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 Achab told Izebel all that Elijah had done, and withal that 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 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.
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 this, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba', which belongeth to Judah, and he left his young man 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 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.
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 laid himself down and slept under a certain broom-bush, and, behold then, an angel was touching him, and said unto him, Arise, 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 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.
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 the Lord came again, the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise, eat; because the journey is yet far 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 ate and drank; and he went on the strength of that eating forty days and forty nights unto the mount of God, Horeb.
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 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?
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 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.
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 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;
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 was a fire; but not in the fire was the Lord; and after the fire was the sound of a soft whisper.
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 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?
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 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.
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 the Lord said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus; and go, anoint Chazael 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-mecholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy stead.
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 the sword of Chazael shall Jehu slay; and him that escapeth 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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?
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 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.
