< 2 Kings 2 >

1 And when the Lord would take vp Eliiah into heauen by a whirle winde, Eliiah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
وَعِنْدَمَا أَزْمَعَ الرَّبُّ أَنْ يَنْقُلَ إِيلِيَّا فِي الْعَاصِفَةِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، ذَهَبَ إِيلِيَّا وَأَلِيشَعُ مِنَ الْجِلْجَالِ.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 لأَلِيشَعَ: «امْكُثْ هُنَا لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ أَوْفَدَنِي إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ». فَأَجَابَ أَلِيشَعُ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ، وَحَيَّةٌ هِيَ نَفْسُكَ إِنِّي لَا أَتْرُكُكَ». فَانْطَلَقَا مَعاً 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 الأَنْبِيَاءِ الْمُقِيمُونَ فِي بَيْتِ إِيلَ لِلِقَاءِ أَلِيشَعَ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «هَلْ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ سَيَأْخُذُ الْيَوْمَ مِنْكَ سَيِّدَكَ إِيلِيَّا؟» فَأَجَابَ: «نَعَمْ، إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ، فَاصْمُتُوا».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، امْكُثْ هُنَا لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ أَوْفَدَنِي إِلَى أَرِيحَا». فَأَجَابَهُ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ وَحَيَّةٌ هِيَ نَفْسُكَ إِنِّي لَا أَتْرُكُكَ». فَتَوَجَّهَا نَحْوَ 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.
وَعِنْدَمَا بَلَغَاهَا تَقَدَّمَ بَنُو الأَنْبِيَاءِ الْمُقِيمُونَ فِي أَرِيحَا مِنْ أَلِيشَعَ قَائِلِينَ: «أَتَعْلَمُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ سَيَأْخُذُ الْيَوْمَ مِنْكَ سَيِّدَكَ إِيلِيَّا؟» فَقَالَ: «نَعَمْ، إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ فَاصْمُتُوا».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: «امْكُثْ هُنَا لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ أَوْفَدَنِي إِلَى الأُرْدُنِّ». فَأَجَابَ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ وَحَيَّةٌ هِيَ نَفْسُكَ إِنِّي لَا أَتْرُكُكَ». فَانْطَلَقَا مَعاً.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.
وَرَافَقَهُمَا خَمْسُونَ رَجُلاً مِنْ بَنِي الأَنْبِيَاءِ إِلَى حَيْثُ كَانَا يَقِفَانِ إِلَى جُوَارِ الأُرْدُنِّ. وَتَوَقَّفُوا تُجَاهَهُمَا مِنْ بَعِيدٍ.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.
فَتَنَاوَلَ إِيلِيَّا رِدَاءَهُ وَطَوَاهُ، ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ بِهِ الْمَاءَ، فَانْفَلَقَ النَّهْرُ إِلَى شَطْرَيْنِ، فَاجْتَازَا فَوْقَ الْيَابِسَةِ.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 لأَلِيشَعَ: «اطْلُبْ مَاذَا أَصْنَعُ لَكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُؤخَذَ مِنْكَ؟» فَأَجَابَ أَلِيشَعُ: «لِيَحِلَّ عَلَيَّ ضِعْفُ مَا لَدَيْكَ مِنْ قُوَّةٍ رُوحِيَّةٍ».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 إِيلِيَّا: «لَقَدْ طَلَبْتَ أَمْراً صَعْباً، وَلَكِنْ إِنْ رَأَيْتَنِي وَأَنَا أُؤخَذُ مِنْكَ تَنَلْ سُؤْلَكَ، وَإلَّا فَلَنْ تَحْصُلَ عَلَى مَا طَلَبْتَ».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 وَيَتَجَاذَبَانِ أَطْرَافَ الْحَدِيثِ، فَصَلَتْ بَيْنَهُمَا مَرْكَبَةٌ مِنْ نَارٍ تَجُرُّهَا خُيُولٌ نَارِيَّةٌ، نَقَلَتْ إِيلِيَّا فِي الْعَاصِفَةِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ.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.
وَرَأَى أَلِيشَعُ مَا جَرَى فَأَخَذَ يَهْتِفُ: «يَا أَبِي، يَا أَبِي، يَا مَرْكَبَاتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفُرْسَانَهَا». وَغَابَ إِيلِيَّا عَنْ عَيْنَيْهِ، 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.
ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رِدَاءَ إِيلِيَّا الَّذِي سَقَطَ مِنْهُ وَتَوَجَّهَ نَحْوَ ضَفَّةِ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ،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.
وَضَرَبَ بِهِ الْمَاءَ هَاتِفاً: «أَيْنَ هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِيلِيَّا؟» ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ الْمَاءَ ثَانِيَةً، فَانْفَلَقَ النَّهْرُ إِلَى شَطْرَيْنِ مُتَقَابِلَيْنِ، فَاجْتَازَ أَلِيشَعُ نَحْوَ الضَّفَّةِ الأُخْرَى.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 شَاهَدَهُ بَنُو الأَنْبِيَاءِ الْمُقِيمُونَ فِي أَرِيحَا قَادِماً نَحْوَهُمْ قَالُوا: «إِنَّ رُوحَ إِيلِيَّا قَدِ اسْتَقَرَّتْ عَلَى أَلِيشَعَ». فَأَقْبَلُوا لِلِقَائِهِ وَانْحَنَوْا أَمَامَهُ.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: «إِنَّ بَيْنَ عَبِيدِكَ خَمْسِينَ رَجُلاً مِنْ ذَوِي الْبَأْسِ، فَدَعْهُمْ يَذْهَبُونَ لِلْبَحْثِ عَنْ سَيِّدِكَ. لَعَلَّ رُوحَ الرَّبِّ حَمَلَهُ وَطَرَحَهُ عَلَى أَحَدِ الْجِبَالِ أَوْ فِي أَحَدِ الأَوْدِيَةِ». فَأَجَابَ: «لا تُرْسِلُوا أَحَداً».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 اعْتَرَاهُ الْخَجَلُ فَأَذْعَنَ لَهُمْ، فَأَوْفَدُوا خَمْسِينَ رَجُلاً ظَلُّوا يَبْحَثُونَ عَنْهُ ثَلاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ دُونَ جَدْوَى.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?
وَعِنْدَمَا رَجَعُوا إِلَيْهِ فِي أَرِيحَا قَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَمَا قُلْتُ لَكُمْ لَا تَبْحَثُوا عَنْهُ؟»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 مَدِينَةِ أَرِيحَا لأَلِيشَعَ: «هُوَذَا الْمَدِينَةُ كَمَا تَرَى ذَاتُ مَوْقِعٍ جَيِّدٍ، أَمَّا الْمِيَاهُ فَرَدِيئَةٌ وَالأَرْضُ مُجْدِبَةٌ».١٩
20 Then he saide, Bring me a newe cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.
فَقَالَ: «أَحْضِرُوا لِي صَحْناً، وَضَعُوا فِيهِ مِلْحاً». فَأَتَوْا إِلَيْهِ بِمَا طَلَبَ.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.
فَاتَّجَهَ نَحْوَ نَبْعِ الْمَاءِ وَطَرَحَ فِيهِ الْمِلْحَ، وَقَالَ: «هَذَا مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ: لَقَدْ أَبْرَأْتُ هَذِهِ الْمِيَاهَ فَلَنْ تُسَبِّبَ الْمَوْتَ أَوِ الْجَدْبَ بَعْدَ الآنَ».٢١
22 So the waters were healed vntill this day, according to the worde of Elisha which hee had spoken.
فَبَرِئَتِ الْمِيَاهُ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، كَمَا أَنْبَأَ أَلِيشَعُ.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 ارْتَحَلَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ، وَفِيمَا هُوَ سَائِرٌ فِي طَرِيقِهِ خَرَجَ بَعْضُ الْفِتْيَانِ الصِّغَارِ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَشَرَعُوا يَسْخَرُونَ مِنْهُ قَائِلِينَ: «اصْعَدْ (فِي الْعَاصِفَةِ) 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.
فَالْتَفَتَ وَرَاءَهُ وَتَفَرَّسَ فِيهِمْ، ثُمَّ دَعَا عَلَيْهِمْ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ. فَخَرَجَتْ دُبَّتَانِ مِنَ الْغَابَةِ وَالْتَهَمَتَا مِنْهُمُ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعِينَ فَتىً.٢٤
25 So he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
وَانْطَلَقَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى جَبَلِ الْكَرْمَلِ وَمِنْهُ رَجَعَ إِلَى السَّامِرَةِ.٢٥
