17 — 3 Kings (1 Kings)

1And Elias the Thesbite, of the inhabitants of Galaad, said to Achab: As the Lord liveth, the God of Israel, in whose sight I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to the words of my mouth.Ma Elia Thesbite abitante di Galaad, disse ad Achab: Viva il Signore Dio d'Israele, di cui io son servo: non verrà né rugiada, né pioggia in questi anni, se non quand'io lo dirò.AND Elias the Thesbite of the inhabiters of Galaad said to Achab: Our Lord liueth the God of Israel, in whose sight I stand, if there shal be these yearer dew and rayne, but according to the wordes of my mouth.Et dixit Elias Thesbites de habitatoribus Galaad ad Achab: Vivit Dominus Deus Israël, in cujus conspectu sto, si erit annis his ros et pluvia, nisi juxta oris mei verba. 2And the word of the Lord came to him, saying:E il Signore parlò a lui, e gli disse:And the word of our Lord came to him, saying:Et factum est verbum Domini ad eum, dicens: 3Get thee hence, and go towards the east, and hide thyself by the torrent of Carith, which is over against the Jordan;Partiti di qua, e va verso oriente, e nasconditi presso al torrente Carith, che è dirimpetto al Giordano.Depart from hence, and goe agaynst the East, and be hidde in the Torrent carith, which is agaynst Iordan,Recede hinc, et vade contra orientem, et abscondere in torrente Carith, qui est contra Jordanem, 4And there thou shalt drink of the torrent: and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.E ivi berai al torrente, e io ho comandato ai corvi, che ti dian da mangiare.and there thou shalt drinke of the torrent: and I haue commanded the rauens that they feede thee thereet ibi de torrente bibes: corvisque præcepi ut pascant te ibi. 5So he went, and did according to the word of the Lord: and going, he dwelt by the torrent Carith, which is over against the Jordan.Egli adunque partì, ed esegui l'ordine del Signore, e andò a posarsi presso al torrente Carith, che è dirimpetto al Giordano.He therfore went, and did according to the word of our Lord: and when he was gone, he sate in the Torrent carith, which is against Iordan.Abiit ergo, et fecit juxta verbum Domini: cumque abiisset, sedit in torrente Carith, qui est contra Jordanem. 6And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the torrent.E i corvi gli portavan del pane, e delle carni la mattina, e parimente del pane, e delle carni la sera, e beveva al torrente.The rauens also brought him bread and flesh in the morning, in like maner bread and flesh in the euening, and he dranke of the torrent.Corvi quoque deferebant ei panem et carnes mane, similiter panem et carnes vesperi, et bibebat de torrente.

7But after some time the torrent was dried up: for it had not rained upon the earth.Ma di lì a qualche tempo il torrente rimase asciutto, perchè non veniva pioggia sopra la terra,But after certayne daies the torrent was dried: for it bad not rayned vpon the earth.Post dies autem siccatus est torrens: non enim pluerat super terram. 8Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying:Il Signore pertanto parlò a lui, e disseTherfore the word of our Lord came to him, saying:Factus est ergo sermo Domini ad eum, dicens: 9Arise, and go to Sarephta of the Sidonians, and dwell there: for I have commanded a widow woman there to feed thee.Parti, e va a Sarephta de' Sidonj, e ivi fa tua dimora; perocché ivi ho ordinato a una donna vedova, che ti dia da mangiare.Arise, and goe into Sareptha of the Sidonians, and thou shalt tarie there: for I haue commanded a wydow woman there to feede thee.Surge, et vade in Sarephta Sidoniorum, et manebis ibi: præcepi enim ibi mulieri viduæ ut pascat te. 10He arose, and went to Sarephta. And when he was come to the gate of the city, he saw the widow woman gathering sticks, and he called her, and said to her: Give me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.Si partì egli, e andò a Sarephta. E nell'arrivar ch'ei faceva alla porta della città, si vide dinanzi una donna vedova, che raccoglieva delle legna, e chiamolla, e le disse: Dammi un po' d'acqua in un vaso, affinchè io beva.He arose, and went into Sareptha. And when he was come to the gate of the citie, the wydow woman appeared to him gathering stickes, and he called her, and sayd to her: Geue me a litle water in a vessel, that I may drinke.Surrexit, et abiit in Sarephta. Cumque venisset ad portam civitatis, apparuit ei mulier vidua colligens ligna, et vocavit eam, dixitque ei: Da mihi paululum aquæ in vase ut bibam. 11And when she was going to fetch it, he called after her, saying: Bring me also, I beseech thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand.E mentre ella andava per portar gliene, le gridò dietro, e disse: Portami di grazia anche un tocco di pane colla tua mano.And when she went to fetch it, he cried after her saying: Bring me also, I beseche thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand,Cumque illa pergeret ut afferret, clamavit post tergum ejus, dicens: Affer mihi, obsecro, et buccellam panis in manu tua. 12And she answered: As the Lord thy God liveth, I have no bread, but only a handful of meal in a pot, and a little oil in a cruise: 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.Rispose ella: Viva il Signore Dio tuo: del pane io non ne ho, ma solo un po' di farina in una pentola, quanto può capirne in una pugnata e un pocolino d'olio in un vaso: or io raccoglieva due legna, per andare a cuocerla per me, e pel mio figliuolo, affin di mangiarla, e poi morire.Who answered: Our Lord thy God liueth, I haue no bread, but so much meale in a potte as a hand can hold, and a litle oile in a vessel: behold I gather two stickes, that I may goe in, and dresse it for me and my sonne, that we may eate, and die.Quæ respondit: Vivit Dominus Deus tuus, quia non habeo panem, nisi quantum pugillus capere potest farinæ in hydria, et paululum olei in lecytho: en colligo duo ligna ut ingrediar et faciam illum mihi et filio meo, ut comedamus, et moriamur.

13And Elias said to her: Fear not; but go, and do as thou hast said but first make for me of the same meal a little hearth cake, and bring it to me, and after make for thyself and thy son.Dissele Elia: Non temere, ma va, e fa quello, che hai detto: ma fa prima per me con quel po' di farina una stiacciata cotta sotto la cenere, e portamela, e poi ne farai per te, e pel tuo figliuolo.To whom Elias sayd: feare not, but goe, and doe as thou hast sayd: but first make for me of the same meale a litle harth cake, and bring it to me: and for thy self and thy sonne thou shalt make afterward.Ad quam Elias ait: Noli timere, sed vade, et fac sicut dixisti: verumtamen mihi primum fac de ipsa farinula subcinericium panem parvulum, et affer ad me: tibi autem et filio tuo facies postea. 14For thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: The pot of meal shall not waste, nor the cruise of oil be diminished, until the day wherein the Lord will give rain upon the face of the earth.Or il Signore Dio d'Israele dice così: La farina della pentola non verrà meno, e il vaso dell'olio non calerà sino a quel giorno, in cui il Signore manderà pioggia sopra la terra.For thus sayth our Lord the God of Israel: The potte of meale shal not fayle, nor the vessel of oile be diminished vntil the day, wherin our Lord wil geue rayne vpon the face of the earth.Hæc autem dicit Dominus Deus Israël: Hydria farinæ non deficiet, nec lecythus olei minuetur, usque ad diem in qua Dominus daturus est pluviam super faciem terræ. 15She went, and did according to the word of Elias: and he ate, and she, and her house: and from that dayE quella andò, e fece come le avea detto Elia, e mangiò egli, ed essa, e la sua gente. E da quel giorno in poiWho went and did according to the word of Elias: and he did eate, and she, and her house: and from that dayQuæ abiit, et fecit juxta verbum Eliæ: et comedit ipse, et illa, et domus ejus: et ex illa die 16The pot of meal wasted not, and the cruise of oil was not diminished according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke in the hand of Elias.La farina della pentola non venne meno, e il vaso dell'olio non calò, secondo la parola detta dal Signore per bocca di Elia.the pot of meale fayled not, and the vessel of oyle was not diminished, according to the word of our Lord, which he spake in the hand of Elias.hydria farinæ non defecit, et lecythus olei non est imminutus, juxta verbum Domini quod locutus fuerat in manu Eliæ. 17And it came to pass after this, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick, and the sickness was very grievous, so that there was no breath left in him.Or di poi egli avvenne, che si ammalò il figliuolo di questa madre di famiglia, e la malattia era gravissima, talmente che rimase senza respiro.And it came to passe after these thinges, the sonne of the woman, the goodwife of the house, fel sicke, and the sickenesse was verie vehement so that there remayned no breath in him.Factum est autem post hæc, ægrotavit filius mulieris matrisfamilias, et erat languor fortissimus, ita ut non remaneret in eo halitus.

18And she said to Elias: What have I to do with thee, thou man of God? art thou come to me, that my iniquities should be remembered, and that thou shouldst kill my son?Ella pertanto disse ad Elia: Che ho io fatto a te, o uomo di Dio? Se' tu venuto da me, per rinnovar la memoria delle mie iniquità, e per far morire il mio figliuolo?She therfore sayd to Elias: What is to me and thee thou man of God? comest thou vnto me, that myne iniquities might be remembred, and thou mightest kil my sonne?Dixit ergo ad Eliam: Quid mihi et tibi, vir Dei ? ingressus es ad me, ut rememorarentur iniquitates meæ, et interficeres filium meum ? 19And Elias said to her: Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him into the upper chamber where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.E dissele Elia: Dammi il tuo figlio: e lo prese dal sen di lei, e portollo nella camera, dov' egli albergava, e lo posò sul suo letto.And Elias sayd to her: Geue me thy sonne. And he tooke him from her bosome, and caried him into the vpper chamber where him self abode, and layd him vpon his bed.Et ait ad eam Elias: Da mihi filium tuum. Tulitque eum de sinu ejus, et portavit in cœnaculum ubi ipse manebat, et posuit super lectulum suum. 20And he cried to the Lord, and said: O Lord, my God, hast thou afflicted also the widow, with whom I am after a sort maintained, so as to kill her son?E alzò sue voci al Signore, e disse: Signore Dio mio, hai tu dunque afflitta ancor questa vedova, in casa della quale io vivo alla meglio, facendo morire il suo figliuolo?And he cried to our Lord, and sayd: O Lord my God, what, the widow also with whom I am after a sort susteyned, hast thou afflicted, that thou wouldest kil her sonne?Et clamavit ad Dominum, et dixit: Domine Deus meus, etiam ne viduam apud quam ego utcumque sustentor, afflixisti ut interficeres filium ejus ? 21And he stretched, and measured himself upon the child three times, and cried to the Lord, and said: O Lord, my God, let the soul of this child, I beseech thee, return into his body.E si distese, e si rannicchiò sopra il fanciullo per tre volte, e alzò sue voci al Signore, e disse: Signore Dio mio fa, ti prego, che l'anima del fanciullo torni nelle sue viscere.And he stretched forth, & measured him selfe vpon the childe three tymes, & he cried to our Lord, and sayd: O. Lord my God, let the soule of this childe, I beseche thee, returne into his bodie.Et expandit se, atque mensus est super puerum tribus vicibus, et clamavit ad Dominum, et ait: Domine Deus meus, revertatur, obsecro, anima pueri hujus in viscera ejus.

22And the Lord heard the voice of Elias: and the soul of the child returned into him, and he revived.E il Signore esaudì la voce di Elia, e l'anima del fanciullo tornò in lui, ed ei risuscitò.And our Lord heard the voice of Elias: and the soule of the child returned into him, and he reuiued.Et exaudivit Dominus vocem Eliæ: et reversa est anima pueri intra eum, et revixit. 23And Elias took the child, and brought him down from the upper chamber to the house below, and delivered him to his mother, and said to her: Behold thy son liveth.Ed Elia prese il fanciullo, e dalla sua camera lo trasportò al piano di terra della casa, e lo rimise a sua madre, e dissele: Eccoti vivo il tuo figliuolo.And Elias tooke the childe, and brought him downe from the vpper chamber into the lower house, and deliuered him to his mother, and sayd to her: Behold thy sonne liueth.Tulitque Elias puerum, et deposuit eum de cœnaculo in inferiorem domum, et tradidit matri suæ, et ait illi: En vivit filius tuus. 24And the woman said to Elias: Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and the word of the Lord in thy mouth is true.E la donna disse ad Elia: Or da questo conosco, che tu se' uomo di Dio, e che la vera parola di Dio è nella tua bocca.And the woman sayd to Elias: Now, in this I haue knowen that thou art a man of God, and the word of our Lord in the mouth is true.Dixitque mulier ad Eliam: Nunc in isto cognovi quoniam vir Dei es tu, et verbum Domini in ore tuo verum est.
