2 Kings 2
1 Just before the Lord took Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were walking together on their way from Gilgal.
Evo što se dogodilo kad je Jahve uznio Iliju na nebo u vihoru: Ilija i Elizej pošli iz Gilgala.
2 Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the Lord has sent me to Bethel.” But Elisha replied, “As the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went to Bethel.
I reče Ilija Elizeju: “Ostani ovdje jer me Jahve šalje do Betela.” Elizej odgovori: “Života mi Jahvina i tvoga: ja te neću ostaviti!” I siđoše do Betela.
3 The sons of the prophets who lived in Bethel came to Elisha and told him, “You do know that the Lord is going to take your master away from you today, don't you?” “Yes, I know,” he replied. “Don't talk about it.”
A proročki sinovi koji su boravili u Betelu iziđoše Elizeju u susret i rekoše mu: “Znaš li da će danas Jahve uzeti tvoga gospodara iznad tvoje glave?” On reče: “I ja to znam; tiho!”
4 Then Elijah said to him, “Please stay here, Elisha, for the Lord has sent me to Jericho.” He replied, “As the Lord lives, and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went to Jericho.
Ilija mu reče: “Elizeju! Ostani ipak ovdje jer me Jahve šalje do Jerihona.” Ali on odgovori: “Života mi Jahvina i tvoga: ja te neću ostaviti!” I uđoše u Jerihon.
5 The sons of the prophets who lived in Jericho came to Elisha and told him, “You do know that the Lord is going to take your master away from you today, don't you?” “Yes, I know,” he replied. “Don't talk about it.”
Proročki sinovi koji su živjeli u Jerihonu priđoše Elizeju i rekoše mu: “Znaš li da će danas Jahve uzeti tvoga gospodara iznad tvoje glave?” On reče: “I ja to znam; tiho!”
6 Then Elijah said to him, “Please stay here, Elisha, for the Lord has sent me to the Jordan.” He replied, “As the Lord lives, and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they travelled on together.
Ilija mu reče: “Ostani ipak ovdje jer me Jahve šalje do Jordana.” Ali on odgovori: “Života mi Jahvina i tvoga: ja te neću ostaviti!” I tako pođoše obojica.
7 Then a group of fifty of the sons of the prophets went and stood facing Elijah and Elisha at a distance as the two of them stood by the Jordan.
I pedeset proročkih sinova pođe i zaustavi se podalje, dok su se njih dvojica zadržala na obali Jordana.
8 Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up, and hit the water. It divided to the one side and to the other and both of them crossed over on dry ground.
Tada Ilija uze svoj ogrtač, smota ga i udari njime po vodi, a voda se razdijeli na dvije strane. I obojica prijeđoše po suhu.
9 When they arrived on the other side, Elijah asked Elisha, “What can I do for you before I'm taken from you?” “Please let me have a double amount of your spirit,” Elisha replied.
A kad prijeđoše, Ilija će Elizeju: “Traži što da ti još učinim prije nego što budem uznesen ispred tebe!” A Elizej odgovori: “Neka mi u dio padne obilje tvoga duha!”
10 “What you have asked for is hard,” Elijah responded. “But if you see me when I am taken from you, you will have it, otherwise not.”
Ilija odgovori: “Mnogo tražiš: ako me budeš vidio kad budem uznesen ispred tebe, bit će ti tako; ako pak ne budeš vidio, neće ti biti.”
11 As they were walking along, talking, a chariot of fire and horses of fire came between them, and Elijah was taken up in the whirlwind to heaven.
I dok su tako išli i razgovarali, gle: ognjena kola i ognjeni konji stadoše među njih i Ilija u vihoru uziđe na nebo.
12 Elisha saw what happened and cried out, “My father! My father! Look! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!” Then Elisha couldn't see him anymore. He took his clothes and ripped them to pieces.
Elizej je gledao i vikao: “Oče moj, oče moj! Kola Izraelova i konjanici njegovi!” I više ga nije vidio. Uze tada svoje haljine i razdera ih nadvoje.
13 Then Elisha picked up Elijah's cloak that had fallen from him, and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan.
I podiže Ilijin plašt, koji bijaše pao s njega, te se vrati i zaustavi se na obali Jordana.
14 He took Elijah's cloak that had fallen from him, hit the water, and cried out, “Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” When he hit the water, it divided to the one side and to the other and Elisha crossed over.
Uze onda Ilijin plašt i udari po vodi govoreći: “Gdje je Jahve, Bog Ilijin?” I kad udari po vodi, ona se razdijeli na dvije strane i Elizej prijeđe.
15 The sons of the prophets who lived in Jericho saw him from the opposite side and shouted out, “Elijah's spirit now rests upon Elisha!” They went over to meet him, and bowed to the ground before him.
Proročki su sinovi to sa strane vidjeli pa rekoše: “Duh je Ilijin počinuo na Elizeju!” I krenuše mu u susret, baciše se pred njim na zemlju
16 “Look,” they said to Elisha, “we your servants have fifty good men here. Please allow them to go and search for your master. Maybe the Spirit of the Lord has taken him and put him down on a mountain or in a valley somewhere.” “Don't bother sending them,” Elisha replied.
i rekoše mu: “Evo ovdje s tvojim slugama pedeset junaka. Dopusti im da idu tražiti tvoga gospodara; možda ga je Duh Jahvin uzdigao i bacio na koju goru ili u kakvu dolinu.” On im odgovori: “Ne šaljite nikoga.”
17 But they went on trying to persuade him until he was too embarrassed to say no. “Go ahead and send them,” he told them. So they sent fifty men, who searched for Elijah for three days but couldn't find him.
Ali kako su oni svejednako navaljivali, reče im: “Pošaljite!” I poslaše pedesetoricu; tražili su ga tri dana, ali ga nisu našli.
18 When they returned to Elisha, who was staying in Jericho, he said to them, “Didn't I tell you not to bother going?”
Vratiše se Elizeju, koji je ostao u Jerihonu, i on im reče: “Nisam li vam rekao: 'Nemojte ići!'”
19 The townspeople said to Elisha, “Look, sir, while our town has a good location as you can see, the water is bad and the soil is poor.”
Ljudi iz grada rekoše Elizeju: “Lijepo je u gradu, kako to može vidjeti i naš gospodar, ali je voda loša i zemlja neplodna.”
20 “Bring me a brand new bowl and put some salt in it,” he replied. So they brought it to him.
On reče: “Donesite mi novu zdjelu i metnite soli u nju!” I oni mu je donesoše.
21 Then Elisha went to the spring, threw the salt into it, and said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘I have purified this water. It won't cause death or miscarriages anymore.’”
On tada ode na izvor, baci u nj soli i reče: “Ovako govori Jahve: 'Ozdravljam ovu vodu. Neće od nje više biti ni smrti ni neplodnosti.'”
22 The water there is still pure to this very day, just as Elisha said it would be.
I voda postade zdrava i takva je do današnjeg dana, po riječi koju je izrekao Elizej.
23 Elisha went on from there to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, a group of youths came from the town. They made fun of him, calling out, “Go on up, baldy! Go on up, baldy!”
Odatle je uzašao u Betel. Dok je išao putem, dječaci bijahu izišli iz grada i rugahu mu se govoreći: “Hodi, ćelo! Hodi, ćelo!”
24 Turning around, he looked at them and called down a curse on them in the Lord's name. Suddenly two female bears came out of the forest and mauled forty-two of them.
On se obazre, pogleda ih i prokle ih u ime Jahvino. I odmah iziđoše dva medvjeda iz šume i rastrgaše četrdeset i dvoje djece.
25 Elisha carried on to Mount Carmel, and from there he went back to Samaria.
Odatle ode on na goru Karmel, a odande se vrati u Samariju.
