1 And it came to pass, when Yhwh would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
And it was when took up Yahweh Elijah by the whirlwind the heavens and he went Elijah and Elisha from Gilgal.
2 And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for Yhwh hath sent me to Beth–el. And Elisha said unto him, As Yhwh liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Beth–el.
And he said Elijah to Elisha remain please here for Yahweh he has sent me to Beth-el and he said Elisha [by] [the] life of Yahweh and [by] [the] life of self your if I will leave you and they went down Beth-el.
3 And the sons of the prophets that were at Beth–el came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that Yhwh will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.
And they came out [the] sons of the prophets who [were at] Beth-el to Elisha and they said to him ¿ do you know that this day Yahweh [is] about to take master your from over head your and he said also I I know be silent.
4 And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for Yhwh hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As Yhwh liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.
And he said to him Elijah O Elisha - remain please here for Yahweh he has sent me Jericho and he said [by] [the] life of Yahweh and [by] [the] life of self your if I will leave you and they went Jericho.
5 And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that Yhwh will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.
And they drew near [the] sons of the prophets who [were] at Jericho to Elisha and they said to him ¿ do you know that this day Yahweh [is] about to take master your from over head your and he said also I I know be silent.
6 And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for Yhwh hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, As Yhwh liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on.
And he said to him Elijah remain please here for Yahweh he has sent me the Jordan towards and he said [by] [the] life of Yahweh and [by] [the] life of self your if I will leave you and they went [the] two of them.
7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan.
And fifty man from [the] sons of the prophets they went and they stood from before from a distance and [the] two of them they stood at the Jordan.
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.
And he took Elijah cloak his and he folded it up and he struck the waters and they were divided hither and hither and they passed over [the] two of them on the dry ground.
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 be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
And it was when had passed over they and Elijah he said to Elisha ask what? will I do for you before I will be taken from with you and he said Elisha and may it be please a mouth of two in spirit your to me.
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.
And he said you have made difficult to ask if you will see me taken from with you may it be to you thus and if not not it will be.
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.
And it was they [were] walking continuously and speaking and there! a chariot of fire and horses of fire and they separated between [the] two of them and he went up Elijah (in the whirlwind *LAB(h)*) the heavens.
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.
And Elisha [was] seeing and he [was] crying out O father my - father my [the] chariotry of Israel and horsemen its and not he saw him again and he took hold on clothes his and he tore them into two pieces.
13 He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;
And he took up [the] cloak of Elijah which it had fallen from on him and he went back and he stood on [the] bank of the Jordan.
14 And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is Yhwh God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.
And he took [the] cloak of Elijah which it had fallen from on him and he struck the waters and he said where? [is] Yahweh [the] God of Elijah also he - and he struck the waters and they were divided hither and hither and he passed over Elisha.
15 And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
And they saw him [the] sons of the prophets who [were] at Jericho from before and they said it has rested [the] spirit of Elijah on Elisha and they came to meet him and they bowed down to him [the] ground towards.
16 And they said unto him, Behold now, there be with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master: lest peradventure the Spirit of Yhwh hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send.
And they said to him here! please there with servants your [are] fifty men sons of ability let them go please so they may search for master your lest it has carried off him [the] spirit of Yahweh and it has cast him on one of the mountains or in one of (the valleys *Q(k)*) and he said not you must send.
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.
And they urged him until was ashamed and he said send [them] and they sent out fifty man and they searched three days and not they found him.
18 And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho, ) he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not?
And they returned to him and he [was] remaining in Jericho and he said to them ¿ not did I say to you may not you go.
19 And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren.
And they said [the] people of the city to Elisha here! please [the] location of the city [is] good just as lord my [is] seeing and the waters [are] bad and the land [is] causing abortions.
20 And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.
And he said fetch for me a jar new and put there salt and they took [it] to him.
21 And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith Yhwh, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land.
And he went out to [the] outlet of the waters and he threw there salt and he said thus he says Yahweh I have healed the waters these not it will be from there again death and abortion.
22 So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake.
And they have been healed the waters until the day this according to [the] word of Elisha which he spoke.
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 bald head; go up, thou bald head.
And he went up from there Beth-el and he - [was] going up on the way and lads young they came out from the city and they derided him and they said to him go up O bald [man] go up O bald [man].
24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of Yhwh. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.
And he turned behind him and he saw them and he cursed them in [the] name of Yahweh and they came out two [female] bears from the forest and they tore in pieces of them forty and two boys.
25 And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
And he went from there to [the] mountain of Carmel and from there he returned Samaria.
