1 Kings 17

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 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.	1 وقال ايليا التشبي من مستوطني جلعاد لاخآب حيّ هو الرب اله اسرائيل الذي وقفت امامه انه لا يكون طل ولا مطر في هذه السنين الا عند قولي
2 And the word of the Lord came to him, saying:	2 وكان كلام الرب له قائلا
3 Get thee hence, and go towards the east and hide thyself by the torrent of Carith, which is over against the Jordan,	3 انطلق من هنا واتجه نحو المشرق واختبئ عند نهر كريث الذي هو مقابل الاردن
4 And there thou shalt drink of the torrent: and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.	4 فتشرب من النهر وقد أمرت الغربان ان تعولك هناك.
5 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.	5 فانطلق وعمل حسب كلام الرب وذهب فاقام عند نهر كريث الذي هو مقابل الاردن.
6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening, and he drank of tile torrent.	6 وكانت الغربان تاتي اليه بخبز ولحم صباحا وبخبز ولحم مساء وكان يشرب من النهر.
7 But after some time the torrent was dried up, for it had not rained upon the earth.	7 وكان بعد مدة من الزمان ان النهر يبس لانه لم يكن مطر في الارض
8 Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying:	8 وكان له كلام الرب قائلا
9 Arise, and go to Sarephta of the Sidonians, and dwell there: for I have commanded a widow woman there to feed thee.	9 قم اذهب الى صرفة التي لصيدون واقم هناك. هوذا قد امرت هناك امرأة ارملة ان تعولك.
10 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.	10 فقام وذهب الى صرفة. وجاء الى باب المدينة واذا بامرأة ارملة هناك تقش عيدانا فناداها وقال هاتي لي قليل ماء في اناء فاشرب.
11 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.	11 وفيما هي ذاهبة لتأتي به ناداها وقال هاتي لي كسرة خبز في يدك.
12 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.	12 فقالت حيّ هو الرب الهك انه ليست عندي كعكة ولكن ملء كف من الدقيق في الكوار وقليل من الزيت في الكوز وهانذا اقش عودين لآتي واعمله لي ولابني لناكله ثم نموت.
13 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.	13 فقال لها ايليا لا تخافي ادخلي واعملي كقولك ولكن اعملي لي منها كعكة صغيرة اولا واخرجي بها اليّ ثم اعملي لك ولابنك اخيرا.
14 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.	14 لانه هكذا قال الرب اله اسرائيل ان كوار الدقيق لا يفرغ وكوز الزيت لا ينقص الى اليوم الذي فيه يعطي الرب مطرا على وجه الارض.
15 She went and did according to the word of Elias: and he ate, and she, and her house: and from that day	15 فذهبت وفعلت حسب قول ايليا واكلت هي وهو وبيتها اياما.
16 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.	16 كوار الدقيق لم يفرغ وكوز الزيت لم ينقص حسب قول الرب الذي تكلم به عن يد ايليا
17 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.	17 وبعد هذه الأمور مرض ابن المرأة صاحبة البيت واشتدّ مرضه جدا حتى لم تبق فيه نسمة.
18 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?	18 فقالت لايليا ما لي ولك يا رجل الله. هل جئت اليّ لتذكير اثمي واماتة ابني.
19 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.	19 فقال لها اعطيني ابنك. واخذه من حضنها وصعد به الى العلية التي كان مقيما بها واضجعه على سريره
20 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?	20 وصرخ الى الرب وقال ايها الرب الهي أايضا الى الارملة التي انا نازل عندها قد اسأت باماتتك ابنها.
21 And he stretched, and measured himself upon the child three times, and cried to the Lord, and said: 0 Lord my God, let the soul of this child, I beseech thee, return into his body.	21 فتمدد على الولد ثلاث مرات وصرخ الى الرب وقال يا رب الهي لترجع نفس هذا الولد الى جوفه.
22 And the Lord heard the voice of Elias: and the soul of the child returned into him, and he revived.	22 فسمع الرب لصوت ايليا فرجعت نفس الولد الى جوفه فعاش.
23 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.	23 فاخذ ايليا الولد ونزل به من العلية الى البيت ودفعه لامه. وقال ايليا انظري. ابنك حيّ.
24 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.	24 فقالت المرأة لايليا هذا الوقت علمت انك رجل الله وان كلام الرب في فمك حق
