1 Kings 19
1 And Ahab declareth to Jezebel all that Elijah did, and all how he slew all the prophets by the sword,
Nunciavit autem Achab Iezabel omnia quæ fecerat Elias, et quo modo occidisset universos prophetas gladio.
2 and Jezebel sendeth a messenger unto Elijah, saying, 'Thus doth the gods, and thus do they add, surely about this time to-morrow, I make thy life as the life of one of them.'
Misitque Iezabel nuncium ad Eliam, dicens: Hæc mihi faciant dii, et hæc addant, nisi hac hora cras posuero animam tuam sicut animam unius ex illis.
3 And he feareth, and riseth, and goeth for his life, and cometh in to Beer-Sheba, that [is] Judah's, and leaveth his young man there,
Timuit ergo Elias, et surgens abiit quocumque eum ferebat voluntas: venitque in Bersabee Iuda, et dimisit ibi puerum suum,
4 and he himself hath gone into the wilderness a day's Journey, and cometh and sitteth under a certain retem-tree, and desireth his soul to die, and saith, 'Enough, now, O Jehovah, take my soul, for I [am] not better than my fathers.'
et perrexit in desertum, viam unius diei. Cumque venisset, et sederet subter unam iuniperum, petivit animæ suæ ut moreretur, et ait: Sufficit mihi Domine, tolle animam meam: neque enim melior sum, quam patres mei.
5 And he lieth down and sleepeth under a certain retem-tree, and lo, a messenger cometh against him, and saith to him, 'Rise, eat;'
Proiecitque se, et obdormivit in umbra iuniperi: et ecce Angelus Domini tetigit eum, et dixit illi: Surge, et comede.
6 and he looketh attentively, and lo, at his bolster a cake [baken on] burning stones, and a dish of water, and he eateth, and drinketh, and turneth, and lieth down.
Respexit, et ecce ad caput suum subcinericius panis, et vas aquæ: comedit ergo, et bibit, et rursum obdormivit.
7 And the messenger of Jehovah turneth back a second time, and cometh against him, and saith, 'Rise, eat, for the way is too great for thee;'
Reversusque est Angelus Domini secundo, et tetigit eum, dixitque illi: Surge, comede: grandis enim tibi restat via.
8 and he riseth, and eateth, and drinketh, and goeth in the power of that food forty days and forty nights, unto the mount of God — Horeb.
Qui cum surrexisset, comedit et bibit, et ambulavit in fortitudine cibi illius quadraginta diebus, et quadraginta noctibus, usque ad montem Dei Horeb.
9 And he cometh in there, unto the cave, and lodgeth there, and lo, the word of Jehovah [is] unto him, and saith to him, 'What — to thee, here, Elijah?'
Cumque venisset illuc, mansit in spelunca: et ecce sermo Domini ad eum, dixitque illi: Quid hic agis Elia?
10 And he saith, 'I have been very zealous for Jehovah, God of Hosts, for the sons of Israel have forsaken Thy covenant — Thine altars they have thrown down, and Thy prophets they have slain by the sword, and I am left, I, by myself, and they seek my life — to take it.'
At ille respondit: Zelo zelatus sum pro Domino Deo exercituum, quia dereliquerunt pactum tuum filii Israel: altaria tua destruxerunt, prophetas tuos occiderunt gladio, derelictus sum ego solus, et quærunt animam meam ut auferant eam.
11 And He saith, 'Go out, and thou hast stood in the mount before Jehovah.' And lo, Jehovah is passing by, and a wind — great and strong — is rending mountains, and shivering rocks before Jehovah: — not in the wind [is] Jehovah; and after the wind a shaking: — not in the shaking [is] Jehovah;
Et ait ei: Egredere, et sta in monte coram Domino: et ecce Dominus transit, et spiritus grandis et fortis subvertens montes, et conterens petras ante Dominum: non in spiritu Dominus, et post spiritum commotio: non in commotione Dominus,
12 and after the shaking a fire: — not in the fire [is] Jehovah; and after the fire a voice still small;
et post commotionem ignis: non in igne Dominus, et post ignem sibilus auræ tenuis.
13 and it cometh to pass, at Elijah's hearing [it], that he wrappeth his face in his robe, and goeth out, and standeth at the opening of the cave, and lo, unto him [is] a voice, and it saith, 'What — to thee, here, Elijah?'
Quod cum audisset Elias, operuit vultum suum pallio, et egressus stetit in ostio speluncæ, et ecce vox ad eum dicens: Quid hic agis Elia? Et ille respondit:
14 And he saith, 'I have been very zealous for Jehovah, God of Hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken Thy covenant, Thine altars they have thrown down, and Thy prophets they have slain by the sword, and I am left, I, by myself, and they seek my life — to take it.'
Zelo zelatus sum pro Domino Deo exercituum: quia dereliquerunt pactum tuum filii Israel: altaria tua destruxerunt, prophetas tuos occiderunt gladio, derelictus sum ego solus, et quærunt animam meam ut auferant eam.
15 And Jehovah saith unto him, 'Go turn back on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus, and thou hast gone in, and anointed Hazael for king over Aram,
Et ait Dominus ad eum: Vade, et revertere in viam tuam per desertum in Damascum: cumque perveneris illuc, unges Hazael regem super Syriam,
16 and Jehu son of Nimshi thou dost anoint for king over Israel, and Elisha son of Shaphat, of Abel-Meholah, thou dost anoint for prophet in thy stead.
et Iehu filium Namsi unges regem super Israel: Eliseum autem filium Saphat, qui est de Abelmeula, unges prophetam pro te.
17 'And it hath been, him who is escaped from the sword of Hazael, put to death doth Jehu, and him who is escaped from the sword of Jehu put to death doth Elisha;
Et erit, quicumque fugerit gladium Hazael, occidet eum Iehu: et quicumque fugerit gladium Iehu, interficiet eum Eliseus.
18 and I have left in Israel seven thousand, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that hath not kissed him.'
Et derelinquam mihi in Israel septem millia virorum, quorum genua non sunt incurvata ante Baal, et omne os, quod non adoravit eum osculans manus.
19 And he goeth thence, and findeth Elisha son of Shaphat, and he is plowing; twelve yoke [are] before him, and he [is] with the twelfth; and Elijah passeth over unto him, and casteth his robe upon him,
Profectus ergo inde Elias, reperit Eliseum filium Saphat, arantem in duodecim iugis boum. et ipse in duodecim iugis boum arantibus unus erat: cumque venisset Elias ad eum, misit pallium suum super illum.
20 and he forsaketh the oxen, and runneth after Elijah, and saith, 'Let me give a kiss, I pray thee, to my father and to my mother, and I go after thee.' And he saith to him, 'Go, turn back, for what have I done to thee?'
Qui statim relictis bobus cucurrit post Eliam, et ait: Osculer, oro, patrem meum, et matrem meam, et sic sequar te. Dixitque ei: Vade, et revertere: quod enim meum erat, feci tibi.
21 And he turneth back from after him, and taketh the yoke of oxen, and sacrificeth it, and with instruments of the oxen he hath boiled their flesh, and giveth to the people, and they eat, and he riseth, and goeth after Elijah, and serveth him.
Reversus autem ab eo, tulit par boum, et mactavit illud, et in aratro boum coxit carnes, et dedit populo, et comederunt: consurgensque abiit, et secutus est Eliam, et ministrabat ei.
