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].
Menjelang saatnya TUHAN hendak menaikkan Elia ke sorga dalam angin badai, Elia dan Elisa sedang berjalan dari 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.
Berkatalah Elia kepada Elisa: "Baiklah tinggal di sini, sebab TUHAN menyuruh aku ke Betel." Tetapi Elisa menjawab: "Demi TUHAN yang hidup dan demi hidupmu sendiri, sesungguhnya aku tidak akan meninggalkan engkau." Lalu pergilah mereka ke 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]
Pada waktu itu keluarlah rombongan nabi yang ada di Betel mendapatkan Elisa, lalu berkatalah mereka kepadanya: "Sudahkah engkau tahu, bahwa pada hari ini tuanmu akan diambil dari padamu oleh TUHAN terangkat ke sorga?" Jawabnya: "Aku juga tahu, diamlah!"
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].
Berkatalah Elia kepadanya: "Hai Elisa, baiklah tinggal di sini, sebab TUHAN menyuruh aku ke Yerikho." Tetapi jawabnya: "Demi TUHAN yang hidup dan demi hidupmu sendiri, sesungguhnya aku tidak akan meninggalkan engkau." Lalu sampailah mereka di Yerikho.
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]
Pada waktu itu mendekatlah rombongan nabi yang ada di Yerikho kepada Elisa serta berkata kepadanya: "Sudahkah engkau tahu, bahwa pada hari ini tuanmu akan diambil dari padamu oleh TUHAN terangkat ke sorga?" Jawabnya: "Aku juga tahu, diamlah!"
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.
Berkatalah Elia kepadanya: "Baiklah tinggal di sini, sebab TUHAN menyuruh aku ke sungai Yordan." Jawabnya: "Demi TUHAN yang hidup dan demi hidupmu sendiri, sesungguhnya aku tidak akan meninggalkan engkau." Lalu berjalanlah keduanya.
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].
Lima puluh orang dari rombongan nabi itu ikut berjalan, tetapi mereka berdiri memandang dari jauh, ketika keduanya berdiri di tepi sungai Yordan.
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.
Lalu Elia mengambil jubahnya, digulungnya, dipukulkannya ke atas air itu, maka terbagilah air itu ke sebelah sini dan ke sebelah sana, sehingga menyeberanglah keduanya dengan berjalan di tanah yang kering.
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).”
Dan sesudah mereka sampai di seberang, berkatalah Elia kepada Elisa: "Mintalah apa yang hendak kulakukan kepadamu, sebelum aku terangkat dari padamu." Jawab Elisa: "Biarlah kiranya aku mendapat dua bagian dari rohmu."
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.”
Berkatalah Elia: "Yang kauminta itu adalah sukar. Tetapi jika engkau dapat melihat aku terangkat dari padamu, akan terjadilah kepadamu seperti yang demikian, dan jika tidak, tidak akan terjadi."
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).
Sedang mereka berjalan terus sambil berkata-kata, tiba-tiba datanglah kereta berapi dengan kuda berapi memisahkan keduanya, lalu naiklah Elia ke sorga dalam angin badai.
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].
Ketika Elisa melihat itu, maka berteriaklah ia: "Bapaku, bapaku! Kereta Israel dan orang-orangnya yang berkuda!" Kemudian tidak dilihatnya lagi, lalu direnggutkannya pakaiannya dan dikoyakkannya menjadi dua koyakan.
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].
Sesudah itu dipungutnya jubah Elia yang telah terjatuh, lalu ia berjalan hendak pulang dan berdiri di tepi sungai Yordan.
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.
Ia mengambil jubah Elia yang telah terjatuh itu, dipukulkannya ke atas air itu sambil berseru: "Di manakah TUHAN, Allah Elia?" Ia memukul air itu, lalu terbagi ke sebelah sini dan ke sebelah sana, maka menyeberanglah Elisa.
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.
Ketika rombongan nabi yang dari Yerikho itu melihat dia dari jauh, mereka berkata: "Roh Elia telah hinggap pada Elisa." Mereka datang menemui dia, lalu sujudlah mereka kepadanya sampai ke tanah.
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.”
Mereka berkata: "Coba lihat! Di antara hamba-hambamu ini ada lima puluh orang laki-laki, orang-orang tangkas. Biarlah mereka itu pergi mencari tuanmu, jangan-jangan ia diangkat oleh Roh TUHAN dan dilemparkan-Nya ke atas salah satu gunung atau ke dalam salah satu lembah." Elisa menjawab: "Janganlah suruh pergi!"
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.
Tetapi ketika mereka mendesak-desak dia sampai memalukan, maka berkatalah ia: "Suruhlah pergi!" Mereka menyuruh lima puluh orang. Orang-orang ini mencari tiga hari lamanya, tetapi tidak bertemu dengan Elia.
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]
Ketika mereka kembali kepada Elisa yang masih tinggal di kota Yerikho, berkatalah ia kepada mereka: "Bukankah telah kukatakan kepadamu: Jangan pergi?"
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.”
Berkatalah penduduk kota itu kepada Elisa: "Cobalah lihat! Letaknya kota ini baik, seperti tuanku lihat, tetapi airnya tidak baik dan di negeri ini sering ada keguguran bayi."
20 Elisha said to them, “Put some salt in a new bowl and bring the bowl to me.” So they brought it to him.
Jawabnya: "Ambillah sebuah pinggan baru bagiku dan taruhlah garam ke dalamnya." Maka mereka membawa pinggan itu kepadanya.
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]
Kemudian pergilah ia ke mata air mereka dan melemparkan garam itu ke dalamnya serta berkata: "Beginilah firman TUHAN: Telah Kusehatkan air ini, maka tidak akan terjadi lagi olehnya kematian atau keguguran bayi."
22 And the water became pure, just as Elisha said it would be. Since that time it has always remained pure.
Demikianlah air itu menjadi sehat sampai hari ini sesuai dengan firman yang telah disampaikan Elisa.
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!”
Elisa pergi dari sana ke Betel. Dan sedang ia mendaki, maka keluarlah anak-anak dari kota itu, lalu mencemoohkan dia serta berseru kepadanya: "Naiklah botak, naiklah botak!"
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.
Lalu berpalinglah ia ke belakang, dan ketika ia melihat mereka, dikutuknyalah mereka demi nama TUHAN. Maka keluarlah dua ekor beruang dari hutan, lalu mencabik-cabik dari mereka empat puluh dua orang anak.
25 Elisha left Bethel and went to Carmel Mountain, and after that he returned to Samaria [city].
Dari sana pergilah ia ke gunung Karmel dan dari sana pula kembalilah ia ke Samaria.
