1Now a certain woman of the wives of the prophets cried to Eliseus, saying: Thy servant my husband is dead, and thou knowest that thy servant was one that feared God, and behold the creditor is come to take away my two sons to serve him.Mulier autem quaedam de uxoribus prophetarum clamabat ad Eliseum, dicens: Servus tuus vir meus mortuus est, et tu nosti quia servus tuus fuit timens Dominum: et ecce creditor venit ut tollat duos filios meos ad serviendum sibi.Καὶ γυνὴ μία ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν τῶν προφητῶν ἐβόα πρὸς τὸν Ἑλισαῖε, λέγουσα, ὁ δοῦλός σου ἀνήρ μου ἀπέθανε, καὶ σὺ ἔγνως, ὅτι δοῦλὸς σου ἦν φοβούμενος τὸν Κύριον· καὶ ὁ δανειστὴς ἦλθε λαβεῖν τοὺς δύο υἱούς μου ἑαυτῷ εἰς δούλους.
2And Eliseus said to her: What wilt thou have me to do for thee? Tell me, what hast thou in thy house? And she answered: I thy handmaid have nothing in my house but a little oil, to anoint me.Cui dixit Eliseus: Quid vis ut faciam tibi? dic mihi, quid habes in domo tua? At illa respondit: Non habeo ancilla tua quidquam in domo mea, nisi parum olei quo ungar.Καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιὲ, τί ποιήσω σοι; ἀνάγγειλόν μοι τί ἐστι σοι ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ; ἡ δὲ εἶπεν, οὐκ ἔστι τῇ δούλῃ σου οὐδὲν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ, ὅτι ἀλλʼ ἢ ὃ ἀλείψομαι ἔλαιον.
3And he said to her: Go, borrow of all thy neighbours empty vessels not a few.Cui ait: Vade, pete mutuo ab omnibus vicinis tuis vasa vacua non pauca,Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτήν, δεῦρο, αἴτησαι σεαυτῇ σκεύη ἔξωθεν παρὰ πάντων τῶν γειτόνων σκεύη κενὰ, μὴ ὀλιγώσῃς.
4And go in, and shut thy door, when thou art within, and thy sons: and pour out thereof into all those vessels: and when they are full take them away.et ingredere, et claude ostium tuum cum intrinsecus fueris tu, et filii tui: et mitte inde in omnia vasa haec, et cum plena fuerint, tolles.Καὶ εἰσελεύσῃ καὶ ἀποκλείσεις τὴν θύραν κατὰ σοῦ καὶ κατὰ τῶν υἱῶν σου, καὶ ἀποχεεῖς εἰς τὰ σκεύη ταῦτα, καὶ τὸ πληρωθὲν ἀρεῖς.
5So the woman went, and shut the door upon her, and upon her sons: they brought her the vessels, and she poured in.Ivit itaque mulier, et clausit ostium super se, et super filios suos: illi offerebant vasa, et illa infundebat.Καὶ ἀπῆλθε παρʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπέκλεισε τὴν θύραν καθʼ ἑαυτῆς καὶ κατὰ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτῆς· αὐτοὶ προσήγγιζον πρὸς αὐτὴν, καὶ αὐτὴ ἐπέχεεν ἕως ἐπλήσθησαν τὰ σκεύη.
6And when the vessels were full, she said to her son: Bring me yet a vessel. And he answered: I have no more. And the oil stood.Cumque plena fuissent vasa, dixit ad filium suum: Affer mihi adhuc vas. Et ille respondit: Non habeo. Stetitque oleum.Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῆς, ἐγγίσατε ἔτι πρὸς μὲ τὸ σκεῦος· καὶ εἶπον αὐτῇ, οὐκ ἔστιν ἔτι σκεῦος· καὶ ἔστη τὸ ἔλαιον.
7And she came, and told the man of God. And he said: Go, sell the oil, and pay thy creditor: and thou and thy sons live of the rest.Venit autem illa, et indicavit homini Dei. Et ille: Vade, inquit, vende oleum, et redde creditori tuo: tu autem, et filii tui vivite de reliquo.Καὶ ἦλθε, καὶ ἀπήγγειλε τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ· καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιὲ, δεῦρο καὶ ἀπόδου τὸ ἔλαιον, καὶ ἀποτίσεις τοὺς τόκους σου, καὶ σὺ καὶ οἱ υἱοί σου ζήσεσθε ἐν τῷ ἐπιλοίπῳ ἐλαίῳ.
8And there was a day when Eliseus passed by Sunam: now there was a great woman there, who detained him to eat bread; and as he passed often that way, he turned into her house to eat bread.Facta est autem quaedam dies, et transibat Eliseus per Sunam: erat autem ibi mulier magna, quae tenuit eum ut comederet panem: cumque frequenter inde transiret, divertebat ad eam ut comederet panem.Καὶ ἐγένετο ἡμέρα, καὶ διέβη Ἐλισαιὲ εἰς Σωμὰν, καὶ ἐκεῖ γυνὴ μεγάλη, καὶ ἐκράτησεν αὐτὸν φαγεῖν ἄρτον· καὶ ἐγένετο ἀφʼ ἱκανοῦ τοῦ εἰσπορεύεσθαι αὐτὸν, ἐξέκλινε τοῦ ἐκεῖ φαγεῖν.
9And she said to her husband: I perceive that this is a holy man of God, who often passeth by us.Quae dixit ad virum suum: Animadverto quod vir Dei sanctus est iste, qui transit per nos frequenter.Καὶ εἶπεν ἡ γυνὴ πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς, ἰδοὺ δὴ ἔγνων ὅτι ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ ἅγιος οὗτος διαπορεύεται ἐφ ἡμᾶς διαπαντός.
10Let us therefore make him a little chamber, and put a little bed in it for him, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick, that when he cometh to us, he may abide there.Faciamus ergo ei coenaculum parvum, et ponamus ei in eo lectulum, et mensam, et sellam, et candelabrum, ut cum venerit ad nos, maneat ibi.Ποιήσωμεν δὴ αὐτῷ ὑπερῷον τόπον μικρόν, καὶ θῶμεν αὐτῷ ἐκεῖ κλίνην, καὶ τράπεζαν, καὶ δίφρον, καὶ λυχνίαν· καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ εἰσπορεύεσθαι πρὸς ἡμᾶς, καὶ ἐκκλινεῖ ἐκεῖ.
11Now there was a certain day when he came and turned in to the chamber, and rested there.Facta est ergo dies quaedam, et veniens divertit in coenaculum, et requievit ibi.Καὶ ἐγένετο ἡμέρα, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἐξέκλινεν εἰς τὸ ὑπερῷον, καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐκεῖ.
12And he said to Giezi his servant Call this Sunamitess. And when he had called her, and she stood before him,Dixitque ad Giezi puerum suum: Voca Sunamitidem istam. Qui cum vocasset eam, et illa stetisset coram eo,Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς Γιεζὶ τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ, κάλεσόν μοι τὴν Σωμανίτιν ταύτην· καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτήν, καὶ ἔστη ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ.
13He said to his servant: Say to her Behold thou hast diligently served us in all things, what wilt thou have me to do for thee? hast thou any business, and wilt thou that I speak to the king, or to the general of the army? And she answered: I dwell in the midst of my own people.dixit ad puerum suum: Loquere ad eam: Ecce, sedule in omnibus ministrasti nobis: quid vis ut faciam tibi? numquid habes negotium, et vis ut loquar regi, sive principi militiae? Quae respondit: In medio populi mei habito.Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, εἶπον δὴ πρὸς αὐτὴν, ἰδοὺ, ἐξέστησας ἡμῖν πᾶσαν τὴν ἔκστασιν ταύτην, τί δεῖ ποιῆσαί σοι; εἰ ἔστι λόγος σοι πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, ἢ πρὸς τὸν ἄρχοντα τῆς δυνάμεως; ἡ δὲ εἶπεν, ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ λαοῦ ἐγώ εἰμι οἰκῶ.
14And he said: What will she then that I do for her? And Giezi said: Do not ask, for she hath no son, and her husband is old.Et ait: Quid ergo vult ut faciam ei? Dixitque Giezi: Ne quaeras: filium enim non habet, et vir eius senex est.Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς Γιεζὶ, τί δεῖ ποιῆσαι αὐτῇ; καὶ εἶπε Γιεζὶ τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ, καὶ μάλα υἱὸς οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτῇ· καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς πρεσβύτης.
15Then he bid him call her: And when she was called, and stood before the door.Praecepit itaque ut vocaret eam: quae cum vocata fuisset, et stetisset ante ostium,Καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτήν, καὶ ἔστη παρὰ τὴν θύραν.
16He said to her: At this time, and this same hour, if life accompany, thou shalt have a son in thy womb. But she answered: Do not, I beseech thee, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie to thy handmaid.dixit ad eam: In tempore isto, et in hac eadem hora, si vita comes fuerit, habebis in utero filium. At illa respondit: Noli quaeso, domine mi vir Dei, noli mentiri ancillae tuae.Καὶ εἶπεν Ἐλισαιὲ πρὸς αὐτήν, εἰς τὸν καιρὸν τοῦτον, ὡς ἡ ὥρα, ζῶσα σὺ, περιειληφυῖα υἱόν· ἡ δὲ εἶπε, μή κύριε, μὴ διαψεύσῃ τὴν δούλην σου.
17And the woman conceived, and brought forth a son in the time, and at the same hour, that Eliseus had said.Et concepit mulier, et peperit filium in tempore, et in hora eadem, qua dixerat Eliseus.Καὶ ἐν γαστρὶ ἔλαβεν ἡ γυνή, καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱὸν εἰς τὸν καιρὸν τοῦτον, ὡς ἡ ὥρα, ζῶσα, ὡς ἐλάλησε πρὸς αὐτὴν Ἑλισαιὲ.
18And the child grew. And on a certain day, when he went out to his father to the reapers,Crevit autem puer: et cum esset quaedam dies, et egressus isset ad patrem suum, ad messores,Καὶ ἡδρύνθη τὸ παιδάριον· καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα ἐξῆλθε πρὸς τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ πρὸς τοὺς θερίζοντας,
19He said to his father: My head acheth, my head acheth. But he said to his servant: Take him, and carry him to his mother.ait patri suo: Caput meum doleo, caput meum doleo. At ille dixit puero: Tolle, et duc eum ad matrem suam.καὶ εἶπε πρὸς τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ, τὴν κεφαλήν μου, τὴν κεφαλήν μου· καὶ εἶπε τῷ παιδαρίῳ, ἆρον αὐτὸν πρὸς τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ.
20And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, she set him on her knees until noon, and then he died.Qui cum tulisset, et duxisset eum ad matrem suam, posuit eum illa super genua sua usque ad meridiem, et mortuus est.Καὶ ᾖρεν αὐτὸν πρὸς τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐπὶ τῶν γονάτων αὐτῆς ἕως μεσημβρίας, καὶ ἀπέθανε.
21And she went up and laid him upon the bed of the man of God, and shut the door: and going out,Ascendit autem, et collocavit eum super lectulum hominis Dei, et clausit ostium: et egressa,Καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐκοίμισεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὴν κλίνην τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ· καὶ ἀπέκλεισε κατʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξῆλθε,
22She called her husband, and said: Send with me, I beseech thee, one of thy servants, and an ass that I may run to the man of God, and come again.vocavit virum suum, et ait: Mitte mecum, obsecro, unum de pueris, et asinam, ut excurram usque ad hominem Dei, et revertar.καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς, και εἶπεν, ἀπόστειλον δή μοι ἓν τῶν παιδαρίων καὶ μίαν τῶν ὄνων, καὶ δραμοῦμαι ἕως τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ἐπιστρέψω.
23And he said to her: Why dost thou go to him? today is neither new moon nor sabbath. She answered: I will go.Qui ait illi: Quam ob causam vadis ad eum? hodie non sunt calendae, neque sabbatum. Quae respondit: Vadam.Καὶ εἶπε, τι ὅτι σὺ πορεύῃ πρὸς αὐτὸν σήμερον; οὐ νεομηνία, οὐδὲ σάββατον· ἡ δὲ εἶπεν, εἰρήνη.
24And she saddled an ass, and commanded her servant: Drive, and make haste, make no stay in going. And do that which I bid thee.Stravitque asinam, et praecepit puero: Mina, et propera: ne mihi moram facias in eundo: et hoc age quod praecipio tibi.Καὶ ἐπέσαξε τὴν ὄνον, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς τὸ παιδάριον αὐτῆς, ἄγε, πορεύου, μὴ ἐπίσχῃς μοι τοῦ ἐπιβῆναι ὅτι ἐὰν εἴπω σοι· δεῦρο καὶ πορεύσῃ, καὶ ἐλεύσῃ πρὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦ θεοῦ εἰς ὄρος τὸ Καρμήλιον.
25So she went forward, and came to the man of God to mount Carmel: and when the mall of God saw her coming towards, he said to Giezi his servant: Behold that Sunamitess.Profecta est igitur, et venit ad virum Dei in montem Carmeli: cumque vidisset eam vir Dei e contra, ait ad Giezi puerum suum: Ecce Sunamitis illa.Καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἦλθεν ἕως τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰς τὸ ὄρος· καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἶδεν Ἑλισαιὲ ἐρχομένην αὐτὴν, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς Γιεζὶ τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ, ἰδοὺ δὴ ἡ Σωμανίτις ἐκείνη.
26Go therefore to meet her, and say to her: Is all well with thee, and with thy husband, and with thy son? and she answered: Well.Vade ergo in occursum eius, et dic ei: Recte ne agitur circa te, et circa virum tuum, et circa filium tuum? Quae respondit: Recte.Νῦν δράμε εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐρεῖς, ἡ εἰρήνη σοι; ἡ εἰρήνη τῷ ἀνδρί σου; ἡ εἰρήνη τῷ παιδαρίῳ; ἡ δὲ εἶπεν, εἰρήνη.
27And when she came to the man of God to the mount, she caught hold on his feet: and Giezi came to remove her. And the man of God said: Let her alone for her soul is in anguish, and the Lord hath hid it from me, and hath not told me.Cumque venisset ad virum Dei in montem, apprehendit pedes eius: et accessit Giezi ut amoveret eam. Et ait homo Dei: Dimitte illam: anima enim eius in amaritudine est, et Dominus celavit a me, et non indicavit mihi.Καὶ ἦλθε πρὸς Ἑλισαιὲ εἰς τὸ ὄρος, καὶ ἐπελάβετο τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἤγγιζε Γιεζὶ ἀπώσασθαι αὐτήν. καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιὲ, ἄφες αὐτὴν, ὅτι ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτῆς κατώδυνος αὐτῇ, καὶ Κύριος ἀπέκρυψεν ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἀνήγγειλέ μοι.
28And she said to him: Did I ask a son of my lord? did I not say to thee: Do not deceive me?Quae dixit illi: Numquid petivi filium a domino meo? numquid non dixi tibi: Ne illudas me?Ἡ δὲ εἶπε, μὴ ᾐτησάμην υἱὸν παρὰ τοῦ κυρίου μου; ὅτι οὐκ εἶπα, οὐ πλανήσεις μετʼ ἐμοῦ;
29Then he said to Giezi: Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go. If any man meet thee, salute him not: and if any man salute thee, answer him not: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.Et ille ait ad Giezi: Accinge lumbos tuos, et tolle baculum meum in manu tua, et vade. Si occurrerit tibi homo, non salutes eum: et si salutaverit te quispiam, non respondeas illi: et pones baculum meum super faciem pueri.Καὶ εἶπεν Ἐλισαιὲ τῷ Γιεζί, ζῶσαι τὴν ὀσθύν σου, καὶ λάβε τὴν βακτηρίαν μου ἐν τῇ χειρί σου, καὶ δεῦρο, ὅτι ἐὰν εὕρῃς ἄνδρα οὐκ εὐλογήσεις αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐὰν εὐλογήσῃ σε ἀνὴρ οὐκ ἀποκριθήσῃ αὐτῷ· καὶ ἐπιθήσεις τὴν βακτηρίαν μου ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ παιδαρίου.
30But the mother of the child said: As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. He arose, therefore, and followed her.Porro mater pueri ait: Vivit Dominus, et vivit anima tua, non dimittam te. Surrexit ergo, et secutus est eam.Καὶ εἶπεν ἡ μήτηρ τοῦ παιδαρίου, ζῇ Κύριος καὶ ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου, εἰ ἐνκαταλείψω σε· καὶ ἀνέστη Ἑλισαιὲ, καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὀπίσω αὐτῆς.
31But Giezi was gone before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child, and there was no voice nor sense: and he returned to meet him, and told him, saying: The child is not risen.Giezi autem praecesserat ante eos, et posuerat baculum super faciem pueri, et non erat vox, neque sensus: reversusque est in occursum eius, et nuntiavit ei, dicens: Non surrexit puer.Καὶ Γιεζὶ διῆλθεν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀπέθηκε τὴν βακτηρίαν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ παιδαρίου· καὶ οὐκ ἦν φωνὴ καὶ οὖκ ἦν ἀκρόασις· καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῷ, λέγων, οὐκ ἠγέρθη τὸ παιδάριον.
32Eliseus therefore went into the house, and behold the child lay dead on his bed.Ingressus est ergo Eliseus domum, et ecce puer mortuus iacebat in lectulo eius:Καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἑλισαιὲ εἰς τὸν οἶκον, καὶ ἰδοὺ τὸ παιδάριον τεθνηκός κεκοιμισμένον ἐπὶ τὴν κλίνην αὐτοῦ·
33And going in he shut the door upon him, and upon the child, and prayed to the Lord.ingressusque clausit ostium super se et super puerum, et oravit ad Dominum.Καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἑλισαιὲ εἰς τὸν οἶκον, καὶ ἀπέκλεισε τὴν θύραν κατὰ τῶν δύο ἑαυτῶν, καὶ προσηύξατο πρὸς Κύριον.
34And he went up, and lay upon the child: and he put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he bowed himself upon him, and the child’s flesh grew warm.Et ascendit, et incubuit super puerum: posuitque os suum super os eius, et oculos suos super oculos eius, et manus suas super manus eius: et incurvavit se super eum, et calefacta est caro pueri.Καὶ ἀνέβη καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐπὶ τὸ παιδάριον· καὶ ἔθηκε τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ· καὶ διέκαμψεν ἐπʼ αὐτὸν, καὶ διεθερμάνθη ἡ σὰρξ τοῦ παιδαρίου.
35Then he returned and walked in the house, once to and fro: and he went up, and lay upon him: and the child gaped seven times, and opened his eyes.At ille reversus, deambulavit in domo, semel huc atque illuc: et ascendit, et incubuit super eum: et oscitavit puer septies, aperuitque oculos.Καὶ ἐπέστρεψε, καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν· καὶ ἀνέβη καὶ συνέκαμψεν ἐπὶ τὸ παιδάριον ἕως ἑπτάκις· καὶ ἤνοιξε τὸ παιδάριον τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ.
36And he called Giezi, and said to him: Call this Sunamitess. And she being called, went in to him: and he said: Take up thy son.At ille vocavit Giezi, et dixit ei: Voca Sunamitidem hanc. Quae vocata, ingressa est ad eum. Qui ait: Tolle filium tuum.Καὶ ἐξεβόησεν Ἑλισαιὲ πρὸς Γιεζὶ, καὶ εἶπε, κάλεσον τὴν Σωμανίτην ταύτην· καὶ ἐκάλεσε, καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς αὐτόν· καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιὲ, λάβε τὸν υἱόν σου.
37She came and fell at his feet, and worshipped upon the ground: and took up her son, and went out.Venit illa, et corruit ad pedes eius, et adoravit super terram: tulitque filium suum, et egressa est.Καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἡ γυνὴ, καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ, καὶ προσεκύνησεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν· καὶ ἔλαβε τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐξῆλθε.
38And Eliseus returned to Galgal, and there was a famine in the land, and the sons of the prophets dwelt before him. And he said to one of his servants: Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.Et Eliseus reversus est in Galgala. Erat autem fames in terra, et filii prophetarum habitabant coram eo. Dixitque uni de pueris suis: Pone ollam grandem, et coque pulmentum filiis prophetarum.Καὶ Ἑλισαιὲ ἐπέστρεψεν εἰς Γάλγαλα· καὶ ὁ λιμὸς ἐν τῇ γῇ, καὶ υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν ἐκάθηντο ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιὲ τῷ παιδαρίῳ αὐτοῦ, ἐπίστησον τὸν λέβητα τὸν μέγαν, καὶ ἕψε ἕψεμα τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν προφητῶν.
39And one went out into the field to gather wild herbs: and he found something like a wild vine, and gathered of it wild gourds of the field, and filled his mantle, and coming back he shred them into the pot of pottage, for he knew not what it was.Et egressus est unus in agrum ut colligeret herbas agrestes: invenitque quasi vitem silvestrem, et collegit ex ea colocynthidas agri, et implevit pallium suum, et reversus concidit in ollam pulmenti: nesciebat enim quid esset.Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς τὸν ἀγρὸν συλλέξαι ἀριώθ· καὶ εὗρεν ἄμπελον ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ, καὶ συνέλεξεν ἀπʼ αὐτῆς τολύπην ἀγρίαν πλῆρες τὸ ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐνέβαλεν εἰς τὸν λέβητα τοῦ ἑψέματος, ὅτι οὐκ ἔγνωσαν, καὶ ἐνέχει τοῖς ἀνδράσι φαγεῖν·
40And they poured it out for their companions to eat: and when they had tasted of the pottage, they cried out, saying: Death is in the pot, O man of God. And they could not eat thereof.Infuderunt ergo sociis ut comederent: cumque gustassent de coctione, clamaverunt, dicentes: Mors in olla, vir Dei. Et non potuerunt comedere.καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐσθίειν αὐτοὺς ἐκ τοῦ ἑψέματος, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνεβόησαν, καὶ εἶπαν, θάνατος ἐν τῷ λέβητι, ἄνθρωπε τοῦ Θεοῦ· καὶ οὐκ ἠδύναντο φαγεῖν.
41But he said: Bring some meal. And when they had brought it, he cast it into the pot, and said: Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was now no bitterness in the pot.At ille: Afferte, inquit, farinam. Cumque tulissent, misit in ollam, et ait: Infunde turbae, ut comedant. Et non fuit amplius quidquam amaritudinis in olla.Καὶ εἶπε, λάβετε ἅλευρον, καὶ ἐμβάλετε εἰς τὸν λέβητα· καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιὲ πρὸς Γιεζὶ τὸ παιδάριον, ἔγχει τῷ λαῷ καὶ ἐσθιέτωσαν· καὶ οὐκ ἐγενήθη ἐκεῖ ἔτι ῥῆμα πονηρὸν ἐν τῷ λέβητι.
42And a certain man came from Baalsalisa bringing to the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty leaves of barley, and new corn in his scrip. And he said: Give to the people, that they may eat.Vir autem quidam venit de Baalsalisa deferens viro Dei panes primitiarum, viginti panes hordeaceos, et frumentum novum in pera sua. At ille dixit: Da populo, ut comedat.Καὶ ἀνὴρ διῆλθεν ἐκ Βαιθαρισὰ, καὶ ἤνεγκε πρὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦ Θεοῦ πρωτογεννημάτων εἴκοσι ἄρτους κριθίνους καὶ παλάθας· καὶ εἶπε, δότε τῷ λαῷ καὶ ἐσθιέτωσαν.
43And his servant answered him: How much is this, that I should set it before a hundred men? He said again: Give to the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the Lord: They shall eat, and there shall be left.Responditque ei minister eius: Quantum est hoc, ut apponam centum viris? Rursum ille ait: Da populo, ut comedat: haec enim dicit Dominus: Comedent, et supererit.Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ λειτουργὸς αὐτοῦ, τί δῶ τοῦτο ἐνώπιον ἑκατὸν ἀνδρῶν; καὶ εἶπε, δὸς τῷ λαῷ καὶ ἐσθιέτωσαν, ὅτι τάδε λέγει Κύριος, φάγονται καὶ καταλείψουσι.
44So he set it before them: and they ate, and there was left according to the word of the Lord.Posuit itaque coram eis: qui comederunt, et superfuit iuxta verbum Domini.Καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ κατέλιπον, κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα Κυρίου.

Jesus laments over Jerusalem, which kills the prophets

The same day, there came some of the Pharisees, saying to him: Depart, and get thee hence, for Herod hath a mind to kill thee. And he said to them: Go and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and do cures today and…
