< 2 Kings 2 >
1 When Yahweh was about to take [the prophet] Elijah up to heaven in a (whirlwind/twisting wind), Elijah and [his fellow prophet] Elisha were traveling [south] from Gilgal [town].
Hina Gode da Ilaidia foga ononosu amoga Hebenega oule heda: mu eso da doaga: lalu, Ilaidia amola Ilaisia da Giliga: le moilai fisili asi.
2 Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here, because Yahweh has told [only] me to go to Bethel [town].” But Elisha replied, “Just as certainly as Yahweh lives and you live, I will not leave you!” So they went down [together] to Bethel.
Logoa ahoana, Ilaidia da Ilaisiama amane sia: i, “Waha gui leloma! Hina Gode da nama Bedele moilaiga masa: ne sia: i.” Be Ilaisia da bu adole i, “Na da Hina Gode da esala amola di da esala, amo dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, na da dafawane ilegele sia: sa. Na da di hamedafa yolesimu.” Amaiba: le, ela da ahoana, Bedele moilaiga doaga: i.
3 A group of prophets came to Elisha [and Elijah before they entered the town], and they asked Elisha, “Do you know that Yahweh is going to take your master/boss [Elijah] away from you today?” Elisha answered, “Certainly I know that, but don’t talk about it!” [IDM]
Bedelega esalebe balofede dunu gilisi, ilia da Ilaisiama misini, ema amane adole ba: i, “Hina Gode da dia hina wali eso dima fadegamu, amo di da hame dawa: bela: ?” Ilaisia da bu adole i, “Ma! Na dawa: ! Be amoga ninia da hame sia: mu.”
4 Then Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here, because Yahweh has told [only] me to go to Jericho.” But Elisha replied [again], “Just as certainly as Yahweh lives and you live, I will not leave you!” So they went [together] to Jericho [city].
Amalalu, Ilaidia da Ilaisiama amane sia: i, “Waha gui leloma! Hina Gode da nama Yeligou moilai bai bagadega masa: ne sia: i.” Be Ilaisia da bu adole i, “Na da Hina Gode da esala amola di da esala, amo dafawaneya: le dawa: beba: le, na da dafawane ilegele sia: sa. Na da di hamedafa yolesimu.” Amaiba: le, ela da ahoana, Yeligou moilai bai bagadega doaga: i.
5 [As they neared] Jericho, a group of prophets who were from there came to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that Yahweh is going to take your master/boss [Elijah] away from you today?” He answered again, “Certainly I know that, but don’t talk about it!” [IDM]
Yeligou moilai bai bagadega esalebe balofede dunu gilisi, ilia da Ilaisiama misini, ema amane adole ba: i, “Hina Gode da dia hina wali eso dima fadegamu, amo di da hame dawa: bela: ?” Ilaisia da bu adole i, “Ma! Na dawa: ! Be amoga ninia da hame sia: mu.”
6 Then Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here, because Yahweh has told [only] me to go to the Jordan [River].” But [again] Elisha replied, “As certainly as Yahweh lives and you live, I will not leave you!” So they continued walking together.
Amalalu, Ilaidia da Ilaisiama amane sia: i, “Waha gui leloma! Hina Gode da nama Yodane Hanoga masa: ne sia: i.” Be Ilaisia da bu adole i, “Na da Hina Gode da esala amola di da esala, amo dafawaneya: le dawa: beba: le, na da dafawane ilegele sia: sa. Na da di hamedafa yolesimu.” Amaiba: le, ela da bu ahoanu.
7 Fifty men from a group of prophets [who were from Jericho] also went, but they watched from a distance as Elijah and Elisha stopped at the edge of the Jordan [River].
Balofede dunu 50 agoane da elama Yodane Hanoga boboge asi. Ilaidia amola Ilaisia da hano bega: doaga: le lelu, amola balofede dunu 50 agoane da ela gasigale lelefulu.
8 Then Elijah rolled up his cloak and struck the water with it. A path opened up for them through the river, and they walked across [as though they were] on dry ground.
Amalalu, Ilaidia da hina: abula gisa: le, biobione, amoga hano da: iya fai. Hano da dogoa mogili ahoabeba: le, ela da amo hafoga: i osobo da: iba: le la: idi ganodini asi.
9 When they came to the other side, Elijah said to Elisha, “What do you want me to do for you before (I am taken away/Yahweh takes me away)?” Elisha replied, “I want to receive twice as much of your power [as you have had, ] (OR enable me to very powerfully continue your ministry).”
Amoga, Ilaidia da Ilaisiama amane sia: i, “Na da masunusa: gala. Be hidadea, dia hanai amo na da dima hamoma: ne dawa: i, amo nama adoma!” Ilaisia da bu adole i, “Na da di bagia balofededafa esaloma: ne, dia a: silibu gasa bagade hou baligiliwane nama ima.”
10 Elijah replied, “You have asked for something which is difficult [for me to cause to happen]. But, if you see me when (I am taken from you/Yahweh takes me from you), you will get what you are requesting. But if you do not see me, then you will not get it.”
Ilaidia da bu adole i, “Dia adole ba: i amo imunu da gasa bagade gala. Be na da dima lale fasimu hou amo ba: sea, di da dia adole ba: i amo lamu. Be amo di da hame ba: sea, hame lamu.”
11 As they were walking and talking, suddenly a chariot that had fire [surrounding it], pulled by horses which also had fire [surrounding them], appeared. [The chariot driver] drove the chariot between Elijah and Elisha and separated them. Then Elijah was taken up to heaven in a (whirlwind/twisting wind).
Ela da ahoana amo sia: dada asi. Amalalu, hedololewane, lalu agoane ‘sa: liode’, laluga hamoi hosiga hiougi, ela dibiga misini, ela afafalalu, amola Ilaidia da foga ononosu ganodini, Hebene sogega oule heda: lebe ba: i.
12 Elisha saw it. He cried out, “My father/master! My father/master! The chariots of us Israeli people and their drivers [have taken my master away]!” [They disappeared into the sky, ] and Elisha never saw Elijah again. Then Elisha tore his own robe into two pieces [to show that he was sad].
Ilaisia da amo hou ba: beba: le, Ilaidiama amane wele sia: i, “Na ada! Na ada! Isala: ili fi dunu ilia gasa bagade gaga: su dunu! Di da asi dagoi!” Amola e da Ilaidia bu hame ba: i. Ilaisia da fofagiba: le, ea abula gisa: le, dogoa gadelai.
13 Elijah’s cloak [had fallen off when he was taken away, so] Elisha picked it up and returned to the bank of the Jordan [River].
Amalalu, e da Ilaidia abula (amo da Ilaidia da gisa: le sanasi) amo lale, bu gaguli asili, Yodane Hano bega: aligi.
14 He [rolled up the cloak and] struck the water with it, and cried out, “Will Yahweh, the God who [enabled] Elijah [to perform miracles, enable me to do similar things]?” Then the water separated, and a path opened up for him, and Elisha went across.
E da Ilaidia ea abula amoga hano da: iya fane, amane sia: i, “Ilaidia ea Hina Gode da habila: ?” Amalu, e da hano da: iya eno fabeba: le, hano da dogoa mogilasi. Amaiba: le, e da amo hafoga: i osobo da: iba: le, la: idi ganodini asi.
15 When the group of prophets from Jericho saw what happened, they exclaimed, “Elisha now has the power that Elijah had!” [MTY] They walked over to him and bowed down in front of him.
Balofede gilisi 50 agoane esalu da ea hou ba: beba: le, amane sia: i, “Ilaidia ea gasa da Ilaisiama madelai dagoi!” Ilia da e yosia: musa: asili, ea midadi beguduli,
16 [One of] them said, “Sir, if you permit us, 50 of our strongest men will go and search for your master [on the other side of the river]. Perhaps the Spirit of Yahweh has left him on some mountain or in some valley.” Elisha replied, “No, do not send them.”
amane sia: i, “Ninia da gasa bagade dunu 50 agoane gui lela. Ninia da dia hina hogola ahoa: di! Amabela: ? Hina Gode Ea A: silibu da e gaguli asili, goumi afae da: iya o fago ganodini ligisibala: ?” Ilaisia da ilima amane sia: i, “Hame mabu! Dilia mae masa!”
17 But they kept insisting. Finally he was tired of saying “No,” and he said, “Okay, send them.” So 50 men searched for three days, but they did not find Elijah.
Be ilia da gebewane ema adoleboba: lobawane, fa: no e da ili masa: ne sia: i. Amo balofede dunu da asili, soge huluane hohogola lafia: lobawane, eso udiana baligi. Be Ilaidia hame ba: i.
18 They returned to Jericho, and Elisha was still there. He said to them, “I told you that you should not go, [because you would not find him]!” [RHQ]
Amalalu, ilia da Ilaisia, Yeligou moilai bai bagadega ouesala, ema buhagini misi. E da ilima amane sia: i, “Na da dilima mae masa: ne hame adoi galula: ?”
19 Then the leaders of [Jericho] city came to talk with Elisha. One of them said, “Our master, we have a problem. You can see that this is a very nice place [to live in]. But the water is bad, and as a result, crops will not grow on the land.”
Yeligou moilai bai bagade fi dunu oda ilia da Ilaisiama asili, ema amane sia: i, “Hina! Di dawa: ! Ninia moilai da noga: idafa. Be hano da wadela: iba: le, dunu da olole bogosa amola uda da mano baladigisa.
20 Elisha said to them, “Put some salt in a new bowl and bring the bowl to me.” So they brought it to him.
Ilaisia da amane hamoma: ne sia: i, “Osoboga hamoi ofodo gaheabolo amo ganodini, deme salima. Amalalu, amo nama gaguli misa.” Ilia da ea sia: i defele hamoi.
21 Then he went out to the spring [from which the people in the town got water]. He threw the salt into the spring. Then he said, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘I have made this water good/pure. No longer will anyone die, from having drunk this water, and now crops will be able to grow.’” [LIT]
Ilaisia da ofodo lale, hano bubuga: su amoga asili, deme amo hanoga sanasili, amane sia: i, “Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, ‘Na da waha amo hano noga: sa! Fa: no amoga bogosu o baladigisu bu hame ba: mu.’”
22 And the water became pure, just as Elisha said it would be. Since that time it has always remained pure.
Amalu, Ilaisia ea sia: i defele, amo hano da amo esoha fa: no, noga: idafa ba: i.
23 Elisha left Jericho and went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, a group of young boys from Bethel [saw him and] started to make fun of him. They continued shouting, “Go away, you bald-headed man!”
Ilaisia da Bedele moilaiga masa: ne Yeligou moilai bai bagade fisili, logoa ahoanoba, goi oda ilia da moilai afae amoga misini, ema oufesega: le amane wele sia: i, “Di! Busagi gianai dunu! Gado heda: ma! Gado heda: ma!”
24 Elisha turned around and looked/glared at them. He asked Yahweh to (curse them/do something bad to them). Immediately two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of them.
Ilaisia da sinidigili, ilima beba: le ougili sosodole, amola ilima Hina Gode Ea Dioba: le gagabusu aligima: ne, ilegele sia: i. Amalalu, gasa bagade bea aseme aduna da iwilaganini misini, amo goi42agoane mini amola ifiga adodogone a: le dodosa: ne fasi.
25 Elisha left Bethel and went to Carmel Mountain, and after that he returned to Samaria [city].
Ilaisia da bu asili, Gamele Goumiga doaga: i. Amalu, fa: no e da Samelia sogega buhagi.
