Young's Literal Translation
And Elijah the Tishbite, who
was
of the inhabitants of Gilead, said
unto Ahab, As
the
LORD
God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand
, there shall
not be
dew
nor
rain
these years, but
according to my word.
And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, saith
unto Ahab, `Jehovah,
God of Israel ,
liveth, before whom I have
stood
, there is
not these years dew
and
rain
, except
according to my word. '
And the word of the
LORD
came
unto him, saying,
And the word of Jehovah
is
unto him, saying,
Get
thee
hence,
and turn
thee eastward, and hide
thyself
by the brook Cherith, that is before
Jordan .
`Go
from
this
`place';
and thou
hast
turned
for
thee eastward, and been
hidden
by the brook Cherith, that `
is '
on
the
front
of
the
Jordan ,
And it shall
be
, that
thou
shalt
drink
of
the brook ;
and I have commanded the
ravens
to feed
thee there.
and it hath
been
, from
the brook thou
dost
drink,
and the
ravens
I have commanded to sustain
thee there. '
So
he went
and did
according unto
the word of the
LORD:
for
he went
and dwelt
by the brook Cherith, that is before
Jordan .
And
he goeth
and doth
according to
the word of Jehovah,
yea,
he goeth
and dwelleth
by the brook Cherith, that `
is '
on
the
front
of
the
Jordan ,
And the ravens brought
him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening ;
and he
drank
of the brook.
and the ravens are
bringing
to
him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening ,
and of the brook he
drinketh
.
And it came
to pass after
a
while
, that the brook dried
up, because
there had
been no rain in the land .
And it cometh
to pass, at
the
end
of
days,
that the brook drieth
up, for
there hath
been no rain in the land ,
And the word of the
LORD
came
unto him, saying,
and the word of Jehovah
is
unto him, saying,
Arise
, get
thee
to Zarephath, which
belongeth
to Zidon, and dwell
there :
behold
, I have commanded a widow woman there
to sustain thee.
`Rise
, go
to Zarephath, that
`is'
to Zidon, and thou
hast
dwelt
there ;
lo
, I have commanded there
a widow woman to sustain thee. '
So
he arose
and went
to Zarephath .
And when
he
came
to
the gate
of the city, behold
, the
widow woman was
there
gathering of
sticks :
and he called
to
her, and said
, Fetch
me
, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that
I may
drink.
And
he riseth,
and goeth
to Zarephath ,
and cometh
in
unto
the opening
of the city, and
lo
there
, a
widow woman gathering sticks ,
and he calleth
unto
her, and saith
, `Bring
, I pray thee, to
me,
a little water in a vessel, and
I drink. '
And as
she was
going
to fetch
it, he called
to
her ,
and said
, Bring me
, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine
hand.
And she goeth
to bring
`
it '
, and
he calleth
unto
her and saith
, `
Bring, I pray thee, to
me
a morsel of bread in thy
hand. '
And she said
, As
the
LORD
thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an
handful
of meal in a barrel
, and a little oil in a cruse:
and ,
behold
, I am gathering two sticks, that
I
may
go
in and dress
it for me
and my son, that
we may
eat
it ,
and die
.
And she saith
, `Jehovah
thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but the
fulness
of the
hand
of
meal in a pitcher
, and a little oil in a dish;
and lo
, I am gathering two sticks, and
have
gone
in and prepared
it for myself,
and for
my son, and
we have
eaten
it --
and died
. '
And Elijah said
unto her, Fear not ;
go and
do as
thou
hast
said:
but
make me thereof
a little cake first, and bring
it
unto
me ,
and after
make
for thee and for thy son .
And Elijah saith
unto her, `
Fear not ,
go ,
do according
to
thy
word,
only
make for
me thence
a little cake ,
in
the
first place
, and thou
hast
brought
out
to
me ;
and for thee and for thy son make
--
last;
For thus saith
the
LORD
God of Israel, The barrel
of meal shall
not waste
, neither
shall
the cruse
of oil fail
, until
the day that
the LORD
sendeth
rain
upon
the earth
.
for thus said
Jehovah,
God of Israel, The pitcher
of meal is
not consumed
, and
the dish
of oil is
not
lacking
, till
the day of
Jehovah's
giving
a
shower
on
the face
of
the ground
. '
And she went
and did
according to the saying
of Elijah :
and she, and he, and her house,
did
eat
many
days .
And she goeth,
and doth
according to the word
of Elijah ,
and she eateth
, she
and he, and her household
--
days ;
And
the barrel
of meal wasted
not, neither
did
the cruse
of oil fail
, according to the word of the
LORD,
which
he spake by Elijah.
the pitcher
of meal was
not consumed
, and
the dish
of oil did
not
lack
, according to the word of Jehovah
that
He spake by the
hand
of
Elijah.
And it came
to pass after these things, that
the son of the woman, the
mistress of the house, fell
sick ;
and his sickness was
so
sore,
that there
was
no breath left in him.
And it cometh
to pass ,
after these things, the son of the woman, mistress of the house, hath
been
sick ,
and his sickness is
very
severe
till
that no breath hath
been
left in him.
And she said
unto Elijah, What have
I
to do
with
thee, O thou
man of God? art
thou come unto me to call
my
sin
to remembrance
, and to slay
my son ?
And she saith
unto Elijah, `
What --
to me
and
to
thee, O man of God? thou hast
come unto me to cause
mine
iniquity
to be
remembered
, and to put
my son to
death!'
And he said
unto her, Give me thy son .
And he took
him out of her bosom, and carried
him up into
a
loft,
where he abode
, and laid
him upon
his own bed .
And he saith
unto her, `
Give to
me thy son ;'
and he taketh
him out of her bosom, and taketh
him up unto
the
upper
chamber
where he is
abiding
, and layeth
him on
his own bed ,
And he
cried
unto the
LORD
, and said
, O
LORD
my God, hast
thou
also brought
evil
upon
the widow with whom I sojourn,
by
slaying
her son?
and crieth
unto Jehovah
, and saith
, `Jehovah
my God, also on
the widow with whom I am
sojourning
hast
Thou
done
evil
--
to
put
her son to
death
? '
And he stretched
himself upon
the child
three times, and cried
unto the
LORD
, and said
, O LORD
my God, I pray thee, let
this
child's
soul come
into him
again.
And he stretcheth
himself out
on
the lad
three times, and calleth
unto Jehovah
, and saith
, `
O Jehovah
my God, let
turn
back,
I pray Thee, the
soul of
this
lad
into his
midst;'
And the
LORD
heard
the voice of Elijah ;
and the soul of the child
came
into him
again
, and he revived
.
and Jehovah
hearkeneth
to
the voice of Elijah ,
and the soul of the lad
turneth
back
into his
midst
, and he liveth
.
And Elijah took
the child
, and brought
him down out
of
the chamber into
the house, and delivered
him unto
his mother :
and Elijah said
, See, thy son liveth .
And Elijah taketh
the lad
, and bringeth
him down from
the upper
chamber of
the house, and giveth
him to
his mother ,
and Elijah saith
, `
See, thy son liveth !'
And the woman said
to
Elijah, Now by
this I know
that thou
art
a man of God, and that
the word of the
LORD
in thy mouth is truth.
And the woman saith
unto
Elijah, `
Now ,
this I have
known,
that a man of God thou
`art'
, and the word of Jehovah
in thy mouth `
is '
truth. '
