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.
It happened, when YHWH would take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah went 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.
Elijah said to Elisha, "Please wait here, for YHWH has sent me as far as Bethel." Elisha said, "As YHWH lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." So they went down to Bethel.
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.
The sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, "Do you know that YHWH will take away your master from your head today?" He said, "Yes, I know it; hold your peace."
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.
Elijah said to him, "Elisha, please wait here, for YHWH has sent me to Jericho." He said, "As YHWH lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." 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.
The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came near to Elisha, and said to him, "Do you know that YHWH will take away your master from your head today?" He answered, "Yes, I know it. Hold your peace."
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.
Elijah said to him, "Please wait here, for YHWH has sent me to the Jordan." He said, "As YHWH lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." They both went on.
7 E foram cincoenta homens dos filhos dos prophetas, e de longe pararam defronte: e elles ambos pararam junto ao Jordão.
Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both 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.
Elijah took his cloak, and wrapped it together, and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that the two of them went 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
It happened, when they had gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you." Elisha said, "Please let a double portion of your spirit be on 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
He said, "You have asked a hard thing. If you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so."
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.
It happened, as they still went on, and talked, that look, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into 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.
Elisha saw it, and he cried, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen." He saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and tore 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 picked up the cloak of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank 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 cloak of Elijah that fell from him, and struck the water, and it did not divide. And he said, "Where is YHWH, the God of Elijah, even he?" And he struck the water a second time, and they divided to the one side and to the other; and Elisha crossed 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.
When the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho over against him saw him, they said, "The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha." They came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
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 to him, "See now, there are with your servants fifty strong men. Please let them go and seek your master. Perhaps the Spirit of YHWH has taken him up and thrown him into the Jordan, or on some mountain, or into some valley." And he said, "Do not send them."
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.
When they urged him until he was ashamed, he said, "Send them." They sent therefore fifty men; and they searched for three days, but did not find him.
18 Então voltaram para elle, tendo elle ficado em Jericó: e disse-lhes: Eu não vos disse que não fosseis?
They came back to him, while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, "Did I not tell you not to 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
The men of the city said to Elisha, "Look, please, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land miscarries."
20 E elle disse: Trazei-me uma salva nova, e ponde n'ella sal. E lh'a trouxeram.
He said, "Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it." They brought 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.
He went out to the spring of the waters, and threw salt into it, and said, "Thus says YHWH, 'I have healed these waters. There shall not be from there any more death or miscarrying.'"
22 Ficaram pois sãs aquellas aguas até ao dia d'hoje, conforme á palavra que Eliseo tinha dito.
So the waters were healed to 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!
He went up from there to Bethel. As he was going up by the way, some youths came out of the city and mocked him, and said to him, "Go up, you baldy. Go up, you baldhead."
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.
He looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the name of YHWH. Two female bears came out of the woods, and mauled forty-two of those youths.
25 E foi-se d'ali para o monte Carmelo: e d'ali voltou para Samaria.
He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
