< 2 Reis 4 >

1 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.
Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear Jehovah: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two children to be bondmen.
2 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.
And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me; what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thy handmaid hath not anything in the house, save a pot of oil.
3 Então disse elle: Vae, pede para ti vasos emprestados, a todos os teus visinhos, vasos vasios, não poucos.
Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbors, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.
4 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.
And thou shalt go in, and shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and pour out into all those vessels; and thou shalt set aside that which is full.
5 Partiu pois d'elle, e fechou a porta sobre si e sobre seus filhos; e elles lhe traziam os vasos, e ella os enchia.
So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons; they brought [the vessels] to her, and she poured out.
6 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.
And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.
7 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.
Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy sons of the rest.
8 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.
And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.
9 E ella disse a seu marido: Eis que tenho observado, que este que sempre passa por nós é um sancto homem de Deus.
And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God, that passeth by us continually.
10 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.
Let us make, I pray thee, a little chamber on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a seat, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.
11 E succedeu um dia que veiu ali, e retirou-se áquelle quarto, e se deitou ali.
And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber and lay there.
12 Então disse ao seu moço Geazi: Chama esta sunamita. E chamando-a elle, ella se poz diante d'elle.
And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.
13 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.
And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.
14 Então disse elle: Que se ha de fazer pois por ella? E Geazi disse: Ora ella não tem filho, e seu marido é velho.
And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no son, and her husband is old.
15 Pelo que disse elle: Chama-a. E, chamando-a elle, ella se poz á porta.
And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.
16 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.
And he said, At this season, when the time cometh round, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thy handmaid.
17 E concebeu a mulher, e pariu um filho, ao tal tempo determinado, segundo o tempo da vida que Eliseo lhe dissera.
And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season, when the time came round, as Elisha had said unto her.
18 E, crescendo o filho, succedeu que um dia saiu para seu pae que estava com os segadores.
And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.
19 E disse a seu pae: Ai, a minha cabeça! ai, a minha cabeça! Então disse a um moço: Leva-o a sua mãe
And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to his servant, Carry him to his mother.
20 E elle o tomou, e o levou a sua mãe: e esteve sobre os seus joelhos até ao meio dia, e morreu.
And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.
21 E subiu ella, e o deitou sobre a cama do homem de Deus; e fechou sobre elle a porta, e saiu.
And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut [the door] upon him, and went out.
22 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.
And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the servants, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.
23 E disse elle: Porque vaes a elle hoje? não é lua nova nem sabbado. E ella disse: Tudo vae bem.
And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to-day? it is neither new moon nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.
24 Então albardou a jumenta, e disse ao seu moço: Guia e anda, e não te detenhas no caminhar, senão quando eu t'o disser.
Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slacken me not the riding, except I bid thee.
25 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.
So she went, and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is the Shunammite:
26 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.
run, I pray thee, now to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well.
27 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.
And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. And Gehazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, Let her alone: for her soul is vexed within her; and Jehovah hath hid it from me, and hath not told me.
28 E disse ella: Pedi eu a meu senhor algum filho? Não disse eu: Não me enganes?
Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?
29 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.
Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.
30 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.
And the mother of the child said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her.
31 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.
And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he returned to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.
32 E, chegando Eliseo áquella casa, eis que o menino jazia morto sobre a sua cama.
And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.
33 Então entrou elle, e fechou a porta sobre elles ambos, e orou ao Senhor.
He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto Jehovah.
34 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.
And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched himself upon him; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.
35 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.
Then he returned, and walked in the house once to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
36 Então chamou a Geazi, e disse: Chama esta sunamita. E chamou-a, e veiu a elle. E disse elle: Toma o teu filho.
And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son.
37 E veiu ella, e se prostrou a seus pés, e se inclinou á terra; e tomou o seu filho, e saiu.
Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground; and she took up her son, and went out.
38 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.
And Elisha came again to Gilgal. And there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.
39 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.
And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage; for they knew them not.
40 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.
So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof.
41 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.
But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot.
42 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.
And there came a man from Baal-shalishah, 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 unto the people, that they may eat.
43 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.
And his servant said, What, should I set this before a hundred men? But he said, Give the people, that they may eat; for thus saith Jehovah, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof.
44 Então lh'os poz diante, e comeram, e deixaram sobejos, conforme a palavra do Senhor.
So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of Jehovah.
