New International Version NIV
The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word.”
1
et dixit Helias Thesbites de habitatoribus Galaad ad Ahab vivit Dominus Deus Israhel in cuius conspectu sto si erit annis his ros et pluvia nisi iuxta oris mei verba
2 Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah:
2
et factum est verbum Domini ad eum dicens
3 “Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan.
3
recede hinc et vade contra orientem et abscondere in torrente Charith qui est contra Iordanem
4 You will drink from the brook, and I have directed the ravens to supply you with food there.”
4
et ibi de torrente bibes corvisque praecepi ut pascant te ibi
5 So he did what the LORD had told him. He went to the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan, and stayed there.
5
abiit ergo et fecit iuxta verbum Domini cumque abisset sedit in torrente Charith qui est contra Iordanem
6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.
6
corvi quoque deferebant panem et carnes mane similiter panem et carnes vesperi et bibebat de torrente
7 Some time later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land.
7
post dies autem siccatus est torrens non enim pluerat super terram
8 Then the word of the LORD came to him:
8
factus est igitur sermo Domini ad eum dicens
9 “Go at once to Zarephath in the region of Sidon and stay there. I have directed a widow there to supply you with food.”
9
surge et vade in Sareptha Sidoniorum et manebis ibi praecepi enim ibi mulieri viduae ut pascat te
10 So he went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, “Would you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a drink?”
10
surrexit et abiit Sareptham cumque venisset ad portam civitatis apparuit ei mulier vidua colligens ligna et vocavit eam dixitque da mihi paululum aquae in vase ut bibam
11 As she was going to get it, he called, “And bring me, please, a piece of bread.”
11
cumque illa pergeret ut adferret clamavit post tergum eius dicens adfer mihi obsecro et buccellam panis in manu tua
12 “As surely as the LORD your God lives,” she replied, “I don’t have any bread—only a handful of flour in a jar and a little olive oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it—and die.”
12
quae respondit vivit Dominus Deus tuus quia 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 Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small loaf of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son.
13
ad quam Helias ait noli timere sed vade et fac sicut dixisti verumtamen mihi primum fac de ipsa farinula subcinericium panem parvulum et adfer ad me tibi autem et filio tuo facies postea
14 For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the LORD sends rain on the land.’ ”
14
haec autem dicit Dominus Deus Israhel hydria farinae non deficiet nec lecythus olei minuetur usque ad diem in qua daturus est Dominus pluviam super faciem terrae
15 She went away and did as Elijah had told her. So there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family.
15
quae abiit et fecit iuxta verbum Heliae et comedit ipse et illa et domus eius et ex illa die
16 For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the LORD spoken by Elijah.
16
hydria farinae non defecit et lecythus olei non est inminutus iuxta verbum Domini quod locutus fuerat in manu Heliae
17 Some time later the son of the woman who owned the house became ill. He grew worse and worse, and finally stopped breathing.
17
factum est autem post verba haec aegrotavit filius mulieris matris familiae et erat languor fortis nimis ita ut non remaneret in eo halitus
18 She said to Elijah, “What do you have against me, man of God? Did you come to remind me of my sin and kill my son?”
18
dixit ergo ad Heliam quid mihi et tibi vir Dei ingressus es ad me ut rememorarentur iniquitates meae et interficeres filium meum
19 “Give me your son,” Elijah replied. He took him from her arms, carried him to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on his 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 Then he cried out to the LORD, “LORD my God, have you brought tragedy even on this widow I am staying with, by causing her son to die?”
20
et clamavit ad Dominum et dixit Domine Deus meus etiamne viduam apud quam ego utcumque sustentor adflixisti ut interficeres filium eius
21 Then he stretched himself out on the boy three times and cried out to the LORD, “LORD my God, let this boy’s life return to him!”
21
et expandit se atque mensus est super puerum tribus vicibus clamavitque ad Dominum et ait Domine Deus meus revertatur oro anima pueri huius in viscera eius
22 The LORD heard Elijah’s cry, and the boy’s life returned to him, and he lived.
22
exaudivit Dominus vocem Heliae et reversa est anima pueri intra eum et revixit
23 Elijah picked up the child and carried him down from the room into the house. He gave him to his mother and said, “Look, your son is alive!”
23
tulitque Helias puerum et deposuit eum de cenaculo in inferiorem domum et tradidit matri suae et ait illi en vivit filius tuus
24 Then the woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of the LORD from your mouth is the truth.”
24
dixitque mulier ad Heliam nunc in isto cognovi quoniam vir Dei es tu et verbum Domini in ore tuo verum est
