2 Ndị Eze 2
1 O ruo mgbe Onyenwe anyị chọrọ ị kpọrọ Ịlaịja laa nʼeluigwe site nʼoke ifufe, Ịlaịja na Ịlaisha nọ nʼụzọ sitere Gilgal.
And it cometh to pass, at Jehovah's taking up Elijah in a whirlwind to the heavens, that Elijah goeth, and 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.
and Elijah saith unto Elisha, 'Abide, I pray thee, here, for Jehovah hath sent me unto Beth-El;' and Elisha saith, 'Jehovah liveth, and thy soul liveth, if I leave thee;' and they go down 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 sons of the prophets who [are] in Beth-El come out unto Elisha, and say unto him, 'Hast thou known that to-day Jehovah is taking thy lord from thy head?' and he saith, 'I also have known — keep silent.'
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.
And Elijah saith to him, 'Elisha, abide, I pray thee, here, for Jehovah hath sent me to Jericho;' and he saith, 'Jehovah liveth, and thy soul liveth, if I leave thee;' and they come in to Jericho.
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 sons of the prophets who [are] in Jericho come nigh unto Elisha, and say unto him, 'Hast thou known that to-day Jehovah is taking thy lord from thy head?' and he saith, 'I also have known — keep silent.'
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.
And Elijah saith to him, 'Abide, I pray thee, here, for Jehovah hath sent me to the Jordan;' and he saith, 'Jehovah liveth, and thy soul liveth, if I leave thee;' and they go on both of them,
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 fifty men of the sons of the prophets have gone on, and stand over-against afar off — and both of them have stood by the Jordan.
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.
And Elijah taketh his robe, and wrappeth [it] together, and smiteth the waters, and they are halved, hither and thither, and they pass over both of them on dry land.
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.”
And it cometh to pass, at their passing over, that Elijah hath said unto Elisha, 'Ask, what do I do for thee before I am taken from thee?' and Elisha saith, 'Then let there be, I pray thee, a double portion of thy spirit unto 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 saith, 'Thou hast asked a hard thing; if thou dost see me taken from thee, it is to thee so; and if not, it is not.'
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 it cometh to pass, they are going, going on and speaking, and lo, a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and they separate between them both, and Elijah goeth up in a whirlwind, to the heavens.
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 is seeing, and he is crying, 'My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and its horsemen;' and he hath not seen him again; and he taketh hold on his garments, and rendeth them into two pieces.
13 Emesịa, ọ chịlịri uwe mwụda Ịlaịja nke dapụrụ mgbe e weliri ya elu, laghachi bịa guzo nʼakụkụ osimiri Jọdan.
And he taketh up the robe of Elijah, that fell from off him, and turneth back and standeth on the edge of the Jordan,
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.
and he taketh the robe of Elijah that fell from off him, and smiteth the waters, and saith, 'Where [is] Jehovah, God of Elijah — even He?' and he smiteth the waters, and they are halved, hither and thither, and Elisha passeth over.
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 they see him — the sons of the prophets who [are] in Jericho — over-against, and they say, 'Rested hath the spirit of Elijah on Elisha;' and they come to meet him, and bow themselves to him to the earth,
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 say unto him, 'Lo, we pray thee, there are with thy servants fifty men, sons of valour: let them go, we pray thee, and they seek thy lord, lest the Spirit of Jehovah hath taken him up, and doth cast him on one of the hills, or into one of the valleys;' and he saith, 'Ye do not send.'
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.
And they press upon him, till he is ashamed, and he saith, 'Send ye;' and they send fifty men, and they seek three days, and have not found him;
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?”
and they turn back unto him — and he is abiding in Jericho — and he saith unto them, 'Did I not say unto you, Do not go?'
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 city say unto Elisha, 'Lo, we pray thee, the site of the city [is] good, as my lord seeth, and the waters [are] bad, and the earth sterile.'
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.
And he saith, 'Bring to me a new dish, and place there salt;' and they bring [it] unto 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 goeth out unto the source of the waters, and casteth there salt, and saith, 'Thus said Jehovah, I have given healing to these waters; there is not thence any more death and sterility.'
22 Site nʼụbọchị ahụ gaa nʼihu, mmiri ahụ dịịrị ọcha ruo taa, dịka Ịlaisha kwuru.
And the waters are healed unto this day, according to the word of Elisha, that he spake.
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 goeth up thence to Beth-El, and he is going up in the way, and little youths have come out from the city, and scoff at him, and say to him, 'Go up, bald-head! go up, bald-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 looketh behind him, and seeth them, and declareth them vile in the name of Jehovah, and two bears come out of the forest, and rend of them forty and two lads.
25 Emesịa, Ịlaisha sitere nʼebe ahụ pụọ jeruo nʼugwu Kamel. Emesịakwa, o sitere nʼebe ahụ laghachi na Sameria.
And he goeth thence unto the hill of Carmel, and thence he hath turned back to Samaria.
