2 Kings 2
1 When Yahweh was about to take Elijah up by a whirlwind into heaven, Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
Evo što se dogodilo kad je Jahve uznio Iliju na nebo u vihoru: Ilija i Elizej pošli iz Gilgala.
2 Elijah said to Elisha, “Please wait here, for Yahweh has sent me as far as Bethel.” Elisha said, “As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel.
I reče Ilija Elizeju: “Ostani ovdje jer me Jahve šalje do Betela.” Elizej odgovori: “Života mi Jahvina i tvoga: ja te neću ostaviti!” I siđoše do Betela.
3 The sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, “Do you know that Yahweh will take away your master from over you today?” He said, “Yes, I know it. Hold your peace.”
A proročki sinovi koji su boravili u Betelu iziđoše Elizeju u susret i rekoše mu: “Znaš li da će danas Jahve uzeti tvoga gospodara iznad tvoje glave?” On reče: “I ja to znam; tiho!”
4 Elijah said to him, “Elisha, please wait here, for Yahweh has sent me to Jericho.” He said, “As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” So they came to Jericho.
Ilija mu reče: “Elizeju! Ostani ipak ovdje jer me Jahve šalje do Jerihona.” Ali on odgovori: “Života mi Jahvina i tvoga: ja te neću ostaviti!” I uđoše u Jerihon.
5 The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came near to Elisha, and said to him, “Do you know that Yahweh will take away your master from over you today?” He answered, “Yes, I know it. Hold your peace.”
Proročki sinovi koji su živjeli u Jerihonu priđoše Elizeju i rekoše mu: “Znaš li da će danas Jahve uzeti tvoga gospodara iznad tvoje glave?” On reče: “I ja to znam; tiho!”
6 Elijah said to him, “Please wait here, for Yahweh has sent me to the Jordan.” He said, “As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” Then they both went on.
Ilija mu reče: “Ostani ipak ovdje jer me Jahve šalje do Jordana.” Ali on odgovori: “Života mi Jahvina i tvoga: ja te neću ostaviti!” I tako pođoše obojica.
7 Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both stood by the Jordan.
I pedeset proročkih sinova pođe i zaustavi se podalje, dok su se njih dvojica zadržala na obali Jordana.
8 Elijah took his mantle, and rolled it up, and struck the waters; and they were divided here and there, so that they both went over on dry ground.
Tada Ilija uze svoj ogrtač, smota ga i udari njime po vodi, a voda se razdijeli na dvije strane. I obojica prijeđoše po suhu.
9 When they had gone over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you.” Elisha said, “Please let a double portion of your spirit be on me.”
A kad prijeđoše, Ilija će Elizeju: “Traži što da ti još učinim prije nego što budem uznesen ispred tebe!” A Elizej odgovori: “Neka mi u dio padne obilje tvoga duha!”
10 He said, “You have asked a hard thing. If you see me when I am taken from you, it will be so for you; but if not, it will not be so.”
Ilija odgovori: “Mnogo tražiš: ako me budeš vidio kad budem uznesen ispred tebe, bit će ti tako; ako pak ne budeš vidio, neće ti biti.”
11 As they continued on and talked, behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
I dok su tako išli i razgovarali, gle: ognjena kola i ognjeni konji stadoše među njih i Ilija u vihoru uziđe na nebo.
12 Elisha saw it, and he cried, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” He saw him no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces.
Elizej je gledao i vikao: “Oče moj, oče moj! Kola Izraelova i konjanici njegovi!” I više ga nije vidio. Uze tada svoje haljine i razdera ih nadvoje.
13 He also took up Elijah’s mantle that fell from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan.
I podiže Ilijin plašt, koji bijaše pao s njega, te se vrati i zaustavi se na obali Jordana.
14 He took Elijah’s mantle that fell from him, and struck the waters, and said, “Where is Yahweh, the God of Elijah?” When he also had struck the waters, they were divided apart, and Elisha went over.
Uze onda Ilijin plašt i udari po vodi govoreći: “Gdje je Jahve, Bog Ilijin?” I kad udari po vodi, ona se razdijeli na dvije strane i Elizej prijeđe.
15 When the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho facing him saw him, they said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.” They came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
Proročki su sinovi to sa strane vidjeli pa rekoše: “Duh je Ilijin počinuo na Elizeju!” I krenuše mu u susret, baciše se pred njim na zemlju
16 They said to him, “See now, there are with your servants fifty strong men. Please let them go and seek your master. Perhaps Yahweh’s Spirit has taken him up, and put him on some mountain or into some valley.” He said, “Don’t send them.”
i rekoše mu: “Evo ovdje s tvojim slugama pedeset junaka. Dopusti im da idu tražiti tvoga gospodara; možda ga je Duh Jahvin uzdigao i bacio na koju goru ili u kakvu dolinu.” On im odgovori: “Ne šaljite nikoga.”
17 When they urged him until he was ashamed, he said, “Send them.” Therefore they sent fifty men; and they searched for three days, but didn’t find him.
Ali kako su oni svejednako navaljivali, reče im: “Pošaljite!” I poslaše pedesetoricu; tražili su ga tri dana, ali ga nisu našli.
18 They came back to him while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you, ‘Don’t go’?”
Vratiše se Elizeju, koji je ostao u Jerihonu, i on im reče: “Nisam li vam rekao: 'Nemojte ići!'”
19 The men of the city said to Elisha, “Behold, please, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land is barren.”
Ljudi iz grada rekoše Elizeju: “Lijepo je u gradu, kako to može vidjeti i naš gospodar, ali je voda loša i zemlja neplodna.”
20 He said, “Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it.” Then they brought it to him.
On reče: “Donesite mi novu zdjelu i metnite soli u nju!” I oni mu je donesoše.
21 He went out to the spring of the waters, and threw salt into it, and said, “Yahweh says, ‘I have healed these waters. There shall not be from there any more death or barren wasteland.’”
On tada ode na izvor, baci u nj soli i reče: “Ovako govori Jahve: 'Ozdravljam ovu vodu. Neće od nje više biti ni smrti ni neplodnosti.'”
22 So the waters were healed to this day, according to Elisha’s word which he spoke.
I voda postade zdrava i takva je do današnjeg dana, po riječi koju je izrekao Elizej.
23 He went up from there to Bethel. As he was going up by the way, some youths came out of the city and mocked him, and said to him, “Go up, you baldy! Go up, you baldy!”
Odatle je uzašao u Betel. Dok je išao putem, dječaci bijahu izišli iz grada i rugahu mu se govoreći: “Hodi, ćelo! Hodi, ćelo!”
24 He looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in Yahweh’s name. Then two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of those youths.
On se obazre, pogleda ih i prokle ih u ime Jahvino. I odmah iziđoše dva medvjeda iz šume i rastrgaše četrdeset i dvoje djece.
25 He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
Odatle ode on na goru Karmel, a odande se vrati u Samariju.
