Καὶ γυνὴ μία ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν τῶν προφητῶν ἐβόα πρὸς Ἐλεισαῖς λέγουσα Ὁ δοῦλός σου ὁ ἀνήρ μου ἀπέθανεν, καὶ σὺ ἔγνως ὅτι δοῦλος ἦν φοβούμενος τὸν κύριον· καὶ ὁ δανειστὴς ἦλθε λαβεῖν
τοὺς δύο υἱούς μου ἑαυτῷ εἰς δούλους.

καὶ εἶπεν Ἐλεισαῖε Τί ποιήσω σοι ; τί ἔστιν σοι ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ ; ἡ · δὲ εἶπεν Οὐκ έστιν τῇ
δούλη σου οὐθὲν ὄτι ἁλλ’ ἢ ὃ ἀλείψομαι ἔλαιον.

καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτήν Δεῦρο αἴτησον σαυτῇ σκεύη ἔξωθεν παρὰ πάντων τῶν γειτόνων,
σκεύη κενά· μὴ ὀλιγώσῃς.

καὶ εἰσελεύσῃ καὶ ἀποκλείσεις τὴν θύραν κατὰ σοῦ καὶ κατὰ τῶν υἱῶν σου, καὶ ἀποχεεῖς εἰς τὰ
σκεύη ταῦτα· καὶ τὸ πληρωθὲν ἀρεῖς.

καὶ ἀπῆλθεν παρ’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπέκλεισεν τὴν θύραν κατ’ αὐτῆς καὶ κατὰ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοὶ προσήγγιζον πρὸς αὐτήν, καὶ αὐτὴ ἐπέχεεν 6 ἔως ἐπλήσθησ
τὰ σκεύη.

καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῆς Ἐγγίσατε ἔτι πρὸς τὸ σκεῦος. καὶ εἶπον αὐτῇ Οὐκ ἔστιν ἔτι σκεῦος· καὶ ἔστη τὸ ¹³

καὶ ἦλθεν καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ θεοῦ· καὶ εἶπεν Ἐλεισαῖε
Δεῦρο καὶ ἀπόδου τὸ ἔλαιον καὶ ἀποτίσεις τοὺς τόκους σου, καὶ σὺ καὶ οἱ υἱοί σου ζήσεσθε ἐν τῷ ἐπιλοίπῳ ἐλαίῳ.

Καὶ ἐγένετο ἡμέρα καὶ διέβη Ἐλεισαῖε εἰς Σουμάν, καὶ ἐκεῖ γυνὴ
μεγάλη καὶ ἐκράτησεν αὐτὸν φαγεῖν ἄρτον· καὶ ἐγένετο ἀφ’ ἱκανοῦ τοῦ εἰσπορεύεσθαι αὐτὸν ἐξέκλινεν τοῦ ἐκεῖ φαγεῖν.

κα εἶπεν ἡ
γυνὴ πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς Ἰδουὺ δὴ ἔγνων ὅτι ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ἄγιος οὗτος διαπορεύεται ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς διὰ παντός.

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.

καὶ ἐγένετο ἡμέρα καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἐξέκλινεν
εἰς τὸ ὑπερῷον καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐκεῖ.

καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς Γιεζεὶ
τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ Κάλεσόν μοι τὴν Σωμανεῖτιν ταύτην· καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτήν, καὶ ἔστη ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ.

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Εἰπὸν δὴ πρὸς
αὐτήν Ἰδοὺ ἐξέστησας ἡμῖν τὴν πᾶσαν ἔνκτησιν· τί δεῖ ποιῆσαί σοι ; εἰ ἔστιν λόγος σοι πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα ἢ πρὸς τὸν ἄρχοντα τῆς δυνά- μεως ; ἡ δὲ εἶπεν Ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ λαοῦ ἐγώ εἰμι οἰκῶ.

καὶ εἶπεν
Tt δεῖ ποιῆσαι αὐτῇ; καὶ εἶπεν Γιεζεὶ τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ Καὶ μάλα υἱὸς οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτῇ, καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς πρεσβύτης.

καὶ ἐκάλεσεν
αὐτήν, καὶ ἔστη παρὰ τὴν θύραν.

καὶ εἶπεν Ἐλεισαῖε πρὸς αὐτήν
Εἰς τὸν καιρὸν τοῦτον, ὡς ἢ ὥρα ζῶσα, σὺ περιειληφυῖα υἱόν· ἡ δὲ εἶπεν Μή, κύριε μου, μὴ διαψεύσῃ τὴν δούλην σου.

καὶ ἐν γαστρὶ
ἔλαβεν ἡ γυνή, καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱὸν εἰς τὸν καιρὸν τοῦτον ὡς ἡ ὤρα ζῶσα, ὡς ἐλάλησεν πρὸς αὐτὴν Ἐλεισαῖε.

καὶ ἡδρύνθη τὸ παιδάριον·
καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα ἐξῆλθεν πρὸς τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ πρὸς τοὺς θερίζοντας,

καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ Τὴν κεφαλήν μου, τὴν
κεφαλήν μου· καὶ εἶπεν τῷ παιδαρίῳ Ἆρον αὐτὸν πρὸς τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ.

καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐπὶ τῶν γονάτων αὐτῆς ἔως μεσημβρίας, καὶ
ἀπέθανεν.

καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐκοίμισεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὴν κλίνην
τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ ἀπέκλεισεν κατ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξῆλθεν.

καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπεν Ἀπόστειλον δή μοι ἔν
τῶν παιδαρίων καὶ μίαν τῶν ὄνων, καὶ δραμοῦμαι ἕως τοῦ ἀ ⁴⁵
τοῦ θεοῦ κοὶ ἐπιστρέψω.

καὶ εἶπεν Τί ὄτι σὺ πορεύῃ πρὸς αὐτὸν
σήμερον; οὐ νεομηνία οὐδὲ σάββατον· ἡ δὲ εἶπεν Εἰρήνη.

καὶ ἐπέσαξεν τὴν ὄνον, καὶ εἶπεν 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 τὸ ὄρος τὸ Καρμήλιον. καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἶδεν Ἐλεισῖε ἐρχομένην αὐτήν, καὶ εἶπεν π·ρὸς
Γιεζεὶ τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ Ἰδοὺ δὴ ἡ Σωμανεῖτις ἐκείνη.

νῦν δράμε εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτῆς καὶ ἐρεῖς Ἥ εἰρήνη σοι; ἢ εἰρήνη τῷ ἀνδρί
σου; ἡ εἰρήνη τῷ παιδαρίῳ; ἡ δὲ εἶπεν Εἰρήνη.

καὶ ἦλθεν πρὸς Ἐλεισαῖε εἰς τὸ ὄρος καὶ ἐπελάβετο τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἤγγισεν Γιεζεὶ ἀπεώσασθαι αὐτήν. καὶ εἶπεν Ἐλεισαῖε Ἄφες αὐτήν· ὄτι ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτῆς κατώδυνος αὐτῇ, καὶ Κύριος ἀπέκρυψεν ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ καὶ
σοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἀνήγγε3ιλέν μοι.

ἡ δὲ εἶπεν Μὴ ᾐτησάμην υἱὸν παρὰ
τοῦ κυρίου μου; ὄτι οὐκ εἶπα Οὐ πλανήσεις μετ’ ἐμοῦ;

καὶ Ἐλεισῖε τῷ Γιεζεί Ζῶσαι τὴν ὀσφύν σου καὶ λάβε τὴν μου ἐν τῇ χειρί σου καὶ δεῦρο· ὄτι ἐὰν εὕρῃς ἄνδρα οὐκ αὐτόν, καὶ ἐὰν εὐλογήσῃ σε ἀνὴρ οὐκ ἀποκριθήσῃ αὐτῷ· καὶ ἐπιθήσεις
θήσεις τὴν βακτηρίαν μου ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ παιδαρίου.

καὶ εἶπεν ἡ μήτηρ τοῦ παιδαρίου Ζῇ Κύριος καὶ ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου, εἰ ἐνκαταλείψω
σε. καὶ ἀνέστη Ἐλεισαῖε καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὀπίσω αὐτῆς.

καὶ Γιεζεὶ διῆλθεν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐπέθηκεν τὴν βακτηρίαν ἐπὶ ωπον τοῦ παιδαρίου, καὶ οὐκ ἦν φωνὴ καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἀκρόασις· καὶ στρεψεν εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῷ λέγων Οὐκ ἠ
τὸ παιδάριον.

καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἐλεισαῖε εἰς τὸν οἶκον, καὶ ἰδοὺ τὸ
παιδάριον τεθνηκώς, κεκοιμισμένον ἐπὶ τὴν κλίνην αὐτοῦ.

καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἐλεισαῖε εἰς τὸν οἶκον καὶ ἀπέκλεισεν τὴν θύραν κατὰ
τῶν δύο ἑαυτῶν, καὶ προσηύξατο πρὸς Κύριον.

καὶ ἀνέβη καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐπὶ τὸ παιδάριον, καὶ ἔθηκεν 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 ἐπ’ αὐτόν· καὶ διεθερμάνθη ἡ σὰρξ τοῦ παιδαρίου.

καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν, καὶ ἀνέβη καὶ συνέκαμψεν ἐπὶ τὸ ⁶⁸ παιδάριον ἑπτάκις· ἑπτάκις· καὶ ἤνοιξεν τὸ παιδάριον τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ.

καὶ ἐξεβόησεν Ἐλεισαῖε πρὸς Γιεζεὶ καὶ εἶπεν Κάλεσον
τὴν Σωμανεῖτιν ταύτην· καὶ ἐκάλεσεν, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτόν. καὶ εἶπεν Ἐλεισαῖε Λάβε τὸν υἱόν σου.

καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἡ γυνὴ καὶ ἔπεσεν
ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ καὶ προσεκύνησεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ ἔλαβεν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς καὶ ἐξῆλθεν.

Καὶ Ἐλεισαῖε ἐπέστρεψεν εἰς Γάλγαλα· καὶ ὁ λιμὸς ἐν τῇ γῇ, καὶ
οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν ἐκάθηντο ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἰπεν Ἐλεισααῖε τῷ παιδαρίῳ αὐτοῦ Ἐπίστησον τὸν λέβητα, καὶ ἕψε ἕψεμα τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν προφητῶν.

καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐξῆλθεν εἰς τὸν ἀγρὸν συνλέξαι ἀριώθ· καὶ εὗρεν
ἄμπελου ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ, καὶ συνέλεξεν ἀπ’ αὐτῆς τολύπην ἀγρίαν πλῆρες τὸ ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐνέβαλεν εἰς τὸν λέβητα τοῦ ἑψέματος, ὄτι οὐκ ἔγνωσαν.

καὶ ἐνέχει τοῖς ἀνδράσιν φαγεῖν· 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.

καὶ εἶπεν Λἀβετε αλευρον καὶ ἐμβάλετε εἰς τὸν λέβητα· καὶ εἶπεν
Ἐλεισαῖε πρὸς Γιεζεὶ τὸ παιδάριον Ἕγχει τῷ λαῷ καὶ ἐσθιέτωσαν· καὶ οὐκ ἐγενήθη ἔτι ἐκεῖ ῥῆμα πονηρὸν ἐν τῷ λέβητι.

Καὶ
ἀνὴρ διῆλθεν ἐκ Βαιθσαρεῖσα καὶ ἥνεγκεν πρὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦ θεοῦ πρωτογενημάτων εἴκοσι ἄρτους κριθίνους καὶ παλάθας· καὶ εἶπεν Δότε τῷ λαῷ καὶ ἐσθιέτωσαν.

καὶ εἶπεν ὁ λειτουργὸς αὐτοῦ Τί; δῶ
τοῦτο ἐνώπιον ἑκατὸν ἀνδρῶν ; καὶ εἶπεν Δὸς τῷ λαῷ καὶ ἐσθιέτωσαν, ὄτι τάδε λέγει Φάγονται Φάγονται καὶ καταλείψουσιν.

καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ
κατέλιπον κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα Κυρίου.

Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets to Elisha, saying, Your servant my husband is dead; and you know that your servant did fear Yahweh: and the creditor is come to take to him my two children to be bondservants.

Elisha said to her, What shall I do for you? tell me; what have you in the house? She said, Your handmaid has nothing in the house, except a pot of oil.

Then he said, Go, borrow you vessels abroad of all your neighbors, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.

You shall go in, and shut the door on you and on your sons, and pour out into all those vessels; and you shall set aside that which is full.

So she went from him, and shut the door on her and on her sons; they brought [the vessels] to her, and she poured out.

It happened, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, Bring me yet a vessel. He said to her, There isn’t another vessel. The oil stayed.

Then she came and told the man of God. He said, Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt, and live you and your sons of the rest.

It fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. So it was, that as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat bread.

She said to her husband, See now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God, that passes by us continually.

Let us make, Please, a little chamber on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a seat, and a lamp stand: and it shall be, when he comes to us, that he shall turn in there.

It fell on a day, that he came there, and he turned into the chamber and lay there.

He said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. When he had called her, she stood before him.

He said to him, Say now to her, Behold, you have been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for you? would you be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? She answered, I dwell among my own people.

He said, What then is to be done for her? Gehazi answered, Most assuredly she has no son, and her husband is old.

He said, Call her. When he had called her, she stood in the door.

He said, At this season, when the time comes round, you shall embrace a son. She said, No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your handmaid.

The woman conceived, and bore a son at that season, when the time came round, as Elisha had said to her.

When the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.

He said to his father, My head, my head. He said to his servant, Carry him to his mother.

When he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees until noon, and then died.

She went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut [the door] on him, and went out.

She called to her husband, and said, Please send me one of the servants, and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.

He said, Why will you go to him today? it is neither new moon nor Sabbath. She said, It shall be well.

Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; don’t slacken me the riding, except I bid you.

So she went, and came to the man of God to Mount Carmel. It happened, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is the Shunammite:

please run now to meet her, and ask her, Is it well with you? is it well with your husband? is it well with the child? She answered, It is well.

When she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. Gehazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, Let her alone: for her soul is vexed within her; and Yahweh has hid it from me, and has not told me.

Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? Didn’t I say, Do not deceive me?

Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up your loins, and take my staff in your hand, and go your way: if you meet any man, Don’t greet him; and if anyone greets you, don’t answer him again: and lay my staff on the face of the child.

The mother of the child said, As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. He arose, and followed her.

Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff on the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Therefore he returned to meet him, and told him, saying, The child has not awakened.

When Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid on his bed.

He went in therefore, and shut the door on them both, and prayed to Yahweh.

He went up, and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands: and he stretched himself on him; and the flesh of the child grew warm.

Then he returned, and walked in the house once back and forth; and went up, and stretched himself on him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.

He called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. When she was come in to him, he said, Take up your son.

Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground; and she took up her son, and went out.

Elisha came again to Gilgal. There was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he said to his servant, Set on the great pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets.

One went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered of it wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of stew; for they didn’t recognize them.

So they poured out for the men to eat. It happened, as they were eating of the stew, that they cried out, and said, man of God, there is death in the pot. They could not eat of it.

But he said, Then bring meal. He cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. There was no harm in the pot.

There came a man from Baal Shalishah, and brought the man of God bread of the first fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of grain in his sack. He said, Give to the people, that they may eat.

His servant said, What, should I set this before a hundred men? But he said, Give the people, that they may eat; for thus says Yahweh, They shall eat, and shall leave of it.

So he set it before them, and they ate, and left of it, according to the word of Yahweh.
