2 Athamaki 2
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 it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah 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.
And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray you; for the LORD has sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said unto him, As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. So they went down to Bethel.
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 sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Know you that the LORD will take away your master from your head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold all of you 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.
And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray you; for the LORD has sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. So they came to Jericho.
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 sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto him, Know you that the LORD will take away your master from your head to day? And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold all of you 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.
And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray you, here; for the LORD has sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. And they two went on.
7 Nao andũ mĩrongo ĩtano a thiritũ ya anabii magĩthiĩ makĩrũgama haraaya, marorete harĩa Elija na Elisha maarũngiĩ, hau rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Jorodani.
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view far off: and they two stood by Jordan.
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.
And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and stroke the waters, and they were divided here and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground.
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.”
And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for you, before I be taken away from you. And Elisha said, I pray you, let a double portion of your spirit be upon 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 said, You have asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so unto you; but if not, it shall not be so.
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 it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
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 cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own 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 took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;
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.
And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and stroke the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted here and thither: and Elisha went over.
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 sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah does rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground 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 they said unto him, Behold now, there be with your servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray you, and seek your master: lest possibly the Spirit of the LORD has taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, All of you shall not send.
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.
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.
18 Na rĩrĩa maacookire kũrĩ Elisha, ũrĩa waikaraga Jeriko, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ndiamwĩrire mũtigathiĩ?”
And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho, ) he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go 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 city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray you, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees: but the water is nil, and the ground barren.
20 Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndeherai mbakũri njerũ, na mũmĩĩkĩre cumbĩ.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũrehere.
And he said, Bring me a new 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 forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus says the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land.
22 Namo maaĩ macio matũire marĩ mega nginya ũmũthĩ, kũringana na kiugo kĩrĩa kĩarĩtio nĩ Elisha.
So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke.
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 up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, you bald head; go up, you bald 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 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 tare forty and two children of them.
25 Nake agĩthiĩ Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Karimeli, na kuuma kũu agĩcooka Samaria.
And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
