< 2 Kings 4 >
1 Now a wife from among the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD, but the creditor has come to take for himself my two children to be his slaves."
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 Then Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?" And she said, "Your servant has nothing in the house, except a small jar of oil."
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 Then he said, "Go, ask for containers from outside, from all your neighbors, empty containers.
Então disse elle: Vae, pede para ti vasos emprestados, a todos os teus visinhos, vasos vasios, não poucos.
4 Then go in and shut the door behind yourself and your sons and pour into all these containers, and you are to set each one aside when it is full."
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 she left him and shut the door behind herself and her sons; they kept bringing her containers, and she kept pouring.
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 Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, "Bring me another container." But he said to her, "There aren't any more." Then the oil stopped flowing.
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 Then she came and told the man of God, and he said, "Go, sell the oil and pay your debt, and you and your sons can live on 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 Now it happened one day that Elisha traveled to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman, who urged him to eat some food. so whenever he passed by, he would stop in there to eat some food.
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, "Look now, I know that this is a holy man of God who often passes 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 Please, let's make a little room on the wall, and let's set up a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp for him there, so that whenever he comes to us, he can stay 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 it happened one day he came there, and he turned into the upper room and rested.
E succedeu um dia que veiu ali, e retirou-se áquelle quarto, e se deitou ali.
12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, "Call this Shunammite." So he called for 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 And he said to him, "Say now to her, 'Look, you have gone to all this trouble for us. What can I do for you? Can I put in a good word for you to the king, or to the commander of the army?'" She answered, "I have a home among 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 So he said, "What then can I do for her?" And Gehazi replied, "Actually, she has 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 said, "Call her." And when he had called her, she stood in the doorway.
Pelo que disse elle: Chama-a. E, chamando-a elle, ella se poz á porta.
16 And he said, "At this season, when the time comes around, you will be holding a son." And she said, "No, my lord, man of God, do not lie to your servant."
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 But the woman conceived, and bore a son at that season, when the time came around, just as Elisha had said to her.
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 it happened one day that he went out to his father to the harvest workers.
E, crescendo o filho, succedeu que um dia saiu para seu pae que estava com os segadores.
19 And he said to his father, "My head, my head." And he said to his servant, "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, he sat on her lap until noon, and died.
E elle o tomou, e o levou a sua mãe: e esteve sobre os seus joelhos até ao meio dia, e morreu.
21 Then she went up and put him on the bed of the man of God and shut the door behind him and left.
E subiu ella, e o deitou sobre a cama do homem de Deus; e fechou sobre elle a porta, e saiu.
22 Then she called to her husband and said, "Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God and then return."
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 But he said, "Why would you want to see him today? It is not the new moon or Sabbath." And she said, "It's alright."
E disse elle: Porque vaes a elle hoje? não é lua nova nem sabbado. E ella disse: Tudo vae bem.
24 Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, "Lead on; do not slow down for me unless I tell you."
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 and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel. So it happened when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, "Look, there is the Shunammite.
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 Please run now to meet her and ask her, 'Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child?'" And she answered, "It is 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 But when she came to the man of God to the mountain, she grabbed hold of his feet. And Gehazi came near to push her away, but the man of God said, "Leave her alone, for she is in severe anguish, and the LORD has hidden it from me and has 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 Then she said, "Did I ask a son from my lord? Did I not say, 'Do not mislead me?'"
E disse ella: Pedi eu a meu senhor algum filho? Não disse eu: Não me enganes?
29 Then he said to Gehazi, "Tuck your cloak into your belt, and take my staff in your hand, and go. If you meet anyone, do not greet him, and if anyone greets you, do not reply. And lay my staff on 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 lives and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." So he arose 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 Now Gehazi went on ahead of them and placed the staff on the face of the child, but there was no sound or response. Therefore he came back to meet him and told him, saying, "The child did not wake up."
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 When Elisha arrived at the house, look, the child was dead, lying on his bed.
E, chegando Eliseo áquella casa, eis que o menino jazia morto sobre a sua cama.
33 So he went in and shut the door on the two of them and prayed to the LORD.
Então entrou elle, e fechou a porta sobre elles ambos, e orou ao Senhor.
34 Then he got up and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands, and he stretched himself upon him, and the body of the child 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 back and forth, and went up and stretched himself upon him, and the child sneezed seven times and the child 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 Then he called to Gehazi and said, "Call this Shunammite." So he called her. When she had come in to him, he said, "Pick up your 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 Then she came in and fell at his feet and bowed herself to the ground. Then she picked up her son and left.
E veiu ella, e se prostrou a seus pés, e se inclinou á terra; e tomou o seu filho, e saiu.
38 Now Elisha came again to Gilgal, while there was a famine in the land. And the sons of the prophets were sitting before him, and he said to his servant, "Put on the large pot, and boil stew 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 Then one of them went out into the field to gather herbs and found a wild vine, and gathered as many of its gourds as his garment would hold, and came and cut them up into the pot of stew, for he was unaware 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 So they poured out for the men to eat. Now it happened, as they were eating of the stew, that they cried out, and said, "Man of God, there is death in the pot." And they could not eat it.
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 flour." And he threw it into the pot and said, "Pour it out for the people, that they may eat." And there was no harm 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 Now a man from Baal Shalishah came and brought the man of God bread of the first fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of grain in his sack. 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 But his servant said, "What, should I set this before a hundred men?" So he said, "Give them to the people so that they may eat, for thus says the LORD, 'They will eat, and will have some left over.'"
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 had some left over, according to the word of the LORD.
Então lh'os poz diante, e comeram, e deixaram sobejos, conforme a palavra do Senhor.
