2 Kings 2
1 So it came about, when Yahweh was going to take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah left with Elisha from Gilgal.
BOEIPA loh Elijah te vaan hlipuei neh a khuen ham a om coeng dongah Elijah neh Elisha te Gilgal lamloh cet rhoi.
2 Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here, please, because Yahweh has sent me to Bethel.” Elisha replied, “As Yahweh lives, and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel.
Te vaengah Elijah loh Elisha te, “He ah ana om dae, BOEIPA loh kai Bethel la n'tueih,” a ti nah. Tedae Elisha loh, “BOEIPA kah hingnah neh na hinglu kah hingnah vanbangla nang kan toeng mahpawh,” a ti nah dongah Bethel la suntla rhoi.
3 The sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that Yahweh will take away your master from you today?” Elisha replied, “Yes, I know it, but do not talk about it.”
Te vaengah Bethel kah tonghma ca rhoek te Elisha taengla pawk uh tih amah te, “BOEIPA loh na boei te na lu so lamloh a loh ham khohnin te na ming a?” a ti nauh. Tedae, “Ka ming ngawn, duem om uh,” a ti nah.
4 Elijah said to him, “Elisha, wait here, please, for Yahweh has sent me to Jericho.” Then Elisha replied, “As Yahweh lives, and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went to Jericho.
Te phoeiah Elijah loh anih te, “Elisha, heah om laeh, BOEIPA loh kai Jerikho la n'tueih,” a ti nah. Te vaengah BOEIPA kah hingnah neh na hinglu kah hingnah bangla nang kan toeng mahpawh,” a ti nah dongah Jerikho la cet rhoi.
5 Then the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that Yahweh will take away your master from you today?” Elisha answered, “Yes, I know it, but do not talk about it.”
Te vaengah Jerikho kah tonghma ca rhoek te Elisha taengla thoeih uh tih amah te, “BOEIPA loh na boei te na lu so lamloh a loh ham khohnin te na ming a?” a ti nauh. Tedae, “Ka ming ngawn, duem om uh,” a ti nah.
6 Then Elijah said to him, “Stay here, please, for Yahweh has sent me to the Jordan.” Elisha replied, “As Yahweh lives, and as you live, I will not leave you.” So the two went on.
Te vaengah Elijah loh anih te, “Heah ana om dae, BOEIPA loh kai Jordan la n'tueih,” a ti nah. Tedae, “BOEIPA kah hingnah neh na hinglu kah hingnah vanbangla nang kan toeng mahpawh,” a ti nah dongah rhen cet rhoi.
7 Later, fifty of the sons of the prophets stood opposite them at a distance while the two stood by the Jordan.
Te vaengah tonghma ca rhoek hlang sawmnga te cet uh tih rhaldan ah a hla la pai uh. Tedae amih rhoi te Jordan ah pai rhoi.
8 Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up, and struck the water with it. The river divided on both sides so that the two of them walked over on dry ground.
Elijah loh a himbai te a loh tih a tlaep phoeiah tui te a boh hatah khatben khatbang la phih uh tih amih rhoi te lanhak dongah kat rhoi.
9 It came about, after they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask me what I should do for you before I am taken from you.” Elisha replied, “Please let a double portion of your spirit come on me.”
Te tlam te om tih a kat rhoi vaengah Elijah loh Elisha te, “Nang taeng lamloh n'loh tom ah nang ham balae kan saii eh thui lah?” a ti nah. Elisha loh, “Nang kah mueihla rhaep nit te kai hamla om pawn laeh saeh,” a ti nah.
10 Elijah answered, “You have asked for a difficult thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, this will happen for you, but if not, it will not happen.”
Te dongah, “Na bih tih kai nan nan coeng, nang taeng lamloh kai n'loh te na hmuh atah he he nang ham om bitni. Tedae nan hmuh pawt atah om van mahpawh,” a ti nah.
11 As they still went on and talked, behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared, which separated the two men from each other, and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
Amih rhoi te a caeh doe a caeh doela a cal rhoi vaengah hmai leng neh hmai marhang loh amih rhoi laklo ah tarha a phih tih Elijah te vaan hlipuei khuila cet.
12 Elisha saw it and cried out, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and their horsemen!” He saw Elijah no more, and he took hold of his own clothes and tore them into two pieces.
Elisha loh a hmuh vaengah, “A pa, a pa, Israel kah leng neh a marhang caem,” tila pang. Anih te a hmuh voel pawt dongah amah himbai te a tuuk tih hnipen panit la a phen.
13 He picked up Elijah's cloak that had fallen off him, and went back to stand by the bank of the Jordan.
A so lamkah aka tla Elijah kah himbai te a rhuh phoeiah tah cet tih Jordan tuikaeng ah pai.
14 He struck the water with Elijah's cloak that had fallen and said, “Where is Yahweh, the God of Elijah?” When he had struck the waters, they divided on both sides and Elisha crossed over.
A so lamkah aka tla Elijah kah himbai te a loh phoeiah tui te a boh tih, “Elijah kah Pathen BOEIPA te melae?” a ti. Tui te a boh van vaengah khatben khatbang la phih uh tih Elisha te kat.
15 When the sons of the prophets who were from Jericho saw him across from them, they said, “The spirit of Elijah does rest on Elisha!” So they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
Te vaengah rhaldan Jerikho lamkah tonghma ca rhoek loh anih te a sawt uh tih, “Elijah kah mueihla tah Elisha soah om,” a ti uh. Te phoeiah anih doe hamla cet uh tih a hmaiah diklai la bakop uh.
16 They said to him, “See now, among your servants there are fifty strong men. Let them go, we ask, and look for your master, in case the Spirit of Yahweh has taken him up and thrown him onto some mountain or into some valley.” Elisha answered, “No, do not send them.”
Te phoeiah a taengah, “Tatthai ca rhoek hlang sawmnga he na sal rhoek neh om pueng he. Cet uh laeh vetih na boei rhoek te ka tlap uh mako. BOEIPA Mueihla loh anih a pom tih tlang pakhat ah nim, kolrhawk khuikah kolrhawk pakhat ah nim a voeih ve,” a ti nauh. Tedae, “Tueih boeh,” a ti nah.
17 But when they urged Elisha until he was ashamed, he said, “Send them.” Then they sent fifty men, and they looked for three days, but did not find him.
Tedae anih te a yah hil a hloep uh dongah, “Tueih uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah hlang sawmnga a tueih uh tih hnin thum a tlap uh dae hmu uh pawh.
18 They came back to Elisha, while he stayed at Jericho, and he said to them, “Did I not say to you, 'Do not go'?”
Elisha taengla a mael uh vaengah tah anih te Jerikho ah om pueng tih amih te, “Nangmih te caeh pawt ham ka thui pawt nim?” a ti nah.
19 The men of the city said to Elisha, “See, we beg of you, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my master can see, but the water is bad and the land is not fruitful.”
Te vaengah khopuei kah hlang rhoek loh Elisha taengah, “Ka boeipa aw, na hmuh bangla khopuei tolrhum tah then coeng he, tedae tui thae tih diklai khaw hi,” a ti uh.
20 Elisha replied, “Bring me a new bowl and put salt in it,” so they brought it to him.
Te dongah lungkaehkhoe a thai pakhat te kai taengla hang khuen uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah lungkaeh pahoi a poep thil uh tih a taengla a khuen pauh.
21 Elisha went out to the spring of water and threw salt in it; then he said, “Yahweh says this, 'I have healed these waters. From this time on, there will be no more death or unfruitful land.'”
Tui sae la a khuen tih lungkaeh te a phul phoeiah, “BOEIPA loh he ni a thui, he tui he ka hoeih sak coeng, he lamlong tah dueknah neh thangyah khaw om voel mahpawh,” a ti nah.
22 So the waters were healed to this day, by the word which Elisha spoke.
Elisha kah a thui ol bangla tahae khohnin hil tui te hoeih.
23 Then Elisha went up from there to Bethel. As he was going up the road, young boys came out of the city and mocked him; they said to him, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!”
Te phoeiah Bethel lamloh pahoi cet tih longpueng ah a caeh vaengah khopuei lamkah cadong ca rhoek te ha pawk uh. Anih te a soehsal uh tih, “Lukoelh cet laeh, lukoelh cet laeh,” a ti nauh.
24 Elisha looked behind him and saw them; he called on Yahweh to curse them. Then two female bears came out of the woods and injured forty-two of the boys.
A hnuk la mael tih amih te a hmuh vaengah amih te BOEIPA ming neh a kosi nah. Te dongah duup lamkah vom pumnit ha pawk tih camoe sawmli panit te a phuet.
25 Then Elisha went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
Te lamloh Karmel tlang la cet tih te lamloh Samaria la mael.
