列王纪上 17
1 基列寄居的提斯比人以利亚对亚哈说：“我指着所事奉永生耶和华—以色列的 神起誓，这几年我若不祷告，必不降露，不下雨。”
Then said Elijah the Tishbite, of Tishbe in Gilead, unto Ahab, By the life of Yahweh, God of Israel, before whom I stand, there shall not, these two years, be either dew or rain, —save at the bidding of my word.
2 耶和华的话临到以利亚说：
Then came the word of Yahweh unto him, saying:
3 “你离开这里往东去，藏在约旦河东边的基立溪旁。
Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, —and hide thyself in the ravine of Cherith, which faceth the Jordan;
4 你要喝那溪里的水，我已吩咐乌鸦在那里供养你。”
and it shall be that, of the torrent, shalt thou drink, —and, the ravens, have I commanded to sustain thee, there.
5 于是以利亚照着耶和华的话，去住在约旦河东的基立溪旁。
So he went and did, according to the word of Yahweh, —yea he went and dwelt in the ravine of Cherith, which faceth the Jordan.
6 乌鸦早晚给他叼饼和肉来，他也喝那溪里的水。
And, the ravens, used to bring him bread and flesh, in the morning, and bread and flesh, in the evening, —and, of the torrent, used he to drink.
7 过了些日子，溪水就干了，因为雨没有下在地上。
But it came to pass, at the end of [certain] days, that the torrent dried up, —because there had been no rain in the land.
8 耶和华的话临到他说：
Then came the word of Yahweh unto him, saying—
9 “你起身往西顿的撒勒法去，住在那里；我已吩咐那里的一个寡妇供养你。”
Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there, —Lo! I have commanded, there, a widow woman, to sustain thee.
10 以利亚就起身往撒勒法去。到了城门，见有一个寡妇在那里捡柴，以利亚呼叫她说：“求你用器皿取点水来给我喝。”
So he arose and went to Zarephath, and, when he came to the entrance of the city, lo! there, a widow woman gathering sticks, —and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
11 她去取水的时候，以利亚又呼叫她说：“也求你拿点饼来给我！”
And, as she went to fetch it, he called to her and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread, in thy hand.
12 她说：“我指着永生耶和华—你的 神起誓，我没有饼，坛内只有一把面，瓶里只有一点油；我现在找两根柴，回家要为我和我儿子做饼；我们吃了，死就死吧！”
And she said—By the life of Yahweh, thy God, verily I have not a cake, only a handful of meal in the jar, and a little oil in the cruse, —and lo! I have been gathering a couple of sticks, so I shall go in and make it ready for me and for my son, that we may eat it—and die!
13 以利亚对她说：“不要惧怕！可以照你所说的去做吧！只要先为我做一个小饼拿来给我，然后为你和你的儿子做饼。
And Elijah said unto her—Do not fear, go in—make ready according to thy word, —howbeit, make me thereof a little cake, first, and bring it out to me, and, for thyself and thy son, make ready, afterwards.
14 因为耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：坛内的面必不减少，瓶里的油必不缺短，直到耶和华使雨降在地上的日子。”
For, thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, The jar of meal, shall not waste, and, the cruse of oil, shall not fail, —until the day that Yahweh giveth rain upon the face of the ground.
15 妇人就照以利亚的话去行。她和她家中的人，并以利亚，吃了许多日子。
So she went and made ready, according to the word of Elijah, —and did eat, she, and he, and her house, [certain] days:
16 坛内的面果不减少，瓶里的油也不缺短，正如耶和华借以利亚所说的话。
The jar of meal, did not waste, —and, the cruse of oil, did not fail, —according to the word of Yahweh, which he spake through Elijah.
17 这事以后，作那家主母的妇人，她儿子病了；病得甚重，以致身无气息。
And it came to pass, after these things, that the son of the woman, owner of the house, fell sick, —yea it came to pass that his sickness was very severe, until no, breath, was left in him.
18 妇人对以利亚说：“神人哪，我与你何干？你竟到我这里来，使 神想念我的罪，以致我的儿子死呢？”
Then said she unto Elijah, What have I in common with thee, O man of God? Hast thou come unto me, to call to remembrance mine iniquity, and to cause the death of my son?
19 以利亚对她说：“把你儿子交给我。”以利亚就从妇人怀中将孩子接过来，抱到他所住的楼中，放在自己的床上，
And he said unto her—Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him unto the upper room, where, he, was staying, and laid him upon his own bed.
20 就求告耶和华说：“耶和华—我的 神啊，我寄居在这寡妇的家里，你就降祸与她，使她的儿子死了吗？”
Then cried he unto Yahweh, and said, —O Yahweh, my God! Even upon the widow with whom I am sojourning, hast thou brought misfortune by causing the death of her son?
21 以利亚三次伏在孩子的身上，求告耶和华说：“耶和华—我的 神啊，求你使这孩子的灵魂仍入他的身体！”
And he stretched himself out upon the boy, three times, and cried unto Yahweh, and said, —O Yahweh, my God! Let the life of this boy, I pray thee, come again within him.
22 耶和华应允以利亚的话，孩子的灵魂仍入他的身体，他就活了。
And Yahweh hearkened unto the voice of Elijah, —and the life of the boy came again within him, and he lived.
23 以利亚将孩子从楼上抱下来，进屋子交给他母亲，说：“看哪，你的儿子活了！”
Then Elijah took the boy, and carried him down out of the upper room, into the house, and gave him to his mother, —and Elijah said, See! thy son liveth.
24 妇人对以利亚说：“现在我知道你是神人，耶和华借你口所说的话是真的。”
And the woman said unto Elijah, Now, then I know, that, a man of God, thou art, —and that, the word of Yahweh, is in thy mouth, of a truth.
