2 Kings 2
1 And when the Lord would take vp Eliiah into heauen by a whirle winde, Eliiah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
Awo Mukama bwe yali ng’anaatera okutwala Eriya mu ggulu mu mbuyaga ey’amaanyi, nga Eriya ne Erisa bava e Girugaali,
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.
Eriya n’agamba Erisa nti, “Sigala wano, ŋŋende e BeseriMukama gy’antumye.” Naye Erisa n’amuddamu nti, “Mazima nga Mukama bw’ali omulamu, era nga nawe bw’oli omulamu, siireme kugenda naawe.” Awo ne baserengeta bonna e Beseri.
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.
Ekibiina ekya bannabbi abaali e Beseri ne bagenda eri Erisa ne bamugamba nti, “Okimanyi nga Mukama anaatwala mukama wo olwa leero?” Erisa n’abaddamu nti, “Nkimanyi, naye temukyogerako.”
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.
Eriya n’addamu omulundi ogwokubiri n’agamba Erisa nti, “Sigala wano, ŋŋende e Yeriko Mukama gy’antumye.” Naye Erisa n’amuddamu nti, “Mazima nga Mukama bw’ali omulamu, era nga nawe bw’oli omulamu, siireme kugenda naawe.” Awo ne bagenda bonna e Yeriko.
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.
Awo ekibiina ekya bannabbi abaali e Yeriko ne batuukirira Erisa ne bamugamba nti, “Okimanyi nga Mukama anaatwala mukama wo olwa leero?” Erisa n’abaddamu nti, “Weewaawo nkimanyi, naye temukyogerako.”
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.
Eriya n’addamu nate n’amugamba nti, “Sigala wano, nserengete ku Yoludaani Mukama gy’antumye.” Naye Erisa n’amuddamu nti, “Mazima nga Mukama bw’ali omulamu, era nga nawe bw’oli omulamu, siireme kugenda naawe.” Awo ne batambula bombi.
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.
Ne waba ekibiina kya bannabbi amakumi ataano abaali bayimiridde akabanga okuva Eriya ne Erisa we baali ku lubalama lw’omugga Yoludaani.
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.
Awo Eriya n’addira omunagiro gwe n’aguzinga wamu n’akuba amazzi ne gaawulibwamu, agamu ne gadda ku luuyi olwa ddyo n’amalala ku luuyi olwa kkono, bombi ne bayita ku lukalu.
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.
Awo bwe baamala okusomoka, Eriya n’abuuza Erisa nti, “Kiki ky’oyagala nkukolere nga sinnaba kukuggyibwako?” Erisa n’amuddamu nti, “Nkusaba, nsikire emigabo ebiri egy’Omwoyo akuliko.”
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.
N’amugamba nti, “Ky’osabye kigambo kizibu, naye bw’onondaba nga ntwalibwa, kale kinaaba nga bw’osabye, naye bw’otondabe tekiibe bwe kityo.”
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.
Awo bwe baali batambula nga bwe banyumya bokka na bokka, ne walabika eggaali ey’omuliro n’embalaasi ez’omuliro ne zibaawula, era mu kiseera kye kimu Eriya n’atwalibwa mu ggulu mu mbuyaga ey’amaanyi.
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.
Awo Erisa bwe yalaba ekyo, n’ayogerera waggulu nti, “Kitange, Kitange, amagaali n’abeebagala embalaasi aba Isirayiri!” Erisa n’ataddamu kumulaba nate. N’addira engoye ze yali ayambadde, n’aziyuzaayuza.
13 He tooke vp also the cloke of Eliiah that fell from him, and returned, and stoode by the banke of Iorden.
Waaliwo omunagiro ogwali gusuulibbwa Eriya ng’atwalibwa mu ggulu, era ogwo Erisa gwe yalonda n’addayo ku mugga Yoludaani n’ayimirira ku lubalama lw’omugga.
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.
N’addira omunagiro gwe yali alonze n’aguzinga n’akuba amazzi n’ayogera nti, “Kaakano Mukama, Katonda wa Eriya ali luuyi wa?” Bwe yakuba amazzi ne geeyawulamu, agamu ne gadda ku luuyi olwa ddyo n’amalala ku luuyi olwa kkono, n’asomoka.
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,
Awo ekibiina ekya bannabbi abaali mu Yeriko ne bayogera nti, “Omwoyo wa Eriya ali ku Erisa.” Ne bagenda okumusisinkana ne bamuvuunamira.
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.
Ne bamugamba nti, “Laba, ffe abaddu bo tulina abasajja abazira amakumi ataano. Bagende banoonye mukama wo, osanga Omwoyo wa Mukama amututte n’amuteeka ku bumu ku busozi oba mu kiwonvu.” Erisa n’abaddamu nti, “Temutawaana, era temubatuma.”
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.
Naye bwe baamuwaliriza, n’atendewalirwa, n’abagamba nti, “Kale, mubatume.” Awo ne batuma abasajja amakumi ataano, ne banoonya okumala ennaku ssatu naye ne batamulaba.
18 Therefore they returned to him, (for he taryed at Iericho) and he said vnto them, Did not I say vnto you, Goe not?
Bwe bakomawo gy’ali mu Yeriko, n’abagamba nti, “Saabalabudde obutagenda?”
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.
Awo abasajja ab’omu kibuga ne bagenda eri Erisa ne bamugamba nti, “Mukama waffe, ekibuga kino kiri mu kifo kirungi, nga nawe bw’olaba, naye amazzi gaamu mabi, era n’ensi si njimu.”
20 Then he saide, Bring me a newe cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.
N’abagamba nti, “Mundeetere ebbakuli empya nga mutaddemu omunnyo.” Ne bagimuleetera.
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.
N’aserengeta ku nsulo ey’amazzi, n’ayiwamu omunnyo, n’ayogera nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Nnoongosezza amazzi gano era tegakyaddamu kuleeta kufa wadde okufuula ensi obutaba njimu.’”
22 So the waters were healed vntill this day, according to the worde of Elisha which hee had spoken.
Amazzi ne galongooka, ng’ekigambo kya Mukama kye yayogerera mu Erisa bwe kyali, n’okutuusa ku lunaku lwa leero.
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.
Erisa bwe yava eyo n’akwata ekkubo erigenda e Beseri. Naye ng’ali mu kkubo, n’asisinkana abavubuka ab’omu kibuga ekyo ne bamusekerera nga bwe boogera nti, “Mulabe ow’ekiwalaata! Mulabe ow’ekiwalaata!”
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.
N’akyuka n’abatunuulira, n’abakolimira mu linnya lya Mukama. Awo ebisolo ebinene bibiri eby’ekika eky’eddubu ne biva mu kibira ne bitaagulataagula abavubuka amakumi ana mu babiri ku bo.
25 So he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
Ne yeeyongerayo n’alaga ku Lusozi Kalumeeri, oluvannyuma n’addayo e Samaliya.
