< 2 Kings 2 >
1 Now it happened that, when the Lord willed to lift up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were going out of Gilgal.
BAWIPA ni Elijah heh bongparui hoi kalvan lah tawm hanlah ao toung dawkvah, Elijah teh Elisha hoi Gilgal hoi a cei roi.
2 And Elijah said to Elisha: “Remain here. For the Lord has sent me as far as Bethel.” And Elisha said to him, “As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not forsake you.” And when they had descended to Bethel,
Elijah ni, Elisha koevah pahren lahoi hi la awm loe. Bangdawk tet pawiteh, BAWIPA ni Bethel vah pou cei hanelah na patoun atipouh. Hatei Elisha ni BAWIPA hoi na hringnae a hring e patetlah kaawm mahoeh ati teh Bethel lah a ceicathuk roi.
3 the sons of the prophets, who were at Bethel, went out to Elisha. And they said to him, “Do you not know that today the Lord will take away your lord from you?” And he responded: “I know it. Be silent.”
Bethel kaawm e profet capanaw Elisha koe a tho awh teh, sahnin vah BAWIPA ni na bawipa hah na la pouh han tie na panue maw telah a pacei awh. Oe ka panue doeh, duem awm awh atipouh.
4 Then Elijah said to Elisha: “Remain here. For the Lord has sent me to Jericho.” And he said, “As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not forsake you.” And when they had arrived at Jericho,
Elijah ni, Elisha koe pahren lahoi hi la awmh. BAWIPA ni Jeriko kho pou ceitakhai hanelah na patoun atipouh. Hatei BAWIPA a hring e hoi nang na hring e patetlah kaawm mahoeh ati teh Jeriko vah pou a cei roi.
5 the sons of the prophets, who were at Jericho, drew near to Elisha. And they said to him, “Do you not know that today the Lord will take away your lord from you?” And he said: “I know it. Be silent.”
Jeriko kaawm e profet capanaw teh Elisha koe a cei teh, sahnin vah BAWIPA ni na bawipa he na la pouh han toe tie na panue maw atipouh awh. Oe ka panue bokheiyah duem awm awh telah a pathung.
6 Then Elijah said to him: “Remain here. For the Lord has sent me as far as the Jordan.” And he said, “As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not forsake you.” And so, the two of them continued on together.
Elijah ni pahren lahoi hi ma la awm lawih. BAWIPA ni Jordan pou cei hanelah, na patoun telah atipouh. BAWIPA hoi nang na hring e patetlah kaawm mahoeh atipouh teh kahni touh hoi rei a cei roi.
7 And fifty men from the sons of the prophets followed them, and they stood opposite them, at a distance. But the two of them were standing above the Jordan.
Hahoi profet capanaw thung dawk hoi tami 50 touh a cei teh kahni touh hoi Jordan palang a kangdue navah, ahnimouh koe lahoi kahlathnawn a kamlang roi teh kahlathnawn lah a kangdue roi.
8 And Elijah took his cloak, and he rolled it up, and he struck the waters, which were divided into two parts. And they both went across on dry ground.
Elijah ni a hni hah a la teh, a taoung hnukkhu, tui hah a hem teh a vangvang lah a kâkapek. Hahoi ahnimouh roi teh talai kaphui dawk a cei roi.
9 And when they had gone across, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what you wish that I may do for you, before I am taken from you.” And Elisha said, “I beg you, that twice your spirit may be accomplished in me.”
Palang namran lah a pha roi torei teh, Elijah ni Elisha koe kai hoi kamphei hoehnahlan vah, bangmaw na sak pouh han, het leih atipouh. Elisha ni nang ni na coe e muitha let hni touh na poe loe atipouh.
10 And he responded: “You have requested a difficult thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, you will have what you requested. But if you do not see, it shall not be.”
Ahni ni ka ru poung e doeh na hei, ka ru nakunghai thoseh, nang koehai kai yout la e lah ka o navah na hmawt pawiteh, na coe han. Na hmawt hoehpawiteh, na coe mahoeh atipouh.
11 And as they continued on, they were conversing while walking. And behold, a fiery chariot with fiery horses divided the two. And Elijah ascended by a whirlwind into heaven.
Hahoi teh cungtalah reirei pou a cei roi teh, khenhaw! hmaileng hoi hmaimarang a kamnue teh a rahak roi dawk a bo teh, a kâkapek roi. Elijah teh bongparui dawk hoi, kalvan a luen.
12 Then Elisha saw it, and he cried out: “My father, my father! The chariot of Israel with its driver!” And he saw him no more. And he took hold of his own garments, and he tore them into two parts.
Hahoi Elisha ni a hmu teh, Apa, Apa Isarelnaw e leng hoi marangransanaw hoi kâvan e, telah a hram teh, ama teh hmawt hoeh toe. A hni hah a kuet teh kahni touh lah a phi.
13 And he picked up the cloak of Elijah, which had fallen from him. And turning back, he stood above the bank of the Jordan.
Elijah koehoi e ka bawt e hni hah a la, hahoi a ban teh Jordan palang teng a kangdue.
14 And he struck the waters with the cloak of Elijah, which had fallen from him, and they were not divided. And he said, “Where is the God of Elijah, even now?” And he struck the waters, and they were divided here and there. And Elisha went across.
Ka bawt e Elijah e hni hah a la teh, tui a hem nah, BAWIPA, Elijah Cathut teh nâmaw ao telah ati. Hahoi tui bout a hem torei teh avangvanglah a kâkapek teh Elisha teh namran lah a takhang.
15 Then the sons of the prophets, who were at Jericho, watching from a distance, said, “The spirit of Elijah has rested upon Elisha.” And approaching to meet him, they reverenced him prone on the ground.
Jeriko kho e profet capanaw ni Elisha a hmu awh toteh, Elijah e muitha Elisha koe ao toe telah ati awh. Ahni kâhmo hanlah a cei awh teh talai dawkvah a tabo awh.
16 And they said to him, “Behold, with your servants there are fifty strong men, who are able to go forth and to seek your lord. For perhaps, the Spirit of the Lord has taken him up and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley.” But he said, “Do not send them.”
Ahnimouh ni ama koe khenhaw! na sannaw ni, athakaawme tami 50 touh ni na okhai han, pahren lahoi na bawipa tawng sak hanlah kamthaw sak. BAWIPA e a Muitha ni a luenkhai e patetlah mon dawk na ou, hoeh pawiteh tanghling dawk na ou bout a pabo yawkaw han doeh ati awh. Elisha ni apihai patoun hanh leih atipouh.
17 And they urged him, until he acquiesced and said, “Send them.” And they sent fifty men. And after they had searched for three days, they did not find him.
Hatei, ahnimouh ni kayatho totouh a kâhei awh toteh, ti boum teh patoun lawih atipouh. Hat torei teh tami 50 touh a patoun awh. Hnin thum touh thung a tawng awh hat ei hmawt awh hoeh toe.
18 And they returned to him, for he was living in Jericho. And he said to them: “Did I not say to you, ‘Do not send them?’”
Jeriko kho ao navah, ahnimouh bout a tho torei teh ahnimouh koevah, cet hanh awh ka ti nahoehmaw atipouh.
19 Also, the men of the city said to Elisha: “Behold, this city is a very good habitation, as you yourself perceive, O lord. But the waters are very bad, and the ground is barren.”
Hote khonaw ni, Elisha koevah khenhaw! hete kho heh bawipa ni na hmu e patetlah phuneppoung e doeh. Hateiteh tui hawihoeh dawkvah camo koung a ro atipouh awh.
20 And so he said, “Bring a new vessel to me, and place salt in it.” And when they had brought it,
Ahni ni tuium katha e na poe awh palawi theng awh ati pouh teh, a poe awh.
21 he went out to the source of the waters, and he cast the salt into it. And he said: “Thus says the Lord: I have healed these waters, and no longer shall there be death or barrenness in them.”
Tuiphuek koe a cei teh, hote hah a thung vah a phuen pouh teh BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Hete tui teh ka thoung sak toe. Atu hoi teh duenae hoi camo rawknae awm hoeh toe.
22 Then the waters were healed, even to this day, in accord with the word of Elisha, which he spoke.
Elisha ni a dei e patetlah atu totouh tui teh a thoung.
23 Then he went up from there into Bethel. And as he was ascending along the way, little boys departed from the city. And they were mocking him, saying: “Go up, bald head! Go up, bald head!”
Hahoi teh Bethel lah a takhang. Hote lam a cei awh navah, nawsainaw a tho awh. Koe a panuikhai awh teh, lû luengpalueng e cet takhang haw. Lû luengpalueng e cet takhang haw atipouh awh.
24 And when he had looked back, he saw them, and he cursed them in the name of the Lord. And two bears went out from the forest, and they wounded forty-two boys among them.
A kamlang sin teh, ahnimanaw a hmu toteh BAWIPA min lahoi thoe a bo. Kahrawngum hoi tavom manu ka hni touh a tâco teh, ahnimouh koe e camo 42 touh a kei pouh.
25 Then he went away from there to mount Carmel. And he returned from there into Samaria.
Hahoi teh Karmel mon lah a cei awh teh Samaria kho vah a ban awh.
