2 Reis 2
1 E aconteceu que, quando o SENHOR quis erguer Elias num turbilhão ao céu, Elias vinha com Eliseu 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 Eliseu: Fica-te agora aqui, porque o SENHOR me enviou a Betel. E Eliseu disse: Vive o SENHOR, e vive tua alma, que não te deixarei. Desceram pois a Betel.
And Elijah said to Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel.
3 E saindo a Eliseu os filhos dos profetas que estavam em Betel, disseram-lhe: Sabes como o SENHOR tirará hoje o teu senhor de tua cabeça? E ele disse: Sim, eu o sei; calai.
And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel 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, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.
4 E Elias lhe voltou a dizer: Eliseu, fica-te aqui agora, porque o SENHOR me enviou a Jericó. E ele disse: Vive o SENHOR, e vive tua alma, que não te deixarei. Vieram, pois, 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 E achegaram-se a Eliseu os filhos dos profetas que estavam em Jericó, e disseram-lhe: Sabes como o SENHOR tirará hoje o teu senhor de tua cabeça? E ele respondeu: Sim, eu o sei; calai.
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, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.
6 E Elias lhe disse: Rogo-te que te fiques aqui, porque o SENHOR me enviou ao Jordão. E ele disse: Vive o SENHOR, e vive tua alma, que não te deixarei. Foram, pois, ambos.
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 vieram cinquenta homens dos filhos dos profetas, e pararam-se em frente a o longe: e eles dois se 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 Tomando então Elias seu manto, dobrou-o, e feriu as águas, as quais se apartaram a um e a outro lado, e passaram ambos em seco.
And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided to the one side and to the other, so that they two went over on dry ground.
9 E quando houveram passado, Elias disse a Eliseu: Pede o que queres que faça por ti, antes que seja tirado de contigo. E disse Eliseu: Rogo-te que a porção dobrada de teu espírito seja 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 ele lhe disse: Coisa difícil pediste. Se me vires quando for tirado de ti, te será assim feito; mas se não, não.
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 aconteceu que, indo eles falando, eis que um carro de fogo com cavalos de fogo separou os dois; e Elias subiu ao céu num turbilhão.
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 separated them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
12 E vendo-o Eliseu, clamava: Meu pai, meu pai! Carro de Israel e seus cavaleiros! E nunca mais lhe viu, e segurando de suas roupas, rompeu-os em duas partes.
And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and its horsemen. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and tore them in two pieces.
13 Levantou logo o manto de Elias que se lhe havia caído, e voltou, e parou-se à beira 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 tomando o manto de Elias que se lhe havia caído, feriu as águas, e disse: Onde está o SENHOR, o Deus de Elias? E assim que houve do mesmo modo ferido as águas, apartaram-se a um e a outro lado, e passou Eliseu.
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 to the one side and to the other: and Elisha went over.
15 E vendo-lhe os filhos dos profetas que estavam em Jericó da outra parte, disseram: O espírito de Elias repousou sobre Eliseu. E vieram-lhe a receber, e inclinaram-se a ele até a terra.
And when the sons of the prophets who were looking on 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 há com teus servos cinquenta homens fortes; vão agora e busquem o teu senhor; talvez o Espírito do SENHOR o levantou, e o lançou em algum monte ou em algum vale. E ele lhes disse: Não 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 lhe importunaram, até que envergonhando-se, disse: Enviai. Então eles enviaram cinquenta homens, os quais o buscaram três dias, mas 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 E quando voltaram a ele, que se havia restado em Jericó, ele lhes disse: Não vos disse eu que não fôsseis?
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 Eliseu: Eis que o assento desta cidade é bom, como meu senhor vai; mas as águas são más, e a terra enferma.
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 Então ele disse: Trazei-me uma botija nova, e ponde nela sal. E trouxeram-na.
And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt in it. And they brought it to him.
21 E saindo ele aos mananciais das águas, lançou dentro o sal, e disse: Assim disse o SENHOR: Eu sarei estas águas, e não haverá mais nelas morte nem enfermidade.
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 there any more death or barren land.
22 E foram saradas as águas até hoje, conforme a palavra que falou Eliseu.
So the waters were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke.
23 Depois subiu dali a Betel; e subindo pelo caminho, saíram os meninos da cidade, e se ridicularizavam dele, dizendo: Sobe, calvo! Sobe, calvo!
And he went up from there to Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth youths out of the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
24 E olhando ele atrás, viu-os, e amaldiçoou-os no nome do SENHOR. E duas ursas saíram da floresta, 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 youths of them.
25 De ali foi ao monte de Carmelo, e dali voltou a Samaria.
And he went from there to mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
