【王上18:30】 以利亚对众民说,你们到我这里来。众民就到他那里。他便重修已经毁坏耶和华的坛。
And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down.
【王上18:31】 以利亚照雅各子孙支派的数目,取了十二块石头(耶和华的话曾临到雅各说,你的名要叫以色列),
And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be thy name:
【王上18:32】 用这些石头为耶和华的名筑一座坛,在坛的四围挖沟,可容谷种二细亚,
And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.
【王上18:33】 又在坛上摆好了柴,把牛犊切成块子放在柴上,对众人说,你们用四个桶盛满水,倒在燔祭和柴上。
And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood.
【王上18:34】 又说,倒第二次。他们就倒第二次。又说,倒第三次。他们就倒第三次。
And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.
【王上18:35】 水流在坛的四围,沟里也满了水。
And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.
【王上18:36】 到了献晚祭的时候,先知以利亚近前来,说,亚伯拉罕,以撒,以色列的神,耶和华阿,求你今日使人知道你是以色列的神,也知道我是你的仆人,又是奉你的命行这一切事。
And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.
【王上18:37】 耶和华阿,求你应允我,应允我。使这民知道你耶和华是神,又知道是你叫这民的心回转。
Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.
【王上18:38】 于是,耶和华降下火来,烧尽燔祭,木柴,石头,尘土,又烧干沟里的水。
Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
【王上18:39】 众民看见了,就俯伏在地,说,耶和华是神。耶和华是神。
And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God.
