英文	And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.

第2段

中文	以利亚就去，要使亚哈得见他。那时，撒马利亚有大饥荒。
英文	And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. And there was a sore famine in Samaria.

第3段

中文	亚哈将他的家宰俄巴底召了来。俄巴底甚是敬畏耶和华，
英文	And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly:

第4段

中文	耶洗别杀耶和华众先知的时候，俄巴底将一百个先知藏了，每五十人藏在一个洞里，拿饼和水供养他们。
英文	For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)

第5段

中文	亚哈对俄巴底说，我们走遍这地，到一切水泉旁和一切溪边，或者找得着青草，可以救活骡马，免得绝了牲畜。
英文	And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.

英文	And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?

第10段

中文	我指着永生耶和华你的神起誓，无论哪一邦哪一国，我主都打发人去找你。若说你没有在那里，就必使那邦那国的人起誓说，实在是找不着你。
英文	As the LORD thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not.

第11段

中文	现在你说，要去告诉你主人说，以利亚在这里。
英文	And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.

第12段

中文	恐怕我一离开你，耶和华的灵就提你到我所不知道的地方去。这样，我去告诉亚哈，他若找不着你，就必杀我。仆人却是自幼敬畏耶和华的。
英文	And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of the LORD shall carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant fear the LORD from my youth.

第13段

中文	耶洗别杀耶和华众先知的时候，我将耶和华的一百个先知藏了，每五十人藏在一个洞里，拿饼和水供养他们，岂没有人将这事告诉我主吗。
英文	Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid an hundred men of the LORD's prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?

英文	So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah.

第17段

中文	亚哈见了以利亚，便说，使以色列遭灾的就是你吗。
英文	And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?

第18段

中文	以利亚说，使以色列遭灾的不是我，乃是你和你父家。因为你们离弃耶和华的诫命，去随从巴力。
英文	And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim.

第21段

中文	以利亚前来对众民说，你们心持两意要到几时呢。若耶和华是神，就当顺从耶和华。若巴力是神，就当顺从巴力。众民一言不答。
英文	And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.

第22段

中文	以利亚对众民说，作耶和华先知的只剩下我一个人。巴力的先知却有四百五十个人。
英文	Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.

第23段

中文	当给我们两只牛犊，巴力的先知可以挑选一只，切成块子，放在柴上，不要点火。我也预备一只牛犊放在柴上，也不点火。
英文	Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under:

第24段

英文	And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made.

第27段

中文	到了正午，以利亚嬉笑他们，说，大声求告吧。因为他是神，他或默想，或走到一边，或行路，或睡觉，你们当叫醒他。
英文	And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.

第28段
