< 2 Kings 2 >
1 Shortly before the LORD took Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal,
BAWIPA ni Elijah heh bongparui hoi kalvan lah tawm hanlah ao toung dawkvah, Elijah teh Elisha hoi Gilgal hoi a cei roi.
2 and Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me on to Bethel.” But Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel.
Elijah ni, Elisha koevah pahren lahoi hi la awm loe. Bangdawk tet pawiteh, BAWIPA ni Bethel vah pou cei hanelah na patoun atipouh. Hatei Elisha ni BAWIPA hoi na hringnae a hring e patetlah kaawm mahoeh ati teh Bethel lah a ceicathuk roi.
3 Then the sons of the prophets at Bethel came out to Elisha and said, “Do you know that the LORD will take your master away from you today?” “Yes, I know,” he replied. “Do not speak of it.”
Bethel kaawm e profet capanaw Elisha koe a tho awh teh, sahnin vah BAWIPA ni na bawipa hah na la pouh han tie na panue maw telah a pacei awh. Oe ka panue doeh, duem awm awh atipouh.
4 And Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me on to Jericho.” But Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went to Jericho.
Elijah ni, Elisha koe pahren lahoi hi la awmh. BAWIPA ni Jeriko kho pou ceitakhai hanelah na patoun atipouh. Hatei BAWIPA a hring e hoi nang na hring e patetlah kaawm mahoeh ati teh Jeriko vah pou a cei roi.
5 Then the sons of the prophets at Jericho came up to Elisha and said, “Do you know that the LORD will take your master away from you today?” “Yes, I know,” he replied. “Do not speak of it.”
Jeriko kaawm e profet capanaw teh Elisha koe a cei teh, sahnin vah BAWIPA ni na bawipa he na la pouh han toe tie na panue maw atipouh awh. Oe ka panue bokheiyah duem awm awh telah a pathung.
6 And Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me on to the Jordan.” But Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them went on.
Elijah ni pahren lahoi hi ma la awm lawih. BAWIPA ni Jordan pou cei hanelah, na patoun telah atipouh. BAWIPA hoi nang na hring e patetlah kaawm mahoeh atipouh teh kahni touh hoi rei a cei roi.
7 Then a company of fifty of the sons of the prophets went and stood at a distance, facing Elijah and Elisha as the two of them stood by the Jordan.
Hahoi profet capanaw thung dawk hoi tami 50 touh a cei teh kahni touh hoi Jordan palang a kangdue navah, ahnimouh koe lahoi kahlathnawn a kamlang roi teh kahlathnawn lah a kangdue roi.
8 And Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up, and struck the waters, which parted to the right and to the left, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground.
Elijah ni a hni hah a la teh, a taoung hnukkhu, tui hah a hem teh a vangvang lah a kâkapek. Hahoi ahnimouh roi teh talai kaphui dawk a cei roi.
9 After they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken away from you?” “Please, let me inherit a double portion of your spirit,” Elisha replied.
Palang namran lah a pha roi torei teh, Elijah ni Elisha koe kai hoi kamphei hoehnahlan vah, bangmaw na sak pouh han, het leih atipouh. Elisha ni nang ni na coe e muitha let hni touh na poe loe atipouh.
10 “You have requested a difficult thing,” said Elijah. “Nevertheless, if you see me as I am taken from you, it will be yours. But if not, then it will not be so.”
Ahni ni ka ru poung e doeh na hei, ka ru nakunghai thoseh, nang koehai kai yout la e lah ka o navah na hmawt pawiteh, na coe han. Na hmawt hoehpawiteh, na coe mahoeh atipouh.
11 As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire with horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up into heaven in a whirlwind.
Hahoi teh cungtalah reirei pou a cei roi teh, khenhaw! hmaileng hoi hmaimarang a kamnue teh a rahak roi dawk a bo teh, a kâkapek roi. Elijah teh bongparui dawk hoi, kalvan a luen.
12 As Elisha watched, he cried out, “My father, my father, the chariots and horsemen of Israel!” And he saw Elijah no more. So taking hold of his own clothes, he tore them in two.
Hahoi Elisha ni a hmu teh, Apa, Apa Isarelnaw e leng hoi marangransanaw hoi kâvan e, telah a hram teh, ama teh hmawt hoeh toe. A hni hah a kuet teh kahni touh lah a phi.
13 Elisha also picked up the cloak that had fallen from Elijah, and he went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan.
Elijah koehoi e ka bawt e hni hah a la, hahoi a ban teh Jordan palang teng a kangdue.
14 Then he took the cloak of Elijah that had fallen from him and struck the waters. “Where now is the LORD, the God of Elijah?” he asked. And when he had struck the waters, they parted to the right and to the left, and Elisha crossed over.
Ka bawt e Elijah e hni hah a la teh, tui a hem nah, BAWIPA, Elijah Cathut teh nâmaw ao telah ati. Hahoi tui bout a hem torei teh avangvanglah a kâkapek teh Elisha teh namran lah a takhang.
15 When the sons of the prophets who were facing him from Jericho saw what had happened, they said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.” And they went to meet him and bowed down to the ground before him.
Jeriko kho e profet capanaw ni Elisha a hmu awh toteh, Elijah e muitha Elisha koe ao toe telah ati awh. Ahni kâhmo hanlah a cei awh teh talai dawkvah a tabo awh.
16 “Look now,” they said to Elisha, “we your servants have fifty valiant men. Please let them go and search for your master. Perhaps the Spirit of the LORD has taken him up and put him on one of the mountains or in one of the valleys.” “Do not send them,” Elisha replied.
Ahnimouh ni ama koe khenhaw! na sannaw ni, athakaawme tami 50 touh ni na okhai han, pahren lahoi na bawipa tawng sak hanlah kamthaw sak. BAWIPA e a Muitha ni a luenkhai e patetlah mon dawk na ou, hoeh pawiteh tanghling dawk na ou bout a pabo yawkaw han doeh ati awh. Elisha ni apihai patoun hanh leih atipouh.
17 But when they pressed him to the point of embarrassment, he said, “Send them.” And they sent fifty men, who searched for three days but did not find Elijah.
Hatei, ahnimouh ni kayatho totouh a kâhei awh toteh, ti boum teh patoun lawih atipouh. Hat torei teh tami 50 touh a patoun awh. Hnin thum touh thung a tawng awh hat ei hmawt awh hoeh toe.
18 When they returned to Elisha, who was staying in Jericho, he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you not to go?”
Jeriko kho ao navah, ahnimouh bout a tho torei teh ahnimouh koevah, cet hanh awh ka ti nahoehmaw atipouh.
19 Then the men of the city said to Elisha, “Please note, our lord, that the city’s location is good, as you can see. But the water is bad and the land is unfruitful.”
Hote khonaw ni, Elisha koevah khenhaw! hete kho heh bawipa ni na hmu e patetlah phuneppoung e doeh. Hateiteh tui hawihoeh dawkvah camo koung a ro atipouh awh.
20 “Bring me a new bowl,” he replied, “and put some salt in it.” So they brought it to him,
Ahni ni tuium katha e na poe awh palawi theng awh ati pouh teh, a poe awh.
21 and Elisha went out to the spring, cast the salt into it, and said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘I have healed this water. No longer will it cause death or unfruitfulness.’”
Tuiphuek koe a cei teh, hote hah a thung vah a phuen pouh teh BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Hete tui teh ka thoung sak toe. Atu hoi teh duenae hoi camo rawknae awm hoeh toe.
22 And the waters there have been healthy to this day, according to the word spoken by Elisha.
Elisha ni a dei e patetlah atu totouh tui teh a thoung.
23 From there, Elisha went up to Bethel, and as he was walking up the road, a group of boys came out of the city and jeered at him, chanting, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!”
Hahoi teh Bethel lah a takhang. Hote lam a cei awh navah, nawsainaw a tho awh. Koe a panuikhai awh teh, lû luengpalueng e cet takhang haw. Lû luengpalueng e cet takhang haw atipouh awh.
24 Then he turned around, looked at them, and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Suddenly two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.
A kamlang sin teh, ahnimanaw a hmu toteh BAWIPA min lahoi thoe a bo. Kahrawngum hoi tavom manu ka hni touh a tâco teh, ahnimouh koe e camo 42 touh a kei pouh.
25 And Elisha went on to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
Hahoi teh Karmel mon lah a cei awh teh Samaria kho vah a ban awh.
