2 Raja-raja 2
1 Tibalah waktunya TUHAN hendak mengangkat Elia ke surga dengan perantaraan angin puyuh. Ketika itu Elia dan Elisa telah berangkat dari Gilgal,
So it came about, when Yahweh was going to take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah left with Elisha from Gilgal.
2 dan di tengah jalan Elia berkata kepada Elisa, "Tinggallah di sini. Saya disuruh TUHAN pergi ke Betel." Tetapi Elisa menjawab, "Demi TUHAN yang hidup dan demi nyawa Bapak, saya tidak akan meninggalkan Bapak." Jadi mereka bersama-sama meneruskan perjalanan sampai ke Betel.
Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here, please, because Yahweh has sent me to Bethel.” Elisha replied, “As Yahweh lives, and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel.
3 Sekelompok nabi yang tinggal di situ pergi menemui Elisa dan bertanya, "Tahukah engkau bahwa pada hari ini tuanmu akan meninggalkan engkau karena diangkat oleh TUHAN?" "Ya, saya tahu," jawab Elisa. "Tapi sudahlah, tak usah kita membicarakan hal itu."
The sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that Yahweh will take away your master from you today?” Elisha replied, “Yes, I know it, but do not talk about it.”
4 Kemudian berkatalah Elia kepada Elisa, "Tinggallah di sini, saya disuruh TUHAN pergi ke Yerikho." Tetapi Elisa menjawab, "Demi TUHAN yang hidup dan demi nyawa Bapak, saya tak akan meninggalkan Bapak." Jadi mereka berdua meneruskan perjalanan sampai ke Yerikho.
Elijah said to him, “Elisha, wait here, please, for Yahweh has sent me to Jericho.” Then Elisha replied, “As Yahweh lives, and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went to Jericho.
5 Sekelompok nabi yang tinggal di situ pergi menemui Elisa dan bertanya, "Tahukah engkau bahwa pada hari ini tuanmu akan diangkat Allah dan meninggalkan engkau?" "Ya, saya tahu," jawab Elisa. "Tapi sudahlah, tak usah kita membicarakan hal itu."
Then the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that Yahweh will take away your master from you today?” Elisha answered, “Yes, I know it, but do not talk about it.”
6 Kemudian berkatalah Elia kepada Elisa, "Tinggallah di sini. Saya disuruh TUHAN pergi ke Sungai Yordan." Tetapi Elisa menjawab, "Demi TUHAN yang hidup dan demi nyawa Bapak, saya tak akan meninggalkan Bapak." Maka mereka meneruskan perjalanan sampai ke Sungai Yordan,
Then Elijah said to him, “Stay here, please, for Yahweh has sent me to the Jordan.” Elisha replied, “As Yahweh lives, and as you live, I will not leave you.” So the two went on.
7 dan 50 orang nabi mengikuti mereka. Lalu Elia dan Elisa berhenti di tepi sungai, dan kelima puluh nabi itu berdiri tidak seberapa jauh dari situ.
Later, fifty of the sons of the prophets stood opposite them at a distance while the two stood by the Jordan.
8 Elia melepaskan jubahnya, lalu menggulung dan memukulkannya ke atas air sungai itu. Maka air sungai itu terbagi dua, sehingga ia dan Elisa dapat berjalan di dasar yang kering.
Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up, and struck the water with it. The river divided on both sides so that the two of them walked over on dry ground.
9 Setelah sampai di seberang, Elia berkata kepada Elisa, "Mintalah apa yang kauinginkan dari saya sebelum saya diangkat TUHAN dan meninggalkan engkau!" Elisa menjawab, "Wariskanlah kuasa Bapak kepada saya, supaya saya dapat menjadi pengganti Bapak."
It came about, after they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask me what I should do for you before I am taken from you.” Elisha replied, “Please let a double portion of your spirit come on me.”
10 "Wah, itu sukar sekali," sahut Elia. "Tetapi kalau engkau melihat saya pada waktu saya diangkat TUHAN, permintaanmu akan dikabulkan. Kalau kau tidak melihat, permintaanmu akan ditolak."
Elijah answered, “You have asked for a difficult thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, this will happen for you, but if not, it will not happen.”
11 Sambil berjalan, mereka berdua terus bercakap-cakap. Tiba-tiba sebuah kereta berapi yang ditarik oleh kuda berapi datang memisahkan mereka berdua lalu Elia diangkat ke surga oleh angin puyuh.
As they still went on and talked, behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared, which separated the two men from each other, and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
12 Elisa melihatnya lalu berseru, "Elia, Bapakku! Bapakku! Pelindung Israel yang perkasa! Bapak sudah tiada!" Maka hilanglah Elia dari pemandangan Elisa. Dengan sedih Elisa menyobek jubahnya menjadi dua,
Elisha saw it and cried out, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and their horsemen!” He saw Elijah no more, and he took hold of his own clothes and tore them into two pieces.
13 lalu memungut jubah Elia yang terjatuh. Setelah itu ia kembali dan berdiri di tepi Sungai Yordan,
He picked up Elijah's cloak that had fallen off him, and went back to stand by the bank of the Jordan.
14 lalu memukulkan jubah Elia itu ke atas air serta berkata, "Di manakah TUHAN, Allah Elia itu?" Setelah ia memukulkan jubah itu ke air sungai itu, air itu terbagi dua dan ia berjalan ke seberang.
He struck the water with Elijah's cloak that had fallen and said, “Where is Yahweh, the God of Elijah?” When he had struck the waters, they divided on both sides and Elisha crossed over.
15 Kelima puluh nabi di Yerikho itu melihatnya, lalu berkata, "Kuasa Elia sudah pindah kepada Elisa!" Mereka mendatangi dia lalu sujud di depannya
When the sons of the prophets who were from Jericho saw him across from them, they said, “The spirit of Elijah does rest on Elisha!” So they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
16 dan berkata, "Kami ada 50 orang, semuanya kuat-kuat. Karena itu, marilah kita pergi mencari Elia tuanmu. Mungkin Roh TUHAN telah membawa dia ke gunung atau ke lembah, lalu meninggalkannya di situ." "Tidak usah!" jawab Elisa.
They said to him, “See now, among your servants there are fifty strong men. Let them go, we ask, and look for your master, in case the Spirit of Yahweh has taken him up and thrown him onto some mountain or into some valley.” Elisha answered, “No, do not send them.”
17 Tetapi mereka terus saja mendesak sehingga ia menyetujuinya. Maka pergilah kelima puluh nabi itu mencari Elia selama tiga hari, tetapi mereka tidak menemukannya.
But when they urged Elisha until he was ashamed, he said, “Send them.” Then they sent fifty men, and they looked for three days, but did not find him.
18 Lalu mereka kembali kepada Elisa yang sedang menunggu di Yerikho. "Bukankah saya sudah berkata bahwa kalian tidak usah pergi?" kata Elisa kepada mereka.
They came back to Elisha, while he stayed at Jericho, and he said to them, “Did I not say to you, 'Do not go'?”
19 Beberapa orang dari Yerikho datang kepada Elisa dan berkata, "Pak, seperti yang Bapak lihat sendiri, kota ini baik, tetapi airnya tidak baik dan menyebabkan wanita yang hamil, keguguran."
The men of the city said to Elisha, “See, we beg of you, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my master can see, but the water is bad and the land is not fruitful.”
20 "Ambilkan mangkuk yang masih baru," kata Elisa, "dan taruhlah garam di dalamnya." Maka mereka membawa yang dimintanya itu kepadanya.
Elisha replied, “Bring me a new bowl and put salt in it,” so they brought it to him.
21 Lalu pergilah Elisa ke sumber air kemudian melemparkan garam itu ke dalam air dan berkata, "Inilah yang dikatakan TUHAN: 'Aku murnikan air ini supaya tidak lagi menyebabkan kematian atau keguguran!'"
Elisha went out to the spring of water and threw salt in it; then he said, “Yahweh says this, 'I have healed these waters. From this time on, there will be no more death or unfruitful land.'”
22 Sejak itu murnilah air itu sesuai dengan kata-kata Elisa.
So the waters were healed to this day, by the word which Elisha spoke.
23 Setelah itu pergilah Elisa dari Yerikho ke Betel. Di tengah jalan sekelompok anak-anak keluar dari kota dan mengolok-olokkan dia. "Hai botak, botak, pergi dari sini!" teriak mereka.
Then Elisha went up from there to Bethel. As he was going up the road, young boys came out of the city and mocked him; they said to him, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!”
24 Elisa menoleh dan memandang mereka lalu menyumpahi mereka demi nama TUHAN. Saat itu juga dua ekor beruang betina keluar dari hutan dan mencabik-cabik empat puluh dua orang anak dari antara anak-anak itu.
Elisha looked behind him and saw them; he called on Yahweh to curse them. Then two female bears came out of the woods and injured forty-two of the boys.
25 Elisa meneruskan perjalanan ke Gunung Karmel, kemudian kembali ke Samaria.
Then Elisha went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
