1 Reis 19
1 E Achab fez saber a Jezabel tudo quanto Elias havia feito, e como totalmente matara todos os prophetas á espada.
And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
2 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.
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.
3 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.
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.
4 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.
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 Jehovah, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.
5 E deitou-se, e dormiu debaixo d'um zimbro: e eis que então um anjo o tocou, e lhe disse: Levanta-te, come.
And he lay down and slept under a juniper-tree; and, behold, an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.
6 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.
And he looked, and, behold, there was at his head a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again.
7 E o anjo do Senhor tornou segunda vez, e o tocou, e disse: Levanta-te e come, porque mui comprido te será o caminho.
And the angel of Jehovah came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for thee.
8 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.
And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.
9 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?
And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of Jehovah came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?
10 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.
And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah, the God of hosts; 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.
11 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:
And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before Jehovah. And, behold, Jehovah passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before Jehovah; but Jehovah was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but Jehovah was not in the earthquake:
12 E depois do terremoto um fogo; porém tambem o Senhor não estava no fogo: e depois do fogo uma voz mansa e delicada.
and after the earthquake a fire; but Jehovah was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
13 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?
And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped 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 doest thou here, Elijah?
14 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.
And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah, the God of hosts; 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.
15 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.
And Jehovah said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, thou shalt anoint Hazael to be king over Syria;
16 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.
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.
17 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.
And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth from the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay; and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.
18 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.
Yet will I leave [me] seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.
19 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.
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 over unto him, and cast his mantle upon him.
20 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?
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?
21 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.
And he returned from following him, and took the 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.
