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,
E kinde mane Jehova Nyasaye dwaro tero Elija e polo kotingʼe gi kalausi, noyudo ka Elija gi Elisha osewuok Gilgal.
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.
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 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.”
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 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.
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 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.”
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 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.
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 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.
Kanyakla mar jonabi piero abich nodhi mochungʼ gichien ka gingʼiyo kama Elija kod Elisha nochungʼie e dho aora Jordan.
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.
Elija nobano lawe mar abola kendo ochwadogo pi, pi nobarore kochomo korachwich gi koracham mi ji ariyogo nongʼado kama otwo kadhi komachielo.
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.
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 “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.”
Elija nodwoke niya, “Ikwayo gima tek to kineno ka ikawa adhi, to niyude; to ka ok ineno kikawa, to ok iniyudi.”
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.
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 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.
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 Elisha also picked up the cloak that had fallen from Elijah, and he went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan.
Nokwanyo law mar abola mane olwar koa kuom Elija mi odok kendo ochungʼ e bath aora Jordan.
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.
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 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.
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 “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.
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 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.
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 When they returned to Elisha, who was staying in Jericho, he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you not to go?”
Kane gidwogo ir Elisha mane oyudo odak Jeriko, nowachonegi niya, “Donge ne akwerou ni kik udhi?”
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.”
Ji mane odak Jeriko nowachone Elisha niya, “Jaduongʼ neye kaka dalawani oger kama ber, makmana pige ema rach kendo lope ok miyo.”
20 “Bring me a new bowl,” he replied, “and put some salt in it.” So they brought it to him,
Ne owachonegi niya, “Kelnauru bakul manyien kendo uket chumbi e iye.” Omiyo negitimo kamano.
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.’”
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 And the waters there have been healthy to this day, according to the word spoken by Elisha.
Kendo pigno osesiko ka ber nyaka chil kawuono kaluwore gi wach mane Elisha owacho.
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!”
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 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.
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 And Elisha went on to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
Kendo nodhi e got Karmel kendo koa kanyo noduogo Samaria.
