1 Reis 19
1 E Acabe deu a notícia a Jezabel de tudo o que Elias havia feito, de como havia matado à espada a todos os profetas.
And Achab told Izebel all that Elijah had done, and withal that he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
2 Então enviou Jezabel a Elias um mensageiro, dizendo: Assim me façam os deuses, e assim me acrescentem, se amanhã a estas horas eu não haja posto tua pessoa como a de um deles.
Then sent Izebel a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So may the gods do to me, and may they thus continue, if about this time tomorrow I do not render thy life as the life of any one of them.
3 Vendo, pois, o perigo, levantou-se e foi-se por salvar sua vida, e veio a Berseba, que é em Judá, e deixou ali seu criado.
And when he saw this, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba', which belongeth to Judah, and he left his young man there.
4 E ele se foi pelo deserto um dia de caminho, e veio e sentou-se debaixo de um junípero; e desejando morrer, disse: Basta já, ó SENHOR, tira minha alma; que não sou eu melhor que meus pais.
But he himself went forward into the wilderness a day's journey, and he came and sat down under a certain broom-bush: and he requested for himself to die; and he said, It is enough, now, O Lord, take away my soul; for I am not better than my fathers.
5 E lançando-se debaixo do junípero, ficou dormido: e eis que logo um anjo que lhe tocou, e lhe disse: Levanta-te, come.
And he laid himself down and slept under a certain broom-bush, and, behold then, an angel was touching him, and said unto him, Arise, eat.
6 Então ele olhou, e eis que a sua cabeceira uma torta cozida sobre as ascuas, e um vaso de água: e comeu e bebeu e voltou-se a dormir.
And he looked about, and, behold, there was at his head a cake baked on coals, and a cruise of water; and he ate and drank, and laid himself down again.
7 E voltando o anjo do SENHOR a segunda vez, tocou-lhe, dizendo: Levanta-te, come: porque grande caminho te resta.
And the angel of the Lord came again, the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise, eat; because the journey is yet far for thee.
8 Levantou-se, pois, e comeu e bebeu; e caminhou com a força daquela comida quarenta dias e quarenta noites, até o monte de Deus, Horebe.
And he arose, and ate and drank; and he went on the strength of that eating forty days and forty nights unto the mount of God, Horeb.
9 E ali se meteu em uma cova, de onde teve a noite. E foi a ele palavra do SENHOR, o qual lhe disse: Que fazes aqui, Elias?
And he came there unto a cave, and remained there over night: and, behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and said unto him, What dost thou here, Elijah?
10 E ele respondeu: Tenho sentido um zelo intenso pelo SENHOR Deus dos exércitos; porque os filhos de Israel deixaram tua aliança, derrubaram teus altares, e mataram à espada teus profetas: e eu só restei, e me buscam para tirar-me a vida.
And he said, I have been very zealous for the Lord, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thy altars have they thrown down, and thy prophets have they slain with the sword: and I am left by myself alone, and they have sought my life, to take it away.
11 E ele lhe disse: Sai fora, e põe-te no monte diante do SENHOR. E eis que o SENHOR que passava, e um grande e poderoso vento que rompia os montes, e quebrava as penhas diante do SENHOR: mas o SENHOR não estava no vento. E depois do vento um terremoto: mas o SENHOR não estava no terremoto.
And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord: and, behold, the Lord passed by, and a wind, great and strong, rending the mountains, and breaking in pieces the rocks [went] before the Lord; but not in the wind was the Lord: and after the wind was an earthquake: but not in the earthquake was the Lord;
12 E depois do terremoto um fogo: mas o SENHOR não estava no fogo. E depois do fogo uma voz agradável e suave.
And after the earthquake was a fire; but not in the fire was the Lord; and after the fire was the sound of a soft whisper.
13 E quando o ouviu Elias, cobriu seu rosto com seu manto, e saiu, e parou-se à porta da cova. E eis que chegou uma voz a ele, dizendo: Que fazes aqui, Elias?
And it came to pass, when Elijah heard it, that he concealed his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave: and, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What dost thou here, Elijah?
14 E ele respondeu: Tenho sentido um zelo intenso pelo SENHOR Deus dos exércitos; porque os filhos de Israel deixaram tua aliança, derrubaram teus altares, e mataram à espada teus profetas: e eu só restei, e me buscam para tirar-me a vida.
And he said, I have been very zealous for the Lord, the God of hosts; because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thy altars have they thrown down, and thy prophets have they slain with the sword: and I am left by myself alone, and they have sought my life, to take it away.
15 E disse-lhe o SENHOR: Vai, volta-te por teu caminho, pelo deserto de Damasco: e chegarás, e ungirás a Hazael por rei da Síria;
And the Lord said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus; and go, anoint Chazael to be king over Syria;
16 E a Jeú, filho de Ninsi, ungirás por rei sobre Israel; e a Eliseu filho de Safate, de Abel-Meolá, ungirás para que seja profeta em lugar de ti.
And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel; and Elisha' the son of Shaphat of Abel-mecholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy stead.
17 E será, que o que escapar da espada, de Hazael, Jeú o matará; e o que escapar da espada de Jeú, Eliseu o matará.
And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Chazael shall Jehu slay; and him that escapeth the sword of Jehu shall Elisha' slay.
18 E eu farei que restem em Israel sete mil; todos os joelhos que não se encurvaram a Baal, e bocas todas que não o beijaram.
And I will leave in Israel seven thousand, all the knees which have not been bent unto Ba'al, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.
19 E partindo-se ele dali, achou a Eliseu filho de Safate, que arava com doze juntas diante de si; e ele era um dos doze trabalhadores. E passando Elias por diante dele, lançou sobre ele seu manto.
And he departed thence, and found Elisha' the son of Shaphat, who was ploughing; twelve yoke of oxen were before him, and he was with the twelfth: and Elijah passed up to him, and cast his mantle toward him.
20 Então deixando ele os bois, veio correndo após Elias, e disse: Rogo-te que me deixes beijar meu pai e minha mãe, e logo te seguirei. E ele lhe disse: Vai, volta: que te fiz eu?
And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss but my father and my mother, and I will [then] follow thee: and he said unto him, Go, return; for what have I done to thee?
21 E interrompeu de segui-lo, tomou um par de bois, e os matou, e com o arado dos bois cozeu a carne deles, e deu-a ao povo que comessem. Depois se levantou, e foi atrás de Elias, e o servia.
And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and with the instruments of the oxen he boiled the flesh for them, and he gave it unto the people, and they did eat; and then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.
