< 1 Kings 19 >
1 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal 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 Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time.
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 And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer–sheba, which belongeth to Judah, 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 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O Yhwh, take away my life; for I am not 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 as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto 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 And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down 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 Yhwh came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee.
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 did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.
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 he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of Yhwh came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?
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 said, I have been very jealous for Yhwh God of Armies: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, 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, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before Yhwh. And, behold, Yhwh passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before Yhwh; but Yhwh was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but Yhwh was 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; but Yhwh was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
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 it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
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 And he said, I have been very jealous for Yhwh God of Armies: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, 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 Yhwh said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, 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 Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel–meholah shalt thou 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 him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.
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 Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.
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 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and 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 left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I 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 he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto 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.
