< 2 Kings 2 >
1 It happened, when YHWH would take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
BOEIPA loh Elijah te vaan hlipuei neh a khuen ham a om coeng dongah Elijah neh Elisha te Gilgal lamloh cet rhoi.
2 Elijah said to Elisha, "Please wait here, for YHWH has sent me as far as Bethel." Elisha said, "As YHWH lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." So they went down to Bethel.
Te vaengah Elijah loh Elisha te, “He ah ana om dae, BOEIPA loh kai Bethel la n'tueih,” a ti nah. Tedae Elisha loh, “BOEIPA kah hingnah neh na hinglu kah hingnah vanbangla nang kan toeng mahpawh,” a ti nah dongah Bethel la suntla rhoi.
3 The sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, "Do you know that YHWH will take away your master from your head today?" He said, "Yes, I know it; hold your peace."
Te vaengah Bethel kah tonghma ca rhoek te Elisha taengla pawk uh tih amah te, “BOEIPA loh na boei te na lu so lamloh a loh ham khohnin te na ming a?” a ti nauh. Tedae, “Ka ming ngawn, duem om uh,” a ti nah.
4 Elijah said to him, "Elisha, please wait here, for YHWH has sent me to Jericho." He said, "As YHWH lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." So they came to Jericho.
Te phoeiah Elijah loh anih te, “Elisha, heah om laeh, BOEIPA loh kai Jerikho la n'tueih,” a ti nah. Te vaengah BOEIPA kah hingnah neh na hinglu kah hingnah bangla nang kan toeng mahpawh,” a ti nah dongah Jerikho la cet rhoi.
5 The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came near to Elisha, and said to him, "Do you know that YHWH will take away your master from your head today?" He answered, "Yes, I know it. Hold your peace."
Te vaengah Jerikho kah tonghma ca rhoek te Elisha taengla thoeih uh tih amah te, “BOEIPA loh na boei te na lu so lamloh a loh ham khohnin te na ming a?” a ti nauh. Tedae, “Ka ming ngawn, duem om uh,” a ti nah.
6 Elijah said to him, "Please wait here, for YHWH has sent me to the Jordan." He said, "As YHWH lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." They both went on.
Te vaengah Elijah loh anih te, “Heah ana om dae, BOEIPA loh kai Jordan la n'tueih,” a ti nah. Tedae, “BOEIPA kah hingnah neh na hinglu kah hingnah vanbangla nang kan toeng mahpawh,” a ti nah dongah rhen cet rhoi.
7 Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both stood by the Jordan.
Te vaengah tonghma ca rhoek hlang sawmnga te cet uh tih rhaldan ah a hla la pai uh. Tedae amih rhoi te Jordan ah pai rhoi.
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.
Elijah loh a himbai te a loh tih a tlaep phoeiah tui te a boh hatah khatben khatbang la phih uh tih amih rhoi te lanhak dongah kat rhoi.
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."
Te tlam te om tih a kat rhoi vaengah Elijah loh Elisha te, “Nang taeng lamloh n'loh tom ah nang ham balae kan saii eh thui lah?” a ti nah. Elisha loh, “Nang kah mueihla rhaep nit te kai hamla om pawn laeh saeh,” a ti nah.
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."
Te dongah, “Na bih tih kai nan nan coeng, nang taeng lamloh kai n'loh te na hmuh atah he he nang ham om bitni. Tedae nan hmuh pawt atah om van mahpawh,” a ti nah.
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.
Amih rhoi te a caeh doe a caeh doela a cal rhoi vaengah hmai leng neh hmai marhang loh amih rhoi laklo ah tarha a phih tih Elijah te vaan hlipuei khuila cet.
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.
Elisha loh a hmuh vaengah, “A pa, a pa, Israel kah leng neh a marhang caem,” tila pang. Anih te a hmuh voel pawt dongah amah himbai te a tuuk tih hnipen panit la a phen.
13 And he picked up the cloak of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of the Jordan.
A so lamkah aka tla Elijah kah himbai te a rhuh phoeiah tah cet tih Jordan tuikaeng ah pai.
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 YHWH, 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.
A so lamkah aka tla Elijah kah himbai te a loh phoeiah tui te a boh tih, “Elijah kah Pathen BOEIPA te melae?” a ti. Tui te a boh van vaengah khatben khatbang la phih uh tih Elisha te kat.
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.
Te vaengah rhaldan Jerikho lamkah tonghma ca rhoek loh anih te a sawt uh tih, “Elijah kah mueihla tah Elisha soah om,” a ti uh. Te phoeiah anih doe hamla cet uh tih a hmaiah diklai la bakop uh.
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 Spirit of YHWH 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."
Te phoeiah a taengah, “Tatthai ca rhoek hlang sawmnga he na sal rhoek neh om pueng he. Cet uh laeh vetih na boei rhoek te ka tlap uh mako. BOEIPA Mueihla loh anih a pom tih tlang pakhat ah nim, kolrhawk khuikah kolrhawk pakhat ah nim a voeih ve,” a ti nauh. Tedae, “Tueih boeh,” a ti nah.
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.
Tedae anih te a yah hil a hloep uh dongah, “Tueih uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah hlang sawmnga a tueih uh tih hnin thum a tlap uh dae hmu uh pawh.
18 They came back to him, while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, "Did I not tell you not to go?"
Elisha taengla a mael uh vaengah tah anih te Jerikho ah om pueng tih amih te, “Nangmih te caeh pawt ham ka thui pawt nim?” a ti nah.
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."
Te vaengah khopuei kah hlang rhoek loh Elisha taengah, “Ka boeipa aw, na hmuh bangla khopuei tolrhum tah then coeng he, tedae tui thae tih diklai khaw hi,” a ti uh.
20 He said, "Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it." They brought it to him.
Te dongah lungkaehkhoe a thai pakhat te kai taengla hang khuen uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah lungkaeh pahoi a poep thil uh tih a taengla a khuen pauh.
21 He went out to the spring of the waters, and threw salt into it, and said, "Thus says YHWH, 'I have healed these waters. There shall not be from there any more death or miscarrying.'"
Tui sae la a khuen tih lungkaeh te a phul phoeiah, “BOEIPA loh he ni a thui, he tui he ka hoeih sak coeng, he lamlong tah dueknah neh thangyah khaw om voel mahpawh,” a ti nah.
22 So the waters were healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.
Elisha kah a thui ol bangla tahae khohnin hil tui te hoeih.
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."
Te phoeiah Bethel lamloh pahoi cet tih longpueng ah a caeh vaengah khopuei lamkah cadong ca rhoek te ha pawk uh. Anih te a soehsal uh tih, “Lukoelh cet laeh, lukoelh cet laeh,” a ti nauh.
24 He looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the name of YHWH. Two female bears came out of the woods, and mauled forty-two of those youths.
A hnuk la mael tih amih te a hmuh vaengah amih te BOEIPA ming neh a kosi nah. Te dongah duup lamkah vom pumnit ha pawk tih camoe sawmli panit te a phuet.
25 He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
Te lamloh Karmel tlang la cet tih te lamloh Samaria la mael.
