1 Esi ɣeyiɣia de be Yehowa nakɔ Eliya ayi dziƒo le ahomya me la, Eliya kple Elisa dze mɔ tso Gilgal.
It happened, when YHWH would take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
2 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.
Elijah said to Elisha, "Please wait here, for YHWH has sent me as far as Bethel." Elisha said, "As YHWH lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." So they went down to Bethel.
3 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.”
The sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, "Do you know that YHWH will take away your master from your head today?" He said, "Yes, I know it; hold your peace."
4 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.
Elijah said to him, "Elisha, please wait here, for YHWH has sent me to Jericho." He said, "As YHWH lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." So they came to Jericho.
5 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!”
The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came near to Elisha, and said to him, "Do you know that YHWH will take away your master from your head today?" He answered, "Yes, I know it. Hold your peace."
6 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.
Elijah said to him, "Please wait here, for YHWH has sent me to the Jordan." He said, "As YHWH lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." They both went on.
7 Nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe nusrɔ̃la blaatɔ̃ yi ɖatsi tsitre ɖe adzɔge eye wodze ŋgɔ afi si Eliya kple Elisa tɔ ɖo le Yɔdan tɔsisi la nu.
Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both stood by the Jordan.
8 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.
Elijah took his cloak, and wrapped it together, and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that the two of them went over on dry ground.
9 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.”
It happened, when they had gone over, that 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."
10 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.”
He said, "You have asked a hard thing. If you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so."
11 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.
It happened, as they still went on, and talked, that look, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
12 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.
Elisha saw it, and he cried, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen." He saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and tore them in two pieces.
13 Etsɔ awu si ge le Eliya ŋu eye wòtrɔ yi ɖatsi tsitre ɖe Yɔdan tɔsisi la to.
And he picked up the cloak of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of the Jordan.
14 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.
And he took the cloak of Elijah that fell from him, and struck the water, and it did not divide. And he said, "Where is YHWH, the God of Elijah, even he?" And he struck the water a second time, and they divided to the one side and to the other; and Elisha crossed over.
15 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.
When the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho over against 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.
16 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.”
And they said to him, "See now, there are with your servants fifty strong men. Please let them go and seek your master. Perhaps the Spirit of YHWH has taken him up and thrown him into the Jordan, or on some mountain, or into some valley." And he said, "Do not send them."
17 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.
When they urged him until he was ashamed, he said, "Send them." They sent therefore fifty men; and they searched for three days, but did not find him.
18 Elisa ganɔ Yeriko esime ameawo trɔ gbɔ. Egblɔ na wo be, “Ɖe nyemegblɔe na mi be migayi oa?”
They came back to him, while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, "Did I not tell you not to go?"
19 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.”
The men of the city said to Elisha, "Look, please, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land miscarries."
20 Elisa gblɔ na wo be, “Enyo, miku dze ɖe agba yeye aɖe me vɛ nam.” Wowɔ nenema.
He said, "Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it." They brought it to him.
21 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.’”
He went out to the spring of the waters, and threw salt into it, and said, "Thus says YHWH, 'I have healed these waters. There shall not be from there any more death or miscarrying.'"
22 Kpɔ ɖa, tsi la trɔ zu tsi nyui enumake tso ɣe ma ɣi va se ɖe fifia abe ale si Elisa gblɔ ene.
So the waters were healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.
23 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.”
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 baldhead."
24 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.
He looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the name of YHWH. Two female bears came out of the woods, and mauled forty-two of those youths.
25 Esia megbe la, Elisa yi Karmel to la dzi hafi trɔ yi Samaria.
He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
