1And 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.
1以利亞預言旱災提斯比人以利亞，就是從基列的提斯比來的先知，對亞哈說：“我指著我所事奉永活的耶和華以色列的 神起誓，這幾年若是沒有我的命令，天必不降露，也不下雨。”
2And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
2耶和華的話臨到以利亞說：
3Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
3“你離開這裡，向東方去，躲藏在約旦河東面的基立溪旁。
4And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
4你要喝那溪裡的水，我已經吩咐烏鴉在那裡供養你。”
5So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
5於是以利亞去了，照著耶和華的話行了；他去住在約旦河東面的基立溪旁。
6And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.
6烏鴉早晨給他送餅和肉來，晚上也送餅和肉來，他也喝那溪裡的水。
7And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
7過了一些日子，那溪就乾了，因為沒有雨下在地上。
8And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
8麵和油用不盡的神蹟耶和華的話又臨到以利亞說：
9Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.
9“你起來，往西頓的撒勒法去，住在那裡；我已經吩咐那裡的一個寡婦供養你。”
10So 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.
10於是以利亞起來，往撒勒法去了；他來到城門口的時候，就看見一個寡婦在那裡撿柴；以利亞呼叫她，說：“請你用器皿取點水來給我！”
11And 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.
11她去取水的時候，以利亞又叫她，說：“請你也給我拿點餅來！”
12And 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.
12她說：“我指著永活的耶和華你的 神起誓，我沒有餅，缸裡只有一把麵粉，瓶裡只有一點油。你看我正在撿兩根柴，然後回去，為自己和兒子做餅，我們吃完了，就等死。”
13And 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.
13以利亞對她說：“不要懼怕，照著你所說的去作吧，不過要先為我做一個小餅，拿出來給我，然後才為你自己和兒子做餅。
14For 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.
14因為耶和華以色列的 神這樣說：‘缸裡的麵粉必不會用完，瓶裡的油決不會短缺，直等到耶和華降雨在地面上的日子。’”
15And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.
15她就去照著以利亞所說的作了。她和以利亞，以及她的家人，吃了許多日子。
16And 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.
16缸裡的麵粉果然沒有用完，瓶裡的油也沒有短缺，正像耶和華藉著以利亞所說的話一樣。
17And 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.
17使寡婦的兒子復活這些事以後，那婦人，就是那個家庭的主人的兒子病了。他的病情十分嚴重，以致呼吸都停止了。
18And 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?
18於是婦人對以利亞說：“神人哪，我跟你有甚麼關係呢？你竟到我這裡來，使耶和華想起我的罪孽，殺死我的兒子。”
19And 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.
19以利亞對她說：“把你的兒子交給我吧！”以利亞就從她的懷中把孩子接過來，抱他上到自己所住的樓上去，放在自己的床上。
20And 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?
20以利亞呼求耶和華說：“耶和華我的 神啊，我寄居在這寡婦的家裡，你也降禍與她，使她的兒子死去嗎？”
21And 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.
21然後，以利亞三次伏在孩子的身上，向耶和華呼求說：“耶和華我的 神，求你恢復這孩子的生命吧。”
22And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
22耶和華垂聽了以利亞的話，孩子的生命果然恢復，活過來了。
23And 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.
23以利亞把孩子抱起來，從樓上下到屋子裡去，把孩子交給他的母親；以利亞說：“看，你的兒子活了！”
24And 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.
24婦人對以利亞說：“現在我知道你是神人，耶和華藉著你的口所說的話是真實的。”
