И$ прїиде и^лїя` прoрк# эT џезві'я галаа'дъскїя къ а^хаа'вђ, и^ рече, жи'въ г~ь б~ъ і^и^л~въ и^же преDстою` пред ни'мъ. а^ще бђдетъ в лњто с^и роса` и^л^и дождъ, то'лїи эT ё'стъ словеси` мое^го”

¹

And Eliu the prophet, the Thesbite of Thesbæ of Galaad, said to Achaab, As the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be these years dew nor rain, except by the word of my mouth.

²

И$ бы'сть гл~ъ гн~ь къ и^лїи`,

²

And the word of the Lord came to Eliu, saying,

³

и^ди` эTсю'дђ на восто'къ. и^ скры'ися в# потоцњ хора'џа пря'мо лицђ` і^ѓ^рда'новђ”

³

Depart hence eastward, and hide thee by the brook of Chorrath, that is before Jordan.

⁴

И$ бђдеши пи'ти эT пото'ка во'дђ и^ вра'номъ заповњ'дахъ препита'ти т^я тђ`”

⁴

And it shall be that thou shalt drink water of the brook, and I will charge the ravens to feed thee there.

⁵

И$ сътвори` и^лїя` по г~лђ гн~ю, и^ сњдњ при пото'цњ хора'џи пря'мо лицђ` і^ѓ^рда'новђ”

⁵

And Eliu did according to the word of the Lord, and he sat by the brook of Chorrath before Jordan.

⁶

И$ вра'нове приноша'хђ е^мђ хлњ'бы заё'тра, и^ мя'са к ве'черђ, и^ эT пото'ка пїја%ше во'дђ”

⁶

And the ravens brought him loaves in the morning, and flesh in the evening, and he drank water of the brook.

⁷

И$ бы'сть по дн~ехъ и^сше` и^с#то'чникъ. ја%ко не бњ` до'жда на' землю”

⁷

And it came to pass after some time, that the brook was dried up, because there had been no rain upon the earth.

⁸

И$ бы'сть гл~ъ гн~ь къ и^лїи` гл~я”

⁸

And the word of the Lord came to Eliu, saying,

⁹

Въста'ни і^ и^ди` въ саре'џђ сидо'ньскђю и^ пребђди та'мо. се' бо заповњдахъ т^ђ женњ` вдови'ци препита'ти т^я”

⁹

Arise, and go to Sarepta of the Sidonian land: behold, I have there commanded a widow-woman to maintain thee.

¹⁰

И$ въста'въ и%де въ саре'џђ сидо'ньскђю. и^ прїиде къ вра'томъ гра'да, и^ с^е т^ђ жена` вдови'ца събира'ющи дровца, и^ възопи` съзаd и^лїя`, и^ рече е'и. принеси` ё%бо ма'ло воды` в# сосђ'дњ и^ да пїю”

¹⁰

And he arose and went to Sarepta, and came to the gate of the city: and, behold, a widow-woman was there gathering sticks; and Eliu cried after her, and said to her, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.

¹¹

І$ и'де взяти и^ възопи` въ слњдъ е^я` и^лїя`. и^ рече прїими` ё^бо ё^крђхъ хлњба в рђцњ свое'и и^ да ја%м#”

¹¹

And she went to fetch it; and Eliu cried after her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of the bread that is in thy hand.

¹²

И рече жена`, жи'въ г~ь б~ъ мои а^ще е^сть въ сокро'вищи мое^мъ чт^о. н^ото'кмо при'горща мђки` въ водоно'сњ, и^ ма'ло ма'сла въ чва'нцњ. и^ с^е а^зъ събира'ю дв^њ полњнцы. и^ вни'дђ и^ сътворю` себњ` и^ дњтемъ свои^мъ и^ ја%ми и^ ё'мреM”

¹²

And the woman said, As the Lord thy God lives, I have not a cake, but only a handful of meal in the pitcher, and a little oil in a cruse, and, behold, I am going to gather two sticks, and I shall go in and dress it for myself and my children, and we shall eat it and die.

¹³

И$ рече к ней и^лїя`. потщи'ся вни'ди и^ сътвори` ја%коже рече. и^ сътвори' ми эTтђдђ ѓ^прњ'снокъ ма'лъ пре'жде принеси` м^и. себњ` же и^ ча'домъ своиM сътвори'ши послњжде”

¹³

And Eliu said to her, Be of good courage, go in and do according to thy word: but make me thereof a little cake, and thou shalt bring it out to me first, and thou shalt make some for thyself and thy children last.

¹⁴

ЈА/кота'ко гл~етъ г~ь б~ъ і^и^л~евъ водоно'съ мђки` не ѓ^скђдњ'етъ, и^ чва'нецъ ма'сла не ё^мали'тся. до дн~е дондеже дасть г~ь до'ждъ на' землю”

¹⁴

For thus saith the Lord, The pitcher of meal shall not fail, and the cruse of oil shall not diminish, until the day that the Lord gives rain upon the earth.

¹⁵

І$ и'де жена` и^ сътвори`, по гл~ђ и^лїи^нђ` и^ да'сть е^мђ, и^ ја^сть саM, и^ та` и^ ча'да е^я`”

¹⁵

And the woman went and did so, and did eat, she, and he, and her children.

¹⁶

И$ съсђдъ мђ'чныи не ѓ^скђдњ. и^ чва'нецъ ма'сла не ё^мали'ся по гл~ђ гн~ю и^же гл~а рђко'ю и^лїи^но'ю”

¹⁶

And the pitcher of meal failed not, and the cruse of oil was not diminished, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by the hand of Eliu.

¹⁷

Бы'сть по си'хъ и^ разболњся сн~ъ господы'ня до'мђ. и^ бо'лњзнь е^го бњ` крњ'пка ѕњ'ло, до'н#деже и^зы'иде эT него дх~ъ е^го”

¹⁷

And it came to pass afterward, that the son of the woman the mistress of the house was sick; and his sickness was very severe, until there was no breath left in him.

¹⁸

И$ реq къ и^лїи` чт^о мнњ` и^ тебњ чл~че бж~їи, вни'де къ мнњ` въспомянђти непра'вдъ моиX, и^ ё^мори'ти сн~а мое^го”

¹⁸

And she said to Eliu, What have I to do with thee, O man of God? hast thou come in to me to bring my sins to remembrance, and to slay my son?

¹⁹

И$ рече и^лїя` къ женњ`, да'ждь м^и сн~а твое^го, и^ взя'тъ е^го эT ло'на е^я` и^ възнесе` и& в го'рницђ, и^дњже са'мъ т^ђ почива'ше, и^ положи` и& на ѓ^дрњ свое'мъ”

¹⁹

And Eliu said to the woman, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and took him up to the chamber in which he himself lodged, and laid him on the bed.

²⁰

И$ възопи` и^лїя` къ г~ђ и^ рече, ё^вы' мнњ г~и свњдњтелю вдовы` ё^ неја%же нн~њ а^зъ пребыва'ю, т^ы ѓ^ѕлоби` е^же ё^мори'ти сн~а е^я`”

²⁰

And Eliu cried aloud, and said, Alas, O Lord, the witness of the widow with whom I sojourn, thou hast wrought evil for her in slaying her son.

²¹

И$ дђнђ на ѓ^тро'чище три'жды, и^ призва` г~а и^ рече, г~и бж~е мо'и да възврати'тся ё^бо дш~а ѓ^тро'чища сего во'нь

²¹

And he breathed on the child thrice, and called on the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, let, I pray thee, the soul of this child return to him.

²²

и^ бы'сть та'ко” И$ възопи` ѓ^тро'чищъ.

²²

And it was so, and the child cried out,

²³

и^ сведе` и& съ го'рницы в домђ и^ да'сть и& мт~ри е^го. и^ рече и^лїя` ви'ждъ ја^ко жи'въ е^сть сн~ъ твои”

²³

and he brought him down from the upper chamber into the house, and gave him to his mother; and Eliu said, See, thy son lives.

²⁴

И$ рече жена` къ и^лїи`, с^е а'зъ разђмњхъ ја%ко чл~къ бж~їи е^си ты`, и^ гл~ъ гн~ь въ ё^стњхъ твои^х# и%стиненъ”

²⁴

And the woman said to Eliu, Behold, I know that thou art a man of God, and the word of the Lord in thy mouth is true.
