2 Kings 4
1 Now a certain woman, from the wives of the prophets, cried out to Elisha, saying: “My husband, your servant, is dead. And you know that your servant was one who fears the Lord. And behold, a creditor has arrived, so that he may take away my two sons to serve him.”
Uma mulher, das mulheres dos filhos dos profetas, clamou a Eliseu, dizendo: Teu servo, meu marido, é morto; e tu sabes que teu servo era temeroso ao SENHOR; e veio o credor para tomar-se dois filhos meus por servos.
2 And Elisha said to her: “What do you want me to do for you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?” And she responded, “I, your handmaid, do not have anything in my house, except a little oil, with which I may be anointed.”
E Eliseu lhe disse: que te farei eu? Declara-me o que tens em casa. E ela disse: Tua serva nenhuma coisa tem em casa, a não ser uma botija de azeite.
3 And he said to her: “Go, ask to borrow from all your neighbors empty vessels, more than a few.
E ele lhe disse: Vai, e pede para ti vasos emprestados de todos teus vizinhos, vasos vazios, não poucos.
4 And enter and close your door. And when you are inside with your sons, pour from the oil into all those vessels. And when they are full, take them away.”
Entra logo, e fecha a porta atrás de ti e atrás teus filhos; e deita em todos os vasos, e em estando um cheio, põe-o à parte.
5 And so, the woman went and closed the door upon herself and her sons. They were bringing her the vessels, and she was pouring into them.
E partiu-se a mulher dele, e fechou a porta atrás si e atrás seus filhos; e eles lhe traziam os vasos, e ela deitava do azeite.
6 And when the vessels had been filled, she said to her son, “Bring me another a vessel.” And he responded, “I have none.” And there was oil remaining.
E quando os vasos foram cheios, disse a um filho seu: Traze-me ainda outro vaso. E ele disse: Não há mais vasos. Então cessou o azeite.
7 Then she went and told the man of God. And he said: “Go, sell the oil, and repay your creditor. Then you and your sons may live on what remains.”
Veio ela logo, e contou-o ao homem de Deus, o qual disse: Vai, e vende o azeite, e paga a teus credores; e tu e teus filhos vivei do que restar.
8 Now it happened that, on a certain day, Elisha passed by Shunem. And there was a great woman there, who took him to eat bread. And since he frequently passed by there, he turned aside to her house, so that he might eat bread.
E aconteceu também que um dia passava Eliseu por Suném; e havia ali uma mulher rica, a qual lhe constrangeu a que comesse do pão; e quando por ali passava, vinha-se à sua casa a comer do pão.
9 And she said to her husband: “I have noticed that he is a holy man of God, who passes by us frequently.
E ela disse a seu marido: Eis que agora, eu entendo que este que sempre passa por nossa casa, é homem de Deus santo.
10 Therefore, let us prepare a small upper room for him, and place a bed in it for him, and a table, and a chair, and a lampstand, so that when he comes to us, he may stay there.”
Eu te rogo que faças uma pequena câmara de paredes, e ponhamos nela cama, e mesa, e cadeira, e candelabro, para que quando vier a nós, se recolha nela.
11 Then it happened that, on a certain day, arriving, he turned aside into the upper room, and he rested there.
E aconteceu que um dia veio ele por ali, e recolheu-se naquela câmara, e dormiu nela.
12 And he said to his servant Gehazi, “Call this Shunammite woman.” And when he had called her, and she stood before him,
Então disse a Geazi seu criado: Chama a esta sunamita. E quando ele a chamou, ela se apresentou diante dele.
13 he said to his servant: “Say to her: Behold, you have ministered to us attentively in all things. What do you want, that I might do for you? Do you have any business, or do you want me to speak to the king, or to the leader of the military?” And she responded, “I live in the midst of my own people.”
E disse ele a Geazi: Dize-lhe: Eis que tu tens sido prestativa por nós com todo este esmero: que queres que eu faça por ti? Tens necessidade que fale por ti ao rei, ou ao general do exército? E ela respondeu: Eu habito em meio de meu povo.
14 And he said, “Then what does she want, that I might do for her?” And Gehazi said: “You need not ask. For she has no son, and her husband is elderly.”
E ele disse: Que, pois, faremos por ela? E Geazi respondeu: Eis que ela não tem filho, e seu marido é velho.
15 And so, he instructed him to call her. And when she had been called, and was standing before the door,
Disse então: Chama-a. E ele a chamou, e ela se parou à porta.
16 he said to her, “At this time, and at this same hour, with life as a companion, you will have a son in your womb.” But she responded, “Do not, I ask you, my lord, a man of God, do not be willing to lie to your handmaid.”
E ele lhe disse: A este tempo segundo o tempo da vida, abraçarás um filho. E ela disse: Não, senhor meu, homem de Deus, não mintas para tua serva.
17 And the woman conceived. And she bore a son, in the time and at the same hour as Elisha had said.
Mas a mulher concebeu, e pariu um filho a aquele tempo que Eliseu lhe havia dito, segundo o tempo da vida.
18 And the boy grew. And on a certain day, when he had gone out to his father, to the harvesters,
E quando o menino foi grande, aconteceu que um dia saiu a seu pai, aos ceifeiros.
19 he said to his father: “I have a pain in my head. I have a pain in my head.” But he said to his servant, “Take him, and lead him to his mother.”
E disse a seu pai: Minha cabeça, minha cabeça! E ele disse a um criado: Leva-o a sua mãe.
20 But when he had taken him, and he had led him to his mother, she placed him upon her knees, until midday, and then he died.
E havendo-lhe ele tomado, e trazido-o a sua mãe, esteve sentado sobre seus joelhos até meio dia, e morreu-se.
21 Then she went up and laid him out on the bed of the man of God, and she closed the door. And departing,
Ela então subiu, e o pôs sobre a cama do homem de Deus, e fechando-lhe a porta, saiu-se.
22 she called her husband, and she said: “Send with me, I beg you, one of your servants, and a donkey, so that I may hurry to the man of God, and then return.”
Chamando logo a seu marido, disse-lhe: Rogo-te que envies comigo a algum dos criados e uma das asnas, para que eu vá correndo ao homem de Deus, e volte.
23 And he said to her: “What is the reason that you would go to him? Today is not the new moon, and it is not the Sabbath.” She responded, “I will go.”
E ele disse: Para que hás de ir a ele hoje? Não é nova lua, nem sábado. E ela respondeu: Paz.
24 And she saddled a donkey, and she instructed her servant: “Drive, and hurry on. You shall cause no delay for me in departing. And do whatever I instruct you to do.”
Depois fez preparar uma jumenta, e disse ao jovem: Guia e anda; e não me faças deter para que suba, a não ser quando eu te disser.
25 And so she set out. And she came to the man of God, on mount Carmel. And when the man of God had seen her at a distance, he said to his servant Gehazi: “Behold, it is that Shunammite woman.
Partiu-se, pois, e veio ao homem de Deus ao monte do Carmelo. E quando o homem de Deus a viu de longe, disse a seu criado Geazi: Eis que a sunamita:
26 So then, go to meet her, and say to her, ‘Does all go well concerning you, and your husband, and your son?’” And she answered, “It is well.”
Rogo-te que vás agora correndo a recebê-la, e dize-lhe: Há paz contigo, com teu marido, e com teu filho? E ela disse: Paz.
27 And when she had arrived at the man of God, on the mount, she took hold of his feet. And Gehazi drew near, so that he might remove her. But the man of God said: “Permit her. For her soul is in bitterness. And the Lord has concealed it from me, and has not revealed it to me.”
E logo que chegou ao homem de Deus no monte, pegou seus pés. E chegou-se Geazi para tirá-la; mas o homem de Deus lhe disse: Deixa-a, porque sua alma está em amargura, e o SENHOR me encobriu o motivo, e não me revelou.
28 And she said to him: “Did I ask a son from my lord? Did I not say to you, ‘You should not deceive me?’”
E ela disse: Pedi eu filho a meu senhor? Não disse eu, que não me enganasses?
29 And so he said to Gehazi: “Gird your waist, and take my staff in your hand, and go. If any man will meet you, you shall not greet him. And if anyone greets you, you shall not respond to him. And place my staff upon the face of the boy.”
Então disse ele a Geazi: Cinge teus lombos, e toma meu bordão em tua mão, e vai; e se alguém te encontrar, não o saúdes; e se alguém te saudar, não lhe respondas: e porás meu bordão sobre o rosto do menino.
30 But the mother of the boy said, “As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not release you.” Therefore, he rose up, and he followed her.
E disse a mãe do menino: Vive o SENHOR, e vive tua alma, que não te deixarei.
31 But Gehazi had gone before them, and he had placed the staff upon the face of the boy. And there was no voice, nor any response. And so he returned to meet him. And he reported to him, saying, “The boy did not rise up.”
Ele então se levantou, e seguiu-a. E Geazi havia ido diante deles, e havia posto o bordão sobre o rosto do menino, mas nem tinha voz nem sentido; e assim se havia voltado para encontrar a Eliseu; e declarou-o a ele, dizendo: O jovem não desperta.
32 Therefore, Elisha entered the house. And behold, the boy was lying dead upon his bed.
E vindo Eliseu à casa, eis que o menino que estava estendido morto sobre sua cama.
33 And entering, he closed the door upon himself and the boy. And he prayed to the Lord.
Entrando ele então, fechou a porta sobre ambos, e orou ao SENHOR.
34 And he climbed up, and lay across the boy. And he put his mouth over his mouth, and his eyes over his eyes, and his hands over his hands. And he leaned himself over him, and the body of the boy grew warm.
Depois subiu, e lançou-se sobre o menino, pondo sua boca sobre a boca dele, e seus olhos sobre seus olhos, e suas mãos sobre as mãos suas; assim se estendeu sobre ele, e aqueceu a carne do jovem.
35 And returning, he walked around the house, first here and then there. And he went up, and lay across him. And the boy gasped seven times, and he opened his eyes.
Voltando-se logo, andou pela casa a uma parte e a outra, e depois subiu, e estendeu-se sobre ele; e o jovem espirrou sete vezes, e abriu seus olhos.
36 And he called Gehazi, and said to him, “Call this Shunammite woman.” And having been called, she entered to him. And he said, “Take up your son.”
Então ele chamou a Geazi, e disse-lhe: Chama a esta sunamita. E ele a chamou. E entrando ela, ele lhe disse: Toma teu filho.
37 She went and fell at his feet, and she reverenced upon the ground. And she took up her son, and departed.
E assim que ela entrou, lançou-se a seus pés, e inclinou-se a terra: depois tomou seu filho, e saiu-se.
38 And Elisha returned to Gilgal. Now there was a famine in the land, and the sons of the prophets were living in his sight. And he said to one of his servants, “Set out a large cooking pot, and boil a soup for the sons of the prophets.”
E Eliseu se voltou a Gilgal. Havia então grande fome na terra. E os filhos dos profetas estavam com ele, pelo que disse a seu criado: Põe uma grande caçarola, e faze sopa para os filhos dos profetas.
39 And one went out into the field, so that he might collect wild herbs. And he found something like a wild vine, and he gathered from it bitter fruits of the field, and he filled his cloak. And returning, he cut these up for the pot of soup. But he did not know what it was.
E saiu um ao campo a colher ervas, e achou uma como parreira selvagem, e agarrou dela uma capa de frutos silvestres; e voltou, e cortou-as na caçarola da sopa: porque não sabia o que era.
40 Then they poured it out for their companions to eat. And when they had tasted the mixture, they cried out, saying, “Death is in the cooking pot, O man of God!” And they were unable to eat.
Serviu depois para que comessem os homens; mas sucedeu que comendo eles daquele guisado, deram vozes, dizendo: Homem de Deus, há morte na caçarola! E não o puderam comer.
41 But he said, “Bring some flour.” And when they had brought it, he cast it into the cooking pot, and he said, “Pour it out for the group, so that they may eat.” And there was no longer any bitterness in the cooking pot.
Ele então disse: Trazei farinha. E espalhou-a na caçarola, e disse: Dá de comer à gente. E não houve mais mal na caçarola.
42 Now a certain man arrived from Baal-Shalishah, carrying, for the man of God, bread from the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and new grain in his satchel. But he said, “Give it to the people, so that they may eat.”
Veio então um homem de Baal-Salisa, o qual trouxe ao homem de Deus pães de primícias, vinte pães de cevada, e trigo novo em sua espiga. E ele disse: Da ao povo, para que comam.
43 And his servant responded to him, “What amount is this, that I should set it before a hundred men?” But he said again: “Give it to the people, so that they may eat. For thus says the Lord, ‘They shall eat, and there shall be still more.’”
E respondeu seu servente: Como porei isto diante de cem homens? Mas ele voltou a dizer: Da ao povo para que comam, porque assim disse o SENHOR: Comerão, e sobrará.
44 And so, he set it before them. And they ate, and there was still more, in accord with the word of the Lord.
Então ele o pôs diante deles, e comeram, e sobrou-lhes, conforme a palavra do SENHOR.
