1 Kings 17

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab: "As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, during these years there shall be no dew or rain except at my word."	1 Et dixit Elias Thesbites de Thesbi in Galaad ad Achab: “ Vivit Dominus, Deus Israel, in cuius conspectu sto. Non erit annis his ros et pluvia, nisi iuxta oris mei verba! ”.
2 The LORD then said to Elijah:	2 Et factum est verbum Domini ad eum dicens:
3 "Leave here, go east and hide in the Wadi Cherith, east of the Jordan.	3 “ Recede hinc et vade contra orientem et abscondere in torrente Charith, qui est contra Iordanem,
4 You shall drink of the stream, and I have commanded ravens to feed you there."	4 et ibi de torrente bibes; corvisque praecepi, ut pascant te ibi ”.
5 So he left and did as the LORD had commanded. He went and remained by the Wadi Cherith, east of the Jordan.	5 Abiit ergo et fecit iuxta verbum Domini; cumque abisset, sedit in torrente Charith, qui est contra Iordanem.
6 Ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the stream.	6 Corvi quoque deferebant ei panem et carnes mane, similiter panem et carnes vesperi; et bibebat de torrente.
7 After some time, however, the brook ran dry, because no rain had fallen in the land.	7 Post dies autem siccatus est torrens; non enim pluerat super terram.
8 So the LORD said to him:	8 Factus est igitur sermo Domini ad eum dicens:
9 "Move on to Zarephath of Sidon and stay there. I have designated a widow there to provide for you."	9 “ Surge et vade in Sarepta Sidoniorum et manebis ibi; praecepi enim ibi mulieri viduae, ut pascat te ”.
10 He left and went to Zarephath. As he arrived at the entrance of the city, a widow was gathering sticks there; he called out to her, "Please bring me a small cupful of water to drink."	10 Surrexit et abiit Sareptam. Cumque venisset ad portam civitatis, apparuit ei mulier vidua colligens ligna; et vocavit eam dixitque: “ Da mihi paululum aquae in vase, ut bibam ”.
11 She left to get it, and he called out after her, "Please bring along a bit of bread."	11 Cumque illa pergeret, ut afferret, clamavit post tergum eius dicens: “ Affer mihi, obsecro, et buccellam panis in manu tua ”.
12 "As the LORD, your God, lives," she answered, "I have nothing baked; there is only a handful of flour in my jar and a little oil in my jug. Just now I was collecting a couple of sticks, to go in and prepare something for myself and my son; when we have eaten it, we shall die."	12 Quae respondit: “ Vivit Dominus Deus tuus, non habeo panem, nisi quantum pugillus capere potest farinae in hydria et paululum olei in lecytho. En colligo duo ligna, ut ingrediar et faciam illud mihi et filio meo, ut comedamus et moriamur ”.
13 "Do not be afraid," Elijah said to her. "Go and do as you propose. But first make me a little cake and bring it to me. Then you can prepare something for yourself and your son.	13 Ad quam Elias ait: “ Noli timere, sed vade et fac, sicut dixisti; verumtamen mihi primum fac de ipsa farinula subcinericium panem parvulum et affer ad me; tibi autem et filio tuo facies postea.
14 For the LORD, the God of Israel, says, 'The jar of flour shall not go empty, nor the jug of oil run dry, until the day when the LORD sends rain upon the earth.'"	14 Haec autem dicit Dominus, Deus Israel: “Hydria farinae non deficiet, nec lecythus olei minuetur usque ad diem, in qua daturus est Dominus pluviam super faciem terrae” ”.
15 She left and did as Elijah had said. She was able to eat for a year, and he and her son as well;	15 Quae abiit et fecit iuxta verbum Eliae et comedit illa et ipse et domus eius per dies.
16 The jar of flour did not go empty, nor the jug of oil run dry, as the LORD had foretold through Elijah.	16 Hydria farinae non defecit, et lecythus olei non est imminutus iuxta verbum Domini, quod locutus fuerat in manu Eliae.
17 Some time later the son of the mistress of the house fell sick, and his sickness grew more severe until he stopped breathing.	17 Factum est autem post haec, aegrotavit filius mulieris matris familiae; et erat languor fortis nimis, ita ut non remaneret in eo halitus.
18 So she said to Elijah, "Why have you done this to me, O man of God? Have you come to me to call attention to my guilt and to kill my son?"	18 Dixit ergo ad Eliam: “ Quid mihi et tibi, vir Dei? Ingressus es ad me, ut rememorarentur iniquitates meae, et interficeres filium meum? ”.
19 "Give me your son," Elijah said to her. Taking him from her lap, he carried him to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on his own bed.	19 Et ait ad eam: “ Da mihi filium tuum ”. Tulitque eum de sinu illius et portavit in cenaculum, ubi ipse manebat, et posuit super lectulum suum;
20 He called out to the LORD: "O LORD, my God, will you afflict even the widow with whom I am staying by killing her son?"	20 clamavitque ad Dominum et dixit: “ Domine Deus meus, etiamne viduam, apud quam ego ut hospes habito, afflixisti, ut interficeres filium eius? ”.
21 Then he stretched himself out upon the child three times and called out to the LORD: "O LORD, my God, let the life breath return to the body of this child."	21 Et expandit se atque mensus est super puerum tribus vicibus et clamavit ad Dominum et ait: “ Domine Deus meus, revertatur, oro, anima pueri huius in viscera eius ”.
22 The LORD heard the prayer of Elijah; the life breath returned to the child's body and he revived.	22 Et exaudivit Dominus vocem Eliae, et reversa est anima pueri intra eum, et revixit.
23 Taking the child, Elijah brought him down into the house from the upper room and gave him to his mother. "See!" Elijah said to her, "your son is alive."	23 Tulitque Elias puerum et deposuit eum de cenaculo in inferiorem domum et tradidit matri suae et ait illi: “ En vivit filius tuus ”.
24 "Now indeed I know that you you are a man of God," the woman replied to Elijah. "The word of the LORD comes truly from your mouth."	24 Dixitque mulier ad Eliam: “ Nunc in isto cognovi quoniam vir Dei es tu, et verbum Domini in ore tuo verum est ”.
