2 Kings 2
1 And it cometh to pass, at Jehovah's taking up Elijah in a whirlwind to the heavens, that Elijah goeth, and Elisha, from Gilgal,
Esi ɣeyiɣia de be Yehowa nakɔ Eliya ayi dziƒo le ahomya me la, Eliya kple Elisa dze mɔ tso Gilgal.
2 and Elijah saith unto Elisha, 'Abide, I pray thee, here, for Jehovah hath sent me unto Beth-El;' and Elisha saith, 'Jehovah liveth, and thy soul liveth, if I leave thee;' and they go down to Beth-El.
Eliya gblɔ na Elisa be, “Nɔ afi sia; Yehowa ɖom ɖe Betel.” Ke Elisa gblɔ be, “Meta Yehowa ƒe agbe kple wò agbe be nyemagblẽ wò ɖi o.” Ale woyi Betel.
3 And sons of the prophets who [are] in Beth-El come out unto Elisha, and say unto him, 'Hast thou known that to-day Jehovah is taking thy lord from thy head?' and he saith, 'I also have known — keep silent.'
Nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo tso Betel va do go Elisa eye wobia Elisa be, “Ènya be Yehowa akɔ wò aƒetɔ adzoe le gbɔwò egbea?” Elisa ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ɛ̃, menya gake migagblɔe o.”
4 And Elijah saith to him, 'Elisha, abide, I pray thee, here, for Jehovah hath sent me to Jericho;' and he saith, 'Jehovah liveth, and thy soul liveth, if I leave thee;' and they come in to Jericho.
Tete Eliya gblɔ nɛ be “Elisa, nɔ afi sia elabena Yehowa dɔm ɖe Yeriko.” Ke Elisa gaɖo eŋu be, “Meta Yehowa ƒe agbe kple wò agbe be nyemagblẽ wò ɖi o.” Ale wo ame eve la yi Yeriko.
5 And sons of the prophets who [are] in Jericho come nigh unto Elisha, and say unto him, 'Hast thou known that to-day Jehovah is taking thy lord from thy head?' and he saith, 'I also have known — keep silent.'
Nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe nusrɔ̃la siwo nɔ Yeriko la va bia Elisa be, “Ènya be Yehowa le wò aƒetɔ kplɔ ge adzoe le gbɔwò egbea?” Elisa ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ɛ̃, menya eya ta mizi ɖoɖoe!”
6 And Elijah saith to him, 'Abide, I pray thee, here, for Jehovah hath sent me to the Jordan;' and he saith, 'Jehovah liveth, and thy soul liveth, if I leave thee;' and they go on both of them,
Eliya gblɔ na Elisa be, “Nɔ afi sia; Yehowa ɖom ɖe Yɔdan tɔsisi la nu.” Elisa ɖo eŋu be, “Meta Yehowa kple wò agbe be nyemagblẽ wò ɖi o.” Ale wo ame eve la yi mɔzɔzɔa dzi.
7 — and fifty men of the sons of the prophets have gone on, and stand over-against afar off — and both of them have stood by the Jordan.
Nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe nusrɔ̃la blaatɔ̃ yi ɖatsi tsitre ɖe adzɔge eye wodze ŋgɔ afi si Eliya kple Elisa tɔ ɖo le Yɔdan tɔsisi la nu.
8 And Elijah taketh his robe, and wrappeth [it] together, and smiteth the waters, and they are halved, hither and thither, and they pass over both of them on dry land.
Eliya ɖe eƒe awu ʋlaya, ŋlɔe eye wòtsɔe ƒo tsi la dzi. Tsi la ma ɖe eve le ɖusime kple miame eye wo kple evea wotsoe le anyigba ƒuƒui dzi.
9 And it cometh to pass, at their passing over, that Elijah hath said unto Elisha, 'Ask, what do I do for thee before I am taken from thee?' and Elisha saith, 'Then let there be, I pray thee, a double portion of thy spirit unto me;'
Esi woɖo go kemɛ dzi la, Eliya gblɔ na Elisa be, “Gblɔe nam, nu ka mawɔ na wò hafi woakɔm adzoe le gbɔwò?” Elisa ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Meɖe kuku tsɔ wò gbɔgbɔ la ƒe teƒe eve nam.”
10 and he saith, 'Thou hast asked a hard thing; if thou dost see me taken from thee, it is to thee so; and if not, it is not.'
Eliya ɖo eŋu be, “Èbia nu sesẽ, ke hã la, ne àkpɔm esime woakɔm adzoe le gbɔwò la, ava eme na wò, ke ne mele alea o la, mava eme na wò o.”
11 And it cometh to pass, they are going, going on and speaking, and lo, a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and they separate between them both, and Elijah goeth up in a whirlwind, to the heavens.
Esime wonɔ zɔzɔm, nɔ dze ɖom la, dzotasiaɖam kple sɔwo ɖiɖi va ma wo kple evea dome eye Eliya to ahom la me yi dziƒo.
12 And Elisha is seeing, and he is crying, 'My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and its horsemen;' and he hath not seen him again; and he taketh hold on his garments, and rendeth them into two pieces.
Elisa kpɔe eye wòdo ɣli sesĩe be, “Fofonye! Fofonye! Israel ƒe tasiaɖam kple eƒe sɔdolawo!” Esi wobu ɖee la, etsɔ eya ŋutɔ ƒe awu eye wòdzee.
13 And he taketh up the robe of Elijah, that fell from off him, and turneth back and standeth on the edge of the Jordan,
Etsɔ awu si ge le Eliya ŋu eye wòtrɔ yi ɖatsi tsitre ɖe Yɔdan tɔsisi la to.
14 and he taketh the robe of Elijah that fell from off him, and smiteth the waters, and saith, 'Where [is] Jehovah, God of Elijah — even He?' and he smiteth the waters, and they are halved, hither and thither, and Elisha passeth over.
Etsɔ awu si ge le Eliya ŋu la ƒo tsi la dzi. Ebia be, “Afi ka Yehowa, Eliya ƒe Mawu la le azɔ?” Esi wòƒo tsia dzi la, tɔsisi la ma ɖe ɖusime kple miame siaa eye wòtso tɔsisi la.
15 And they see him — the sons of the prophets who [are] in Jericho — over-against, and they say, 'Rested hath the spirit of Elijah on Elisha;' and they come to meet him, and bow themselves to him to the earth,
Esime nyagblɔɖila siwo tso Yeriko la ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo kpɔ nu si dzɔ la, wodo ɣli gblɔ be, “Eliya ƒe gbɔgbɔ dze Elisa dzi!” Wozɔ yi ɖakpee eye wodo gbe nɛ bubutɔe.
16 and say unto him, 'Lo, we pray thee, there are with thy servants fifty men, sons of valour: let them go, we pray thee, and they seek thy lord, lest the Spirit of Jehovah hath taken him up, and doth cast him on one of the hills, or into one of the valleys;' and he saith, 'Ye do not send.'
Wogblɔ nɛ be, “Amegã, ɖe gbe na mí ko, ekema míaƒe duƒula nyuitɔwo dometɔ blaatɔ̃ ayi gbedzi aɖadi wò amegã; ɖewohĩ Yehowa ƒe gbɔgbɔ gblẽe ɖe to aɖe dzi loo alo gblẽe ɖe balime le afi aɖe.” Ke Elisa ɖo eŋu be, “Ao, migaɖe fu na mia ɖokuiwo o.”
17 And they press upon him, till he is ashamed, and he saith, 'Send ye;' and they send fifty men, and they seek three days, and have not found him;
Ke wonɔ nya sia ƒom ɖe enu va se ɖe esime nya la tii eye wògblɔ be, “Enyo, miyi!” Ale ame blaatɔ̃awo yi ɖadii ŋkeke etɔ̃, ke womekpɔe o.
18 and they turn back unto him — and he is abiding in Jericho — and he saith unto them, 'Did I not say unto you, Do not go?'
Elisa ganɔ Yeriko esime ameawo trɔ gbɔ. Egblɔ na wo be, “Ɖe nyemegblɔe na mi be migayi oa?”
19 And the men of the city say unto Elisha, 'Lo, we pray thee, the site of the city [is] good, as my lord seeth, and the waters [are] bad, and the earth sterile.'
Azɔ la, Yeriko dumegãwo va kpɔ Elisa eye wogblɔ nɛ be, “Nane le fu ɖem na mí. Wò ŋutɔ ènya be wotso du sia ɖe teƒe nyui aɖe, ke míaƒe tsi menyo o, eye wònana fu gena le míaƒe funɔwo ƒo.”
20 And he saith, 'Bring to me a new dish, and place there salt;' and they bring [it] unto him,
Elisa gblɔ na wo be, “Enyo, miku dze ɖe agba yeye aɖe me vɛ nam.” Wowɔ nenema.
21 and he goeth out unto the source of the waters, and casteth there salt, and saith, 'Thus said Jehovah, I have given healing to these waters; there is not thence any more death and sterility.'
Elisa yi tsi la ƒe dzɔtsoƒe, tsɔ dze la kɔ ɖe eme eye wògblɔ be, “Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, ‘Mewɔ tsi sia kɔkɔe eye magahe ku alo fu gege vɛ azɔ o.’”
22 And the waters are healed unto this day, according to the word of Elisha, that he spake.
Kpɔ ɖa, tsi la trɔ zu tsi nyui enumake tso ɣe ma ɣi va se ɖe fifia abe ale si Elisa gblɔ ene.
23 And he goeth up thence to Beth-El, and he is going up in the way, and little youths have come out from the city, and scoff at him, and say to him, 'Go up, bald-head! go up, bald-head!'
Elisa tso Yeriko yi Betel. Esi wònɔ zɔzɔm le mɔa dzi la, ŋutsuvi sue aɖewo tso dua me va nɔ fewu ɖum le eŋu be, “Dzo le afi sia, Elisa tabebetɔ.”
24 And he looketh behind him, and seeth them, and declareth them vile in the name of Jehovah, and two bears come out of the forest, and rend of them forty and two lads.
Elisa trɔ kpɔ wo eye wòƒo fi de wo le Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ me. Enumake sisiblisinɔ eve do go tso ave aɖe me va vuvu wo ame blaene-vɔ-eve.
25 And he goeth thence unto the hill of Carmel, and thence he hath turned back to Samaria.
Esia megbe la, Elisa yi Karmel to la dzi hafi trɔ yi Samaria.
