Kings IV 2
1 And it came to pass, when the Lord was going to take Eliu with a whirlwind as it were into heaven, that Eliu and Elisaie went out of Galgala.
Ɛberɛ a Awurade pɛɛ sɛ ɔnam ahum so fa Elia kɔ ɔsoro no, na Elia ne Elisa nam Gilgal ɛkwan so.
2 And Eliu said to Elisaie, Stay here, I pray you; for God has sent me to Baethel. And Elisaie said, [As] the Lord lives and your soul lives, I will not leave you; so they came to Baethel.
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 who were in Baethel came to Elisaie, and said to him, Do you know, that the Lord this day is going to take your lord away from your head? And he said, Yes, I know [it]; be silent.
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 Eliu said to Elisaie, Stay here, I pray you; for the Lord has sent me to Jericho. And he said, [As] the Lord lives and your soul lives, I will not leave you. And 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 who were in Jericho drew near to Elisaie, and said to him, Do you know that the Lord is about to take away your master today from your head? And he said, Yes, I know [it]; hold 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 Eliu said to him, Stay here, I pray you, for the Lord has sent me to Jordan. And Elisaie said, [As] the Lord lives and your soul lives, I will not leave you: and they both 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 also], and they stood opposite afar off: and both stood on [the bank] of 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 Eliu took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and struck the water: and the water was divided on this side and on that side, and they both 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 while they were crossing over, that Eliu said to Elisaie, Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken up from you. And Elisaie said, Let there be, I pray you, a double [portion] of your spirit upon 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 Eliu said, You have asked a hard thing: if you shall see me when I am taken up from you, then shall it be so to you; and 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 were going, they went on talking; and, behold, a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and it separated between them both; and Eliu was taken up in a whirlwind as it were 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 Elisaie saw, and cried, Father, father, the chariot of Israel, and the horseman thereof! And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his garments, and tore them into two pieces.
Elisa hunuiɛ, teaam sɛ, “Mʼagya! Mʼagya! Israel nteaseɛnam ne nteaseɛnamkafoɔ!” Na wɔyeraeɛ no, Elisa suanee nʼatadeɛ mu mmienu.
13 And Elisaie took up the mantle of Eliu, which fell from off him upon Elisaie; and Elisaie returned, and stood upon the brink 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 Eliu, which fell from off him, and struck the water, and said, Where is the Lord God of Eliu? and he struck the waters, and they were divided hither and there; and Elisaie 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 the sons of the prophets who were in Jericho on the opposite side saw him, and said, The spirit of Eliu has rested upon Elisaie. And they came to meet him, and did obeisance to him to the ground.
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 are] with your servants fifty men of strength: let them go now, and seek your lord: perhaps the Spirit of the Lord has taken him up, and cast him into Jordan, or on one of the mountains, or on one of the hills. And Elisaie 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 they pressed him until he was ashamed; and he said, Send. And they sent fifty men, and sought three days, and 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 they returned to him, for he lived in Jericho: and Elisaie said, 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 Elisaie, Behold, the situation of the city [is] good, as [our] lord sees; but the waters [are] bad, 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 Elisaie said, Bring me a new pitcher, and put salt in it. And they took [one], and brought [it] to him.
Elisa kaa sɛ, “momma me nsukoradeɛ foforɔ a wɔde nkyene agu mu.” Na wɔde baeɛ.
21 And Elisaie went out to the spring of the waters, and cast salt therein, and says, Thus says the Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not be any longer death thence 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 And the waters were healed until this day, according to the word of Elisaie which he spoke.
Na ampa ara, ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, nsuo no ayɛ nsu pa sɛdeɛ Elisa kaeɛ no.
23 And he went up thence to Baethel: and as he was going up by the way there came up also little children from the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, bald-head, go up.
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 after them, and saw them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And, behold, there came out two bears out of the wood, and they tore 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 thence to mount Carmel, and returned thence to Samaria.
Elisa firii hɔ no, ɔkɔɔ bepɔ Karmel so, na ɔfirii hɔ kɔɔ Samaria.
