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.
Nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe nusrɔ̃la blaatɔ̃ yi ɖatsi tsitre ɖe adzɔge eye wodze ŋgɔ afi si Eliya kple Elisa tɔ ɖo le Yɔdan tɔsisi la nu.
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.

Eliya ɖo eŋu be, “Èbia nu sesẽ, ke hã la, ne àkpɔm esime woakɔm adzoe le gbɔwò la, ava eme na wò, ke ne mele alea o la, mava eme na wò o.”
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.
Esime wonɔ zɔzɔm, nɔ dze ɖom la, dzotasiaɖam kple sɔwo ɖiɖi va ma wo kple evea dome eye Eliya to ahom la me yi dziƒo.

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.
Etsɔ awu si ge le Eliya ŋu eye wòtrɔ yi ɖatsi tsitre ɖe Yɔdan tɔsisi la to.
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.

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.
Azɔ la, Yeriko dumegãwo va kpɔ Elisa eye wogblɔ nɛ be, “Nane le fu ɖem na mí. Wò ŋutɔ ènya be wotso du sia ɖe teƒe nyui aɖe, ke míaƒe tsi menyo o, eye wònana fu gena le míaƒe funɔwo ƒo.”
20 And he said fetch for me a jar new and put there salt and they took [it] to him.
