1 Kings 17
1 Elijah the Tishbite, who was one of the settlers 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, but according to my word.”
И рече Илиа пророк Фесвитянин, иже от фесвии Галаадския, ко Ахааву: жив Господь Бог сил, Бог Израилев, Емуже предстою пред Ним, аще будет в лета сия роса и дождь, точию от уст словесе моего.
2 Then the LORD’s word came to him, saying,
И бысть глагол Господень ко Илии:
3 “Go away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.
иди отсюду на восток и скрыйся в потоце Хорафа прямо лицу Иорданову:
4 You shall drink from the brook. I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
и будеши пити от потока воду, и враном заповедах препитати тя тамо.
5 So he went and did according to the LORD’s word, for he went and lived by the brook Cherith that is before the Jordan.
И сотвори Илиа по глаголу Господню, и седе при потоце Хорафове прямо лицу Иорданову:
6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook.
и вранове приношаху ему хлебы и мяса заутра, и хлебы и мяса к вечеру, и от потока пияше воду.
7 After a while, the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
И бысть по днех, и изсше источник, яко не бе дождя на землю,
8 The LORD’s word came to him, saying,
и бысть глагол Господень ко Илии глаголя:
9 “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.”
востани и иди в Сарепту Сидонскую, и пребуди тамо: се бо, заповедах тамо жене вдовице препитати тя.
10 So he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and said, “Please get me a little water in a jar, that I may drink.”
И воста и иде в Сарепту Сидонскую, и прииде ко вратом града: и се, тамо жена вдова собираше дрова. И возопи Илиа вслед ея и рече ей: принеси ныне ми мало воды в сосуде, и испию.
11 As she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.”
И иде взяти. И возопи вслед ея Илиа и рече ей: приими убо мне и укрух хлеба в руце своей, да ям.
12 She said, “As the LORD your God lives, I don’t have anything baked, but only a handful of meal in a jar and a little oil in a jar. Behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and bake it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.”
И рече жена: жив Господь Бог твой, аще есть у мене опреснок, но токмо горсть муки в водоносе и мало елеа в чванце: и се, аз соберу два поленца, и вниду, и сотворю е себе и детем моим, и снемы е, и умрем.
13 Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go and do as you have said; but make me a little cake from it first, and bring it out to me, and afterward make some for you and for your son.
И рече к ней Илиа: дерзай, вниди и сотвори но глаголу твоему: но сотвори ми оттуду опреснок мал прежде, и принеси ми, себе же и чадом своим да сотвориши послежде,
14 For the LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘The jar of meal will not run out, and the jar of oil will not fail, until the day that the LORD sends rain on the earth.’”
яко тако глаголет Господь Бог Израилев: водонос муки не оскудеет, и чванец елеа не умалится до дне, дондеже даст Господь дождь на землю.
15 She went and did according to the saying of Elijah; and she, he, and her household ate many days.
И иде жена, и сотвори по глаголу Илиину, и даде ему, и яде той, и та, и чада ея.
16 The jar of meal didn’t run out and the jar of oil didn’t fail, according to the LORD’s word, which he spoke by Elijah.
И от того дне водонос муки не оскуде, и чванец елеа не умалися, по глаголу Господню, егоже глагола рукою Илииною.
17 After these things, the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became sick; and his sickness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.
И бысть по сих, и разболеся сын жены госпожи дому, и бе болезнь его крепка зело, дондеже не остася в нем дух его.
18 She said to Elijah, “What have I to do with you, you man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to memory, and to kill my son!”
И рече ко Илии: что мне и тебе, человече Божий? Вшел еси ко мне воспомянути неправды моя и уморити сына моего.
19 He said to her, “Give me your son.” He took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the room where he stayed, and laid him on his own bed.
И рече Илиа к жене: даждь ми сына твоего. И взят его от недра ея, и вознесе его в горницу, идеже сам почиваше, и положи его на одре своем.
20 He cried to the LORD and said, “LORD my God, have you also brought evil on the widow with whom I am staying, by killing her son?”
И возопи Илиа ко Господу и рече: увы мне, Господи, свидетелю вдовы, у неяже аз ныне пребываю, Ты озлобил еси еже уморити сына ея.
21 He stretched himself on the child three times, and cried to the LORD and said, “LORD my God, please let this child’s soul come into him again.”
И дуну на отрочища трижды, и призва Господа и рече: Господи Боже мой, да возвратится убо душа отрочища сего в онь.
22 The LORD listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
И бысть тако: и возопи отрочищь,
23 Elijah took the child and brought him down out of the room into the house, and delivered him to his mother; and Elijah said, “Behold, your son lives.”
и сведе его с горницы в дом, и даде его матери его. И рече Илиа: виждь, жив есть сын твой.
24 The woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the LORD’s word in your mouth is truth.”
И рече жена ко Илии: се, уразумех, яко человек Божий еси ты, и глагол Господень во устех твоих истинен.
