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.
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 И бысть глагол Господень ко Илии:
The word of Yahweh came to Elijah, saying,
3 иди отсюду на восток и скрыйся в потоце Хорафа прямо лицу Иорданову:
“Leave from here and go eastward; hide yourself by the brook Kerith, east of the Jordan.
4 и будеши пити от потока воду, и враном заповедах препитати тя тамо.
It will happen that you will drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
5 И сотвори Илиа по глаголу Господню, и седе при потоце Хорафове прямо лицу Иорданову:
So Elijah went and did as the word of Yahweh commanded. He went to live by the brook Kerith, east of the Jordan.
6 и вранове приношаху ему хлебы и мяса заутра, и хлебы и мяса к вечеру, и от потока пияше воду.
The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.
7 И бысть по днех, и изсше источник, яко не бе дождя на землю,
But after a while the brook dried up because there was no rain in the land.
8 и бысть глагол Господень ко Илии глаголя:
The word of Yahweh came to him, saying,
9 востани и иди в Сарепту Сидонскую, и пребуди тамо: се бо, заповедах тамо жене вдовице препитати тя.
“Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and live there. Look, I have commanded a widow there to provide for 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.
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 И иде взяти. И возопи вслед ея Илиа и рече ей: приими убо мне и укрух хлеба в руце своей, да ям.
As she was going to get water he called to her, and said, “Please bring me a piece of bread 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.
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 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,
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 яко тако глаголет Господь Бог Израилев: водонос муки не оскудеет, и чванец елеа не умалится до дне, дондеже даст Господь дождь на землю.
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 И иде жена, и сотвори по глаголу Илиину, и даде ему, и яде той, и та, и чада ея.
So she did as Elijah had told her. She and Elijah, along with her household, ate 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 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 И бысть по сих, и разболеся сын жены госпожи дому, и бе болезнь его крепка зело, дондеже не остася в нем дух его.
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 И рече ко Илии: что мне и тебе, человече Божий? Вшел еси ко мне воспомянути неправды моя и уморити сына моего.
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 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.
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 И возопи Илиа ко Господу и рече: увы мне, Господи, свидетелю вдовы, у неяже аз ныне пребываю, Ты озлобил еси еже уморити сына ея.
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 И дуну на отрочища трижды, и призва Господа и рече: Господи Боже мой, да возвратится убо душа отрочища сего в онь.
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 И бысть тако: и возопи отрочищь,
Yahweh listened to the voice of Elijah; the life of the child returned to 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.
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 И рече жена ко Илии: се, уразумех, яко человек Божий еси ты, и глагол Господень во устех твоих истинен.
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.”
