリテ川に身を匿せ
4 and it shall be that, of the torrent, shalt thou drink, —and, the ravens, have I commanded to sustain thee, there.
爾其川の水を飮べし我鴉に命じて彼處にて爾を養はしむと
5 So he went and did, according to the word of Yahweh, —yea he went and dwelt in the ravine of Cherith, which faceth the Jordan.
彼往てヱホバの言の如く爲り即ち往てヨルダンの前にあるケリテ川に住り
6 And, the ravens, used to bring him bread and flesh, in the morning, and bread and flesh, in the evening, —and, of the torrent, used he to drink.
彼の所に鴉朝にパンと肉亦夕にパンと肉を運べり彼は川に飮り
7 But it came to pass, at the end of [certain] days, that the torrent dried up, —because there had been no rain in the land.
しかるに國に雨なかりければ數日の後其川涸ぬ
8 Then came the word of Yahweh unto him, saying—
ヱホバの言彼に臨みて曰
9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there, —Lo! I have commanded, there, a widow woman, to sustain thee.
起てシドンに屬するザレバテに往て其處に住め視よ我彼處の嫠婦に命じて爾を養はしむと
10 So he arose and went to Zarephath, and, when he came to the entrance of the city, lo! there, a widow woman gathering sticks, —and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
彼起てザレパテに往けるが邑の門に至れる時一人の嫠婦の其處に薪を採ふを見たり乃ち之を呼て曰けるは請ふ器に少許の水を我に携來りて我に飮せよと
11 And, as she went to fetch it, he called to her and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread, in thy hand.
彼之を携きたらんとて往る時エリヤ彼を呼て言けるは請ふ爾の手に一口のパンを我に取きたれと
12 And she said—By the life of Yahweh, thy God, verily I have not a cake, only a handful of meal in the jar, and a little oil in the cruse, —and lo! I have been gathering a couple of sticks, so I shall go in and make it ready for me and for my son, that we may eat it—and die!
彼いひけるは爾の神ヱホバは活く我はパン無し只桶に一握の粉と瓶に少許の油あるのみ觀よ我は二の薪を採ふ我いりてわれとわが子のために調理て之をくらひて死んとす
13 And Elijah said unto her—Do not fear, go in—make ready according to thy word, —howbeit, make me thereof a little cake, first, and bring it out to me, and, for thyself and thy son, make ready, afterwards.
エリヤ彼に言ふ懼るるなかれ往て汝がいへる如くせよ但し先其をもてわが爲に小きパン一を作りて我に携きたり其後爾のためと爾の子のために作るべし
14 For, thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, The jar of meal, shall not waste, and, the cruse of oil, shall not fail, —until the day that Yahweh giveth rain upon the face of the ground.
其はヱホバの雨を地の面に降したまふ日までは其桶の粉は竭ず其瓶の油は絶ずとイスラエルの神ヱホバ言たまへばなりと
15 So she went and made ready, according to the word of Elijah, —and did eat, she, and he, and her house, [certain] days:
彼ゆきてエリヤの言るごとくなし彼と其家及びエリヤ久く食へり
16 The jar of meal, did not waste, —and, the cruse of oil, did not fail, —according to the word of Yahweh, which he spake through Elijah.
ヱホバのエリヤに由て言たまひし言のごとく桶の粉は竭ず瓶の油は絶ざりき
17 And it came to pass, after these things, that the son of the woman, owner of the house, fell sick, —yea it came to pass that his sickness was very severe, until no, breath, was left in him.
是等の事の後其家の主母なる婦の子疾に罹しが其病甚だ劇くして氣息其中に絶て無きに至れり
18 Then said she unto Elijah, What have I in common with thee, O man of God? Hast thou come unto me, to call to remembrance mine iniquity, and to cause the death of my son?
婦エリアに言けるは神の人よ汝なんぞ吾事に關渉るべけんや汝はわが罪を憶ひ出さしめんため又わが子を死しめんために我に來れるか
19 And he said unto her—Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him unto the upper room, where, he, was staying, and laid him upon his own bed.
エリヤ彼に爾の子を我に授せと言て之を其懐より取り之を己の居る桜に抱のぼりて己の牀に臥しめ
20 Then cried he unto Yahweh, and said, —O Yahweh, my God! Even upon the widow with whom I am sojourning, hast thou brought misfortune by causing the death of her son?
ヱホバに呼はりていひけるは吾神ヱホバよ爾は亦吾ともに宿る嫠に菑をくだして其子を死しめたまふやと
21 And he stretched himself out upon the boy, three times, and cried unto Yahweh, and said, —O Yahweh, my God! Let the life of this boy, I pray thee, come again within him.
而して三度身を伸して其子の上に伏しヱホバに呼はりて言ふわが神ヱホバ願くは此子の魂を中に歸しめたまへと
22 And Yahweh hearkened unto the voice of Elijah, —and the life of the boy came again within him, and he lived.
ヱホバ、エリヤの聲を聽いれたまひしかば其子の魂中にかへりて生たり
23 Then Elijah took the boy, and carried him down out of the upper room, into the house, and gave him to his mother, —and Elijah said, See! thy son liveth.
エリヤ乃ち其子を取て之を桜より家に携くだり其母に與していひけるは視よ爾の子は生くと
24 And the woman said unto Elijah, Now, then I know, that, a man of God, thou art, —and that, the word of Yahweh, is in thy mouth, of a truth.
婦エリヤにいひけるは此に縁て我は爾が神の人にして爾の口にあるヱホバの言は眞實なるを知ると
