2 Kings 2

KING JAMES BIBLE	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.	1 Eis o que se passou no dia em que o Senhor arrebatou Elias ao céu num turbilhão: Elias e Eliseu partiram de Gálgala,
2 And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said unto him, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel.	2 e Elias disse a Eliseu: Fica aqui, porque o Senhor me mandou a Betel. Por Deus e por tua vida, respondeu Eliseu, não te deixarei. E desceram a Betel.
3 And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto 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.	3 Os filhos dos profetas, que estavam em Betel, saíram ao encontro de Eliseu e disseram-lhe: Sabes que o Senhor vai tirar hoje o teu amo de sobre a tua cabeça? Sim, eu o sei: calai-vos!
4 And Elijah said unto 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.	4 Elias disse-lhe: Fica aqui, Eliseu, porque o Senhor manda-me a Jericó. Por Deus e por tua vida, respondeu ele, não te deixarei. E chegaram a Jericó.
5 And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto 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.	5 Os filhos dos profetas que estavam em Jericó foram ter com Eliseu e disseram-lhe: Sabes que o Senhor vai tirar hoje o teu amo de sobre a tua cabeça? Sim, eu o sei. Calai-vos.
6 And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; 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.	6 Elias disse-lhe: Fica aqui, porque o Senhor manda-me ao Jordão. Por Deus e pela tua vida, respondeu Eliseu, não te deixarei. E partiram juntos.
7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan.	7 Seguiram-nos cinqüenta filhos de profetas os quais pararam ao longe, diante deles, enquanto Elias e Eliseu se detinham à beira do Jordão.
8 And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground.	8 Elias tomou o seu manto, dobrou-o e feriu com ele as águas, que se separaram para as duas bandas, de modo que atravessaram ambos a pé enxuto.
9 And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.	9 Tendo passado, Elias disse a Eliseu: Pede-me algo antes que eu seja arrebatado de ti: que posso eu fazer por ti? Eliseu respondeu: Seja-me concedida uma porção dobrada do teu espírito.
10 And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.	10 Pedes uma coisa difícil, replicou Elias. Entretanto, se me vires quando eu for arrebatado de ti, isso te será dado: mas se não me vires, não te será dado.
11 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 parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.	11 Continuando o seu caminho, entretidos a conversar, eis que de repente um carro de fogo com cavalos de fogo os separou um do outro, e Elias subiu ao céu num turbilhão.
12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.	12 Vendo isso, Eliseu exclamou: Meu pai, meu pai! Carro e cavalaria de Israel! E não o viu mais. Tomando então as suas vestes, rasgou-as em duas partes.
13 He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;	13 Apanhou o manto que Elias deixara cair, e voltando até o Jordão, parou à beira do rio.
14 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 hither and thither: and Elisha went over.	14 Tomou o manto que Elias deixara cair, feriu com ele as águas, dizendo: Onde está o Senhor, o Deus de Elias? Onde está ele? Tendo ferido as águas, estas separaram-se para um e outro lado, e Eliseu passou.
15 And when the sons of the prophets which were to view 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.	15 Os filhos dos profetas que estavam em Jericó, vendo o que acontecera defronte deles, disseram: O Espírito de Elias repousa em Eliseu. Foram-lhe ao encontro, prostraram-se por terra diante dele,
16 And they said unto him, Behold now, there be with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master: lest peradventure 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.	16 e disseram: Sabe que entre os teus servos há cinqüenta homens valentes, que podem ir em busca do teu amo. Talvez o tenha arrebatado o Espírito do Senhor e atirado com ele para algum monte ou para algum vale. Não os mandeis, respondeu Eliseu.
17 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.	17 Eles, porém, tanto insistiram que Eliseu teve vergonha {de recusar}: Mandai-os, disse ele. Mandaram, pois, cinqüenta homens, os quais procuraram Elias durante três dias, mas sem resultado.
18 And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho,) he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not?	18 Quando voltaram para Eliseu, que estava em Jericó, este disse-lhes: Não vos disse eu que não fôsseis?
19 And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren.	19 Os habitantes da cidade disseram a Eliseu: A cidade está muito bem situada, como o pode ver o meu senhor, mas as águas são más e tornam a terra estéril.
20 And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.	20 Eliseu disse-lhes: Trazei-me um prato novo, e ponde nele sal. Eles lho trouxeram.
21 And he went forth unto 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 thence any more death or barren land.	21 Eliseu foi à fonte e deitou sal nela, dizendo: Eis o que diz o Senhor: Sanei estas águas, e elas não causarão mais nem morte, nem esterilidade.
22 So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake.	22 Ficaram as águas sadias e ainda o são, segundo a palavra que o Senhor tinha dito por Eliseu.
23 And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.	23 Dali subiu a Betel. Enquanto ia pelo caminho, saíram da cidade alguns rapazes, e puseram-se a zombar dele, dizendo: Sobe, careca; sobe, careca!
24 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 tare forty and two children of them.	24 Eliseu, voltando-se para eles, olhou-os e amaldiçoou-os em nome do Senhor. Imediatamente saíram da floresta dois ursos e despedaçaram quarenta e dois daqueles rapazes.
25 And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.	25 Dali se retirou para o monte Carmelo, de onde voltou para Samaria.
