< 2 Kings 2 >

1 And when the Lord would take vp Eliiah into heauen by a whirle winde, Eliiah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
وَكَانَ عِنْدَ إِصْعَادِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِيلِيَّا فِي ٱلْعَاصِفَةِ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ، أَنَّ إِيلِيَّا وَأَلِيشَعَ ذَهَبَا مِنَ ٱلْجِلْجَالِ.١
2 Then Eliiah saide to Elisha, Tarie here, I pray thee: for the Lord hath sent me to Bethel. But Elisha said, As the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth, I will not leaue thee. So they came downe to Beth-el.
فَقَالَ إِيلِيَّا لِأَلِيشَعَ: «ٱمْكُثْ هُنَا لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ». فَقَالَ أَلِيشَعُ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَحَيَّةٌ هِيَ نَفْسُكَ، إِنِّي لَا أَتْرُكُكَ». وَنَزَلَا إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ.٢
3 And the children of the Prophets that were at Beth-el, came out to Elisha, and said vnto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take thy master from thine head this day? And he said, Yea, I knowe it: holde ye your peace.
فَخَرَجَ بَنُو ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي بَيْتِ إِيلَ إِلَى أَلِيشَعَ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَتَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ يَأْخُذُ ٱلرَّبُّ سَيِّدَكَ مِنْ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ؟» فَقَالَ: «نَعَمْ، إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ فَٱصْمُتُوا».٣
4 Againe Eliiah saide vnto him, Elisha, tarie here, I pray thee: for the Lord hath sent me to Iericho: But he said, As the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth, I will not leaue thee. So they came to Iericho.
ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ إِيلِيَّا: «يَا أَلِيشَعُ، ٱمْكُثْ هُنَا لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَى أَرِيحَا». فَقَالَ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَحَيَّةٌ هِيَ نَفْسُكَ، إِنِّي لَا أَتْرُكُكَ». وَأَتَيَا إِلَى أَرِيحَا.٤
5 And the children of the Prophets that were at Iericho, came to Elisha, and saide vnto him, Knowest thou, that the Lord will take thy master from thine head this day? And he sayde, Yea, I knowe it: holde ye your peace.
فَتَقَدَّمَ بَنُو ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي أَرِيحَا إِلَى أَلِيشَعَ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَتَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ يَأْخُذُ ٱلرَّبُّ سَيِّدَكَ مِنْ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ؟» فَقَالَ: «نَعَمْ، إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ فَٱصْمُتُوا».٥
6 Moreouer Eliiah saide vnto him, Tarie, I pray thee, here: for the Lord hath sent me to Iorden. But he saide, As the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth, I will not leaue thee. So they went both together.
ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ إِيلِيَّا: «أُمْكُثْ هُنَا لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَى ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ». فَقَالَ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَحَيَّةٌ هِيَ نَفْسُكَ، إِنِّي لَا أَتْرُكُكَ». وَٱنْطَلَقَا كِلَاهُمَا.٦
7 And fiftie men of the sonnes of the Prophets went and stoode on the other side a farre off, and they two stoode by Iorden.
فَذَهَبَ خَمْسُونَ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَوَقَفُوا قُبَالَتَهُمَا مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. وَوَقَفَ كِلَاهُمَا بِجَانِبِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ.٧
8 Then Eliiah tooke his cloke, and wrapt it together, and smote the waters, and they were deuided hither and thither, and they twaine went ouer on the dry lande.
وَأَخَذَ إِيلِيَّا رِدَاءَهُ وَلَفَّهُ وَضَرَبَ ٱلْمَاءَ، فَٱنْفَلَقَ إِلَى هُنَا وَهُنَاكَ، فَعَبَرَا كِلَاهُمَا فِي ٱلْيَبَسِ.٨
9 Nowe when they were passed ouer, Eliiah saide vnto Elisha, Aske what I shall doe for thee before I be taken from thee. And Elisha saide, I pray thee, let thy Spirit be double vpon me.
وَلَمَّا عَبَرَا قَالَ إِيلِيَّا لِأَلِيشَعَ: «ٱطْلُبْ: مَاذَا أَفْعَلُ لَكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُوخَذَ مِنْكَ؟». فَقَالَ أَلِيشَعُ: «لِيَكُنْ نَصِيبُ ٱثْنَيْنِ مِنْ رُوحِكَ عَلَيَّ».٩
10 And he saide, Thou hast asked an hard thing: yet if thou see me when I am taken from thee, thou shalt haue it so: and if not, it shall not be.
فَقَالَ: «صَعَّبْتَ ٱلسُّؤَالَ. فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَنِي أُوخَذُ مِنْكَ يَكُونُ لَكَ كَذَلِكَ، وَإِلَّا فَلَا يَكُونُ».١٠
11 And as they went walking and talking, beholde, there appeared a charet of fire, and horses of fire, and did separate them twaine. So Eliiah went vp by a whirle winde into heauen.
وَفِيمَا هُمَا يَسِيرَانِ وَيَتَكَلَّمَانِ إِذَا مَرْكَبَةٌ مِنْ نَارٍ وَخَيْلٌ مِنْ نَارٍ فَفَصَلَتْ بَيْنَهُمَا، فَصَعِدَ إِيلِيَّا فِي ٱلْعَاصِفَةِ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ.١١
12 And Elisha saw it, and he cryed, My father, my father, the charet of Israel, and the horsemen thereof: and he sawe him no more: and he tooke his owne clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
وَكَانَ أَلِيشَعُ يَرَى وَهُوَ يَصْرُخُ: «يَا أَبِي، يَا أَبِي، مَرْكَبَةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفُرْسَانَهَا». وَلَمْ يَرَهُ بَعْدُ، فَأَمْسَكَ ثِيَابَهُ وَمَزَّقَهَا قِطْعَتَيْنِ،١٢
13 He tooke vp also the cloke of Eliiah that fell from him, and returned, and stoode by the banke of Iorden.
وَرَفَعَ رِدَاءَ إِيلِيَّا ٱلَّذِي سَقَطَ عَنْهُ، وَرَجَعَ وَوَقَفَ عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ.١٣
14 After, he tooke the cloke of Eliiah, that fell from him, and smote the waters, and sayde, Where is the Lord God of Eliiah? And so he also, after he had striken the waters, so that they were deuided this way and that way, went ouer, euen Elisha.
فَأَخَذَ رِدَاءَ إِيلِيَّا ٱلَّذِي سَقَطَ عَنْهُ وَضَرَبَ ٱلْمَاءَ وَقَالَ: «أَيْنَ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِيلِيَّا؟» ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ ٱلْمَاءَ أَيْضًا فَٱنْفَلَقَ إِلَى هُنَا وَهُنَاكَ، فَعَبَرَ أَلِيشَعُ.١٤
15 And when the children of the Prophets, which were at Iericho, saw him on the other side, they sayde, The Spirite of Eliiah doeth rest on Elisha: and they came to meete him, and fell to the grounde before him,
وَلَمَّا رَآهُ بَنُو ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي أَرِيحَا قُبَالَتَهُ قَالُوا: «قَدِ ٱسْتَقَرَّتْ رُوحُ إِيلِيَّا عَلَى أَلِيشَعَ». فَجَاءُوا لِلِقَائِهِ وَسَجَدُوا لَهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.١٥
16 And said vnto him, Beholde nowe, there be with thy seruants fiftie strong men: let them go, we pray thee, and seeke thy master, if so be the Spirite of the Lord hath taken him vp, and cast him vpon some mountaine, or into some valley. But he said, Ye shall not sende.
وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «هُوَذَا مَعَ عَبِيدِكَ خَمْسُونَ رَجُلًا ذَوُو بَأْسٍ، فَدَعْهُمْ يَذْهَبُونَ وَيُفَتِّشُونَ عَلَى سَيِّدِكَ، لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ قَدْ حَمَلَهُ رُوحُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَطَرَحَهُ عَلَى أَحَدِ ٱلْجِبَالِ، أَوْ فِي أَحَدِ ٱلْأَوْدِيَةِ». فَقَالَ: «لَاتُرْسِلُوا».١٦
17 Yet they were instant vpon him, til he was ashamed: wherefore he saide, Sende. So they sent fiftie men, which sought three dayes, but founde him not.
فَأَلَحُّوا عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى خَجِلَ وَقَالَ: «أَرْسِلُوا». فَأَرْسَلُوا خَمْسِينَ رَجُلًا، فَفَتَّشُوا ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَمْ يَجِدُوهُ.١٧
18 Therefore they returned to him, (for he taryed at Iericho) and he said vnto them, Did not I say vnto you, Goe not?
وَلَمَّا رَجَعُوا إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ مَاكِثٌ فِي أَرِيحَا قَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَمَا قُلْتُ لَكُمْ لَا تَذْهَبُوا؟».١٨
19 And the men of the citie saide vnto Elisha, Beholde, we pray thee: the situation of this citie is pleasant, as thou, my lorde, seest, but the water is naught, and the ground baren.
وَقَالَ رِجَالُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لِأَلِيشَعَ: «هُوَذَا مَوْقِعُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ حَسَنٌ كَمَا يَرَى سَيِّدِي، وَأَمَّا ٱلْمِيَاهُ فَرَدِيَّةٌ وَٱلْأَرْضُ مُجْدِبَةٌ».١٩
20 Then he saide, Bring me a newe cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.
فَقَالَ: «ٱئْتُونِي بِصَحْنٍ جَدِيدٍ، وَضَعُوا فِيهِ مِلْحًا». فَأَتَوْهُ بِهِ.٢٠
21 And he went vnto the spring of the waters, and cast there the salt, and said, Thus saith the Lord, I haue healed this water: death shall no more come thereof, neither barennesse to the ground.
فَخَرَجَ إِلَى نَبْعِ ٱلْمَاءِ وَطَرَحَ فِيهِ ٱلْمِلْحَ وَقَالَ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: قَدْ أَبْرَأْتُ هَذِهِ ٱلْمِيَاهَ. لَا يَكُونُ فِيهَا أَيْضًا مَوْتٌ وَلَا جَدْبٌ».٢١
22 So the waters were healed vntill this day, according to the worde of Elisha which hee had spoken.
فَبَرِئَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، حَسَبَ قَوْلِ أَلِيشَعَ ٱلَّذِي نَطَقَ بِهِ.٢٢
23 And he went vp from thence vnto Beth-el. And as he was going vp the way, litle children came out of the citie, and mocked him, and saide vnto him, Come vp, thou balde head, come vp, thou balde head.
ثُمَّ صَعِدَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ. وَفِيمَا هُوَ صَاعِدٌ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ إِذَا بِصِبْيَانٍ صِغَارٍ خَرَجُوا مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَسَخِرُوا مِنْهُ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «ٱصْعَدْ يَا أَقْرَعُ! ٱصْعَدْ يَا أَقْرَعُ!».٢٣
24 And he turned backe, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And two beares came out of the forest, and tare in pieces two and fourtie children of them.
فَٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَى وَرَائِهِ وَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَعَنَهُمْ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَخَرَجَتْ دُبَّتَانِ مِنَ ٱلْوَعْرِ وَٱفْتَرَسَتَا مِنْهُمُ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعِينَ وَلَدًا.٢٤
25 So he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
وَذَهَبَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى جَبَلِ ٱلْكَرْمَلِ، وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ رَجَعَ إِلَى ٱلسَّامِرَةِ.٢٥
