(30-38)
30At length Elijah said to all the people: “Approach me.” So all the people approached him. Then he proceeded to mend the altar of Jehovah that was torn down.
31So Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom Jehovah’s word had come, saying: “Israel is what your name will become.”
32And he went on to build the stones into an altar in the name of Jehovah and to make a trench, of about the area sowed with two seah measures of seed, all around the altar.
33After that he put the pieces of wood in order and cut the young bull in pieces and placed it upon the pieces of wood. He now said: “FILL four large jars with water and pour it upon the burnt offering and upon the pieces of wood.”
34Then he said: “Do it again.” So they did it again. But he said: “Do it a third time.” So they did it a third time.
35Thus the water went all around the altar, and the trench also he filled with water.
36And it came about at the time that the grain offering goes up that Elijah the prophet began to approach and say: “O Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, today let it be known that you are God in Israel and I am your servant and it is by your word that I have done all these things.
37Answer me, O Jehovah, answer me, that this people may know that you, Jehovah, are the [true] God and you yourself have turned their heart back.”
38At that the fire of Jehovah came falling and went eating up the burnt offering and the pieces of wood and the stones and the dust, and the water that was in the trench it licked up.

30Then Elijah said to all the people, “Come here to me.” They came to him, and he repaired the altar of the LORD, which had been torn down.
31Elijah took twelve stones, one for each of the tribes descended from Jacob, to whom the word of the LORD had come, saying, “Your name shall be Israel.”
32With the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD, and he dug a trench around it large enough to hold two seahs of seed.
33He arranged the wood, cut the bull into pieces and laid it on the wood. Then he said to them, “Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the offering and on the wood.”
34“Do it again,” he said, and they did it again.
35The water ran down around the altar and even filled the trench.
36At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: “LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command.
37Answer me, LORD, answer me, so these people will know that you, LORD, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again.”
38Then the fire of the LORD fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench.

(30-38)
30Por fin Elías dijo a todo el pueblo: “Acérquense a mí”. De modo que todo el pueblo se acercó a él. Entonces procedió a componer el altar de Jehová que estaba demolido.
31Así que Elías tomó doce piedras, conforme al número de las tribus de los hijos de Jacob, a quien la palabra de Jehová había venido diciendo: “Israel es lo que llegará a ser tu nombre”.
32Y se puso a edificar con las piedras un altar en el nombre de Jehová y a hacer una zanja, de más o menos la extensión que se siembra con dos medidas de sea de semilla, todo en derredor del altar.
33Después puso en orden los pedazos de leña y cortó en trozos el toro joven y lo colocó sobre los pedazos de leña. Ahora dijo: “Llenen cuatro jarrones de agua y derrámenla sobre la ofrenda quemada y sobre los pedazos de leña”.
34En seguida dijo: “Háganlo otra vez”. De modo que lo hicieron otra vez. Pero él dijo: “Háganlo la tercera vez”. De modo que lo hicieron la tercera vez.
35Así el agua iba todo en derredor del altar, y él llenó también de agua la zanja.
36Y al tiempo que asciende la ofrenda de grano aconteció que Elías el profeta empezó a acercarse y a decir: “Oh Jehová, el Dios de Abrahán, Isaac e Israel, conózcase hoy que tú eres Dios en Israel y yo soy tu siervo y que por medio de tu palabra he hecho todas estas cosas.
37Respóndeme, oh Jehová, respóndeme, para que sepa este pueblo que tú, Jehová, eres el Dios [verdadero] y tú mismo has vuelto atrás el corazón de ellos”.
38Ante eso, el fuego de Jehová vino cayendo, y se puso a comer la ofrenda quemada y los pedazos de leña y las piedras y el polvo, y lamió el agua que estaba en la zanja.
