1 Kings 19
1 And Achab told Izebel all that Elijah had done, and withal that he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
E Achab fez saber a Jezabel tudo quanto Elias havia feito, e como totalmente matara todos os profetas à espada.
2 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.
Então Jezabel mandou um mensageiro a Elias, a dizer-lhe: Assim me façam os deuses, e outro tanto, se de certo amanhã a estas horas não puser a tua vida como a dum deles.
3 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.
O que vendo ele, se levantou, e, para escapar com vida, se foi, e veio a Berseba, que é de Judá, e deixou ali o seu moço.
4 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.
E ele se foi ao deserto, caminho de um dia, e veio, e se assentou debaixo de um zimbro; e pediu em seu ânimo a morte, e disse: Já basta, ó Senhor; toma agora a minha vida, pois não sou melhor do que meus pais.
5 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.
E deitou-se, e dormiu debaixo dum zimbro: e eis que então um anjo o tocou, e lhe disse: Levanta-te, come.
6 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.
E olhou, e eis que à sua cabeceira estava um pão cozido sobre as brazas, e uma botija de água: e comeu, e bebeu, e tornou a deitar-se.
7 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.
E o anjo do Senhor tornou segunda vez, e o tocou, e disse: Levanta-te e come, porque mui comprido te será o caminho.
8 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.
Levantou-se pois, e comeu e bebeu: e com a força daquela comida caminhou quarenta dias e quarenta noites até Horeb, o monte de Deus.
9 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?
E ali entrou numa caverna e passou ali a noite: e eis que a palavra do Senhor veio a ele, e lhe disse: Que fazes aqui, Elias?
10 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.
E ele disse: Tenho sido muito zeloso pelo Senhor Deus dos exércitos, porque os filhos de Israel deixaram o teu concerto, derribaram os teus altares, e mataram os teus profetas à espada, e eu só fiquei, e buscam a minha vida para ma tirarem.
11 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;
E ele lhe disse: sai para fora, e põe-te neste monte perante a face do Senhor. E eis que passava o Senhor, como também um grande e forte vento que fendia os montes e quebrava as penhas diante da face do Senhor; porém o Senhor não estava no vento: e depois do vento um terremoto: também o Senhor não estava no terremoto:
12 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.
E depois do terremoto um fogo; porém também o Senhor não estava no fogo: e depois do fogo uma voz mansa e delicada.
13 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?
E sucedeu que, ouvindo-a Elias, envolveu o seu rosto na sua capa, e saiu para fora, e pôs-se à entrada da caverna: e eis que veio a ele uma voz, que dizia: Que fazes aqui, Elias?
14 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.
E ele disse: Eu tenho sido em extremo zeloso pelo Senhor Deus dos exércitos, porque os filhos de Israel deixaram o teu concerto, derribaram os teus altares, e mataram os teus profetas à espada, e só eu fiquei; e buscam a minha vida para ma tirarem.
15 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;
E o Senhor lhe disse: vai, torna-te pelo teu caminho para o deserto de Damasco; e vem, e unge a Hazael rei sobre a Síria.
16 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.
Também a Jehu, filho de Nimsi, ungirás rei de Israel: e também a Eliseo, filho de Saphat de Abel-mehola, ungirás profeta em teu lugar.
17 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.
E há de ser que o que escapar da espada de Hazael mata-lo-á Jehu: e o que escapar da espada de Jehu mata-lo-á Eliseo.
18 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.
Também eu fiz ficar em Israel sete mil: todos os joelhos que se não dobraram a Baal, e toda a boca que o não beijou.
19 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.
Partiu pois Elias dali, e achou a Eliseo, filho de Saphat, que andava lavrando com doze juntas de bois adiante dele, e ele estava com a duodécima: e Elias passou por ele, e lançou a sua capa sobre ele.
20 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?
Então deixou ele os bois, e correu após Elias: e disse: Deixa-me beijar a meu pai e a minha mãe, e então te seguirei. E ele lhe disse: vai, e volta; porque que te tenho eu feito?
21 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.
Voltou pois de atráz dele, e tomou uma junta de bois, e os matou, e com os aparelhos dos bois cozeu as carnes, e as deu ao povo, e comeram: então se levantou e seguiu a Elias, e o servia.
