¹Vtedy povedal Eliáš Tišbänský, ktorý bol z cudzích obyvateľov Gileáda, Achabovi: Jako že žije Hospodin, Bôh Izraelov, pred ktorého tvárou stojím, tak isté je, že nebude po tieto roky rosy ani dažďa, len na moje slovo.

¹And 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.`

²A stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo k nemu povediac:

²And the word of Jehovah is unto him, saying,

³Odídi odtiaľto a obráť sa na východ a skry sa pri potoku Karite, ktorý je naproti Jordánu.

³`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,

⁴A bude tak, že z potoka budeš piť, a krkavcom som prikázal, aby ťa tam zaopatrovali potravou.

⁴and it hath been, from the brook thou dost drink, and the ravens I have commanded to sustain thee there.`

⁵A tak odišiel a učinil podľa slova Hospodinovho. A odíduc usadil sa pri potoku Karite, ktorý je naproti Jordánu.

⁵And 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,

⁶A krkavci mu donášali chlieb a mäso ráno a chlieb a mäso večer, a z potoka pil.

⁶and 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.

⁷A stalo sa po nejakom čase, že vyschnul potok, pretože nebolo dažďa v zemi.

⁷And it cometh to pass, at the end of days, that the brook drieth up, for there hath been no rain in the land,

⁸Vtedy sa stalo slovo Hospodinovo k nemu povediac:

⁸and the word of Jehovah is unto him, saying,

⁹Vstaň, idi do Sarepty, ktorá patrí Sidonu, a budeš bývať tam. Hľa, prikázal som tam žene vdove, aby ťa zaopatrovala potravou.

⁹`Rise, go to Zarephath, that [is] to Zidon, and thou hast dwelt there; lo, I have commanded there a widow woman to sustain thee.`

¹⁰A tak vstal Eliáš a išiel do Sarepty. A keď prišiel k bráne mesta, hľa, bola tam nejaká žena vdova, ktorá sbierala drevo, a zavolajúc na ňu riekol: Dones mi, prosím, v nádobe trochu vody, aby som sa napil.

¹⁰And 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.`

¹¹A keď išla doniesť, zavolal na ňu a riekol: Dones mi, prosím, aj kúsok chleba vo svojej ruke.

¹¹And 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.`

¹²Na to riekla žena: Jako že žije Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, nemám ani podpopolníka, iba čo mám v galete za hrsť múky a trochu oleja v nádobe. A hľa, beriem dva kúsky dreva, aby som, keď prijdem, pripravila to sebe a svojmu synovi, aby sme to zjedli a potom zomreli.

¹²And 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.`

¹³A Eliáš jej riekol: Neboj sa, idi, učiň, ako si riekla, len najprv sprav mne z toho nejaký malý podpopolník a dones mi sem von a sebe a svojmu synovi spravíš potom.

¹³And 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;

¹⁴Lebo takto hovorí Hospodin, Bôh Izraelov, že galeta múky sa nevytroví, ani nebude chýbať v nádobe oleja až do toho dňa, v ktorý dá Hospodin dážď na zem.

¹⁴for 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.`

¹⁵A išla a učinila podľa slova Eliášovho. A tak jedla ona i on i jej dom za mnoho dní.

¹⁵And she goeth, and doth according to the word of Elijah, and she eateth, she and he, and her household — days;

¹⁶Galeta múky sa neminula, ani nechýbalo z nádoby oleja, podľa slova Hospodinovho, ktoré hovoril skrze Eliáša.

¹⁶the 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.

¹⁷A stalo sa po týchto udalostiach, že onemocnel syn ženy, panej domu. A jeho nemoc bola veľmi ťažká, takže nezostalo v ňom ani dychu.

¹⁷And 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.

¹⁸A riekla Eliášovi: Čo ja mám s tebou, mužu Boží? Prišiel si ku mne nato, aby si mi pripomenul moju neprávosť a aby si usmrtil môjho syna?

¹⁸And 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!`

¹⁹Ale on jej povedal: Daj mi svojho syna. A vezmúc ho z jej lona vyniesol ho do horného príbytku, v ktorom on býval, a položil ho na svoju posteľ.

¹⁹And 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,

²⁰A volal k Hospodinovi a riekol: Hospodine, môj Bože, či aj na vdovu, u ktorej pohostínim, doložíš také zlo usmrtiac jej syna?

²⁰and 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?`

²¹A vystrel sa na dieťa tri razy a volal k Hospodinovi a riekol: Hospodine, môj Bože, prosím, nech sa navráti duša tohoto dieťaťa do jeho vnútornosti!

²¹And 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;`

²²A Hospodin vyslyšal hlas Eliášov, a duša dieťaťa sa navrátila do jeho vnútorností, a ožilo.

²²and Jehovah hearkeneth to the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the lad turneth back into his midst, and he liveth.

²³A Eliáš vezmúc dieťa sniesol ho s horného príbytku dolu do domu a dal ho jeho matke. A Eliáš riekol: Pozri, tvoj syn žije.

²³And 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!`

²⁴Na to povedala žena Eliášovi: Toto už teraz viem, že si ty muž Boží, a že slovo Hospodinovo je v tvojich ústach pravdou.

²⁴And 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.`
