1 A nd it came to pass, when Jehovah would take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.

Quando o Senhor estava para tomar Elias ao céu num redemoinho, Elias partiu de Gilgal com Eliseu.

2 A nd Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for Jehovah hath sent me as far as Beth-el. And Elisha said, As Jehovah 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.

3 A nd the sons of the prophets that were at Beth-el came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that Jehovah 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.

4 A nd Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for Jehovah hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As Jehovah 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.

5 A nd the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came near to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that Jehovah 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.

6 A nd Elijah said unto him, Tarry here, I pray thee; for Jehovah hath sent me to the Jordan. And he said, As Jehovah 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.

7 A nd fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood over against them afar off: and they two stood by the Jordan.

E foram cinqüenta homens dentre os filhos dos profetas, e pararam defronte deles, de longe; e eles dois pararam junto ao Jordão.

8 A nd 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 ã outra banda; e passaram ambos a pé enxuto.

9 A nd it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I am taken 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.

10 A nd 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.

11 A nd it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, which 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.

12 A nd Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariots 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;

13 H e took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of the Jordan.

tomou a capa de Elias, que dele caíra, voltou e parou ã beira do Jordão.

14 A nd he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is Jehovah, the God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they were divided 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 ã outra banda, e Eliseu passou.

15 A nd when the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho over against him 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.

16 A nd they said unto him, Behold now, there are with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master, lest the Spirit of Jehovah 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 cinqüenta 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.

17 A nd 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 cinqüenta homens, que o buscaram três dias, porém não o acharam.

18 A nd they came back to him, while he tarried at Jericho; and 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?

19 A nd the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, we pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is bad, and the land miscarrieth.

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.

20 A nd 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.

21 A nd he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast salt therein, and said, Thus saith Jehovah, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or miscarrying.

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.

22 S o the waters were healed unto this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spake.

E aquelas águas ficaram sãs, até o dia de hoje, conforme a palavra que Eliseu disse.

23 A nd he went up from thence unto Beth-el; and as he was going up by the way, there came forth young lads out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou baldhead; go up, thou baldhead.

Então subiu dali a Betel; e, subindo ele pelo caminho, uns meninos saíram da cidade, e zombavam dele, dizendo: Sobe, calvo; sobe, calvo!

24 A nd he looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the name of Jehovah. And there came forth two she-bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two lads 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.

25 A nd 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 Samária.
