< 2 Kings 2 >

1 When the LORD was about to take Elijah up by a whirlwind into heaven, Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
E kinde mane Jehova Nyasaye dwaro tero Elija e polo kotingʼe gi kalausi, noyudo ka Elija gi Elisha osewuok Gilgal.
2 Elijah said to Elisha, “Please wait here, for the LORD has sent me as far as Bethel.” Elisha said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel.
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.
3 The sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, “Do you know that the LORD will take away your master from over you today?” He said, “Yes, I know it. Hold your peace.”
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.
4 Elijah said to him, “Elisha, please wait here, for the LORD has sent me to Jericho.” He said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” So they came to Jericho.
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.
5 The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came near to Elisha, and said to him, “Do you know that the LORD will take away your master from over you today?” He answered, “Yes, I know it. Hold your peace.”
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.
6 Elijah said to him, “Please wait here, for the LORD has sent me to the Jordan.” He said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” Then they both went on.
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.
7 Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both stood by the Jordan.
Kanyakla mar jonabi piero abich nodhi mochungʼ gichien ka gingʼiyo kama Elija kod Elisha nochungʼie e dho aora Jordan.
8 Elijah took his mantle, and rolled it up, and struck the waters; and they were divided here and there, so that they both went over on dry ground.
Elija nobano lawe mar abola kendo ochwadogo pi, pi nobarore kochomo korachwich gi koracham mi ji ariyogo nongʼado kama otwo kadhi komachielo.
9 When they had gone over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you.” Elisha said, “Please let a double portion of your spirit be on me.”
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.”
10 He said, “You have asked a hard thing. If you see me when I am taken from you, it will be so for you; but if not, it will not be so.”
Elija nodwoke niya, “Ikwayo gima tek to kineno ka ikawa adhi, to niyude; to ka ok ineno kikawa, to ok iniyudi.”
11 As they continued on and talked, behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
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.
12 Elisha saw it, and he cried, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” He saw him no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces.
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.
13 He also took up Elijah’s mantle that fell from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan.
Nokwanyo law mar abola mane olwar koa kuom Elija mi odok kendo ochungʼ e bath aora Jordan.
14 He took Elijah’s mantle that fell from him, and struck the waters, and said, “Where is the LORD, the God of Elijah?” When he also had struck the waters, they were divided apart, and Elisha went over.
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.
15 When the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho facing him saw him, they said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.” They came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
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.
16 They said to him, “See now, there are with your servants fifty strong men. Please let them go and seek your master. Perhaps the LORD’s Spirit has taken him up, and put him on some mountain or into some valley.” He said, “Do not send them.”
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.”
17 When they urged him until he was ashamed, he said, “Send them.” Therefore they sent fifty men; and they searched for three days, but did not find him.
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.
18 They came back to him while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, “Did not I tell you, ‘Do not go’?”
Kane gidwogo ir Elisha mane oyudo odak Jeriko, nowachonegi niya, “Donge ne akwerou ni kik udhi?”
19 The men of the city said to Elisha, “Behold, please, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land is barren.”
Ji mane odak Jeriko nowachone Elisha niya, “Jaduongʼ neye kaka dalawani oger kama ber, makmana pige ema rach kendo lope ok miyo.”
20 He said, “Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it.” Then they brought it to him.
Ne owachonegi niya, “Kelnauru bakul manyien kendo uket chumbi e iye.” Omiyo negitimo kamano.
21 He went out to the spring of the waters, and threw salt into it, and said, “The LORD says, ‘I have healed these waters. There shall not be from there any more death or barren wasteland.’”
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.’”
22 So the waters were healed to this day, according to Elisha’s word which he spoke.
Kendo pigno osesiko ka ber nyaka chil kawuono kaluwore gi wach mane Elisha owacho.
23 He went up from there to Bethel. As he was going up by the way, some youths came out of the city and mocked him, and said to him, “Go up, you baldy! Go up, you baldy!”
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!”
24 He looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the LORD’s name. Then two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of those youths.
Ne olokore mongʼiyogi mi noluongo kwongʼ e nying Jehova Nyasaye. Eka ondiegi ariyo mag dubu nopore oa e bungu mochamo rowere piero angʼwen gariyogo.
25 He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
Kendo nodhi e got Karmel kendo koa kanyo noduogo Samaria.
