2 Kings 2
1 And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
Factum est autem, cum levare vellet Dominus Eliam per turbinem in caelum, ibant Elias et Eliseus de Galgalis.
2 And Elijah said to Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel.
Dixitque Elias ad Eliseum: Sede hic, quia Dominus misit me usque in Bethel. Cui ait Eliseus: Vivit Dominus, et vivit anima tua, quia non derelinquam te. Cumque descendissent Bethel,
3 And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said to him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.
egressi sunt filii prophetarum, qui erant in Bethel, ad Eliseum, et dixerunt ei: Numquid nosti, quia hodie Dominus tollet dominum tuum a te? Qui respondit: Et ego novi: silete.
4 And Elijah said to him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.
Dixit autem Elias ad Eliseum: Sede hic, quia Dominus misit me in Iericho. Et ille ait: Vivit Dominus, et vivit anima tua, quia non derelinquam te. Cumque venissent Iericho,
5 And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said to him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.
accesserunt filii prophetarum, qui erant in Iericho, ad Eliseum, et dixerunt ei: Numquid nosti quia Dominus hodie tollet dominum tuum a te? Et ait: Et ego novi: silete.
6 And Elijah said to him, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on.
Dixit autem ei Elias: Sede hic, quia Dominus misit me usque ad Iordanem. Qui ait: Vivit Dominus, et vivit anima tua, quia non derelinquam te. Ierunt igitur ambo pariter,
7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan.
et quinquaginta viri de filiis prophetarum secuti sunt eos, qui et steterunt econtra, longe: illi autem ambo stabant super Iordanem.
8 And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided to the one side and to the other, so that they two went over on dry ground.
Tulitque Elias pallium suum, et involvit illud, et percussit aquas, quae divisae sunt in utramque partem, et transierunt ambo per siccum.
9 And it came to pass, when they had gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I am taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
Cumque transissent, Elias dixit ad Eliseum: Postula quod vis ut faciam tibi, antequam tollar a te. Dixitque Eliseus: Obsecro ut fiat in me duplex spiritus tuus.
10 And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou shalt see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so to thee; but if not, it shall not be so.
Qui respondit: Rem difficilem postulasti: attamen si videris me, quando tollar a te, erit tibi quod petisti: si autem non videris, non erit.
11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and separated them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
Cumque pergerent, et incedentes sermocinarentur, ecce currus igneus, et equi ignei diviserunt utrumque: et ascendit Elias per turbinem in caelum,
12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and its horsemen. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and tore them in two pieces.
Eliseus autem videbat, et clamabat: Pater mi, pater mi, currus Israel, et auriga eius. Et non vidit eum amplius: apprehenditque vestimenta sua, et scidit illa in duas partes.
13 He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;
Et levavit pallium Eliae, quod ceciderat ei: reversusque stetit super ripam Iordanis,
14 And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted to the one side and to the other: and Elisha went over.
et pallio Eliae, quod ceciderat ei, percussit aquas, et non sunt divisae. et dixit: Ubi est Deus Eliae etiam nunc? Percussitque aquas, et divisae sunt huc, atque illuc, et transiit Eliseus.
15 And when the sons of the prophets who were looking on at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
Videntes autem filii prophetarum, qui erant in Iericho econtra, dixerunt: Requievit spiritus Eliae super Eliseum. Et venientes in occursum eius, adoraverunt eum proni in terram,
16 And they said to him, Behold now, there are with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master: lest perhaps the Spirit of the LORD hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send.
dixeruntque illi: Ecce, cum servis tuis sunt quinquaginta viri fortes, qui possunt ire, et quaerere dominum tuum, ne forte tulerit eum Spiritus Domini, et proiecerit eum in unum montium, aut in unam vallium. Qui ait: Nolite mittere.
17 And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not.
Coegeruntque eum, donec acquiesceret, et diceret: Mittite. Et miserunt quinquaginta viros: qui cum quaesissent tribus diebus, non invenerunt.
18 And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho, ) he said to them, Did I not say to you, Go not?
Et reversi sunt ad eum: at ille habitabat in Iericho, et dixit eis: Numquid non dixi vobis: Nolite mittere?
19 And the men of the city said to Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is bad, and the ground barren.
Dixerunt quoque viri civitatis ad Eliseum: Ecce habitatio civitatis huius optima est, sicut tu ipse domine perspicis: sed aquae pessimae sunt, et terra sterilis.
20 And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt in it. And they brought it to him.
At ille ait: Afferte mihi vas novum, et mittite in illud sal. Quod cum attulissent,
21 And he went forth to the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from there any more death or barren land.
egressus ad fontem aquarum, misit in illum sal, et ait: Haec dicit Dominus: Sanavi aquas has, et non erit ultra in eis mors, neque sterilitas.
22 So the waters were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke.
Sanatae sunt ergo aquae usque in diem hanc, iuxta verbum Elisei, quod locutus est.
23 And he went up from there to Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth youths out of the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
Ascendit autem inde in Bethel: cumque ascenderet per viam, pueri parvi egressi sunt de civitate, et illudebant ei, dicentes: Ascende calve, ascende calve.
24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tore forty and two youths of them.
Qui cum respexisset, vidit eos, et maledixit eis in nomine Domini: egressique sunt duo ursi de saltu, et laceraverunt ex eis quadraginta duos pueros.
25 And he went from there to mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
Abiit autem inde in montem Carmeli, et inde reversus est in Samariam.
