2 Kings 2
1 It happened, when the LORD would take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
Ie amy zao, naho fa honjone’ Iehovà an-tangololahy mb’an-dikerañe añe t’i Elià, le nindreza’ i Elià lia t’i Elisà mb’e Gilgale añe.
2 Elijah said to Elisha, "Please wait here, for the LORD has sent me as far as Bethel." Elisha said, "As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." So they went down to Bethel.
Le hoe t’i Elià amy Elisà: Ehe, eo hey irehe, fa nampihitrife’ Iehovà mb’e Betele añe iraho. Aa hoe t’i Elisà, Kanao veloñe t’i Iehovà naho veloñe ty arofo’o, izaho tsy hieng’ azo. Aa le nizotso mb’e Betele mb’eo iereo.
3 The sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, "Do you know that the LORD will take away your master from your head today?" He said, "Yes, I know it; hold your peace."
(Nimb’ amy Elisà mb’eo o anam-pitoky e Beteleo nanao ama’e ty hoe: Fohi’o hao te hasita’ Iehovà boak’ ambone’o ty talè’o te anito? Le hoe re: Eka ‘nio apotako; mianjina.)
4 Elijah said to him, "Elisha, please wait here, for the LORD has sent me to Jericho." He said, "As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." So they came to Jericho.
Le hoe t’i Elià ama’e: O Elisà, Ehe eo hey irehe, fa nampisangitrife’ Iehovà mb’e Ieriko mb’eo iraho. Aa hoe re, Kanao veloñe t’i Iehovà naho veloñe ty arofo’o, tsy hengako. Aa le nimb’e Ieriko mb’eo iereo.
5 The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came near to Elisha, and said to him, "Do you know that the LORD will take away your master from your head today?" He answered, "Yes, I know it. Hold your peace."
(Nimb’ amy Elisà mb’eo o anam-pitoky e Ierikoo nanao ty hoe ama’e: Fohi’o hao te hasita’ Iehovà tsy ho ambone’o ty talè’o te anito? Le hoe re: Eka, apotako: mianjina.)
6 Elijah said to him, "Please wait here, for the LORD has sent me to the Jordan." He said, "As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." They both went on.
Le hoe t’i Elià ama’e: Ehe, eo hey irehe, fa nirahe’ Iehovà mb’ am’ Iordaney mb’ eo iraho, le hoe re: Kanao veloñe t’i Iehovà, naho veloñe ty arofo’o, izaho tsy hieng’azo. Aa le nimb’eo i roroey.
7 Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both stood by the Jordan.
Nimb’eo ka ty limampolo amo anam-pitokio le nijohañe tandrife iareo ey; vaho nijohañe añ’ olo’ Iordaney i roey.
8 Elijah took his cloak, and wrapped it together, and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that the two of them went over on dry ground.
Rinambe’ i Elià i sarimbo’ey le naholonkolo’e naho linafa’e i ranoy naho nivaky roe mb’atia mb’ etia vaho nitsak’ an-tane maike ie roe.
9 It happened, when they had gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you." Elisha said, "Please let a double portion of your spirit be on me."
Naho tafatsake, le hoe t’i Elià amy Elisà; Halalio ze hanoeko ho azo, aolo’ te ho rambeseñe ama’o. Le hoe t’i Elisà: Ehe, te hanañ’ anjara roe amy arofo’oy iraho.
10 He said, "You have asked a hard thing. If you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so."
Le hoe re: Raha sarotse i nihalalia’oy f’ie mahaisak’ ahy te ampisitaheñe ama’o, le ho azo’o; fa naho tsy izay, le ho tsie.
11 It happened, as they still went on, and talked, that look, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
Aa ie nitolom-pañavelo mb’eo nifanaontsy, le nisodehañe eo ty sareten’ afo naho soavalan’ afo nampiria iereo roe le nionjoñe an-tangololahy mb’ andikerañe añe t’i Elià.
12 Elisha saw it, and he cried, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen." He saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and tore them in two pieces.
Niisa’ i Elisà, le hoe ty fipaza’e: Raeko, Raeko, o sarete’ Israeleo, naho o mpiningi’eo! le tsy nioni’e ka; rinambe’e amy zao o siki’eo vaho rinia’e roe.
13 And he picked up the cloak of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of the Jordan.
Rinambe’e ka i sarimbo’ i Elià nipok’ ama’ey le nibalike vaho nijohañe añ’ olo’ Iordaney eo.
14 And he took the cloak of Elijah that fell from him, and struck the water, and it did not divide. And he said, "Where is the LORD, the God of Elijah, even he?" And he struck the water a second time, and they divided to the one side and to the other; and Elisha crossed over.
Rinambe’e i sarimbo’ i Elià nipok’ama’ey le linafa’e i ranoy ami’ty hoe: Aia t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ i Elià? aa ie linafa’e o ranoo, le nifampiria mb’atia, mb’etia; le nitsake t’i Elisà.
15 When the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho over against him saw him, they said, "The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha." They came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
Aa ie niisa’ o anam-pitoki’ Ieriko eio, le hoe iereo: Mipetak’ amy Elisà ty arofo’ i Elià. Le nimb’ ama’e mb’eo nifanalaka ama’e vaho nibokoboko an-tane añatrefa’e.
16 And they said to him, "See now, there are with your servants fifty strong men. Please let them go and seek your master. Perhaps the Ruach of the LORD has taken him up and thrown him into the Jordan, or on some mountain, or into some valley." And he said, "Do not send them."
Le hoe ty asa’ iareo ama’e: Ingo hey ty lahilahy maozatse limampolo amo mpitoro’oo; ehe, ampihitrifo, hipay i talè’oy, hera nampionjone’ i Kofò’ Iehovày vaho nahifi’e an-kaboañ’ ey ndra am-bavatane ao. Le hoe re. Ko mañitrike.
17 When they urged him until he was ashamed, he said, "Send them." They sent therefore fifty men; and they searched for three days, but did not find him.
F’ie nañosik’ aze am-para’ t’ie niheve, le hoe re: Iraho! le nirahe’ iereo i lahilahy limampolo rey; nitsoeaha’ iareo telo andro fa tsy nahatrea.
18 They came back to him, while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, "Did I not tell you not to go?"
Nimpoly ama’e iereo ie nitambatse e Ieriko ao, le hoe re am’ iereo, tsy nivolañeko hao ty hoe: Ko mb’eo?
19 The men of the city said to Elisha, "Look, please, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land miscarries."
Nanao ty hoe amy Elisà ondati’ i rovaio: Ehe mahaisaha te fanjaka ty toe’ ty rova toy, ampahaoniñan- talèko; fe raty ty rano’e, vaho tsy mamokatse o taneo.
20 He said, "Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it." They brought it to him.
Aa le hoe re: Endeso korobo vao iraho le ajoño ama’e ty sira. Le nandesa’ iereo.
21 He went out to the spring of the waters, and threw salt into it, and said, "Thus says the LORD, 'I have healed these waters. There shall not be from there any more death or miscarrying.'"
Le nionjomb’ amo rano manganahanao re naho nahifi’e ama’e i siray, vaho nanao ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà, fa jinangako o rano retoañe, tsy ama’e ka henane zao ty fampihomahañe ndra ty tsy havokarañe.
22 So the waters were healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.
Aa le nivoatse i ranoy pake henane ty amy saontsi’ i Elisà nitaroñe’ey.
23 He went up from there to Bethel. As he was going up by the way, some youths came out of the city and mocked him, and said to him, "Go up, you baldy. Go up, you baldhead."
Nienga re vaho nionjomb’e Betele añe; aa ie nañavelo an-dalam-b’eo, teo ty ajaja niakatse i rovay nikizak’ aze ami’ ty hoe: Mionjona ty sola, mionjona ty sola;
24 He looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. Two female bears came out of the woods, and mauled forty-two of those youths.
Nitolike mañamboho re nahaisake iareo le nozoñe’e ami’ty tahina’ Iehovà. Aa le niakatse boak’ amy alay ty dobe rene’e roe, nandrimitse ty efapolo-ro’ amby am’ iereo.
25 He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
Boak’ ao re nimb’e Karmele añe, le hirik’ao nimpoly mb’e Somerone añe.
