2 Raja-raja 2
1 Menjelang saatnya TUHAN hendak menaikkan Elia ke sorga dalam angin badai, Elia dan Elisa sedang berjalan dari Gilgal.
Now it happened that, when the Lord willed to lift up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were going out of Gilgal.
2 Berkatalah Elia kepada Elisa: "Baiklah tinggal di sini, sebab TUHAN menyuruh aku ke Betel." Tetapi Elisa menjawab: "Demi TUHAN yang hidup dan demi hidupmu sendiri, sesungguhnya aku tidak akan meninggalkan engkau." Lalu pergilah mereka ke Betel.
And Elijah said to Elisha: “Remain here. For the Lord has sent me as far as Bethel.” And Elisha said to him, “As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not forsake you.” And when they had descended to Bethel,
3 Pada waktu itu keluarlah rombongan nabi yang ada di Betel mendapatkan Elisa, lalu berkatalah mereka kepadanya: "Sudahkah engkau tahu, bahwa pada hari ini tuanmu akan diambil dari padamu oleh TUHAN terangkat ke sorga?" Jawabnya: "Aku juga tahu, diamlah!"
the sons of the prophets, who were at Bethel, went out to Elisha. And they said to him, “Do you not know that today the Lord will take away your lord from you?” And he responded: “I know it. Be silent.”
4 Berkatalah Elia kepadanya: "Hai Elisa, baiklah tinggal di sini, sebab TUHAN menyuruh aku ke Yerikho." Tetapi jawabnya: "Demi TUHAN yang hidup dan demi hidupmu sendiri, sesungguhnya aku tidak akan meninggalkan engkau." Lalu sampailah mereka di Yerikho.
Then Elijah said to Elisha: “Remain here. For the Lord has sent me to Jericho.” And he said, “As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not forsake you.” And when they had arrived at Jericho,
5 Pada waktu itu mendekatlah rombongan nabi yang ada di Yerikho kepada Elisa serta berkata kepadanya: "Sudahkah engkau tahu, bahwa pada hari ini tuanmu akan diambil dari padamu oleh TUHAN terangkat ke sorga?" Jawabnya: "Aku juga tahu, diamlah!"
the sons of the prophets, who were at Jericho, drew near to Elisha. And they said to him, “Do you not know that today the Lord will take away your lord from you?” And he said: “I know it. Be silent.”
6 Berkatalah Elia kepadanya: "Baiklah tinggal di sini, sebab TUHAN menyuruh aku ke sungai Yordan." Jawabnya: "Demi TUHAN yang hidup dan demi hidupmu sendiri, sesungguhnya aku tidak akan meninggalkan engkau." Lalu berjalanlah keduanya.
Then Elijah said to him: “Remain here. For the Lord has sent me as far as the Jordan.” And he said, “As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not forsake you.” And so, the two of them continued on together.
7 Lima puluh orang dari rombongan nabi itu ikut berjalan, tetapi mereka berdiri memandang dari jauh, ketika keduanya berdiri di tepi sungai Yordan.
And fifty men from the sons of the prophets followed them, and they stood opposite them, at a distance. But the two of them were standing above the Jordan.
8 Lalu Elia mengambil jubahnya, digulungnya, dipukulkannya ke atas air itu, maka terbagilah air itu ke sebelah sini dan ke sebelah sana, sehingga menyeberanglah keduanya dengan berjalan di tanah yang kering.
And Elijah took his cloak, and he rolled it up, and he struck the waters, which were divided into two parts. And they both went across on dry ground.
9 Dan sesudah mereka sampai di seberang, berkatalah Elia kepada Elisa: "Mintalah apa yang hendak kulakukan kepadamu, sebelum aku terangkat dari padamu." Jawab Elisa: "Biarlah kiranya aku mendapat dua bagian dari rohmu."
And when they had gone across, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what you wish that I may do for you, before I am taken from you.” And Elisha said, “I beg you, that twice your spirit may be accomplished in me.”
10 Berkatalah Elia: "Yang kauminta itu adalah sukar. Tetapi jika engkau dapat melihat aku terangkat dari padamu, akan terjadilah kepadamu seperti yang demikian, dan jika tidak, tidak akan terjadi."
And he responded: “You have requested a difficult thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, you will have what you requested. But if you do not see, it shall not be.”
11 Sedang mereka berjalan terus sambil berkata-kata, tiba-tiba datanglah kereta berapi dengan kuda berapi memisahkan keduanya, lalu naiklah Elia ke sorga dalam angin badai.
And as they continued on, they were conversing while walking. And behold, a fiery chariot with fiery horses divided the two. And Elijah ascended by a whirlwind into heaven.
12 Ketika Elisa melihat itu, maka berteriaklah ia: "Bapaku, bapaku! Kereta Israel dan orang-orangnya yang berkuda!" Kemudian tidak dilihatnya lagi, lalu direnggutkannya pakaiannya dan dikoyakkannya menjadi dua koyakan.
Then Elisha saw it, and he cried out: “My father, my father! The chariot of Israel with its driver!” And he saw him no more. And he took hold of his own garments, and he tore them into two parts.
13 Sesudah itu dipungutnya jubah Elia yang telah terjatuh, lalu ia berjalan hendak pulang dan berdiri di tepi sungai Yordan.
And he picked up the cloak of Elijah, which had fallen from him. And turning back, he stood above the bank of the Jordan.
14 Ia mengambil jubah Elia yang telah terjatuh itu, dipukulkannya ke atas air itu sambil berseru: "Di manakah TUHAN, Allah Elia?" Ia memukul air itu, lalu terbagi ke sebelah sini dan ke sebelah sana, maka menyeberanglah Elisa.
And he struck the waters with the cloak of Elijah, which had fallen from him, and they were not divided. And he said, “Where is the God of Elijah, even now?” And he struck the waters, and they were divided here and there. And Elisha went across.
15 Ketika rombongan nabi yang dari Yerikho itu melihat dia dari jauh, mereka berkata: "Roh Elia telah hinggap pada Elisa." Mereka datang menemui dia, lalu sujudlah mereka kepadanya sampai ke tanah.
Then the sons of the prophets, who were at Jericho, watching from a distance, said, “The spirit of Elijah has rested upon Elisha.” And approaching to meet him, they reverenced him prone on the ground.
16 Mereka berkata: "Coba lihat! Di antara hamba-hambamu ini ada lima puluh orang laki-laki, orang-orang tangkas. Biarlah mereka itu pergi mencari tuanmu, jangan-jangan ia diangkat oleh Roh TUHAN dan dilemparkan-Nya ke atas salah satu gunung atau ke dalam salah satu lembah." Elisa menjawab: "Janganlah suruh pergi!"
And they said to him, “Behold, with your servants there are fifty strong men, who are able to go forth and to seek your lord. For perhaps, the Spirit of the Lord has taken him up and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley.” But he said, “Do not send them.”
17 Tetapi ketika mereka mendesak-desak dia sampai memalukan, maka berkatalah ia: "Suruhlah pergi!" Mereka menyuruh lima puluh orang. Orang-orang ini mencari tiga hari lamanya, tetapi tidak bertemu dengan Elia.
And they urged him, until he acquiesced and said, “Send them.” And they sent fifty men. And after they had searched for three days, they did not find him.
18 Ketika mereka kembali kepada Elisa yang masih tinggal di kota Yerikho, berkatalah ia kepada mereka: "Bukankah telah kukatakan kepadamu: Jangan pergi?"
And they returned to him, for he was living in Jericho. And he said to them: “Did I not say to you, ‘Do not send them?’”
19 Berkatalah penduduk kota itu kepada Elisa: "Cobalah lihat! Letaknya kota ini baik, seperti tuanku lihat, tetapi airnya tidak baik dan di negeri ini sering ada keguguran bayi."
Also, the men of the city said to Elisha: “Behold, this city is a very good habitation, as you yourself perceive, O lord. But the waters are very bad, and the ground is barren.”
20 Jawabnya: "Ambillah sebuah pinggan baru bagiku dan taruhlah garam ke dalamnya." Maka mereka membawa pinggan itu kepadanya.
And so he said, “Bring a new vessel to me, and place salt in it.” And when they had brought it,
21 Kemudian pergilah ia ke mata air mereka dan melemparkan garam itu ke dalamnya serta berkata: "Beginilah firman TUHAN: Telah Kusehatkan air ini, maka tidak akan terjadi lagi olehnya kematian atau keguguran bayi."
he went out to the source of the waters, and he cast the salt into it. And he said: “Thus says the Lord: I have healed these waters, and no longer shall there be death or barrenness in them.”
22 Demikianlah air itu menjadi sehat sampai hari ini sesuai dengan firman yang telah disampaikan Elisa.
Then the waters were healed, even to this day, in accord with the word of Elisha, which he spoke.
23 Elisa pergi dari sana ke Betel. Dan sedang ia mendaki, maka keluarlah anak-anak dari kota itu, lalu mencemoohkan dia serta berseru kepadanya: "Naiklah botak, naiklah botak!"
Then he went up from there into Bethel. And as he was ascending along the way, little boys departed from the city. And they were mocking him, saying: “Go up, bald head! Go up, bald head!”
24 Lalu berpalinglah ia ke belakang, dan ketika ia melihat mereka, dikutuknyalah mereka demi nama TUHAN. Maka keluarlah dua ekor beruang dari hutan, lalu mencabik-cabik dari mereka empat puluh dua orang anak.
And when he had looked back, he saw them, and he cursed them in the name of the Lord. And two bears went out from the forest, and they wounded forty-two boys among them.
25 Dari sana pergilah ia ke gunung Karmel dan dari sana pula kembalilah ia ke Samaria.
Then he went away from there to mount Carmel. And he returned from there into Samaria.
