Luo Tokosra 2
1 Sun pacl fal tuh LEUM GOD Elan usalak Elijah nu inkusrao in sie fohru.
When Yahweh was about to take [the prophet] Elijah up to heaven in a (whirlwind/twisting wind), Elijah and [his fellow prophet] Elisha were traveling [south] from Gilgal [town].
2 Ke eltal fahsr, Elijah el fahk nu sel Elisha, “Muta inse inge. LEUM GOD El sap ngan som nu Bethel.” Tusruktu Elisha el topuk, “Nga fulahk ke inse pwaye luk nu sin LEUM GOD moul, ac nu sum, lah nga ac fah tiana som liki kom.” Ouinge eltal tukeni som nu Bethel.
Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here, because Yahweh has told [only] me to go to Bethel [town].” But Elisha replied, “Just as certainly as Yahweh lives and you live, I will not leave you!” So they went down [together] to Bethel.
3 Sie un mwet palu su muta we elos som nu yorol Elisha ac siyuk sel, “Ku kom etu lah LEUM GOD El ac usla mwet kacto lom liki kom misenge?” Elisha el topuk, “Aok, nga etu. Tuh tari, kut tia sramsramkin.”
A group of prophets came to Elisha [and Elijah before they entered the town], and they asked Elisha, “Do you know that Yahweh is going to take your master/boss [Elijah] away from you today?” Elisha answered, “Certainly I know that, but don’t talk about it!” [IDM]
4 Na Elijah el fahk nu sel Elisha, “Muta inse inge. LEUM GOD El sap ngan som nu Jericho.” A Elisha el topuk, “Nga fulahk ke inse pwaye luk nu sin LEUM GOD moul, ac nu sum, lah nga ac fah tiana som liki kom.” Ouinge eltal tukeni som nu Jericho.
Then Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here, because Yahweh has told [only] me to go to Jericho.” But Elisha replied [again], “Just as certainly as Yahweh lives and you live, I will not leave you!” So they went [together] to Jericho [city].
5 Sie un mwet palu su muta we elos som nu yorol Elisha ac siyuk sel, “Ku kom etu lah LEUM GOD El ac usla mwet kacto lom liki kom misenge?” Elisha el topuk, “Aok, nga etu. Tuh tari, kut tia sramsramkin.”
[As they neared] Jericho, a group of prophets who were from there came to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that Yahweh is going to take your master/boss [Elijah] away from you today?” He answered again, “Certainly I know that, but don’t talk about it!” [IDM]
6 Na Elijah el fahk nu sel Elisha, “Inge, kom muta inse. LEUM GOD El sap ngan som nu Infacl Jordan.” Tuh Elisha el topuk, “Nga fulahk ke inse pwaye luk nu sin LEUM GOD moul, ac nu sum, lah nga fah tiana som liki kom.” Ouinge eltal fahla na,
Then Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here, because Yahweh has told [only] me to go to the Jordan [River].” But [again] Elisha replied, “As certainly as Yahweh lives and you live, I will not leave you!” So they continued walking together.
7 ac mwet palu lumngaul fahsr tokoltal nwe ke Infacl Jordan. Elijah ac Elisha tui ke infacl ah, ac mwet palu lumngaul ah tu loes kutu lukeltal.
Fifty men from a group of prophets [who were from Jericho] also went, but they watched from a distance as Elijah and Elisha stopped at the edge of the Jordan [River].
8 Na Elijah el sarukla nuknuk lik lal, lumla ac sang sringilya kof ah. Na kof ah fahsrelik, na el ac Elisha fahla nu lefahlo fin acn pao.
Then Elijah rolled up his cloak and struck the water with it. A path opened up for them through the river, and they walked across [as though they were] on dry ground.
9 Ke eltal sun lefahlo, Elijah el fahk nu sel Elisha, “Fahk nu sik lah mea kom lungse ngan oru nu sum meet liki utukla nga.” Elisha el topuk, “Ase nu sik ngan usrui ip luo ke ku lun ngunum, in akkalemye lah nga pa ac aol kom.”
When they came to the other side, Elijah said to Elisha, “What do you want me to do for you before (I am taken away/Yahweh takes me away)?” Elisha replied, “I want to receive twice as much of your power [as you have had, ] (OR enable me to very powerfully continue your ministry).”
10 Elijah el fahk, “Siyuk se ingan upana in orekla. Tusruktu kom ac fah eis kom fin liyeyu ke pacl se utukla nga liki kom. A kom fin tia liyeyu, kom fah tia eis.”
Elijah replied, “You have asked for something which is difficult [for me to cause to happen]. But, if you see me when (I am taken from you/Yahweh takes me from you), you will get what you are requesting. But if you do not see me, then you will not get it.”
11 Eltal fahsr na sramsram, ac in kitin pacl ah na, chariot e se, amakinyuk sin horse e, yuyak inmasrloltal twe eisal na Elijah, ac usalak nu inkusrao weak fohru se.
As they were walking and talking, suddenly a chariot that had fire [surrounding it], pulled by horses which also had fire [surrounding them], appeared. [The chariot driver] drove the chariot between Elijah and Elisha and separated them. Then Elijah was taken up to heaven in a (whirlwind/twisting wind).
12 Elisha el liye ac wola nu sel Elijah ac fahk, “Papa, papa! Mwet loango kulana lun Israel, kom wanginla!” Ac el tiana sifilpa liyal Elijah. Elisha el seya nuknuk lik se lal nu ke ip luo, ke sripen asor lal.
Elisha saw it. He cried out, “My father/master! My father/master! The chariots of us Israeli people and their drivers [have taken my master away]!” [They disappeared into the sky, ] and Elisha never saw Elijah again. Then Elisha tore his own robe into two pieces [to show that he was sad].
13 Na el srukak nuknuk lik lal Elijah ma putatla lukel, ac folokla tu pe Infacl Jordan.
Elijah’s cloak [had fallen off when he was taken away, so] Elisha picked it up and returned to the bank of the Jordan [River].
14 El sang nuknuk lik se lal Elijah ac sringilya kof ah, ac fahk, “El aya LEUM GOD, God lal Elijah?” Na el sifilpa sringilya kof ah, ac kof ah fahsrelik, na el fahla nu lefahl ngia.
He [rolled up the cloak and] struck the water with it, and cried out, “Will Yahweh, the God who [enabled] Elijah [to perform miracles, enable me to do similar things]?” Then the water separated, and a path opened up for him, and Elisha went across.
15 Mwet palu lumngaul lun acn Jericho liyalak ac fahk, “Ku lal Elijah oan facl Elisha!” Elos som in osun nu sel, ac faksufi ye mutal,
When the group of prophets from Jericho saw what happened, they exclaimed, “Elisha now has the power that Elijah had!” [MTY] They walked over to him and bowed down in front of him.
16 ac fahk, “Kut mwet lumngaul oasr inge, ac kut mwet na ku. Kut ku in som suk mwet kacto lom ah. Sahp ngun lun LEUM GOD usalla likilya fin eol uh ku ke infahlfal uh.” Elisha el topuk, “Mo. Nimet kowos som.”
[One of] them said, “Sir, if you permit us, 50 of our strongest men will go and search for your master [on the other side of the river]. Perhaps the Spirit of Yahweh has left him on some mountain or in some valley.” Elisha replied, “No, do not send them.”
17 Tuh elos kwafe nwe ke na el fuhlelosla elos som. Mwet lumngaul inge som sokol Elijah yen nukewa ke len tolu, tuh elos tiana konalak.
But they kept insisting. Finally he was tired of saying “No,” and he said, “Okay, send them.” So 50 men searched for three days, but they did not find Elijah.
18 Na elos folokla nu yorol Elisha, su muta soanelos in acn Jericho, ac el fahk nu selos, “Ya nga tia fahk mu kowos in tia som?”
They returned to Jericho, and Elisha was still there. He said to them, “I told you that you should not go, [because you would not find him]!” [RHQ]
19 Oasr kutu mwet Jericho som nu yorol Elisha ac fahk, “Kom liye na lah siti se inge siti na wowo se, tusruktu kof uh koluk, pwanang oasr na mutan pitutu ac musalla pitutu la.”
Then the leaders of [Jericho] city came to talk with Elisha. One of them said, “Our master, we have a problem. You can see that this is a very nice place [to live in]. But the water is bad, and as a result, crops will not grow on the land.”
20 Elisha el fahk, “Sang kutu sohl an nu in sie pol sasu ac use nu sik.” Elos use sang nu sel,
Elisha said to them, “Put some salt in a new bowl and bring the bowl to me.” So they brought it to him.
21 na el som nu ke unon in kof se we, ac sisang sohl ah nu in kof ah, ac fahk, “Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El fahk, ‘Nga aknasnasyela kof se inge, na ac fah tia sifilpa orala kutena mwet in misa ku kunausla pitutu lun mutan uh.’”
Then he went out to the spring [from which the people in the town got water]. He threw the salt into the spring. Then he said, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘I have made this water good/pure. No longer will anyone die, from having drunk this water, and now crops will be able to grow.’” [LIT]
22 Ac kof sac nasnasla oe in pacl sac me, oana ma Elisha el fahk uh.
And the water became pure, just as Elisha said it would be. Since that time it has always remained pure.
23 Elisha el som liki acn Jericho nu Bethel. Ke el fahsr inkanek ah, kutu tulik mukul tuku liki sie siti srisrik ac aksruksrukel. Elos wowo ac fahk, “Tiok liki acn inge, kom mangsrasra!”
Elisha left Jericho and went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, a group of young boys from Bethel [saw him and] started to make fun of him. They continued shouting, “Go away, you bald-headed man!”
24 Elisha el forla kororyak sueltalu, ac selngaweltal Inen LEUM GOD. Na bear mutan lukwa tuku inima uh me twe seseya monin angngaul luo sin tulik mukul inge.
Elisha turned around and looked/glared at them. He asked Yahweh to (curse them/do something bad to them). Immediately two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of them.
25 Na Elisha el fahla na som nwe Fineol Carmel, ac tok el folokla nu Samaria.
Elisha left Bethel and went to Carmel Mountain, and after that he returned to Samaria [city].
