Elijah — Симфония — New Living Translation

1Kgs 17:1

1 Now Elijah, who was from Tishbe in Gilead, told King Ahab, “As surely as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives — the God I serve — there will be no dew or rain during the next few years until I give the word!”

1Kgs 17:2

Then the LORD said to Elijah,

1Kgs 17:5

So Elijah did as the LORD told him and camped beside Kerith Brook, east of the Jordan.

1Kgs 17:8

8 Then the LORD said to Elijah,

1Kgs 17:13

But Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid! Go ahead and do just what you’ve said, but make a little bread for me first. Then use what’s left to prepare a meal for yourself and your son.

1Kgs 17:15

So she did as Elijah said, and she and Elijah and her family continued to eat for many days.

1Kgs 17:16

There was always enough flour and olive oil left in the containers, just as the LORD had promised through Elijah.

1Kgs 17:18

Then she said to Elijah, “O man of God, what have you done to me? Have you come here to point out my sins and kill my son?”

1Kgs 17:19

But Elijah replied, “Give me your son.” And he took the child’s body from her arms, carried him up the stairs to the room where he was staying, and laid the body on his bed.

1Kgs 17:20

Then Elijah cried out to the LORD, “O LORD my God, why have you brought tragedy to this widow who has opened her home to me, causing her son to die?”

1Kgs 17:22

The LORD heard Elijah’s prayer, and the life of the child returned, and he revived!

1Kgs 17:23

Then Elijah brought him down from the upper room and gave him to his mother. “Look!” he said. “Your son is alive!”

1Kgs 17:24

Then the woman told Elijah, “Now I know for sure that you are a man of God, and that the LORD truly speaks through you.”

1Kgs 18:1

1 Later on, in the third year of the drought, the LORD said to Elijah, “Go and present yourself to King Ahab. Tell him that I will soon send rain!”

1Kgs 18:2

So Elijah went to appear before Ahab. Meanwhile, the famine had become very severe in Samaria.

1Kgs 18:7

As Obadiah was walking along, he suddenly saw Elijah coming toward him. Obadiah recognized him at once and bowed low to the ground before him. “Is it really you, my lord Elijah?” he asked.

1Kgs 18:8

“Yes, it is,” Elijah replied. “Now go and tell your master, ‘Elijah is here.’”

1Kgs 18:10

For I swear by the LORD your God that the king has searched every nation and kingdom on earth from end to end to find you. And each time he was told, ‘Elijah isn’t here,’ King Ahab forced the king of that nation to swear to the truth of his claim.

1Kgs 18:11

And now you say, ‘Go and tell your master, “Elijah is here.”’

1Kgs 18:14

And now you say, ‘Go and tell your master, “Elijah is here.”’ Sir, if I do that, Ahab will certainly kill me.”

1Kgs 18:15

But Elijah said, “I swear by the LORD Almighty, in whose presence I stand, that I will present myself to Ahab this very day.”

1Kgs 18:16

So Obadiah went to tell Ahab that Elijah had come, and Ahab went out to meet Elijah.

1Kgs 18:18

“I have made no trouble for Israel,” Elijah replied. “You and your family are the troublemakers, for you have refused to obey the commands of the LORD and have worshiped the images of Baal instead.

1Kgs 18:21

Then Elijah stood in front of them and said, “How much longer will you waver, hobbling between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him! But if Baal is God, then follow him!” But the people were completely silent.

1Kgs 18:22

Then Elijah said to them, “I am the only prophet of the LORD who is left, but Baal has 450 prophets.

1Kgs 18:25

Then Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “You go first, for there are many of you. Choose one of the bulls, and prepare it and call on the name of your god. But do not set fire to the wood.”

1Kgs 18:27

About noontime Elijah began mocking them. “You’ll have to shout louder,” he scoffed, “for surely he is a god! Perhaps he is daydreaming, or is relieving himself. Or maybe he is away on a trip, or is asleep and needs to be wakened!”

1Kgs 18:30

Then Elijah called to the people, “Come over here!” They all crowded around him as he repaired the altar of the LORD that had been torn down.

1Kgs 18:36

At the usual time for offering the evening sacrifice, Elijah the prophet walked up to the altar and prayed, “O LORD, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, prove today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant. Prove that I have done all this at your command.

1Kgs 18:40

Then Elijah commanded, “Seize all the prophets of Baal. Don’t let a single one escape!” So the people seized them all, and Elijah took them down to the Kishon Valley and killed them there.

1Kgs 18:41

41 Then Elijah said to Ahab, “Go get something to eat and drink, for I hear a mighty rainstorm coming!”

1Kgs 18:42

So Ahab went to eat and drink. But Elijah climbed to the top of Mount Carmel and bowed low to the ground and prayed with his face between his knees.

1Kgs 18:43

Then he said to his servant, “Go and look out toward the sea.” The servant went and looked, then returned to Elijah and said, “I didn’t see anything.” Seven times Elijah told him to go and look.

1Kgs 18:44

Finally the seventh time, his servant told him, “I saw a little cloud about the size of a man’s hand rising from the sea.” Then Elijah shouted, “Hurry to Ahab and tell him, ‘Climb into your chariot and go back home. If you don’t hurry, the rain will stop you!’”

1Kgs 18:46

Then the LORD gave special strength to Elijah. He tucked his cloak into his belt and ran ahead of Ahab’s chariot all the way to the entrance of Jezreel.

1Kgs 19:1

1 When Ahab got home, he told Jezebel everything Elijah had done, including the way he had killed all the prophets of Baal.

1Kgs 19:2

So Jezebel sent this message to Elijah: “May the gods strike me and even kill me if by this time tomorrow I have not killed you just as you killed them.”

1Kgs 19:3

Elijah was afraid and fled for his life. He went to Beersheba, a town in Judah, and he left his servant there.

1Kgs 19:9

There he came to a cave, where he spent the night.But the LORD said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

1Kgs 19:10

Elijah replied, “I have zealously served the LORD God Almighty. But the people of Israel have broken their covenant with you, torn down your altars, and killed every one of your prophets. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me, too.”

1Kgs 19:11

“Go out and stand before me on the mountain,” the LORD told him. And as Elijah stood there, the LORD passed by, and a mighty windstorm hit the mountain. It was such a terrible blast that the rocks were torn loose, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake.

1Kgs 19:13

When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. And a voice said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

1Kgs 19:19

19 So Elijah went and found Elisha son of Shaphat plowing a field. There were twelve teams of oxen in the field, and Elisha was plowing with the twelfth team. Elijah went over to him and threw his cloak across his shoulders and then walked away.

1Kgs 19:20

Elisha left the oxen standing there, ran after Elijah, and said to him, “First let me go and kiss my father and mother good-bye, and then I will go with you!” Elijah replied, “Go on back, but think about what I have done to you.”

1Kgs 19:21

So Elisha returned to his oxen and slaughtered them. He used the wood from the plow to build a fire to roast their flesh. He passed around the meat to the townspeople, and they all ate. Then he went with Elijah as his assistant.

1Kgs 21:17

But the LORD said to Elijah,

1Kgs 21:20

“So, my enemy, you have found me!” Ahab exclaimed to Elijah. “Yes,” Elijah answered, “I have come because you have sold yourself to what is evil in the LORD’s sight.

1Kgs 21:28

Then another message from the LORD came to Elijah:

2Kgs 1:3

But the angel of the LORD told Elijah, who was from Tishbe, “Go and confront the messengers of the king of Samaria and ask them, ‘Is there no God in Israel? Why are you going to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, to ask whether the king will recover?

2Kgs 1:4

Now, therefore, this is what the LORD says: You will never leave the bed you are lying on; you will surely die.’” So Elijah went to deliver the message.
