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.
E aconteceu que, quando o SENHOR quis erguer Elias num turbilhão ao céu, Elias vinha com Eliseu 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 Eliseu: Fica-te agora aqui, porque o SENHOR me enviou a Betel. E Eliseu disse: Vive o SENHOR, e vive tua alma, que não te deixarei. Desceram pois a Betel.
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!
E saindo a Eliseu os filhos dos profetas que estavam em Betel, disseram-lhe: Sabes como o SENHOR tirará hoje o teu senhor de tua cabeça? E ele disse: Sim, eu o sei; calai.
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 voltou a dizer: Eliseu, fica-te aqui agora, porque o SENHOR me enviou a Jericó. E ele disse: Vive o SENHOR, e vive tua alma, que não te deixarei. Vieram, pois, 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!
E achegaram-se a Eliseu os filhos dos profetas que estavam em Jericó, e disseram-lhe: Sabes como o SENHOR tirará hoje o teu senhor de tua cabeça? E ele respondeu: Sim, eu o sei; calai.
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 lhe disse: Rogo-te que te fiques aqui, porque o SENHOR me enviou ao Jordão. E ele disse: Vive o SENHOR, e vive tua alma, que não te deixarei. Foram, pois, ambos.
7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite afar off; and they two stood by the Jordan.
E vieram cinquenta homens dos filhos dos profetas, e pararam-se em frente a o longe: e eles dois se 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.
Tomando então Elias seu manto, dobrou-o, e feriu as águas, as quais se apartaram a um e a outro lado, 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.
E quando houveram passado, Elias disse a Eliseu: Pede o que queres que faça por ti, antes que seja tirado de contigo. E disse Eliseu: Rogo-te que a porção dobrada de teu espírito seja 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 ele lhe disse: Coisa difícil pediste. Se me vires quando for tirado de ti, te será assim feito; mas se não, não.
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 aconteceu que, indo eles falando, eis que um carro de fogo com cavalos de fogo separou os dois; e Elias subiu ao céu num turbilhão.
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.
E vendo-o Eliseu, clamava: Meu pai, meu pai! Carro de Israel e seus cavaleiros! E nunca mais lhe viu, e segurando de suas roupas, rompeu-os 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;
Levantou logo o manto de Elias que se lhe havia caído, e voltou, e parou-se à beira 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 tomando o manto de Elias que se lhe havia caído, feriu as águas, e disse: Onde está o SENHOR, o Deus de Elias? E assim que houve do mesmo modo ferido as águas, apartaram-se a um e a outro lado, e passou Eliseu.
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,
E vendo-lhe os filhos dos profetas que estavam em Jericó da outra parte, disseram: O espírito de Elias repousou sobre Eliseu. E vieram-lhe a receber, e inclinaram-se a ele até a 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 há com teus servos cinquenta homens fortes; vão agora e busquem o teu senhor; talvez o Espírito do SENHOR o levantou, e o lançou em algum monte ou em algum vale. E ele lhes disse: Não 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 lhe importunaram, até que envergonhando-se, disse: Enviai. Então eles enviaram cinquenta homens, os quais o buscaram três dias, mas 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?
E quando voltaram a ele, que se havia restado em Jericó, ele lhes disse: Não vos disse eu que não fôsseis?
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 Eliseu: Eis que o assento desta cidade é bom, como meu senhor vai; mas as águas são más, e a terra enferma.
20 And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt in it. And they brought it to him.
Então ele disse: Trazei-me uma botija nova, e ponde nela sal. E trouxeram-na.
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.
E saindo ele aos mananciais das águas, lançou dentro o sal, e disse: Assim disse o SENHOR: Eu sarei estas águas, e não haverá mais nelas morte nem enfermidade.
22 And the waters were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke.
E foram saradas as águas até hoje, conforme a palavra que falou Eliseu.
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!
Depois subiu dali a Betel; e subindo pelo caminho, saíram os meninos da cidade, e se ridicularizavam dele, dizendo: 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 olhando ele atrás, viu-os, e amaldiçoou-os no nome do SENHOR. E duas ursas saíram da floresta, e despedaçaram deles quarenta e dois meninos.
25 And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
De ali foi ao monte de Carmelo, e dali voltou a Samaria.
