And Eliu the prophet, the Thesbite of Thesbae of Galaad, said to Achaab, As the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be these years dew nor rain, except by the word of my mouth.

ΚΑΙ εἶπεν ᾿Ηλιοὺ ὁ προφήτης Θεσβίτης ὁ ἐκ Θεσβῶν τῆς Γαλαὰδ πρὸς ᾿Αχαάβ· ζῇ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τῶν δυνάμεων ὁ Θεὸς ᾿Ισραήλ, ᾧ παρέστην ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, εἰ ἔσται τὰ ἔτη ταῦτα δρόσος καὶ ὑετός, ὅτι εἰ μὴ διὰ στόματος λόγου μου.

И҆ речѐ и҆лїа̀ прⷪ҇ро́къ ѳесві́тѧнинъ, и҆́же ѿ ѳесві́и галаа́дскїѧ, ко а҆хаа́вꙋ: жи́въ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ си́лъ, бг҃ъ і҆и҃левъ, є҆мꙋ́же предстою̀ пред̾ ни́мъ, а҆́ще бꙋ́детъ въ лѣ̑та сїѧ̑ роса̀ и҆ до́ждь, то́чїю ѿ ᲂу҆́стъ словесѐ моегѡ̀.

2

And the word of the Lord came to Eliu, [saying],

καὶ ἐγένετο ῥῆμα Κυρίου πρὸς ᾿Ηλιού·

И҆ бы́сть гл҃ъ гдⷭ҇ень ко и҆лїѝ:

3

Depart hence eastward, and hide thee by the brook of Chorrath, that is before Jordan.

πορεύου ἐντεῦθεν κατὰ ἀνατολὰς καὶ κρύβηθι ἐν τῷ χειμάρρῳ Χορρὰθ τοῦ ἐπὶ προσώπου τοῦ ᾿Ιορδάνου·

и҆дѝ ѿсю́дꙋ на восто́къ и҆ скры́йсѧ въ пото́цѣ хора́ѳа прѧ́мѡ лицꙋ̀ і҆ѻрда́новꙋ:

4

And it shall be [that] thou shalt drink water of the brook, and I will charge the ravens to feed thee there.

καὶ ἔσται ἐκ τοῦ χειμάρρου πίεσαι ὕδωρ, καὶ τοῖς κόραξιν ἐντελοῦμαι διατρέφειν σε ἐκεῖ.

и҆ бꙋ́деши пи́ти ѿ пото́ка во́дꙋ, и҆ вра́нѡмъ заповѣ́дахъ препита́ти тѧ̀ та́мѡ.

5

And Eliu did according to the word of the Lord, and he sat by the brook of Chorrath before Jordan.

καὶ ἐποίησεν ᾿Ηλιοὺ κατὰ τὸ ρῆμα Κυρίου, καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐν τῷ χειμάρρῳ Χορρὰθ ἐπὶ προσώπου τοῦ ᾿Ιορδάνου.

И҆ сотворѝ и҆лїа̀ по гл҃ꙋ гдⷭ҇ню, и҆ сѣ́де при пото́цѣ хора́ѳовѣ прѧ́мѡ лицꙋ̀ і҆ѻрда́новꙋ:

6

And the ravens brought him loaves in the morning, and flesh in the evening and he drank water of the brook.

καὶ οἱ κόρακες ἔφερον αὐτῷ ἄρτους τὸ πρωΐ καὶ κρέα τὸ δείλης, καὶ ἐκ τοῦ χειμάρρου ἔπινεν ὕδωρ.

и҆ вра́нове приноша́хꙋ є҆мꙋ̀ хлѣ́бы и҆ мѧса̀ заꙋ́тра, и҆ хлѣ́бы и҆ мѧса̀ къ ве́черꙋ, и҆ ѿ пото́ка пїѧ́ше во́дꙋ.

7

And it came to pass after some time, that the brook was dried up, because there had been no rain upon the earth.

καὶ ἐγένετο μεθ᾿ ἡμέρας καὶ ἐξηράνθη ὁ χειμάρρους, ὅτι οὐκ ἐγένετο ὑετὸς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.

И҆ бы́сть по дне́хъ, и҆ и҆́зсше и҆сто́чникъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не бѣ̀ дождѧ̀ на зе́млю,

8

And the word of the Lord came to Eliu, [saying],

καὶ ἐγένετο ρῆμα Κυρίου πρὸς ᾿Ηλιού·

и҆ бы́сть гл҃ъ гдⷭ҇ень ко и҆лїѝ гл҃ѧ:

9

Arise, and go to Sarepta of the Sidonian [land]: behold, I have there commanded a widow-woman to maintain thee.

ἀνάστηθι καὶ πορεύου εἰς Σαρεπτὰ τῆς Σιδωνίας· ἰδοὺ ἐντέταλμαι ἐκεῖ γυναικὶ χήρᾳ τοῦ διατρέφειν σε.

воста́ни и҆ и҆дѝ въ саре́птꙋ сїдѡ́нскꙋю, и҆ пребꙋ́ди та́мѡ: се́ бо, заповѣ́дахъ та́мѡ женѣ̀ вдови́цѣ препита́ти тѧ̀.

10

And he arose and went to Sarepta, and came to the gate of the city: and, behold, a widow-woman was there gathering sticks; and Eliu cried after her, and said to her, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.

καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς Σαρεπτὰ καὶ ἧλθεν εἰς τὸν πυλῶνα τῆς πόλεως, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖ γυνὴ χήρα συνέλεγε ξύλα· καὶ ἐβόησεν ὀπίσω αὐτῆς ᾿Ηλιοὺ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ· λαβὲ δή μοι ὀλίγον ὕδωρ εἰς ἄγγος καὶ πίομαι.

И҆ воста̀ и҆ и҆́де въ саре́птꙋ сїдѡ́нскꙋю, и҆ прїи́де ко вратѡ́мъ гра́да: и҆ сѐ, та́мѡ жена̀ вдова̀ собира́ше дрова̀. И҆ возопѝ и҆лїа̀ в̾слѣ́дъ є҆ѧ̀ и҆ речѐ є҆́й: принесѝ нн҃ѣ мѝ ма́лѡ воды̀ въ сосꙋ́дѣ, и҆ и҆спїю̀.

11

And she went to fetch it; and Eliu cried after her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of the bread that is in thy hand.

καὶ ἐπορεύθη λαβεῖν, καὶ ἐβόησεν ὀπίσω αὐτῆς ᾿Ηλιοὺ καὶ εἶπε· λήψῃ δή μοι ψωμὸν ἄρτου τοῦ ἐν τῇ χειρί σου.

И҆ и҆́де взѧ́ти. И҆ возопѝ в̾слѣ́дъ є҆ѧ̀ и҆лїа̀ и҆ речѐ є҆́й: прїимѝ ᲂу҆̀бо мнѣ̀ и҆ ᲂу҆крꙋ́хъ хлѣ́ба въ рꙋцѣ̀ свое́й, да ꙗ҆́мъ.

12

And the woman said, [As] the Lord thy God lives, I have not a cake, but only a handful of meal in the pitcher, and a little oil in a cruse, and, behold, I am going to gather two sticks, and I shall go in and dress it for myself and my children, and we shall eat it and die.

καὶ εἶπεν ἡ γυνή· ζῇ Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου, εἰ ἔστι μοι ἐγκρυφίας ἀλλ᾿ ἢ ὅσον δρὰξ ἀλεύρου ἐν τῇ ὑδρίᾳ καὶ ὀλίγον ἔλαιον ἐν τῷ καψάκῃ· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ συλλέξω δύο ξυλάρια καὶ εἰσελεύσομαι καὶ ποιήσω αὐτὸ ἐμαυτῇ καὶ τοῖς τέκνοις μου, καὶ φαγόμεθα καὶ ἀποθανούμεθα.

И҆ речѐ жена̀: жи́въ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ тво́й, а҆́ще є҆́сть ᲂу҆ менє̀ ѡ҆прѣсно́къ, но то́кмѡ го́рсть мꙋкѝ въ водоно́сѣ и҆ ма́лѡ є҆ле́а въ чва́нцѣ: и҆ сѐ, а҆́зъ соберꙋ̀ два̀ пѡлѣ́нца, и҆ вни́дꙋ, и҆ сотворю̀ є҆̀ себѣ̀ и҆ дѣ́темъ мои̑мъ, и҆ снѣ́мы є҆̀, и҆ ᲂу҆́мремъ.

13

And Eliu said to her, Be of good courage, go in and do according to thy word: but make me thereof a little cake, and thou shalt bring [it] out to me first, and thou shalt make [some] for thyself and thy children last.

καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὴν ᾿Ηλιού· θάρσει, εἴσελθε καὶ ποίησον κατὰ τὸ ρῆμά σου· ἀλλὰ ποίησόν μοι ἐκεῖθεν ἐγκρυφίαν μικρὸν καὶ ἐξοίσεις μοι ἐν πρώτοις, σαυτῇ δὲ καὶ τοῖς τέκνοις σου ποιήσεις ἐπ᾿ ἐσχάτῳ·

И҆ речѐ къ не́й и҆лїа̀: дерза́й, вни́ди и҆ сотворѝ по глаго́лꙋ твоемꙋ̀: но сотвори́ ми ѿтꙋ́дꙋ ѡ҆прѣсно́къ ма́лъ пре́жде, и҆ принеси́ ми, себѣ́ же и҆ ча́дѡмъ свои̑мъ да сотвори́ши по́слѣжде,

14

For thus saith the Lord, The pitcher of meal shall not fail, and the cruse of oil shall not diminish, until the day that the Lord gives rain upon the earth.

ὅτι τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἡ ὑδρία τοῦ ἀλεύρου οὐκ ἐκλείψει καὶ ὁ καψάκης τοῦ ἐλαίου οὐκ ἐλαττονήσει ἕως ἡμέρας τοῦ δοῦναι Κύριον τὸν ὑετὸν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.

ꙗ҆́кѡ та́кѡ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ і҆и҃левъ: водоно́съ мꙋкѝ не ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́етъ, и҆ чва́нецъ є҆ле́а не ᲂу҆ма́литсѧ до днѐ, до́ндеже да́стъ гдⷭ҇ь до́ждь на зе́млю.

15

And the woman went and did [so], and did eat, she, and he, and her children.

καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἡ γυνή, καὶ ἐποίησε· καὶ ἤσθιεν αὐτὴ καὶ αὐτὸς καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῆς.

И҆ и҆́де жена̀, и҆ сотворѝ по глаго́лꙋ и҆лїинꙋ̀, и҆ дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ ꙗ҆дѐ то́й, и҆ та̀, и҆ ча̑да є҆ѧ̀.

16

And the pitcher of meal failed not, and the cruse of oil was not diminished, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by the hand of Eliu.

καὶ ἡ ὑδρία τοῦ ἀλεύρου οὐκ ἐξέλιπε καὶ ὁ καψάκης τοῦ ἐλαίου οὐκ ἠλαττονήθη κατὰ τὸ ρῆμα Κυρίου, ὃ ἐλάλησεν ἐν χειρὶ ᾿Ηλιού.

И҆ ѿ тогѡ̀ днѐ водоно́съ мꙋкѝ не ѡ҆скꙋдѣ̀, и҆ чва́нецъ є҆ле́а не ᲂу҆ма́лисѧ, по гл҃ꙋ гдⷭ҇ню, є҆го́же гл҃а рꙋко́ю и҆лїино́ю.

17

And it came to pass afterward, that the son of the woman the mistress of the house was sick; and his sickness was very severe, until there was no breath left in him.

καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ ἠρρώστησεν ὁ υἱὸς τῆς γυναικὸς τῆς κυρίας τοῦ οἴκου, καὶ ἦν ἡ ἀρρωστία αὐτοῦ κραταιὰ σφόδρα, ἕως οὐχ ὑπελείφθη ἐν αὐτῷ πνεῦμα.

И҆ бы́сть по си́хъ, и҆ разболѣ́сѧ сы́нъ жены̀ госпожѝ до́мꙋ, и҆ бѣ̀ болѣ́знь є҆гѡ̀ крѣпка̀ ѕѣлѡ̀, до́ндеже не ѡ҆ста́сѧ въ не́мъ дꙋ́хъ є҆гѡ̀.

18

And she said to Eliu, What have I to do with thee, O man of God? hast thou come in to me to bring my sins to remembrance, and to slay my son?

καὶ εἶπε πρὸς ᾿Ηλιού· τί ἐμοὶ καὶ σοί, ἄνθρωπε τοῦ Θεοῦ; εἰσῆλθες πρός με τοῦ ἀναμνῆσαι ἀδικίας μου καὶ θανατῶσαι τὸν υἱόν μου;

И҆ речѐ ко и҆лїѝ: что̀ мнѣ̀ и҆ тебѣ̀, человѣ́че бж҃їй; вше́лъ є҆сѝ ко мнѣ̀ воспомѧнꙋ́ти непра̑вды моѧ̑ и҆ ᲂу҆мори́ти сы́на моего̀.

19

And Eliu said to the woman, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and took him up to the chamber in which he himself lodged, and laid him on the bed.

καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ηλιοὺ πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα· δός μοι τὸν υἱόν σου. καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτὸν ἐκ τοῦ κόλπου αὐτῆς καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ ὑπερῷον, ἐν ᾧ αὐτὸς ἐκάθητο ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἐκοίμισεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τῆς κλίνης.

И҆ речѐ и҆лїа̀ къ женѣ̀: да́ждь мѝ сы́на твоего̀. И҆ взѧ́тъ є҆го̀ ѿ нѣ́дра є҆ѧ̀, и҆ вознесѐ є҆го̀ въ го́рницꙋ, и҆дѣ́же са́мъ почива́ше, и҆ положѝ є҆го̀ на ѻ҆дрѣ̀ свое́мъ.

20

And Eliu cried aloud, and said, Alas, O Lord, the witness of the widow with whom I sojourn, thou hast wrought evil [for her] in slaying her son.

καὶ ἀνεβόησεν ᾿Ηλιού, καὶ εἶπεν· οἴμοι, Κύριε, ὁ μάρτυς τῆς χήρας, μεθ᾿ ἧς ἐγὼ κατοικῶ μετ᾿ αὐτῆς, σὺ κεκάκωκας τοῦ θανατῶσαι τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς.

И҆ возопѝ и҆лїа̀ ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ и҆ речѐ: ᲂу҆вы̀ мнѣ̀, гдⷭ҇и, свидѣ́телю вдовы̀, ᲂу҆ неѧ́же а҆́зъ нн҃ѣ пребыва́ю, ты̀ ѡ҆ѕло́билъ є҆сѝ є҆́же ᲂу҆мори́ти сы́на є҆ѧ̀.

21

And he breathed on the child thrice, and called on the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, let, I pray thee, the soul of this child return to him.

καὶ ἐνεφύσησε τῷ παιδαρίῳ τρὶς καὶ ἐπεκαλέσατο τὸν Κύριον καὶ εἶπε· Κύριε ὁ Θεός μου, ἐπιστραφήτω δὴ ἡ ψυχὴ τοῦ παιδαρίου τούτου εἰς αὐτόν.

И҆ дꙋ́нꙋ на ѻ҆́трочища три́жды, и҆ призва̀ гдⷭ҇а и҆ речѐ: гдⷭ҇и бж҃е мо́й, да возврати́тсѧ ᲂу҆̀бо дꙋша̀ ѻ҆́трочища сегѡ̀ во́нь. И҆ бы́сть та́кѡ:

22

And it was so, and the child cried out,

καὶ ἐγένετο οὕτως, καὶ ἀνεβόησε τὸ παιδάριον.

и҆ возопѝ ѻ҆́трочищь, и҆ сведѐ є҆го̀ съ го́рницы въ до́мъ, и҆ дадѐ є҆го̀ ма́тери є҆гѡ̀. И҆ речѐ и҆лїа̀: ви́ждь, жи́въ є҆́сть сы́нъ тво́й.

23

and he brought him down from the upper chamber into the house, and gave him to his mother; and Eliu said, See, thy son lives.

καὶ κατήγαγεν αὐτὸ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὑπερῴου εἰς τὸν οἶκον καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὸ τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ηλιού· βλέπε, ζῇ ὁ υἱός σου.

И҆ речѐ жена̀ ко и҆лїѝ: сѐ, ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ человѣ́къ бж҃їй є҆сѝ ты̀, и҆ гл҃ъ гдⷭ҇ень во ᲂу҆стѣ́хъ твои́хъ и҆́стиненъ.

24

And the woman said to Eliu, Behold, I know that thou [art] a man of God, and the word of the Lord in thy mouth [is] true.

καὶ εἶπεν ἡ γυνὴ πρὸς ᾿Ηλιού· ἰδοὺ ἔγνωκα ὅτι σὺ ἄνθρωπος Θεοῦ καὶ ρῆμα Κυρίου ἐν τῷ στόματί σου ἀληθινόν.
