2 Reis 2
1 Sucedeu pois que, havendo o Senhor de elevar a Elias num redemoinho ao céu, Elias partiu com Eliseo de Gilgal.
And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, 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.
And Elijah said to Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Beth-el. And Elisha said, [As] the LORD liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Beth-el.
3 Então os filhos dos profetas 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 ele disse: também eu bem o sei; calai-vos.
And the sons of the prophets that [were] at Beth-el came forth to Elisha, and said to him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to-day? And he said, Yes, I know [it]; hold ye your peace.
4 E Elias lhe disse: Eliseo, fica-te aqui, porque o Senhor me enviou a Jericó. Porém ele disse: Vive o Senhor, e vive a tua alma, que te não deixarei. E assim vieram a Jericó.
And Elijah said to him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, [As] the LORD liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.
5 Então os filhos dos profetas 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 ele disse: também eu bem o sei; calai-vos.
And the sons of the prophets that [were] at Jericho came to Elisha, and said to him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to-day? And he answered, Yes, I know [it]; hold ye your peace.
6 E Elias disse: Fica-te aqui, porque o Senhor me enviou ao Jordão. Mas ele disse: Vive o Senhor, e vive a tua alma, que te não deixarei. E assim ambos foram juntos.
And Elijah said to him, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, [As] the LORD liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on.
7 E foram cincoênta homens dos filhos dos profetas, e de longe pararam defronte: e eles ambos pararam junto ao Jordão.
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan.
8 Então Elias tomou a sua capa, e a dobrou, e feriu as águas, as quais se dividiram para as duas bandas: e passaram ambos em seco.
And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped [it] together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground.
9 Sucedeu pois que, havendo eles 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 espírito sobre mim
And it came to pass, when they had gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I am taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
10 E disse: Coisa dura pediste; se me vires quando for tomado de ti, assim se te fará, porém, se não, não se fará
And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: [nevertheless], if thou shalt see me [when I am] taken from thee, it shall be so to thee; but if not, it shall not be [so].
11 E sucedeu que, indo eles andando e falando, eis que um carro de fogo, com cavalos de fogo, os separou um do outro: e Elias subiu ao céu num redemoinho.
And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that behold, [there appeared] a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
12 O que vendo Eliseo, clamou: Meu pai, meu pai, carros de Israel, e seus cavaleiros! E nunca mais o viu: e, travando dos seus vestidos, os rasgou em duas partes.
And Elisha saw [it], and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
13 Também levantou a capa de Elias, que lhe caira: e tornou-se, e parou à borda do Jordão.
He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;
14 E tomou a capa de Elias, que lhe caira, e feriu as águas, e disse: Onde está o Senhor, Deus de Elias? Então feriu as águas, e se dividiram elas de uma e outra banda; e Eliseo passou.
And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where [is] the LORD God of Elijah? And when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.
15 Vendo-o pois os filhos dos profetas que estavam defronte em Jericó, disseram: O espírito de Elias repousa sobre Eliseo. E vieram-lhe ao encontro, e se prostraram diante dele em terra.
And when the sons of the prophets who [were] to view at Jericho, saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
16 E disseram-lhe: Eis que com teus servos há cincoênta homens valentes; ora deixa-os ir para buscar a teu senhor; pode ser que o elevasse o espírito do Senhor, e o lançasse em algum dos montes, ou em algum dos vales. Porém ele disse: Não os envieis.
And they said to him, Behold now, there are with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master: lest perhaps the Spirit of the LORD hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send.
17 Mas eles apertaram com ele, até se enfastiar; e disse-lhes: enviai. E enviaram cincoênta homens, que o buscaram três dias, porém não o acharam.
And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not.
18 Então voltaram para ele, tendo ele ficado em Jericó: e disse-lhes: Eu não vos disse que não fosseis?
And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho, ) he said to them, Did I not say to you, Go not?
19 E os homens da cidade disseram a Eliseo: Eis que boa é a habitação desta cidade, como o meu senhor vê; porém as águas são más, e a terra é estéril
And the men of the city said to Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city [is] pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water [is] bad, and the ground barren.
20 E ele disse: Trazei-me uma salva nova, e ponde nela sal. E lha trouxeram.
And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought [it] to him.
21 Então saiu ele ao manancial das águas, e deitou sal nele; e disse: Assim diz o Senhor: Sararei a estas águas; não haverá mais nelas morte nem esterilidade.
And he went forth to the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren [land].
22 Ficaram pois sãs aquelas águas até ao dia de hoje, conforme à palavra que Eliseo tinha dito.
So the waters were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke.
23 Então subiu dali a Bethel: e, subindo ele pelo caminho, uns moços pequenos sairam da cidade, e zombavam dele, e diziam-lhe: Sobe, calvo, sobe, calvo!
And he went up from thence to Beth-el: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, thou bald-head; go up, thou bald-head.
24 E, virando-se ele para traz, os viu, e os amaldiçoou no nome do Senhor: então duas ursas sairam do bosque, e despedaçaram deles quarenta e dois meninos.
And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tore forty and two children of them.
25 E foi-se dali para o monte Carmelo: e dali voltou para Samaria.
And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
