< 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,
At nangyari, nang kukunin na ni Yahweh si Elias paakyat sa langit sa pamamagitan ng ipu-ipo, umalis si Elias kasama si Eliseo sa 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.
Sinabi ni Elias kay Eliseo, “Pakiusap, manatili ka rito dahil pinapadala ako ni Yahweh sa Bethel.” Sumagot si Eliseo, “Hanggang nabubuhay si Yahweh at hanggang nabubuhay ka, hindi kita iiwan.” Kaya pumunta sila sa 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.”
Pumunta ang mga anak ng mga propeta na nasa Bethel kay Eliseo at sinabi sa kaniya, “Alam mo ba na kukunin ni Yahweh ang panginoon mo ngayong araw na ito?” Sumagot si Eliseo, “Oo, alam ko, pero huwag ninyo ng banggitin iyon.”
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.
Sinabi ni Elias sa kaniya, “Eliseo, pakiusap, manatili ka rito, dahil pinapadala ako ni Yahweh sa Jerico.” At sumagot si Eliseo, “Hanggang nabubuhay si Yahweh at hanggang nabubuhay ka, hindi kita iiwan.” Kaya nagpunta sila sa Jerico.
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.”
Pagkatapos pumunta ang mga anak ng mga propeta kay Eliseo na nasa Jerico at sinabi sa kaniya, “Alam mo ba na kukunin ni Yahweh ang panginoon mo ngayong araw na ito?” Sumagot si Eliseo, “Oo, alam ko, pero huwag ninyo ng banggitin iyon.”
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.
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Elias sa kaniya, “Eliseo, pakiusap, manatili ka rito, dahil pinapadala ako ni Yahweh sa Jordan.” At sumagot si Eliseo, “Hanggang nabubuhay si Yahweh at hanggang nabubuhay ka, hindi kita iiwan.” Kaya nagtungo ang dalawa.
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.
Kinalaunan, limampung anak ng mga propeta ang tumayo sa harap ng dalawa habang nakatayo sa kabilang dako ng 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.
Hinubad ni Elias ang kaniyang balabal, tinupi, at hinampas ang tubig gamit ito. Nahati sa dalawang bahagi ang ilog kaya nakalakad ang dalawa sa tuyong lupa.
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.
At iyon nga ang nangyari pagkatapos nilang tumawid sa kabila, sinabi ni Elias kay Eliseo, “Hilingin mo sa akin ang ibig mong gawin ko para sa iyo bago ako kunin sa piling mo.” Sumagot si Eliseo, “Kung maaari hayaan mong mapunta sa akin ang dalawang ulit ng iyong espiritu.”
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.”
Sumagot si Elias, “Humihiling ka ng mahirap na bagay. Gayun pa man, kung makikita mo ako kapag kinuha ako mula sa iyo, mangyayari ito sa iyo, pero kung hindi, hindi mangyayari iyon.”
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.
Habang naglalakad sila at nag-uusap, biglang may isang karwahe ng apoy at mga kabayong apoy ang lumitaw, na nagpahiwalay sa kanila, at nilipad pataas si Elias sa pamamagitan ng ipu-ipo sa langit.
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.
Nakita iyon ni Eliseo at nanangis, “Ama ko, ama ko, ang mga karwahe ng Israel at kanilang kabalyero!” Hindi na niya nakita si Elias, at hinawakan ang kaniyang damit at pinunit sa dalawang bahagi.
13 Elisha also picked up the cloak that had fallen from Elijah, and he went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan.
Dinampot niya ang nahulog na balabal mula kay Elias, at bumalik sa pampang ng Jordan para tumayo roon.
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.
Hinampas niya ang tubig gamit ang nahulog na balabal ni Elias at sinabi, “Nasaan si Yahweh, ang Diyos ni Elias?” Nang hinampas niya ang tubig, nahati ito sa dalawalang bahagi at tumawid si Eliseo.
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.
Nang nakita ng mga anak ng mga propeta na mula sa Jerico na nakatawid siya, sinabi nila, “Napunta ang espiritu ni Elias kay Eliseo!” Kaya nagpunta sila para salubungin siya, at iniyuko ang kanilang mga sarili sa lupa sa kaniyang harapan.
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.
Sinabi nila sa kaniya, “Tingnan mo, may limampung malalakas na lalaki mula sa iyong mga alipin. Hinihiling namin na ipadala mo sila para hanapin ang iyong panginoon, kung sakali na kinuha siya ng Espiritu ni Yahweh at hinagis sa ilang bundok o ilang lambak.” Sumagot si Eliseo, “Hindi, huwag ninyo silang ipadala.”
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.
Pero nang napilit nila si Eliseo hanggang sa mahiya na siya, sinabi niya, “Ipadala ninyo na sila.” Pagkatapos nagpadala sila ng limampung kalalakihan, at naghanap sila ng tatlong araw, pero hindi siya nahanap.
18 When they returned to Elisha, who was staying in Jericho, he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you not to go?”
Bumalik sila kay Eliseo, habang nanatili siya sa Jerico, at sinabi niya sa kanila, “Hindi ba sinabi ko na sa inyo, 'Huwag na kayong pumunta'?”
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.”
Sinabi ng mga lalaki sa lungsod kay Eliseo, “Nagmamakaawa kami sa iyo, nakikita mo na mabuti ang kalagayan ng lungsod na ito, gaya ng nakikita ng panginoon ko, pero madumi ang tubig at hindi mabunga ang lupain.”
20 “Bring me a new bowl,” he replied, “and put some salt in it.” So they brought it to him,
Sumagot si Eliseo, “Magdala kayo sa akin ng bagong mangkok at lagyan ito ng asin,” kaya dinala nila iyon sa kaniya.
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.’”
Nagpunta si Eliseo sa bukal ng tubig at tinapon ang asin doon; at kaniyang sinabi, “Sinabi ito ni Yahweh, 'Pinagaling ko na ang tubigang ito. Mula sa oras na ito, walang ng kamatayan at lupaing hindi mamumunga,'”
22 And the waters there have been healthy to this day, according to the word spoken by Elisha.
Kaya gumaling ang tubigan sa araw ding iyon, sa pamamagitan ng mga salita na sinabi ni Eliseo.
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!”
Pagkatapos pumunta si Eliseo mula roon hanggang sa Bethel. Habang papunta siya sa kaniyang daraanan, may mga batang lalaki ang lumabas mula sa lungsod at hinamak siya; sinabi nila sa kaniya,” Umakyat ka, kalbo! Umaakyat ka, kalbo!”
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.
Tumingin si Eliseo sa kaniyang likuran at nakita sila; tumawag siya kay Yahweh para sumpain sila. Pagkatapos dalawang babaeng oso ang lumabas sa kakahuyan at sinugod ang apatnapu't dalawang bata.
25 And Elisha went on to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
Pagkatapos pumunta si Eliseo mula roon sa Bundok Carmel, at mula roon bumalik siya sa Samaria.
