1 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jehova aarĩ hakuhĩ kuoya Elija amũtware igũrũ arĩ thĩinĩ wa kĩhuhũkanio kĩa rũhuho-rĩ, Elija na Elisha maarĩ njĩra-inĩ makiuma Giligali.
And when the Lord would take vp Eliiah into heauen by a whirle winde, Eliiah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
2 Nake Elija akĩĩra Elisha atĩrĩ, “Ikara haha; tondũ Jehova nĩandũmĩte thiĩ Betheli.” Nowe Elisha akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo na o ta ũrĩa ũtũũraga muoyo-rĩ, niĩ ndigũgũtiga” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩikũrũka magĩthiĩ Betheli.
Then Eliiah saide to Elisha, Tarie here, I pray thee: for the Lord hath sent me to Bethel. But Elisha said, As the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth, I will not leaue thee. So they came downe to Beth-el.
3 Hĩndĩ ĩyo thiritũ ya anabii a kũu Betheli magĩũka kũrĩ Elisha, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩũmenyete atĩ Jehova nĩekuoya mwathi waku amweherie harĩwe ũmũthĩ?” Nake Elisha akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ nĩnjũũĩ, no mũtikaarie ũhoro ũcio.”
And the children of the Prophets that were at Beth-el, came out to Elisha, and said vnto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take thy master from thine head this day? And he said, Yea, I knowe it: holde ye your peace.
4 Ningĩ Elija akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Elisha, ikara haha; tondũ Jehova nĩandũmĩte thiĩ Jeriko.” Nake akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo na o ta ũrĩa wee ũtũũraga muoyo-rĩ, niĩ ndigũgũtiga.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩthiĩ Jeriko.
Againe Eliiah saide vnto him, Elisha, tarie here, I pray thee: for the Lord hath sent me to Iericho: But he said, As the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth, I will not leaue thee. So they came to Iericho.
5 Nao andũ a thiritũ ya anabii a kũu Jeriko magĩkora Elisha makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩũmenyete atĩ Jehova nĩekuoya mwathi waku amweherie harĩwe ũmũthĩ?” Nake Elisha akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ nĩnjũũĩ, no mũtikaarie ũhoro ũcio.”
And the children of the Prophets that were at Iericho, came to Elisha, and saide vnto him, Knowest thou, that the Lord will take thy master from thine head this day? And he sayde, Yea, I knowe it: holde ye your peace.
6 Ningĩ Elija akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ikara haha, tondũ Jehova nĩandũmĩte thiĩ Jorodani.” Nake akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo, na o ta ũrĩa wee ũtũũraga muoyo-rĩ, niĩ ndigũgũtiga.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, o eerĩ magĩthiĩ na mbere na rũgendo.
Moreouer Eliiah saide vnto him, Tarie, I pray thee, here: for the Lord hath sent me to Iorden. But he saide, As the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth, I will not leaue thee. So they went both together.
7 Nao andũ mĩrongo ĩtano a thiritũ ya anabii magĩthiĩ makĩrũgama haraaya, marorete harĩa Elija na Elisha maarũngiĩ, hau rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Jorodani.
And fiftie men of the sonnes of the Prophets went and stoode on the other side a farre off, and they two stoode by Iorden.
8 Nake Elija akĩruta nguo yake ya igũrũ, akĩmĩkũnja, akĩgũtha maaĩ nayo. Namo maaĩ makĩgayũkana mwena wa ũrĩo na wa ũmotho, nao eerĩ makĩringĩra thĩ nyũmũ.
Then Eliiah tooke his cloke, and wrapt it together, and smote the waters, and they were deuided hither and thither, and they twaine went ouer on the dry lande.
9 Rĩrĩa maarĩkirie kũringa-rĩ, Elija akĩĩra Elisha atĩrĩ, “Njĩĩra atĩrĩ, nĩatĩa ingĩgwĩkĩra itaaneherio harĩwe?” Nake Elisha akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ngwenda kũgaya hinya wa roho waku maita meerĩ.”
Nowe when they were passed ouer, Eliiah saide vnto Elisha, Aske what I shall doe for thee before I be taken from thee. And Elisha saide, I pray thee, let thy Spirit be double vpon me.
10 Nake Elija akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũcio wahooya nĩ ũndũ mũritũ, no rĩrĩ, wanyona ngĩeherio harĩwe-rĩ, nĩũgũtuĩka waku, no Waga kũnyona ndũgũtuĩka waku.”
And he saide, Thou hast asked an hard thing: yet if thou see me when I am taken from thee, thou shalt haue it so: and if not, it shall not be.
11 Na rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa maatwaranĩte makĩaragia, o rĩmwe ngaari yarĩrĩmbũkaga mwaki na mbarathi ciarĩrĩmbũkaga mwaki ikiumĩra na ikĩmatigithũkania eerĩ, na Elija akĩambata igũrũ arĩ thĩinĩ wa kĩhuhũkanio kĩa rũhuho.
And as they went walking and talking, beholde, there appeared a charet of fire, and horses of fire, and did separate them twaine. So Eliiah went vp by a whirle winde into heauen.
12 Elisha ona ũguo agĩkaya, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũũi baba-ĩ! Ũũi baba-ĩ! Ngaari cia ita na ahaici a mbarathi a Isiraeli!” Nake Elisha ndaacookire kũmuona rĩngĩ. Hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩaũra nguo ciake, agĩcitembũranga.
And Elisha saw it, and he cryed, My father, my father, the charet of Israel, and the horsemen thereof: and he sawe him no more: and he tooke his owne clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
13 Nake akĩoya nguo ya igũrũ ĩrĩa yagwĩte kuuma harĩ Elija na agĩthiĩ akĩrũgama hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani.
He tooke vp also the cloke of Eliiah that fell from him, and returned, and stoode by the banke of Iorden.
14 Ningĩ akĩoya nguo ĩyo ya igũrũ yagwĩte ĩkoima harĩ Elija, akĩgũtha maaĩ nayo. Akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Rĩu akĩrĩ ha Jehova, Ngai wa Elija?” Na rĩrĩa aagũthire maaĩ, makĩgayũkana maita meerĩ mwena wa ũrĩo na mwena wa ũmotho, nake akĩringa.
After, he tooke the cloke of Eliiah, that fell from him, and smote the waters, and sayde, Where is the Lord God of Eliiah? And so he also, after he had striken the waters, so that they were deuided this way and that way, went ouer, euen Elisha.
15 Andũ a thiritũ ya anabii kuuma Jeriko arĩa maacũthĩrĩirie makiuga atĩrĩ, “Roho wa Elija rĩu ũrĩ igũrũ rĩa Elisha.” Nao magĩthiĩ kũmũtũnga, makĩinamĩrĩra thĩ mbere yake.
And when the children of the Prophets, which were at Iericho, saw him on the other side, they sayde, The Spirite of Eliiah doeth rest on Elisha: and they came to meete him, and fell to the grounde before him,
16 Nao makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ta kĩrore, ithuĩ ndungata ciaku tũrĩ na andũ marĩ hinya mĩrongo ĩtano. Metĩkĩrie mathiĩ magacarie mwathi waku. No gũkorwo Roho wa Jehova amuoire aamũtwara kĩrĩma-inĩ kana gĩtuamba-inĩ.” Nake Elisha akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Aca, tigai kũmatũma.”
And said vnto him, Beholde nowe, there be with thy seruants fiftie strong men: let them go, we pray thee, and seeke thy master, if so be the Spirite of the Lord hath taken him vp, and cast him vpon some mountaine, or into some valley. But he said, Ye shall not sende.
17 No makĩmũringĩrĩria o nginya agĩconoka, akĩremwo nĩ kũrega. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akiuga atĩrĩ, “Matũmei.” Nao magĩtũma andũ mĩrongo ĩtano, arĩa maamwethire mĩthenya ĩtatũ, no matiigana kũmuona.
Yet they were instant vpon him, til he was ashamed: wherefore he saide, Sende. So they sent fiftie men, which sought three dayes, but founde him not.
18 Na rĩrĩa maacookire kũrĩ Elisha, ũrĩa waikaraga Jeriko, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ndiamwĩrire mũtigathiĩ?”
Therefore they returned to him, (for he taryed at Iericho) and he said vnto them, Did not I say vnto you, Goe not?
19 Andũ a itũũra rĩu inene makĩĩra Elisha atĩrĩ, “Mwathi witũ, itũũra rĩĩrĩ rĩrĩ handũ hega, o ta ũrĩa ũreyonera, no maaĩ marĩo nĩ marũrũ, naguo bũrũri ndũgĩaga kĩndũ.”
And the men of the citie saide vnto Elisha, Beholde, we pray thee: the situation of this citie is pleasant, as thou, my lorde, seest, but the water is naught, and the ground baren.
20 Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndeherai mbakũri njerũ, na mũmĩĩkĩre cumbĩ.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũrehere.
Then he saide, Bring me a newe cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.
21 Nake agĩthiĩ gĩthima-inĩ, agĩikia cumbĩ maaĩ-inĩ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga ũũ, ‘Nĩndathondeka maaĩ maya. Matigacooka kũrehe gĩkuũ kana matũme bũrũri wage kũgĩa kĩndũ rĩngĩ.’”
And he went vnto the spring of the waters, and cast there the salt, and said, Thus saith the Lord, I haue healed this water: death shall no more come thereof, neither barennesse to the ground.
22 Namo maaĩ macio matũire marĩ mega nginya ũmũthĩ, kũringana na kiugo kĩrĩa kĩarĩtio nĩ Elisha.
So the waters were healed vntill this day, according to the worde of Elisha which hee had spoken.
23 Nake Elisha akiuma kũu, agĩthiĩ Betheli. Na rĩrĩa aarĩ njĩra-inĩ agĩthiĩ-rĩ, imwana imwe ikiuma itũũra-inĩ, ikĩmũnyũrũria, ikiuga atĩrĩ, “Ambata nakũu, wee kĩhara gĩkĩ! Ambata nakũu, wee kĩhara gĩkĩ!”
And he went vp from thence vnto Beth-el. And as he was going vp the way, litle children came out of the citie, and mocked him, and saide vnto him, Come vp, thou balde head, come vp, thou balde head.
24 Nake akĩĩhũgũra, agĩcirora, agĩciruma na kĩrumi rĩĩtwa-inĩ rĩa Jehova. Nacio nduba igĩrĩ ikiuma gĩthaka-inĩ, igĩtambuura imwana mĩrongo ĩna na igĩrĩ ciacio.
And he turned backe, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And two beares came out of the forest, and tare in pieces two and fourtie children of them.
25 Nake agĩthiĩ Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Karimeli, na kuuma kũu agĩcooka Samaria.
So he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
