列王記Ⅱ 2
1 ヱホバ大風をもてエリヤを天に昇らしめんとしたまふ時エリヤはエリシヤとともにギルガルより出往り
And it came to pass when Jehovah would take up Elijah into the heavens by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
2 エリヤ、エリシヤにいひけるは請ふここに止まれヱホバわれをベテルに遣はしたまふなりとエリシヤいひけるはヱホバは活く汝の霊魂は活く我なんぢをはなれじと彼等つひにベテルに下れり
And Elijah said to Elisha, Abide here, I pray thee; for Jehovah has sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee! So they went down to Bethel.
3 ベテルに在る預言者の徒エリシヤの許に出きたりて之にいひけるはヱホバの今日なんぢの主をなんぢの首の上よりとらんとしたまふを汝知やかれいふ然りわれ知り汝等默すべし
And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said to him, Dost thou know that Jehovah will take away thy master from over thy head to-day? And he said, I also know it: be silent!
4 エリヤかれにいひけるはエリシヤよ請ふ汝ここに止れヱホバわれをヱリコに遣したまふなりとエリシヤいふヱホバは活くなんぢの霊魂は活く我なんぢを離じとかれらヱリコにいたる
And Elijah said to him, Elisha, abide here, I pray thee; for Jehovah has sent me to Jericho. And he said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee! And they came to Jericho.
5 ヱリコに在る預言者の徒エリシヤに詣りて彼にいひけるはヱホバの今日なんぢの主をなんぢの首の上よりとらんとしたまふを汝知るやエリシヤ言ふ然り知り汝ら默すべしと
And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho drew near to Elisha and said to him, Dost thou know that Jehovah will take away thy master from over thy head to-day? And he said, I also know it: be silent!
6 エリヤまたかれにいひけるは請ふここに止れヱホバわれをヨルダンにつかはしたまふなりとかれいふヱホバは活くなんぢの霊魂は活くわれ汝をはなれじと二人進ゆくに
And Elijah said to him, Abide here, I pray thee; for Jehovah has sent me to the Jordan. And he said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee! And they two went on.
7 預言者の徒五十人ゆきて遥に立て望めり彼ら二人はヨルダンの濱に立けるが
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite afar off; and they two stood by the Jordan.
8 エリヤその外套をとりて之を巻き水をうちけるに此旁と彼旁にわかれたれば二人は乾ける土の上をわたれり
And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither; and they two went over on dry ground.
9 渉りける時エリヤ、エリシヤにいひけるは我が取れてなんぢを離るる前に汝わが汝になすべきことを求めよエリシヤいひけるはなんぢの霊の二の分の我にをらんことを願ふ
And it came to pass when they had gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I am taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
10 エリヤいひけるは汝難き事を求む汝もしわが取れてなんぢを離るるを見ばこの事なんぢにならんしからずば此事なんぢにならじ
And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so to thee; but if not, it shall not be [so].
11 彼ら進みながら語れる時火の車と火の馬あらはれて二人を隔てたりエリヤは大風にのりて天に昇れり
And it came to pass as they went on, and talked, that behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire; and they parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into the heavens.
12 エリシヤ見てわが父わが父イスラエルの兵車よその騎兵よと叫びしが／再びかれを見ざりき是においてエリシヤその衣をとらへて之を二片に裂き
And Elisha saw [it], and he cried, My father, my father! the chariot of Israel and the horsemen thereof! And he saw him no more. Then he took hold of his own garments and rent them in two pieces.
13 エリヤの身よりおちたるその外套をとりあげ返りてヨルダンの岸に立ち
And he took up the mantle of Elijah which fell from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan;
14 エリヤの身よりおちたる外套をとりて水をうちエリヤの神ヱホバはいづくにいますやと言ひ而して己も水をうちけるに水此旁と彼旁に分れたればエリシヤすなはち渡れり
and he took the mantle of Elijah which had fallen from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is Jehovah, the God of Elijah? He also smote the waters, and they parted hither and thither, and Elisha went over.
15 ヱリコにある預言者の徒對岸にありて彼を見て言けるはエリヤの霊エリシヤの上にとどまるとかれら來りてかれを迎へその前に地に伏て
And the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho on the opposite side saw him, and they said, The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him,
16 かれにいひけるは僕等に勇力者五十人あり請ふかれらをして往てなんぢの主を尋ねしめよ恐くはヱホバの霊かれを曳あげてこれを或山か或谷に放ちしならんとエリシヤ遣すなかれと言けれども
and said to him, Behold now, there are with thy servants fifty valiant men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master, lest perhaps the Spirit of Jehovah have taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some ravine. And he said, Ye shall not send.
17 かれら彼の愧るまでに強ければすなはち遣せといへり是に於てかれら五十人の者を遣しけるが三日の間たづねたれども彼を看いださざりしかば
And they pressed him till he was ashamed, and he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men, and they sought three days, but did not find him.
18 エリシヤの尚ヱリコに止れる時かれら返りてかれの許にいたりしにエリシヤかれらに言けるはわれ往ことなかれと汝らにいひしにあらずやと
And they came again to him (now he was staying at Jericho); and he said to them, Did I not say to you, Go not?
19 邑の人々エリシヤにいひけるは視よ吾主の見たまふごとく此邑の建る處は善しされど水あしくしてこの地流產をおこす
And the men of the city said to Elisha, Behold now, the situation of the city is good, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land is barren.
20 かれ言けるは新しき皿に鹽を盛て我に持ち來れよと乃ちもちきたりければ
And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt in it. And they brought it to him.
21 彼いでて水の源に至り鹽を其處になげ入ていひけるはヱホバかくいひたまふわれこの水を愈す此處よりして重て死あるひは流產おこらじと
And he went forth to the source of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith Jehovah: I have healed these waters: there shall not be from thence any more death or barrenness.
22 其水すなはちエリシヤのいひし如くに愈て今日にいたる
And the waters were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke.
23 かれそこよりベテルに上りしが上りて途にありけるとき小童等邑よりいでて彼を嘲り彼にむかひて禿首よのぼれ禿首よのぼれといひければ
And he went up from thence to Bethel, and as he went up by the way, there came forth little boys out of the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, bald head; go up, bald head!
24 かれ回轉りてかれらをみヱホバの名をもてかれらを呪詛ひければ林の中より二頭の牝熊出てその兒子輩の中四十二人をさきたり
And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of Jehovah. And there came forth two she-bears out of the wood, and tore forty-two children of them.
25 かれ彼處よりカルメル山にゆき其處よりサマリヤにかへれり
And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
