< 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.
At nangyari, nang isasampa ng Panginoon si Elias sa langit sa pamamagitan ng isang ipoipo, na si Elias ay yumaong kasama ni Eliseo mula sa Gilgal.
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,
At sinabi ni Elias kay Eliseo, Isinasamo ko sa iyo na maghintay ka rito: sapagka't sinugo ako ng Panginoon hanggang sa Beth-el. At sinabi ni Eliseo, Buhay ang Panginoon, at buhay ang iyong kaluluwa, hindi kita iiwan. Sa gayo'y bumaba sila sa Beth-el.
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.”
At nilabas ng mga anak ng mga propeta na nasa Beth-el si Eliseo, at nagsipagsabi sa kaniya, Talastas mo ba na ihihiwalay ng Panginoon ang iyong panginoon sa iyong ulo ngayon? At kaniyang sinabi, Oo, talastas ko; pumayapa kayo.
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,
At sinabi ni Elias sa kaniya, Eliseo, isinasamo ko sa iyo na maghintay ka rito; sapagka't sinugo ako ng Panginoon sa Jerico. At kaniyang sinabi, Buhay ang Panginoon, at buhay ang iyong kaluluwa, hindi kita iiwan. Sa gayo'y nagsiparoon sila sa Jerico.
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.”
At nagsilapit kay Eliseo ang mga anak ng mga propeta na nangasa Jerico, at nagsipagsabi sa kaniya, Talastas mo ba na ihihiwalay ng Panginoon ang iyong panginoon sa iyong ulo ngayon? At siya'y sumagot, Oo, talastas ko; pumayapa kayo.
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.
At sinabi ni Elias sa kaniya, Isinasamo ko sa iyo na maghintay ka rito; sapagka't sinugo ako ng Panginoon sa Jordan. At kaniyang sinabi, Buhay ang Panginoon, at buhay ang iyong kaluluwa, hindi kita iiwan. At silang dalawa ay nagsiyaon.
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.
At limangpu sa mga anak ng mga propeta ay nagsiyaon, at nagsitayo sa tapat nila sa malayo; at silang dalawa ay nagsitayo sa tabi ng Jordan.
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.
At kinuha ni Elias ang kaniyang balabal, at tiniklop, at hinampas ang tubig, at nahawi dito at doon, na ano pa't silang dalawa'y nagsidaan sa tuyong lupa.
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.”
At nangyari, nang sila'y makatawid, na sinabi ni Elias kay Eliseo, Hingin mo kung ano ang gagawin ko sa iyo, bago ako ihiwalay sa iyo. At sinabi ni Eliseo, Isinasamo ko sa iyo, na ang ibayong bahagi ng iyong diwa ay sumaakin.
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.”
At sinabi niya, Ikaw ay humingi ng mabigat na bagay: gayon ma'y kung makita mo ako pagka ako'y inihiwalay sa iyo, magiging gayon sa iyo; nguni't kung hindi ay hindi magiging gayon.
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.
At nangyari, samantalang sila'y nagpapatuloy, at nagsasalitaan, na narito, napakita ang isang karong apoy, at mga kabayong apoy, na naghiwalay sa kanila kapuwa; at si Elias ay sumampa sa langit sa pamamagitan ng isang ipoipo.
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.
At nakita ni Eliseo, at siya'y sumigaw. Ama ko, ama ko, mga karo ng Israel at mga mangangabayo niyaon! At hindi na niya nakita siya: at kaniyang hinawakan ang kaniyang sariling kasuutan, at hinapak ng dalawang hati.
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.
Kinuha rin niya ang balabal ni Elias na nahulog sa kaniya, at siya'y bumalik, at tumayo sa tabi ng pangpang ng Jordan.
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.
At kaniyang kinuha ang balabal ni Elias na nahulog sa kaniya, at hinampas ang tubig, at sinabi, Saan nandoon ang Panginoon, ang Dios ni Elias? at nang kaniyang mahampas naman ang tubig, ay nahawi dito at doon: at si Eliseo ay tumawid.
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.
At nang makita siya ng mga anak ng mga propeta na nangasa Jerico sa tapat niya, ay kanilang sinabi, Ang diwa ni Elias ay sumasa kay Eliseo. At sila'y nagsiyaon na sinalubong siya, at sila'y nangagpatirapa sa lupa sa harap niya.
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.”
At kanilang sinabi sa kaniya, Narito ngayon, sa iyong mga lingkod ay may limangpung malalakas na lalake; isinasamo namin sa iyo na payaunin mo sila, at hanapin ang inyong panginoon, baka sakaling itinaas ng Espiritu ng Panginoon, at inihagis sa isang bundok, o sa isang libis. At kaniyang sinabi, Huwag kayong magsipagsugo.
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.
At nang kanilang pilitin siya hanggang sa siya'y mapahiya, at kaniyang sinabi, Magsipagsugo kayo. Sila'y nagsipagsugo nga ng limangpung lalake, at hinanap nilang tatlong araw, nguni't hindi nasumpungan siya.
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?’”
At sila'y nagsibalik sa kaniya, samantalang siya'y naghihintay sa Jerico; at kaniyang sinabi sa kanila, Di ba sinabi ko sa inyo: Huwag kayong magsiyaon?
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.”
At sinabi ng mga lalake sa bayan kay Eliseo: Tingnan mo, isinasamo namin sa iyo, na ang kalagayan ng bayang ito ay maligaya, gaya ng nakikita ng aking panginoon: nguni't ang tubig ay masama, at ang lupa ay nagpapalagas ng bunga.
20 And so he said, “Bring a new vessel to me, and place salt in it.” And when they had brought it,
At kaniyang sinabi, Dalhan ninyo ako ng isang bagong banga, at sidlan ninyo ng asin. At kanilang dinala sa kaniya.
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.”
At siya'y naparoon sa bukal ng tubig, at hinagisan niya ng asin, at nagsabi, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Aking pinabuti ang tubig na ito; hindi na magkakaroon mula rito ng kamatayan pa o pagkalagas ng bunga.
22 Then the waters were healed, even to this day, in accord with the word of Elisha, which he spoke.
Sa gayo'y bumuti ang tubig hanggang sa araw na ito, ayon sa salita ni Eliseo na kaniyang sinalita.
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!”
At siya'y umahon sa Beth-el mula roon: at samantalang siya'y umaahon sa daan, may nagsilabas sa bayan na mga bata, at tinuya siya, at sinabi nila sa kaniya, Umahon ka, ikaw na kalbo ang ulo; umahon ka, ikaw na kalbo ang ulo.
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.
At siya'y lumingon sa likuran niya, at nangakita niya, at sinumpa niya sila sa pangalan ng Panginoon. At doo'y lumabas ang dalawang osong babae sa gubat, at lumapa ng apat na pu't dalawang bata sa kanila.
25 Then he went away from there to mount Carmel. And he returned from there into Samaria.
At siya'y naparoon sa bundok ng Carmelo mula roon, at mula roo'y bumalik siya sa Samaria.
