Notes on this text (3)
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- Exodus 36–39 follow the Septuagint's order; the digital source has no verse divisions there, so Exodus 36:8–end and chapters 37, 38 and 39 each appear as one block.
- Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.

1 И҆ речѐ и҆лїа̀ прⷪ҇ро́къ ѳесві́тѧнинъ, и҆́же ѿ ѳесві́и галаа́дскїѧ, ко а҆хаа́вꙋ: жи́въ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ си́лъ, бг҃ъ і҆и҃левъ, є҆мꙋ́же предстою̀ пред̾ ни́мъ, а҆́ще бꙋ́детъ въ лѣ̑та сїѧ̑ роса̀ и҆ до́ждь, то́чїю ѿ ᲂу҆́стъ словесѐ моегѡ̀.
1 Elijah the Tishbite, who was one of the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.”
2 И҆ бы́сть гл҃ъ гдⷭ҇ень ко и҆лїѝ:
2 Then Yahweh’s word came to him, saying,
3 и҆дѝ ѿсю́дꙋ на восто́къ и҆ скры́йсѧ въ пото́цѣ хора́ѳа прѧ́мѡ лицꙋ̀ і҆ѻрда́новꙋ:
3 “Go away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.
4 и҆ бꙋ́деши пи́ти ѿ пото́ка во́дꙋ, и҆ вра́нѡмъ заповѣ́дахъ препита́ти тѧ̀ та́мѡ.
4 You shall drink from the brook. I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
5 И҆ сотворѝ и҆лїа̀ по гл҃ꙋ гдⷭ҇ню, и҆ сѣ́де при пото́цѣ хора́ѳовѣ прѧ́мѡ лицꙋ̀ і҆ѻрда́новꙋ:
5 So he went and did according to Yahweh’s word, for he went and lived by the brook Cherith that is before the Jordan.
6 и҆ вра́нове приноша́хꙋ є҆мꙋ̀ хлѣ́бы и҆ мѧса̀ заꙋ́тра, и҆ хлѣ́бы и҆ мѧса̀ къ ве́черꙋ, и҆ ѿ пото́ка пїѧ́ше во́дꙋ.
6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook.
7 И҆ бы́сть по дне́хъ, и҆ и҆́зсше и҆сто́чникъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не бѣ̀ дождѧ̀ на зе́млю,
7 After a while, the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
8 и҆ бы́сть гл҃ъ гдⷭ҇ень ко и҆лїѝ гл҃ѧ:
8 Yahweh’s word came to him, saying,
9 воста́ни и҆ и҆дѝ въ саре́птꙋ сїдѡ́нскꙋю, и҆ пребꙋ́ди та́мѡ: се́ бо, заповѣ́дахъ та́мѡ женѣ̀ вдови́цѣ препита́ти тѧ̀.
9 “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.”
10 И҆ воста̀ и҆ и҆́де въ саре́птꙋ сїдѡ́нскꙋю, и҆ прїи́де ко вратѡ́мъ гра́да: и҆ сѐ, та́мѡ жена̀ вдова̀ собира́ше дрова̀. И҆ возопѝ и҆лїа̀ в̾слѣ́дъ є҆ѧ̀ и҆ речѐ є҆́й: принесѝ нн҃ѣ мѝ ма́лѡ воды̀ въ сосꙋ́дѣ, и҆ и҆спїю̀.
10 So 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.”
11 И҆ и҆́де взѧ́ти. И҆ возопѝ в̾слѣ́дъ є҆ѧ̀ и҆лїа̀ и҆ речѐ є҆́й: прїимѝ ᲂу҆̀бо мнѣ̀ и҆ ᲂу҆крꙋ́хъ хлѣ́ба въ рꙋцѣ̀ свое́й, да ꙗ҆́мъ.
11 As she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.”
12 И҆ речѐ жена̀: жи́въ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ тво́й, а҆́ще є҆́сть ᲂу҆ менє̀ ѡ҆прѣсно́къ, но то́кмѡ го́рсть мꙋкѝ въ водоно́сѣ и҆ ма́лѡ є҆ле́а въ чва́нцѣ: и҆ сѐ, а҆́зъ соберꙋ̀ два̀ пѡлѣ́нца, и҆ вни́дꙋ, и҆ сотворю̀ є҆̀ себѣ̀ и҆ дѣ́темъ мои̑мъ, и҆ снѣ́мы є҆̀, и҆ ᲂу҆́мремъ.
12 She said, “As Yahweh 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.”
13 И҆ речѐ къ не́й и҆лїа̀: дерза́й, вни́ди и҆ сотворѝ но глаго́лꙋ твоемꙋ̀: но сотвори́ ми ѿтꙋ́дꙋ ѡ҆прѣсно́къ ма́лъ пре́жде, и҆ принеси́ ми, себѣ́ же и҆ ча́дѡмъ свои̑мъ да сотвори́ши по́слѣжде,
13 Elijah 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.
14 ꙗ҆́кѡ та́кѡ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ і҆и҃левъ: водоно́съ мꙋкѝ не ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́етъ, и҆ чва́нецъ є҆ле́а не ᲂу҆ма́литсѧ до днѐ, до́ндеже да́стъ гдⷭ҇ь до́ждь на зе́млю.
14 For Yahweh, 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 Yahweh sends rain on the earth.’”
15 И҆ и҆́де жена̀, и҆ сотворѝ по глаго́лꙋ и҆лїинꙋ̀, и҆ дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ ꙗ҆дѐ то́й, и҆ та̀, и҆ ча̑да є҆ѧ̀.
15 She went and did according to the saying of Elijah; and she, he, and her household ate many days.
16 И҆ ѿ тогѡ̀ днѐ водоно́съ мꙋкѝ не ѡ҆скꙋдѣ̀, и҆ чва́нецъ є҆ле́а не ᲂу҆ма́лисѧ, по гл҃ꙋ гдⷭ҇ню, є҆го́же гл҃а рꙋко́ю и҆лїино́ю.
16 The jar of meal didn’t run out and the jar of oil didn’t fail, according to Yahweh’s word, which he spoke by Elijah.
17 И҆ бы́сть по си́хъ, и҆ разболѣ́сѧ сы́нъ жены̀ госпожѝ до́мꙋ, и҆ бѣ̀ болѣ́знь є҆гѡ̀ крѣпка̀ ѕѣлѡ̀, до́ндеже не ѡ҆ста́сѧ въ не́мъ дꙋ́хъ є҆гѡ̀.
17 After 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.
18 И҆ речѐ ко и҆лїѝ: что̀ мнѣ̀ и҆ тебѣ̀, человѣ́че бж҃їй; вше́лъ є҆сѝ ко мнѣ̀ воспомѧнꙋ́ти непра̑вды моѧ̑ и҆ ᲂу҆мори́ти сы́на моего̀.
18 She 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!”
19 И҆ речѐ и҆лїа̀ къ женѣ̀: да́ждь мѝ сы́на твоего̀. И҆ взѧ́тъ є҆го̀ ѿ нѣ́дра є҆ѧ̀, и҆ вознесѐ є҆го̀ въ го́рницꙋ, и҆дѣ́же са́мъ почива́ше, и҆ положѝ є҆го̀ на ѻ҆дрѣ̀ свое́мъ.
19 He 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.
20 И҆ возопѝ и҆лїа̀ ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ и҆ речѐ: ᲂу҆вы̀ мнѣ̀, гдⷭ҇и, свидѣ́телю вдовы̀, ᲂу҆ неѧ́же а҆́зъ нн҃ѣ пребыва́ю, ты̀ ѡ҆ѕло́билъ є҆сѝ є҆́же ᲂу҆мори́ти сы́на є҆ѧ̀.
20 He cried to Yahweh and said, “Yahweh my God, have you also brought evil on the widow with whom I am staying, by killing her son?”
21 И҆ дꙋ́нꙋ на ѻ҆́трочища три́жды, и҆ призва̀ гдⷭ҇а и҆ речѐ: гдⷭ҇и бж҃е мо́й, да возврати́тсѧ ᲂу҆̀бо дꙋша̀ ѻ҆́трочища сегѡ̀ во́нь. И҆ бы́сть та́кѡ:
21 He stretched himself on the child three times, and cried to Yahweh and said, “Yahweh my God, please let this child’s soul come into him again.”
22 и҆ возопѝ ѻ҆́трочищь, и҆ сведѐ є҆го̀ съ го́рницы въ до́мъ, и҆ дадѐ є҆го̀ ма́тери є҆гѡ̀. И҆ речѐ и҆лїа̀: ви́ждь, жи́въ є҆́сть сы́нъ тво́й.
22 Yahweh listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
23 И҆ речѐ жена̀ ко и҆лїѝ: сѐ, ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ человѣ́къ бж҃їй є҆сѝ ты̀, и҆ гл҃ъ гдⷭ҇ень во ᲂу҆стѣ́хъ твои́хъ и҆́стиненъ.
23 Elijah 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.” 24 The woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that Yahweh’s word in your mouth is truth.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Not even His servant Elias, to whom He sent bread and flesh by the ravens upon a certain occasion had need of this; and yet that a religious widow might be blessed, the servant of God is sent, and he whom God in secret did feed, is fed by the widow.
