2 Ruodhi 2
1 E kinde mane Jehova Nyasaye dwaro tero Elija e polo kotingʼe gi kalausi, noyudo ka Elija gi Elisha osewuok Gilgal.
Just before the Lord took Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were walking together on their way from Gilgal.
2 Elija nowachone Elisha niya, dongʼ kae; nimar Jehova Nyasaye oseora Bethel. To Elisha nowachone niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima kod nyingi iwuon, ni ok anaweyi.” Omiyo giduto negidhi Bethel.
Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the Lord has sent me to Bethel.” But Elisha replied, “As the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went to Bethel.
3 Kanyakla mar jonabi mane odak Bethel nodhi ir Elisha mopenje niya, bende ingʼeyo ni Jehova Nyasaye dhi kawo ruodhi kawuono? Elisha nodwokogi niya, ee angʼeyo, to lingʼuru gi wachno.
The sons of the prophets who lived in Bethel came to Elisha and told him, “You do know that the Lord is going to take your master away from you today, don't you?” “Yes, I know,” he replied. “Don't talk about it.”
4 Eka Elija nowachone Elisha niya, dongʼ kae, nimar Jehova Nyasaye oora Jeriko. To ne odwoke niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima kod nyingi iwuon ni ok anaweyi.” Omiyo giduto negidhi Jeriko.
Then Elijah said to him, “Please stay here, Elisha, for the Lord has sent me to Jericho.” He replied, “As the Lord lives, and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went to Jericho.
5 Kanyakla mar jonabi mane odak Jeriko nodhi ir Elisha mopenje niya, bende ingʼeyo ni Jehova Nyasaye wangʼ nokaw ruodhi kawuono? Ee angʼeyo, to lingʼuru gi wachno.
The sons of the prophets who lived in Jericho came to Elisha and told him, “You do know that the Lord is going to take your master away from you today, don't you?” “Yes, I know,” he replied. “Don't talk about it.”
6 Eka Elija nowachone niya, “Dongʼ kae; nimar Jehova Nyasaye oora Jordan.” Eka nodwoke niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima kod nyingi iwuon ni ok anaweyi.” Omiyo giduto negidhi adhiya.
Then Elijah said to him, “Please stay here, Elisha, for the Lord has sent me to the Jordan.” He replied, “As the Lord lives, and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they travelled on together.
7 Kanyakla mar jonabi piero abich nodhi mochungʼ gichien ka gingʼiyo kama Elija kod Elisha nochungʼie e dho aora Jordan.
Then a group of fifty of the sons of the prophets went and stood facing Elijah and Elisha at a distance as the two of them stood by the Jordan.
8 Elija nobano lawe mar abola kendo ochwadogo pi, pi nobarore kochomo korachwich gi koracham mi ji ariyogo nongʼado kama otwo kadhi komachielo.
Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up, and hit the water. It divided to the one side and to the other and both of them crossed over on dry ground.
9 Kane gisengʼado aorano, Elija nopenjo Elisha niya, “Wachane gima idwaro mondo atimni kapok okawa?” Elisha nodwoke niya, “We mondo ayud teko ma in-go nyadiriyo.”
When they arrived on the other side, Elijah asked Elisha, “What can I do for you before I'm taken from you?” “Please let me have a double amount of your spirit,” Elisha replied.
10 Elija nodwoke niya, “Ikwayo gima tek to kineno ka ikawa adhi, to niyude; to ka ok ineno kikawa, to ok iniyudi.”
“What you have asked for is hard,” Elijah responded. “But if you see me when I am taken from you, you will have it, otherwise not.”
11 Kane oyudo giwuotho gidhi ka gin kaachiel, apoya nono gach lweny mar mach kod farese mag mach nothinyore ma opogo kindgi kendo Elija noter e polo gi kalausi.
As they were walking along, talking, a chariot of fire and horses of fire came between them, and Elijah was taken up in the whirlwind to heaven.
12 Elisha noneno mi noywak niya, “Yaye Wuora, aneno geche mag Israel kod joidh farese mag-gi.” Elisha ne ok ochako oneno Elija kendo nokawo lepe owuon moyiecho.
Elisha saw what happened and cried out, “My father! My father! Look! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!” Then Elisha couldn't see him anymore. He took his clothes and ripped them to pieces.
13 Nokwanyo law mar abola mane olwar koa kuom Elija mi odok kendo ochungʼ e bath aora Jordan.
Then Elisha picked up Elijah's cloak that had fallen from him, and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan.
14 Eka ne okawo law mar abola mane olwar koa kuom Elija mi ochwadogo pi kowacho niya, “Ere Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Elija?” Kane ochwado pi, pi nopogore diere tir koni gi koni, mi Elisha nongʼado odhi komachielo.
He took Elijah's cloak that had fallen from him, hit the water, and cried out, “Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” When he hit the water, it divided to the one side and to the other and Elisha crossed over.
15 Kanyakla mar jonabi moa Jeriko mane oneno gima notimoreno mowacho niya, “Roho mar Elija ni kuom Elisha.” Kendo negidhi ire mi gikulore piny e nyime.
The sons of the prophets who lived in Jericho saw him from the opposite side and shouted out, “Elijah's spirit now rests upon Elisha!” They went over to meet him, and bowed to the ground before him.
16 Negiwachone niya, “Wan jotichni, wan gi joma roteke piero abich. Yie mondo gidhi gimany ruodhi; sa moro dipo ka Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye osetere malo ewi gode kata e holo.” Elisha nokwerogi niya, “Kik uorgi.”
“Look,” they said to Elisha, “we your servants have fifty good men here. Please allow them to go and search for your master. Maybe the Spirit of the Lord has taken him and put him down on a mountain or in a valley somewhere.” “Don't bother sending them,” Elisha replied.
17 To negisiko gikwaye nyaka nojok, makoro ne ok onyal tamore, mine owachonegi niya, “Koro orgiuru.” Negioro ji piero abich mane omenyo kuom ndalo adek, to ne ok giyude.
But they went on trying to persuade him until he was too embarrassed to say no. “Go ahead and send them,” he told them. So they sent fifty men, who searched for Elijah for three days but couldn't find him.
18 Kane gidwogo ir Elisha mane oyudo odak Jeriko, nowachonegi niya, “Donge ne akwerou ni kik udhi?”
When they returned to Elisha, who was staying in Jericho, he said to them, “Didn't I tell you not to bother going?”
19 Ji mane odak Jeriko nowachone Elisha niya, “Jaduongʼ neye kaka dalawani oger kama ber, makmana pige ema rach kendo lope ok miyo.”
The townspeople said to Elisha, “Look, sir, while our town has a good location as you can see, the water is bad and the soil is poor.”
20 Ne owachonegi niya, “Kelnauru bakul manyien kendo uket chumbi e iye.” Omiyo negitimo kamano.
“Bring me a brand new bowl and put some salt in it,” he replied. So they brought it to him.
21 Bangʼ mano nowuok modhi e sokono mokiro chumbi e iye kowacho niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: ‘Aseloso pigni obedo maber. Ok nochak okel tho kata weyo piny ma ok omew.’”
Then Elisha went to the spring, threw the salt into it, and said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘I have purified this water. It won't cause death or miscarriages anymore.’”
22 Kendo pigno osesiko ka ber nyaka chil kawuono kaluwore gi wach mane Elisha owacho.
The water there is still pure to this very day, just as Elisha said it would be.
23 Elisha noa kanyo modhi Bethel to kane oyudo owuotho e yo, yawuowi moko noyudo wuotho koa Bethel kendo ne giyanye kagiwacho niya, “Rabondoni, dhiyo adhiya! Rabondoni, dhiyo adhiya!”
Elisha went on from there to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, a group of youths came from the town. They made fun of him, calling out, “Go on up, baldy! Go on up, baldy!”
24 Ne olokore mongʼiyogi mi noluongo kwongʼ e nying Jehova Nyasaye. Eka ondiegi ariyo mag dubu nopore oa e bungu mochamo rowere piero angʼwen gariyogo.
Turning around, he looked at them and called down a curse on them in the Lord's name. Suddenly two female bears came out of the forest and mauled forty-two of them.
25 Kendo nodhi e got Karmel kendo koa kanyo noduogo Samaria.
Elisha carried on to Mount Carmel, and from there he went back to Samaria.
