< 2 Kings 4 >

1 Now a certain woman of the wives of the prophets cried to Eliseus, saying: Thy servant my husband is dead, and thou knowest that thy servant was one that feared God, and behold the creditor is come to take away my two sons to serve him.
E uma mulher das mulheres dos filhos dos prophetas, clamou a Eliseo, dizendo: Meu marido, teu servo, morreu; e tu sabes que o teu servo temia ao Senhor; e veiu o credor, a levar-me os meus dois filhos para serem servos.
2 And Eliseus said to her: What wilt thou have me to do for thee? Tell me, what hast thou in thy house? And she answered: I thy handmaid have nothing in my house but a little oil, to anoint me.
E Eliseo lhe disse: Que te hei de eu fazer? declara-me que é o que tens em casa. E ella disse: Tua serva não tem nada em casa, senão uma botija d'azeite.
3 And he said to her: Go, borrow of all thy neighbours empty vessels not a few.
Então disse elle: Vae, pede para ti vasos emprestados, a todos os teus visinhos, vasos vasios, não poucos.
4 And go in, and shut thy door, when thou art within, and thy sons: and pour out thereof into all those vessels: and when they are full take them away.
Então entra, e fecha a porta sobre ti, e sobre teus filhos, e deita o azeite em todos aquelles vasos, e põe á parte o que estiver cheio.
5 So the woman went, and shut the door upon her, and upon her sons: they brought her the vessels, and she poured in.
Partiu pois d'elle, e fechou a porta sobre si e sobre seus filhos; e elles lhe traziam os vasos, e ella os enchia.
6 And when the vessels were full, she said to her son: Bring me yet a vessel. And he answered: I have no more. And the oil stood.
E succedeu que, cheios que foram os vasos, disse a seu filho: Traze-me ainda um vaso. Porém elle lhe disse: Não ha mais vaso nenhum. Então o azeite parou.
7 And she came, and told the man of God. And he said: Go, sell the oil, and pay thy creditor: and thou and thy sons live of the rest.
Então veiu ella, e o fez saber ao homem de Deus; e disse elle: Vae, vende o azeite, e paga a tua divida; e tu e teus filhos vivei do resto.
8 And there was a day when Eliseus passed by Sunam: now there was a great woman there, who detained him to eat bread; and as he passed often that way, he turned into her house to eat bread.
Succedeu tambem um dia que, indo Eliseo a Sunem, havia ali uma mulher grave, a qual o reteve a comer pão: e succedeu que todas as vezes que passava para ali se retirava a comer pão.
9 And she said to her husband: I perceive that this is a holy man of God, who often passeth by us.
E ella disse a seu marido: Eis que tenho observado, que este que sempre passa por nós é um sancto homem de Deus.
10 Let us therefore make him a little chamber, and put a little bed in it for him, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick, that when he cometh to us, he may abide there.
Façamos-lhe pois um pequeno quarto junto ao muro, e ali lhe ponhamos uma cama, e uma mesa, e uma cadeira e um candieiro: e ha de ser que, vindo elle a nós, para ali se retirará.
11 Now there was a certain day when he came and turned in to the chamber, and rested there.
E succedeu um dia que veiu ali, e retirou-se áquelle quarto, e se deitou ali.
12 And he said to Giezi his servant Call this Sunamitess. And when he had called her, and she stood before him,
Então disse ao seu moço Geazi: Chama esta sunamita. E chamando-a elle, ella se poz diante d'elle.
13 He said to his servant: Say to her Behold thou hast diligently served us in all things, what wilt thou have me to do for thee? hast thou any business, and wilt thou that I speak to the king, or to the general of the army? And she answered: I dwell in the midst of my own people.
Porque lhe tinha dito: Dize-lhe: Eis que tu nos tens tratado com todo o disvelo; que se ha de fazer por ti? haverá alguma coisa de que se falle por ti ao rei, ou ao chefe do exercito? E dissera ella: Eu habito no meio do meu povo.
14 And he said: What will she then that I do for her? And Giezi said: Do not ask, for she hath no son, and her husband is old.
Então disse elle: Que se ha de fazer pois por ella? E Geazi disse: Ora ella não tem filho, e seu marido é velho.
15 Then he bid him call her: And when she was called, and stood before the door.
Pelo que disse elle: Chama-a. E, chamando-a elle, ella se poz á porta.
16 He said to her: At this time, and this same hour, if life accompany, thou shalt have a son in thy womb. But she answered: Do not, I beseech thee, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie to thy handmaid.
E elle disse: A este tempo determinado, segundo o tempo da vida, abraçarás um filho. E disse ella: Não, meu senhor, homem de Deus, não mintas á tua serva.
17 And the woman conceived, and brought forth a son in the time, and at the same hour, that Eliseus had said.
E concebeu a mulher, e pariu um filho, ao tal tempo determinado, segundo o tempo da vida que Eliseo lhe dissera.
18 And the child grew. And on a certain day, when he went out to his father to the reapers,
E, crescendo o filho, succedeu que um dia saiu para seu pae que estava com os segadores.
19 He said to his father: My head acheth, my head acheth. But he said to his servant: Take him, and carry him to his mother.
E disse a seu pae: Ai, a minha cabeça! ai, a minha cabeça! Então disse a um moço: Leva-o a sua mãe
20 And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, she set him on her knees until noon, and then he died.
E elle o tomou, e o levou a sua mãe: e esteve sobre os seus joelhos até ao meio dia, e morreu.
21 And she went up and laid him upon the bed of the man of God, and shut the door: and going out,
E subiu ella, e o deitou sobre a cama do homem de Deus; e fechou sobre elle a porta, e saiu.
22 She called her husband, and said: Send with me, I beseech thee, one of thy servants, and an ass that I may run to the man of God, and come again.
E chamou a seu marido, e disse: Manda-me já um dos moços, e uma das jumentas, para que corra ao homem de Deus, e para que volte.
23 And he said to her: Why dost thou go to him? today is neither new moon nor sabbath. She answered: I will go.
E disse elle: Porque vaes a elle hoje? não é lua nova nem sabbado. E ella disse: Tudo vae bem.
24 And she saddled an ass, and commanded her servant: Drive, and make haste, make no stay in going. And do that which I bid thee.
Então albardou a jumenta, e disse ao seu moço: Guia e anda, e não te detenhas no caminhar, senão quando eu t'o disser.
25 So she went forward, and came to the man of God to mount Carmel: and when the mall of God saw her coming towards, he said to Giezi his servant: Behold that Sunamitess.
Partiu ella pois e veiu ao homem de Deus, ao monte Carmelo: e succedeu que, vendo-a o homem de Deus de longe, disse a Geazi, seu moço: Eis ahi a sunamita.
26 Go therefore to meet her, and say to her: Is all well with thee, and with thy husband, and with thy son? and she answered: Well.
Agora pois corre-lhe ao encontro e dize-lhe: Vae bem comtigo? vae bem com teu marido? Vae bem com teu filho? E ella disse: Vae bem.
27 And when she came to the man of God to the mount, she caught hold on his feet: and Giezi came to remove her. And the man of God said: Let her alone for her soul is in anguish, and the Lord hath hid it from me, and hath not told me.
Chegando ella pois ao homem de Deus, ao monte, pegou nos seus pés; mas chegou Geazi para empuxal-a: disse porém o homem de Deus: Deixa-a, porque a sua alma n'ella está triste de amargura, e o Senhor m'o encobriu, e não m'o manifestou.
28 And she said to him: Did I ask a son of my lord? did I not say to thee: Do not deceive me?
E disse ella: Pedi eu a meu senhor algum filho? Não disse eu: Não me enganes?
29 Then he said to Giezi: Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go. If any man meet thee, salute him not: and if any man salute thee, answer him not: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.
E elle disse a Geazi: Cinge os teus lombos, e toma o meu bordão na tua mão, e vae; se encontrares alguem, não o saudes; e se alguem te saudar, não lhe respondas: e põe o meu bordão sobre o rosto do menino.
30 But the mother of the child said: As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. He arose, therefore, and followed her.
Porém disse a mãe do menino: Vive o Senhor, e vive a tua alma, que não te hei de deixar. Então elle se levantou, e a seguiu.
31 But Giezi was gone before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child, and there was no voice nor sense: and he returned to meet him, and told him, saying: The child is not risen.
E Geazi passou diante d'elles, e poz o bordão sobre o rosto do menino; porém não havia n'elle voz nem sentido: e voltou a encontrar-se com elle, e lhe trouxe aviso, dizendo: Não despertou o menino.
32 Eliseus therefore went into the house, and behold the child lay dead on his bed.
E, chegando Eliseo áquella casa, eis que o menino jazia morto sobre a sua cama.
33 And going in he shut the door upon him, and upon the child, and prayed to the Lord.
Então entrou elle, e fechou a porta sobre elles ambos, e orou ao Senhor.
34 And he went up, and lay upon the child: and he put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he bowed himself upon him, and the child’s flesh grew warm.
E subiu, e deitou-se sobre o menino, e, pondo a sua bocca sobre a bocca d'elle, e os seus olhos sobre os olhos d'elle, e as suas mãos sobre as mãos d'elle, se estendeu sobre elle: e a carne do menino aqueceu.
35 Then he returned and walked in the house, once to and fro: and he went up, and lay upon him: and the child gaped seven times, and opened his eyes.
Depois voltou, e passeou n'aquella casa d'uma parte para a outra, e tornou a subir, e se estendeu sobre elle; então o menino espirrou sete vezes, e o menino abriu os olhos.
36 And he called Giezi, and said to him: Call this Sunamitess. And she being called, went in to him: and he said: Take up thy son.
Então chamou a Geazi, e disse: Chama esta sunamita. E chamou-a, e veiu a elle. E disse elle: Toma o teu filho.
37 She came and fell at his feet, and worshipped upon the ground: and took up her son, and went out.
E veiu ella, e se prostrou a seus pés, e se inclinou á terra; e tomou o seu filho, e saiu.
38 And Eliseus returned to Galgal, and there was a famine in the land, and the sons of the prophets dwelt before him. And he said to one of his servants: Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.
E, voltando Eliseo a Gilgal, havia fome n'aquella terra, e os filhos dos prophetas estavam assentados na sua presença: e disse ao seu moço: Põe a panella grande ao lume, e faze um caldo de hervas para os filhos dos prophetas.
39 And one went out into the field to gather wild herbs: and he found something like a wild vine, and gathered of it wild gourds of the field, and filled his mantle, and coming back he shred them into the pot of pottage, for he knew not what it was.
Então um saiu ao campo a apanhar hervas, e achou uma parra brava, e colheu d'ella a sua capa cheia de coloquintidas: e veiu, e as cortou na panella do caldo; porque as não conheciam.
40 And they poured it out for their companions to eat: and when they had tasted of the pottage, they cried out, saying: Death is in the pot, O man of God. And they could not eat thereof.
Assim tiraram de comer para os homens. E succedeu que, comendo elles d'aquelle caldo, clamaram e disseram: Homem de Deus, ha morte na panella. Não poderam comer.
41 But he said: Bring some meal. And when they had brought it, he cast it into the pot, and said: Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was now no bitterness in the pot.
Porém elle disse: Trazei pois farinha. E deitou-a na panella, e disse: Tirae de comer para o povo. Então não havia mal nenhum na panella.
42 And a certain man came from Baalsalisa bringing to the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty leaves of barley, and new corn in his scrip. And he said: Give to the people, that they may eat.
E um homem veiu de Baal-salisha, e trouxe ao homem de Deus pães das primicias, vinte pães de cevada, e espigas verdes na sua palha, e disse: Dá ao povo, para que coma.
43 And his servant answered him: How much is this, that I should set it before a hundred men? He said again: Give to the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the Lord: They shall eat, and there shall be left.
Porém seu servo disse: Como hei de eu pôr isto diante de cem homens? E disse elle: Dá-o ao povo, para que coma; porque assim diz o Senhor: Comer-se-ha, e sobejará.
44 So he set it before them: and they ate, and there was left according to the word of the Lord.
Então lh'os poz diante, e comeram, e deixaram sobejos, conforme a palavra do Senhor.
