WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Και απήγγειλεν ο Αχαάβ προς την Ιεζάβελ πάντα όσα έκαμεν ο Ηλίας, και τίνι τρόπω εθανάτωσεν εν ρομφαία πάντας τους προφήτας.
1 Y ACHAB dió la nueva á Jezabel de todo lo que Elías había hecho, de como había muerto á cuchillo á todos los profetas.
1 Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
2 Και απέστειλε μηνυτήν η Ιεζάβελ προς τον Ηλίαν, λέγουσα, Ούτω να κάμωσιν οι θεοί και ούτω να προσθέσωσιν, εάν αύριον περί την ώραν ταύτην δεν καταστήσω την ζωήν σου ως την ζωήν ενός εξ εκείνων.
2 Entonces envió Jezabel á Elías un mensajero, diciendo: Así me hagan los dioses, y así me añadan, si mañana á estas horas yo no haya puesto tu persona como la de uno de ellos.
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 Και φοβηθείς, εσηκώθη και ανεχώρησε διά την ζωήν αυτού, και ήλθεν εις Βηρ-σαβεέ την του Ιούδα και αφήκεν εκεί τον υπηρέτην αυτού.
3 Viendo pues [el peligro], levantóse y fuése por salvar su vida, y vino á Beer-seba, que es en Judá, y dejó allí su criado.
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 Αυτός δε υπήγεν εις την έρημον μιας ημέρας οδόν, και ήλθε και εκάθησεν υπό τινά άρκευθον· και επεθύμησε καθ' εαυτόν να αποθάνη και είπεν, Αρκεί· τώρα, Κύριε, λάβε την ψυχήν μου· διότι δεν είμαι εγώ καλήτερος των πατέρων μου.
4 Y él se fué por el desierto un día de camino, y vino y sentóse debajo de un enebro; y deseando morirse, dijo: Baste ya, oh Jehová, quita mi alma; que no soy yo mejor que mis padres.
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 Και πλαγιάσας απεκοιμήθη υποκάτω μιας αρκεύθου, και ιδού, άγγελος ήγγισεν αυτόν και είπε προς αυτόν, Σηκώθητι, φάγε.
5 Y echándose debajo del enebro, quedóse dormido: y he aquí luego un ángel que le tocó, y le dijo: Levántate, come.
5 He lay down and slept under a juniper tree; and behold, an angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat!”
6 Και ανέβλεψε, και ιδού, πλησίον της κεφαλής αυτού άρτος εγκρυφίας και αγγείου ύδατος. Και έφαγε και έπιε και πάλιν επλαγίασε.
6 Entonces él miró, y he aquí á su cabecera una torta cocida sobre las ascuas, y un vaso de agua: y comió y bebió, y volvióse á dormir.
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 Και επέστρεψεν ο άγγελος του Κυρίου εκ δευτέρου και ήγγισεν αυτόν και είπε, Σηκώθητι, φάγε· διότι πολλή είναι η οδός από σου.
7 Y volviendo el ángel de Jehová la segunda vez, tocóle, diciendo: Levántate, come: porque gran camino te resta.
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 Και σηκωθείς, έφαγε και έπιε, και με την δύναμιν της τροφής εκείνης ώδοιπόρησε τεσσαράκοντα ημέρας και τεσσαράκοντα νύκτας, έως Χωρήβ του όρους του Θεού.
8 Levantóse pues, y comió y bebió; y caminó con la fortaleza de aquella comida cuarenta días y cuarenta noches, hasta el monte de Dios, Horeb.
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 Και εισήλθεν εκεί εις σπήλαιον και έκαμεν εκεί κατάλυμα· και ιδού, ήλθε λόγος Κυρίου προς αυτόν και είπε προς αυτόν, Τι κάμνεις ενταύθα, Ηλία;
9 Y allí se metió en una cueva, donde tuvo la noche. Y fué á él palabra de Jehová, el cual le dijo: ¿Qué haces aquí, Elías?
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 Ο δε είπεν, Εστάθην εις άκρον ζηλωτής υπέρ Κυρίου του Θεού των δυνάμεων· διότι οι υιοί Ισραήλ εγκατέλιπον την διαθήκην σου, τα θυσιαστήριά σου κατέστρεψαν και τους προφήτας σου εθανάτωσαν εν ρομφαία· και εναπελείφθην εγώ μόνος· και ζητούσι την ζωήν μου, διά να αφαιρέσωσιν αυτήν.
10 Y él respondió: Sentido he un vivo celo por Jehová Dios de los ejércitos; porque los hijos de Israel han dejado tu alianza, han derribado tus altares, y han muerto á cuchillo tus profetas: y yo solo he quedado, y me buscan para quitarme la vida.
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 Και είπεν, Έξελθε και στάθητι επί το όρος ενώπιον Κυρίου. Και ιδού, ο Κύριος διέβαινε, και άνεμος μέγας και δυνατός έσχιζε τα όρη και συνέτριβε τους βράχους έμπροσθεν του Κυρίου· ο Κύριος δεν ήτο εν τω ανέμω· και μετά τον άνεμον σεισμός· ο Κύριος δεν ήτο εν τω σεισμώ·
11 Y él le dijo: Sal fuera, y ponte en el monte delante de Jehová. Y he aquí Jehová que pasaba, y un grande y poderoso viento que rompía los montes, y quebraba las peñas delante de Jehová: mas Jehová no estaba en el viento. Y tras el viento un terremoto: mas Jehová no estaba en el terremoto.
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 και μετά τον σεισμόν, πύρ· ο Κύριος δεν ήτο εν τω πυρί· και μετά το πυρ, ήχος λεπτού αέρος.
12 Y tras el terremoto un fuego: mas Jehová no estaba en el fuego. Y tras el fuego un silbo apacible y delicado.
12 After the earthquake a fire passed; but Yahweh was not in the fire. After the fire, there was a still small voice.
13 Και ως ήκουσεν ο Ηλίας, εσκέπασε το πρόσωπον αυτού με την μηλωτήν αυτού και εξήλθε και εστάθη εις την είσοδον του σπηλαίου. Και ιδού, φωνή προς αυτόν, λέγουσα, Τι κάμνεις ενταύθα, Ηλία;
13 Y cuando lo oyó Elías, cubrió su rostro con su manto, y salió, y paróse á la puerta de la cueva. Y he aquí llegó una voz á él, diciendo: ¿Qué haces aquí, Elías?
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 Και είπεν, Εστάθην εις άκρον ζηλωτής υπέρ Κυρίου του Θεού των δυνάμεων· διότι οι υιοί του Ισραήλ εγκατέλιπον την διαθήκην σου, τα θυσιαστήριά σου κατέστρεψαν και τους προφήτας σου εθανάτωσαν εν ρομφαία· και εναπελείφθην εγώ μόνος· και ζητούσι την ζωήν μου, διά να αφαιρέσωσιν αυτήν.
14 Y él respondió: Sentido he un vivo celo por Jehová Dios de los ejércitos; porque los hijos de Israel han dejado tu alianza, han derribado tus altares, y han muerto á cuchillo tus profetas: y yo solo he quedado, y me buscan para quitarme la vida.
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 Και είπε Κύριος προς αυτόν, Ύπαγε, επίστρεψον εις την οδόν σου προς την έρημον της Δαμασκού· και όταν έλθης, χρίσον τον Αζαήλ βασιλέα επί την Συρίαν·
15 Y díjole Jehová: Ve, vuélvete por tu camino, por el desierto de Damasco: y llegarás, y ungirás á Hazael por rey de Siria;
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 τον δε Ιηού τον υιόν του Νιμσί θέλεις χρίσει βασιλέα επί τον Ισραήλ· και τον Ελισσαιέ τον υιόν του Σαφάτ, από Αβέλ-μεολά, θέλεις χρίσει προφήτην αντί σού·
16 Y á Jehú hijo de Nimsi, ungirás por rey sobre Israel; y á Eliseo hijo de Saphat, de Abelmehula, ungirás para que sea profeta en lugar de ti.
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 και θέλει συμβή, ώστε τον διασωθέντα εκ της ρομφαίας του Αζαήλ, θέλει θανατώσει ο Ιηού· και τον διασωθέντα εκ της ρομφαίας του Ιηού, θέλει θανατώσει ο Ελισσαιέ·
17 Y será, que el que escapare del cuchillo de Hazael, Jehú lo matará; y el que escapare del cuchillo de Jehú, Eliseo lo matará.
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 αφήκα όμως εις τον Ισραήλ επτά χιλιάδας, πάντα τα γόνατα, όσα δεν έκλιναν εις τον Βάαλ, και παν στόμα το οποίον δεν ησπάσθη αυτόν.
18 Y yo haré que queden en Israel siete mil; todas rodillas que no se encorvaron á Baal, y bocas todas que no lo besaron.
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 Και αναχωρήσας εκείθεν, εύρηκε τον Ελισσαιέ τον υιόν του Σαφάτ, ενώ ώργονε με δώδεκα ζεύγη βοών έμπροσθεν αυτού, αυτός ων εις το δωδέκατον· και επέρασεν ο Ηλίας από πλησίον αυτού και έρριψεν επ' αυτόν την μηλωτήν αυτού.
19 Y partiéndose él de allí, halló á Eliseo hijo de Saphat, que araba con doce yuntas delante de sí; y él era uno de los doce [gañanes]. Y pasando Elías por delante de él, echó sobre él su manto.
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 Ο δε αφήκε τους βόας και έτρεξε κατόπιν του Ηλία και είπεν, Ας ασπασθώ, παρακαλώ, τον πατέρα μου και την μητέρα μου, και τότε θέλω σε ακολουθήσει. Και είπε προς αυτόν, Ύπαγε, επίστρεψον· διότι τι έκαμα εις σε;
20 Entonces dejando él los bueyes, vino corriendo en pos de Elías, y dijo: Ruégote que me dejes besar mi padre y mi madre, y luego te seguiré. Y él le dijo: Ve, vuelve: ¿qué te he hecho yo?
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 Και έστρεψεν εξόπισθεν αυτού και έλαβεν εν ζεύγος βοών και έσφαξεν αυτούς, και έψησε το κρέας αυτών με τα εργαλεία των βοών και έδωκεν εις τον λαόν, και έφαγον. Τότε σηκωθείς, υπήγε κατόπιν του Ηλία και υπηρέτει αυτόν.
21 Y volvióse de en pos de él, y tomó un par de bueyes, y matólos, y con el arado de los bueyes coció la carne de ellos, y dióla al pueblo que comiesen. Después se levantó, y fué tras Elías, y servíale.
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 …
Even there, when Elijah said, "O Lord, they have slain Thy prophets, they have digged down Thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life," it was answered that seven thousand men were there who had not bowed the knee to Baal.

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, …
