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,
Kad nu Tas Kungs Eliju vētrā gribēja uzņemt debesīs, tad Elija ar Elišu gāja no Gilgalas.
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.
Un Elija sacīja uz Elišu: paliec jel šeitan, jo Tas Kungs mani sūtījis uz Bēteli. Bet Eliša sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvs un tava dvēsele dzīva, es tevi neatstāšu.
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.”
Un kad tie gāja uz Bēteli, tad tie praviešu bērni, kas bija Bētelē, izgāja pie Elišas un uz to sacīja: vai tu zini, ka Tas Kungs šodien tavu kungu paņems no tavas galvas? Un viņš sacīja: zinu gan, esiet tikai klusu!
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.
Un Elija uz to sacīja: Eliša, paliec jel šeitan, jo Tas Kungs mani sūtījis uz Jēriku. Bet tas sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvs un tava dvēsele dzīva, es tevi neatstāšu. Tā tie gāja uz Jēriku.
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.”
Tad tie praviešu bērni, kas bija Jērikū, piegāja pie Elišas un uz to sacīja: vai tu zini, ka Tas Kungs tavu kungu šodien paņems no tavas galvas? Un tas sacīja: zinu gan, esiet tikai klusu!
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.
Tad Elija uz to sacīja: paliec jel šeitan, jo Tas Kungs mani sūtījis pie Jardānes. Bet tas sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvs un tava dvēsele dzīva, es tevi neatstāšu. Tā tie gāja abi divi.
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.
Un piecdesmit vīri no praviešu bērniem gāja un nostājās iepretim no tālienes; un tie abi stāvēja pie Jardānes.
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.
Tad Elija ņēma savu mēteli un to satina un sita ūdenī, un tas dalījās uz abējām pusēm, ka tie abi gāja cauri sausām kājām.
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.
Kad tie nu bija cauri izgājuši, tad Elija sacīja uz Elišu: lūdz, ko man tev būs darīt, pirms es topu atņemts no tevis. Un Eliša sacīja: lai jel tavs gars divkārtīgā mērā ir uz manis.
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.”
Un viņš sacīja: grūtu lietu tu esi lūdzis; ja tu mani redzēsi, kad es no tevis tapšu atņemts, tad tas tev tā notiks, bet ja ne, tad tas nenotiks.
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.
Un šiem tā ejot un runājot, redzi, ugunīgi rati un ugunīgi zirgi nāca, kas tos abus šķīra. Tā Elija aizbrauca vētrā uz debesīm.
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.
Un Eliša to redzēja un brēca: mans tēvs, mans tēvs! Israēla rati un viņa jātnieki! Un viņš to vairs neredzēja. Un viņš sagrāba savas drēbes un tās saplēsa divos gabalos.
13 Elisha also picked up the cloak that had fallen from Elijah, and he went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan.
Un viņš pacēla Elijas mēteli, kas tam bija nokritis, un griezās atpakaļ un stāvēja Jardānes malā.
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.
Un viņš ņēma Elijas mēteli, kas tam bija nokritis, un sita to ūdeni un sacīja: kur nu Viņš, Tas Kungs, Elijas Dievs? Un viņš sita to ūdeni, un tas dalījās uz abējām pusēm, un Eliša gāja cauri.
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.
Kad nu tie praviešu bērni iepretim Jērikum viņu redzēja, tad tie sacīja: Elijas gars dus uz Elišas, un tie viņam gāja pretī un metās pie zemes viņa priekšā.
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.
Un tie uz viņu sacīja: redzi, starp taviem kalpiem ir piecdesmit spēcīgi vīri, lai tie iet un meklē tavu kungu: kad tik Tā Kunga Gars viņu nav paņēmis un nometis uz kādu kalnu vai kādā ielejā. Bet viņš sacīja: nesūtiet.
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.
Bet tie vēl vairāk lūdza, kamēr palika vai kauns, un viņš sacīja: sūtiet. Un tie sūtīja piecdesmit vīrus un to meklēja trīs dienas un neatrada.
18 When they returned to Elisha, who was staying in Jericho, he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you not to go?”
Tad tie nāca atpakaļ pie viņa uz Jēriku, kur viņš bija palicis, un viņš uz tiem sacīja: vai es jums nesacīju: neejat?
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.”
Un tās pilsētas vīri sacīja uz Elišu: redzi jel, šās pilsētas vieta ir gan laba, kā mans kungs redz, bet ūdens ir nelāga un zeme neauglīga.
20 “Bring me a new bowl,” he replied, “and put some salt in it.” So they brought it to him,
Un viņš sacīja: atnesiet man jaunu kausu un liekat sāli iekšā; un tie viņam to atnesa.
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.’”
Un viņš izgāja pie tā ūdens avota un iemeta tur to sāli iekšā un sacīja: tā saka Tas Kungs: es šo ūdeni esmu veselīgu darījis, no tejienes vairs nenāks ne nāve nedz neauglība.
22 And the waters there have been healthy to this day, according to the word spoken by Elisha.
Tā tas ūdens palika veselīgs līdz šai dienai pēc Elišas vārda, ko viņš bija runājis.
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!”
Un viņš no turienes gāja uz Bēteli, un kad viņš pa ceļu uz augšu gāja, tad mazi puikas no pilsētas nāca ārā un to mēdīja un uz to sacīja: plikgalvi, nāc augšā, plikgalvi, nāc augšā!
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.
Un viņš apgriezās, un tos ieraudzījis viņš tos nolādēja Tā Kunga Vārdā. Tad divi lāči iznāca no meža un no tiem saplosīja četrdesmit un divus bērnus.
25 And Elisha went on to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
Un viņš no turienes gāja uz Karmeļa kalnu, un no turienes viņš griezās atpakaļ uz Samariju.
