< 2 Kings 2 >
1 It happened, when YHWH would take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
Kad nu Tas Kungs Eliju vētrā gribēja uzņemt debesīs, tad Elija ar Elišu gāja no Gilgalas.
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.
Un Elija sacīja uz Elišu: paliec jel šeitan, jo Tas Kungs mani sūtījis uz Bēteli. Bet Eliša sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvs un tava dvēsele dzīva, es tevi neatstāšu.
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."
Un kad tie gāja uz Bēteli, tad tie praviešu bērni, kas bija Bētelē, izgāja pie Elišas un uz to sacīja: vai tu zini, ka Tas Kungs šodien tavu kungu paņems no tavas galvas? Un viņš sacīja: zinu gan, esiet tikai klusu!
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.
Un Elija uz to sacīja: Eliša, paliec jel šeitan, jo Tas Kungs mani sūtījis uz Jēriku. Bet tas sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvs un tava dvēsele dzīva, es tevi neatstāšu. Tā tie gāja uz Jēriku.
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."
Tad tie praviešu bērni, kas bija Jērikū, piegāja pie Elišas un uz to sacīja: vai tu zini, ka Tas Kungs tavu kungu šodien paņems no tavas galvas? Un tas sacīja: zinu gan, esiet tikai klusu!
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.
Tad Elija uz to sacīja: paliec jel šeitan, jo Tas Kungs mani sūtījis pie Jardānes. Bet tas sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvs un tava dvēsele dzīva, es tevi neatstāšu. Tā tie gāja abi divi.
7 Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both stood by the Jordan.
Un piecdesmit vīri no praviešu bērniem gāja un nostājās iepretim no tālienes; un tie abi stāvēja pie Jardānes.
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.
Tad Elija ņēma savu mēteli un to satina un sita ūdenī, un tas dalījās uz abējām pusēm, ka tie abi gāja cauri sausām kājām.
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."
Kad tie nu bija cauri izgājuši, tad Elija sacīja uz Elišu: lūdz, ko man tev būs darīt, pirms es topu atņemts no tevis. Un Eliša sacīja: lai jel tavs gars divkārtīgā mērā ir uz manis.
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."
Un viņš sacīja: grūtu lietu tu esi lūdzis; ja tu mani redzēsi, kad es no tevis tapšu atņemts, tad tas tev tā notiks, bet ja ne, tad tas nenotiks.
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.
Un šiem tā ejot un runājot, redzi, ugunīgi rati un ugunīgi zirgi nāca, kas tos abus šķīra. Tā Elija aizbrauca vētrā uz debesīm.
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.
Un Eliša to redzēja un brēca: mans tēvs, mans tēvs! Israēla rati un viņa jātnieki! Un viņš to vairs neredzēja. Un viņš sagrāba savas drēbes un tās saplēsa divos gabalos.
13 And he picked up the cloak of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of the Jordan.
Un viņš pacēla Elijas mēteli, kas tam bija nokritis, un griezās atpakaļ un stāvēja Jardānes malā.
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.
Un viņš ņēma Elijas mēteli, kas tam bija nokritis, un sita to ūdeni un sacīja: kur nu Viņš, Tas Kungs, Elijas Dievs? Un viņš sita to ūdeni, un tas dalījās uz abējām pusēm, un Eliša gāja cauri.
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.
Kad nu tie praviešu bērni iepretim Jērikum viņu redzēja, tad tie sacīja: Elijas gars dus uz Elišas, un tie viņam gāja pretī un metās pie zemes viņa priekšā.
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."
Un tie uz viņu sacīja: redzi, starp taviem kalpiem ir piecdesmit spēcīgi vīri, lai tie iet un meklē tavu kungu: kad tik Tā Kunga Gars viņu nav paņēmis un nometis uz kādu kalnu vai kādā ielejā. Bet viņš sacīja: nesūtiet.
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.
Bet tie vēl vairāk lūdza, kamēr palika vai kauns, un viņš sacīja: sūtiet. Un tie sūtīja piecdesmit vīrus un to meklēja trīs dienas un neatrada.
18 They came back to him, while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, "Did I not tell you not to go?"
Tad tie nāca atpakaļ pie viņa uz Jēriku, kur viņš bija palicis, un viņš uz tiem sacīja: vai es jums nesacīju: neejat?
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."
Un tās pilsētas vīri sacīja uz Elišu: redzi jel, šās pilsētas vieta ir gan laba, kā mans kungs redz, bet ūdens ir nelāga un zeme neauglīga.
20 He said, "Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it." They brought it to him.
Un viņš sacīja: atnesiet man jaunu kausu un liekat sāli iekšā; un tie viņam to atnesa.
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.'"
Un viņš izgāja pie tā ūdens avota un iemeta tur to sāli iekšā un sacīja: tā saka Tas Kungs: es šo ūdeni esmu veselīgu darījis, no tejienes vairs nenāks ne nāve nedz neauglība.
22 So the waters were healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.
Tā tas ūdens palika veselīgs līdz šai dienai pēc Elišas vārda, ko viņš bija runājis.
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."
Un viņš no turienes gāja uz Bēteli, un kad viņš pa ceļu uz augšu gāja, tad mazi puikas no pilsētas nāca ārā un to mēdīja un uz to sacīja: plikgalvi, nāc augšā, plikgalvi, nāc augšā!
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.
Un viņš apgriezās, un tos ieraudzījis viņš tos nolādēja Tā Kunga Vārdā. Tad divi lāči iznāca no meža un no tiem saplosīja četrdesmit un divus bērnus.
25 He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
Un viņš no turienes gāja uz Karmeļa kalnu, un no turienes viņš griezās atpakaļ uz Samariju.
