1 Kings 19
1 And Achab told Jezabel all that Elias had done, and how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
E Achab fez saber a Jezabel tudo quanto Elias havia feito, e como totalmente matara todos os prophetas á espada.
2 And Jezabel sent a messenger to Elias, saying: Such and such things may the gods do to me, and add still more, if by this hour tomorrow I make not thy life as the life of one of them.
Então Jezabel mandou um mensageiro a Elias, a dizer-lhe: Assim me façam os deuses, e outro tanto, se de certo ámanhã a estas horas não pozer a tua vida como a d'um d'elles.
3 Then Elias was afraid, and rising up he went whithersoever he had a mind: and he came to Bersabee of Juda, and left his servant there,
O que vendo elle, se levantou, e, para escapar com vida, se foi, e veiu a Berseba, que é de Judah, e deixou ali o seu moço.
4 And he went forward, one day’s journey into the desert. And when he was there, and sat under a juniper tree, he requested for his soul that he might die, and said: It is enough for me, Lord, take away my soul: for I am no better than my fathers.
E elle se foi ao deserto, caminho de um dia, e veiu, e se assentou debaixo de um zimbro; e pediu em seu animo a morte, e disse: Já basta, ó Senhor; toma agora a minha vida, pois não sou melhor do que meus paes.
5 And he cast himself down, and slept in the shadow of the juniper tree: and behold an angel of the Lord touched him, and said to him: Arise and eat.
E deitou-se, e dormiu debaixo d'um zimbro: e eis que então um anjo o tocou, e lhe disse: Levanta-te, come.
6 He looked, and behold there was at his head a hearth cake, and a vessel of water: and he ate and drank, and he fell asleep again.
E olhou, e eis que á sua cabeceira estava um pão cozido sobre as brazas, e uma botija de agua: e comeu, e bebeu, e tornou a deitar-se.
7 And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and said to him: Arise, eat: for thou hast yet a great way to go.
E o anjo do Senhor tornou segunda vez, e o tocou, e disse: Levanta-te e come, porque mui comprido te será o caminho.
8 And he arose, and ate, and drank, and walked in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights, unto the mount of God, Horeb.
Levantou-se pois, e comeu e bebeu: e com a força d'aquella comida caminhou quarenta dias e quarenta noites até Horeb, o monte de Deus.
9 And when he was come thither, he abode in a cave: and behold the word of the Lord came unto him, and he said to him: What dost thou here, Elias?
E ali entrou n'uma caverna e passou ali a noite: e eis que a palavra do Senhor veiu a elle, e lhe disse: Que fazes aqui, Elias?
10 And he answered: With zeal have I been zealous for the Lord God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant: they have thrown down thy altars, they have slain thy prophets with the sword, and I alone am left, and they seek my life to take it away.
E elle disse: Tenho sido muito zeloso pelo Senhor Deus dos Exercitos, porque os filhos d'Israel deixaram o teu concerto, derribaram os teus altares, e mataram os teus prophetas á espada, e eu só fiquei, e buscam a minha vida para m'a tirarem.
11 And he said to him: Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord: and behold the Lord passeth, and a great and strong wind before the Lord over throwing the mountains, and breaking the rocks in pieces: the Lord is not in the wind, and after the wind an earthquake: the Lord is not in the earthquake.
E elle lhe disse: Sae para fóra, e põe-te n'este monte perante a face do Senhor. E eis que passava o Senhor, como tambem um grande e forte vento que fendia os montes e quebrava as penhas diante da face do Senhor; porém o Senhor não estava no vento: e depois do vento um terremoto: tambem o Senhor não estava no terremoto:
12 And after the earthquake a fire: the Lord is not in the fire, and after the fire a whistling of a gentle air.
E depois do terremoto um fogo; porém tambem o Senhor não estava no fogo: e depois do fogo uma voz mansa e delicada.
13 And when Elias heard it, he covered his face with his mantle, and coming forth stood in the entering in of the cave, and behold a voice unto him, saying: What dost thou here, Elias? And he answered:
E succedeu que, ouvindo-a Elias, envolveu o seu rosto na sua capa, e saiu para fóra, e poz-se á entrada da caverna: e eis que veiu a elle uma voz, que dizia: Que fazes aqui, Elias?
14 With zeal have I been zealous for the Lord God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant: they have destroyed thy altars, they have slain thy prophets with the sword, and I alone am left, and they seek my life to take it away.
E elle disse: Eu tenho sido em extremo zeloso pelo Senhor Deus dos exercitos, porque os filhos d'Israel deixaram o teu concerto, derribaram os teus altares, e mataram os teus prophetas á espada, e só eu fiquei; e buscam a minha vida para m'a tirarem.
15 And the Lord said to him: Go, and return on thy way through the desert to Damascus: and when thou art come thither, thou shalt anoint Hazael to be king over Syria.
E o Senhor lhe disse: Vae, torna-te pelo teu caminho para o deserto de Damasco; e vem, e unge a Hazael rei sobre a Syria.
16 And thou shalt anoint Jehu the son of Namsi to be king over Israel: and Eliseus the son of Saphat, of Abelmeula, thou shalt anoint to be prophet in thy room.
Tambem a Jehu, filho de Nimsi, ungirás rei d'Israel: e tambem a Eliseo, filho de Saphat de Abel-mehola, ungirás propheta em teu logar.
17 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall escape the sword of Hazael, shall be slain by Jehu: and whosoever shall escape the sword of Jehu, shall be slain by Eliseus.
E ha de ser que o que escapar da espada de Hazael matal-o-ha Jehu: e o que escapar da espada de Jehu matal-o-ha Eliseo.
18 And I will leave me seven thousand men in Israel, whose knees have not been bowed before Baal, and every mouth that hath not worshipped him kissing the hands.
Tambem eu fiz ficar em Israel sete mil: todos os joelhos que se não dobraram a Baal, e toda a bocca que o não beijou.
19 And Elias departing from thence, found Eliseus the son of Saphat, ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen: and he was one of them that were ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen: and when Elias came up to him, he cast his mantle upon him.
Partiu pois Elias d'ali, e achou a Eliseo, filho de Saphat, que andava lavrando com doze juntas de bois adiante d'elle, e elle estava com a duodecima: e Elias passou por elle, e lançou a sua capa sobre elle.
20 And he forthwith left the oxen and ran after Elias, and said: Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said to him: Go, and return back: for that which was my part, I have done to thee.
Então deixou elle os bois, e correu apoz Elias: e disse: Deixa-me beijar a meu pae e a minha mãe, e então te seguirei. E elle lhe disse: Vae, e volta; porque que te tenho eu feito?
21 And returning back from him, he took a yoke of oxen, and killed them, and boiled the flesh with the plough of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate: and rising up he went away, and followed Elias, and ministered to him.
Voltou pois de atraz d'elle, e tomou uma junta de bois, e os matou, e com os apparelhos dos bois cozeu as carnes, e as deu ao povo, e comeram: então se levantou e seguiu a Elias, e o servia.
