1 Kings 17
1 And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, "As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except by my word."
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。”
2 And the word of the LORD came to him, saying,
耶和华的话临到以利亚说：
3 "Go away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Wadi Cherith, that is near the Jordan.
“你离开这里往东去，藏在约旦河东边的基立溪旁。
4 And it shall be that you will drink from the wadi. I have commanded the ravens to feed you there."
你要喝那溪里的水，我已吩咐乌鸦在那里供养你。”
5 So he went and did according to the word of the LORD; for he went and lived by the Wadi Cherith, that is near the Jordan.
于是以利亚照着耶和华的话，去住在约旦河东的基立溪旁。
6 And the ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening. And he drank from the wadi.
乌鸦早晚给他叼饼和肉来，他也喝那溪里的水。
7 And it happened after a while that the wadi dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
过了些日子，溪水就干了，因为雨没有下在地上。
8 The word of the LORD came to him, saying,
耶和华的话临到他说：
9 "Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Look, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you."
“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。”
10 So he got up and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, look, a widow was there gathering wood. And he called to her, and said, "Please bring me a little water in a pitcher, that I may drink."
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。”
11 And as she was going to get it, he called to her, and said, "Please bring me a piece of bread in your hand."
她去取水的时候，以利亚又呼叫她说：“也求你拿点饼来给我！”
12 She said, "As the LORD your God lives, I do not have anything baked, except a handful of flour in a jar, and a little oil in a jug. Look, I am gathering a couple of sticks, that I may go in and bake it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die."
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！”
13 And Elijah said to her, "Do not be afraid. Go and do as you have said. But make me of it a little cake first, and bring it out to me, and afterward make some for yourself and for your son.
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。
14 For thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'The jar of flour shall not empty, neither shall the jug of oil be empty, until the day that the LORD sends rain on the surface of the land.'"
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。”
15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah. And she, and he, and her household, ate for a long time.
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。
16 The jar of flour did not empty, neither did the jug of oil become empty, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by Elijah.
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。
17 It happened after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick. And his illness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.
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。
18 And she said to Elijah, "What do we have in common, O man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to memory, and to kill my son."
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？”
19 And he said to her, "Give me your son." And he took him out of her lap and carried him up into the room where he stayed, and laid him on his own bed.
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，
20 He cried to the LORD, and said, "LORD my God, have you also brought disaster on the widow with whom I sojourn, by killing her son?"
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？”
21 And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and called out to the LORD, and said, "LORD my God, please let this child's soul come into him again."
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！”
22 The LORD listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
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。
23 And Elijah took the child and brought him down out of the room into the house and gave him to his mother. And Elijah said, "See, your son lives."
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！”
24 And the woman said to Elijah, "Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of the LORD in your mouth is the truth."
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。”
