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].
Pakaiyin Elijah chu chimpei mangchan vanna alahtou ding kuon in Elijah leh Elisha chu Gilgal la kon’in ahung kijot lhonnin ahi.
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.
Elijah in Elisha kom’ah “Nangma hiche mun a hin ana umtan, Pakaiyin keima Bethel chengeija cheding in eiseije,” ati. Ahin Elisha’n adonbut in, “Hing jing Pakai leh nangma hinlai sen, Keiman nangma kadalha louhel ding ahi!” ati. Hiti chun amani Bethel kho ah akijot lut lhon tai.
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]
Themgao kiloikhom phabep ho chu Bethel’a konin Elisha kom’ah ahungun hitin anadong tauve, “Tunia hi Pakaiyin napupa hi nanga kona alahtouding ahitai ti nahet hinam?” atiuve. Elishain adonbutin, “Kahenai, ahin, hiche thua hin thip beh’in um uvin,” atin ahi.
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].
Chujouvin Elijah in Elisha kom’ah, “Nangma hikom’a hin ana umtan keima vang Pakaiyin Jericho chan che dingin eideije,” ati. Ahin Elisha’n adonbutin kitin, “Hinjing Pakai leh nangma na hinjing laisen keiman nadalha ponge” ati. Hiti chun Jericho geijin achekhom kit lhontai.
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]
Hijou chun Jerichoa konin themgao phabep Elisha kom’ah ahung un, “Pakaiyin napupa hi nanga kona tuni nikhoa hi alah mangding ahitai ti nahet nam?” atiuve. Elisha’n adonbut in “Kahenai, ahin thipbeh in ummun,” atin ahi.
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.
Hijeh chun, Elijah in Elisha kom’ah aseijin “Hichea hin ana umtan ajeh chu keihi Pakaiyin Jordan Vadung geija che dingin aseije,” ati. Ahin Elisha’n adonbut in, “Hinjing Pakai leh nangma nahinjing laisen, Keiman nangma dalha ponge” ati. Hiti chun amani akijot kit lhon tan ahi.
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].
Themgao honho lah’a konin mi som nga acheuvin Elijah leh Elisha Jordan vadung changei akijot lhon chu agal vet un ahi.
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.
Hichun Elijah in aponsil chu ajel tumin twi chung chu ajep a ahileh, vadung chu ahung kikhen in, anilhon chun agalkai lhon tan ahi.
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).”
Amani agalkai lhonphat’in Elijah in Elisha kom’ah, “Keima lahtouva kaum kah’in ipi kabolpeh theiding um am seijin,” ati. Chuin, Elisha’n adonbut in, “Nangma thalheng kahi thei na dingin nalhagao chan hi ajatnin neichan sah in,” ati.
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.”
Elijah in adonbut in, “Nathil thum hi thil hahsatah khat nathum ahi, ahin nangin keima hi nanga kona lahtouva kaum neimua ahileh nathum chu namu ding ahi,” atipeh in ahi.
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).
Hitia chu amani kihoulim puma akijotpet lhon chun, pohphungin sakol kangtalai meikong pum in ahung kilah in, meikong lomlah’a chun sakol in ahin kaijin ahi. Amani kikah a chun atol lut in, amani chu asep khen lhon in, Elijah chu chimpaijin van langa apuitou tan ahi.
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].
Elisha’n hichu amun apengjah jengin, “Hepa! Hepa! Keiman Israelte sakol kangtalai leh sakol kangtalai tol ho kamun ahi,” ati. Chuin Elijah chu lahtouva aum a, Elisha akoma kona amuphah lou phat in Elisha’n lungkham tah in apon chu abot-tel in ahi.
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].
Elijah lahtouva aum phat’in, ahung lenglha Elijah poncho chu Elijah in akilah tan ahi. Hijouchun Elisha chu Jordan vadung panga chun ahung kiletan ahi.
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.
Aman vadung twi chu Elijah ponchol chun ajep in hitin asamtan ahi, “Elijah Pathen Pakai chu hoiya umma ham?” ati. Hichun vadung chu akikhen in Elisha agalkai tai.
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.
Jericho a kona themgao kiloikhom ho chu Jericho a konin thilsoh chu agalmu uvin, hiti hin asam tauvin ahi, “Elijah lhagao chu Elisha chunga achutai,” atiuve. Amaho chu ama kimupi dingin acheuvin amasanga tol’ah abohkhup un,
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.”
“Hepu – nangin thu neipe uvin lang keiho lah a ahatcheh mi somnga in gam mang lah’a hi napupa hol uvinge. Ijem atileh Pakai lhagaovin molchung ham, phaicham chungham, khatna adalhah maithei ahi.” atiuve. Elisha’n adonbut in, “Ahipoi, sol hih in,” ati.
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.
Ahinlah amahon aseitei tei jingun ahileh, aman anil nomlou phat in, “Aphai sol tauvin,” ati. Hichun mi somnga in nithum lhingset ahol un amupouvin ahi.
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]
Elisha chu amaho hung kilekit geijin Jericho a ana um nalaijin ahi. “Che hih un kati hilou ham?” ati.
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.”
Nikhat hi Jericho khopia lamkai hon Elisha chu ahung kimupiuvin, “Keihon boina khat kaneijuve, Hepu!” ahung tiuve, “Nangin namu bangin hiche khopi nomtah le hoitah ahi. Ahinla twi ahah in chuleh agam leiset a jong hin ima aputpon ahi,” ahung tiuvin ahi.
20 Elisha said to them, “Put some salt in a new bowl and bring the bowl to me.” So they brought it to him.
Elisha’n amaho kom’ah, khonthah khatna chi hinchoujun ati. Hichun amahon jong ahinchoijun ahi.
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]
Hijou chun, aman hiche khopi sunga twi hunglonlut patna twinah'a chun chi aga seplut in hitin asei tai, “Pakaiyin hitin aseje, keiman hiche twihi kasutheng tai, hichea kon hin thi nale ga phalou um talou ding ahi,” ati.
22 And the water became pure, just as Elisha said it would be. Since that time it has always remained pure.
Hiti chun Elisha’n aseibang in hiche nikhoa pat chun twi chu atheng jengtan ahi.
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!”
Elisha’n Jericho chu adalhan Bethel lam ajontan ahi. Hitia chu lamlen na achepet jing lai chun, hiche khopi sunga kona chapang phabep in atot khum’un noise tah in, “Lutolpa chedoh in, Lutolpa chedoh in atiuvin,” ahi.
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.
Elisha akiheijin amaho chu aven Pakai minnin asamse tan ahi. Hichun gam’ahng lah’a konin Vompi ni ahung potdoh'in chapang somli le ni chu abot tellin athat gamtan ahi.
25 Elisha left Bethel and went to Carmel Mountain, and after that he returned to Samaria [city].
Hichea kon chun Elisha chu Carmel lhang lam chu ajonnin khonungin Samaria langa akile in ahi.
