< 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].
Oo markii Rabbigu doonayay inuu Eliiyaah samada dabayl cirwareen ah ugu qaado ayaa Eliiyaah wuxuu Gilgaal ka raacay Eliishaa.
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.
Markaasaa Eliiyaah wuxuu Eliishaa ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye halkan iska joog, waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu ii diray tan iyo Beytel. Oo Eliishaana wuxuu yidhi, Waxaan ku dhaartay Rabbiga noloshiisa iyo adiga naftaadee inaanan kaa tagayn. Sidaas daraaddeed waxay ku wada dhaadhaceen Beytel.
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]
Oo qoonkii nebiyada ahaa oo Beytel joogay ayaa Eliishaa u soo baxay, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, War ma og tahay in Rabbigu maanta sayidkaaga kaa qaadi doono? Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Haah, waan ogahaye iska aamusa.
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].
Markaasaa Eliiyaah wuxuu ku yidhi isagii, Eliishaa, waan ku baryayaaye halkan iska joog, waayo, Rabbigu haddana wuxuu ii diray Yerixoo. Oo isna wuxuu yidhi, Waxaan ku dhaartay Rabbiga noloshiisa iyo adiga naftaadee inaanan kaa tagayn. Sidaas daraaddeed waxay yimaadeen Yerixoo.
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]
Oo haddana qoonkii nebiyada ahaa oo Yerixoo joogay ayaa Eliishaa u soo dhowaaday, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, War ma og tahay in Rabbigu maanta sayidkaaga kaa qaadi doono? Oo isna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Haah, waan ogahaye iska aamusa.
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.
Markaasaa Eliiyaah wuxuu ku yidhi isagii, Waan ku baryayaaye halkan iska joog, waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu ii diray Webi Urdun. Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaan ku dhaartay nolosha Rabbiga iyo adiga naftaadee inaanan kaa tagayn. Markaasay labadiiba israaceen.
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].
Oo waxaa tegey konton nin oo qoonkii nebiyada ahaa ah, oo waxay istaageen meel hortooda ah oo cabbaar ka fog; oo labadoodiina waxay istaageen Webi Urdun agtiisa.
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.
Markaasaa Eliiyaah go'iisii qaaday oo duudduubay, oo biyihii ku dhuftay, iyana xagga iyo xagga ayay u kala qaybsameen, sidaas daraaddeed labadoodiiba waxay mareen dhul engegan.
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).”
Oo haddana markii ay ka gudbeen, Eliiyaah wuxuu Eliishaa ku yidhi, War intaan layga kaa qaadin ka hor i weyddiiso wax aan kuu sameeyo. Markaasaa Eliishaa yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye ruuxaaga labanlaabkiis ha igu soo dego.
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.”
Isna wuxuu yidhi, Wax aad u adag baad i weyddiisatay; habase yeeshee haddaad i aragtid markii layga kaa qaado, sidaasay kuu ahaanaysaa, haddii kalese saas ahaan mayso.
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).
Oo intii ay sii socdeen, oo ay sheekaysanayeen ayaa waxaa u muuqday gaadhifaras dab ah iyo fardo dab ah, oo labadoodii bay kala dhex mareen, markaasaa Eliiyaah wuxuu kor u raacay dabayl cirwareen ah oo wuxuu galay samada.
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].
Oo Eliishaana taas wuu arkay, oo wuxuu ku qayliyey, Aabbow, Aabbow, gaadhifardoodkii dadkii Israa'iil iyo raggoodii fardooleyda ahaa! Oo isna mar dambe uma uu jeedin; oo dharkiisii buu intuu ku dhegay laba inood u kala jeexay.
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].
Markaasuu qaaday Eliiyaah go'iisii ka dhacay, oo dib buu u noqday oo soo istaagay Webi Urdun qarkiisa.
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.
Oo wuxuu qaaday Eliiyaah go'iisii ka dhacay, oo intuu biyihii ku dhuftay ayuu yidhi, Meeh Rabbiga ah Ilaaha Eliiyaah? Oo markuu biyihii ku dhuftay ayay xagga iyo xagga u kala qaybsameen; markaasaa Eliishaa ka gudbay.
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.
Oo qoonkii nebiyada ahaa oo Yerixoo joogay ee isaga ka soo hor jeeday markay arkeen waxay yidhaahdeen, Eliiyaah ruuxiisii wuxuu ku dul hadhay Eliishaa. Oo intay isagii ka hor yimaadeen ayay hortiisa ku sujuudeen.
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.”
Oo iyana waxay isagii ku yidhaahdeen, War waannu ku baryaynaaye annagoo addoommadaada ah waxaa nala jira konton nin oo xoog leh, haddaba iyagu ha tageen oo sayidkaagii ha dooneen, waayo, waaba intaasoo Ruuxa Rabbigu isagii qaaday, oo uu ku xooray buur dusheed ama dooxo. Oo isna wuxuu yidhi, Waa inaydaan cid dirin.
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.
Oo way ku sii adkeeyeen ilaa uu xishooday, kolkaasuu yidhi, Dira. Sidaas daraaddeed waxay direen konton nin; oo waxay isagii doondoonayeen saddex maalmood, laakiinse sooma ay helin.
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]
Markaasay u soo noqdeen isagoo weli Yerixoo iska jooga; oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Sow idinkuma odhan, Ha tegina?
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.”
Markaasaa dadkii magaaladu waxay Eliishaa ku yidhaahdeen, Waannu ku baryaynaaye bal eeg, meeshay magaaladanu taal way wanaagsan tahay sidaad aragto, sayidkayagow, laakiinse biyuhu way xun yihiin, oo dhulkuna si wanaagsan wax uma bixiyo.
20 Elisha said to them, “Put some salt in a new bowl and bring the bowl to me.” So they brought it to him.
Isna wuxuu yidhi, Waxaad ii keentaan weel cusub oo cusbo ku soo shuba. Oo iyana way u keeneen.
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]
Oo isna wuxuu tegey ishii biyaha, oo intuu cusbadii ku tuuray ayuu yidhi, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Biyahan waan bogsiiyey. Oo hadda ka dib ma yeelan doonaan dhimasho iyo waxbixinla'aan toona.
22 And the water became pure, just as Elisha said it would be. Since that time it has always remained pure.
Sidaas daraaddeed biyihii way bogsadeen ilaa maantadan la joogo, oo way noqotay sidii eraygii Eliishaa ku hadlay.
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!”
Markaasuu halkaas uga kacay Beytel, oo intuu jidka sii socday ayaa carruur yaryaru magaaladii ka soo baxday oo ku majaajiloodeen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Bidaar weyne bax, bidaar weyne bax.
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.
Oo isna markaasuu gadaashiisa dhugtay oo arkay iyagii, oo magicii Rabbiga ayuu ku habaaray. Markaasaa dhirtii waxaa ka soo baxay laba orso oo dhaddig oo waxay dildillaacsadeen laba iyo afartan carruurtii ka mid ahaa.
25 Elisha left Bethel and went to Carmel Mountain, and after that he returned to Samaria [city].
Oo isna halkaasuu uga kacay Buur Karmel, markaasuu meeshaas uga noqday Samaariya.
