1 Kings 17 (WEBP)

[1] Elijah the Tishbite, who was one of the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.”
[2] Then Yahweh’s word came to him, saying,
[3] “Go away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.
[4] You shall drink from the brook. I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
[5] So he went and did according to Yahweh’s word, for he went and lived by the brook Cherith that is before the Jordan.
[6] The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook.
[7] After a while, the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
[8] Yahweh’s word came to him, saying,
[9] “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.”
[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.”
[11] As she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.”
[12] She said, “As Yahweh 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.”
[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.
[14] For Yahweh, 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 Yahweh sends rain on the earth.’ ”
[15] She went and did according to the saying of Elijah; and she, he, and her household ate many days.
[16] The jar of meal didn’t run out and the jar of oil didn’t fail, according to Yahweh’s word, which he spoke by Elijah.
[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.
[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!”
[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.
[20] He cried to Yahweh and said, “Yahweh my God, have you also brought evil on the widow with whom I am staying, by killing her son?”
[21] He stretched himself on the child three times, and cried to Yahweh and said, “Yahweh my God, please let this child’s soul come into him again.”
[22] Yahweh listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
[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.”
[24] The woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that Yahweh’s word in your mouth is truth.”

[1] και ειπεν ηλιου ο προφητης ο θεσβιτης εκ θεσβων της γαλααδ προς αχααβ ζη κυριος ο θεος των δυναμεων ο θεος ισραηλ ω παρεστην ενωπιον αυτου ει εσται τα ετη ταυτα δροσος και υετος οτι ει μη δια στοματος λογου μου
[2] και εγενετο ρημα κυριου προς ηλιου
[3] πορευου εντευθεν κατα ανατολας και κρυβηθι εν τω χειμαρρω χορραθ του επι προσωπου του ιορδανου
[4] και εσται εκ του χειμαρρου πιεσαι υδωρ και τοις κοραξιν εντελουμαι διατρεφειν σε εκει
[5] και εποιησεν ηλιου κατα το ρημα κυριου και εκαθισεν εν τω χειμαρρω χορραθ επι προσωπου του ιορδανου
[6] και οι κορακες εφερον αυτω αρτους το πρωι και κρεα το δειλης και εκ του χειμαρρου επινεν υδωρ
[7] και εγενετο μετα ημερας και εξηρανθη ο χειμαρρους οτι ουκ εγενετο υετος επι της γης
[8] και εγενετο ρημα κυριου προς ηλιου
[9] αναστηθι και πορευου εις σαρεπτα της σιδωνιας ιδου εντεταλμαι εκει γυναικι χηρα του διατρεφειν σε
[10] και ανεστη και επορευθη εις σαρεπτα εις τον πυλωνα της πολεως και ιδου εκει γυνη χηρα συνελεγεν ξυλα και εβοησεν οπισω αυτης ηλιου και ειπεν αυτη λαβε δη μοι ολιγον υδωρ εις αγγος και πιομαι
[11] και επορευθη λαβειν και εβοησεν οπισω αυτης ηλιου και ειπεν λημψη δη μοι ψωμον αρτου εν τη χειρι σου
[12] και ειπεν η γυνη ζη κυριος ο θεος σου ει εστιν μοι εγκρυφιας αλλ η οσον δραξ αλευρου εν τη υδρια και ολιγον ελαιον εν τω καψακη και ιδου εγω συλλεγω δυο ξυλαρια και εισελευσομαι και ποιησω αυτο εμαυτη και τοις τεκνοις μου και φαγομεθα και αποθανουμεθα
[13] και ειπεν προς αυτην ηλιου θαρσει εισελθε και ποιησον κατα το ρημα σου αλλα ποιησον εμοι εκειθεν εγκρυφιαν μικρον εν πρωτοις και εξοισεις μοι σαυτη δε και τοις τεκνοις σου ποιησεις επ εσχατου
[14] οτι ταδε λεγει κυριος η υδρια του αλευρου ουκ εκλειψει και ο καψακης του ελαιου ουκ ελαττονησει εως ημερας του δουναι κυριον τον υετον επι της γης
[15] και επορευθη η γυνη και εποιησεν και ησθιεν αυτη και αυτος και τα τεκνα αυτης
[16] και η υδρια του αλευρου ουκ εξελιπεν και ο καψακης του ελαιου ουκ ελαττονωθη κατα το ρημα κυριου ο ελαλησεν εν χειρι ηλιου
[17] και εγενετο μετα ταυτα και ηρρωστησεν ο υιος της γυναικος της κυριας του οικου και ην η αρρωστια αυτου κραταια σφοδρα εως ου ουχ υπελειφθη εν αυτω πνευμα
[18] και ειπεν προς ηλιου τι εμοι και σοι ανθρωπε του θεου εισηλθες προς με του αναμνησαι τας αδικιας μου και θανατωσαι τον υιον μου
[19] και ειπεν ηλιου προς την γυναικα δος μοι τον υιον σου και ελαβεν αυτον εκ του κολπου αυτης και ανηνεγκεν αυτον εις το υπερωον εν ω αυτος εκαθητο εκει και εκοιμισεν αυτον επι της κλινης αυτου
[20] και ανεβοησεν ηλιου και ειπεν οιμμοι κυριε ο μαρτυς της χηρας μεθ ης εγω κατοικω μετ αυτης συ κεκακωκας του θανατωσαι τον υιον αυτης
[21] και ενεφυσησεν τω παιδαριω τρις και επεκαλεσατο τον κυριον και ειπεν κυριε ο θεος μου επιστραφητω δη η ψυχη του παιδαριου τουτου εις αυτον
[22] και εγενετο ουτως και ανεβοησεν το παιδαριον
[23] και κατηγαγεν αυτον απο του υπερωου εις τον οικον και εδωκεν αυτον τη μητρι αυτου και ειπεν ηλιου βλεπε ζη ο υιος σου
[24] και ειπεν η γυνη προς ηλιου ιδου εγνωκα οτι ανθρωπος θεου ει συ και ρημα κυριου εν στοματι σου αληθινον
