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 unto Elisha', Behold now, the place where we dwell before thee is too narrow 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, as far as the Jordan, and take thence every man one beam, and let us prepare for us there a place to dwell therein. And he said, Go.
3 E disse um: Serve-te d'ires com os teus servos. E disse: Eu irei.
And one said, Give thy assent, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he said, I will indeed go.
4 E foi com elles: e, chegando elles ao Jordão, cortaram madeira.
So he went with them; and they came to the Jordan, and they cut down trees.
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 Lord! it was also 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 thither, and he caused the iron to swim.
7 E disse: Levanta-o. Então elle estendeu a sua mão e o tomou.
And then said he, Lift it up to thee. And he stretched 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.
And the king of Syria made war against Israel, and 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 unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not that place; for thither the Syrians are come down.
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 had told him and warned him of, and he took care of 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?
Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sorely troubled concerning this thing; and he called for his servants, and said unto them, Can ye not tell me who 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, Not so, my Lord, O king; but Elisha', the prophet that is in Israel, can tell unto the king of Israel the words that thou mayest speak in thy sleeping-chamber.
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 unto 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.
And he sent thither horses, and chariots, and a strong army: and they came by night, and surrounded the city.
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 the servant of the man of God rose early, and went forth, when, behold, an army compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how 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 said, Fear not: for those that are with us are more than those that 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, O Lord, open, I pray thee, his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord 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 unto the Lord, and said, Smite, I pray thee, this people 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 unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will lead you to the man whom ye wish to seek. And he led them thus 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 were come into Samaria, that Elisha' said, Lord, open the eyes of these, that they may see. And the Lord 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 unto Elisha', when he saw them, Shall I smite them? Shall I smite them, my father?
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.
But he said, Thou shalt not smite them: wouldst thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go [back] 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 for them a great meal; and they ate and drank, and he sent them away, and they went [back] to their master. And the predatory 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 Ben-hadad the king of Syria assembled all his camp, 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 an ass'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 it happened as the king of Israel was passing along upon the wall, that a woman cried unto 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 the Lord do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? shall it be out of the threshing-floor, or out of the wine-press?
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 unto her, What aileth thee? And she said, This woman said unto me, Give up thy son, that we may eat him today, and my son we will eat 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; but when I said unto her on the next day, Give up thy son, that we may eat him: she 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 rent his clothes, as he was passing along upon the wall: and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth beneath 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 said he, May God do so unto me and continue so yet farther, if the head of Elisha' the son of Shaphat shall remain 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 he sent a man from before him; but before the messenger could yet come to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of the murderer hath sent to remove my head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold him back with the door: 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 speaking with them, behold, the messenger came down unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of the Lord; what shall I hope for in the Lord any longer?
