1 И҆ возвѣстѝ а҆хаа́въ і҆езаве́ли женѣ̀ свое́й всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка сотворѝ и҆лїа̀, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆збѝ проро́ки ѻ҆рꙋ́жїемъ.
1 Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
2 И҆ посла̀ і҆езаве́ль ко и҆лїѝ и҆ речѐ: а҆́ще ты̀ є҆сѝ и҆лїа̀, а҆́зъ же і҆езаве́ль: сїѧ̑ да сотворѧ́тъ мѝ бо́зи и҆ сїѧ̑ да приложа́тъ мѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ въ се́й же ча́съ ᲂу҆́трѡ положꙋ̀ дꙋ́шꙋ твою̀, ꙗ҆́коже дꙋ́шꙋ є҆ди́нагѡ ѿ ни́хъ.
2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I don’t make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time!”
3 И҆ ᲂу҆боѧ́сѧ и҆лїа̀, и҆ воста̀, и҆ ѿи́де дꙋшѝ ра́ди своеѧ̀, и҆ прїи́де въ вирсаві́ю зе́млю і҆ꙋ́динꙋ, и҆ ѡ҆ста́ви ѻ҆́трочище своѐ та́мѡ,
3 When he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.
4 са́мъ же и҆́де въ пꙋсты́ню днѐ пꙋ́ть, и҆ прїи́де, и҆ сѣ́де под̾ сме́рчїемъ, и҆ просѝ дꙋшѝ свое́й сме́рти, и҆ речѐ: довлѣ́етъ нн҃ѣ (мѝ), возмѝ ᲂу҆́бѡ ѿ менє̀ дꙋ́шꙋ мою̀, гдⷭ҇и, ꙗ҆́кѡ нѣ́смь а҆́зъ лꙋ́чшїй ѻ҆тє́цъ мои́хъ.
4 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree. Then he requested for himself that he might die, and said, “It is enough. Now, O Yahweh, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.”
5 И҆ лѧ́же, и҆ ᲂу҆́спе под̾ са́домъ: и҆ сѐ, а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇ень коснꙋ́сѧ є҆мꙋ̀ и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: воста́ни, ꙗ҆́ждь и҆ пі́й.
5 He lay down and slept under a juniper tree; and behold, an angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat!”
6 И҆ воззрѣ̀ и҆лїа̀: и҆ сѐ, ᲂу҆ возгла́вїѧ є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆прѣсно́къ ꙗ҆чме́нный и҆ чва́нецъ воды̀. И҆ воста̀, и҆ ꙗ҆дѐ и҆ пѝ, и҆ возврати́всѧ ᲂу҆́спе.
6 He looked, and behold, there was at his head a cake baked on the coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank, and lay down again.
7 И҆ ѡ҆брати́сѧ а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇ень втори́цею, и҆ коснꙋ́сѧ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: воста́ни, ꙗ҆́ждь и҆ пі́й, ꙗ҆́кѡ мно́гъ ѿ тебє̀ пꙋ́ть.
7 Yahweh’s angel came again the second time, and touched him, and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.”
8 И҆ воста̀, и҆ ꙗ҆дѐ и҆ пѝ: и҆ и҆́де въ крѣ́пости ꙗ҆́ди тоѧ̀ четы́редесѧть дні́й и҆ четы́редесѧть ноще́й до горы̀ бж҃їѧ хѡри́въ.
8 He arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb, God’s Mountain.
9 И҆ вни́де та́мѡ въ пеще́рꙋ, и҆ всели́сѧ въ не́й. И҆ сѐ, гл҃ъ гдⷭ҇ень къ немꙋ̀ и҆ речѐ: что̀ ты̀ здѣ̀, и҆лїѐ;
9 He came to a cave there, and camped there; and behold, Yahweh’s word came to him, and he said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
10 И҆ речѐ и҆лїа̀: ревнꙋ́ѧ поревнова́хъ по гдⷭѣ (бз҃ѣ) вседержи́тели, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆ста́виша тѧ̀ сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы: ѻ҆лтари̑ твоѧ̑ раскопа́ша, и҆ прⷪ҇ро́ки твоѧ̑ и҆зби́ша ѻ҆рꙋ́жїемъ, и҆ ѡ҆ста́хъ а҆́зъ є҆ди́нъ, и҆ и҆́щꙋтъ дꙋшѝ моеѧ̀ и҆з̾ѧ́ти ю҆̀.
10 He said, “I have been very jealous for Yahweh, the God of Armies; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.”
11 И҆ речѐ: и҆зы́ди ᲂу҆́трѡ и҆ ста́ни пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ въ горѣ̀: и҆ сѐ, ми́мѡ по́йдетъ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆ дꙋ́хъ вели́къ и҆ крѣ́покъ разорѧ́ѧ го́ры и҆ сокрꙋша́ѧ ка́менїе въ горѣ̀ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ, (но) не въ дꙋ́сѣ гдⷭ҇ь: и҆ по дꙋ́сѣ трꙋ́съ, и҆ не въ трꙋ́сѣ гдⷭ҇ь:
11 He said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before Yahweh.” Behold, Yahweh passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before Yahweh; but Yahweh was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake; but Yahweh was not in the earthquake.
12 и҆ по трꙋ́сѣ ѻ҆́гнь, и҆ не во ѻ҆гнѝ гдⷭ҇ь: и҆ по ѻ҆гнѝ гла́съ хла́да то́нка, и҆ та́мѡ гдⷭ҇ь.
12 After the earthquake a fire passed; but Yahweh was not in the fire. After the fire, there was a still small voice.
13 И҆ бы́сть ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆слы́ша и҆лїа̀, покры̀ лицѐ своѐ ми́лѡтїю свое́ю, и҆ и҆зы́де и҆ ста̀ пред̾ верте́помъ. И҆ сѐ, къ немꙋ̀ бы́сть гла́съ и҆ речѐ: что̀ ты̀ здѣ̀, и҆лїѐ;
13 When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle, went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. Behold, a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
14 И҆ речѐ и҆лїа̀: ревнꙋ́ѧ поревнова́хъ по гдⷭѣ бз҃ѣ вседержи́тели, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆ста́виша завѣ́тъ тво́й сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы, и҆ ѻ҆лтари̑ твоѧ̑ раскопа́ша, и҆ прⷪ҇ро́ки твоѧ̑ и҆зби́ша ѻ҆рꙋ́жїемъ, и҆ ѡ҆ста́хъ а҆́зъ є҆ди́нъ, и҆ и҆́щꙋтъ дꙋшѝ моеѧ̀ и҆з̾ѧ́ти ю҆̀.
14 He said, “I have been very jealous for Yahweh, the God of Armies; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.”
15 И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ немꙋ̀: и҆дѝ, возврати́сѧ пꙋте́мъ свои́мъ, и҆ и҆зы́деши на пꙋ́ть пꙋсты́ни дама́сковы, и҆ пома́жеши а҆заи́ла на ца́рство сѷрі́йское,
15 Yahweh said to him, “Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus. When you arrive, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria.
16 и҆ і҆иꙋ́а сы́на намессі́ина пома́жеши на ца́рство над̾ і҆и҃лемъ, и҆ є҆лїссе́а сы́на сафа́това ѿ а҆велмаꙋ́ла пома́жеши вмѣ́стѡ себє̀ прⷪ҇ро́ка:
16 Anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi to be king over Israel; and anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah to be prophet in your place.
17 и҆ бꙋ́детъ спаса́емаго ѿ ѻ҆рꙋ́жїѧ а҆заи́лева ᲂу҆бїе́тъ і҆иꙋ́й, и҆ спаса́емаго ѿ ѻ҆рꙋ́жїѧ і҆иꙋ́ина ᲂу҆бїе́тъ є҆лїссе́й:
17 He who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and he who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill.
18 и҆ ѡ҆ста́виши во і҆и҃ли се́дмь ты́сѧщъ мꙋже́й, всѧ̑ кѡлѣ́на, ꙗ҆̀же не преклони́ша колѣ́на ваа́лꙋ, и҆ всѧ̑ка ᲂу҆ста̀, ꙗ҆̀же не моли́шасѧ є҆мꙋ̀.
18 Yet I reserved seven thousand in Israel, all the knees of which have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.”
19 И҆ и҆́де ѿтꙋ́дꙋ, и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́те є҆лїссе́а сы́на сафа́това, и҆ се́й ѡ҆рѧ́ше двѣмана́десѧтьма сꙋпрꙋ́гома волѡ́въ пред̾ ни́мъ, и҆ то́й са́мъ по двоюна́десѧти сꙋпрꙋ̑гъ. И҆ прїи́де и҆лїа̀ къ немꙋ̀, и҆ пове́рже ми́лѡть свою̀ на него̀.
19 So he departed from there and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth. Elijah went over to him and put his mantle on him.
20 И҆ ѡ҆ста́ви є҆лїссе́й волы̀, и҆ течѐ в̾слѣ́дъ и҆лїѝ, и҆ речѐ: (молю̀ тѧ̀,) да ѡ҆блобыжꙋ̀ ѻ҆тца̀ моего̀ и҆ ма́терь мою̀, и҆ и҆дꙋ̀ в̾слѣ́дъ тебє̀. И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ и҆лїа̀: и҆дѝ, возврати́сѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ сотвори́хъ тебѣ̀.
20 Elisha left the oxen and ran after Elijah, and said, “Let me please kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.” He said to him, “Go back again; for what have I done to you?”
21 И҆ возврати́сѧ ѿ негѡ̀: и҆ взѧ̀ сꙋпрꙋ́ги волѡ́въ, и҆ закла̀, и҆ и҆спечѐ ѧ҆̀ въ сосꙋ́дѣхъ воло́вныхъ, и҆ дадѐ лю́демъ, и҆ ꙗ҆до́ша. И҆ воста̀, и҆ и҆́де в̾слѣ́дъ и҆лїѝ, и҆ слꙋжа́ше є҆мꙋ̀.
21 He returned from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, killed them, and boiled their meat with the oxen’s equipment, and gave to the people; and they ate. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and served him.

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).

    … Lord [was] not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord [was] not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a scarcely audible voice" (vox auræ tenuis). For by such means was the prophet--very indignant, because of the transgression of the people …

    And if thou knowest not of them, it is nothing marvellous, since Elias too supposed he was alone, but was told, "I have left unto myself seven thousand men." Whence it is manifest that even now there are many who show forth the apostolical life; like as the "three thousand" then, and the "five thousand." And if we believe not, …
