And she said to her husband: I perceive that this is a holy man of God, who often passeth by us. | |

He said to his servant: Say to her Behold thou hast diligently served us in all things, what wilt thou have me to de for thee? hast thou any business, and wilt thou that I speak to the king, or to the general of the army? And she answered: I dwell in the midst of my own people. | |
| 14 | Et ait: Quid ergo vult ut faciam ei? Dixitque Giezi: Ne quæras: filium enim non habet, et vir ejus senex est. |
And he seide, What therfor wole sche that Y do to hir? Giezi seide to hym, Axe thou not, for she hath no sone, and hir hosebonde is eeld. |
And he said : What will she then that I do for her? And Giezi said: Do not ask, for she hath no son, and her husband is old. | |

He said to her: At this time, and this same hour, if life accompany, thou shalt have a son in thy womb. But she answered: Do not, I beseech thee, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie to thy handmaid. | |

And the womman conseyuede, and childide a sone in the tyme, and in the same our, in which Elisee hadde seid. |

Sotheli the child encreeside; and whanne sum day was, and the child was goon out, and yede to his fadir, |
And the child grew. And on a certain day, when he went out to his father to the reapers, | |

and to the repers, he seide to his fadir, Myn heed akith, myn heed akith. And he seide to a child, Take, and lede hym to his modir. |
He said to his father: My head acheth, my head acheth. But he said to his servant: Take him, and carry him to his mother. | |
| 20 | Qui cum tulisset, et duxisset eum ad matrem suam, posuit eum illa super genua sua usque ad meridiem, et mortuus est. |
And whanne he hadde take, and hadde brouyt hym to his modir, sche settide hym on hir knees til to myddai, and he was deed. |
And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, she set him on her knees until noon, and then he died. | |

Sotheli she stiede, and leide hym on the litil bed of the man of God, and closide the dore. |
And she went up and laid him upon the bed of the man of God, and shut the door: and going out, | |
| 22 | vocavit virum suum, et ait: Mitte mecum, obsecro, unum de pueris, et asinam, ut excurram usque ad hominem Dei, et revertar. |
And sche yede out, and clepide hir hosebonde, and seide, Y biseche, sende thou with me oon of the children, and an asse, and Y schal renne out til to the man of God, and Y schal turne ayen. |
She called her husband, and said: Send with me, I beseech thee, one of thy servants, and an ass that I may run to the man of God, and come again. | |

And he said to her: Why dost thou go to him? to day is neither new moon nor sabbath. She answered: I will go. | |
| 24 | Stravitque asinam, et præcepit puero: Mina, et propera: ne mihi moram facias in eundo: et hoc age quod præcipio tibi. |
And sche sadlide the asse, and comaundide to the child, Dryue thou, and haaste; make thou not tariyng to me in goyng, and do thou this thing which Y comaunde to thee. |
And she saddled an ass, and commanded her servant: Drive, and make haste, make no stay in going. And do that which I bid thee. | |
| 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. |
Therfor sche yede forth, and cam to the man of God, in to the hil of Carmele. And whanne the man of God hadde seyn hir euene ayen, he seide to Giezi, his child, Lo! thilke Sunamyte; go thou therfor in to the metyng of hir, |
So she went forward, and came to the man of God to mount Carmel: and when the mall of God saw her coming towards, he said to Giezi his servant : Behold that Sunamitess. | |
| 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. |
and seie thou to hir, Whether it is doon riytfuli aboute thee, and aboute thin hosebonde, and aboute thi sone? And sche answeride, Riytfuli. |
Go therefore to meet her, and say to her: Is all well with thee, and with thy husband, and with thy son? and she answered: Well. | |
| 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. |
And whanne sche hadde come to the man of God, in to the hil, sche took his feet; and Giezi neiyede, that he schulde remoue hir. And the man of God seide, Suffre thou hir; for hir soule is in bitternesse, and the Lord helde priuy fro me, and schewide not to me. |
And when she came to the man of God to the mount, she caught hold on his feet: and Giezi came to remove her. And the man of God said: Let her alone for her soul is in anguish, and the Lord hath hid it from me, and hath not told me. | |
| 28 | Quæ dixit illi: Numquid petivi filium a domino meo? numquid non dixi tibi: Ne illudas me? |
And sche seide to hym, Whether I axide my sone of my lord? Whether Y seide not to thee, Scorne thou not me? |
And she said to him: Did I ask a son of my lord? did I not say to thee: Do not deceive me? | |
| 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. |
And he seide to Giezi, Girde thi leendis, and take my staf in thin hond, and go; if a man metith thee, grete thou not hym; and if ony man gretith thee, answere thou not hym; and putte thou my staf on the face of the child. |
Then he said to Giezi: Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go. If any man meet thee, salute him not: and if any man salute thee, answer him not: and lay my staff upon the face of the child. | |
| 30 | Porro mater pueri ait: Vivit Dominus, et vivit anima tua, non dimittam te. Surrexit ergo, et secutus est eam. |
Forsothe the modir of the child seide, The Lord lyueth and thi soule lyueth, Y schal not leeue, ether forsake, thee. Therfor he roos, and suede hir. |
But the mother of the child said: As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. He arose, therefore, and followed her. | |
| 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. |
Sotheli Giezi yede bifor hem, and puttide the staaf on the face of the child; and vois was not, nether wit. And Giezi turnede ayen to the meetyng of hym; and telde to him, and seyde, The child roos not. |
But Giezi was gone before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child, and there was no voice nor sense: and he returned to meet him, and told him, saying: The child is not risen. | |
| 32 | Ingressus est ergo Eliseus domum, et ecce puer mortuus jacebat in lectulo ejus: |
Therfor Elisee entride in to the hows, and, lo! the deed child lai in his bed. |
Eliseus therefore went into the house, and behold the child lay dead on his bed. | |
| 33 | ingressusque clausit ostium super se et super puerum, et oravit ad Dominum. |
And he entride, and closide the dore on hym silf, and on the child; and preiede to the Lord. |
And going in he shut the door upon him, and upon the child, and prayed to the Lord. | |
| 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. |
And he stiede, and lay on the child; and he puttide his mouth on the mouth of the child, and hise iyen on the iyen of the child, and hise hondis on the hondis of the child. And he bouwide hym silf on the child; and the fleisch of the child was maad hoot. |
And he went up, and lay upon the child: and he put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he bowed himself upon him, and the child's flesh grew warm. | |
| 35 | At ille reversus, deambulavit in domo, semel huc atque illuc: et ascendit, et incubuit super eum: et oscitavit puer septies, aperuitque oculos. |
And he turnede ayen, and walkide in the hows onys hidur and thidur; and Elisee stiede, and lai on the child, and the child yoxide seuene sithis, and openyde the iyen. |
Then he returned and walked in the house, once to and fro: and he went up, and lay upon him: and the child gaped seven times, and opened his eyes. | |
| 36 | At ille vocavit Giezi, et dixit ei: Voca Sunamitidem hanc. Quæ vocata, ingressa est ad eum. Qui ait: Tolle filium tuum. |
And he clepide Giezi, and seide to hym, Clepe thou this Sunamyte. And sche was clepid, and entride to hym. And he seide, Take thi sone. |
And he called Giezi, and said to him: Call this Sunamitess. And she being called, went in to him: and he said: Take up thy son. | |
| 37 | Venit illa, et corruit ad pedes ejus, et adoravit super terram: tulitque filium suum, et egressa est. |
She cam, and felde doun to his feet, and worschipide on erthe; and sche took hir sone, and yede out. |
She came and fell at his feet, and worshipped upon the ground: and took up her son, and went out. | |
