II Kings 2

And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
Quando o Senhor estava para tomar Elias ao céu num redemoinho, Elias partiu de Gilgal com Eliseu.
And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Beth–el. And Elisha said unto him, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Beth–el.
Disse Elias a Eliseu: Fica-te aqui, porque o Senhor me envia a Betel. Eliseu, porém disse: Vive o Senhor, e vive a tua alma, que não te deixarei. E assim desceram a Betel.
And the sons of the prophets that were at Beth–el 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.
Então os filhos dos profetas que estavam em Betel saíram ao encontro de Eliseu, e lhe disseram: Sabes que o Senhor hoje tomará o teu senhor por sobre a tua cabeça? E ele disse: Sim, eu o sei; calai-vos.
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.
E Elias lhe disse: Eliseu, fica-te aqui, porque o Senhor me envia a Jericó. Ele, porém, disse: Vive o Senhor, e vive a tua alma, que não te deixarei. E assim vieram a Jericó.
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.
Então os filhos dos profetas que estavam em Jericó se chegaram a Eliseu, e lhe disseram: Sabes que o Senhor hoje tomará o teu senhor por sobre a tua cabeça? E ele disse: Sim, eu o sei; calai-vos.
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.
E Elias lhe disse: Fica-te aqui, porque o senhor me envia ao Jordão. Mas ele disse: Vive o Senhor, e vive a tua alma, que não te deixarei. E assim ambos foram juntos.
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan.
E foram cinquenta homens dentre os filhos dos profetas, e pararam defronte deles, de longe; e eles dois pararam junto ao Jordão.
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.
Então Elias tomou a sua capa e, dobrando-a, feriu as águas, as quais se dividiram de uma à outra banda; e passaram ambos a pé enxuto.
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.
Havendo eles passado, Elias disse a Eliseu: Pede-me o que queres que eu te faça, antes que seja tomado de ti. E disse Eliseu: Peço-te que haja sobre mim dobrada porção de teu espírito.
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.
Respondeu Elias: Coisa difícil pediste. Todavia, se me vires quando for tomado de ti, assim se te fará; porém, se não, não se fará.
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.
E, indo eles caminhando e conversando, eis que um carro de fogo, com cavalos de fogo, os separou um do outro; e Elias subiu ao céu num redemoinho.
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.
O que vendo Eliseu, clamou: Meu pai, meu pai! O carro de Israel e seus cavaleiros! E não o viu mais. Pegou então nas suas vestes e as rasgou em duas partes;
He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;
tomou a capa de Elias, que dele caíra, voltou e parou à beira do Jordão.
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.
Então, pegando da capa de Elias, que dele caíra, feriu as águas e disse: Onde está o Senhor, o Deus de Elias? Quando feriu as águas, estas se dividiram de uma à outra banda, e Eliseu passou.
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.
Vendo-o, pois, os filhos dos profetas que estavam defronte dele em Jericó, disseram: O espírito de Elias repousa sobre Eliseu. E vindo ao seu encontro, inclinaram-se em terra diante dele.
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.
E disseram-lhe: Eis que entre os teus servos há cinquenta homens valentes. Deixa-os ir, pedimos-te, em busca do teu senhor; pode ser que o Espírito do Senhor o tenha arrebatado e lançado nalgum monte, ou nalgum vale. Ele, porém, disse: Não os envieis.
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.
Mas insistiram com ele, até que se envergonhou; e disse-lhes: Enviai. E enviaram cinquenta homens, que o buscaram três dias, porém não o acharam.
And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho,) he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not?
Então voltaram para Eliseu, que ficara em Jericó; e ele lhes disse: Não vos disse eu que não fôsseis?
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.
Os homens da cidade disseram a Eliseu: Eis que a situação desta cidade é agradável, como vê o meu senhor; porém as águas são péssimas, e a terra é estéril.
And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.
E ele disse: Trazei-me um jarro novo, e ponde nele sal. E lho trouxeram.
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.
Então saiu ele ao manancial das águas e, deitando sal nele, disse: Assim diz o Senhor: Sarei estas águas; não mais sairá delas morte nem esterilidade.
So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake.
E aquelas águas ficaram sãs, até o dia de hoje, conforme a palavra que Eliseu disse.
And he went up from thence unto Beth–el: 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.
Então subiu dali a Betel; e, subindo ele pelo caminho, uns meninos saíram da cidade, e zombavam dele, dizendo: Sobe, calvo; sobe, calvo!
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.
E, virando-se ele para trás, os viu, e os amaldiçoou em nome do Senhor. Então duas ursas saíram do bosque, e despedaçaram quarenta e dois daqueles meninos.
And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
E dali foi para o monte Carmelo, de onde voltou para Samaria.
