Despedida
As despedidas na Bíblia são momentos sagrados de bênção, oração e confiança em Deus. Mesmo na separação, os filhos de Deus se despedem com fé, carinho e esperança de reencontro.
Despedidas bíblicas
Paulo se despediu dos anciãos de Éfeso com oração e lágrimas. As despedidas entre irmãos são marcadas por afeto e fé.
Paul prayed with them and they sadly told him goodbye.
When Paul had finished speaking, he knelt down with all of the elders and prayed. They all cried a lot, and they hugged Paul and kissed him. They were especially sad because he had said that they would never see him [SYN] again. Then they all went with him to the ship.
After being in Macedonia and Greece, Paul went to Troas.
After the people at Ephesus had stopped rioting, Paul summoned the believers. He encouraged them to continue to trust in the Lord Jesus. Soon after that, he told them goodbye and left to go to Macedonia province.
Paul and Barnabas continued to teach and preach in Antioch.
After Judas and Silas had stayed in Antioch for some time and were ready to return to Jerusalem, the believers there wished them well, and the believers prayed that God would protect them as they traveled. So the two men started to go back to the leaders in Jerusalem who had asked them to go to Antioch.
It is because of you that we are pleased and joyful. So when people forced Silas, Timothy and me to be separated from you for a short time, we strongly desired to be with you.
My fellow believers, when for a short time [IDM] those people forced us to be separated from you, we felt like parents ◄who had lost all their children/whose children had died► [MET]. Although we were far away from you, we were still emotionally concerned about you, and we strongly desired to be present with you.
God can verify that Christ Jesus causes me to love and long for all of you very much, just like Christ loves you.
Amizades profundas
Davi e Jônatas se despediram com lágrimas e pacto de amizade. Rute se apegou a Noemi com lealdade inabalável.
When the boy left, David came out from the south side of the pile of stones behind which he had been hiding. He went to Jonathan and bowed in front of Jonathan three times, with his face touching the ground. Then David and Jonathan kissed each other on the cheek/neck, and they cried together. But David cried more than Jonathan.
Jonathan said to David, "May things go well for you as you go. Yahweh has heard what we solemnly promised to always do for each other, and what we said that our descendants must do for each other." Then David left, and Jonathan went back to the town.

Then as the three of them were walking, Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, "Each of you should turn around and go back to your mother’s home. You treated your husbands kindly before they died, and you have treated me kindly. Now I desire that Yahweh will enable each of you to have another husband in whose home you will feel secure." Then she kissed both of them, and they cried aloud. They each said, "No, we want to go with you as you return to your relatives."
But Naomi said, "No, my daughters, return home. ◄It will not do any good for you to come with me!/What good will it do for you to come with me?► [RHQ] Do you think I will get married again and have more sons who could become your husbands? Even if I thought I could have another husband, and even if I got married today and became pregnant [EUP] tonight and later gave birth to sons, would you remain single/unmarried until they grew up and became old enough for you to marry? No, my daughters, you would not do that. Your situations are bad because your husbands have died, but it is possible that you will each marry again. My situation is much worse, because Yahweh [SYN] has opposed me, and now I am too old to get married again."
Then Ruth and Orpah cried again because of what Naomi said. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye, and left, but Ruth clung to Naomi.

‘I desire that Yahweh will bless you
and protect you,
and that he will smile at you
and act kindly toward you,
and that he will be good to you [IDM]
and cause things to go well for you.’"
Yahweh will protect us from being harmed in any manner;

he will protect us now, and he will protect us forever.
May God act graciously to you all.
I pray that you will continue to experience God’s acting kindly toward you all.
I finish my letter with some advice. All of us here send you our greetings, and I pray that God will bless you.

Be united in what you think about the matters about which I have written to you. Live peacefully with each other. If you do those things, God, who enables you to love each other and be peaceful, will bless [MTY] you.

Then Joshua blessed them and said goodbye to them, and they prepared to leave and return to their homes on the east side of the Jordan River.
Someone else said, "Lord, I will come with you and be your disciple, but first let me go home to say goodbye to my relatives." Jesus said to him, "Anyone who is plowing his field should not look back to see what he has done. He must look forward to what is ahead. Similarly, anyone who continues to be concerned about his family and other things he has left behind is not fit to serve me and tell others about how God wants to rule [MTY] people’s lives."
Elisha left the oxen standing there and ran after Elijah, and said to him, "I will go with you, but first let me kiss my parents goodbye."
Elijah replied, "Okay, go home. But do not forget why I have given my cloak to you!" So Elisha went back to his oxen. He killed them and cut them in pieces and used the wood from the plow to build a fire to roast the meat. He distributed the meat to the other people in his town, and they all ate some. Then he went with Elijah and became his helper.
