1 Reyes 17
Septante en francais
1Or, Elie le prophète thesbite, de Thesba en Galaad, dit à Achab : Vive le Seigneur, Dieu des armées, Dieu d'Israël, devant qui je suis, il n'y aura en ces années ni rosée ni pluie, sinon à ma voix.
2Et la parole du Seigneur vint à Élie, disant :
3Va-t'en d'ici du côté de l'orient, et cache-toi dans le torrent de Chorrath, en face du Jourdain.
4Tu boiras de l'eau du torrent, et j'ordonnerai aux corbeaux de te nourrir en ce lieu.
5Et Elie fit selon la parole du Seigneur ; il s'établit dans le torrent de Chorrath, en face du Jourdain.
6Et les corbeaux lui apportèrent des pains à l'aurore, et des chairs le soir ; et il but de l'eau du torrent.
7Quelque temps après le torrent se tarit, car il n'y eut point de pluie sur la terre.
8Et la parole du Seigneur vint à Elie, disant :
9Lève-toi et va-t'en à Sarepta chez les Sidoniens ; là, j'ai prescrit à une femme veuve de te nourrir.
10Et il se leva, et il partit pour Sarepta ; arrivé devant les portes de la ville, il y vit une femme veuve qui ramassait du bois. Et Elie cria après elle, et il lui dit : Prends un peu d'eau dans une cruche, et je boirai.
11Elle en alla prendre ; puis, le prophète cria après elle, et il lui dit : Apporte-moi un morceau du pain que tu as en ta maison.
12Mais la femme répondit : Vive le Seigneur ton Dieu ! je n'ai pas un seul pain cuit, je n'ai qu'un peu de farine dans la maie et quelques gouttes d'huile dans la fiole ; je vais ramasser deux petits morceaux de bois ; puis, je rentrerai, et je pétrirai pour moi et mes enfants ; nous mangerons, et après nous mourrons.
13Elie répliqua : Rassure-toi ; rentre et fais ce que tu viens de dire ; fais de plus pour moi un petit pain ; tu me l'apporteras d'abord, tu en feras ensuite pour toi et pour tes enfants.
14Car voici ce que dit le Seigneur : La maie ne manquera plus de farine, et l'huile ne baissera plus dans la fiole, jusqu'au jour où le Seigneur donnera de la pluie à la terre.
15Et la femme s'en alla ; elle pétrit, elle mangea ; et le prophète et ses enfants mangèrent.
16Et la maie ne manqua plus de farine, et l'huile ne baissa pas dans la fiole, selon la parole que le Seigneur avait dite par la voix d'Elie.
17Après cela, le fils de la femme maîtresse de la maison tomba malade, et sa maladie fut très violente ; enfin le souffle de la vie se retira de lui.
18Et la femme dit à Elie : Qu'y a-t-il entre moi et toi, homme de Dieu ? Es-tu venu chez moi pour rappeler le souvenir de mes péchés, et pour faire mourir mon fils ?
19Et le prophète répondit à la femme : Donne-moi ton fils. Et il le prit de son sein ; et il le porta dans la chambre où il demeurait, et il l'étendit sur sa couche.
20Là, il cria et il dit : Malheur à moi, Seigneur ! je vous prends à témoin en faveur de cette veuve chez qui j'habite ; vous l'avez affligée en faisant mourir son fils.
21Ensuite, il souffla trois fois sur l'enfant, il invoqua le Seigneur, et il dit : Seigneur mon Dieu, que l'âme de cet enfant revienne en lui.
22Et il en fut ainsi. L'enfant jeta un grand cri ;
23Et Elie descendit de sa chambre dans la maison, et il le rendit à sa mère ; et il lui dit : Regarde, ton enfant est en vie.
24Et la femme dit à Elie : Je reconnais que tu es un homme de Dieu ; la parole de Dieu dans ta bouche est véritable.
Reina-Valera 1909
1ENTONCES Elías Thisbita, que era de los moradores de Galaad, dijo á Achâb: Vive Jehová Dios de Israel, delante del cual estoy, que no habrá lluvia ni rocío en estos años, sino por mi palabra.
2Y fué á él palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
3Apártate de aquí, y vuélvete al oriente, y escóndete en el arroyo de Cherith, que está delante del Jordán;
4Y beberás del arroyo; y yo he mandado á los cuervos que te den allí de comer.
5Y él fué, é hizo conforme á la palabra de Jehová; pues se fué y asentó junto al arroyo de Cherith, que está antes del Jordán.
6Y los cuervos le traían pan y carne por la mañana, y pan y carne á la tarde; y bebía del arroyo.
7Pasados algunos días, secóse el arroyo; porque no había llovido sobre la tierra.
8Y fué á él palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
9Levántate, vete á Sarepta de Sidón, y allí morarás: he aquí yo he mandado allí á una mujer viuda que te sustente.
10Entonces él se levantó, y se fué á Sarepta. Y como llegó á la puerta de la ciudad, he aquí una mujer viuda que estaba allí cogiendo serojas; y él la llamó, y díjole: Ruégote que me traigas una poca de agua en un vaso, para que beba.
11Y yendo ella para traérsela, él la volvió á llamar, y díjole: Ruégote que me traigas también un bocado de pan en tu mano.
12Y ella respondió: Vive Jehová Dios tuyo, que no tengo pan cocido; que solamente un puñado de harina tengo en la tinaja, y un poco de aceite en una botija: y ahora cogía dos serojas, para entrarme y aderezarlo para mí y para mi hijo, y que lo comamos, y nos muramos.
13Y Elías le dijo: No hayas temor; ve, haz como has dicho: empero hazme á mí primero de ello una pequeña torta cocida debajo de la ceniza, y tráemela; y después harás para ti y para tu hijo.
14Porque Jehová Dios de Israel ha dicho así: La tinaja de la harina no escaseará, ni se disminuirá la botija del aceite, hasta aquel día que Jehová dará lluvia sobre la haz de la tierra.
15Entonces ella fué, é hizo como le dijo Elías; y comió él, y ella y su casa, muchos días.
16Y la tinaja de la harina no escaseó, ni menguó la botija del aceite, conforme á la palabra de Jehová que había dicho por Elías.
17Después de estas cosas aconteció que cayó enfermo el hijo del ama de la casa, y la enfermedad fué tan grave, que no quedó en él resuello.
18Y ella dijo á Elías: ¿Qué tengo yo contigo, varón de Dios? ¿has venido á mí para traer en memoria mis iniquidades, y para hacerme morir mi hijo?
19Y él le dijo: Dame acá tu hijo. Entonces él lo tomó de su regazo, y llevólo á la cámara donde él estaba, y púsole sobre su cama;
20Y clamando á Jehová, dijo: Jehová Dios mío, ¿aun á la viuda en cuya casa yo estoy hospedado has afligido, matándole su hijo?
21Y midióse sobre el niño tres veces, y clamó á Jehová, y dijo: Jehová Dios mío, ruégote que vuelva el alma de este niño á sus entrañas.
22Y Jehová oyó la voz de Elías, y el alma del niño volvió á sus entrañas, y revivió.
23Tomando luego Elías al niño, trájolo de la cámara á la casa, y diólo á su madre, y díjole Elías: Mira, tu hijo vive.
24Entonces la mujer dijo á Elías: Ahora conozco que tú eres varón de Dios, y que la palabra de Jehová es verdad en tu boca.
King James Version
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.
2And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
3Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
4And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
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.
6And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.
7And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
8And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
9Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
15And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
22And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
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.
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.

1Elijah the Tishbite, who was one of the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.”
2Then the LORD’s word came to him, saying,
3“Go away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.
4You shall drink from the brook. I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
5So he went and did according to the LORD’s word, for he went and lived by the brook Cherith that is before the Jordan.
6The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook.
7After a while, the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
8The LORD’s word came to him, saying,
9“Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.”
10So he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and said, “Please get me a little water in a jar, that I may drink.”
11As she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.”
12She said, “As the LORD your God lives, I don’t have anything baked, but only a handful of meal in a jar and a little oil in a jar. Behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and bake it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.”
13Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go and do as you have said; but make me a little cake from it first, and bring it out to me, and afterward make some for you and for your son.
14For the LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘The jar of meal will not run out, and the jar of oil will not fail, until the day that the LORD sends rain on the earth.’”
15She went and did according to the saying of Elijah; and she, he, and her household ate many days.
16The jar of meal didn’t run out and the jar of oil didn’t fail, according to the LORD’s word, which he spoke by Elijah.
17After these things, the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became sick; and his sickness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.
18She said to Elijah, “What have I to do with you, you man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to memory, and to kill my son!”
19He said to her, “Give me your son.” He took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the room where he stayed, and laid him on his own bed.
20He cried to the LORD and said, “LORD my God, have you also brought evil on the widow with whom I am staying, by killing her son?”
21He stretched himself on the child three times, and cried to the LORD and said, “LORD my God, please let this child’s soul come into him again.”
22The LORD listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
23Elijah took the child and brought him down out of the room into the house, and delivered him to his mother; and Elijah said, “Behold, your son lives.”
24The woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the LORD’s word in your mouth is truth.”
