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,
Ary nony efa hampakarin’ i Jehovah ho any an-danitra amin’ ny tafio-drivotra Elia, dia niara-nandeha avy tany Gilgala izy sy Elisa.
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.
Ary hoy Elia tamin’ i Elisa: Masìna ianao, mijanòna eto; fa Jehovah efa naniraka ahy hatrany Betela. Fa hoy Elisa: Raha velona koa Jehovah, ary raha velona koa ny ainao, tsy handao anao mihitsy aho. Ka dia nidina nankany Betela izy roa lahy.
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.”
Ary nivoaka nankany amin’ i Elisa ireo zanaky ny mpaminany izay tao Betela ka nanao taminy hoe: Fantatrao va fa anio no hangalan’ i Jehovah ny tomponao hiala ho any ambonin’ ny lohanao? Dia hoy izy: Eny, fantatro ihany koa izany, fa mangìna ianareo.
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.
Ary hoy Elia taminy: Masìna ianao, ry Elisa, mijanòna eto; fa Jehovah efa naniraka ahy ho any Jeriko. Fa hoy Elisa: Raha velona koa Jehovah, ary raha velona koa ny ainao, tsy handao anao mihitsy aho. Ka dia tonga tany Jeriko izy roa lahy.
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.”
Ary ireo zanaky ny mpaminany izay tao Jeriko nanatona an’ i Elisa ka nanao taminy hoe: Fantatrao va fa anio no hangalan’ i Jehovah ny tomponao hiala ho any ambonin’ ny lohanao? Ary izy namaly hoe: Eny, fantatro ihany koa izany, fa mangìna ianareo.
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.
Ary hoy Elia taminy: Masìna ianao, mijanòna eto; fa Jehovah efa naniraka ahy ho any Jordana. Fa hoy Elisa: Raha velona koa Jehovah, ary raha velona koa ny ainao, tsy handao anao mihitsy aho. Ary dia lasa nandeha izy roa lahy.
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.
Ary nisy dimam-polo lahy, zanaky ny mpaminany, nandeha, dia nijanona tandrifiny teny lavitra eny; fa izy roa lahy kosa nitsangana teo amoron’ i Jordana.
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.
Ary Elia nandray ny kapôtiny ka namalona azy, dia nikapoka ny rano, ary nisaraka roa ny rano, ka dia nita tamin’ ny tany maina izy roa lahy.
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.
Ary nony efa tafita izy roa lahy, dia hoy Elia tamin’ i Elisa: Angataho izay hataoko ho anao, dieny tsy mbola misaraka aminao aho. Ary hoy Elisa: Masìna ianao, aoka ny anjaran-droa amin’ ny fanahinao mba ho ahy.
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.”
Fa hoy izy: Sarotra ny nangatahinao; kanefa raha mahita ahy misaraka aminao ianao, dia ho anao ihany izany; fa raha tsy izany kosa, dia tsy ho anao izany.
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.
Ary raha mbola nandeha sy niresaka izy roa lahy, dia, indro, nisy kalesy afo sy soavaly afo nampisaraka azy roa lahy; ary Elia niakatra tamin’ ny tafio-drivotra ho any an-danitra.
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.
Ary raha nahita izany Elisa, dia niantso hoe: Ry ikaky ô, ry ikaky ô, eny kalesin’ ny Isiraely sy ny mpitaingin-tsoavaliny! Dia tsy nahita azy intsony izy. Ary noraisiny ny fitafiany ka notriariny roa.
13 Elisha also picked up the cloak that had fallen from Elijah, and he went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan.
Ary nalainy ny kapôtin’ i Elia izay latsaka avy teny aminy, dia niverina izy ka nitsangana teo amoron’ i Jordana.
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.
Dia noraisin’ i Elisa ny kapôtin’ i Elia, ilay latsaka avy teny aminy, ka nakapony ny rano, dia hoy izy: Aiza Jehovah, Andriamanitr’ i Elia? Eny, Elisa koa nikapoka ny rano, dia nisaraka roa izany, ka dia nita izy.
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.
Ary raha nahita azy ireo ny zanaky ny mpaminany izay nanandrify azy teo Jeriko, dia nanao hoe: Ny fanahin’ i Elia efa mipetraka amin’ i Elisa. Ary nandeha nitsena azy ireo ka niankohoka tamin’ ny tany teo anatrehany.
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.
Dia hoy ireo taminy: Indro, misy dimam-polo lahy matanjaka ato amin’ ny mpanomponao; masìna ianao, aoka handeha hitady ny tomponao ireo, fandrao naingain’ ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah izy ka nazerany any an-tendrombohitra anankiray, na any an-dohasaha anankiray. Fa hoy izy: Aza maniraka ianareo.
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.
Ary raha nanery azy ireo mandra-pikaodikaodiny, dia hoy izy: Maniraha ary. Dia naniraka dimam-polo lahy izy; ary nitady azy hateloana ireny, fa tsy nahita.
18 When they returned to Elisha, who was staying in Jericho, he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you not to go?”
Ary tonga tao aminy indray ireny, raha mbola tao Jeriko ihany izy, dia hoy izy taminy: Tsy nilaza taminareo va aho nanao hoe: Aza mandeha?
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.”
Ary hoy ny mponina tao amin’ izany tanàna izany tamin’ i Elisa: Masìna ianao, indro, tsara toerana ity tanàna ity, tompoko, araka izao hitanao izao, saingy ratsy rano, ary ny tany tsy mampahavanon’ anaka.
20 “Bring me a new bowl,” he replied, “and put some salt in it.” So they brought it to him,
Dia hoy izy: Itondray lovia vaovao aho, ka asio sira ao anatiny. Dia nentiny tany aminy izany.
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.’”
Ary nivoaka nankany amin’ ilay niandohan’ ny rano izy, dia nanipy sira tao ka nanao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Efa nahatsara ity rano ity Aho; tsy hisy fahafatesana na tsi-fahavanonan’ anaka intsony hiseho eto.
22 And the waters there have been healthy to this day, according to the word spoken by Elisha.
Ka dia tsara ny rano mandraka androany araka ny teny nataon’ i Elisa.
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!”
Ary dia niakatra avy tao izy ka nankany Betela; ary nony niakatra teny an-dalana izy, dia, indreo, nisy ankizilahy madinika nivoaka avy tao an-tanàna ka nanakora azy hoe: Miakara, ry ilay sola; miakara, ry ilay sola!
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.
Ary nitodika izy ka nahita azy, dia nanozona azy tamin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah. Ary dia nisy beravavy roa avy tany an’ ala namiravira roa amby efa-polo tamin’ ireo ankizilahy madinika ireo.
25 And Elisha went on to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
Dia niala teo Elisa ka nankany an-tendrombohitra Karmela, ary avy tao no niverenany any Samaria.
