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.
И бысть внегда взяти Господу Илию в вихре яко на небо и идяше Илиа и Елиссей от Галгал.
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.
И рече Илиа ко Елиссею: седи убо зде, яко Господь посла мя до Вефиля и рече Елиссей: жив Господь и жива душа твоя, аще оставлю тя и приидоста в Вефиль.
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."
И приидоша сынове пророчестии, иже в Вефили, ко Елиссею и реша к нему: разумееши ли, яко взимает Господь днесь господина твоего верху главы твоея (от тебе)? И рече: и аз уразумех, молчите.
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.
И рече Илиа ко Елиссею: сяди убо зде, яко Господь посла мя во Иерихон. И рече Елиссей: жив Господь и жива душа твоя, аще оставлю тя. И приидоста во Иерихон.
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."
И приближишася сынове пророков, иже во Иерихоне, ко Елиссею и реша ему: разумееши ли, яко днесь вземлет Господь господина твоего свыше главы твоея (от тебе)? И рече: ибо и аз уразумех, молчите.
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.
И рече ему Илиа: седи зде, яко Господь посла мя до Иордана. И рече Елиссей: жив Господь и жива душа твоя, аще оставлю тебе. И поидоста оба,
7 Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both stood by the Jordan.
и пятьдесят мужей от сынов пророческих, и сташа противу издалеча: и сии оба стаста при Иордане.
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.
И прият Илиа милоть свою, и свит ю, и удари ею в воду, и разступися вода сюду и сюду: и проидоста оба по суху.
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."
И бысть преходящема има, и рече Илиа ко Елиссееви: проси, что сотворю ти прежде неже взят буду от тебе. И рече Елиссей: да будет убо дух, иже в тебе, сугуб во мне.
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."
И рече Илиа: ожесточил еси просити: аще узриши мя вземлема от тебе, будет ти тако: аще ли не (узриши), и будет.
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.
И бысть идущема има, идяста и глаголаста: и се, колесница огненная и кони огненнии, и разделиша между обема. И взят бысть Илиа вихром яко на небо.
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.
И Елиссей зряше и вопияше: отче, отче, колесница Израилева и конница его. И не увиде его ктому: и ятся (Елиссей) за ризы своя, и растерза я в два растерзания,
13 And he picked up the cloak of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of the Jordan.
и взя милоть Илину Елиссей падшую верху его, и возвратися Елиссей, и ста на брезе Иорданове.
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.
И прият (Елиссей) милоть Илиину, яже паде верху его, и удари в воду, и не разступися вода. И рече: где Бог Илиин Аффо? И удари Елиссей воды (вторицею), и разступишася сюду и сюду, и прейде Елиссей по суху.
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.
И видеша его сынове пророчестии, иже во Иерихоне сопротив, и реша: почи дух Илиин на Елиссеи. И приидоша на сретение ему и поклонишася ему до земли,
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."
и реша к нему: се, ныне со отроки твоими пятьдесят мужей сынов сильных: шедше да взыщут господина твоего, еда како Дух Господень взя, и поверже его на Иордане, или на единей от гор, или на единем от холмов и рече Елиссей: не посылайте.
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.
И принудиша его, и дондеже устыдеся, и рече: послите. И послаша пятьдесят мужей, и искаша три дни, и не обретоша его,
18 They came back to him, while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, "Did I not tell you not to go?"
и возвратишася к нему: и той седяше во Иерихоне. И рече Елиссей к ним: не глаголах ли к вам, не идите?
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."
И реша мужие града ко Елиссею: се, жилище града благо, якоже ты, господине, видиши, но воды злы и земля неплодна.
20 He said, "Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it." They brought it to him.
И рече Елиссей: принесите ми водонос нов, и всыплите в онь соль. И взяша, и принесоша к нему.
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.'"
И изыде Елиссей на исходища водная, и всыпа ту соль, и рече: сице глаголет Господь: изцелих воды сия, не будет от них ктому смерти и неплодства.
22 So the waters were healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.
И изцелеша воды до дне сего, по глаголу Елиссееву, егоже глагола.
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."
И взыде оттуду во Вефиль. И восходящу ему путем, и дети малы изыдоша из града, и ругахуся ему, и реша ему: гряди, плешиве, гряди.
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.
И озреся вслед их, и виде я, и проклят я именем Господним. И се, изыдоша две медведицы из дубравы и растерзаша от них четыредесять два отрочища.
25 He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
И иде оттуду в гору Кармилскую, и оттуду возвратися в Самарию.
