2 Kings 2
1 And it came to pass when Jehovah would take up Elijah into the heavens by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
Sucedeu pois que, havendo o Senhor de elevar a Elias num redemoinho ao céu, Elias partiu com Eliseo de Gilgal.
2 And Elijah said to Elisha, Abide here, I pray thee; for Jehovah has sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee! So they went down to Bethel.
E disse Elias a Eliseo: Fica-te aqui, porque o Senhor me enviou a Bethel. Porém Eliseo disse: Vive o Senhor, e vive a tua alma, que te não deixarei. E assim foram a Bethel.
3 And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said to him, Dost thou know that Jehovah will take away thy master from over thy head to-day? And he said, I also know it: be silent!
Então os filhos dos profetas que estavam em Bethel sairam a Eliseo, e lhe disseram: Sabes que o Senhor hoje tomará o teu senhor por de cima da tua cabeça? E ele disse: também eu bem o sei; calai-vos.
4 And Elijah said to him, Elisha, abide here, I pray thee; for Jehovah has sent me to Jericho. And he said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee! And they came to Jericho.
E Elias lhe disse: Eliseo, fica-te aqui, porque o Senhor me enviou a Jericó. Porém ele disse: Vive o Senhor, e vive a tua alma, que te não deixarei. E assim vieram a Jericó.
5 And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho drew near to Elisha and said to him, Dost thou know that Jehovah will take away thy master from over thy head to-day? And he said, I also know it: be silent!
Então os filhos dos profetas que estavam em Jericó se chegaram a Eliseo, e lhe disseram: Sabes que o Senhor hoje tomará o teu senhor por de cima da tua cabeça? E ele disse: também eu bem o sei; calai-vos.
6 And Elijah said to him, Abide here, I pray thee; for Jehovah has sent me to the Jordan. And he said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee! And they two went on.
E Elias disse: Fica-te aqui, porque o Senhor me enviou ao Jordão. Mas ele disse: Vive o Senhor, e vive a tua alma, que te não deixarei. E assim ambos foram juntos.
7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite afar off; and they two stood by the Jordan.
E foram cincoênta homens dos filhos dos profetas, e de longe pararam defronte: e eles ambos pararam junto ao Jordão.
8 And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither; and they two went over on dry ground.
Então Elias tomou a sua capa, e a dobrou, e feriu as águas, as quais se dividiram para as duas bandas: e passaram ambos em seco.
9 And it came to pass when they had gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I am taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
Sucedeu pois que, havendo eles passado, Elias disse a Eliseo: Pede-me o que queres que te faça, antes que seja tomado de ti. E disse Eliseo: Peço-te que haja porção dobrada de teu espírito sobre mim
10 And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so to thee; but if not, it shall not be [so].
E disse: Coisa dura pediste; se me vires quando for tomado de ti, assim se te fará, porém, se não, não se fará
11 And it came to pass as they went on, and talked, that behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire; and they parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into the heavens.
E sucedeu que, indo eles andando e falando, eis que um carro de fogo, com cavalos de fogo, os separou um do outro: e Elias subiu ao céu num redemoinho.
12 And Elisha saw [it], and he cried, My father, my father! the chariot of Israel and the horsemen thereof! And he saw him no more. Then he took hold of his own garments and rent them in two pieces.
O que vendo Eliseo, clamou: Meu pai, meu pai, carros de Israel, e seus cavaleiros! E nunca mais o viu: e, travando dos seus vestidos, os rasgou em duas partes.
13 And he took up the mantle of Elijah which fell from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan;
Também levantou a capa de Elias, que lhe caira: e tornou-se, e parou à borda do Jordão.
14 and he took the mantle of Elijah which had fallen from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is Jehovah, the God of Elijah? He also smote the waters, and they parted hither and thither, and Elisha went over.
E tomou a capa de Elias, que lhe caira, e feriu as águas, e disse: Onde está o Senhor, Deus de Elias? Então feriu as águas, e se dividiram elas de uma e outra banda; e Eliseo passou.
15 And the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho on the opposite side saw him, and they said, The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him,
Vendo-o pois os filhos dos profetas que estavam defronte em Jericó, disseram: O espírito de Elias repousa sobre Eliseo. E vieram-lhe ao encontro, e se prostraram diante dele em terra.
16 and said to him, Behold now, there are with thy servants fifty valiant men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master, lest perhaps the Spirit of Jehovah have taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some ravine. And he said, Ye shall not send.
E disseram-lhe: Eis que com teus servos há cincoênta homens valentes; ora deixa-os ir para buscar a teu senhor; pode ser que o elevasse o espírito do Senhor, e o lançasse em algum dos montes, ou em algum dos vales. Porém ele disse: Não os envieis.
17 And they pressed him till he was ashamed, and he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men, and they sought three days, but did not find him.
Mas eles apertaram com ele, até se enfastiar; e disse-lhes: enviai. E enviaram cincoênta homens, que o buscaram três dias, porém não o acharam.
18 And they came again to him (now he was staying at Jericho); and he said to them, Did I not say to you, Go not?
Então voltaram para ele, tendo ele ficado em Jericó: e disse-lhes: Eu não vos disse que não fosseis?
19 And the men of the city said to Elisha, Behold now, the situation of the city is good, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land is barren.
E os homens da cidade disseram a Eliseo: Eis que boa é a habitação desta cidade, como o meu senhor vê; porém as águas são más, e a terra é estéril
20 And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt in it. And they brought it to him.
E ele disse: Trazei-me uma salva nova, e ponde nela sal. E lha trouxeram.
21 And he went forth to the source of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith Jehovah: I have healed these waters: there shall not be from thence any more death or barrenness.
Então saiu ele ao manancial das águas, e deitou sal nele; e disse: Assim diz o Senhor: Sararei a estas águas; não haverá mais nelas morte nem esterilidade.
22 And the waters were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke.
Ficaram pois sãs aquelas águas até ao dia de hoje, conforme à palavra que Eliseo tinha dito.
23 And he went up from thence to Bethel, and as he went up by the way, there came forth little boys out of the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, bald head; go up, bald head!
Então subiu dali a Bethel: e, subindo ele pelo caminho, uns moços pequenos sairam da cidade, e zombavam dele, e diziam-lhe: Sobe, calvo, sobe, calvo!
24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of Jehovah. And there came forth two she-bears out of the wood, and tore forty-two children of them.
E, virando-se ele para traz, os viu, e os amaldiçoou no nome do Senhor: então duas ursas sairam do bosque, e despedaçaram deles quarenta e dois meninos.
25 And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
E foi-se dali para o monte Carmelo: e dali voltou para Samaria.
