¹

And one of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried to Elisaie, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant feared the Lord: and the creditor is come to take my two sons to be his servants.

¹

И$ жена` б^њ е^ді'на эT сн~овъ пророчъ. и^ возопи` къ і^е^лисе'е^ви гл~юще. ра'бъ тво'и, а^ мо'и мђжъ ё%мре, а^ т^ы вњ'си ја%ко ра'бъ б^њ боя'ся г~а. и^ зае'мникъ нњ'кїи прїиде. взя'ти сн~а моя` ѓ%ба се бњ` в рабо'тђ”

²

And Elisaie said, What shall I do for thee? tell me what thou hast in the house. And she said, Thy servant has nothing in the house, except oil wherewith I anoint myself.

²

И$ рече е'й і^е^лисе'и чт^о да сътворю т^и повQњ м^и. чт^о и'маши нн~њ в до'мђ. ѓ^наy рече нњ'сть ё^ рабы` твое'я ничто'же в домђ`. н^ото'кмо ма'ло і^е^ле'я в# сосђдњ,

³

And he said to her, Go, borrow for thyself vessels without of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.

³

и^ реq к не'и прїиди. і^ и^спроси` себњ` внњ` эT всњхъ сђсњ'дъ твои^хъ сосђды пра'зны и^ не ё^ма'ли”

⁴

And thou shalt go in and shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and thou shalt pour forth into these vessels, and remove that which is filled.

⁴

И$ вшеDши затво'риши две'рњ ѓ^ себњ, и^ ѓ^ сн~ђ твое'ю и^ влње'ши эT і^е^ле'я твое^го во вся` сосђ'ды сїя и^ наполне'ное во'змеши”

⁵

And she departed from him, and shut the door upon herself and upon her sons: they brought the vessels near to her, and she poured in until the vessels were filled.

⁵

І$ и^де` эT него` и^ сътвори та'ко. и^ затвори` ѓ^ себњ` две'ри и^ ѓ^ сн~ђ свое'ю. и^ т^а приближи'шася к не'и и^ лњя'ста с не'ю”

⁶

And she said to her sons, Bring me yet a vessel. And they said to her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.

⁶

И$ е^гдаy и^сполни'шася вс^я сосђ'ды. и^ рече сн~ома свои'ма, приближи'та м^и е^ще` сосђ'дъ. и^ рњста е'й, нњ'сть е^ще` сосђ'да, и^ ста` і^е^ле'и”

⁷

And she came and told the man of God: and Elisaie said, Go, and sell the oil, and thou shalt pay thy debts, and thou and thy sons shall live of the remaining oil.

⁷

И$ прешеD възвњсти чл~кђ бж~їю. и^ рече і^е^лисе'и и^ди` и^ прода'ждь сїи і^е^ле'и. и^ заплати` лише'вникомъ своиM. и^ т^ы и^ сн~а твоа` жи'ва бђ'дета эT ѓ^ста'вшаго і^е^ле'я”

⁸

And a day came, when Elisaie passed over to Soman, and there was a great lady there, and she constrained him to eat bread: and it came to pass as often as he went into the city, that he turned aside to eat there.

⁸

И$ бы'сть въ е^ді'нъ дн~ь и^ ми'мои^де` і^е^лисе'и въ сома'нъ. и^ т^ђ жена` ве'лїя, и^ ё^дръжа и& снњсти хлњбъ, и^ бы'сть е^мђ въходи'ти. і^ и^схо'дити множи'цею и^ ё^клоня'шеся та'мо ја%сти хлbњ.

⁹

And the woman said to her husband, See now, I know that this is a holy man of God who comes over continually to us.

⁹

И$ рече жена` к# мђж'ђ свое^мђ. с^е ё'бо разђмњхъ ја%ко чл~къ бж~їи ст~ъ се'й. и^же ми'мохо'диT скво'ѕњ н^ы при'сно”

¹⁰

Let us now make for him an upper chamber, a small place; and let us put there for him a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall come to pass that when he comes in to us, he shall turn in thither.

¹⁰

И$ сътвориM ё^бо е^мђ пола'тђ мњ'сто ма'ло. и^ поста'вимъ е^мђ ѓ%дръ и^ трапе'зђ, и^ прsтлъ и^ свњщни'къ. и^ бђдеT внегда` в#ходи'ти е^мђ к на'мъ и^ ё^клони'тся та'мо”

¹¹

And a day came, and he went in thither, and turned aside into the upper chamber, and lay there.

¹¹

И$ бы'сть во е^ді'нъ дн~ь и^ вни'де т^ђ, и^ ё^клони'ся въ го'ръницђ и^ спа` т^ђ”

¹²

And he said to Giezi his servant, Call me this Somanite. And he called her, and she stood before him.

¹²

И$ рече къ гиѓ^зїю ѓ^тро'чищђ свое^мђ. призови м^и сђмантяны'ню сїю. и^ призва ю&, и^ ста` преD нимъ”

¹³

And he said to him, Say now to her, Behold, thou hast taken all this trouble for us; what should I do for thee? Hast thou any request to make to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she said, I dwell in the midst of my people.

¹³

И$ рече е^мђ р#цы ё^бо е'й. с^е ё^диви'ла е^си наM вс^е дн~евное сі'е. чт^о подоба'етъ м^и твори'ти т^и. а%ще е^сть т^и сло'во къ цр~ю, и^ли къ кня'ѕю си'лњ. ѓ^на' же рече нњ'сть. посредњ людїи своиX аZ е^смь живђщ'и”

¹⁴

And he said to Giezi, What must we do for her? and Giezi his servant said, Indeed she has no son, and her husband is old.

¹⁴

И$ рече къ гиѓ^зїю чт^о подоба'етъ сътвори'ти е'й. и^ реq гиѓ^зїи ѓ%трочище е^го ѕњло сн~а нњсть ё^ неи`. а^ мQђ ея` ста'ръ”

¹⁵

And he called her, and she stood by the door.

¹⁵

И$ реq призови ю&. и^ призва ю& и^ ста` при две'рехъ”

¹⁶

And Elisaie said to her, At this time next year, as the season is, thou shalt be alive, and embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, do not lie to thy servant.

¹⁶

И$ рече і^е^лисе'и к не'и. во время с^е и^ въ ча'съ сїи бђ'деши л^и жи'ва. т^ы зачне'ши сн~а ѓ^наy рече н^и г~и не солъжи` рабњ` свое'й”

¹⁷

And the woman conceived, and bore a son at the very time, as the season was, being alive, as Elisaie said to her.

¹⁷

И$ зача'тъ въ чре'вњ жена` сн~ъ и^ роди` во вре'мя с^е и^ въ ча'съ сі'и, ја^коже гл~а к не'и і^е^лисе'и”

¹⁸

And the child grew: and it came to pass when he went out to his father to the reapers,

¹⁸

И$ растя'ше ѓ^тро'чиu. и^ бы'сть е^гда` и^зы'иде ѓ%троk къ эTц~ю свое^мђ къ жнђщиM”

¹⁹

that he said to his father, My head, my head. And his father said to a servant, Carry him to his mother.

¹⁹

И$ рече къ эTц~ю свое'мђ глава` м^и боли'тъ. и^ рече къ ѓ%трокђ неси` и& к# ма'тери е^го

²⁰

And he carried him to his mother, and he lay upon her knees till noon, and died.

²⁰

и^ несе` и& къ ма'тери е^го. и^ лежа'ше на колњ'нђ е^я` до полђ' дн~и и^ ё'мре” ѓ^на'

²¹

And she carried him up and laid him on the bed of the man of God; and she shut the door upon him, and went out.

²¹

же вознесе и& и^ положи` на ѓ%дрњ чл~ка бж~їя. и^ затвори` ѓ^ неM и^ и^зы'иде” И$ призва` мђж'а своего и^ ре'че е^мђ

²²

And she called her husband, and said, Send now for me one of the young men, and one of the asses, and I will ride quickly to the man of God, and return.

²²

посли` м^и ё%бо е^ді'ного эT ѓ%трокъ и^ еді'ного эT ѓ^сляT, и^ текђ` до чл~ка бж~їа и^ возвращђ я&”

²³

And he said, Why art thou going to him to-day? It is neither new moon, nor the sabbath. And she said, It is well.

²³

И$ рече чт^о ја^ко и%деши к не'мђ и с^е дньs не но'въ мsць, ниже сђбо'та. ѓ^на' же рече ми'ръ”

²⁴

And she saddled the ass, and said to her servant, Be quick, proceed: spare not on my account to ride, unless I shall tell thee. Go, and thou shalt proceed, and come to the man of God to mount Carmel.

²⁴

И$ ѓ^сњдла ѓ^сля` свое и^ реq къ ѓ^тро'чищђ свое^мђ веди` и^ ходи` не ё^дръжи мене`, да вся'дђ ја%коже рекђ т^и”

²⁵

And she rode and came to the man of God to the mountain: and it came to pass when Elisaie saw her coming, that he said to Giezi his servant, See now, that Somanite comes.

²⁵

І$ и^де` и^ прїиде до чл~ка бж~їя въ го'рђ карми'льскђю. и^ бы'сть ја%ко ви'дњ ея` і^е^лисе'и грядђщђю. и^ рече къ гиѓ^зїю ѓ^тро'чищђ свое^мђ. с^е ё^бо сђман#тяныни гряде'тъ”

²⁶

Now run to meet her, and thou shalt say, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? and she said, It is well.

²⁶

Тецы` ё^бо въ срњте'нїе е'й, и^ рцы е'й ми'ръ тебњ`. и^ тече во срњте'нїе е'й, и^ рече е'й ми'ръ тебњ`, ми'ръ мђж'ђ твое^мђ, ми'ръ ѓ^тро'чищђ. ѓ^на' же реq ми'ръ”

²⁷

And she came to Elisaie to the mountain, and laid hold of his feet; and Giezi drew near to thrust her away. And Elisaie said, Let her alone, for her soul is much grieved in her, and the Lord has hidden it from me, and has not told it me.

²⁷

И$ прїиде къ і^е^лисе'ю въ го'рђ и^ е'мся за но'ѕњ е^го и^ прибли'жися гиѓ^зїи и^ хотя` эTринђти ю&. и^ реq і^е^лисе'и, ѓ^ста'ви ея` ја%ко дш~а ея` прискоrбна е^сть нн~њ. и^ г~ь ё^таи` эT мене` и^ не възвњсти мнњ`”

²⁸

And she said, Did I ask a son of my lord? For did I not say, Do not deal deceitfully with me?

²⁸

И$ рече жена` е^да` проси'хъ сн~а ё^ г~а мое^го, ја^ко реко'хъ не прелсти мене`”

²⁹

And Elisaie said to Giezi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go: if thou meet any man, thou shalt not salute him, and if a man salute thee thou shalt not answer him: and thou shalt lay my staff on the child's face.

²⁹

И$ реq і^е^лисе'и къ гиѓ^зїю, препоя'ши чре'сла своя` и^ возми` же'злъ мо'и въ рђцњ свои`, і^ и^ди`. и^ ја%ко а%ще ѓ^бря'щеши мђ'жа не блsви е^го. и^ а'ще блsвиT т^я мђжъ не эTвњща'и е^мђ. и^ возложи` же'злъ мо'и на лице` ѓ^тро'чищђ”

³⁰

And the mother of the child said, As the Lord lives and as thy soul lives, I will not leave thee. And Elisaie arose, and went after her.

³⁰

И$ реq мт~и ѓ^тро'чища жи'въ г~ь и^ жива` дш~а твоа` а%ще ѓ^ста'нђ тебе` и^ въста` і^е^лисе'и і^ и^де` въ слDњ е^я`”

³¹

And Giezi went on before her, and laid his staff on the child's face: but there was neither voice nor any hearing. So he returned to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.

³¹

Гиѓ^зїи же ё^преди и& и^ возложи же'злъ на лице` ѓ^тро'чищђ. и^ не бњ гла'са ни послђша'нїя. и^ възврати'ся въ срњте'нїе е^го и^ повњ'да е^мђ гл~я, не въста` ѓ^тро'чищъ”

³²

And Elisaie went into the house, and, behold, the dead child was laid upon his bed.

³²

И$ вни'де і^е^лисе'и въ хра'мъ, и^ с^е ѓ^тро'чищъ ё^мры'и положе'нъ б^њ на ѓ%дрњ е^го”

³³

And Elisaie went into the house, and shut the door upon themselves, the two, and prayed to the Lord.

³³

И вни'де і^е^лисе'и в до'мъ. и^ затвори` две'ри эT ѓ^бо'ю само'ю. и^ помоли'ся г~ђ,

³⁴

And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands; and bowed himself upon him, and the flesh of the child grew warm.

³⁴

и^ възы'де и^ ля'же на ѓ^тро'чищи. и^ положи` ё^ста` своя` на ё^стXњ е^го. и^ ѓ'чи свои` на ѓ'чи е^го. и^ рђ'цњ свои` на рђ'цњ е^го, и^ пле'снњ свои` на пле'снђ е^го. и^ дђнђ на'нь і^ и^де` ѓ^ не'мъ и^ разъгорњ я пло'ть ѓ^тро'чищђ”

³⁵

And he returned, and walked up and down in the house: and he went up, and bowed himself on the child seven times; and the child opened his eyes.

³⁵

И$ ѓбрати'ся и^ ѓ^бходи` в# хра'мњ сю'дђ и сю'дђ. и^ възы'де и^ преклони'ся на ѓ^тро'чища сеDмижды. и^ эTвр~ъзе ѓ^тро'чищъ ѓ'чи свои`”

³⁶

And Elisaie cried out to Giezi, and said, Call this Somanite. So he called her, and she came in to him: and Elisaie said, Take thy son.

³⁶

И$ воз#пи і^е^лисе'и къ гиѓ^зїи, и^ рече. призови м^и сђман#тяны'ню сїю. и^ възва ю& и^ вни'де к не'мђ. и^ рече е'й і^е^лисе'и прїими сн~ъ тво'и”

³⁷

And the woman went in, and fell at his feet, and did obeisance bowing to the ground; and she took her son, and went out.

³⁷

И$ вни'де жена` и^ паде` на' ногђ е^го и^ поклони'ся е^мђ до земля`, и^ поја%тъ сн~а свое^го и^зы'де”

³⁸

And Elisaie returned to Galgala: and a famine was in the land; and the sons of the prophets sat before him: and Elisaie said to his servant, Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.

³⁸

І$ е^лисе'и, возврати'ся в# галга'лы. и^ б^њ гла'дъ в# земли` то'й. и^ сн~ове прoрчи сњдя'хђ преD нимъ. и^ рече і^е^лисе'и ѓ^тро'чищђ свое^мђ, наста'ви ко'нобъ ве'лїи, и^ свари` варе'нїе сн~омъ проро'чиM”

³⁹

And he went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a vine in the field, and gathered of it wild gourds, his garment full; and he cast it into the caldron of pottage, for they knew them not.

³⁹

І$ и^зы'де е^ді'н# эT ниX на село` собра'ти ѕелїа ди'вїа и^ ѓ^брњтъ винограD на селњ`, и^ набра` в не'мъ ја%блока ди'вїяго, по'лнђ ри'зђ свою`, и^ всы'па в коте'лъ на сваре'нїе. ја^ко не разђмњша”

⁴⁰

And he poured it out for the men to eat: and it came to pass, when they were eating of the pottage, that lo! they cried out, and said, There is death in the pot, O man of God. And they could not eat.

⁴⁰

И$ принесе мђжеM ја%сти. и^ бы'сть ја^дђщиM и^мъ эT варе'нїя. и^ с^е возопи'ша и рњша смр~ть еs въ коно'бњ чл~че бж~їи, не мого'ша ја%сти”

⁴¹

And he said, Take meal, and cast it into the pot. And Elisaie said to his servant Giezi, Pour out for the people, and let them eat. And there was no longer there any hurtful thing in the pot.

⁴¹

И$ рече возми'те мђки` и^ въсы'пте в# коно'бъ. и^ рече і^е^лисе'и къ гиѓ^зїю ѓ%трочищђ свое^мђ, и^знеси` лю'демъ да ја^дяT. и^ не бы'сть ктомђ` лђка'ваго гла'са ѓ^ коно'бњ”

⁴²

And there came a man over from Bætharisa, and brought to the man of God twenty barley loaves and cakes of figs, of the first-fruits. And he said, Give to the people, and let them eat.

⁴²

И$ мђжъ прїиде эT веџарылисы, и^ принесе` къ чл~кђ бж~їю прьвороDныи хлbњ я^чныи, к~. и^ смо'квы. и^ рече да'ите лю'демъ да ја^дя'тъ”

⁴³

And his servant said, Why should I set this before a hundred men? and he said, Give to the people, and let them eat; for thus saith the Lord, They shall eat and leave.

⁴³

И рече ѓ%трокъ е^го не довлњ'етъ с^е преD сто'мъ мђж'ъ. и^ реq лю'демъ да'ждъ я& да ја^дя'тъ, ја%ко си'це гл~етъ г~ь да ја^дя'тъ и^ ѓ^ста'неT и%мъ”

⁴⁴

And they ate and left, according to the word of the Lord.

⁴⁴

И$ ја^до'ша и^ ѓ^ста по гл~ђ гн~ю и^же гл~а і^е^лисе'и”
