2 Reis 2
1 Succedeu pois que, havendo o Senhor de elevar a Elias n'um redemoinho ao céu, Elias partiu com Eliseo de Gilgal.
And it came to pass, when the Lord was about to take up Elijah by a storm-wind to heaven, that Elijah went out with Elisha' from Gilgal.
2 E disse Elias a Eliseo: Fica-te aqui, porque o Senhor me enviou a Bethel. Porém Eliseo disse: Vive o Senhor, e vive a tua alma, que te não deixarei. E assim foram a Bethel.
And Elijah said unto Elisha', Remain, I pray thee, here; for the Lord hath sent me as far as Beth-el. But Elisha' said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Beth-el.
3 Então os filhos dos prophetas que estavam em Bethel sairam a Eliseo, e lhe disseram: Sabes que o Senhor hoje tomará o teu senhor por de cima da tua cabeça? E elle disse: Tambem eu bem o sei; calae-vos.
And the sons of the prophets that were at Beth-el came forth to Elisha', and said unto him, Knowest thou that today the Lord will take away thy master from thy head? And he said, I also know it; be still.
4 E Elias lhe disse: Eliseo, fica-te aqui, porque o Senhor me enviou a Jericó. Porém elle disse: Vive o Senhor, e vive a tua alma, que te não deixarei. E assim vieram a Jericó.
And Elijah said unto him, Elisha', remain, I pray thee, here; for the Lord hath sent me to Jericho. But he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.
5 Então os filhos dos prophetas que estavam em Jericó se chegaram a Eliseo, e lhe disseram: Sabes que o Senhor hoje tomará o teu senhor por de cima da tua cabeça? E elle disse: Tambem eu bem o sei; calae-vos.
And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came near to Elisha', and said unto him, Knowest thou that today the Lord will take away thy master from thy head? And he said, I also know it; be still.
6 E Elias disse: Fica-te aqui, porque o Senhor me enviou ao Jordão. Mas elle disse: Vive o Senhor, e vive a tua alma, que te não deixarei. E assim ambos foram juntos.
And Elijah said unto him, Remain, I pray thee, here; for the Lord hath sent me to the Jordan. But he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So these two went on.
7 E foram cincoenta homens dos filhos dos prophetas, e de longe pararam defronte: e elles ambos pararam junto ao Jordão.
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood opposite [to them] afar off: and those two stood by the Jordan.
8 Então Elias tomou a sua capa, e a dobrou, e feriu as aguas, as quaes se dividiram para as duas bandas: e passaram ambos em secco.
And Elijah took his mantle, and folded it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, and they went, both of them, over on dry ground.
9 Succedeu pois que, havendo elles passado, Elias disse a Eliseo: Pede-me o que queres que te faça, antes que seja tomado de ti. E disse Eliseo: Peço-te que haja porção dobrada de teu espirito sobre mim
And it came to pass, when they passed over, that Elijah said unto Elisha', Ask what I shall do for thee, before I shall be taken away from thee. And Elisha' said, Let there be, I pray thee, a double portion of thy spirit upon me.
10 E disse: Coisa dura pediste; se me vires quando fôr tomado de ti, assim se te fará, porém, se não, não se fará
And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so [given] unto thee; but if not, it shall not be.
11 E succedeu que, indo elles andando e fallando, eis que um carro de fogo, com cavallos de fogo, os separou um do outro: e Elias subiu ao céu n'um redemoinho.
And it came to pass, as they went on, speaking as they were going, that, behold, there came a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a storm-wind to heaven.
12 O que vendo Eliseo, clamou: Meu pae, meu pae, carros de Israel, e seus cavalleiros! E nunca mais o viu: e, travando dos seus vestidos, os rasgou em duas partes.
And Elisha' saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and their horsemen. And he saw him no more; and he took hold of his clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
13 Tambem levantou a capa de Elias, que lhe caira: e tornou-se, e parou á borda do Jordão.
And he lifted up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and went back, and stood by the border of the Jordan;
14 E tomou a capa de Elias, que lhe caira, e feriu as aguas, e disse: Onde está o Senhor, Deus de Elias? Então feriu as aguas, e se dividiram ellas d'uma e outra banda; e Eliseo passou.
And he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the Lord the God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither; and Elisha' passed over.
15 Vendo-o pois os filhos dos prophetas que estavam defronte em Jericó, disseram: O espirito de Elias repousa sobre Eliseo. E vieram-lhe ao encontro, e se prostraram diante d'elle em terra.
And when the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho, at a distance, saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah Doth rest on Elisha'. And they came forth to meet him, and bowed themselves unto him to the ground.
16 E disseram-lhe: Eis que com teus servos ha cincoenta homens valentes; ora deixa-os ir para buscar a teu senhor; pode ser que o elevasse o Espirito do Senhor, e o lançasse n'algum dos montes, ou n'algum dos valles. Porém elle disse: Não os envieis.
And they said unto him, Behold now, there are among thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master; peradventure the Spirit of the Lord hath taken him up, and cast him upon one of the mountains, or into one of the valleys. And he said, Ye must not send.
17 Mas elles apertaram com elle, até se enfastiar; e disse-lhes: Enviae. E enviaram cincoenta homens, que o buscaram tres dias, porém não o acharam.
And they urged him till he was ashamed, when he said, Send. And they sent fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not.
18 Então voltaram para elle, tendo elle ficado em Jericó: e disse-lhes: Eu não vos disse que não fosseis?
And they returned again to him, for he had remained at Jericho; and he then said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Ye should not go?
19 E os homens da cidade disseram a Eliseo: Eis que boa é a habitação d'esta cidade, como o meu senhor vê; porém as aguas são más, e a terra é esteril
And the men of the city said unto Elisha', Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is good, as my Lord seeth; but the water is bad, and the land causeth untimely births.
20 E elle disse: Trazei-me uma salva nova, e ponde n'ella sal. E lh'a trouxeram.
And he said, Fetch me a new flask, and put salt therein: and they fetched it to him.
21 Então saiu elle ao manancial das aguas, e deitou sal n'elle; e disse: Assim diz o Senhor: Sararei a estas aguas; não haverá mais n'ellas morte nem esterilidade.
And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast therein the salt, and said, Thus hath said the Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from there any more death or untimely births.
22 Ficaram pois sãs aquellas aguas até ao dia d'hoje, conforme á palavra que Eliseo tinha dito.
So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the word of Elisha' which he spoke.
23 Então subiu d'ali a Bethel: e, subindo elle pelo caminho, uns moços pequenos sairam da cidade, e zombavam d'elle, e diziam-lhe: Sobe, calvo, sobe, calvo!
And he went up from there to Beth-el: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth young lads out of the city, and they mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, bald-head! go up, bald-head!
24 E, virando-se elle para traz, os viu, e os amaldiçoou no nome do Senhor: então duas ursas sairam do bosque, e despedaçaram d'elles quarenta e dois meninos.
And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord; and there came forth two she-bears out of the forest, and tore of them forty and two boys.
25 E foi-se d'ali para o monte Carmelo: e d'ali voltou para Samaria.
And he went from there to mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
