2 Kings 2
1 Now when the Lord was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a great wind, Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
Esi ɣeyiɣia de be Yehowa nakɔ Eliya ayi dziƒo le ahomya me la, Eliya kple Elisa dze mɔ tso Gilgal.
2 And Elijah said to Elisha, Come no farther for the Lord has sent me to Beth-el. But Elisha said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not be parted from you. So they went down to Beth-el.
Eliya gblɔ na Elisa be, “Nɔ afi sia; Yehowa ɖom ɖe Betel.” Ke Elisa gblɔ be, “Meta Yehowa ƒe agbe kple wò agbe be nyemagblẽ wò ɖi o.” Ale woyi Betel.
3 And at Beth-el the sons of the prophets came out to Elisha and said, Has it been made clear to you that the Lord is going to take away your master from over you today? And he said, Yes, I have knowledge of it: say no more.
Nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo tso Betel va do go Elisa eye wobia Elisa be, “Ènya be Yehowa akɔ wò aƒetɔ adzoe le gbɔwò egbea?” Elisa ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ɛ̃, menya gake migagblɔe o.”
4 Then Elijah said to him, Come no farther, for the Lord has sent me to Jericho. But he said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not be parted from you. So they went on to Jericho.
Tete Eliya gblɔ nɛ be “Elisa, nɔ afi sia elabena Yehowa dɔm ɖe Yeriko.” Ke Elisa gaɖo eŋu be, “Meta Yehowa ƒe agbe kple wò agbe be nyemagblẽ wò ɖi o.” Ale wo ame eve la yi Yeriko.
5 And at Jericho the sons of the prophets came up to Elisha and said to him, Has it been made clear to you that the Lord is going to take away your master from over you today? And he said in answer, Yes, I have knowledge of it: say no more.
Nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe nusrɔ̃la siwo nɔ Yeriko la va bia Elisa be, “Ènya be Yehowa le wò aƒetɔ kplɔ ge adzoe le gbɔwò egbea?” Elisa ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ɛ̃, menya eya ta mizi ɖoɖoe!”
6 Then Elijah said to him, Come no farther, for the Lord has sent me to Jordan. But he said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not be parted from you. So they went on together.
Eliya gblɔ na Elisa be, “Nɔ afi sia; Yehowa ɖom ɖe Yɔdan tɔsisi la nu.” Elisa ɖo eŋu be, “Meta Yehowa kple wò agbe be nyemagblẽ wò ɖi o.” Ale wo ame eve la yi mɔzɔzɔa dzi.
7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went out and took their places facing them a long way off, while the two of them were by the edge of Jordan.
Nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe nusrɔ̃la blaatɔ̃ yi ɖatsi tsitre ɖe adzɔge eye wodze ŋgɔ afi si Eliya kple Elisa tɔ ɖo le Yɔdan tɔsisi la nu.
8 Then Elijah took off his robe, and, rolling it up, gave the water a blow with it, and the waters were parted, flowing back this way and that, so that they went over on dry land.
Eliya ɖe eƒe awu ʋlaya, ŋlɔe eye wòtsɔe ƒo tsi la dzi. Tsi la ma ɖe eve le ɖusime kple miame eye wo kple evea wotsoe le anyigba ƒuƒui dzi.
9 And when they had come to the other side, Elijah said to Elisha, Say what you would have me do for you before I am taken from you. And Elisha said, Be pleased to let a special measure of your spirit be on me.
Esi woɖo go kemɛ dzi la, Eliya gblɔ na Elisa be, “Gblɔe nam, nu ka mawɔ na wò hafi woakɔm adzoe le gbɔwò?” Elisa ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Meɖe kuku tsɔ wò gbɔgbɔ la ƒe teƒe eve nam.”
10 And he said, You have made a hard request: still, if you see me when I am taken from you, you will get your desire; but if not, it will not be so.
Eliya ɖo eŋu be, “Èbia nu sesẽ, ke hã la, ne àkpɔm esime woakɔm adzoe le gbɔwò la, ava eme na wò, ke ne mele alea o la, mava eme na wò o.”
11 And while they went on their way, going on talking together, suddenly there were carriages and horses of fire separating them from one another and Elijah went up to heaven in a great wind.
Esime wonɔ zɔzɔm, nɔ dze ɖom la, dzotasiaɖam kple sɔwo ɖiɖi va ma wo kple evea dome eye Eliya to ahom la me yi dziƒo.
12 And when Elisha saw it he gave a cry, My father, my father, the carriages of Israel and its horsemen! And he saw him no longer; and he was full of grief.
Elisa kpɔe eye wòdo ɣli sesĩe be, “Fofonye! Fofonye! Israel ƒe tasiaɖam kple eƒe sɔdolawo!” Esi wobu ɖee la, etsɔ eya ŋutɔ ƒe awu eye wòdzee.
13 Then he took up Elijah's robe, which had been dropped from him, and went back till he came to the edge of Jordan.
Etsɔ awu si ge le Eliya ŋu eye wòtrɔ yi ɖatsi tsitre ɖe Yɔdan tɔsisi la to.
14 And he took Elijah's robe, which had been dropped from him, and giving the water a blow with it, said, Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah? and at his blow the waters were parted this way and that; and Elisha went over.
Etsɔ awu si ge le Eliya ŋu la ƒo tsi la dzi. Ebia be, “Afi ka Yehowa, Eliya ƒe Mawu la le azɔ?” Esi wòƒo tsia dzi la, tɔsisi la ma ɖe ɖusime kple miame siaa eye wòtso tɔsisi la.
15 And when the sons of the prophets who were facing him at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah is resting on Elisha. And they came out to him, and went down on the earth before him.
Esime nyagblɔɖila siwo tso Yeriko la ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo kpɔ nu si dzɔ la, wodo ɣli gblɔ be, “Eliya ƒe gbɔgbɔ dze Elisa dzi!” Wozɔ yi ɖakpee eye wodo gbe nɛ bubutɔe.
16 And they said, Your servants have with us here fifty strong men; be pleased to let them go in search of Elijah; for it may be that the spirit of the Lord has taken him up and put him down on some mountain or in some valley. But he said, Do not send them.
Wogblɔ nɛ be, “Amegã, ɖe gbe na mí ko, ekema míaƒe duƒula nyuitɔwo dometɔ blaatɔ̃ ayi gbedzi aɖadi wò amegã; ɖewohĩ Yehowa ƒe gbɔgbɔ gblẽe ɖe to aɖe dzi loo alo gblẽe ɖe balime le afi aɖe.” Ke Elisa ɖo eŋu be, “Ao, migaɖe fu na mia ɖokuiwo o.”
17 But when they kept on requesting him, he was shamed and said, Send, then. So they sent fifty men; but after searching for three days, they came back without having seen him.
Ke wonɔ nya sia ƒom ɖe enu va se ɖe esime nya la tii eye wògblɔ be, “Enyo, miyi!” Ale ame blaatɔ̃awo yi ɖadii ŋkeke etɔ̃, ke womekpɔe o.
18 And they came back to him, while he was still at Jericho; and he said to them, Did I not say to you, Go not?
Elisa ganɔ Yeriko esime ameawo trɔ gbɔ. Egblɔ na wo be, “Ɖe nyemegblɔe na mi be migayi oa?”
19 Now the men of the town said to Elisha, You see that the position of this town is good; but the water is bad, causing the young of the cattle to come to birth dead.
Azɔ la, Yeriko dumegãwo va kpɔ Elisa eye wogblɔ nɛ be, “Nane le fu ɖem na mí. Wò ŋutɔ ènya be wotso du sia ɖe teƒe nyui aɖe, ke míaƒe tsi menyo o, eye wònana fu gena le míaƒe funɔwo ƒo.”
20 So he said, Get me a new vessel, and put salt in it; and they took it to him.
Elisa gblɔ na wo be, “Enyo, miku dze ɖe agba yeye aɖe me vɛ nam.” Wowɔ nenema.
21 Then he went out to the spring from which the water came, and put salt in it, and said, The Lord says, Now I have made this water sweet; no longer will it be death-giving or unfertile.
Elisa yi tsi la ƒe dzɔtsoƒe, tsɔ dze la kɔ ɖe eme eye wògblɔ be, “Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, ‘Mewɔ tsi sia kɔkɔe eye magahe ku alo fu gege vɛ azɔ o.’”
22 And the water was made sweet again to this day, as Elisha said.
Kpɔ ɖa, tsi la trɔ zu tsi nyui enumake tso ɣe ma ɣi va se ɖe fifia abe ale si Elisa gblɔ ene.
23 Then from there he went up to Beth-el; and on his way, some little boys came out from the town and made sport of him, crying, Go up, old no-hair! go up, old no-hair!
Elisa tso Yeriko yi Betel. Esi wònɔ zɔzɔm le mɔa dzi la, ŋutsuvi sue aɖewo tso dua me va nɔ fewu ɖum le eŋu be, “Dzo le afi sia, Elisa tabebetɔ.”
24 And turning back, he saw them, and put a curse on them in the name of the Lord. And two she-bears came out of the wood and put forty-two of the children to death.
Elisa trɔ kpɔ wo eye wòƒo fi de wo le Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ me. Enumake sisiblisinɔ eve do go tso ave aɖe me va vuvu wo ame blaene-vɔ-eve.
25 From there he went to Mount Carmel, and came back from there to Samaria.
Esia megbe la, Elisa yi Karmel to la dzi hafi trɔ yi Samaria.
