1 BOEIPA loh Elijah te vaan hlipuei neh a khuen ham a om coeng dongah Elijah neh Elisha te Gilgal lamloh cet rhoi.
And it came to pass, when the Lord would take up Elias into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elias and Eliseus were going from Galgal.
2 Te vaengah Elijah loh Elisha te, “He ah ana om dae, BOEIPA loh kai Bethel la n'tueih,” a ti nah. Tedae Elisha loh, “BOEIPA kah hingnah neh na hinglu kah hingnah vanbangla nang kan toeng mahpawh,” a ti nah dongah Bethel la suntla rhoi.
And Elias said to Eliseus: Stay thou here, because the Lord hath sent me as far as Bethel. And Eliseus said to him: As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And when they were come down to Bethel,
3 Te vaengah Bethel kah tonghma ca rhoek te Elisha taengla pawk uh tih amah te, “BOEIPA loh na boei te na lu so lamloh a loh ham khohnin te na ming a?” a ti nauh. Tedae, “Ka ming ngawn, duem om uh,” a ti nah.
The sons of the prophets, that were at Bethel, came forth to Eliseus, and said to him: Dost thou know that this day the Lord will take away thy master from thee? And he answered: I also know it: hold your peace.
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 Elias said to Eliseus: Stay here because the Lord hath sent me to Jericho. And he said: As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And when they were come to Jericho,
5 Te vaengah Jerikho kah tonghma ca rhoek te Elisha taengla thoeih uh tih amah te, “BOEIPA loh na boei te na lu so lamloh a loh ham khohnin te na ming a?” a ti nauh. Tedae, “Ka ming ngawn, duem om uh,” a ti nah.
The sons of the prophets that were at Jericho, came to Eliseus, and said to him: Dost thou know that this day the Lord will take away thy master from thee? And he said: I also know it: hold your peace.
6 Te vaengah Elijah loh anih te, “Heah ana om dae, BOEIPA loh kai Jordan la n'tueih,” a ti nah. Tedae, “BOEIPA kah hingnah neh na hinglu kah hingnah vanbangla nang kan toeng mahpawh,” a ti nah dongah rhen cet rhoi.
And Elias said to him: Stay here, because the Lord hath sent me as far as the Jordan. And he said: As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee; and they two went on together,
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 followed them, and stood in sight at a distance: but 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 Elias took his mantle and folded it together, and struck the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, and they both passed 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 when they were gone over, Elias said to Eliseus: Ask what thou wilt have me to do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Eliseus said: I beseech thee that in me may be thy double spirit.
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 answered: Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless if thou see me when I am taken from thee, thou shalt have what thou hast asked: but if thou see me not, thou shalt not have it.
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 as they went on, walking and talking together, behold a fiery chariot, and fiery horses parted them both asunder: and Elias went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
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 Eliseus saw him, and cried: My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the driver thereof. And he saw him no more: and 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 Elias, that fell from him: and going back, he stood upon 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 struck the waters with the mantle of Elias, that had fallen from him, and they were not divided. And he said: Where is now the God of Elias? And he struck the waters, and they were divided, hither and thither, and Eliseus passed 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 at Jericho, who were over against him, seeing it said: The spirit of Elias hath rested upon Eliseus. And coming to meet him, they worshipped him, falling to the ground,
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 nauh. Tedae, “Tueih boeh,” a ti nah.
And they said to him: Behold, there are with thy servants fifty strong men, that can go, and seek thy master, lest perhaps the spirit of the Lord hath taken him up and cast him upon some mountain or into some valley. And he said: Do 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.
But they pressed him, till he consented, and said: Send. And they sent fifty men: and they sought three days but found him not.
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 back to him: for he abode at Jericho, and he said to them: Did I not say to you: Do not send?
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 Eliseus: Behold the situation of this city is very good, as thou, my lord, seest: but the waters are very bad, and the ground 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 vessel, and put salt into it. And when they had brought it,
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.
He went out to the spring of the waters, and cast the salt into it, and said: Thus saith the Lord: I have healed these waters, and there shall be no more in them death or barrenness.
22 Elisha kah a thui ol bangla tahae khohnin hil tui te hoeih.
And the waters were healed unto this day, according to the word of Eliseus, 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 nauh.
And he went up from thence to Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, little boys came out of the city and mocked him, saying: Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou 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 looking back, he saw them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord: and there came forth two bears out of the forest, and tore of them two and forty boys.
25 Te lamloh Karmel tlang la cet tih te lamloh Samaria la mael.
And from thence he went to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
