1 O ruo mgbe Onyenwe anyị chọrọ ị kpọrọ Ịlaịja laa nʼeluigwe site nʼoke ifufe, Ịlaịja na Ịlaisha nọ nʼụzọ sitere Gilgal.
And when the Lord would take vp Eliiah into heauen by a whirle winde, Eliiah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
2 Ịlaịja sịrị Ịlaisha, “Nọdụ nʼebe a, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ziri m ozi ka m gaa Betel.” Ma Ịlaisha zara sị ya, “Dịka Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ, na dịka gị onwe gị nọkwa na-adị ndụ, agaghị m ahapụ gị.” Ya mere, ha abụọ sooro gaa Betel.
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 Nʼebe ahụ, ụmụ okorobịa ndị amụma nọ na Betel pụtara zute ha abụọ. Ndị amụma ahụ bịakwutere Ịlaisha sị ya, “Ị maara na Onyenwe anyị ga-esi nʼebe ị nọ wepụ onyenwe gị Ịlaịja taa?” Ịlaisha sịrị, “Mụ onwe m maara, ma unu nọrọ nwayọọ.”
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 Mgbe ahụ, Ịlaịja sịrị ya, “Ịlaisha, nọdụ nʼebe a, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ziri m ozi ka m gaa Jeriko.” Ma ọ zara, “Dịka Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ, na dịka gị onwe gị nọkwa na-adị ndụ, agaghị m ahapụ gị.” Ya mere ha abụọ sokwaara ruo 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 Ndị otu ndị amụma nọ na Jeriko bịakwutere Ịlaisha nso jụọ ya, “Ị maara na Onyenwe anyị ga-ewepụ onyenwe gị taa?” Ọ zara, “E, amaara m, ya mere nọọnụ nwayọọ.”
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 Mgbe ahụ, Ịlaịja sịrị ya, “Nọdụ nʼebe a, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ziri m ka m jee Jọdan.” Ma ọ zara, “Dịka Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ, na dịka gị onwe gị nọkwa na-adị ndụ, agaghị m ahapụ gị.” Ya mere, ha abụọ sooro na-eje.
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 Iri ndị amụma ise sitere nʼetiti ndị amụma sooro ha guzoro nʼebe dị anya na ncherita ihu ebe Ịlaịja na Ịlaisha kwụsịrị nʼakụkụ Jọdan.
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 Mgbe ahụ, Ịlaịja chịịrị uwe mwụda ya, pịakọtaa ya, tie ya nʼelu osimiri ahụ. Mmiri ahụ kewara ụzọ abụọ, ala akọrọ pụtakwara. Nʼebe ahụ ka Ịlaịja na Ịlaisha si gafee nʼofe ọzọ nke osimiri ahụ.
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 Mgbe ha abụọ gafesịrị, Ịlaịja jụrụ Ịlaisha ajụjụ sị ya, “Gịnị ka ị chọrọ ka m meere gị tupu e site nʼebe ị nọ wepụ m?” Ịlaisha rịọrọ sị ya, “Biko, mee ka m nweta ụdị mmụọ i nwere okpukpu abụọ.”
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 Ịlaịja zara sị ya, “Ihe ị rịọrọ bụ ihe sịrị ike omume. Ọ bụrụ na ị hụ m mgbe a na-ewepụ m site nʼebe ị nọ, ị ga-enweta ihe ị rịọrọ. Ma ọ bụrụ na ị hụghị m, ị gaghị enweta ihe ị rịọrọ.”
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 Mgbe ha na-aga nʼihu nʼije ha na-akparịta ụka, na mberede, ụgbọ ọkụ nke ịnyịnya ọkụ na-adọkpụ pụtara ihe kewaa ha abụọ. Mgbe ahụ kwa oke ifufe buuru Ịlaịja rigoro nʼeluigwe.
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 Ịlaisha hụrụ ya, lelie anya elu tie mkpu akwa sị, “Nna m! Nna m! Usuu ụgbọ agha na usuu ndị na-agba ịnyịnya Izrel!” Ọ hụkwaghị Ịlaịja anya ọzọ. O jidere uwe o yi nʼahụ dọwaa ya ibe abụọ.
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 Emesịa, ọ chịlịri uwe mwụda Ịlaịja nke dapụrụ mgbe e weliri ya elu, laghachi bịa guzo nʼakụkụ osimiri Jọdan.
He tooke vp also the cloke of Eliiah that fell from him, and returned, and stoode by the banke of Iorden.
14 O tiri akwa ahụ nʼelu mmiri ahụ jụọ sị, “Olee ebe Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Ịlaịja nọ?” Mgbe o tiri mmiri ahụ ihe, o kewakwara otu ụzọ nʼaka nri nke ọzọ nʼaka ekpe, Ịlaisha gafere nʼofe nke ọzọ.
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 Mgbe ndị amụma ahụ si Jeriko nʼele anya, hụrụ ihe mere, ha sịrị, “Mmụọ Ịlaịja adakwasịla Ịlaisha.” Ha gara zute ya, kpọọ isiala nʼihu ya.
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 Ha sịrị ya “Lee, anyị bụ ndị ohu gị nwere iri ndị ikom ise ahụ siri ike. Kwere ka ha ga chọgharịa nna gị ukwu. Ma eleghị anya mmụọ Onyenwe anyị eburula ya tụdakwa ya nʼotu ugwu, maọbụ nʼotu ndagwurugwu.” Ịlaisha zaghachiri, “Unu ezigala ha.”
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 Ma mgbe ha nọgidere rịọsie ya arịrịọ ike, ruo mgbe o nwekwaghị ike igbochi ha. Ọ gwara ha sị, “Ọ dị mma, ziganụ mmadụ ka ha gaa chọọ ya.” Ha zigara iri ndị ikom ise, ndị gara chọgharịa Ịlaịja ụbọchị atọ, ma ha achọtaghị ya.
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 Ịlaisha nọ na Jeriko mgbe ndị a lọghachiri bịa kọọrọ ya otu ha si gaa. Mgbe ahụ, ọ gwara ha sị, “Ọ bụ na m agwaghị unu sị unu ejela?”
Therefore they returned to him, (for he taryed at Iericho) and he said vnto them, Did not I say vnto you, Goe not?
19 Ndị obodo ahụ sịrị Ịlaisha, “Lee, onyenwe anyị, obodo anyị dị nʼebe dị mma, dịka gị onwe gị na-ahụ, ma mmiri dị nʼime ya jọrọ njọ, ala ya adịghị amịpụta mkpụrụ dịka o kwesiri.”
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 Ịlaisha zara sị ha, “Ọ dị mma, gaanụ tinye nnu nʼime efere ọhụrụ wetara m ya.” Ha gara weta efere ọhụrụ nke nnu juru nʼime ya.
Then he saide, Bring me a newe cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.
21 Ịlaisha buuru nnu ahụ gaa nʼebe mmiri ahụ si asọpụta, wụnye nnu ahụ nʼime ya. Mgbe ọ na-eme nke a, o kwuru okwu sị, “Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ‘Agwọọla m mmiri a. Ọnwụ maọbụ amịghị mkpụrụ nke ala agaghị adịkwa.’”
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 Site nʼụbọchị ahụ gaa nʼihu, mmiri ahụ dịịrị ọcha ruo taa, dịka Ịlaisha kwuru.
So the waters were healed vntill this day, according to the worde of Elisha which hee had spoken.
23 Emesịa, Ịlaisha sitere na Jeriko pụọ ịlaghachi Betel. Mgbe ọ na-aga nʼụzọ, ụfọdụ ụmụ okorobịa nta sitere nʼime obodo pụta, bidoro jiri ya na-eme ihe ọchị, sị ya, “Onyeisi nkwọcha, site nʼebe a pụọ! Onyeisi nkwọcha, site nʼebe a pụọ!”
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 Ịlaisha tụgharịrị lee ha anya, bụọ ha ọnụ nʼaha Onyenwe anyị. Otu mgbe ahụ, nne anụ ọhịa abụọ, a na-akpọ bịa, sitere nʼọhịa pụta, dọgbuo iri ụmụ okorobịa anọ na abụọ nʼime ha.
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 Emesịa, Ịlaisha sitere nʼebe ahụ pụọ jeruo nʼugwu Kamel. Emesịakwa, o sitere nʼebe ahụ laghachi na Sameria.
So he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
