1 Da lokaci ya yi da Ubangiji zai ɗauki Iliya zuwa sama cikin guguwa, Iliya da Elisha kuwa suna kan hanyarsu daga Gilgal.
And it came to pass when Jehovah would take up Elijah into the heavens by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
2 Sai Iliya ya ce wa Elisha, “Ka dakata a nan; Ubangiji ya aike ni Betel.” Amma Elisha ya amsa ya ce, “Muddin Ubangiji yana a raye, kai kuma kana a raye, ba zan rabu da kai ba.” Saboda haka suka gangara zuwa Betel.
And Elijah said to Elisha, Abide here, I pray thee; for Jehovah has sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee! So they went down to Bethel.
3 Sai ƙungiyar annabawa a Betel suka fito zuwa wajen Elisha suka ce masa, “Ka san cewa Ubangiji zai ɗauki maigidanka daga wurinka yau?” Sai ya ce, “I, na sani, amma kada ku yi magana game da wannan.”
And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said to him, Dost thou know that Jehovah will take away thy master from over thy head to-day? And he said, I also know it: be silent!
4 Sai Iliya ya ce masa, “Ka dakata a nan Elisha; Ubangiji ya aike ni Yeriko.” Sai ya ce masa, “Muddin Ubangiji yana a raye, kai ma kana a raye, ba zan rabu da kai ba.” Saboda haka sai suka tafi Yeriko.
And Elijah said to him, Elisha, abide here, I pray thee; for Jehovah has sent me to Jericho. And he said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee! And they came to Jericho.
5 Ƙungiyar annabawa a Yeriko suka haura zuwa wajen Elisha suka ce, “Ko ka san Ubangiji zai ɗauki maigidanka daga gare ka yau?” Sai ya ce, “I, na sani, amma ku bar zancen nan tukuna.”
And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho drew near to Elisha and said to him, Dost thou know that Jehovah will take away thy master from over thy head to-day? And he said, I also know it: be silent!
6 Sai Iliya ya ce masa, “Ka dakata a nan, Ubangiji ya aike ni Urdun.” Sai Elisha ya ce masa, “Muddin Ubangiji yana a raye, kai kuma kana raye, ba zan rabu da kai ba.” Saboda haka suka ci gaba da tafiya tare.
And Elijah said to him, Abide here, I pray thee; for Jehovah has sent me to the Jordan. And he said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee! And they two went on.
7 Mutum hamsin na ƙungiyar annabawa suka je suka tsaya da nisa, suna fuskantar inda Iliya da Elisha suka tsaya a Urdun.
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite afar off; and they two stood by the Jordan.
8 Sai Iliya ya tuɓe rigarsa, ya nannaɗe ya bugi ruwan Urdun da shi. Sai ruwan ya dāre gida biyu, suka haye a busasshiyar ƙasa.
And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither; and they two went over on dry ground.
9 Da suka haye, sai Iliya ya ce wa Elisha, “Faɗi mini, abin da kake so in yi maka kafin a ɗauke ni daga gare ka!” Elisha ya amsa ya ce, “Bari in gāji ninki biyu na ruhunka.”
And it came to pass when they had gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I am taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
10 Iliya ya ce, “Ka nemi abu mai wuya, amma in ka ga lokacin da aka ɗauke ni daga gare ka, zai zama naka, in ba haka ba, ba za ka samu ba ke nan.”
And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so to thee; but if not, it shall not be [so].
11 Yayinda suke tafiya suna magana, sai kwatsam, keken yaƙin wuta da dawakan wuta suka ratse tsakaninsu, sai Iliya ya tafi sama a cikin guguwa.
And it came to pass as they went on, and talked, that behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire; and they parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into the heavens.
12 Da Elisha ya ga haka sai ya yi ihu yana cewa, “Babana! Babana! Kekunan yaƙin da mahayan dawakan Isra’ila!” Elisha kuwa bai sāke ganinsa ba. Sai ya kama tufafinsa ya yayyage.
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. Then he took hold of his own garments and rent them in two pieces.
13 Sai ya ɗauki rigar da ta fāɗo daga Iliya ya koma ya tsaya a gaɓar Kogin Urdun.
And he took up the mantle of Elijah which fell from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan;
14 Sa’an nan Elisha ya ɗauki rigar da ta fāɗo daga Iliya ya bugi ruwan da shi. Ya ce, “Yanzu ina Ubangiji Allah na Iliya?” Da ya bugi ruwan sai ruwan ya dāre gida biyu, sai ya haye.
and he took the mantle of Elijah which had fallen from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is Jehovah, the God of Elijah? He also smote the waters, and they parted hither and thither, and Elisha went over.
15 Ƙungiyar annabawa daga Yeriko, waɗanda suke kallo, suka ce, “Ruhun Iliya yana a kan Elisha.” Sai suka je su tarye shi, suka rusuna har ƙasa a gabansa.
And the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho on the opposite side saw him, and they said, The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him,
16 Suka ce, “Duba, mu bayinka muna da masu ji da ƙarfi hamsin. Bari su je su nemi maigidanka. Wataƙila, Ruhun Ubangiji ya ɗauke shi ya ajiye bisa wani dutse, ko wani kwari.” Elisha ya ce, “A’a, kada ku aike su.”
and said to him, Behold now, there are with thy servants fifty valiant men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master, lest perhaps the Spirit of Jehovah have taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some ravine. And he said, Ye shall not send.
17 Amma suka matsa masa har ya ji ba ya iya hana su. Saboda haka ya ce, “Ku aike su.” Sai suka aiki mutane hamsin, suka yi ta nema har kwana uku amma ba su same Iliya ba.
And they pressed him till he was ashamed, and he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men, and they sought three days, but did not find him.
18 Da suka dawo wurin Elisha, wanda yake a Yeriko, sai ya ce musu, “Ban ce muku kada ku tafi ba?”
And they came again to him (now he was staying at Jericho); and he said to them, Did I not say to you, Go not?
19 Mutane garin suka ce wa Elisha, “Ranka yă daɗe, duba, garin yana da kyan gani, amma ruwan ba shi da kyau, ƙasar kuma ba ta ba da amfani.”
And the men of the city said to Elisha, Behold now, the situation of the city is good, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land is barren.
20 Sai ya ce, “Ku kawo mini sabuwar ƙwarya, ku kuma sa gishiri a ciki.” Sai suka kawo masa.
And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt in it. And they brought it to him.
21 Sai ya tafi maɓulɓular ruwan yana watsa gishirin a ciki, yana cewa, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Na warkar da ruwan nan. Ba zai ƙara jawo mutuwa, ko yă hana ƙasar ba da amfani ba.’”
And he went forth to the source of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith Jehovah: I have healed these waters: there shall not be from thence any more death or barrenness.
22 Ruwan ya tsabtacce har yă zuwa yau, bisa ga faɗin Elisha.
And the waters were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke.
23 Daga nan sai Elisha ya tafi Betel. Yayinda yake tafiya a hanya, sai waɗansu matasa suka fito daga cikin gari, suka yi masa dariya suna cewa, “Ka haura, ya kai mai kai marar gashi! Ka haura, kai mai kai marar gashi!”
And he went up from thence to Bethel, and as he went up by the way, there came forth little boys out of the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, bald head; go up, bald head!
24 Sai ya juya ya dube su, ya la’anta su da sunan Ubangiji. Sai beyar guda biyu suka fito daga jeji suka hallaka matasa arba’in da biyu daga cikinsu.
And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of Jehovah. And there came forth two she-bears out of the wood, and tore forty-two children of them.
25 Sai ya ci gaba zuwa Dutsen Karmel, daga can kuma ya koma Samariya.
And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
