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.
The wife of one of the sons of the prophets appealed to Elisha, “My husband, your servant, is dead, and you know that he honored the Lord. But now to pay his debts his creditor is coming to take my two sons as his slaves!”
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.
“What can I do to help you?” asked Elisha. “Tell me, what do you have in your house?” “I, your servant, don't have anything in my house except a jar of olive oil,” she replied.
3 Então disse elle: Vae, pede para ti vasos emprestados, a todos os teus visinhos, vasos vasios, não poucos.
“Go and borrow empty jars from your neighbors—as many as possible, not just a few,” Elisha told her.
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.
“Then go inside, shut the door behind you and your sons, and start pouring olive oil into all these jars, placing the full jars to one side.”
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.
She left Elisha, went home, and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept on pouring.
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.
When all the jars were full, she told her son, “Bring me another one.” But he replied, “There aren't any jars left.” Then the olive oil stopped flowing.
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.
She went and told the man of God what had happened, and he said, “Go and sell the olive oil and pay your debts, and you and your sons can live on what's left.”
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.
One day as Elisha was passing through Shunem, a wealthy woman who lived there convinced him to have a meal. After that, whenever he was passing by he would stop there to eat.
9 E ella disse a seu marido: Eis que tenho observado, que este que sempre passa por nós é um sancto homem de Deus.
She told her husband, “I'm sure that this man who regularly visits us is a holy man of God.
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.
Please let's make a small room on the roof, We can put a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp in it for him. Then he can stay there whenever he visits us.”
11 E succedeu um dia que veiu ali, e retirou-se áquelle quarto, e se deitou ali.
One day Elisha arrived and went up to his room and lay down.
12 Então disse ao seu moço Geazi: Chama esta sunamita. E chamando-a elle, ella se poz diante d'elle.
He said to his servant Gehazi, “Ask the Shunammite woman to come here.” Gehazi called her and she came to see Elisha.
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.
Elisha said to Gehazi, “Please tell her, ‘You have gone to a lot of trouble on our behalf. Now what can we do for you? Do you want us to speak for you to the king or the army commander?’” “I live with my own people,” she replied.
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.
After she had left, Elisha asked, “What can we do for her?” “She doesn't have a son, and her husband is old,” Gehazi replied.
15 Pelo que disse elle: Chama-a. E, chamando-a elle, ella se poz á porta.
Elisha said, “Ask her to come back.” So Gehazi called her, and she came stood by 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.
Elisha told her, “Around this time next year, you will be holding a son in your arms.” “No, my lord!” she responded. “Man of God, don't tell your servant lies!”
17 E concebeu a mulher, e pariu um filho, ao tal tempo determinado, segundo o tempo da vida que Eliseo lhe dissera.
But the woman did indeed become pregnant, and the next year around that same time she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had promised her.
18 E, crescendo o filho, succedeu que um dia saiu para seu pae que estava com os segadores.
The child grew up, but one day he when went out to see his father who was with 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
he complained to his father, “My head hurts! My head hurts!” His father told one of his servants, “Carry him back 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.
The servant picked him up and took him back to his mother. The boy sat on her lap until noon, and then he died.
21 E subiu ella, e o deitou sobre a cama do homem de Deus; e fechou sobre elle a porta, e saiu.
She went upstairs and laid him on the bed of the man of God. Then she shut the door behind her and left.
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.
She called her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants and a donkey so I can run to the man of God and come back.”
23 E disse elle: Porque vaes a elle hoje? não é lua nova nem sabbado. E ella disse: Tudo vae bem.
“Why do you need to go and see him today?” he asked. “It's not the New Moon or the Sabbath.” “Don't worry about it,” she replied.
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.
She put the saddle on the donkey and told her servant, “Let's go quickly! Don't slow down for me unless I tell you to!”
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 set off, and went to the man of God who was at Mount Carmel. When he saw her way in the distance, the man of God told his servant Gehazi, “Look! There's the Shunammite woman!
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.
Please run to meet her and ask her, ‘Is everything fine with you, your husband, and your boy?’” “Everything's fine,” she replied.
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.
But when she got to the man of God at the mountain, she grabbed hold of his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for she's in terrible misery, but the Lord has hidden it from me and has not explained it to me.”
28 E disse ella: Pedi eu a meu senhor algum filho? Não disse eu: Não me enganes?
“Did I ask you for a son, my lord?” she asked. “Didn't I tell you, ‘Don't tell me lies’?”
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.
Elisha said to Gehazi, “Put your cloak in your belt, pick up my staff, and go! Don't even say hello to anyone you meet, and if anyone says hello you, don't reply. Place my staff on the boy's face.”
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.
But the boy's mother said, “As the Lord lives and as you live, I'm not leaving without you!” So he got up and went with 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.
Gehazi ran on ahead and placed the staff on the boy's face, but there was no sound or sign of life. So Gehazi went back to meet Elisha and told him, “The boy hasn't woken up.”
32 E, chegando Eliseo áquella casa, eis que o menino jazia morto sobre a sua cama.
When Elisha got to the house, there was the boy, lying dead on his bed.
33 Então entrou elle, e fechou a porta sobre elles ambos, e orou ao Senhor.
He went in, shut the door behind them both, and prayed to the Lord.
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.
Then he got on the bed and lay on top of the boy, and put his mouth on the boy's mouth, his eyes on the boy's eyes, his hands on the boy's hands. As he stretched out on him, the boy's body warmed up.
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.
Elisha got up, walked back and forth once in the room, and then got back on the bed and stretched out on him again. The boy sneezed seven times and then 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.
Elisha called Gehazi and said, “Ask the Shunammite woman to come.” So he did. When she arrived, Elisha said to her, “Here's your son. You can pick him up.”
37 E veiu ella, e se prostrou a seus pés, e se inclinou á terra; e tomou o seu filho, e saiu.
She came in, fell at his feet, and bowed to the ground. Then she picked up her son and left.
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.
When Elisha went back to Gilgal, there was a famine in that area. The sons of the prophets were sitting at his feet, and he said to his servant, “Use the large pot and boil some stew 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.
One of them went out into the countryside to pick herbs. He found a wild vine and picked as many wild gourds as his cloak could hold. Then he came back and chopped them up into the pot of stew. But nobody knew they were dangerous to eat.
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.
They served it to the men to eat, but when they tasted the stew they shouted, “There's death in the pot, man of God!” They couldn't eat it.
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.
Elisha said, “Get some flour.” He threw it into the pot, and said, “Serve it to the people to eat.” There was nothing bad to eat 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.
A man from Baal-shalishah came to the man of God with a sack of firstfruits—the first grain of the year, along with twenty loaves of barley bread. “Give it to the people to eat,” said Elisha.
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.
“How can I serve just twenty loaves to a hundred men?” his servant asked. “Give it to the people to eat,” said Elisha, “for this is what the Lord says: ‘They will eat and there will still be some left over.’”
44 Então lh'os poz diante, e comeram, e deixaram sobejos, conforme a palavra do Senhor.
So he served the bread to them. They ate, and had some left over, just as the Lord had said.
