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 was going to take Eliu with a whirlwind as it were into heaven, that Eliu and Elisaie went out of Galgala.
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 Eliu said to Elisaie, Stay here, I pray you; for God has sent me to Baethel. And Elisaie said, [As] the Lord lives and your soul lives, I will not leave you; so they came to Baethel.
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 who were in Baethel came to Elisaie, and said to him, Do you know, that the Lord this day is going to take your lord away from your head? And he said, Yes, I know [it]; be silent.
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 Eliu said to Elisaie, Stay here, I pray you; for the Lord has sent me to Jericho. And he said, [As] the Lord lives and your soul lives, I will not leave you. And 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 who were in Jericho drew near to Elisaie, and said to him, Do you know that the Lord is about to take away your master today from your head? And he said, Yes, I know [it]; hold 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 Eliu said to him, Stay here, I pray you, for the Lord has sent me to Jordan. And Elisaie said, [As] the Lord lives and your soul lives, I will not leave you: and they both 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 also], and they stood opposite afar off: and both stood on [the bank] of 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 Eliu took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and struck the water: and the water was divided on this side and on that side, and they both 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 while they were crossing over, that Eliu said to Elisaie, Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken up from you. And Elisaie said, Let there be, I pray you, a double [portion] of your spirit 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 Eliu said, You have asked a hard thing: if you shall see me when I am taken up from you, then shall it be so to you; and 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 were going, they went on talking; and, behold, a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and it separated between them both; and Eliu was taken up in a whirlwind as it were 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 Elisaie saw, and cried, Father, father, the chariot of Israel, and the horseman thereof! And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his garments, and tore them into two pieces.
13 Também levantou a capa de Elias, que lhe caira: e tornou-se, e parou à borda do Jordão.
And Elisaie took up the mantle of Eliu, which fell from off him upon Elisaie; and Elisaie returned, and stood upon the brink 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 Eliu, which fell from off him, and struck the water, and said, Where is the Lord God of Eliu? and he struck the waters, and they were divided hither and there; and Elisaie 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 the sons of the prophets who were in Jericho on the opposite side saw him, and said, The spirit of Eliu has rested upon Elisaie. And they came to meet him, and did obeisance to him to the ground.
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 your servants fifty men of strength: let them go now, and seek your lord: perhaps the Spirit of the Lord has taken him up, and cast him into Jordan, or on one of the mountains, or on one of the hills. And Elisaie said, You 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 they pressed him until he was ashamed; and he said, Send. And they sent fifty men, and sought three days, and found him not.
18 Então voltaram para ele, tendo ele ficado em Jericó: e disse-lhes: Eu não vos disse que não fosseis?
And they returned to him, for he lived in Jericho: and Elisaie said, 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 Elisaie, Behold, the situation of the city [is] good, as [our] lord sees; but the waters [are] bad, and the ground barren.
20 E ele disse: Trazei-me uma salva nova, e ponde nela sal. E lha trouxeram.
And Elisaie said, Bring me a new pitcher, and put salt in it. And they took [one], and 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 Elisaie went out to the spring of the waters, and cast salt therein, and says, Thus says the Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not be any longer death thence or barren [land].
22 Ficaram pois sãs aquelas águas até ao dia de hoje, conforme à palavra que Eliseo tinha dito.
And the waters were healed until this day, according to the word of Elisaie 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 thence to Baethel: and as he was going up by the way there came up also little children from the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, bald-head, go up.
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 after them, and saw them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And, behold, there came out two bears out of the wood, and they tore forty and two children of them.
25 E foi-se dali para o monte Carmelo: e dali voltou para Samaria.
And he went thence to mount Carmel, and returned thence to Samaria.
