Третья книга Царств 17
1 И рече Илиа пророк Фесвитянин, иже от фесвии Галаадския, ко Ахааву: жив Господь Бог сил, Бог Израилев, Емуже предстою пред Ним, аще будет в лета сия роса и дождь, точию от уст словесе моего.
And Elias the Thesbite of the inhabitants of Galaad said to Achab: As the Lord liveth the God of Israel, in whose sight I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to the words of my mouth.
2 И бысть глагол Господень ко Илии:
And the word of the Lord came to him, saying:
3 иди отсюду на восток и скрыйся в потоце Хорафа прямо лицу Иорданову:
Get thee hence, and go towards the east and hide thyself by the torrent of Carith, which is over against the Jordan,
4 и будеши пити от потока воду, и враном заповедах препитати тя тамо.
And there thou shalt drink of the torrent: and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
5 И сотвори Илиа по глаголу Господню, и седе при потоце Хорафове прямо лицу Иорданову:
So he went, and did according to the word of the Lord: and going, he dwelt by the torrent Carith, which is over against the Jordan.
6 и вранове приношаху ему хлебы и мяса заутра, и хлебы и мяса к вечеру, и от потока пияше воду.
And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening, and he drank of tile torrent.
7 И бысть по днех, и изсше источник, яко не бе дождя на землю,
But after some time the torrent was dried up, for it had not rained upon the earth.
8 и бысть глагол Господень ко Илии глаголя:
Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying:
9 востани и иди в Сарепту Сидонскую, и пребуди тамо: се бо, заповедах тамо жене вдовице препитати тя.
Arise, and go to Sarephta of the Sidonians, and dwell there: for I have commanded a widow woman there to feed thee.
10 И воста и иде в Сарепту Сидонскую, и прииде ко вратом града: и се, тамо жена вдова собираше дрова. И возопи Илиа вслед ея и рече ей: принеси ныне ми мало воды в сосуде, и испию.
He arose, and went to Sarephta. And when he was come to the gate of the city, he saw the widow woman gathering sticks, and he called her, and said to her: Give me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
11 И иде взяти. И возопи вслед ея Илиа и рече ей: приими убо мне и укрух хлеба в руце своей, да ям.
And when she was going to fetch it he called after her, saying: Bring me also, I beseech thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand.
12 И рече жена: жив Господь Бог твой, аще есть у мене опреснок, но токмо горсть муки в водоносе и мало елеа в чванце: и се, аз соберу два поленца, и вниду, и сотворю е себе и детем моим, и снемы е, и умрем.
And she answered: As the Lord thy God liveth, I have no bread, but only a handful of meal in a pot, and a little oil in a cruse: behold I am gathering two sticks that I may go in and dress it, for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
13 И рече к ней Илиа: дерзай, вниди и сотвори но глаголу твоему: но сотвори ми оттуду опреснок мал прежде, и принеси ми, себе же и чадом своим да сотвориши послежде,
And Elias said to her: Fear not, but go, and do as thou hast said: but first make for me of the same meal a little hearth cake, and bring it to me: and after make for thyself and thy son.
14 яко тако глаголет Господь Бог Израилев: водонос муки не оскудеет, и чванец елеа не умалится до дне, дондеже даст Господь дождь на землю.
For thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: The pot of meal shall not waste, nor the cruse of oil be diminished, until the day wherein the Lord will give rain upon the face of the earth.
15 И иде жена, и сотвори по глаголу Илиину, и даде ему, и яде той, и та, и чада ея.
She went and did according to the word of Elias: and he ate, and she, and her house: and from that day
16 И от того дне водонос муки не оскуде, и чванец елеа не умалися, по глаголу Господню, егоже глагола рукою Илииною.
The pot of meal wasted not, and the cruse of oil was not diminished, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke in the hand of Elias.
17 И бысть по сих, и разболеся сын жены госпожи дому, и бе болезнь его крепка зело, дондеже не остася в нем дух его.
And it came to pass after this that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick, and the sickness was very grievous, so that there was no breath left in him.
18 И рече ко Илии: что мне и тебе, человече Божий? Вшел еси ко мне воспомянути неправды моя и уморити сына моего.
And she said to Elias: What have I to do with thee, thou man of God? art thou come to me that my iniquities should be remembered, and that thou shouldst kill my son?
19 И рече Илиа к жене: даждь ми сына твоего. И взят его от недра ея, и вознесе его в горницу, идеже сам почиваше, и положи его на одре своем.
And Elias said to her: Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him into the upper chamber where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.
20 И возопи Илиа ко Господу и рече: увы мне, Господи, свидетелю вдовы, у неяже аз ныне пребываю, Ты озлобил еси еже уморити сына ея.
And he cried to the Lord, and said: O Lord my God, hast thou afflicted also the widow, with whom I am after a so maintained, so as to kill her son?
21 И дуну на отрочища трижды, и призва Господа и рече: Господи Боже мой, да возвратится убо душа отрочища сего в онь.
And he stretched, and measured himself upon the child three times, and cried to the Lord, and said: O Lord my God, let the soul of this child, I beseech thee, return into his body.
22 И бысть тако: и возопи отрочищь,
And the Lord heard the voice of Elias: and the soul of the child returned into him, and he revived.
23 и сведе его с горницы в дом, и даде его матери его. И рече Илиа: виждь, жив есть сын твой.
And Elias took the child, and brought him down from the upper chamber to the house below, and delivered him to his mother, and said to her: Behold thy son liveth.
24 И рече жена ко Илии: се, уразумех, яко человек Божий еси ты, и глагол Господень во устех твоих истинен.
And the woman said to Elias: Now, by this I know that thou art a man of God, and the word of the Lord in thy mouth is true.
