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.
The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “The place where we live with you is too small for us all.
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.
Please let us go to the Jordan, and let every man cut down a tree there, and let us build us a place there where we may live.” Elisha answered, “You may go ahead.”
3 E disse um: Serve-te d'ires com os teus servos. E disse: Eu irei.
One of them said, “Please go with your servants.” Elisha answered, “I will go.”
4 E foi com elles: e, chegando elles ao Jordão, cortaram madeira.
So he went with them, and when they came to the Jordan, they began to 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 chopping, the ax head fell into the water; he cried out and said, “Oh no, my master, it was 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.
So the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” The man showed Elisha the place. He then cut off a stick, threw it in the water, and made the iron float.
7 E disse: Levanta-o. Então elle estendeu a sua mão e o tomou.
Elisha said, “Pick it up.” So the man reached out his hand and grabbed 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.
Now the king of Aram was waging war against Israel. He consulted with his servants, saying, “My camp will be in such and such a place.”
9 Mas o homem de Deus enviou ao rei de Israel, dizendo: Guarda-te de passares por tal logar; porque os syros desceram ali.
So the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, “Be careful not to pass that place, for the Arameans are going down there.”
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.
The king of Israel sent a message to the place about which the man of God had spoken and warned him. More than once or twice, when the king went there, he was on his guard.
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?
The king of Aram was enraged about these warnings, and he called his servants and said to them, “Will you not tell me who among 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.
So one of his servants said, “No, my master, king, for Elisha the prophet in Israel tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your own bedroom!”
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.
The king replied, “Go and see where Elisha is so I may send men and capture him.” It was told him, “See, 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.
So the king sent to Dothan horses, chariots, and a large army. 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?
When the servant of the man of God had risen early and gone outside, behold, a large army with horses and chariots surrounded the city. His servant said to him, “Oh, my master! What will we do?”
16 E elle disse: Não temas; porque mais são os que estão comnosco do que os que estão com elles.
Elisha answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who 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.
Elisha prayed and said, “Yahweh, I beg that you will open his eyes that he may see.” Then Yahweh opened the servant's eyes, and he saw. Behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around 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.
When the Arameans came down to him, Elisha prayed to Yahweh and said, “Strike these people blind, I ask you.” So Yahweh made them blind, just as Elisha had asked.
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.
Then Elisha told the Arameans, “This is not the way, neither is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you are looking for.” Then he led them 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.
It came about that when they had come into Samaria, Elisha said, “Yahweh, open the eyes of these men that they may see.” Yahweh opened their eyes and they saw, and behold, they were in the middle of the city of Samaria.
21 E, quando o rei de Israel os viu, disse a Eliseo: Feril-os-hei, feril-os-hei, meu pae?
The king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, “My father, should I kill them? Should I kill them?”
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.
Elisha answered, “You must not kill them. Would you kill those whom you had taken captive with your sword and bow? Put bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go 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.
So the king prepared much food for them, and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went back to their master. Those bands of Aramean soldiers did not return for a long time 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.
Later after this Ben Hadad king of Aram gathered all his army and attacked Samaria and besieged it.
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.
So there was a great famine in Samaria. Behold, they besieged it until a donkey'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.
As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, saying, “Help, my master, king.”
27 E elle lhe disse: Se o Senhor te não acode, d'onde te acudirei eu? da eira ou do lagar?
He said, “If Yahweh does not help you, how can I help you? Is there anything coming from the threshing floor or winepress?”
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.
The king continued, “What is troubling you?” She answered, “This woman said to me, 'Give your son so that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son 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, and I said to her on the next day, “Give your son that we may eat him, but she has hidden 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.
So when the king heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes (now he was passing by on the wall), and the people looked and saw that he had sackcloth underneath, against his skin.
31 E disse: Assim me faça Deus, e outro tanto, se a cabeça de Eliseo, filho de Saphat, hoje ficar sobre elle.
Then he said, “May God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha son of Shaphat remains on him today.”
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. The king sent a man from before him, but when the messenger came to Elisha, he said to the elders, “See how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold the door shut against him. 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?
While he was still talking with them, behold, the messenger came down to him. The king had said, “Behold, this trouble comes from Yahweh. Why should I wait for Yahweh any longer?”
