וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלִיָּהוּ הַתִּשְׁבִּי מִתֹּשָׁבֵי גִלְעָד אֶל־אַחְאָב חַי־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר עָמַדְתִּי לְפָנָיו אִם־יִהְיֶה הַשָּׁנִים הָאֵלֶּה טַל וּמָטָר כִּי אִם־לְפִי דְבָרִי
And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the settlers of Gilead, said unto Ahab: 'As HaShem, the G-d of Israel, liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.'
Καὶ εἶπεν Ἠλιοὺ ὁ προφήτης Θεσβίτης ὁ ἐκ Θεσβῶν τῆς Γαλαὰδ πρὸς Ἀχαὰβ, ζῇ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τῶν δυνάμεων ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, ᾧ παρέστην ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, εἰ ἔσται τὰ ἔτη ταῦτα δρόσος καὶ ὑετὸς, ὅτι εἰ μὴ διὰ στόματος λόγου μου.
And Elijah the prophet, the Tishbite of Tishbe of Gilead, said to Ahab, As the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be these years dew nor rain, except by the word of my mouth.
2
וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהוָה אֵלָיו לֵאמֹר
And the word of HaShem came unto him, saying:
Καὶ ἐγένετο ῥῆμα Κυρίου πρὸς Ἠλιοὺ,
And the word of the Lord came to Elijah, [saying],
3
לֵךְ מִזֶּה וּפָנִיתָ לְּךָ קֵדְמָה וְנִסְתַּרְתָּ בְּנַחַל כְּרִית אֲשֶׁר עַל־פְּנֵי הַיַּרְדֵּן
'Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.
πορεύου ἐντεῦθεν κατὰ ἀνατολὰς, καὶ κρύβηθι ἐν τῷ χειμάῤῥῳ Χοῤῥαθ τοῦ ἐπὶ προσώπου τοῦ Ἰορδάνου.
Depart hence eastward, and hide thee by the brook of Cherith, that is before Jordan.
4
וְהָיָה מֵהַנַּחַל תִּשְׁתֶּה וְאֶת־הָעֹרְבִים צִוִּיתִי לְכַלְכֶּלְךָ שָׁם
And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.'
Καὶ ἔσται ἐκ τοῦ χειμάῤῥου πίεσαι ὕδωρ, καὶ τοῖς κόραξιν ἐντελοῦμαι διατρέφειν σε ἐκεῖ.
And it shall be [that] thou shalt drink water of the brook, and I will charge the ravens to feed thee there.
5
וַיֵּלֶךְ וַיַּעַשׂ כִּדְבַר יְהוָה וַיֵּלֶךְ וַיֵּשֶׁב בְּנַחַל כְּרִית אֲשֶׁר עַל־פְּנֵי הַיַּרְדֵּן
So he went and did according unto the word of HaShem; for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.
Καὶ ἐποίησεν Ἠλιοὺ κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα Κυρίου, καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐν τῷ χειμάῤῥῳ Χοῤῥὰθ ἐπὶ προσώπου τοῦ Ἰορδάνου.
And Elijah did according to the word of the Lord, and he sat by the brook of Cherith before Jordan.
6
וְהָעֹרְבִים מְבִיאִים לוֹ לֶחֶם וּבָשָׂר בַּבֹּקֶר וְלֶחֶם וּבָשָׂר בָּעָרֶב וּמִן־הַנַּחַל יִשְׁתֶּה
And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.
Καὶ οἱ κόρακες ἔφερον αὐτῷ ἄρτους τοπρωῒ, καὶ κρέα τοδείλης, καὶ ἐκ τοῦ χειμάῤῥου ἔπινεν ὕδωρ.
And the ravens brought him loaves in the morning, and flesh in the evening, and he drank water of the brook.
7
וַיְהִי מִקֵּץ יָמִים וַיִּיבַשׁ הַנָּחַל כִּי לֹא־הָיָה גֶשֶׁם בָּאָרֶץ
And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
Καὶ ἐγένετο μεθʼ ἡμέρας, καὶ ἐξηράνθη ὁ χειμάῤῥους, ὅτι οὐκ ἐγένετο ὑετὸς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
And it came to pass after some time, that the brook was dried up, because there had been no rain upon the earth.
8
וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהוָה אֵלָיו לֵאמֹר
And the word of HaShem came unto him, saying:
Καὶ ἐγένετο ῥῆμα Κυρίου πρὸς Ἠλιοὺ,
And the word of the Lord came to Elijah, [saying],
9
קוּם לֵךְ צָרְפַתָה אֲשֶׁר לְצִידוֹן וְיָשַׁבְתָּ שָׁם הִנֵּה צִוִּיתִי שָׁם אִשָּׁה אַלְמָנָה לְכַלְכְּלֶךָ
'Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there; behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain thee.'
ἀνάστηθι, καὶ πορεύου εἰς Σαρεπτὰ τῆς Σιδωνίας· ἰδοὺ ἐντέταλμαι ἐκεῖ γυναικὶ χήρᾳ τοῦ διατρέφειν σε.
Arise, and go to Zarephath of the Sidonian [land]: behold, I have there commanded a widow woman to maintain thee.
10
וַיָּקָם וַיֵּלֶךְ צָרְפַתָה וַיָּבֹא אֶל־פֶּתַח הָעִיר וְהִנֵּה־שָׁם אִשָּׁה אַלְמָנָה מְקֹשֶׁשֶׁת עֵצִים וַיִּקְרָא אֵלֶיהָ וַיֹּאמַר קְחִי־נָא לִי מְעַט־מַיִם בַּכְּלִי וְאֶשְׁתֶּה
So he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks; and he called to her, and said: 'Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.'
Καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς Σαρεπτὰ, καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς τὸν πυλῶνα τῆς πόλεως· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖ γυνὴ χήρα συνέλεγε ξύλα· καὶ ἐβόησεν ὀπίσω αὐτῆς Ἠλιοὺ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ, λάβε δή μοι ὀλίγον ὕδωρ εἰς ἄγγος, καὶ πίομαι.
And he arose and went to Zarephath, and came to the gate of the city: and, behold, a widow woman was there gathering sticks; and Elijah cried after her, and said to her, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
11
וַתֵּלֶךְ לָקַחַת וַיִּקְרָא אֵלֶיהָ וַיֹּאמַר לִקְחִי־נָא לִי פַּת־לֶחֶם בְּיָדֵךְ
And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said: 'Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand.'
Καὶ ἐπορεύθη λαβεῖν, καὶ ἐβόησεν ὀπίσω αὐτῆς Ἠλιοὺ, καὶ εἶπε, λήψῃ δή μοι ψωμὸν ἄρτου τοῦ ἐν τῇ χειρί σου.
And she went to fetch it; and Elijah cried after her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of the bread that is in thy hand.
12
וַתֹּאמֶר חַי־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ אִם־יֶשׁ־לִי מָעוֹג כִּי אִם־מְלֹא כַף־קֶמַח בַּכַּד וּמְעַט־שֶׁמֶן בַּצַּפָּחַת וְהִנְנִי מְקֹשֶׁשֶׁת שְׁנַיִם עֵצִים וּבָאתִי וַעֲשִׂיתִיהוּ לִי וְלִבְנִי וַאֲכַלְנֻהוּ וָמָתְנוּ
And she said: 'As HaShem thy G-d liveth, I have not a cake, only a handful of meal in the jar, and a little oil in the cruse; and, 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.'
Καὶ εἶπεν ἡ γυνὴ, ζῇ Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου, εἰ ἔστι μοι ἐγκρυφίας, ἀλλʼ ἢ ὅσον δρὰξ ἀλεύρου ἐν τῇ ὑδρίᾳ, καὶ ὀλίγον ἔλαιον ἐν τῷ καψάκῃ· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ συλλέξω δύο ξυλάρια, καὶ εἰσελεύσομαι καὶ ποιήσω αὐτὸ ἐμαυτῇ καὶ τοῖς τέκνοις μου, καὶ φαγόμεθα, καὶ ἀποθανούμεθα.
And the woman said, [As] the Lord thy God lives, I have not a cake, but only a handful of meal in the pitcher, and a little oil in a cruse, and, behold, I am going to gather two sticks, and I shall go in and dress it for myself and my children, and we shall eat it and die.
13
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ אֵלִיָּהוּ אַל־תִּירְאִי בֹּאִי עֲשִׂי כִדְבָרֵךְ אַךְ עֲשִׂי־לִי מִשָּׁם עֻגָה קְטַנָּה בָרִאשֹׁנָה וְהוֹצֵאתְ לִי וְלָךְ וְלִבְנֵךְ תַּעֲשִׂי בָּאַחֲרֹנָה
And Elijah said unto her: 'Fear not; go and do as thou hast said; but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it forth unto me, and afterward make for thee and for thy son.
Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὴν Ἠλιοὺ, θάρσει, εἴσελθε καὶ ποίησον κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου· ἀλλὰ ποίησόν μοι ἐκεῖθεν ἐγκρυφίαν μικρὸν, καὶ ἐξοίσεις μοι ἐν πρώτοις, σαυτῇ δὲ καὶ τοῖς τέκνοις σου ποιήσεις ἐπʼ ἐσχάτῳ·
And Elijah said to her, Be of good courage, go in and do according to thy word: but make me thereof a little cake, and thou shalt bring [it] out to me first, and thou shalt make [some] for thyself and thy children last.
14
כִּי כֹה אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל כַּד הַקֶּמַח לֹא תִכְלָה וְצַפַּחַת הַשֶּׁמֶן לֹא תֶחְסָר עַד יוֹם תתן־תֵּת־יְהוָה גֶּשֶׁם עַל־פְּנֵי הָאֲדָמָה
For thus saith HaShem, the G-d of Israel: The jar of meal shall not be spent, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that HaShem sendeth rain upon the land.'
Ὅτι τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἡ ὑδρία τοῦ ἀλεύρου οὐκ ἐκλείψει, καὶ ὁ καψάκης τοῦ ἐλαίου οὐκ ἐλαττονήσει, ἕως ἡμέρας τοῦ δοῦναι Κύριον τὸν ὑετὸν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
For thus saith the Lord, The pitcher of meal shall not fail, and the cruse of oil shall not diminish, until the day that the Lord gives rain upon the earth.
15
וַתֵּלֶךְ וַתַּעֲשֶׂה כִּדְבַר אֵלִיָּהוּ וַתֹּאכַל הוא־והיא הִיא־וָהוּא וּבֵיתָהּ יָמִים
And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah; and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.
Καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἡ γυνὴ, καὶ ἐποίησε, καὶ ἤσθιεν αὐτὴ καὶ αὐτὸς καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῆς.
And the woman went and did [so], and did eat, she, and he, and her children.
16
כַּד הַקֶּמַח לֹא כָלָתָה וְצַפַּחַת הַשֶּׁמֶן לֹא חָסֵר כִּדְבַר יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר בְּיַד אֵלִיָּהוּ
The jar of meal was not spent, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of HaShem, which He spoke by Elijah.
Καὶ ἡ ὑδρία τοῦ ἀλεύρου οὐκ ἐξέλιπε, καὶ ὁ καψάκης τοῦ ἐλαίου οὐκ ἠλαττονήθη, κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα Κυρίου ὃ ἐλάλησεν ἐν χειρὶ Ἠλιού.
And the pitcher of meal failed not, and the cruse of oil was not diminished, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by the hand of Elijah.
17
וַיְהִי אַחַר הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה חָלָה בֶּן־הָאִשָּׁה בַּעֲלַת הַבָּיִת וַיְהִי חָלְיוֹ חָזָק מְאֹד עַד אֲשֶׁר לֹא־נוֹתְרָה־בּוֹ נְשָׁמָה
And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him.
Καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα, καὶ ἠῤῥώστησεν ὁ υἱὸς τῆς γυναικὸς τῆς κυρίας τοῦ οἴκου· καὶ ἦν ἡ ἀῤῥωστία αὐτοῦ κραταιὰ σφόδρα ἕως οὐχ ὑπελείφθη ἐν αὐτῷ πνεῦμα.
And it came to pass afterward, that the son of the woman the mistress of the house was sick; and his sickness was very severe, until there was no breath left in him.
18
וַתֹּאמֶר אֶל־אֵלִיָּהוּ מַה־לִּי וָלָךְ אִישׁ הָאֱלֹהִים בָּאתָ אֵלַי לְהַזְכִּיר אֶת־עֲוֺנִי וּלְהָמִית אֶת־בְּנִי
And she said unto Elijah: 'What have I to do with thee, O thou man of G-d? art thou come unto me to bring my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?'
Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς Ἠλιοὺ, τί ἐμοὶ καὶ σοὶ ἄνθρωπε τοῦ Θεοῦ; εἰσῆλθες πρὸς μὲ τοῦ ἀναμνῆσαι ἀδικίας μου, καὶ θανατῶσαι τὸν υἱόν μου;
And she said to Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O man of God? hast thou come in to me to bring my sins to remembrance, and to slay my son?
19
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ תְּנִי־לִי אֶת־בְּנֵךְ וַיִּקָּחֵהוּ מֵחֵיקָהּ וַיַּעֲלֵהוּ אֶל־הָעֲלִיָּה אֲשֶׁר־הוּא יֹשֵׁב שָׁם וַיַּשְׁכִּבֵהוּ עַל־מִטָּתוֹ
And he said unto her: 'Give me thy son.' And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the upper chamber, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.
Καὶ εἶπεν Ἠλιοὺ πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα, δός μοι τὸν υἱόν σου· καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτὸν ἐκ τοῦ κόλπου αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ ὑπερῷον ἐν ᾧ αὐτὸς ἐκάθητο ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἐκοίμισεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τῆς κλίνης.
And Elijah said to the woman, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and took him up to the chamber in which he himself lodged, and laid him on the bed.
20
וַיִּקְרָא אֶל־יְהוָה וַיֹּאמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהָי הֲגַם עַל־הָאַלְמָנָה אֲשֶׁר־אֲנִי מִתְגּוֹרֵר עִמָּהּ הֲרֵעוֹתָ לְהָמִית אֶת־בְּנָהּ
And he cried unto HaShem, and said: 'O HaShem my G-d, hast Thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?'
Καὶ ἀνεβόησεν Ἠλιοὺ, καὶ εἶπεν, οἵ μοι Κύριε, ὁ μάρτυς τῆς χήρας μεθʼ ἧς ἐγὼ κατοικῶ μετʼ αὐτῆς, σὺ κεκάκωκας τοῦ θανατῶσαι τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς.
And Elijah cried aloud, and said, Alas, O Lord, the witness of the widow with whom I sojourn, thou hast wrought evil [for her] in slaying her son.
21
וַיִּתְמֹדֵד עַל־הַיֶּלֶד שָׁלֹשׁ פְּעָמִים וַיִּקְרָא אֶל־יְהוָה וַיֹּאמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהָי תָּשָׁב נָא נֶפֶשׁ־הַיֶּלֶד הַזֶּה עַל־קִרְבּוֹ
And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto HaShem, and said: 'O HaShem my G-d, I pray thee, let this child's soul come back into him.'
Καὶ ἐνεφύσησε τῷ παιδαρίῳ τρὶς, καὶ ἐπεκαλέσατο τὸν Κύριον, καὶ εἶπε, Κύριε ὁ Θεός μου, ἐπιστραφήτω δὴ ἡ ψυχὴ τοῦ παιδαρίου τούτου εἰς αὐτόν.
And he breathed on the child thrice, and called on the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, let, I pray thee, the soul of this child return to him.
Καὶ ἐγένετο οὕτως· καὶ ἀνεβόησε τὸ παιδάριον.
And it was so, and the child cried out,
22
וַיִּשְׁמַע יְהוָה בְּקוֹל אֵלִיָּהוּ וַתָּשָׁב נֶפֶשׁ־הַיֶּלֶד עַל־קִרְבּוֹ וַיֶּחִי
And HaShem hearkened unto the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came back into him, and he revived.
23
וַיִּקַּח אֵלִיָּהוּ אֶת־הַיֶּלֶד וַיֹּרִדֵהוּ מִן־הָעֲלִיָּה הַבַּיְתָה וַיִּתְּנֵהוּ לְאִמּוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלִיָּהוּ רְאִי חַי בְּנֵךְ
And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the upper chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother; and Elijah said: 'See, thy son liveth.'
Καὶ κατήγαγεν αυτὸ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὑπερῴου εἰς τὸν οἶκον, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὸ τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἶπεν Ἠλιοὺ, βλέπε, ζῇ ὁ υἱός σου.
and he brought him down from the upper chamber into the house, and gave him to his mother; and Elijah said, See, thy son lives.
24
וַתֹּאמֶר הָאִשָּׁה אֶל־אֵלִיָּהוּ עַתָּה זֶה יָדַעְתִּי כִּי אִישׁ אֱלֹהִים אָתָּה וּדְבַר־יְהוָה בְּפִיךָ אֱמֶת
And the woman said to Elijah: 'Now I know that thou art a man of G-d, and that the word of HaShem in thy mouth is truth.'
Καὶ εἶπεν ἡ γυνὴ πρὸς Ἠλιοὺ, ἰδοὺ ἔγνωκα ὅτι σὺ ἄνθρωπος Θεοῦ, καὶ ῥῆμα Κυρίου ἐν τῷ στόματί σου ἀληθινόν.
And the woman said to Elijah, Behold, I know that thou [art] a man of God, and the word of the Lord in thy mouth [is] true.
