| 4 | 1 | Now 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 Heliseum 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 |
| 4 | 2 | And Eliseus said to her: What wilt thou have me 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 Heliseus quid vis ut faciam tibi dic mihi quid habes in domo tua at illa respondit non habeo ancilla tua quicquam in domo mea nisi parum olei quo unguear |
| 4 | 3 | And 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 |
| 4 | 4 | And 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 cum intrinsecus fueris tu et filii tui et mitte inde in omnia vasa haec et cum plena fuerint tolles |
| 4 | 5 | So 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 clusit ostium super se et super filios suos illi offerebant vasa et illa infundebat |
| 4 | 6 | And 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 adfer mihi adhuc vas et ille respondit non habeo stetitque oleum |
| 4 | 7 | And 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 |
| 4 | 8 | And 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 transiebat Heliseus per Sunam erat autem ibi mulier magna quae tenuit eum ut comederet panem cumque frequenter inde transiret devertebat ad eam ut comederet panem |
| 4 | 9 | And 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 |
| 4 | 10 | Let 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 cenaculum parvum et ponamus ei in eo lectulum et mensam et sellam et candelabrum ut cum venerit ad nos maneat ibi |
| 4 | 11 | Now, there was a certain day, when he came, and turned into the chamber, and rested there. | facta est igitur dies quaedam et veniens devertit in cenaculum et requievit ibi |
| 4 | 12 | And 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 Sunamitin istam qui cum vocasset eam et illa stetisset coram eo |
| 4 | 13 | He 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 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 |
| 4 | 14 | And 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 |
| 4 | 15 | Then 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 ad ostium |
| 4 | 16 | He said to her: At this time, and this same hour, if life be in company, 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 |
| 4 | 17 | And 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 quam dixerat Heliseus |
| 4 | 18 | And 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 |
| 4 | 19 | He 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 caput meum at ille dixit puero tolle et duc eum ad matrem suam |
| 4 | 20 | And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, she sat him on her knees, until noon, and then he died. | qui cum tulisset et adduxisset eum ad matrem suam posuit eum illa super genua sua usque ad meridiem et mortuus est |
| 4 | 21 | And she went up, and laid him upon the bed of the man of God, and shut the door: and going out, | ascendit autem et conlocavit eum super lectulum hominis Dei et clusit ostium et egressa |
| 4 | 22 | She 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 |
| 4 | 23 | And he said to her: Why dost thou go to him? to day is neither new moon nor sabbath. She answered: I will go. | qui ait illi quam ob causam vadis ad eum hodie non sunt kalendae neque sabbatum quae respondit vale |
| 4 | 24 | And 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 |
| 4 | 25 | So she went forward, and came to the man of God, to mount Carmel: and when the man 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 de contra ait ad Giezi puerum suum ecce Sunamitis illa |
| 4 | 26 | Go, 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 rectene agitur circa te et circa virum tuum et circa filium tuum quae respondit recte |
| 4 | 27 | And 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 monte adprehendit pedes eius et accessit Giezi ut amoveret eam et ait homo Dei dimitte illam anima enim eius in amaritudine est et Dominus celavit me et non indicavit mihi |
| 4 | 28 | And 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 inludas me |
| 4 | 29 | Then 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 |
| 4 | 30 | But 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 |
| 4 | 31 | But 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 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 |
| 4 | 32 | Eliseus, therefore, went into the house, and behold the child lay dead on his bed: | ingressus est ergo Heliseus domum et ecce puer mortuus iacebat in lectulo eius |
| 4 | 33 | And going in, he shut the door upon him, and upon the child, and prayed to the Lord. | ingressusque clusit ostium super se et puerum et oravit ad Dominum |
| 4 | 34 | And he went up, and lay upon the child: and 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 |
| 4 | 35 | Then 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 et illuc et ascendit et incubuit super eum et oscitavit puer septies aperuitque oculos |
| 4 | 36 | And 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. | et ille vocavit Giezi et dixit ei voca Sunamitin hanc quae vocata ingressa est ad eum qui ait tolle filium tuum |
| 4 | 37 | She 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 |
| 4 | 38 | And 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 Heliseus 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 |
| 4 | 39 | And 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 colocyntidas agri et implevit pallium suum et reversus concidit in ollam pulmenti nesciebat enim quid esset |
| 4 | 40 | And 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 exclamaverunt dicentes mors in olla vir Dei et non potuerunt comedere |
| 4 | 41 | But 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 adferte inquit farinam et misit in ollam et ait infunde turbae et comedat et non fuit amplius quicquam amaritudinis in olla |
| 4 | 42 | And a certain man came from Baalsalisa, bringing to the man of God, bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and new corn in his scrip. And he said: Give to the people, that they may eat. | vir autem quidam venit de Balsalisa deferens viro Dei panes primitiarum et viginti panes hordiacios et frumentum novum in pera sua at ille dixit da populo ut comedat |
| 4 | 43 | And 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 adponam coram centum viris rursum ille da ait populo ut comedat haec enim dicit Dominus comedent et supererit |
| 4 | 44 | So 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 |
