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.
Pripetilo se je, ko je Gospod hotel Elija z vrtinčastim vetrom vzeti gor v nebo, da je Elija z Elizejem odšel iz Gilgála.
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.
Elija je rekel Elizeju: »Ostani tukaj, prosim te, kajti Gospod me je poslal v Betel.« Elizej pa mu je rekel: » Kakor Gospod živi in kakor živi tvoja duša, te ne bom zapustil.« Tako sta odšla dol do Betela.
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!
Sinovi prerokov, ki so bili pri Betelu, so prišli naprej k Elizeju in mu rekli: »Ali veš, da bo Gospod danes odvzel tvojega gospodarja iznad tvoje glave?« Ta je rekel: »Da, vem to; molčite.«
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.
Elija mu je rekel: »Elizej, ostani tukaj, prosim te, kajti Gospod me je poslal v Jeriho.« Ta pa je rekel: » Kakor Gospod živi in kakor živi tvoja duša, te ne bom zapustil.« Tako sta prišla do Jerihe.
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!
Sinovi prerokov, ki so bili pri Jerihi, so prišli k Elizeju in mu rekli: »Ali veš, da bo Gospod danes odvzel tvojega gospodarja iznad tvoje glave?« Ta pa je odgovoril: »Da, vem to; molčite.«
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.
Elija mu je rekel: »Ostani, prosim te, tukaj, kajti Gospod me je poslal k Jordanu.« Ta pa je rekel: » Kakor Gospod živi in kakor živi tvoja duša, te ne bom zapustil.« In oba sta šla naprej.
7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite afar off; and they two stood by the Jordan.
Petdeset mož izmed sinov prerokov je šlo in stali so, da gledajo od daleč, onadva pa sta stala ob Jordanu.
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.
Elija je vzel svoje ogrinjalo, ga zvil skupaj, udaril vode in razdelile so se sèm ter tja, tako da sta oba šla preko po suhih tleh.
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.
Pripetilo se je, ko sta šla čez, da je Elija rekel Elizeju: »Prosi, kaj naj storim zate, preden bom vzet od tebe.« Elizej je rekel: »Prosim te, naj bo nad menoj dvojen delež tvojega duha.«
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].
Rekel je: »Prosil si težko stvar. Vendar če me boš videl, ko bom vzet od tebe, se ti bo zgodilo, toda če ne, ne bo tako.«
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.
Pripetilo se je, ko sta še vedno šla naprej in se pogovarjala, da se je, glej, tam prikazal ognjen bojni voz in ognjeni konji in ju ločili narazen in Elija se je z vrtinčastim vetrom dvignil v nebo.
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.
Elizej je to videl in klical: »Moj oče, moj oče, Izraelov bojni voz in njegovi konjeniki.« In nič več ga ni videl. Zgrabil je svoja lastna oblačila in jih pretrgal na dva kosa.
13 And he took up the mantle of Elijah which fell from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan;
Pobral je tudi Elijevo ogrinjalo, ki je padlo iz njega, odšel nazaj in obstal pri bregu Jordana.
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.
Vzel je Elijevo ogrinjalo, ki je padlo iz njega, udaril vode in rekel: »Kje je Gospod, Elijev Bog?« Ko je tudi on udaril vode, so se razdelile sèm ter tja in Elizej je šel preko.
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,
Ko so ga sinovi prerokov, ki so opazovali pri Jerihi, zagledali, so rekli: »Elijev duh počiva na Elizeju.« Prišli so, da ga srečajo in se do tal priklonili pred njim.
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.
Rekli so mu: »Glej torej, s tvojimi služabniki bo petdeset močnih mož. Naj odidejo, prosimo te in poiščejo tvojega gospodarja, da ga ni morda gor vzel Gospodov Duh in ga vrgel na kako goro ali v kako dolino.« Rekel je: »Ne pošiljajte.«
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.
Ko so mu prigovarjali, dokler ni bil osramočen, je rekel: »Pošljite.« Zato so poslali petdeset mož in iskali tri dni, toda niso ga našli.
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?
Ko so ponovno prišli k njemu (kajti mudil se je pri Jerihi), jim je rekel: »Ali vam nisem rekel: ›Ne pojdite?‹«
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.
Ljudje iz mesta so Elizeju rekli: »Glej, prosim te, lega tega mesta je prijetna, kakor vidi moj gospod, toda voda je slaba in tla jalova.«
20 And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt in it. And they brought it to him.
Rekel je: »Prinesite mi nov vrč in vanj dajte sol.« In prinesli so ga k njemu.
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.
Šel je naprej, k izviru vodá in vanj vrgel sol ter rekel: »Tako govori Gospod: ›Ozdravil sem te vode, od tod ne bo nič več smrti ali jalove dežele.‹«
22 And the waters were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke.
Tako so bile vode ozdravljene do tega dne, glede na Elizejevo besedo, ki jo je govoril.
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!
Od tam je odšel gor k Betelu in ko je šel gor po poti, so prišli iz mesta majhni otroci, ga zasmehovali in mu rekli: »Pojdi gor, plešec; pojdi gor, plešec.«
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.
Ta se je obrnil nazaj, pogledal nanje in jih preklel v Gospodovem imenu. In iz gozda sta prišli dve medvedki ter izmed njih raztrgali dvainštirideset otrok.
25 And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
Od tam je odšel na goro Karmel in od tam se je vrnil v Samarijo.
