1 Kings 19
1 And Achab told Izebel all that Elijah had done, and withal that he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
E Acabe deu a notícia a Jezabel de tudo o que Elias havia feito, de como havia matado à espada a todos os profetas.
2 Then sent Izebel a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So may the gods do to me, and may they thus continue, if about this time tomorrow I do not render thy life as the life of any one of them.
Então enviou Jezabel a Elias um mensageiro, dizendo: Assim me façam os deuses, e assim me acrescentem, se amanhã a estas horas eu não haja posto tua pessoa como a de um deles.
3 And when he saw this, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba', which belongeth to Judah, and he left his young man there.
Vendo, pois, o perigo, levantou-se e foi-se por salvar sua vida, e veio a Berseba, que é em Judá, e deixou ali seu criado.
4 But he himself went forward into the wilderness a day's journey, and he came and sat down under a certain broom-bush: and he requested for himself to die; and he said, It is enough, now, O Lord, take away my soul; for I am not better than my fathers.
E ele se foi pelo deserto um dia de caminho, e veio e sentou-se debaixo de um junípero; e desejando morrer, disse: Basta já, ó SENHOR, tira minha alma; que não sou eu melhor que meus pais.
5 And he laid himself down and slept under a certain broom-bush, and, behold then, an angel was touching him, and said unto him, Arise, eat.
E lançando-se debaixo do junípero, ficou dormido: e eis que logo um anjo que lhe tocou, e lhe disse: Levanta-te, come.
6 And he looked about, and, behold, there was at his head a cake baked on coals, and a cruise of water; and he ate and drank, and laid himself down again.
Então ele olhou, e eis que a sua cabeceira uma torta cozida sobre as ascuas, e um vaso de água: e comeu e bebeu e voltou-se a dormir.
7 And the angel of the Lord came again, the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise, eat; because the journey is yet far for thee.
E voltando o anjo do SENHOR a segunda vez, tocou-lhe, dizendo: Levanta-te, come: porque grande caminho te resta.
8 And he arose, and ate and drank; and he went on the strength of that eating forty days and forty nights unto the mount of God, Horeb.
Levantou-se, pois, e comeu e bebeu; e caminhou com a força daquela comida quarenta dias e quarenta noites, até o monte de Deus, Horebe.
9 And he came there unto a cave, and remained there over night: and, behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and said unto him, What dost thou here, Elijah?
E ali se meteu em uma cova, de onde teve a noite. E foi a ele palavra do SENHOR, o qual lhe disse: Que fazes aqui, Elias?
10 And he said, I have been very zealous for the Lord, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thy altars have they thrown down, and thy prophets have they slain with the sword: and I am left by myself alone, and they have sought my life, to take it away.
E ele respondeu: Tenho sentido um zelo intenso pelo SENHOR Deus dos exércitos; porque os filhos de Israel deixaram tua aliança, derrubaram teus altares, e mataram à espada teus profetas: e eu só restei, e me buscam para tirar-me a vida.
11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord: and, behold, the Lord passed by, and a wind, great and strong, rending the mountains, and breaking in pieces the rocks [went] before the Lord; but not in the wind was the Lord: and after the wind was an earthquake: but not in the earthquake was the Lord;
E ele lhe disse: Sai fora, e põe-te no monte diante do SENHOR. E eis que o SENHOR que passava, e um grande e poderoso vento que rompia os montes, e quebrava as penhas diante do SENHOR: mas o SENHOR não estava no vento. E depois do vento um terremoto: mas o SENHOR não estava no terremoto.
12 And after the earthquake was a fire; but not in the fire was the Lord; and after the fire was the sound of a soft whisper.
E depois do terremoto um fogo: mas o SENHOR não estava no fogo. E depois do fogo uma voz agradável e suave.
13 And it came to pass, when Elijah heard it, that he concealed his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave: and, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What dost thou here, Elijah?
E quando o ouviu Elias, cobriu seu rosto com seu manto, e saiu, e parou-se à porta da cova. E eis que chegou uma voz a ele, dizendo: Que fazes aqui, Elias?
14 And he said, I have been very zealous for the Lord, the God of hosts; because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thy altars have they thrown down, and thy prophets have they slain with the sword: and I am left by myself alone, and they have sought my life, to take it away.
E ele respondeu: Tenho sentido um zelo intenso pelo SENHOR Deus dos exércitos; porque os filhos de Israel deixaram tua aliança, derrubaram teus altares, e mataram à espada teus profetas: e eu só restei, e me buscam para tirar-me a vida.
15 And the Lord said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus; and go, anoint Chazael to be king over Syria;
E disse-lhe o SENHOR: Vai, volta-te por teu caminho, pelo deserto de Damasco: e chegarás, e ungirás a Hazael por rei da Síria;
16 And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel; and Elisha' the son of Shaphat of Abel-mecholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy stead.
E a Jeú, filho de Ninsi, ungirás por rei sobre Israel; e a Eliseu filho de Safate, de Abel-Meolá, ungirás para que seja profeta em lugar de ti.
17 And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Chazael shall Jehu slay; and him that escapeth the sword of Jehu shall Elisha' slay.
E será, que o que escapar da espada, de Hazael, Jeú o matará; e o que escapar da espada de Jeú, Eliseu o matará.
18 And I will leave in Israel seven thousand, all the knees which have not been bent unto Ba'al, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.
E eu farei que restem em Israel sete mil; todos os joelhos que não se encurvaram a Baal, e bocas todas que não o beijaram.
19 And he departed thence, and found Elisha' the son of Shaphat, who was ploughing; twelve yoke of oxen were before him, and he was with the twelfth: and Elijah passed up to him, and cast his mantle toward him.
E partindo-se ele dali, achou a Eliseu filho de Safate, que arava com doze juntas diante de si; e ele era um dos doze trabalhadores. E passando Elias por diante dele, lançou sobre ele seu manto.
20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss but my father and my mother, and I will [then] follow thee: and he said unto him, Go, return; for what have I done to thee?
Então deixando ele os bois, veio correndo após Elias, e disse: Rogo-te que me deixes beijar meu pai e minha mãe, e logo te seguirei. E ele lhe disse: Vai, volta: que te fiz eu?
21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and with the instruments of the oxen he boiled the flesh for them, and he gave it unto the people, and they did eat; and then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.
E interrompeu de segui-lo, tomou um par de bois, e os matou, e com o arado dos bois cozeu a carne deles, e deu-a ao povo que comessem. Depois se levantou, e foi atrás de Elias, e o servia.
