2 Reis 6
1 E disseram os filhos dos prophetas a Eliseo: Eis que o logar em que habitamos diante da tua face, nos é estreito.
And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell before thee is too confined for us.
2 Vamos pois até ao Jordão, e tomemos de lá, cada um de nós, uma viga, e façamo-nos ali um logar, para habitar ali: e disse elle: Ide.
Let us go, we pray thee, to the Jordan, and every man take a beam from there, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye.
3 E disse um: Serve-te d'ires com os teus servos. E disse: Eu irei.
And one said, Be pleased, I pray thee, to go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go.
4 E foi com elles: e, chegando elles ao Jordão, cortaram madeira.
So he went with them. And when they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.
5 E succedeu que, derribando um d'elles uma viga, o ferro caiu na agua: e clamou, e disse: Ai, meu senhor! porque era emprestado.
But as one was felling a beam, the axe-head fell into the water. And he cried, and said, Alas, my master! For it was borrowed.
6 E disse o homem de Deus: Onde caiu? E mostrando-lhe elle o logar, cortou um páo, e o lançou ali, e fez nadar o ferro.
And the man of God said, Where did it fall? And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in there, and made the iron to float.
7 E disse: Levanta-o. Então elle estendeu a sua mão e o tomou.
And he said, Take it up to thee. So he put out his hand, and took it.
8 E o rei da Syria fazia guerra a Israel: e consultou com os seus servos, dizendo: Em tal e em tal logar estará o meu acampamento.
Now the king of Syria was warring against Israel, and he took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.
9 Mas o homem de Deus enviou ao rei de Israel, dizendo: Guarda-te de passares por tal logar; porque os syros desceram ali.
And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou not pass such a place, for the Syrians are coming down there.
10 Pelo que o rei de Israel enviou áquelle logar, de que o homem de Deus lhe dissera, e de que o tinha avisado, e se guardou ali, não uma nem duas vezes.
And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of. And he saved himself there, not once nor twice.
11 Então se turbou com este incidente o coração do rei da Syria, e chamou os seus servos, e lhes disse: Não me fareis saber quem dos nossos é pelo rei de Israel?
And the heart of the king of Syria was greatly troubled for this thing, and he called his servants, and said to them, Will ye not show me which of us is for the king of Israel?
12 E disse um dos seus servos: Não, ó rei meu senhor; mas o propheta Eliseo, que está em Israel, faz saber ao rei de Israel as palavras que tu fallas na tua camara de dormir.
And one of his servants said, No, my lord, O king, but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel tells the king of Israel the words that thou speak in thy bedchamber.
13 E elle disse: Vae, e vê onde elle está, para que envie, e mande trazel-o. E fizeram-lhe saber, dizendo: Eis que está em Dothan.
And he said, Go and see where he is that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
14 Então enviou para lá cavallos, e carros, e um grande exercito, os quaes vieram de noite, e cercaram a cidade.
Therefore he sent there horses, and chariots, and a great army. And they came by night, and encompassed the city about.
15 E o moço do homem de Deus se levantou mui cedo, e saiu, e eis que um exercito tinha cercado a cidade com cavallos e carros; então o seu moço lhe disse: Ai, meu senhor! que faremos?
And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an army with horses and chariots was round about the city. And his servant said to him, Alas, my master! What shall we do?
16 E elle disse: Não temas; porque mais são os que estão comnosco do que os que estão com elles.
And he answered, Fear not, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.
17 E orou Eliseo, e disse: Senhor, peço-te que lhe abras os olhos, para que veja. E o Senhor abriu os olhos do moço, e viu; e eis que o monte estava cheio de cavallos e carros de fogo, em redor de Eliseo.
And Elisha prayed, and said, Jehovah, I pray thee, open his eyes that he may see. And Jehovah opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
18 E, como desceram a elle, Eliseo orou ao Senhor, e disse: Fere, peço-te, esta gente de cegueira. E feriu-a de cegueira, conforme a palavra de Eliseo.
And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed to Jehovah, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
19 Então Eliseo lhes disse: Não é este o caminho, nem é esta a cidade; segui-me, e guiar-vos-hei ao homem que buscaes. E os guiou a Samaria.
And Elisha said to them, This is not the way, neither is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. And he led them to Samaria.
20 E succedeu que, chegando elles a Samaria, disse Eliseo: Ó Senhor, abre a estes os olhos para que vejam. O Senhor lhes abriu os olhos, para que vissem, e eis que estavam no meio de Samaria.
And it came to pass, when they came into Samaria, that Elisha said, Jehovah, open the eyes of these men that they may see. And Jehovah opened their eyes, and they saw. And, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
21 E, quando o rei de Israel os viu, disse a Eliseo: Feril-os-hei, feril-os-hei, meu pae?
And the king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? Shall I smite them?
22 Mas elle disse: Não os ferirás; feririas tu os que tomasses prisioneiros com a tua espada e com o teu arco? põe-lhes diante pão e agua, para que comam e bebam, e se vão para seu senhor.
And he answered, Thou shall not smite them. Would thou smite those whom thou have taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? Set bread and water before them that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.
23 E apresentou-lhes um grande banquete, e comeram e beberam; e os despediu e foram para seu senhor: e não entraram mais tropas de syros na terra d'Israel.
And he prepared great provision for them. And when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
24 E succedeu, depois d'isto, que Ben-hadad, rei da Syria, ajuntou todo o seu exercito: e subiu, e cercou a Samaria.
And it came to pass after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
25 E houve grande fome em Samaria, porque eis que a cercaram, até que se vendeu uma cabeça d'um jumento por oitenta peças de prata, e a quarta parte d'um cabo desterco de pombas por cinco peças de prata.
And there was a great famine in Samaria. And, behold, they besieged it until a donkey's head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.
26 E succedeu que, passando o rei pelo muro, uma mulher lhe bradou, dizendo: Acode-me, ó rei meu senhor.
And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, a woman cried out to him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.
27 E elle lhe disse: Se o Senhor te não acode, d'onde te acudirei eu? da eira ou do lagar?
And he said, If Jehovah does not help thee, from where shall I help thee? Out of the threshing-floor, or out of the winepress?
28 Disse-lhe mais o rei: Que tens? E disse ella: Esta mulher me disse: Dá cá o teu filho, para que hoje o comamos, e ámanhã comeremos o meu filho.
And the king said to her, What troubles thee? And she answered, This woman said to me, Give thy son that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.
29 Cozemos pois o meu filho, e o comemos; mas dizendo-lhe eu ao outro dia: Dá cá o teu filho, para que o comamos; escondeu o seu filho.
So we boiled my son, and ate him. And I said to her on the next day, Give thy son that we may eat him. And she has hid her son.
30 E succedeu que, ouvindo o rei as palavras d'esta mulher, rasgou os seus vestidos, e ia passando pelo muro; e o povo viu que eis que trazia cilicio por dentro, sobre a sua carne.
And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he tore his clothes (now he was passing by upon the wall). And the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth inside upon his flesh.
31 E disse: Assim me faça Deus, e outro tanto, se a cabeça de Eliseo, filho de Saphat, hoje ficar sobre elle.
Then he said, God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.
32 Estava então Eliseo assentado em sua casa, e tambem os anciãos estavam assentados com elle. E enviou o rei um homem de diante de si; mas, antes que o mensageiro viesse a elle, disse elle aos anciãos: Vistes como o filho do homicida mandou tirar-me a cabeça? olhae pois que, quando vier o mensageiro lhe fecheis a porta, e o empuxeis para fóra com a porta; porventura não vem o ruido dos pés de seu senhor após elle?
But Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. And the king sent a man from before him, but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, Do ye see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold the door fast against him. Is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?
33 E, estando elle ainda fallando com elles, eis que o mensageiro descia a elle; e disse: Eis que este mal vem do Senhor, que mais pois esperaria do Senhor?
And while he was yet talking with them, behold, the messenger came down to him, and he said, Behold, this evil is of Jehovah. Why should I wait for Jehovah any longer?
