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 Eliu the prophet, the Thesbite of Thesbae of Galaad, said to Achaab, As the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be these years dew nor rain, except by the word of my mouth.
2 И бысть глагол Господень ко Илии:
And the word of the Lord came to Eliu, [saying],
3 иди отсюду на восток и скрыйся в потоце Хорафа прямо лицу Иорданову:
Depart hence eastward, and hide you by the brook of Chorrath, that is before Jordan.
4 и будеши пити от потока воду, и враном заповедах препитати тя тамо.
And it shall be [that] you shall drink water of the brook, and I will charge the ravens to feed you there.
5 И сотвори Илиа по глаголу Господню, и седе при потоце Хорафове прямо лицу Иорданову:
And Eliu did according to the word of the Lord, and he sat by the brook of Chorrath before 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 loaves in the morning, and flesh in the evening and he drank water of the brook.
7 И бысть по днех, и изсше источник, яко не бе дождя на землю,
And it came to pass after some time, that the brook was dried up, because there had been no rain upon the earth.
8 и бысть глагол Господень ко Илии глаголя:
And the word of the Lord came to Eliu, [saying],
9 востани и иди в Сарепту Сидонскую, и пребуди тамо: се бо, заповедах тамо жене вдовице препитати тя.
Arise, and go to Sarepta of the Sidonian [land]: behold, I have there commanded a widow-woman to maintain you.
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.
And he arose and went to Sarepta, and came to the gate of the city: and, behold, a widow-woman was there gathering sticks; and Eliu cried after her, and said to her, Fetch me, I pray you, 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 she went to fetch it; and Eliu cried after her, and said, Bring me, I pray you, a morsel of the bread that is in your 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 the woman said, [As] the Lord your God lives, I have not a cake, but only a handful of meal in the pitcher, and a little oil in a cruse, and, behold, I am going to gather two sticks, and I shall go in and dress it for myself and my children, and we shall 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 Eliu said to her, Be of good courage, go in and do according to your word: but make me thereof a little cake, and you shall bring [it] out to me first, and you shall make [some] for yourself and your children last.
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 says the Lord, The pitcher of meal shall not fail, and the cruse of oil shall not diminish, until the day that the Lord gives rain upon the earth.
15 И иде жена, и сотвори по глаголу Илиину, и даде ему, и яде той, и та, и чада ея.
And the woman went and did [so], and did eat, she, and he, and her children.
16 И от того дне водонос муки не оскуде, и чванец елеа не умалися, по глаголу Господню, егоже глагола рукою Илииною.
And the pitcher of meal failed not, and the cruse of oil was not diminished, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by the hand of Eliu.
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 afterward, that the son of the woman the mistress of the house was sick; and his sickness was very severe, until 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 Eliu, What have I to do with you, O man of God? have you come in to me to bring my sins to remembrance, and to 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 Eliu said to the woman, Give me your son. And he took him out of her bosom, and took him up to the chamber in which he himself lodged, and laid him on the 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 Eliu cried aloud, and said, Alas, O Lord, the witness of the widow with whom I sojourn, you have wrought evil [for her] in slaying 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 breathed on the child thrice, and called on the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, let, I pray you, the soul of this child return to him.
22 И бысть тако: и возопи отрочищь,
And it was so, and the child cried out,
23 и сведе его с горницы в дом, и даде его матери его. И рече Илиа: виждь, жив есть сын твой.
and he brought him down from the upper chamber into the house, and gave him to his mother; and Eliu said, See, your son lives.
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 Eliu, Behold, I know that you [are] a man of God, and the word of the Lord in your mouth [is] true.
