KJV ⁸ And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.

VULC ⁸ Facta est autem quædam dies, et transibat Eliseus per Sunam : erat autem ibi mulier magna, quæ tenuit eum ut comederet panem : cumque frequenter inde transiret, divertebat ad eam ut comederet panem.

KJV ⁹ And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.

VULC ⁹ Quæ dixit ad virum suum : Animadverto quod vir Dei sanctus est iste, qui transit per nos frequenter.

KJV ¹⁰ Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.

VULC ¹⁰ Faciamus ergo ei cœnaculum parvum, et ponamus ei in eo lectulum, et mensam, et sellam, et candelabrum, ut cum venerit ad nos, maneat ibi.

KJV ¹¹ And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there.

VULC ¹¹ Facta est ergo dies quædam, et veniens divertit in cœnaculum, et requievit ibi.

KJV ¹² And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.

VULC ¹² Dixitque ad Giezi puerum suum : Voca Sunamitidem istam. Qui cum vocasset eam, et illa stetisset coram eo,

KJV ¹³ And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.

VULC ¹³ dixit ad puerum suum : Loquere ad eam : Ecce, sedule in omnibus ministrasti nobis : quid vis ut faciam tibi ? numquid habes negotium, et vis ut loquar regi, sive principi militiæ ? Quæ respondit : In medio populi mei habito.

KJV ¹⁴ And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old.

VULC ¹⁴ Et ait : Quid ergo vult ut faciam ei ? Dixitque Giezi : Ne quæras : filium enim non habet, et vir ejus senex est.

KJV ¹⁵ And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.

VULC ¹⁵ Præcepit itaque ut vocaret eam : quæ cum vocata fuisset, et stetisset ante ostium,

KJV ¹⁶ And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.

VULC ¹⁶ dixit ad eam : In tempore isto, et in hac eadem hora, si vita comes fuerit, habebis in utero filium. At illa respondit : Noli quæso, domine mi vir Dei, noli mentiri ancillæ tuæ.

KJV ¹⁷ And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life.

VULC ¹⁷ Et concepit mulier, et peperit filium in tempore, et in hora eadem, qua dixerat Eliseus.

KJV ¹⁸ And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.

VULC ¹⁸ Crevit autem puer : et cum esset quædam dies, et egressus isset ad patrem suum, ad messores,

KJV ¹⁹ And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother.

VULC ¹⁹ ait patri suo : Caput meum doleo, caput meum doleo. At ille dixit puero : Tolle, et duc eum ad matrem suam.

KJV ²⁰ And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.

VULC ²⁰ Qui cum tulisset, et duxisset eum ad matrem suam, posuit eum illa super genua sua usque ad meridiem, et mortuus est.

KJV ²¹ And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out.

VULC ²¹ Ascendit autem, et collocavit eum super lectulum hominis Dei, et clausit ostium : et egressa,

KJV ²² And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.

VULC ²² vocavit virum suum, et ait : Mitte mecum, obsecro, unum de pueris, et asinam, ut excurram usque ad hominem Dei, et revertar.

KJV ²³ And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.

VULC ²³ Qui ait illi : Quam ob causam vadis ad eum ? hodie non sunt calendæ, neque sabbatum. Quæ respondit : Vadam.

KJV ²⁴ Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee.

VULC ²⁴ Stravitque asinam, et præcepit puero : Mina, et propera : ne mihi moram facias in eundo : et hoc age quod præcipio tibi.

KJV ²⁵ So she went and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite:

VULC ²⁵ Profecta est igitur, et venit ad virum Dei in montem Carmeli : cumque vidisset eam vir Dei e contra, ait ad Giezi puerum suum : Ecce Sunamitis illa.

KJV ²⁶ Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well:

VULC ²⁶ Vade ergo in occursum ejus, et dic ei : Recte ne agitur circa te, et circa virum tuum, et circa filium tuum ? Quæ respondit : Recte.

KJV ²⁷ And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is vexed within her: and the LORD hath hid it from me, and hath not told me.

VULC ²⁷ Cumque venisset ad virum Dei in montem, apprehendit pedes ejus : et accessit Giezi ut amoveret eam. Et ait homo Dei : Dimitte illam : anima enim ejus in amaritudine est, et Dominus celavit a me, et non indicavit mihi.

KJV ²⁸ Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?

VULC ²⁸ Quæ dixit illi : Numquid petivi filium a domino meo ? numquid non dixi tibi : Ne illudas me ?

KJV ²⁹ Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.

VULC ²⁹ 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.

KJV ³⁰ And the mother of the child said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her.

VULC ³⁰ Porro mater pueri ait : Vivit Dominus, et vivit anima tua, non dimittam te. Surrexit ergo, et secutus est eam.

KJV ³¹ And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.

VULC ³¹ Giezi autem præcesserat ante eos, et posuerat baculum super faciem pueri, et non erat vox, neque sensus : reversusque est in occursum ejus, et nuntiavit ei, dicens : Non surrexit puer.

KJV ³² And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.

VULC ³² Ingressus est ergo Eliseus domum, et ecce puer mortuus jacebat in lectulo ejus :

KJV ³³ He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the LORD.

VULC ³³ ingressusque clausit ostium super se et super puerum, et oravit ad Dominum.

KJV 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 stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.

VULC ³⁴ Et ascendit, et incubuit super puerum : posuitque os suum super os ejus, et oculos suos super oculos ejus, et manus suas super manus ejus : et incurvavit se super eum, et calefacta est caro pueri.

KJV ³⁵ Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.

VULC ³⁵ At ille reversus, deambulavit in domo, semel huc atque illuc : et ascendit, et incubuit super eum : et oscitavit puer septies, aperuitque oculos.

KJV ³⁶ And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son.

VULC ³⁶ At ille vocavit Giezi, et dixit ei : Voca Sunamitidem hanc. Quæ vocata, ingressa est ad eum. Qui ait : Tolle filium tuum.

KJV ³⁷ Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out.

VULC ³⁷ Venit illa, et corruit ad pedes ejus, et adoravit super terram : tulitque filium suum, et egressa est.
