1 Isu a napasamak, idi alaen koma ni Yahweh ni Elias iti langit babaen iti alipugpog, pimmanaw da Elias ken Eliseo manipud Gilgal.
Just before the Lord took Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were walking together on their way from Gilgal.
2 Kinuna ni Elias kenni Eliseo, “Agbatika ditoy, pangngaasim, gapu ta imbaonnak ni Yahweh a mapan idiay Betel.” Simmungbat ni Eliseo, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, ken kas sibibiagka, saanka a panawan.” Isu a napanda idiay Betel.
Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the Lord has sent me to Bethel.” But Elisha replied, “As the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went to Bethel.
3 Napan kenni Eliseo dagiti annak dagiti profeta nga adda idiay Betel ket kinunada kenkuana. “Ammom kadi nga ipanaw ni Yahweh kenka ti apom ita nga aldaw?” Simmungbat ni Eliseo “Wen, ammok daytoy, ngem saantayo a pagsasaritaan ti maipapan iti daytoy.”
The sons of the prophets who lived in Bethel came to Elisha and told him, “You do know that the Lord is going to take your master away from you today, don't you?” “Yes, I know,” he replied. “Don't talk about it.”
4 Kinuna ni Elias kenkuana, “Eliseo, agurayka ditoy, pangngaasim, ta imbaonnak ni Yahweh a mapan idiay Jerico.” Ket simmungbat ni Eliseo, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, ken kas sibibiagka, saanka a panawan.” Isu a napanda idiay Jerico.
Then Elijah said to him, “Please stay here, Elisha, for the Lord has sent me to Jericho.” He replied, “As the Lord lives, and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went to Jericho.
5 Ket napan kenni Eliseo dagiti annak dagiti profeta nga adda idiay Jerico ket kinunada kenkuana, “Ammom kadi nga ipanaw ni Yahweh kenka ti apom ita nga aldaw?” Simmungbat ni Eliseo, “Wen, ammok daytoy, ngem saantayo a pagsasaritaan ti maipapan iti daytoy.
The sons of the prophets who lived in Jericho came to Elisha and told him, “You do know that the Lord is going to take your master away from you today, don't you?” “Yes, I know,” he replied. “Don't talk about it.”
6 Ket kinuna ni Elias kenkuana, “Agbatika ditoy, pangngaasim, ta imbaonnak ni Yahweh a mapan idiay Jordan.” Simmungbat ni Eliseo, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, ken kas sibibiagka, saanka a panawan.” Isu a napanda a dua.
Then Elijah said to him, “Please stay here, Elisha, for the Lord has sent me to the Jordan.” He replied, “As the Lord lives, and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they travelled on together.
7 Saan a nagbayag, nagtakder ti limapulo nga annak dagiti profeta a nakabatog kadakuada iti saan nga adayo kabayatan a nagtakder ti dua iti igid ti Jordan.
Then a group of fifty of the sons of the prophets went and stood facing Elijah and Elisha at a distance as the two of them stood by the Jordan.
8 Innala ni Elias ti kagayna, linukotna daytoy, ket imbautna daytoy iti danum. Nagudua ti danum isu a nakapagnada a dua iti namaga a daga.
Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up, and hit the water. It divided to the one side and to the other and both of them crossed over on dry ground.
9 Napasamak a kalpasan a nakaballasiwda, kinuna ni Elias kenni Eliseo, “Agkiddawka kaniak no ania ti rumbeng nga ipaayko kenka sakbay a maipanawak. Simmungbat ni Eliseo, “Pangaasim ta umay koma kaniak ti mamindua a kabileg ti espiritum.”
When they arrived on the other side, Elijah asked Elisha, “What can I do for you before I'm taken from you?” “Please let me have a double amount of your spirit,” Elisha replied.
10 Simmungbat ni Elias, “Narigat a banag ti kiddawmo. Nupay kasta, no makitanakto a maipanaw, mapasamakto daytoy, ngem no saan, saanto a mapasamak daytoy.”
“What you have asked for is hard,” Elijah responded. “But if you see me when I am taken from you, you will have it, otherwise not.”
11 Nagsarsaritada bayat ti pannagnada, pagammoan, nagparang iti umap-apuy a karwahe ken dagiti umap-apuy a kabalio, a nangiyadayo kadakuada a dua, ket naipangato ni Elias idiay langit babaen iti alipugpog.
As they were walking along, talking, a chariot of fire and horses of fire came between them, and Elijah was taken up in the whirlwind to heaven.
12 Nakita daytoy ni Eliseo ket impukkawna, “Amak, amak, dagiti karwahe ti Israel ken dagiti nakakabalio!” Saannan a pulos a nakita ni Elias, ket iniggamanna dagiti kawesna sana rinay-ab daytoy a nagkadua.
Elisha saw what happened and cried out, “My father! My father! Look! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!” Then Elisha couldn't see him anymore. He took his clothes and ripped them to pieces.
13 Pinidutna ti kagay ni Elias a natinnag kenkuana, ket nagsubli isuna sa nagtakder iti igid ti karayan Jordan.
Then Elisha picked up Elijah's cloak that had fallen from him, and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan.
14 Binautna ti danum babaen iti kagay ni Elias a natinnag ket kinunana, “Sadino ti ayan ni Yahweh, a Dios ni Elias?” Idi binautna ti danum, naggudua ti danum ket bimallasiw ni Eliseo.
He took Elijah's cloak that had fallen from him, hit the water, and cried out, “Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” When he hit the water, it divided to the one side and to the other and Elisha crossed over.
15 Idi nakita dagiti annak dagiti profeta a taga-Jerico ni Eliseo iti ballasiw manipud kadakuada, kinunada, “Adda ti espiritu ni Elias kenni Eliseo. Isu a napanda sinabat isuna, ket nagpaklebda iti sangonanna.
The sons of the prophets who lived in Jericho saw him from the opposite side and shouted out, “Elijah's spirit now rests upon Elisha!” They went over to meet him, and bowed to the ground before him.
16 Kinunada kenkuana, “Kitaem ita, kadagiti adipenmo ket adda limapulo a napipigsa a lallaki. Dawatenmi a palubosam koma ida, ket birokenda ti apom, amangan no impangato laeng isuna ti Espiritu ni Yahweh ket impurruakna iti maysa a bantay wenno iti maysa a tanap.” Insungbat ni Eliseo, “Saan, saanyo ida nga ibaon.”
“Look,” they said to Elisha, “we your servants have fifty good men here. Please allow them to go and search for your master. Maybe the Spirit of the Lord has taken him and put him down on a mountain or in a valley somewhere.” “Don't bother sending them,” Elisha replied.
17 Ngem idi pinilitda ni Eliseo agingga a mabainen isuna, kinunana, “Ibaonyo ida.” Ket nangibaonda iti limapulo a lallaki, ket nagbirokda iti tallo nga aldaw, ngem saanda a nabirukan isuna.
But they went on trying to persuade him until he was too embarrassed to say no. “Go ahead and send them,” he told them. So they sent fifty men, who searched for Elijah for three days but couldn't find him.
18 Nagsublida kenni Eliseo, bayat iti panagtalinaedna idiay Jerico, ket kinunana kadakuada, “Saan kadi nga imbagak kadakayo, 'Saankayo a mapan'?”
When they returned to Elisha, who was staying in Jericho, he said to them, “Didn't I tell you not to bother going?”
19 Kinuna dagiti lallaki iti siudad kenni Eliseo, “Kitaem, agpakpakaasikami kenka, napintas daytoy a siudad, kas makitkita ti apok, ngem saan a nasayaat ti danum ken saan a nabunga ti daga.”
The townspeople said to Elisha, “Look, sir, while our town has a good location as you can see, the water is bad and the soil is poor.”
20 Simmungbat ni Eliseo, “Mangiyegkayo kaniak iti maysa a baro a malukong ket kabilanyo daytoy iti asin,” inyegda ngarud kenkuana daytoy.
“Bring me a brand new bowl and put some salt in it,” he replied. So they brought it to him.
21 Napan ni Eliseo iti ubbog ket pinurruakanna iti asin daytoy; kalpasanna, kinunana, “Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, 'Dinalusakon daytoy a danum. Manipud iti daytoy a kanito, awanton iti ipapatay wenno saan a nabunga a daga.'”
Then Elisha went to the spring, threw the salt into it, and said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘I have purified this water. It won't cause death or miscarriages anymore.’”
22 Isu a nadalusan ti danum agingga iti daytoy nga aldaw, babaen iti sao nga imbaga ni Eliseo.
The water there is still pure to this very day, just as Elisha said it would be.
23 Kalpasanna, manipud Jerico ket napan ni Eliseo idiay Betel. Kabayatan a magmagna isuna iti dalan, adda dagiti agtutubo a lallaki a rimmuar iti siudad ket linaisda isuna; kinunada kenkuana, “Umadayoka, sika a kalbo! Umadayoka, sika a kalbo!”
Elisha went on from there to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, a group of youths came from the town. They made fun of him, calling out, “Go on up, baldy! Go on up, baldy!”
24 Timmaliaw ni Eliseo ket nakitana ida; immawag isuna kenni Yahweh tapno ilunodna ida. Ket rimmuar ti dua a kabaian nga oso iti kabakiran ket dinangranda ti uppat a pulo ket dua kadagiti agtutubo a lallaki.
Turning around, he looked at them and called down a curse on them in the Lord's name. Suddenly two female bears came out of the forest and mauled forty-two of them.
25 Ket manipud sadiay napan ni Eliseo iti Bantay Carmel, ket manipud sadiay nagsubli isuna idiay Samaria.
Elisha carried on to Mount Carmel, and from there he went back to Samaria.
