2 Kings 2
1 And it came to pass when Jehovah would take up Elijah into the heavens by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
Tibalah waktunya TUHAN hendak mengangkat Elia ke surga dengan perantaraan angin puyuh. Ketika itu Elia dan Elisa telah berangkat dari Gilgal,
2 And Elijah said to Elisha, Abide here, I pray thee; for Jehovah has sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee! So they went down to Bethel.
dan di tengah jalan Elia berkata kepada Elisa, "Tinggallah di sini. Saya disuruh TUHAN pergi ke Betel." Tetapi Elisa menjawab, "Demi TUHAN yang hidup dan demi nyawa Bapak, saya tidak akan meninggalkan Bapak." Jadi mereka bersama-sama meneruskan perjalanan sampai ke Betel.
3 And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said to him, Dost thou know that Jehovah will take away thy master from over thy head to-day? And he said, I also know it: be silent!
Sekelompok nabi yang tinggal di situ pergi menemui Elisa dan bertanya, "Tahukah engkau bahwa pada hari ini tuanmu akan meninggalkan engkau karena diangkat oleh TUHAN?" "Ya, saya tahu," jawab Elisa. "Tapi sudahlah, tak usah kita membicarakan hal itu."
4 And Elijah said to him, Elisha, abide here, I pray thee; for Jehovah has sent me to Jericho. And he said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee! And they came to Jericho.
Kemudian berkatalah Elia kepada Elisa, "Tinggallah di sini, saya disuruh TUHAN pergi ke Yerikho." Tetapi Elisa menjawab, "Demi TUHAN yang hidup dan demi nyawa Bapak, saya tak akan meninggalkan Bapak." Jadi mereka berdua meneruskan perjalanan sampai ke Yerikho.
5 And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho drew near to Elisha and said to him, Dost thou know that Jehovah will take away thy master from over thy head to-day? And he said, I also know it: be silent!
Sekelompok nabi yang tinggal di situ pergi menemui Elisa dan bertanya, "Tahukah engkau bahwa pada hari ini tuanmu akan diangkat Allah dan meninggalkan engkau?" "Ya, saya tahu," jawab Elisa. "Tapi sudahlah, tak usah kita membicarakan hal itu."
6 And Elijah said to him, Abide here, I pray thee; for Jehovah has sent me to the Jordan. And he said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee! And they two went on.
Kemudian berkatalah Elia kepada Elisa, "Tinggallah di sini. Saya disuruh TUHAN pergi ke Sungai Yordan." Tetapi Elisa menjawab, "Demi TUHAN yang hidup dan demi nyawa Bapak, saya tak akan meninggalkan Bapak." Maka mereka meneruskan perjalanan sampai ke Sungai Yordan,
7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite afar off; and they two stood by the Jordan.
dan 50 orang nabi mengikuti mereka. Lalu Elia dan Elisa berhenti di tepi sungai, dan kelima puluh nabi itu berdiri tidak seberapa jauh dari situ.
8 And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither; and they two went over on dry ground.
Elia melepaskan jubahnya, lalu menggulung dan memukulkannya ke atas air sungai itu. Maka air sungai itu terbagi dua, sehingga ia dan Elisa dapat berjalan di dasar yang kering.
9 And it came to pass when they had gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I am taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
Setelah sampai di seberang, Elia berkata kepada Elisa, "Mintalah apa yang kauinginkan dari saya sebelum saya diangkat TUHAN dan meninggalkan engkau!" Elisa menjawab, "Wariskanlah kuasa Bapak kepada saya, supaya saya dapat menjadi pengganti Bapak."
10 And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so to thee; but if not, it shall not be [so].
"Wah, itu sukar sekali," sahut Elia. "Tetapi kalau engkau melihat saya pada waktu saya diangkat TUHAN, permintaanmu akan dikabulkan. Kalau kau tidak melihat, permintaanmu akan ditolak."
11 And it came to pass as they went on, and talked, that behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire; and they parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into the heavens.
Sambil berjalan, mereka berdua terus bercakap-cakap. Tiba-tiba sebuah kereta berapi yang ditarik oleh kuda berapi datang memisahkan mereka berdua lalu Elia diangkat ke surga oleh angin puyuh.
12 And Elisha saw [it], and he cried, My father, my father! the chariot of Israel and the horsemen thereof! And he saw him no more. Then he took hold of his own garments and rent them in two pieces.
Elisa melihatnya lalu berseru, "Elia, Bapakku! Bapakku! Pelindung Israel yang perkasa! Bapak sudah tiada!" Maka hilanglah Elia dari pemandangan Elisa. Dengan sedih Elisa menyobek jubahnya menjadi dua,
13 And he took up the mantle of Elijah which fell from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan;
lalu memungut jubah Elia yang terjatuh. Setelah itu ia kembali dan berdiri di tepi Sungai Yordan,
14 and he took the mantle of Elijah which had fallen from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is Jehovah, the God of Elijah? He also smote the waters, and they parted hither and thither, and Elisha went over.
lalu memukulkan jubah Elia itu ke atas air serta berkata, "Di manakah TUHAN, Allah Elia itu?" Setelah ia memukulkan jubah itu ke air sungai itu, air itu terbagi dua dan ia berjalan ke seberang.
15 And the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho on the opposite side saw him, and they said, The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him,
Kelima puluh nabi di Yerikho itu melihatnya, lalu berkata, "Kuasa Elia sudah pindah kepada Elisa!" Mereka mendatangi dia lalu sujud di depannya
16 and said to him, Behold now, there are with thy servants fifty valiant men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master, lest perhaps the Spirit of Jehovah have taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some ravine. And he said, Ye shall not send.
dan berkata, "Kami ada 50 orang, semuanya kuat-kuat. Karena itu, marilah kita pergi mencari Elia tuanmu. Mungkin Roh TUHAN telah membawa dia ke gunung atau ke lembah, lalu meninggalkannya di situ." "Tidak usah!" jawab Elisa.
17 And they pressed him till he was ashamed, and he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men, and they sought three days, but did not find him.
Tetapi mereka terus saja mendesak sehingga ia menyetujuinya. Maka pergilah kelima puluh nabi itu mencari Elia selama tiga hari, tetapi mereka tidak menemukannya.
18 And they came again to him (now he was staying at Jericho); and he said to them, Did I not say to you, Go not?
Lalu mereka kembali kepada Elisa yang sedang menunggu di Yerikho. "Bukankah saya sudah berkata bahwa kalian tidak usah pergi?" kata Elisa kepada mereka.
19 And the men of the city said to Elisha, Behold now, the situation of the city is good, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land is barren.
Beberapa orang dari Yerikho datang kepada Elisa dan berkata, "Pak, seperti yang Bapak lihat sendiri, kota ini baik, tetapi airnya tidak baik dan menyebabkan wanita yang hamil, keguguran."
20 And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt in it. And they brought it to him.
"Ambilkan mangkuk yang masih baru," kata Elisa, "dan taruhlah garam di dalamnya." Maka mereka membawa yang dimintanya itu kepadanya.
21 And he went forth to the source of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith Jehovah: I have healed these waters: there shall not be from thence any more death or barrenness.
Lalu pergilah Elisa ke sumber air kemudian melemparkan garam itu ke dalam air dan berkata, "Inilah yang dikatakan TUHAN: 'Aku murnikan air ini supaya tidak lagi menyebabkan kematian atau keguguran!'"
22 And the waters were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke.
Sejak itu murnilah air itu sesuai dengan kata-kata Elisa.
23 And he went up from thence to Bethel, and as he went up by the way, there came forth little boys out of the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, bald head; go up, bald head!
Setelah itu pergilah Elisa dari Yerikho ke Betel. Di tengah jalan sekelompok anak-anak keluar dari kota dan mengolok-olokkan dia. "Hai botak, botak, pergi dari sini!" teriak mereka.
24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of Jehovah. And there came forth two she-bears out of the wood, and tore forty-two children of them.
Elisa menoleh dan memandang mereka lalu menyumpahi mereka demi nama TUHAN. Saat itu juga dua ekor beruang betina keluar dari hutan dan mencabik-cabik empat puluh dua orang anak dari antara anak-anak itu.
25 And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
Elisa meneruskan perjalanan ke Gunung Karmel, kemudian kembali ke Samaria.
