< 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].
Busa nahitabo kini, sa dihang hapit na kuhaon ni Yahweh si Elias pinaagi sa alimpulos padulong sa langit, mibiya si Elias kauban si Eliseo gikan sa Gilgal.
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.
Miingon si Elias ngadto kang Eliseo, “Palihog, pabilin dinhi, tungod kay paadtoon ako ni Yahweh sa Betel.” Mitubag si Eliseo, “Ingon nga buhi si Yahweh, ug ingon nga ikaw buhi, dili ako mobiya kanimo.” Busa milugsong sila ngadto sa Betel.
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]
Miadto kang Eliseo ang mga anak sa mga propeta ug miingon kaniya, “Nasayod ka ba nga kuhaon na ni Yahweh ang imong agalon gikan kanimo karong adlawa?” Mitubang si Eliseo, “Oo, nasayod ako niini, apan ayaw kini hisgoti.”
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].
Miingon si Elias kaniya, “Eliseo, paghulat dinhi, palihog, kay ipadala ako ni Yahweh ngadto sa Jerico.” Mitubag si Eliseo,” Ingon nga buhi si Yahweh, ug ingon nga buhi ka, dili ako mobiya kanimo.” Busa nangadto sila sa Jerico.
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]
Unya miadto kang Eliseo ang mga anak sa mga propeta nga anaa sa Jerico ug miingon kaniya, “Nasayod ka ba nga kuhaon na ni Yahweh ang imong agalon gikan kanimo karong adlawa?” Mitubag si Eliseo, “Oo, nasayod ako niini, apan ayaw kini hisgoti.”
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.
Unya miingon si Elias ngadto kaniya, “Palihog, pabilin dinhi, kay ipadala ako ni Yahweh sa Jordan.” Mitubag si Eliseo, “Ingon nga buhi si Yahweh, ug ingon nga buhi ka, dili ako mobiya kanimo.” Busa nagpadayon silang duha.
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].
Unya, ang 50 ka mga anak nga lalaki sa mga propeta nga nagtindog atbang kanila sa halayong dapit samtang nagtindog ang duha duol sa Jordan.
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.
Gikuha ni Elias ang iyang kupo, gilukot kini, ug gihampak sa tubig. Nabahin ang tubig sa matag kilid busa nanabok ang duha latas sa mala nga yuta.
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).”
Nahitabo kini, pagkahuman nila ug tabok, miingon si Elias kang Eliseo, “Pangayo kanako kung unsa ang akong kinahanglan buhaton alang kanimo sa dili pa ako kuhaon gikan kanimo.” Mitubag si Eliseo, “Palihog tugoti nga makaduha ka pilo ang bahin sa imong espiritu ang mokunsad kanako.”
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.”
Mitubag si Elias, “Lisod nga butang ang imong gipangayo. Apan, kung makita ko nimo sa dihang kuhaon ako gikan kanimo, mahitabo kini alang kanimo, apan kung dili, dili kini mahitabo.”
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).
Samtang nagpadayon sila ug nag-istoryahanay, tan-awa, nagpakita ang karwahe ug mga kabayo nga nagkalayo, nga maoy nagbulag sa duha ka lalaki gikan sa matag usa, ug gipataas si Elias pinaagi sa alimpulos ngadto sa langit.
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].
Nakita kini ni Eliseo ug misinggit, “Amahan ko, amahan ko, ang mga karwahe sa Israel ug ang ilang mga mangangabayo!” Wala na niya nakita si Elias, ug gikuptan niya ang iyang kaugalingon nga bisti ug gigisi kini sa makaduha ka bahin.
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].
Gipunit niya ang kupo ni Elias nga nahulog kaniya, ug mibalik ug tindog sa duol sa Jordan.
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.
Gihampak niya ang tubig pinaagi sa kupo ni Elias nga nahulog ug miingon, “Asa man si Yahweh, ang Dios ni Elias?” Sa dihang gihampak niya ang katubigan, nabahin kini sa matag kilid ug mitabok si Eliseo.
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.
Sa dihang nakita siya sa mga anak sa mga propeta nga gikan sa Jerico atbang kanila, miingon sila, “Mipuyo kang Eliseo ang espiritu ni Elias!” Busa miadto sila ug mitagbo kaniya, ug mihapa sila sa yuta diha sa iyang atubangan.
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.”
Miingon sila kaniya, “Tan-awa karon, ang imong mga sulugoon adunay 50 ka mga kusgan nga kalalakin-an. Tugoti sila nga molakaw, naghangyo kami, ug mangita alang sa imong agalon, tingali ang espiritu ni Yahweh mikuha kaniya ug gilabay ngadto sa pipila ka mga kabungtoran o ngadto sa pipila ka walog.” Mitubag si Eliseo, “Dili, ayaw sila ipadala.”
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.
Apan sa dihang napugos nila si Eliseo hangtod nga naulaw na siya, miingon siya, “Ipadala sila.” Unya gipadala nila ang 50 ka mga kalalakin-an, ug nangita sila sulod sa tulo ka adlaw, apan wala nila siya makaplagi.
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]
Namalik sila didto kang Eliseo, samtang nagpuyo siya didto sa Jerico, ug miingon siya kanila, “Dili ba miingon ako kaninyo, 'Ayaw pag-adto'?”
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.”
Miingon ang kalalakin-an sa siyudad kang Eliseo, “Tan-awa, nanghangyo kami kanimo, maayo ang kahimtang niini nga siyudad, sumala sa nakita sa akong agalon, apan dili maayo ang tubig ug ang yuta dili mabungahon.”
20 Elisha said to them, “Put some salt in a new bowl and bring the bowl to me.” So they brought it to him.
Mitubag si Eliseo, “Dad-i ako ug bag-ong panaksan ug butangi kini ug asin,” busa gidad-an nila siya niini.
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]
Miadto si Eliseo sa tuboran sa tubig ug gisabwag ang asin niini; unya miingon siya, “Mao kini ang giingon ni Yahweh, 'Giayo nako kini nga katubigan. Gikan karong taknaa, wala nay kamatayon ni dili mabungahon nga yuta.”'
22 And the water became pure, just as Elisha said it would be. Since that time it has always remained pure.
Busa naayo ang mga tubig niining adlawa, pinaagi sa mga pulong nga gipamulong ni Eliseo.
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!”
Unya mitungas si Eliseo gikan didto padulong sa Betel. Sa diha nga nagatungas pa siya sa dalan, migula ang mga batan-ong lalaki sa siyudad ug nagbugal-bugal kaniya; miingon sila kaniya, “Tungas, opawa ka! Tungas, opawa ka!”
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.
Milingi si Eliseo sa iyang likod ug nakita niya sila; misangpit siya kang Yahweh aron sa pagtunglo kanila. Unya migula ang duha ka babaye nga uso gikan sa kakahoyan ug midagmal sa 42 ka mga lalaki.
25 Elisha left Bethel and went to Carmel Mountain, and after that he returned to Samaria [city].
Unya gikan didto miadto si Eliseo sa Bukid sa Carmel, ug gikan didto mibalik siya sa Samaria.
