| 4 | But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers. | Pour lui, il alla dans le désert l'espace d'une journée de marche; arrivé là, il s'assit sous un genêt et demanda pour lui la mort, en disant : « C'est assez!

| 5 | And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat. | Il se coucha et s'endormit sous le genêt. Et voici qu'un ange le toucha et lui dit : « Lève-toi, mange. » | And he lay down and slept under a juniper-tree; and, behold, an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat. |
| 6 | And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again. | Il regarda, et voici qu'il y avait à son chevet un gâteau cuit sur des pierres chauffées et une cruche d'eau. Après avoir mangé et bu, il se recoucha. | And he looked, and, behold, there was at his head a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again. |
| 7 | And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee. | L'ange de Yahweh vint une seconde fois, le toucha et dit : « Lève-toi, mange, car le chemin est trop long pour toi. » | And the angel of Jehovah came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for thee. |
| 8 | And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God. | Il se leva, mangea et but, et, avec la force que lui donna cette nourriture, il marcha quarante jours et quarante nuits jusqu'à la montagne de Dieu, à Horeb. | And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God. |
| 9 | And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah? | Là, il entra dans la caverne, et il y passa la nuit.

| 10 | And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. | Il répondit : « J'ai été plein de zèle pour Yahweh, le Dieu des armées; car les enfants d'Israël ont abandonné votre alliance, renversé vos autels, et tué par l'épée vos prophètes; je suis resté moi seul, et ils cherchent à m'ôter la vie. » | And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword: and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. |
| 11 | And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake: | Yahweh dit : « Sors, et tiens-toi dans la montagne devant Yahweh, car voici que Yahweh va passer. » Et il y eut, devant Yahweh, un vent fort et violent qui déchirait les montagnes et brisait les rochers : Yahweh n'était pas dans le vent. Après le vent, il y eut un tremblement de terre : Yahweh n'était pas dans le tremblement de terre. | And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before Jehovah. And, behold, Jehovah passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before Jehovah; but Jehovah was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but Jehovah was not in the earthquake: |
| 12 | And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. | Et après le tremblement de terre, un feu : Yahweh n'était pas dans le feu. Et après le feu, un murmure doux et léger. | and after the earthquake a fire; but Jehovah was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. |
| 13 | And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah? | Quand Elie l'entendit, il s'enveloppa le visage de son manteau et, étant sorti, il se tint à l'entrée de la caverne. Et voici qu'une voix se fit entendre à lui, en disant : « Que fais-tu ici, Elie ? » | And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave.

| 14 | And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. | Il répondit : « J'ai été plein de zèle pour Yahweh, le Dieu des armées; car les enfants d'Israël ont abandonné votre alliance, renversé vos autels et tué par l'épée vos prophètes; je suis resté, moi seul, et ils cherchent à m'ôter la vie! » | And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. |
| 15 | And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria: | Yahweh lui dit : « Va, reprenant ton chemin, au désert de Damas, et, quand tu seras arrivé, tu oindras Hazaël pour roi sur la Syrie; | And Jehovah said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, thou shalt anoint Hazael to be king over Syria; |
| 16 | And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room. | tu oindras Jéhu, fils de Namsi, pour roi sur Israël, et tu oindras Elisée, fils de Saphat, d'Abel-Méhula, pour prophète à ta place. | and Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel; and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room. |
| 17 | And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay. | Et celui qui échappera à l'épée de Hazaël, Jéhu le fera mourir; et celui qui échappera à l'épée de Jéhu, Elisée le fera mourir. | And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth from the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay; and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay. |
| 18 | Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him. | Mais je laisserai en Israël sept mille hommes, savoir tous ceux qui n'ont pas fléchi le genou devant Baal, tous ceux dont la bouche ne l'a point baisé. » | Yet will I leave [me] seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him. |
| 19 | So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. | Etant parti de là, Elie trouva Elisée, fils de Saphat, qui labourait; il y avait devant lui douze paires de boeufs, et il était avec la douzième. Elie s'approcha de lui, et il jeta sur lui son manteau. | So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing, with twelve yoke [of oxen] before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed over unto him, and cast his mantle upon him. |
| 20 | And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? | Elisée, quittant les boeufs, courut après Elie et dit : « Permets que j'embrasse mon père et ma mère, et je te suivrai. » Elie lui répondit : « Va, retourne, car que t'ai-je fait!... » | And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again; for what have I done to thee? |
| 21 | And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him. | Elisée s'éloigna de lui et, ayant pris la paire de boeufs, il les égorgea; et avec le harnais des boeufs, il fit cuire leur chair et la donna à manger au peuple. Puis il se leva, suivit Elie et fut à son service. | And he returned from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him. |
