1 Ora, Acabe fez saber a Jezabel tudo quanto Elias havia feito, e como matara � espada todos os profetas.
1
Now Ahab told Jezebel everything Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
2 Então Jezabel mandou um mensageiro a Elias, a dizer-lhe: Assim me façam os deuses, e outro tanto, se até amanhã a estas horas eu não fizer a tua vida como a de um deles.
2
So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah to say, “May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one of them.”
3 Quando ele viu isto, levantou-se e, para escapar com vida, se foi. E chegando a Berseba, que pertence a Judá, deixou ali o seu moço.
3
Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there,
4 Ele, porém, entrou pelo deserto caminho de um dia, e foi sentar-se debaixo de um zimbro; e pediu para si a morte, dizendo: Já basta, ó Senhor; toma agora a minha vida, pois não sou melhor do que meus pais.
4
while he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness. He came to a broom bush, sat down under it and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, LORD,” he said. “Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.”
5 E deitando-se debaixo do zimbro, dormiu; e eis que um anjo o tocou, e lhe disse: Levanta-te e come.
5
Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep. All at once an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.”
6 Ele olhou, e eis que � sua cabeceira estava um pão cozido sobre as brasas, e uma botija de água. Tendo comido e bebido, tornou a deitar-se.
6
He looked around, and there by his head was some bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again.
7 O anjo do Senhor veio segunda vez, tocou-o, e lhe disse: Levanta-te e come, porque demasiado longa te será a viagem.
7
The angel of the LORD came back a second time and touched him and said, “Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you.”
8 Levantou-se, pois, e comeu e bebeu; e com a força desse alimento caminhou quarenta dias e quarenta noites até Horebe, o monte de Deus.
8
So he got up and ate and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God.
9 Ali entrou numa caverna, onde passou a noite. E eis que lhe veio a palavra do Senhor, dizendo: Que fazes aqui, Elias?
9
There he went into a cave and spent the night. And the word of the LORD came to him: “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
10 Respondeu ele: Tenho sido muito zeloso pelo Senhor Deus dos exércitos; porque os filhos de Israel deixaram o teu pacto, derrubaram os teus altares, e mataram os teus profetas � espada; e eu, somente eu, fiquei, e buscam a minha vida para ma tirarem.
10
He replied, “I have been very zealous for the LORD God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too.”
11 Ao que Deus lhe disse: Vem cá fora, e põe-te no monte perante o Senhor: E eis que o Senhor passou; e um grande e forte vento fendia os montes e despedaçava as penhas diante do Senhor, porém o Senhor não estava no vento; e depois do vento um terremoto, porém o Senhor não estava no terremoto;
11
The LORD said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake.
12 e depois do terremoto um fogo, porém o Senhor não estava no fogo; e ainda depois do fogo uma voz mansa e delicada.
12
After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.
13 E ao ouvi-la, Elias cobriu o rosto com a capa e, saindo, pôs-se � entrada da caverna. E eis que lhe veio uma voz, que dizia: Que fazes aqui, Elias?
13
When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
14 Respondeu ele: Tenho sido muito zeloso pelo Senhor Deus dos exércitos; porque os filhos de Israel deixaram o teu pacto, derrubaram os teus altares, e mataram os teus profetas � espada; e eu, somente eu, fiquei, e buscam a minha vida para ma tirarem.
14
He replied, “I have been very zealous for the LORD God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too.”
15 Então o Senhor lhe disse: Vai, volta pelo teu caminho para o deserto de Damasco; quando lá chegares, ungirás a Hazael para ser rei sobre a Síria.
15
The LORD said to him, “Go back the way you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you get there, anoint Hazael king over Aram.
16 E a Jeú, filho de Ninsi, ungirás para ser rei sobre Israel; bem como a Eliseu, filho de Safate de Abel-Meolá, ungirás para ser profeta em teu lugar.
16
Also, anoint Jehu son of Nimshi king over Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah to succeed you as prophet.
17 E há de ser que o que escapar da espada de Hazael, matá-lo-á Jeú; e o que escapar da espada de Jeú, matá-lo-á Eliseu.
17
Jehu will put to death any who escape the sword of Hazael, and Elisha will put to death any who escape the sword of Jehu.
18 Todavia deixarei em Israel sete mil: todos os joelhos que não se dobraram a Baal, e toda boca que não o beijou.
18
Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel—all whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him.”
19 Partiu, pois, Elias dali e achou Eliseu, filho de Safate, que andava lavrando com doze juntas de bois adiante dele, estando ele com a duodécima; chegando-se Elias a Eliseu, lançou a sua capa sobre ele.
19
So Elijah went from there and found Elisha son of Shaphat. He was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen, and he himself was driving the twelfth pair. Elijah went up to him and threw his cloak around him.
20 Então, deixando este os bois, correu após Elias, e disse: Deixa-me beijar a meu pai e a minha mãe, e então te seguirei. Respondeu-lhe Elias: Vai, volta; pois, que te fiz eu?
20
Elisha then left his oxen and ran after Elijah. “Let me kiss my father and mother goodbye,” he said, “and then I will come with you.” “Go back,” Elijah replied. “What have I done to you?”
21 Voltou, pois, de o seguir, tomou a junta de bois, e os matou, e com os aparelhos dos bois cozeu a carne, e a deu ao povo, e comeram. Então se levantou e seguiu a Elias, e o servia.
21
So Elisha left him and went back. He took his yoke of oxen and slaughtered them. He burned the plowing equipment to cook the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out to follow Elijah and became his servant.
