I Regum 17
1 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 mei verba.
Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, “As Yahweh, the God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there will not be dew or rain these years unless I say so.”
2 Et factum est verbum Domini ad eum, dicens:
The word of Yahweh came to Elijah, saying,
3 Recede hinc, et vade contra Orientem, et abscondere in Torrente carith, qui est contra Iordanem,
“Leave from here and go eastward; hide yourself by the brook Kerith, east of the Jordan.
4 et ibi de torrente bibes: corvisque praecepi ut pascant te ibi.
It will happen that you will drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
5 Abiit ergo, et fecit iuxta verbum Domini: cumque abiisset, sedit in Torrente carith, qui est contra Iordanem.
So Elijah went and did as the word of Yahweh commanded. He went to live by the brook Kerith, east of the Jordan.
6 Corvi quoque deferebant ei panem et carnes mane, similiter panem et carnes vesperi, et bibebat de torrente.
The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.
7 Post dies autem siccatus est torrens: non enim pluerat super terram.
But after a while the brook dried up because there was no rain in the land.
8 Factus est ergo sermo Domini ad eum, dicens:
The word of Yahweh came to him, saying,
9 Surge, et vade in Sarephta Sidoniorum, et manebis ibi: praecepi enim ibi mulieri viduae ut pascat te.
“Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and live there. Look, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.”
10 Surrexit, et abiit in Sarephta. Cumque venisset ad portam civitatis, apparuit ei mulier vidua colligens ligna, et vocavit eam, dixitque ei: Da mihi paululum aquae in vase, ut bibam.
So he arose and went to Zarephath, and when he came to the gate of the city a widow was there gathering sticks. So he called to her and said, “Please bring me a little water in a jar so that I may drink.”
11 Cumque illa pergeret ut afferret, clamavit post tergum eius, dicens: Affer mihi, obsecro, et buccellam panis in manu tua.
As she was going to get water he called to her, and said, “Please bring me a piece of bread in your hand.”
12 Quae respondit: Vivit Dominus Deus tuus, quia non habeo panem, nisi quantum pugillus capere potest farinae in hydria, et paululum olei in lecytho: en colligo duo ligna ut ingrediar et faciam illum mihi et filio meo, ut comedamus, et moriamur.
She replied, “As Yahweh your God lives, I do not have any bread, but only a handful of meal in a jar and a little oil in a jug. See, I am gathering two sticks so I may go in and cook it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.”
13 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.
Elijah said to her, “Do not fear. Go and do as you have said, but make me a little bread first and bring it out to me. Then afterward make some for you and for your son.
14 Haec autem dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Hydria farinae non deficiet, nec lecythus olei minuetur usque ad diem, in qua Dominus daturus est pluviam super faciem terrae.
For Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, 'The jar of meal will not empty, neither will the jug of oil stop flowing, until the day that Yahweh sends rain on the earth.”
15 Quae abiit, et fecit iuxta verbum Eliae: et comedit ipse, et illa, et domus eius: et ex illa die
So she did as Elijah had told her. She and Elijah, along with her household, ate for many days.
16 hydria farinae non defecit, et lecythus olei non est imminutus, iuxta verbum Domini, quod locutus fuerat in manu Eliae.
The jar of meal did not empty, neither did the jug of oil stop flowing, just as the word of Yahweh had said, as he had spoken by Elijah.
17 Factum est autem post haec, aegrotavit filius mulieris matris familias, et erat languor fortissimus ita ut non remaneret in eo halitus.
After these things the woman's son, the woman who owned the house, fell sick. His sickness was so severe that there was no more breath left in him.
18 Dixit ergo ad Eliam: Quid mihi et tibi vir Dei? ingressus es ad me, ut rememorarentur iniquitates meae, et interficeres filium meum?
So his mother said to Elijah, “What do you have against me, man of God? Have you come to me to remind me of my sin and to kill my son?”
19 Et ait ad eam Elias: Da mihi filium tuum. Tulitque eum de sinu eius, et portavit in caenaculum ubi ipse manebat, et posuit super lectulum suum.
Then Elijah replied to her, “Give me your son.” He took the boy from her arms and carried him up into the room where he was staying, and he laid the boy on his own bed.
20 Et clamavit ad Dominum, et dixit: Domine Deus meus, etiam ne viduam, apud quam ego utcumque sustentor, afflixisti ut interficeres filium eius?
He cried to Yahweh and said, “Yahweh my God, have you also brought disaster on the widow with whom I am staying, by killing her son?”
21 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.
Then Elijah stretched himself on the child three times; he cried out to Yahweh and said, “Yahweh my God, I beg you, please let this child's life return to him.”
22 Et exaudivit Dominus vocem Eliae: et reversa est anima pueri intra eum, et revixit.
Yahweh listened to the voice of Elijah; the life of the child returned to him, and he revived.
23 Tulitque Elias puerum, et deposuit eum de caenaculo in inferiorem domum, et tradidit matri suae, et ait illi: En vivit filius tuus.
Elijah took the child and brought him out of his room down into the house; he handed the boy to his mother and said, “See, your son is alive.”
24 Dixitque mulier ad Eliam: Nunc, in isto cognovi quoniam vir Dei es tu, et verbum Domini in ore tuo verum est.
The woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of Yahweh in your mouth is true.”
