< 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.
Kad nu Tas Kungs Eliju vētrā gribēja uzņemt debesīs, tad Elija ar Elišu gāja no Gilgalas.
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.
Un Elija sacīja uz Elišu: paliec jel šeitan, jo Tas Kungs mani sūtījis uz Bēteli. Bet Eliša sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvs un tava dvēsele dzīva, es tevi neatstāšu.
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.”
Un kad tie gāja uz Bēteli, tad tie praviešu bērni, kas bija Bētelē, izgāja pie Elišas un uz to sacīja: vai tu zini, ka Tas Kungs šodien tavu kungu paņems no tavas galvas? Un viņš sacīja: zinu gan, esiet tikai klusu!
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.
Un Elija uz to sacīja: Eliša, paliec jel šeitan, jo Tas Kungs mani sūtījis uz Jēriku. Bet tas sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvs un tava dvēsele dzīva, es tevi neatstāšu. Tā tie gāja uz Jēriku.
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.”
Tad tie praviešu bērni, kas bija Jērikū, piegāja pie Elišas un uz to sacīja: vai tu zini, ka Tas Kungs tavu kungu šodien paņems no tavas galvas? Un tas sacīja: zinu gan, esiet tikai klusu!
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.
Tad Elija uz to sacīja: paliec jel šeitan, jo Tas Kungs mani sūtījis pie Jardānes. Bet tas sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvs un tava dvēsele dzīva, es tevi neatstāšu. Tā tie gāja abi divi.
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.
Un piecdesmit vīri no praviešu bērniem gāja un nostājās iepretim no tālienes; un tie abi stāvēja pie Jardānes.
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.
Tad Elija ņēma savu mēteli un to satina un sita ūdenī, un tas dalījās uz abējām pusēm, ka tie abi gāja cauri sausām kājām.
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.
Kad tie nu bija cauri izgājuši, tad Elija sacīja uz Elišu: lūdz, ko man tev būs darīt, pirms es topu atņemts no tevis. Un Eliša sacīja: lai jel tavs gars divkārtīgā mērā ir uz manis.
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.”
Un viņš sacīja: grūtu lietu tu esi lūdzis; ja tu mani redzēsi, kad es no tevis tapšu atņemts, tad tas tev tā notiks, bet ja ne, tad tas nenotiks.
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.
Un šiem tā ejot un runājot, redzi, ugunīgi rati un ugunīgi zirgi nāca, kas tos abus šķīra. Tā Elija aizbrauca vētrā uz debesīm.
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.
Un Eliša to redzēja un brēca: mans tēvs, mans tēvs! Israēla rati un viņa jātnieki! Un viņš to vairs neredzēja. Un viņš sagrāba savas drēbes un tās saplēsa divos gabalos.
13 Then Elisha picked up Elijah's cloak that had fallen from him, and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan.
Un viņš pacēla Elijas mēteli, kas tam bija nokritis, un griezās atpakaļ un stāvēja Jardānes malā.
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.
Un viņš ņēma Elijas mēteli, kas tam bija nokritis, un sita to ūdeni un sacīja: kur nu Viņš, Tas Kungs, Elijas Dievs? Un viņš sita to ūdeni, un tas dalījās uz abējām pusēm, un Eliša gāja cauri.
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.
Kad nu tie praviešu bērni iepretim Jērikum viņu redzēja, tad tie sacīja: Elijas gars dus uz Elišas, un tie viņam gāja pretī un metās pie zemes viņa priekšā.
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.
Un tie uz viņu sacīja: redzi, starp taviem kalpiem ir piecdesmit spēcīgi vīri, lai tie iet un meklē tavu kungu: kad tik Tā Kunga Gars viņu nav paņēmis un nometis uz kādu kalnu vai kādā ielejā. Bet viņš sacīja: nesūtiet.
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.
Bet tie vēl vairāk lūdza, kamēr palika vai kauns, un viņš sacīja: sūtiet. Un tie sūtīja piecdesmit vīrus un to meklēja trīs dienas un neatrada.
18 When they returned to Elisha, who was staying in Jericho, he said to them, “Didn't I tell you not to bother going?”
Tad tie nāca atpakaļ pie viņa uz Jēriku, kur viņš bija palicis, un viņš uz tiem sacīja: vai es jums nesacīju: neejat?
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.”
Un tās pilsētas vīri sacīja uz Elišu: redzi jel, šās pilsētas vieta ir gan laba, kā mans kungs redz, bet ūdens ir nelāga un zeme neauglīga.
20 “Bring me a brand new bowl and put some salt in it,” he replied. So they brought it to him.
Un viņš sacīja: atnesiet man jaunu kausu un liekat sāli iekšā; un tie viņam to atnesa.
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.’”
Un viņš izgāja pie tā ūdens avota un iemeta tur to sāli iekšā un sacīja: tā saka Tas Kungs: es šo ūdeni esmu veselīgu darījis, no tejienes vairs nenāks ne nāve nedz neauglība.
22 The water there is still pure to this very day, just as Elisha said it would be.
Tā tas ūdens palika veselīgs līdz šai dienai pēc Elišas vārda, ko viņš bija runājis.
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!”
Un viņš no turienes gāja uz Bēteli, un kad viņš pa ceļu uz augšu gāja, tad mazi puikas no pilsētas nāca ārā un to mēdīja un uz to sacīja: plikgalvi, nāc augšā, plikgalvi, nāc augšā!
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.
Un viņš apgriezās, un tos ieraudzījis viņš tos nolādēja Tā Kunga Vārdā. Tad divi lāči iznāca no meža un no tiem saplosīja četrdesmit un divus bērnus.
25 Elisha carried on to Mount Carmel, and from there he went back to Samaria.
Un viņš no turienes gāja uz Karmeļa kalnu, un no turienes viņš griezās atpakaļ uz Samariju.
