2 Kings 2
1 And it comes to pass, at YHWH’s taking up Elijah to the heavens in a whirlwind, that Elijah goes, and Elisha, from Gilgal,
Ary nony efa hampakarin’ i Jehovah ho any an-danitra amin’ ny tafio-drivotra Elia, dia niara-nandeha avy tany Gilgala izy sy Elisa.
2 and Elijah says to Elisha, “Please abide here, for YHWH has sent me to Beth-El”; and Elisha says, “YHWH lives, and your soul lives, if I leave you”; and they go down to Beth-El.
Ary hoy Elia tamin’ i Elisa: Masìna ianao, mijanòna eto; fa Jehovah efa naniraka ahy hatrany Betela. Fa hoy Elisa: Raha velona koa Jehovah, ary raha velona koa ny ainao, tsy handao anao mihitsy aho. Ka dia nidina nankany Betela izy roa lahy.
3 And sons of the prophets who [are] in Beth-El come out to Elisha, and say to him, “Have you known that today YHWH is taking your lord from your head?” And he says, “I also have known—keep silent.”
Ary nivoaka nankany amin’ i Elisa ireo zanaky ny mpaminany izay tao Betela ka nanao taminy hoe: Fantatrao va fa anio no hangalan’ i Jehovah ny tomponao hiala ho any ambonin’ ny lohanao? Dia hoy izy: Eny, fantatro ihany koa izany, fa mangìna ianareo.
4 And Elijah says to him, “Elisha, please abide here, for YHWH has sent me to Jericho”; and he says, “YHWH lives, and your soul lives, if I leave you”; and they come to Jericho.
Ary hoy Elia taminy: Masìna ianao, ry Elisa, mijanòna eto; fa Jehovah efa naniraka ahy ho any Jeriko. Fa hoy Elisa: Raha velona koa Jehovah, ary raha velona koa ny ainao, tsy handao anao mihitsy aho. Ka dia tonga tany Jeriko izy roa lahy.
5 And sons of the prophets who [are] in Jericho come near to Elisha, and say to him, “Have you known that today YHWH is taking your lord from your head?” And he says, “I also have known—keep silent.”
Ary ireo zanaky ny mpaminany izay tao Jeriko nanatona an’ i Elisa ka nanao taminy hoe: Fantatrao va fa anio no hangalan’ i Jehovah ny tomponao hiala ho any ambonin’ ny lohanao? Ary izy namaly hoe: Eny, fantatro ihany koa izany, fa mangìna ianareo.
6 And Elijah says to him, “Please abide here, for YHWH has sent me to the Jordan”; and he says, “YHWH lives, and your soul lives, if I leave you”; and both of them go on—
Ary hoy Elia taminy: Masìna ianao, mijanòna eto; fa Jehovah efa naniraka ahy ho any Jordana. Fa hoy Elisa: Raha velona koa Jehovah, ary raha velona koa ny ainao, tsy handao anao mihitsy aho. Ary dia lasa nandeha izy roa lahy.
7 and fifty men of the sons of the prophets have gone on, and stand opposite [them] far off—and both of them have stood by the Jordan.
Ary nisy dimam-polo lahy, zanaky ny mpaminany, nandeha, dia nijanona tandrifiny teny lavitra eny; fa izy roa lahy kosa nitsangana teo amoron’ i Jordana.
8 And Elijah takes his robe, and wraps [it] together, and strikes the waters, and they are halved, here and there, and both of them pass over on dry land.
Ary Elia nandray ny kapôtiny ka namalona azy, dia nikapoka ny rano, ary nisaraka roa ny rano, ka dia nita tamin’ ny tany maina izy roa lahy.
9 And it comes to pass, at their passing over, that Elijah has said to Elisha, “Ask what I do for you before I am taken from you.” And Elisha says, “Indeed, please let there be a double portion of your spirit to me”;
Ary nony efa tafita izy roa lahy, dia hoy Elia tamin’ i Elisa: Angataho izay hataoko ho anao, dieny tsy mbola misaraka aminao aho. Ary hoy Elisa: Masìna ianao, aoka ny anjaran-droa amin’ ny fanahinao mba ho ahy.
10 and he says, “You have asked a hard thing; if you see me taken from you, it is to you so; and if not, it is not.”
Fa hoy izy: Sarotra ny nangatahinao; kanefa raha mahita ahy misaraka aminao ianao, dia ho anao ihany izany; fa raha tsy izany kosa, dia tsy ho anao izany.
11 And it comes to pass, they are going, going on and speaking, and behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire [appear], and they separate between them both, and Elijah goes up to the heavens in a whirlwind.
Ary raha mbola nandeha sy niresaka izy roa lahy, dia, indro, nisy kalesy afo sy soavaly afo nampisaraka azy roa lahy; ary Elia niakatra tamin’ ny tafio-drivotra ho any an-danitra.
12 And Elisha is seeing, and he is crying, “My father! My father! The chariot of Israel and its horsemen!” And he has not seen him again; and he takes hold on his garments and tears them into two pieces.
Ary raha nahita izany Elisa, dia niantso hoe: Ry ikaky ô, ry ikaky ô, eny kalesin’ ny Isiraely sy ny mpitaingin-tsoavaliny! Dia tsy nahita azy intsony izy. Ary noraisiny ny fitafiany ka notriariny roa.
13 And he takes up the robe of Elijah that fell from off him, and turns back and stands on the edge of the Jordan,
Ary nalainy ny kapôtin’ i Elia izay latsaka avy teny aminy, dia niverina izy ka nitsangana teo amoron’ i Jordana.
14 and he takes the robe of Elijah that fell from off him, and strikes the waters, and says, “Where [is] YHWH, God of Elijah—even He?” And he strikes the waters, and they are halved, here and there, and Elisha passes over.
Dia noraisin’ i Elisa ny kapôtin’ i Elia, ilay latsaka avy teny aminy, ka nakapony ny rano, dia hoy izy: Aiza Jehovah, Andriamanitr’ i Elia? Eny, Elisa koa nikapoka ny rano, dia nisaraka roa izany, ka dia nita izy.
15 And they see him—the sons of the prophets who [are] in Jericho—from opposite [them], and they say, “The spirit of Elijah has rested on Elisha”; and they come to meet him, and bow themselves to him to the earth,
Ary raha nahita azy ireo ny zanaky ny mpaminany izay nanandrify azy teo Jeriko, dia nanao hoe: Ny fanahin’ i Elia efa mipetraka amin’ i Elisa. Ary nandeha nitsena azy ireo ka niankohoka tamin’ ny tany teo anatrehany.
16 and say to him, “Now behold, there are fifty men with your servants, sons of valor: please let them go, and they seek your lord, lest the Spirit of YHWH has taken him up, and casts him on one of the hills or into one of the valleys”; and he says, “You do not send.”
Dia hoy ireo taminy: Indro, misy dimam-polo lahy matanjaka ato amin’ ny mpanomponao; masìna ianao, aoka handeha hitady ny tomponao ireo, fandrao naingain’ ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah izy ka nazerany any an-tendrombohitra anankiray, na any an-dohasaha anankiray. Fa hoy izy: Aza maniraka ianareo.
17 And they press on him, until he is ashamed, and he says, “Send”; and they send fifty men, and they seek three days, and have not found him;
Ary raha nanery azy ireo mandra-pikaodikaodiny, dia hoy izy: Maniraha ary. Dia naniraka dimam-polo lahy izy; ary nitady azy hateloana ireny, fa tsy nahita.
18 and they return to him—and he is abiding in Jericho—and he says to them, “Did I not say to you, Do not go?”
Ary tonga tao aminy indray ireny, raha mbola tao Jeriko ihany izy, dia hoy izy taminy: Tsy nilaza taminareo va aho nanao hoe: Aza mandeha?
19 And the men of the city say to Elisha, “Now behold, the site of the city [is] good, as my lord sees, and the waters [are] bad, and the earth sterile.”
Ary hoy ny mponina tao amin’ izany tanàna izany tamin’ i Elisa: Masìna ianao, indro, tsara toerana ity tanàna ity, tompoko, araka izao hitanao izao, saingy ratsy rano, ary ny tany tsy mampahavanon’ anaka.
20 And he says, “Bring a new dish to me, and place salt there”; and they bring [it] to him,
Dia hoy izy: Itondray lovia vaovao aho, ka asio sira ao anatiny. Dia nentiny tany aminy izany.
21 and he goes out to the source of the waters, and casts salt there, and says, “Thus said YHWH: I have given healing to these waters; there is not anymore death and sterility there.”
Ary nivoaka nankany amin’ ilay niandohan’ ny rano izy, dia nanipy sira tao ka nanao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Efa nahatsara ity rano ity Aho; tsy hisy fahafatesana na tsi-fahavanonan’ anaka intsony hiseho eto.
22 And the waters are healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha that he spoke.
Ka dia tsara ny rano mandraka androany araka ny teny nataon’ i Elisa.
23 And he goes up from there to Beth-El, and he is going up in the way, and little youths have come out from the city, and scoff at him, and say to him, “Go up, bald-head! Go up, bald-head!”
Ary dia niakatra avy tao izy ka nankany Betela; ary nony niakatra teny an-dalana izy, dia, indreo, nisy ankizilahy madinika nivoaka avy tao an-tanàna ka nanakora azy hoe: Miakara, ry ilay sola; miakara, ry ilay sola!
24 And he looks behind him, and sees them, and declares them vile in the Name of YHWH, and two bears come out of the forest and ripped apart forty-two of the boys.
Ary nitodika izy ka nahita azy, dia nanozona azy tamin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah. Ary dia nisy beravavy roa avy tany an’ ala namiravira roa amby efa-polo tamin’ ireo ankizilahy madinika ireo.
25 And he goes from there to the hill of Carmel, and from there he has turned back to Samaria.
Dia niala teo Elisa ka nankany an-tendrombohitra Karmela, ary avy tao no niverenany any Samaria.
