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 Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, says to Ahab, “YHWH, God of Israel, lives, before whom I have stood, there is not dew and rain these years, except according to my word.”
2 И бысть глагол Господень ко Илии:
And the word of YHWH is to him, saying,
3 иди отсюду на восток и скрыйся в потоце Хорафа прямо лицу Иорданову:
“Go from this [place]; and you have turned for yourself eastward, and been hidden by the Brook of Cherith that [is] on the front of the Jordan,
4 и будеши пити от потока воду, и враном заповедах препитати тя тамо.
and it has been [that] you drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to sustain you there.”
5 И сотвори Илиа по глаголу Господню, и седе при потоце Хорафове прямо лицу Иорданову:
And he goes and does according to the word of YHWH, indeed, he goes and dwells by the Brook of Cherith, that [is] on the front of 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 are bringing bread and flesh to him in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening, and he drinks from the brook.
7 И бысть по днех, и изсше источник, яко не бе дождя на землю,
And it comes to pass, at the end of [the] days, that the brook dries up, for there has been no rain in the land,
8 и бысть глагол Господень ко Илии глаголя:
and the word of YHWH is to him, saying,
9 востани и иди в Сарепту Сидонскую, и пребуди тамо: се бо, заповедах тамо жене вдовице препитати тя.
“Rise, go to Zarephath, that [belongs] to Sidon, and you have dwelt there; behold, I have commanded a widow woman to sustain you there.”
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 rises, and goes to Zarephath, and comes to the opening of the city, and behold, there [is] a widow woman gathering sticks, and he calls to her and says, “Please bring a little water to me in a vessel, and I 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 goes to bring [it], and he calls to her and says, “Please bring a morsel of bread to me 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 she says, “Your God YHWH lives, I do not have a cake, but the fullness of the hand of meal in a pitcher, and a little oil in a dish; and behold, I am gathering two sticks, and have gone in and prepared it for myself, and for my son, and we have eaten it—and died.”
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 Elijah says to her, “Do not fear, go, do according to your word, only make a little cake for me there, in the first place, and you have brought [it] out to me; and for you and for your son make [it] 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 said YHWH, God of Israel: The pitcher of meal is not consumed, and the dish of oil is not lacking, until the day of YHWH’s giving a shower on the face of the ground.”
15 И иде жена, и сотвори по глаголу Илиину, и даде ему, и яде той, и та, и чада ея.
And she goes, and does according to the word of Elijah, and she eats, she and he and her household [for many] days;
16 И от того дне водонос муки не оскуде, и чванец елеа не умалися, по глаголу Господню, егоже глагола рукою Илииною.
the pitcher of meal was not consumed, and the dish of oil did not lack, according to the word of YHWH that He spoke by the hand of Elijah.
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 comes to pass, after these things, the son of the woman, mistress of the house, has been sick, and his sickness is very severe until no breath has been 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 says to Elijah, “What [is this] to me and to you, O man of God? You have come to me to cause my iniquity to be remembered, and to put my son to death!”
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 he says to her, “Give your son to me”; and he takes him out of her bosom, and takes him up to the upper chamber where he is abiding, and lays him on 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 cries to YHWH and says, “My God YHWH, have You also brought calamity on the widow with whom I am sojourning, to put her son to death?”
21 И дуну на отрочища трижды, и призва Господа и рече: Господи Боже мой, да возвратится убо душа отрочища сего в онь.
And he stretches himself out on the boy three times, and calls to YHWH and says, “O YHWH my God, please let the soul of this boy return into his midst”;
22 И бысть тако: и возопи отрочищь,
and YHWH listens to the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the boy turns back into his midst, and he lives.
23 и сведе его с горницы в дом, и даде его матери его. И рече Илиа: виждь, жив есть сын твой.
And Elijah takes the boy, and brings him down from the upper chamber of the house, and gives him to his mother, and Elijah says, “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 says to Elijah, “Now [by] this I have known that you [are] a man of God, and the word of YHWH in your mouth [is] truth.”
