And Elijah said to Elisha, Abide here, I pray thee; for Jehovah has sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee! So they went down to Bethel.

And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said to him, Dost thou know that Jehovah will take away thy master from over thy head to-day? And he said, I also know it: be silent!
4 Te phoeiah Elijah loh anih te, “Elisha, heah om laeh, BOEIPA loh kai Jerikho la n'tueih,” a ti nah. Te vaengah BOEIPA kah hingnah neh na hinglu kah hingnah bangla nang kan toeng mahpawh,” a ti nah dongah Jerikho la cet rhoi.
And Elijah said to him, Elisha, abide here, I pray thee; for Jehovah has sent me to Jericho. And he said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee! And they came to Jericho.

And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho drew near to Elisha and said to him, Dost thou know that Jehovah will take away thy master from over thy head to-day? And he said, I also know it: be silent!

And Elijah said to him, Abide here, I pray thee; for Jehovah has 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.
7 Te vaengah tonghma ca rhoek hlang sawmnga te cet uh tih rhaldan ah a hla la pai uh. Tedae amih rhoi te Jordan ah pai rhoi.
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite afar off; and they two stood by the Jordan.
8 Elijah loh a himbai te a loh tih a tlaep phoeiah tui te a boh hatah khatben khatbang la phih uh tih amih rhoi te lanhak dongah kat rhoi.
And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither; and they two went over on dry ground.
9 Te tlam te om tih a kat rhoi vaengah Elijah loh Elisha te, “Nang taeng lamloh n'loh tom ah nang ham balae kan saii eh thui lah?” a ti nah. Elisha loh, “Nang kah mueihla rhaep nit te kai hamla om pawn laeh saeh,” a ti nah.
And it came to pass when they had gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I am taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
10 Te dongah, “Na bih tih kai nan nan coeng, nang taeng lamloh kai n'loh te na hmuh atah he he nang ham om bitni. Tedae nan hmuh pawt atah om van mahpawh,” a ti nah.
And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so to thee; but if not, it shall not be [so].
11 Amih rhoi te a caeh doe a caeh doela a cal rhoi vaengah hmai leng neh hmai marhang loh amih rhoi laklo ah tarha a phih tih Elijah te vaan hlipuei khuila cet.
And it came to pass as they went on, and talked, that behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire; and they parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into the heavens.
12 Elisha loh a hmuh vaengah, “A pa, a pa, Israel kah leng neh a marhang caem,” tila pang. Anih te a hmuh voel pawt dongah amah himbai te a tuuk tih hnipen panit la a phen.
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. Then he took hold of his own garments and rent them in two pieces.
13 A so lamkah aka tla Elijah kah himbai te a rhuh phoeiah tah cet tih Jordan tuikaeng ah pai.
And he took up the mantle of Elijah which fell from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan;
14 A so lamkah aka tla Elijah kah himbai te a loh phoeiah tui te a boh tih, “Elijah kah Pathen BOEIPA te melae?” a ti. Tui te a boh van vaengah khatben khatbang la phih uh tih Elisha te kat.
and he took the mantle of Elijah which had fallen from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is Jehovah, the God of Elijah? He also smote the waters, and they parted hither and thither, and Elisha went over.
15 Te vaengah rhaldan Jerikho lamkah tonghma ca rhoek loh anih te a sawt uh tih, “Elijah kah mueihla tah Elisha soah om,” a ti uh. Te phoeiah anih doe hamla cet uh tih a hmaiah diklai la bakop uh.
And the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho on the opposite side saw him, and they said, The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him,
16 Te phoeiah a taengah, “Tatthai ca rhoek hlang sawmnga he na sal rhoek neh om pueng he. Cet uh laeh vetih na boei rhoek te ka tlap uh mako. BOEIPA Mueihla loh anih a pom tih tlang pakhat ah nim, kolrhawk khuikah kolrhawk pakhat ah nim a voeih ve,” a ti na uh. Tedae, “Tueih boeh,” a ti nah.
and said to him, Behold now, there are with thy servants fifty valiant men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master, lest perhaps the Spirit of Jehovah have taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some ravine. And he said, Ye shall not send.
17 Tedae anih te a yah hil a hloep uh dongah, “Tueih uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah hlang sawmnga a tueih uh tih hnin thum a tlap uh dae hmu uh pawh.
And they pressed him till he was ashamed, and he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men, and they sought three days, but did not find him.
18 Elisha taengla a mael uh vaengah tah anih te Jerikho ah om pueng tih amih te, “Nangmih te caeh pawt ham ka thui pawt nim?” a ti nah.
And they came again to him (now he was staying at Jericho); and he said to them, Did I not say to you, Go not?
19 Te vaengah khopuei kah hlang rhoek loh Elisha taengah, “Ka boeipa aw, na hmuh bangla khopuei tolrhum tah then coeng he, tedae tui thae tih diklai khaw hi,” a ti uh.
And the men of the city said to Elisha, Behold now, the situation of the city is good, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land is barren.
20 Te dongah lungkaehkhoe a thai pakhat te kai taengla hang khuen uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah lungkaeh pahoi a poep thil uh tih a taengla a khuen pauh.
And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt in it. And they brought it to him.
21 Tui sae la a khuen tih lungkaeh te a phul phoeiah, “BOEIPA loh he ni a thui, he tui he ka hoeih sak coeng, he lamlong tah dueknah neh thangyah khaw om voel mahpawh,” a ti nah.
And he went forth to the source of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith Jehovah: I have healed these waters: there shall not be from thence any more death or barrenness.
22 Elisha kah a thui ol bangla tahae khohnin hil tui te hoeih.
And the waters were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke.
23 Te phoeiah Bethel lamloh pahoi cet tih longpueng ah a caeh vaengah khopuei lamkah cadong ca rhoek te ha pawk uh. Anih te a soehsal uh tih, “Lukoelh cet laeh, lukoelh cet laeh,” a ti na uh.
And he went up from thence to Bethel, and as he went up by the way, there came forth little boys out of the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, bald head; go up, bald head!
24 A hnuk la mael tih amih te a hmuh vaengah amih te BOEIPA ming neh a kosi nah. Te dongah duup lamkah vom pumnit ha pawk tih camoe sawmli panit te a phuet.
And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of Jehovah. And there came forth two she-bears out of the wood, and tore forty-two children of them.
25 Te lamloh Karmel tlang la cet tih te lamloh Samaria la mael.
And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
