2 Kings 2
1 And it was when took up Yahweh Elijah by the whirlwind the heavens and he went Elijah and Elisha from Gilgal.
So it came about, when Yahweh was going to take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah left with Elisha from Gilgal.
2 And he said Elijah to Elisha remain please here for Yahweh he has sent me to Beth-el and he said Elisha [by] [the] life of Yahweh and [by] [the] life of self your if I will leave you and they went down Beth-el.
Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here, please, because Yahweh has sent me to Bethel.” Elisha replied, “As Yahweh lives, and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel.
3 And they came out [the] sons of the prophets who [were at] Beth-el to Elisha and they said to him ¿ do you know that this day Yahweh [is] about to take master your from over head your and he said also I I know be silent.
The sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that Yahweh will take away your master from you today?” Elisha replied, “Yes, I know it, but do not talk about it.”
4 And he said to him Elijah O Elisha - remain please here for Yahweh he has sent me Jericho and he said [by] [the] life of Yahweh and [by] [the] life of self your if I will leave you and they went Jericho.
Elijah said to him, “Elisha, wait here, please, for Yahweh has sent me to Jericho.” Then Elisha replied, “As Yahweh lives, and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went to Jericho.
5 And they drew near [the] sons of the prophets who [were] at Jericho to Elisha and they said to him ¿ do you know that this day Yahweh [is] about to take master your from over head your and he said also I I know be silent.
Then the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that Yahweh will take away your master from you today?” Elisha answered, “Yes, I know it, but do not talk about it.”
6 And he said to him Elijah remain please here for Yahweh he has sent me the Jordan towards and he said [by] [the] life of Yahweh and [by] [the] life of self your if I will leave you and they went [the] two of them.
Then Elijah said to him, “Stay here, please, for Yahweh has sent me to the Jordan.” Elisha replied, “As Yahweh lives, and as you live, I will not leave you.” So the two went on.
7 And fifty man from [the] sons of the prophets they went and they stood from before from a distance and [the] two of them they stood at the Jordan.
Later, fifty of the sons of the prophets stood opposite them at a distance while the two stood by the Jordan.
8 And he took Elijah cloak his and he folded it up and he struck the waters and they were divided hither and hither and they passed over [the] two of them on the dry ground.
Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up, and struck the water with it. The river divided on both sides so that the two of them walked over on dry ground.
9 And it was when had passed over they and Elijah he said to Elisha ask what? will I do for you before I will be taken from with you and he said Elisha and may it be please a mouth of two in spirit your to me.
It came about, after they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask me what I should do for you before I am taken from you.” Elisha replied, “Please let a double portion of your spirit come on me.”
10 And he said you have made difficult to ask if you will see me taken from with you may it be to you thus and if not not it will be.
Elijah answered, “You have asked for a difficult thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, this will happen for you, but if not, it will not happen.”
11 And it was they [were] walking continuously and speaking and there! a chariot of fire and horses of fire and they separated between [the] two of them and he went up Elijah (in the whirlwind *LAB(h)*) the heavens.
As they still went on and talked, behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared, which separated the two men from each other, and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
12 And Elisha [was] seeing and he [was] crying out O father my - father my [the] chariotry of Israel and horsemen its and not he saw him again and he took hold on clothes his and he tore them into two pieces.
Elisha saw it and cried out, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and their horsemen!” He saw Elijah no more, and he took hold of his own clothes and tore them into two pieces.
13 And he took up [the] cloak of Elijah which it had fallen from on him and he went back and he stood on [the] bank of the Jordan.
He picked up Elijah's cloak that had fallen off him, and went back to stand by the bank of the Jordan.
14 And he took [the] cloak of Elijah which it had fallen from on him and he struck the waters and he said where? [is] Yahweh [the] God of Elijah also he - and he struck the waters and they were divided hither and hither and he passed over Elisha.
He struck the water with Elijah's cloak that had fallen and said, “Where is Yahweh, the God of Elijah?” When he had struck the waters, they divided on both sides and Elisha crossed over.
15 And they saw him [the] sons of the prophets who [were] at Jericho from before and they said it has rested [the] spirit of Elijah on Elisha and they came to meet him and they bowed down to him [the] ground towards.
When the sons of the prophets who were from Jericho saw him across from them, they said, “The spirit of Elijah does rest on Elisha!” So they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
16 And they said to him here! please there with servants your [are] fifty men sons of ability let them go please so they may search for master your lest it has carried off him [the] spirit of Yahweh and it has cast him on one of the mountains or in one of (the valleys *Q(k)*) and he said not you must send.
They said to him, “See now, among your servants there are fifty strong men. Let them go, we ask, and look for your master, in case the Spirit of Yahweh has taken him up and thrown him onto some mountain or into some valley.” Elisha answered, “No, do not send them.”
17 And they urged him until was ashamed and he said send [them] and they sent out fifty man and they searched three days and not they found him.
But when they urged Elisha until he was ashamed, he said, “Send them.” Then they sent fifty men, and they looked for three days, but did not find him.
18 And they returned to him and he [was] remaining in Jericho and he said to them ¿ not did I say to you may not you go.
They came back to Elisha, while he stayed at Jericho, and he said to them, “Did I not say to you, 'Do not go'?”
19 And they said [the] people of the city to Elisha here! please [the] location of the city [is] good just as lord my [is] seeing and the waters [are] bad and the land [is] causing abortions.
The men of the city said to Elisha, “See, we beg of you, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my master can see, but the water is bad and the land is not fruitful.”
20 And he said fetch for me a jar new and put there salt and they took [it] to him.
Elisha replied, “Bring me a new bowl and put salt in it,” so they brought it to him.
21 And he went out to [the] outlet of the waters and he threw there salt and he said thus he says Yahweh I have healed the waters these not it will be from there again death and abortion.
Elisha went out to the spring of water and threw salt in it; then he said, “Yahweh says this, 'I have healed these waters. From this time on, there will be no more death or unfruitful land.'”
22 And they have been healed the waters until the day this according to [the] word of Elisha which he spoke.
So the waters were healed to this day, by the word which Elisha spoke.
23 And he went up from there Beth-el and he - [was] going up on the way and lads young they came out from the city and they derided him and they said to him go up O bald [man] go up O bald [man].
Then Elisha went up from there to Bethel. As he was going up the road, young boys came out of the city and mocked him; they said to him, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!”
24 And he turned behind him and he saw them and he cursed them in [the] name of Yahweh and they came out two [female] bears from the forest and they tore in pieces of them forty and two boys.
Elisha looked behind him and saw them; he called on Yahweh to curse them. Then two female bears came out of the woods and injured forty-two of the boys.
25 And he went from there to [the] mountain of Carmel and from there he returned Samaria.
Then Elisha went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
