< I Regum 19 >
1 Nunciavit autem Achab Iezabel omnia quae fecerat Elias, et quo modo occidisset universos prophetas gladio.
And he told Ahab to Jezebel all that he had done Elijah and all that he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
2 Misitque Iezabel nuncium ad Eliam, dicens: Haec mihi faciant dii, et haec addant, nisi hac hora cras posuero animam tuam sicut animam unius ex illis.
And she sent Jezebel a messenger to Elijah saying thus may they do! [the] gods and thus may they add! if about this time tomorrow I will make life your like [the] life of one from them.
3 Timuit ergo Elias, et surgens abiit quocumque eum ferebat voluntas: venitque in Bersabee Iuda, et dimisit ibi puerum suum,
And he saw and he arose and he went to life his and he came Beer Sheba which [belongs] to Judah and he left servant his there.
4 et perrexit in desertum, viam unius diei. Cumque venisset, et sederet subter unam iuniperum, petivit animae suae ut moreretur, et ait: Sufficit mihi Domine, tolle animam meam: neque enim melior sum, quam patres mei.
And he he went in the wilderness a journey of a day and he came and he sat under a broom plant (one *Q(k)*) and he asked self his to die and he said - enough now O Yahweh take life my for not [am] good I more than ancestors my.
5 Proiecitque se, et obdormivit in umbra iuniperi: et ecce Angelus Domini tetigit eum, et dixit illi: Surge, et comede.
And he lay down and he slept under a broom plant one and there! this an angel [was] touching him and he said to him arise eat.
6 Respexit, et ecce ad caput suum subcinericius panis, et vas aquae: comedit ergo, et bibit, et rursum obdormivit.
And he looked and there! [was] [the] place of head his a bread cake of hot coals and a jug of water and he ate and he drank and he returned and he lay down.
7 Reversusque est Angelus Domini secundo, et tetigit eum, dixitque illi: Surge, comede: grandis enim tibi restat via.
And he returned [the] angel of Yahweh - a second [time] and he touched him and he said arise eat for [is too] great for you the journey.
8 Qui cum surrexisset, comedit et bibit, et ambulavit in fortitudine cibi illius quadraginta diebus, et quadraginta noctibus, usque ad montem Dei Horeb.
And he arose and he ate and he drank and he went in [the] strength of - the food that forty day[s] and forty night[s] to [the] mountain of God Horeb.
9 Cumque venisset illuc, mansit in spelunca: et ecce sermo Domini ad eum, dixitque illi: Quid hic agis Elia?
And he went there into the cave and he spent [the] night there and there! [the] word of Yahweh [was] to him and he said to him what? [is] to you here O Elijah.
10 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 quaerunt animam meam ut auferant eam.
And he said certainly I have been zealous for Yahweh - [the] God of hosts for they have forsaken covenant your [the] people of Israel altars your they have torn down and prophets your they have killed with the sword and I am left I to alone me and they have sought life my to take away it.
11 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,
And he said go out and you will stand on the mountain before Yahweh and there! Yahweh [was] passing by and a wind great and strong [was] tearing mountains and breaking rocks before Yahweh not [was] in the wind Yahweh and [was] after the wind an earthquake not [was] in the earthquake Yahweh.
12 et post commotionem ignis: non in igne Dominus, et post ignem sibilus aurae tenuis.
And [was] after the earthquake a fire not [was] in the fire Yahweh and [was] after the fire a sound of a whisper soft.
13 Quod cum audisset Elias, operuit vultum suum pallio, et egressus stetit in ostio speluncae, et ecce vox ad eum dicens: Quid hic agis Elia? Et ille respondit:
And it was - when heard Elijah and he wrapped face his in cloak his and he went out and he stood [the] entrance of the cave and there! [was] to him a voice and it said what? [is] to you here O Elijah.
14 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 quaerunt animam meam ut auferant eam.
And he said certainly I have been zealous for Yahweh - [the] God of hosts for they have forsaken covenant your [the] people of Israel altars your they have torn down and prophets your they have killed with the sword and I am left I to alone me and they have sought life my to take away it.
15 Et ait Dominus ad eum: Vade, et revertere in viam tuam per desertum in Damascum: cumque perveneris illuc, unges Hazael regem super Syriam,
And he said Yahweh to him go go back to way your [the] wilderness of towards Damascus and you will go and you will anoint Hazael to king over Aram.
16 et Iehu filium Namsi unges regem super Israel: Eliseum autem filium Saphat, qui est de Abelmeula, unges prophetam pro te.
And Jehu [the] son of Nimshi you will anoint to king over Israel and Elisha [the] son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah you will anoint to prophet in place of you.
17 Et erit, quicumque fugerit gladium Hazael, occidet eum Iehu: et quicumque fugerit gladium Iehu, interficiet eum Eliseus.
And it will be the [one who] escapes from [the] sword of Hazael he will put to death Jehu and the [one who] escapes from [the] sword of Jehu he will put to death Elisha.
18 Et derelinquam mihi in Israel septem millia virorum, quorum genua non sunt incurvata ante Baal, et omne os, quod non adoravit eum osculans manum.
And I will leave among Israel seven thousand all the knees which not they have bowed down to Baal and every mouth which not it has kissed it.
19 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.
And he went from there and he found Elisha [the] son of Shaphat and he [was] plowing two [plus] ten pairs [were] before him and he [was] with two [plus] the ten and he passed on Elijah to him and he threw cloak his to him.
20 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.
And he left the ox[en] and he ran after Elijah and he said I want to kiss please father my and mother my and I will go after you and he said to him go turn back for what? have I done to you.
21 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.
And he turned back from after him and he took [the] pair of the ox[en] and he sacrificed it and with [the] equipment of the ox[en] he cooked them the flesh and he gave [it] to the people and they ate and he arose and he went after Elijah and he served him.
