2 Kings 2
1 And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
И бысть внегда взяти Господу Илию в вихре яко на небо и идяше Илиа и Елиссей от Галгал.
2 And Elijah said unto Elisha: 'Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me as far as Beth-el.' And Elisha said: 'As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee.' So they went down to Beth-el. —
И рече Илиа ко Елиссею: седи убо зде, яко Господь посла мя до Вефиля и рече Елиссей: жив Господь и жива душа твоя, аще оставлю тя и приидоста в Вефиль.
3 And the sons of the prophets that were at Beth-el came forth to Elisha, and said unto him: 'Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to-day?' And he said: 'Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.' —
И приидоша сынове пророчестии, иже в Вефили, ко Елиссею и реша к нему: разумееши ли, яко взимает Господь днесь господина твоего верху главы твоея (от тебе)? И рече: и аз уразумех, молчите.
4 And Elijah said unto him: 'Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Jericho.' And he said: 'As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee.' So they came to Jericho. —
И рече Илиа ко Елиссею: сяди убо зде, яко Господь посла мя во Иерихон. И рече Елиссей: жив Господь и жива душа твоя, аще оставлю тя. И приидоста во Иерихон.
5 And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came near to Elisha, and said unto him: 'Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to-day?' And he answered: 'Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.' —
И приближишася сынове пророков, иже во Иерихоне, ко Елиссею и реша ему: разумееши ли, яко днесь вземлет Господь господина твоего свыше главы твоея (от тебе)? И рече: ибо и аз уразумех, молчите.
6 And Elijah said unto him: 'Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to the Jordan.' And he said: 'As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee.' And they two went on.
И рече ему Илиа: седи зде, яко Господь посла мя до Иордана. И рече Елиссей: жив Господь и жива душа твоя, аще оставлю тебе. И поидоста оба,
7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood over against them afar off; and they two stood by the Jordan.
и пятьдесят мужей от сынов пророческих, и сташа противу издалеча: и сии оба стаста при Иордане.
8 And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground.
И прият Илиа милоть свою, и свит ю, и удари ею в воду, и разступися вода сюду и сюду: и проидоста оба по суху.
9 And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha: 'Ask what I shall do for thee, before I am taken from thee.' And Elisha said: 'I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.'
И бысть преходящема има, и рече Илиа ко Елиссееви: проси, что сотворю ти прежде неже взят буду от тебе. И рече Елиссей: да будет убо дух, иже в тебе, сугуб во мне.
10 And he said: 'Thou hast asked a hard thing; nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.'
И рече Илиа: ожесточил еси просити: аще узриши мя вземлема от тебе, будет ти тако: аще ли не (узриши), и будет.
11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, which parted them both assunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
И бысть идущема има, идяста и глаголаста: и се, колесница огненная и кони огненнии, и разделиша между обема. И взят бысть Илиа вихром яко на небо.
12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried: 'My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and the horsemen thereof!' And he saw him no more; and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
И Елиссей зряше и вопияше: отче, отче, колесница Израилева и конница его. И не увиде его ктому: и ятся (Елиссей) за ризы своя, и растерза я в два растерзания,
13 He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of the Jordan.
и взя милоть Илину Елиссей падшую верху его, и возвратися Елиссей, и ста на брезе Иорданове.
14 And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said: 'Where is the LORD, the God of Elijah?' and when he also had smitten the waters, they were divided hither and thither; and Elisha went over.
И прият (Елиссей) милоть Илиину, яже паде верху его, и удари в воду, и не разступися вода. И рече: где Бог Илиин Аффо? И удари Елиссей воды (вторицею), и разступишася сюду и сюду, и прейде Елиссей по суху.
15 And when the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho some way off saw him, they said: 'The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha.' And they came to meet him, and bowed down to the ground before him.
И видеша его сынове пророчестии, иже во Иерихоне сопротив, и реша: почи дух Илиин на Елиссеи. И приидоша на сретение ему и поклонишася ему до земли,
16 And they said unto him: 'Behold now, there are with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master; lest peradventure the spirit of the LORD hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley.' And he said: 'Ye shall not send.'
и реша к нему: се, ныне со отроки твоими пятьдесят мужей сынов сильных: шедше да взыщут господина твоего, еда како Дух Господень взя, и поверже его на Иордане, или на единей от гор, или на единем от холмов и рече Елиссей: не посылайте.
17 And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said: 'Send.' They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not.
И принудиша его, и дондеже устыдеся, и рече: послите. И послаша пятьдесят мужей, и искаша три дни, и не обретоша его,
18 And they came back to him, while he tarried at Jericho; and he said unto them: 'Did I not say unto you: Go not?'
и возвратишася к нему: и той седяше во Иерихоне. И рече Елиссей к ним: не глаголах ли к вам, не идите?
19 And the men of the city said unto Elisha: 'Behold, we pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth; but the water is bad, and the land miscarrieth.
И реша мужие града ко Елиссею: се, жилище града благо, якоже ты, господине, видиши, но воды злы и земля неплодна.
20 And he said: 'Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein.' And they brought it to him.
И рече Елиссей: принесите ми водонос нов, и всыплите в онь соль. И взяша, и принесоша к нему.
21 And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast salt therein, and said: 'Thus saith the LORD: I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or miscarrying.'
И изыде Елиссей на исходища водная, и всыпа ту соль, и рече: сице глаголет Господь: изцелих воды сия, не будет от них ктому смерти и неплодства.
22 So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.
И изцелеша воды до дне сего, по глаголу Елиссееву, егоже глагола.
23 And he went up from thence unto Beth-el; and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him: 'Go up, thou baldhead; go up, thou baldhead.'
И взыде оттуду во Вефиль. И восходящу ему путем, и дети малы изыдоша из града, и ругахуся ему, и реша ему: гряди, плешиве, гряди.
24 And he looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she-bears out of the wood, and tore forty and two children of them.
И озреся вслед их, и виде я, и проклят я именем Господним. И се, изыдоша две медведицы из дубравы и растерзаша от них четыредесять два отрочища.
25 And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
И иде оттуду в гору Кармилскую, и оттуду возвратися в Самарию.
