< 2 Kraljevima 2 >
1 Evo što se dogodilo kad je Jahve uznio Iliju na nebo u vihoru: Ilija i Elizej pošli iz Gilgala.
And when the Lord would take vp Eliiah into heauen by a whirle winde, Eliiah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
2 I reče Ilija Elizeju: “Ostani ovdje jer me Jahve šalje do Betela.” Elizej odgovori: “Života mi Jahvina i tvoga: ja te neću ostaviti!” I siđoše do Betela.
Then Eliiah saide to Elisha, Tarie here, I pray thee: for the Lord hath sent me to Bethel. But Elisha said, As the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth, I will not leaue thee. So they came downe to Beth-el.
3 A proročki sinovi koji su boravili u Betelu iziđoše Elizeju u susret i rekoše mu: “Znaš li da će danas Jahve uzeti tvoga gospodara iznad tvoje glave?” On reče: “I ja to znam; tiho!”
And the children of the Prophets that were at Beth-el, came out to Elisha, and said vnto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take thy master from thine head this day? And he said, Yea, I knowe it: holde ye your peace.
4 Ilija mu reče: “Elizeju! Ostani ipak ovdje jer me Jahve šalje do Jerihona.” Ali on odgovori: “Života mi Jahvina i tvoga: ja te neću ostaviti!” I uđoše u Jerihon.
Againe Eliiah saide vnto him, Elisha, tarie here, I pray thee: for the Lord hath sent me to Iericho: But he said, As the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth, I will not leaue thee. So they came to Iericho.
5 Proročki sinovi koji su živjeli u Jerihonu priđoše Elizeju i rekoše mu: “Znaš li da će danas Jahve uzeti tvoga gospodara iznad tvoje glave?” On reče: “I ja to znam; tiho!”
And the children of the Prophets that were at Iericho, came to Elisha, and saide vnto him, Knowest thou, that the Lord will take thy master from thine head this day? And he sayde, Yea, I knowe it: holde ye your peace.
6 Ilija mu reče: “Ostani ipak ovdje jer me Jahve šalje do Jordana.” Ali on odgovori: “Života mi Jahvina i tvoga: ja te neću ostaviti!” I tako pođoše obojica.
Moreouer Eliiah saide vnto him, Tarie, I pray thee, here: for the Lord hath sent me to Iorden. But he saide, As the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth, I will not leaue thee. So they went both together.
7 I pedeset proročkih sinova pođe i zaustavi se podalje, dok su se njih dvojica zadržala na obali Jordana.
And fiftie men of the sonnes of the Prophets went and stoode on the other side a farre off, and they two stoode by Iorden.
8 Tada Ilija uze svoj ogrtač, smota ga i udari njime po vodi, a voda se razdijeli na dvije strane. I obojica prijeđoše po suhu.
Then Eliiah tooke his cloke, and wrapt it together, and smote the waters, and they were deuided hither and thither, and they twaine went ouer on the dry lande.
9 A kad prijeđoše, Ilija će Elizeju: “Traži što da ti još učinim prije nego što budem uznesen ispred tebe!” A Elizej odgovori: “Neka mi u dio padne obilje tvoga duha!”
Nowe when they were passed ouer, Eliiah saide vnto Elisha, Aske what I shall doe for thee before I be taken from thee. And Elisha saide, I pray thee, let thy Spirit be double vpon me.
10 Ilija odgovori: “Mnogo tražiš: ako me budeš vidio kad budem uznesen ispred tebe, bit će ti tako; ako pak ne budeš vidio, neće ti biti.”
And he saide, Thou hast asked an hard thing: yet if thou see me when I am taken from thee, thou shalt haue it so: and if not, it shall not be.
11 I dok su tako išli i razgovarali, gle: ognjena kola i ognjeni konji stadoše među njih i Ilija u vihoru uziđe na nebo.
And as they went walking and talking, beholde, there appeared a charet of fire, and horses of fire, and did separate them twaine. So Eliiah went vp by a whirle winde into heauen.
12 Elizej je gledao i vikao: “Oče moj, oče moj! Kola Izraelova i konjanici njegovi!” I više ga nije vidio. Uze tada svoje haljine i razdera ih nadvoje.
And Elisha saw it, and he cryed, My father, my father, the charet of Israel, and the horsemen thereof: and he sawe him no more: and he tooke his owne clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
13 I podiže Ilijin plašt, koji bijaše pao s njega, te se vrati i zaustavi se na obali Jordana.
He tooke vp also the cloke of Eliiah that fell from him, and returned, and stoode by the banke of Iorden.
14 Uze onda Ilijin plašt i udari po vodi govoreći: “Gdje je Jahve, Bog Ilijin?” I kad udari po vodi, ona se razdijeli na dvije strane i Elizej prijeđe.
After, he tooke the cloke of Eliiah, that fell from him, and smote the waters, and sayde, Where is the Lord God of Eliiah? And so he also, after he had striken the waters, so that they were deuided this way and that way, went ouer, euen Elisha.
15 Proročki su sinovi to sa strane vidjeli pa rekoše: “Duh je Ilijin počinuo na Elizeju!” I krenuše mu u susret, baciše se pred njim na zemlju
And when the children of the Prophets, which were at Iericho, saw him on the other side, they sayde, The Spirite of Eliiah doeth rest on Elisha: and they came to meete him, and fell to the grounde before him,
16 i rekoše mu: “Evo ovdje s tvojim slugama pedeset junaka. Dopusti im da idu tražiti tvoga gospodara; možda ga je Duh Jahvin uzdigao i bacio na koju goru ili u kakvu dolinu.” On im odgovori: “Ne šaljite nikoga.”
And said vnto him, Beholde nowe, there be with thy seruants fiftie strong men: let them go, we pray thee, and seeke thy master, if so be the Spirite of the Lord hath taken him vp, and cast him vpon some mountaine, or into some valley. But he said, Ye shall not sende.
17 Ali kako su oni svejednako navaljivali, reče im: “Pošaljite!” I poslaše pedesetoricu; tražili su ga tri dana, ali ga nisu našli.
Yet they were instant vpon him, til he was ashamed: wherefore he saide, Sende. So they sent fiftie men, which sought three dayes, but founde him not.
18 Vratiše se Elizeju, koji je ostao u Jerihonu, i on im reče: “Nisam li vam rekao: 'Nemojte ići!'”
Therefore they returned to him, (for he taryed at Iericho) and he said vnto them, Did not I say vnto you, Goe not?
19 Ljudi iz grada rekoše Elizeju: “Lijepo je u gradu, kako to može vidjeti i naš gospodar, ali je voda loša i zemlja neplodna.”
And the men of the citie saide vnto Elisha, Beholde, we pray thee: the situation of this citie is pleasant, as thou, my lorde, seest, but the water is naught, and the ground baren.
20 On reče: “Donesite mi novu zdjelu i metnite soli u nju!” I oni mu je donesoše.
Then he saide, Bring me a newe cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.
21 On tada ode na izvor, baci u nj soli i reče: “Ovako govori Jahve: 'Ozdravljam ovu vodu. Neće od nje više biti ni smrti ni neplodnosti.'”
And he went vnto the spring of the waters, and cast there the salt, and said, Thus saith the Lord, I haue healed this water: death shall no more come thereof, neither barennesse to the ground.
22 I voda postade zdrava i takva je do današnjeg dana, po riječi koju je izrekao Elizej.
So the waters were healed vntill this day, according to the worde of Elisha which hee had spoken.
23 Odatle je uzašao u Betel. Dok je išao putem, dječaci bijahu izišli iz grada i rugahu mu se govoreći: “Hodi, ćelo! Hodi, ćelo!”
And he went vp from thence vnto Beth-el. And as he was going vp the way, litle children came out of the citie, and mocked him, and saide vnto him, Come vp, thou balde head, come vp, thou balde head.
24 On se obazre, pogleda ih i prokle ih u ime Jahvino. I odmah iziđoše dva medvjeda iz šume i rastrgaše četrdeset i dvoje djece.
And he turned backe, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And two beares came out of the forest, and tare in pieces two and fourtie children of them.
25 Odatle ode on na goru Karmel, a odande se vrati u Samariju.
So he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
