2 Kings 2
1 And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
Ɛberɛ a Awurade pɛɛ sɛ ɔnam ahum so fa Elia kɔ ɔsoro no, na Elia ne Elisa nam Gilgal ɛkwan so.
2 And Elijah said to Elisha, Tarry here, I pray you; for the LORD has sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said to him, As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. So they went down to Bethel.
Na Elia ka kyerɛɛ Elisa sɛ, “Tena ha na Awurade aka akyerɛ me sɛ, menkɔ Bet-El.” Na Elisa buaa sɛ, “Mmerɛ dodoɔ a Awurade te ase, na wo nso wote ase no, merennya wo da.” Enti, wɔnante kɔɔ Bet-El.
3 And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said to him, Know you that the LORD will take away your master from your head to day? And he said, Yes, I know it; hold you your peace.
Adiyifoɔ kuo a wɔfiri Bet-El no baa Elisa nkyɛn bɛbisaa no sɛ, “Na wonim sɛ Awurade rebɛfa wo wura afiri wo nkyɛn ɛnnɛ?” Elisa buaa sɛ, “Aane, menim saa. Nanso, monnka nkyerɛ obiara.”
4 And Elijah said to him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray you; for the LORD has sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. So they came to Jericho.
Na Elia ka kyerɛɛ Elisa sɛ, “Tena ha, na Awurade aka akyerɛ me sɛ, menkɔ Yeriko.” Nanso, Elisa buaa bio sɛ, “Mmerɛ dodoɔ a Awurade te ase, na wo nso wote ase yi, merennya wo da.” Enti, wɔnante kɔɔ Yeriko.
5 And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said to him, Know you that the LORD will take away your master from your head to day? And he answered, Yes, I know it; hold you your peace.
Na adiyifoɔ kuo a wɔfiri Yeriko baa Elisa nkyɛn bɛbisaa no sɛ, “Na wonim sɛ Awurade rebɛfa wo wura afiri wo nkyɛn ɛnnɛ anaa?” Ɔbuaa bio sɛ, “Ɛyɛ nokorɛ turodoo, menim. Nanso, monnka nkyerɛ obiara.”
6 And Elijah said to him, Tarry, I pray you, here; for the LORD has sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. And they two went on.
Na Elia ka kyerɛɛ Elisa sɛ, “Tena ha, na Awurade aka akyerɛ me sɛ, menkɔ Asubɔnten Yordan ho.” Nanso, Elisa buaa bio sɛ, “Mmerɛ dodoɔ a Awurade te ase, na wo nso wote ase yi, merennya wo.” Enti wɔtoaa so kɔeɛ.
7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan.
Mmarima aduonum firi adiyifoɔ kuo no mu nso kɔeɛ, kɔgyinaa akyirikyiri baabi, hwɛɛ sɛ Elia ne Elisa gyina Asubɔnten Yordan ho hɔ.
8 And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided here and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground.
Na Elia bobɔɔ nʼatadeɛ, de bɔɔ nsuo no ani. Nsuo no mu kyɛɛ mmienu, ma wɔfaa asase kesee so twareeɛ.
9 And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha, Ask what I shall do for you, before I be taken away from you. And Elisha said, I pray you, let a double portion of your spirit be on me.
Wɔbaa asuo no fa no, Elia bisaa Elisa sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na menyɛ mma wo ansa na wɔahwim me akɔ?” Na Elisa buaa sɛ, “Mesrɛ wo, ma mennya wo honhom tumi no mmɔho.”
10 And he said, You have asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so to you; but if not, it shall not be so.
Elia kaa sɛ, “Woabisa adeɛ a ne yɛ yɛ den. Na sɛ wohunu sɛ wɔrefa me afiri wo nkyɛn a, wo nsa bɛka wʼabisadeɛ no. Na sɛ amma saa deɛ a, wo nsa renka.”
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, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
Wɔnam na wɔredi nkɔmmɔ no, prɛko pɛ, ogya teaseɛnam baeɛ a ogya apɔnkɔ retwe. Ɛfaa wɔn ntam ma wɔn ntam teteeɛ, na ahum bi faa Elia de no kɔɔ ɔsoro.
12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot 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.
Elisa hunuiɛ, teaam sɛ, “Mʼagya! Mʼagya! Israel nteaseɛnam ne nteaseɛnamkafoɔ!” Na wɔyeraeɛ no, Elisa suanee nʼatadeɛ mu mmienu.
13 He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;
Na Elisa faa Elia atadeɛ ngugusoɔ a ɛfirii ne ho guiɛ no, na ɔsane kɔɔ Asubɔnten Yordan konkɔn no so.
14 And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted here and thither: and Elisha went over.
Ɔde atadeɛ ngugusoɔ no bɔɔ nsuo no ani teaam sɛ, “Awurade, Elia Onyankopɔn wɔ he?” Ɛhɔ ara nsuo no mu paee mmienu maa Elisa faa mu.
15 And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah does rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
Ɛberɛ a adiyifoɔ kuo a wɔwɔ Yeriko hunuu asɛm a asie no, wɔteaam sɛ, “Elisa abɛdi Elia adeɛ!” Na wɔkɔhyiaa no, kotoo no.
16 And they said to him, Behold now, there be with your servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray you, and seek your master: lest peradventure the Spirit of the LORD has taken him up, and cast him on some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, You shall not send.
Wɔkaa sɛ, “Owura, ka biribi na yɛn mu ahoɔdenfoɔ aduonum bɛkyini ɛserɛ no so, ahwehwɛ wo wura. Ebia na Awurade honhom agyaa no asi bepɔ bi so anaa bɔnhwa bi mu.” Elisa kaa sɛ, “Dabi, monnsoma wɔn.”
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.
Nanso, wɔkɔɔ so haa no ara, kɔsii sɛ, ɔnhunu deɛ ɔnyɛ ne ho, enti akyire no ɔkaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, monsoma wɔn.” Enti, mmarima aduonum, de nnansa kyinkyini, hwehwɛeɛ, nanso wɔanhunu Elia.
18 And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho, ) he said to them, Did I not say to you, Go not?
Ɛberɛ a wɔsane wɔn akyi no, na Elisa da so wɔ Yeriko. Ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Manka ankyerɛ mo sɛ monnkɔ?”
19 And the men of the city said to Elisha, Behold, I pray you, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees: but the water is naught, and the ground barren.
Afei, Yeriko mpanimfoɔ kɔsraa Elisa. Wɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɔdɛɛfoɔ, yɛwɔ dadwene bi. Saa kuro yi daberɛ ne nneɛma a atwa ho ahyia yɛ fɛ, sɛdeɛ wohunu no. Nanso, nsuo no nyɛ, na asase no nso mma nnɔbaeɛ.”
20 And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.
Elisa kaa sɛ, “momma me nsukoradeɛ foforɔ a wɔde nkyene agu mu.” Na wɔde baeɛ.
21 And he went forth to the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus says the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from there any more death or barren land.
Afei, ɔkɔɔ nsuo no a kurom hɔfoɔ sa nom no mu, kɔtoo nkyene no guu mu. Na ɔkaa sɛ, “Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: Mayɛ nsuo yi yie. Ɛremma owuo, na asase no bɛma ne nnɔbaeɛ.”
22 So the waters were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke.
Na ampa ara, ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, nsuo no ayɛ nsu pa sɛdeɛ Elisa kaeɛ no.
23 And he went up from there to Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, you bald head; go up, you bald head.
Elisa firii Yeriko kɔɔ Bet-El. Ɔrekɔ no, mmarimaa bi a wɔfiri kuro no mu dii ne ho fɛ, seree no sɛ, “Tipa, foro kɔ ɛ! Tipa, foro kɔ ɛ!”
24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.
Elisa danee ne ho hwɛɛ wɔn na ɔde Awurade din domee wɔn. Na sisire mmienu pue firii wiram, bɛkunkum wɔn mu aduanan mmienu.
25 And he went from there to mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
Elisa firii hɔ no, ɔkɔɔ bepɔ Karmel so, na ɔfirii hɔ kɔɔ Samaria.
