Regum I 17

VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Et dixit Elias Thesbites de habitatoribus Galaad ad Achab : Vivit Dominus Deus Israël, in cujus conspectu sto, si erit annis his ros et pluvia, nisi juxta oris mei verba.	1 Elijah the Tishbite, of Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, 'By the life of Yahweh, God of Israel, whom Iserve, there will be neither dew nor rain these coming years unless I give the word.'
2 Et factum est verbum Domini ad eum, dicens :	2 The word of Yahweh came to him,
3 Recede hinc, et vade contra orientem, et abscondere in torrente Carith, qui est contra Jordanem,	3 'Go away from here, go east and hide by the torrent of Cherith, east of the Jordan.
4 et ibi de torrente bibes : corvisque præcepi ut pascant te ibi.	4 You can drink from the stream, and I have ordered the ravens to bring you food there.'
5 Abiit ergo, et fecit juxta verbum Domini : cumque abiisset, sedit in torrente Carith, qui est contra Jordanem.	5 So he set out and did as Yahweh had said; he went and stayed by the torrent of Cherith, east of theJordan.
6 Corvi quoque deferebant ei panem et carnes mane, similiter panem et carnes vesperi, et bibebat de torrente.	6 The ravens brought him bread in the morning and meat in the evening, and he quenched his thirst atthe stream.
7 Post dies autem siccatus est torrens : non enim pluerat super terram.	7 But after a while the stream dried up, for the country had had no rain.
8 Factus est ergo sermo Domini ad eum, dicens :	8 And then the word of Yahweh came to him,
9 Surge, et vade in Sarephta Sidoniorum, et manebis ibi : præcepi enim ibi mulieri viduæ ut pascat te.	9 'Up and go to Zarephath in Sidonia, and stay there. I have ordered a widow there to give you food.'
10 Surrexit, et abiit in Sarephta. Cumque venisset ad portam civitatis, apparuit ei mulier vidua colligens ligna, et vocavit eam, dixitque ei : Da mihi paululum aquæ in vase ut bibam.	10 So he went off to Sidon. And when he reached the city gate, there was a widow gathering sticks.Addressing her he said, 'Please bring a little water in a pitcher for me to drink.'
11 Cumque illa pergeret ut afferret, clamavit post tergum ejus, dicens : Affer mihi, obsecro, et buccellam panis in manu tua.	11 She was on her way to fetch it when he cal ed after her. 'Please', he said, 'bring me a scrap of breadin your hand.'
12 Quæ respondit : Vivit Dominus Deus tuus, quia non habeo panem, nisi quantum pugillus capere potest farinæ in hydria, et paululum olei in lecytho : en colligo duo ligna ut ingrediar et faciam illum mihi et filio meo, ut comedamus, et moriamur.	12 'As Yahweh your God lives,' she replied, 'I have no baked bread, but only a handful of meal in a jarand a little oil in a jug; I am just gathering a stick or two to go and prepare this for myself and my son to eat, andthen we shall die.'
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.	13 But Elijah said to her, 'Do not be afraid, go and do as you have said; but first make a little scone of itfor me and bring it to me, and then make some for yourself and for your son.
14 Hæc autem dicit Dominus Deus Israël : Hydria farinæ non deficiet, nec lecythus olei minuetur, usque ad diem in qua Dominus daturus est pluviam super faciem terræ.	14 For Yahweh, God of Israel, says this: Jar of meal shal not be spent, jug of oil shall not be emptied,before the day when Yahweh sends rain on the face of the earth.'
15 Quæ abiit, et fecit juxta verbum Eliæ : et comedit ipse, et illa, et domus ejus : et ex illa die	15 The woman went and did as Elijah told her and they ate the food, she, himself and her son.
16 hydria farinæ non defecit, et lecythus olei non est imminutus, juxta verbum Domini quod locutus fuerat in manu Eliæ.	16 The jar of meal was not spent nor the jug of oil emptied, just as Yahweh had foretold through Elijah.
17 Factum est autem post hæc, ægrotavit filius mulieris matrisfamilias, et erat languor fortissimus, ita ut non remaneret in eo halitus.	17 It happened after this that the son of the mistress of the house fel sick; his il ness was so severe thatin the end he expired.
18 Dixit ergo ad Eliam : Quid mihi et tibi, vir Dei ? ingressus es ad me, ut rememorarentur iniquitates meæ, et interficeres filium meum ?	18 And the woman said to Elijah, 'What quarrel have you with me, man of God? Have you come here tobring my sins home to me and to kill my son?'
19 Et ait ad eam Elias : Da mihi filium tuum. Tulitque eum de sinu ejus, et portavit in cœnaculum ubi ipse manebat, et posuit super lectulum suum.	19 'Give me your son,' he said and, taking him from her lap, he carried him to the upper room where hewas staying and laid him on his bed.
20 Et clamavit ad Dominum, et dixit : Domine Deus meus, etiam ne viduam apud quam ego utcumque sustentor, afflixisti ut interficeres filium ejus ?	20 He cried out to Yahweh, 'Yahweh my God, by kil ing her son do you mean to bring grief even to thewidow who is looking after me?'
21 Et expandit se, atque mensus est super puerum tribus vicibus, et clamavit ad Dominum, et ait : Domine Deus meus, revertatur, obsecro, anima pueri hujus in viscera ejus.	21 He stretched himself on the child three times and cried out to Yahweh, 'Yahweh my God, may thesoul of this child, I beg you, come into him again!'
22 Et exaudivit Dominus vocem Eliæ : et reversa est anima pueri intra eum, et revixit.	22 Yahweh heard Elijah's prayer and the child's soul came back into his body and he revived.
23 Tulitque Elias puerum, et deposuit eum de cœnaculo in inferiorem domum, et tradidit matri suæ, et ait illi : En vivit filius tuus.	23 Elijah took the child, brought him down from the upper room into the house, and gave him to hismother. 'Look,' Elijah said, 'your son is alive.'
24 Dixitque mulier ad Eliam : Nunc in isto cognovi quoniam vir Dei es tu, et verbum Domini in ore tuo verum est.	24 And the woman replied, 'Now I know you are a man of God and the word of Yahweh in your mouth istruth itself.'
