1After many days, the word of the Lord came to Elias, in the third year, saying: Go, and shew thyself to Achab, that I may give rain upon the face of the earth.Molto tempo dopo il Signore parlò ad Elia l'anno terzo, e disselli: Va, e fatti vedere ad Achab, affinchè io faccia cadere la pioggia sopra la terra.AFTER manie daies the word of our Lord came to Elias, the third yeare, saying: Goe, and shew thy self to Achab, that I may geue rayne vpon the face of the earth.Post dies multos factum est verbum Domini ad Eliam, in anno tertio, dicens: Vade, et ostende te Achab, ut dem pluviam super faciem terræ. 2And Elias went to shew himself to Achab, and there was a grievous famine in Samaria.Andò adunque Elia a farsi vedere ad Achab. Or la fame era gagliarda in Samaria.Elias therfore went to shew himself to Achab: and there was sore famine in Samaria.Ivit ergo Elias, ut ostenderet se Achab: erat autem fames vehemens in Samaria. 3And Achab called Abdias the governor of his house: now Abdias feared the Lord very much.E Achab chiamò a se Abdia maggiordomo di sua casa. Or Abdia era molto timorato del Signore.And Achab called Abdias the gouernour of his house: Abdias did feare our Lord very much.Vocavitque Achab Abdiam dispensatorem domus suæ: Abdias autem timebat Dominum valde. 4For when Jezabel killed the prophets of the Lord, he took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty and fifty in caves, and fed them with bread and water.Imperocché quando Jezabele facea morire i profeti del Signore, prese egli cento profeti, e li nascose cinquanta in una, e cinquanta in un'altra caverna, e li sostentò con del pane, e dell'acqua.For when Iezabel killed the prophetes of our Lord, he tooke an hundred prohetes, and hid them by fiftie and fiftie in caues, and fed them with bread and water.Nam cum interficeret Jezabel prophetas Domini, tulit ille centum prophetas, et abscondit eos quinquagenos et quinquagenos in speluncis, et pavit eos pane et aqua. 5And Achab said to Abdias: Go into the land unto all fountains of waters, and into all valleys, to see if we can find grass, and save the horses and mules, that the beasts may not utterly perish.Disse adunque Achab ad Abdia: Fa un giro pel paese verso tutte le fontane, e per tutte le valli, se mai potessimo trovar dell'erba, e salvare i cavalli, e i muli, onde non periscano affatto le bestie.Achab therfore sayd to Abdias: Goe into the land to al the fountaynes of waters, and into al valleys, if perhaps we may finde grasse, and saue the horses and mules, and the beastes may not vtterly perish.Dixit ergo Achab ad Abdiam: Vade in terram ad universos fontes aquarum, et in cunctas valles, si forte possimus invenire herbam, et salvare equos et mulos, et non penitus jumenta intereant.

6And they divided the countries between them, that they might go round about them: Achab went one way, and Abdias another way by himself.E si spartirono le regioni, per farne il giro: Achab andava da una parte, e Abdia separatamente dall'altra.And they diuided the countries betwen them, that they might goe circuite about them: Achab went one way, and Abdias an other way seuerally.Diviseruntque sibi regiones ut circuirent eas: Achab ibat per viam unam, et Abdias per viam alteram seorsum. 7And as Abdias was in the way, Elias met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said: Art thou my lord Elias?E mentre era Abdia in viaggio, Elia andogli incontro; e quegli avendolo conosciuto, si prostrò boccone, gli disse: Se' tu, signor mio, Elia?And when Abdias was in the way, Elias mette him: who when he knew him, fel on his face, and sayd: My lord, art not thou Elias?Cumque esset Abdias in via, Elias occurrit ei: qui cum cognovisset eum, cecidit super faciem suam, et ait: Num tu es, domine mi, Elias ? 8And he answered: I am. Go, and tell thy master: Elias is here.E quegli rispose: Son io. Va, e di al tuo Signore: È qua Elia.To whom he answered: I am. Goe, and tel thy lord: Elias is here.Cui ille respondit: Ego. Vade, et dic domino tuo: Adest Elias. 9And he said: What have I sinned, that thou wouldst deliver me, thy servant, into the hand of Achab, that he should kill me?Ma quegli: Che male ho fatt'io, disse, che tu dia me tuo servo nelle mani di Achab, perch'ei mi uccida?And he sayd: What haue I sinned, that thou deliuerest me thy seruant into the hand of Achab, that he may kil me?Et ille: Quid peccavi, inquit, quoniam tradis me servum tuum in manu Achab, ut interficiat me ? 10As the Lord thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when all answered: He is not here: he took an oath of every kingdom and nation, because thou wast not found.Viva il Signore Dio tuo; non havvi nazione, ne regno, dove il signor mio non abbia mandato a cercarti; ed essendogli da tutti risposto: Ei non è qui: egli non trovandoti ha scongiurati i regni ad uno ad uno, e le nazioni;Our Lord thy God liueth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seeke thee: and al answering: He is not here: he adiured al kingdomes and nations, for that thou wast not found.Vivit Dominus Deus tuus, quia non est gens aut regnum quo non miserit dominus meus te requirens: et respondentibus cunctis: Non est hic: adjuravit regna singula et gentes, eo quod minime reperireris.

11And now thou sayest to me: Go and tell thy master: Elias is here.E ora tu vieni a dirmi: Va, e di al tuo Signore: È qui Elia.And now thou sayest to me: Goe, and tel thy lord, Elias is here.Et nunc tu dicis mihi: Vade, et dic domino tuo: Adest Elias. 12And when I am gone from thee, the Spirit of the Lord will carry thee into a place that I know not: and I shall go in and tell Achab; and he, not finding thee, will kill me: but thy servant feareth the Lord from his infancy.Or quand'io sarò partito da te, lo Spirito del Signore ti trasporterà in luogo ignoto a me, e fatta da me l'ambasciata, Achab non ritrovandoti mi ucciderà: or il tuo servo teme il Signore fin dall'infanzia.And when I am departed from thee, the Spirit of our Lord wil carie thee into a place, that I know not: and I entering in shal tel Achab, and not finding thee, he wil kil me: and thy seruant feareth our Lord from his infancie.Cumque recessero a te, spiritus Domini asportabit te in locum quem ego ignoro: et ingressus nuntiabo Achab, et non inveniens te, interficiet me: servus autem tuus timet Dominum ab infantia sua. 13Hath it not been told thee, my lord, what I did when Jezabel killed the prophets of the Lord; how I hid a hundred men of the prophets of the Lord, by fifty and fifty in caves, and fed them with bread and water?Non è egli stato ridetto a te, signor mio, quel, ch'io feci allorché Jezabele uccideva i profeti del Signore, com'io ascosi cento profeti del Signore, cinquanta in una caverna, e cinquanta in un'altra, e li sostentai con del pane, e dell'acqua?Hath it not beene told thee my lord, what I did when Iezabel killed the prophetes of our Lord, that I hid of the prophetes of our Lord an hundred men, by fiftie and fiftie in caues, and fed them with bread and water?Numquid non indicatum est tibi domino meo quid fecerim cum interficeret Jezabel prophetas Domini, quod absconderim de prophetis Domini centum viros, quinquagenos et quinquagenos, in speluncis, et paverim eos pane et aqua ? 14And now thou sayest: Go and tell thy master: Elias is here: that he may kill me.E ora tu dici: Va a dire al tuo signore: Elia è qui: affinchè egli mi uccida.And now thou sayst: Goe, and tel thy lord: Elias is here: that he may kil me?et nunc tu dicis: Vade, et dic domino tuo: Adest Elias: ut interficiat me ? 15And Elias said: As the Lord of hosts liveth, before whose face I stand, this day I will shew myself unto him.Ma Elia disse: Viva il Signore degli eserciti, di cui io son servo: oggi io mi farò vedere a lui.And Elias sayd: The Lord of hostes liueth, before whose face I stand, this day wil I appeare to him.Et dixit Elias: Vivit Dominus exercituum, ante cujus vultum sto, quia hodie apparebo ei.

16Abdias therefore went to meet Achab, and told him: and Achab came to meet Elias.Andò pertanto Abdia a trovar Achab, e fecegli l'imbasciata: e Achab andò incontro ad Elia.Abdias therfore went to meete Achab, and told him: and Achab came to meete Elias.Abiit ergo Abdias in occursum Achab, et indicavit ei: venitque Achab in occursum Eliæ. 17And when he had seen him, he said: Art thou he that troublest Israel?E avendolo veduto, disse: Non se' tu colui, che mette sossopra Israele?And when he had seene him, he sayd: Art thou he that doest truble Israel?Et cum vidisset eum, ait: Tune es ille, qui conturbas Israël ? 18And he said: I have not troubled Israel, but thou and thy father’s house, who have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and have followed Baalim.E quegli rispose: Non io ho messo sossopra Israele, ma tu, e la casa del padre tuo, perchè avete negletti i comandamenti del Signore, e siete andati dietro a Baal.And he sayd: not I haue trubled Israel, but thou, and the house of thy father, who haue forsaken the commandmentes of our Lord, and haue folowed Baalim.Et ille ait: Non ego turbavi Israël, sed tu, et domus patris tui, qui dereliquistis mandata Domini, et secuti estis Baalim. 19Nevertheless send now, and gather unto me all Israel, unto Mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, who eat at Jezabel’s table.Contuttociò manda adesso a far raunare tutto Israele dinanzi a me sul monte del Carmelo, e i quattrocento cinquanta profeti di Baal, e i quattro cento profeti dei boschetti, i quali sono pasciuti da Jezabele.Neuerthelesse send now, and gather vnto me al Israel in the mount of Carmel, and the prophetes of Baal foure hundred fiftie, and the prophetes of the groues foure hundred, which eate of Iezabels table.Verumtamen nunc mitte, et congrega ad me universum Israël in monte Carmeli, et prophetas Baal quadringentos quinquaginta, prophetasque lucorum quadringentos, qui comedunt de mensa Jezabel. 20Achab sent to all the children of Israel, and gathered together the prophets unto mount Carmel.Mandò Achab a chiamare tutti i figliuoli d'Israele, e raunò i profeti sul monte del Carmelo.Achab sent to al the children of Israel, and gathered together the prophetes in the mount of Carmel.Misit Achab ad omnes filios Israël, et congregavit prophetas in monte Carmeli. 21And Elias coming to all the people, said: How long do you halt between two sides? If the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people did not answer him a word.Ed Elia appressatosi a tutto il popolo, disse: Fino a quando zoppicate voi da due lati? Se il Signore è Dio, tenete da lui: se poi lo è Baal, seguite lui. Ma il popolo non gli rispose parola.And Elias coming to al the people, sayd: How long halt you on two sides? If our Lord be God, folow him: but if Baal, folow him. And the people did not answer him a word.Accedens autem Elias ad omnem populum, ait: Usquequo claudicatis in duas partes ? si Dominus est Deus, sequimini eum: si autem Baal, sequimini illum. Et non respondit ei populus verbum.

22And Elias said again to the people: I only remain a prophet of the Lord: but the prophets of Baal are four hundred and fifty men.E di nuovo disse Elia al popolo: Son rimaso io solo de' profeti del Signore: e i profeti di Baal sono quattro cento cinquanta uomini.And Elias sayd agayne to the people: I onlie remayne a prophete of our Lord: and the prophetes of Baal are foure hundred and fiftie men.Et ait rursus Elias ad populum: Ego remansi propheta Domini solus: prophetæ autem Baal quadringenti et quinquaginta viri sunt. 23Let two bullocks be given us, and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it upon wood, but put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under it.Siano dati a noi due bovi, e quelli scelgano un bue per loro, e fattolo in pezzi lo mettano sopra la legna, ma senza appiccarvi il fuoco: e io sagrificherò altro bue, e porrollo sopra le legna, ma non vi appiccherò il fuoco.Let two oxen be geuen vs, and let them choose to them selues one oxe, and cutting it into peeces let them lay it vpon wood, but put no fyre vnder: and I wil dresse the other oxe, and wil lay it vpon wood, and put no fire vnder.Dentur nobis duo boves, et illi eligant sibi bovem unum, et in frustra cædentes ponant super ligna, ignem autem non supponant: et ego faciam bovem alterum, et imponam super ligna, ignem autem non supponam. 24Call ye on the names of your gods, and I will call on the name of my Lord: and the God that shall answer by fire, let him be God. And all the people answering, said: A very good proposal.Invocate voi i nomi de' vostri dei, e io invocherò il nome del Signor mio? e quel Dio, che esaudirà mandando il fuoco, egli sia Dio. E tutto il popolo rispose, e disse: Ottima proposizione.Inuocate ye the names of your goddes, & I wil inuocate the name of my Lord: and the God that shal heare by fyre, let the same be God. And al the people answering sayd: A very good proposition.Invocate nomina deorum vestrorum, et ego invocabo nomen Domini mei: et Deus qui exaudierit per ignem, ipse sit Deus. Respondens omnis populus ait: Optima propositio. 25Then Elias said to the prophets of Baal: Choose you one bullock and dress it first, because you are many: and call on the names of your gods; but put no fire under.Disse adunque Elia ai profeti di Baal: Sceglietevi il bue, e fate voi i primi, perchè voi siete in maggior numero; e invocate i nomi de' vostri dei, senza appiccare il fuoco.Elias therfore sayd to the prophetes of Baal: Choose you one oxe, and make it first, because you are manie: & inuocate the names of your goddes, and put no fire vnder.Dixit ergo Elias prophetis Baal: Eligite vobis bovem unum, et facite primi, quia vos plures estis: et invocate nomina deorum vestrorum, ignemque non supponatis.

26And they took the bullock, which he gave them, and dressed it: and they called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying: O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered: and they leaped over the altar that they had made.E quelli, preso il bue, che egli avea dato loro, lo immolarono, e invocavano il nome di Baal dalla mattina sino al mezzodì, dicendo: Baal ascoltaci. E non si sentiva alito, né chi rispondesse: e saltavan di là dall'altare, che avean fatto.Who when they had taken the oxe, which he gaue them, they dressed it: and they inuocated the name of Baal from morning vntil midday, saying: Baal heare vs. And there was no voice, nor any that answered: and they leaped ouer the altar, that they had made.Qui cum tulissent bovem quem dederat eis, fecerunt: et invocabant nomen Baal de mane usque ad meridiem, dicentes: Baal, exaudi nos. Et non erat vox, nec qui responderet: transiliebantque altare quod fecerant. 27And when it was now noon, Elias jested at them, saying: Cry with a louder voice: for he is a god; and perhaps he is talking, or is in an inn, or on a journey; or perhaps he is asleep, and must be awaked.Ed essendo già mezzodì, Elia si burlava di loro, dicendo: Gridate con voce più sonora: perocché egli è un dio, e forse è in qualche ragionamento, od è all'osteria, o per viaggio, o almeno dorme, fatelo svegliare.And when it was now midday. Elias iested at them, saying: Crie with a lowder voice: for he is God, and perhaps he speaketh, or is in his inne, or in the way, or at the least he slepeth, that he must be waked.Cumque esset jam meridies, illudebat illis Elias, dicens: Clamate voce majore: deus enim est, et forsitan loquitur, aut in diversorio est, aut in itinere, aut certe dormit, ut excitetur. 28So they cried with a loud voice, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till they were all covered with blood.Eglino adunque gridavano ad alta voce, e si facevano delle incisioni secondo il rito loro con coltelli, e lancette sino a bagnarsi tutti di sangue.They cried therfore with a lowd voice, and cut them selues after their rite with kniues and lancers, til they were al embrewed with bloud.Clamabant ergo voce magna, et incidebant se juxta ritum suum cultris et lanceolis, donec perfunderentur sanguine. 29And after midday was past, and while they were prophesying, the time was come of offering sacrifice, and there was no voice heard, nor did any one answer, nor regard them as they prayed.Ma passato che fu il mezzodì, mentre quelli profetavano, e venuto il tempo, in cui suole offerirsi il sagrifizio, senza che si sentisse nissuna voce, né anima che rispondesse, o desse retta a quei, che predavano,And after the midday was past, and whiles they prophecied, the time was come, when they vsed to offer sacrifice, neither voice was heard, nor any did answer, nor attend them praying:Postquam autem transiit meridies, et illis prophetantibus venerat tempus quo sacrificium offerri solet, nec audiebatur vox, nec aliquis respondebat, nec attendebat orantes,

30Elias said to all the people: Come ye unto me. And the people coming near unto him, he repaired the altar of the Lord, that was broken down:Disse Elia a tutto il popolo: Accostatevi a me. E appressato che fu a lui il popolo, egli ristaurò l'altare del Signore, che era stato rovesciato.Elias sayd to al the people: Come vnto me. And the people coming to him, he repayred the altar of our Lord, that was destroyed.dixit Elias omni populo: Venite ad me. Et accedente ad se populo, curavit altare Domini quod destructum fuerat. 31And he took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob to whom the word of the Lord came, saying: Israel shall be thy name.E prese dodici pietre secondo il numero delle tribù de' figliuoli di Giacobbe, a cui il Signore parlò, e disse: Il nome tuo sarà Israele.And he tooke twelue stones according to the number of the tribes of the children of Iacob, to whom the word of our Lord came, saying: Israel shal be thy name.Et tulit duodecim lapides juxta numerum tribuum filiorum Jacob, ad quem factus est sermo Domini, dicens: Israël erit nomen tuum. 32And he built with the stones an altar to the name of the Lord: and he made a trench for water, of the breadth of two furrows, round about the altar.E con quelle pietre edificò l'altare nel nome del Signore, e vi fece una fossa come due piccoli solchi attorno all'altare,And he built of the stones an altar in the name of our Lord: and he made a water gutter, as it were by two furrowes round about the altar,Et ædificavit de lapidibus altare in nomine Domini: fecitque aquæductum, quasi per duas aratiunculas in circuitu altaris, 33And he laid the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it upon the wood.E aggiustovvi le legna, è spezzò il bue membro per membro, e lo pose sopra le legna,and he layed the wood in order, and diuided the oxe in iointes, and layd it vpon the wood,et composuit ligna: divisitque per membra bovem, et posuit super ligna, 34And he said: Fill four buckets with water, and pour it upon the burnt offering, and upon the wood. And again he said: Do the same the second time. And when they had done it the second time, he said: Do the same also the third time. And they did so the third time.E disse: Empiete quattro idrie d'acqua, e gettatela sopra l'olocausto, e sopra le legna: e di nuovo disse: Fatelo anche un'altra volta. E avendo quelli ciò fatto per due volte, disse: Fate lo stesso ancora per la terza volta: e lo fecero per la terza volta:and said: Fil foure buckettes with water, and powre vpon the holocauste, and vpon the wood. And againe he sayd: Doe it also the second time. Who hauing donne it the second time, he said: The third time also doe the same. And they did so the third time,et ait: Implete quatuor hydrias aqua, et fundite super holocaustum et super ligna. Rursumque dixit: Etiam secundo hoc facite. Qui cum fecissent secundo, ait: Etiam tertio idipsum facite. Feceruntque tertio,

35And the water run round about the altar, and the trench was filled with water.E correva l'acqua attorno all'altare, e la fossa restò piena.and the warers ranne about the altar, and the trough of the conduite was filled.et currebant aquæ circum altare, et fossa aquæductus repleta est. 36And when it was now time to offer the holocaust, Elias, the prophet, came near and said: O Lord God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Israel, shew this day that thou art the God of Israel, and I thy servant, and that according to thy commandment I have done all these things.Ed essendo già tempo di offerir l'olocausto, si appressò il profeta Elia, e disse: Signore Dio d'Abramo, e d'Isacco, e d'Israele, fa oggi conoscere, come tu se' il Dio d'Israele, e io son tuo servo, e tutte queste cose ho fatte per ordine tuo.And when it was now time that the holocauste should be offered, Elias the prophete coming said: Lord God of Abraham, and Isaac, & Israel, shew this day that thou art the God of Israel, and I thy seruant, & that according to thy commandment I haue done al these thinges.Cumque jam tempus esset ut offerretur holocaustum, accedens Elias propheta ait: Domine Deus Abraham, et Isaac, et Israël, ostende hodie quia tu es Deus Israël, et ego servus tuus, et juxta præceptum tuum feci omnia verba hæc. 37Hear me, O Lord, hear me: that this people may learn that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart again.Esaudiscimi, o Signore, esaudiscimi; affinchè questo popolo impari, che tu se' il Signore Dio, e tu hai convertiti di bel nuovo i loro cuori.Heare me Lord, heare me: that this people may learne, that thou art our Lord God, & thou hast conuerted their hart againe.Exaudi me, Domine, exaudi me: ut discat populus iste quia tu es Dominus Deus, et tu convertisti cor eorum iterum. 38Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the holocaust, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.E scese il fuoco del Signore, e divorò l'olocausto, e le legna, e le pietre, e la polvere ancora, e bevve l'acqua, che era nella fossa.And the fire of our Lord fel, & deuoured the holocauste, & the wood, and the stones, licking also the dust, and the water, that was in the water gutter.Cecidit autem ignis Domini, et voravit holocaustum, et ligna, et lapides, pulverem quoque, et aquam quæ erat in aquæductu lambens. 39And when all the people saw this, they fell on their faces, and they said: The Lord, he is God; the Lord, he is God.La qual cosa avendo veduta tutto il popolo, si prostrò boccone, e disse: Il Signore egli e Dio, il Signore egli è Dio.Which when al the people had seene, they fel on their face, and said: Our Lord he is God, our Lord he is God.Quod cum vidisset omnis populus, cecidit in faciem suam, et ait: Dominus ipse est Deus, Dominus ipse est Deus.

40And Elias said to them: Take the prophets of Baal, and let not one of them escape. And when they had taken them, Elias brought them down to the torrent Cison, and killed them there.Ed Elia disse loro: Mettete le mani addosso ai profeti di Baal, e nemmen uno di essi abbia scampo. E presi che furono, Elia li condusse al torrente di Cison, e ivi li fece morire.And Elias said to them: Apprehend the prophetes of Baal, and let not one escape of them. Whom when they had taken, Elias brought them to the Torrent cison, and killed them there.Dixitque Elias ad eos: Apprehendite prophetas Baal, et ne unus quidem effugiat ex eis. Quos cum apprehendissent, duxit eos Elias ad torrentem Cison, et interfecit eos ibi. 41And Elias said to Achab: Go up, eat and drink: for there is a sound of abundance of rain.Ed Elia disse ad Achab: Va, mangia, e bevi; perocché fischia il rumor di gran pioggia.And Elias sayd to Achab: Goe vp, eate, and drinke: because there is sound of much raine.Et ait Elias ad Achab: Ascende, comede, et bibe, quia sonus multæ pluviæ est. 42Achab went up to eat and drink: and Elias went up to the top of Carmel, and casting himself down upon the earth, put his face between his knees,Achab pertanto andò a mangiare, e bere: ed Elia salì sulla cima del Carmelo, e inginocchiatosi pose la sua faccia tralle sue ginocchia.Achab went vp to eate and drinke: and Elias went vp into the toppe of Carmel, and flatte on the earth put his face betwen his knees,Ascendit Achab ut comederet et biberet: Elias autem ascendit in verticem Carmeli, et pronus in terram posuit faciem suam inter genua sua, 43And he said to his servant: Go up, and look towards the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said: There is nothing. And again he said to him: Return seven times.E disse al suo servo: Va, e guarda dalla parte del mare. E quegli essendo andato, e avendo osservato, disse: Non vi è nulla. E quegli di nuovo gli disse: Tornavi fino a sette volte.and he said to his seruant: Goe vp, and looke toward the sea. Who when he was gone vp, and had looked, he said: There is nothing. And againe he said to him: Returne seuen tymes.et dixit ad puerum suum: Ascende, et prospice contra mare. Qui cum ascendisset, et contemplatus esset, ait: Non est quidquam. Et rursum ait illi: Revertere septem vicibus. 44And at the seventh time: Behold a little cloud arose out of the sea like a man’s foot. And he said: Go up, and say to Achab: Prepare thy chariot, and go down, lest the rain prevent thee.E la settima volta comparve una piccola nuvoletta come un piede di uomo, che saliva dal mare. Ed (Elia) disselli: Va, e dì ad Achab: Attacca i cavalli al tuo cocchio, e vattene, affin chè non sii sorpreso dalla pioggiaAnd in the seuenth time: Behold a litle cloud as it were a mans foote, came vp from the sea. Who said: Goe vp and say to Achab: Yoke thy chariote and goe downe, lest the raine preuent thee.In septima autem vice, ecce nubecula parva quasi vestigium hominis ascendebat de mari. Qui ait: Ascende, et dic Achab: Junge currum tuum et descende, ne occupet te pluvia.

45And while he turned himself this way and that way, behold the heavens grew dark, with clouds and wind, and there fell a great rain. And Achab getting up, went away to Jezrahel:E mentre quegli si volgeva da un lato all'altro, ecco, che subitamente si oscurarono i cieli, e cadde una gran pioggia; e Achab salito (sul cocchio) se v'andò a Jezrael.And when he turned him felfe hither and thither, behold the heauens were darkened, and cloudes, and winde, and there fel great raine. Achab therfore going vp went into Iezrahel:Cumque se verteret huc atque illuc, ecce cæli contenebrati sunt, et nubes, et ventus, et facta est pluvia grandis. Ascendens itaque Achab, abiit in Jezrahel: 46And the hand of the Lord was upon Elias, and he girded up his loins, and ran before Achab, till he came to Jezrahel.E la mano del Signore fu sopra Elia, il quale cintosi i fianchi correva innanzi ad Achab, fino che arrivò a Jezrael.and the hand of our Lord was made vpon Elias, and his loynes girded he ranne before Achab, vntil he came into Iezrahel.et manus Domini facta est super Eliam, accinctisque lumbis currebat ante Achab, donec veniret in Jezrahel.
