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.
И бысть внегда взяти Господу Илию в вихре яко на небо и идяше Илиа и Елиссей от Галгал.
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.
И рече Илиа ко Елиссею: седи убо зде, яко Господь посла мя до Вефиля и рече Елиссей: жив Господь и жива душа твоя, аще оставлю тя и приидоста в Вефиль.
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!
И приидоша сынове пророчестии, иже в Вефили, ко Елиссею и реша к нему: разумееши ли, яко взимает Господь днесь господина твоего верху главы твоея (от тебе)? И рече: и аз уразумех, молчите.
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.
И рече Илиа ко Елиссею: сяди убо зде, яко Господь посла мя во Иерихон. И рече Елиссей: жив Господь и жива душа твоя, аще оставлю тя. И приидоста во Иерихон.
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!
И приближишася сынове пророков, иже во Иерихоне, ко Елиссею и реша ему: разумееши ли, яко днесь вземлет Господь господина твоего свыше главы твоея (от тебе)? И рече: ибо и аз уразумех, молчите.
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.
И рече ему Илиа: седи зде, яко Господь посла мя до Иордана. И рече Елиссей: жив Господь и жива душа твоя, аще оставлю тебе. И поидоста оба,
7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite afar off; and they two stood by the Jordan.
и пятьдесят мужей от сынов пророческих, и сташа противу издалеча: и сии оба стаста при Иордане.
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.
И прият Илиа милоть свою, и свит ю, и удари ею в воду, и разступися вода сюду и сюду: и проидоста оба по суху.
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.
И бысть преходящема има, и рече Илиа ко Елиссееви: проси, что сотворю ти прежде неже взят буду от тебе. И рече Елиссей: да будет убо дух, иже в тебе, сугуб во мне.
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].
И рече Илиа: ожесточил еси просити: аще узриши мя вземлема от тебе, будет ти тако: аще ли не (узриши), и будет.
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.
И бысть идущема има, идяста и глаголаста: и се, колесница огненная и кони огненнии, и разделиша между обема. И взят бысть Илиа вихром яко на небо.
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.
И Елиссей зряше и вопияше: отче, отче, колесница Израилева и конница его. И не увиде его ктому: и ятся (Елиссей) за ризы своя, и растерза я в два растерзания,
13 And he took up the mantle of Elijah which fell from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan;
и взя милоть Илину Елиссей падшую верху его, и возвратися Елиссей, и ста на брезе Иорданове.
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.
И прият (Елиссей) милоть Илиину, яже паде верху его, и удари в воду, и не разступися вода. И рече: где Бог Илиин Аффо? И удари Елиссей воды (вторицею), и разступишася сюду и сюду, и прейде Елиссей по суху.
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,
И видеша его сынове пророчестии, иже во Иерихоне сопротив, и реша: почи дух Илиин на Елиссеи. И приидоша на сретение ему и поклонишася ему до земли,
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.
и реша к нему: се, ныне со отроки твоими пятьдесят мужей сынов сильных: шедше да взыщут господина твоего, еда како Дух Господень взя, и поверже его на Иордане, или на единей от гор, или на единем от холмов и рече Елиссей: не посылайте.
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.
И принудиша его, и дондеже устыдеся, и рече: послите. И послаша пятьдесят мужей, и искаша три дни, и не обретоша его,
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?
и возвратишася к нему: и той седяше во Иерихоне. И рече Елиссей к ним: не глаголах ли к вам, не идите?
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.
И реша мужие града ко Елиссею: се, жилище града благо, якоже ты, господине, видиши, но воды злы и земля неплодна.
20 And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt in it. And they brought it to him.
И рече Елиссей: принесите ми водонос нов, и всыплите в онь соль. И взяша, и принесоша к нему.
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.
И изыде Елиссей на исходища водная, и всыпа ту соль, и рече: сице глаголет Господь: изцелих воды сия, не будет от них ктому смерти и неплодства.
22 And the waters were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke.
И изцелеша воды до дне сего, по глаголу Елиссееву, егоже глагола.
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!
И взыде оттуду во Вефиль. И восходящу ему путем, и дети малы изыдоша из града, и ругахуся ему, и реша ему: гряди, плешиве, гряди.
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.
И озреся вслед их, и виде я, и проклят я именем Господним. И се, изыдоша две медведицы из дубравы и растерзаша от них четыредесять два отрочища.
25 And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
И иде оттуду в гору Кармилскую, и оттуду возвратися в Самарию.
