2 Reis 2
1 E aconteceu que, quando o SENHOR quis erguer Elias num turbilhão ao céu, Elias vinha com Eliseu de Gilgal.
When the LORD was about to take Elijah up by a whirlwind into heaven, 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.
Elijah said to Elisha, “Please wait here, for the LORD has sent me as far as Bethel.” Elisha said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” 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.
The sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, “Do you know that the LORD will take away your master from over you today?” He said, “Yes, I know it. Hold 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.
Elijah said to him, “Elisha, please wait here, for the LORD has sent me to Jericho.” He said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” 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.
The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came near to Elisha, and said to him, “Do you know that the LORD will take away your master from over you today?” He answered, “Yes, I know it. Hold 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.
Elijah said to him, “Please wait here, for the LORD has sent me to the Jordan.” He said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” Then they both 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.
Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both stood by the 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.
Elijah took his mantle, and rolled it up, and struck the waters; and they were divided here and there, so that they both 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.
When they had gone over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you.” Elisha said, “Please let a double portion of your spirit be on 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.
He said, “You have asked a hard thing. If you see me when I am taken from you, it will be so for you; but if not, it will 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.
As they continued on and talked, behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire 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.
Elisha saw it, and he cried, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” He saw him no more. Then 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 also took up Elijah’s mantle that fell from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the 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.
He took Elijah’s mantle that fell from him, and struck the waters, and said, “Where is the LORD, the God of Elijah?” When he also had struck the waters, they were divided apart, 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.
When the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho facing him saw him, they said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.” 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.
They said to him, “See now, there are with your servants fifty strong men. Please let them go and seek your master. Perhaps the LORD’s Spirit has taken him up, and put him on some mountain or into some valley.” He said, “Don’t send them.”
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.
When they urged him until he was ashamed, he said, “Send them.” Therefore they sent fifty men; and they searched for three days, but didn’t find him.
18 E quando voltaram a ele, que se havia restado em Jericó, ele lhes disse: Não vos disse eu que não fôsseis?
They came back to him while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you, ‘Don’t go’?”
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.
The men of the city said to Elisha, “Behold, please, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land is barren.”
20 Então ele disse: Trazei-me uma botija nova, e ponde nela sal. E trouxeram-na.
He said, “Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it.” Then 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.
He went out to the spring of the waters, and threw salt into it, and said, “The LORD says, ‘I have healed these waters. There shall not be from there any more death or barren wasteland.’”
22 E foram saradas as águas até hoje, conforme a palavra que falou Eliseu.
So the waters were healed to this day, according to Elisha’s word 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!
He went up from there to Bethel. As he was going up by the way, some youths came out of the city and mocked him, and said to him, “Go up, you baldy! Go up, you baldy!”
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.
He looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the LORD’s name. Then two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of those youths.
25 De ali foi ao monte de Carmelo, e dali voltou a Samaria.
He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
