2 Mpanjaka 2
1 Ary nony efa hampakarin’ i Jehovah ho any an-danitra amin’ ny tafio-drivotra Elia, dia niara-nandeha avy tany Gilgala izy sy Elisa.
And it came to pass, when the Lord was about to take up Elijah by a storm-wind to heaven, that Elijah went out with Elisha' from Gilgal.
2 Ary hoy Elia tamin’ i Elisa: Masìna ianao, mijanòna eto; fa Jehovah efa naniraka ahy hatrany Betela. Fa hoy Elisa: Raha velona koa Jehovah, ary raha velona koa ny ainao, tsy handao anao mihitsy aho. Ka dia nidina nankany Betela izy roa lahy.
And Elijah said unto Elisha', Remain, I pray thee, here; for the Lord hath sent me as far as Beth-el. But Elisha' said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Beth-el.
3 Ary nivoaka nankany amin’ i Elisa ireo zanaky ny mpaminany izay tao Betela ka nanao taminy hoe: Fantatrao va fa anio no hangalan’ i Jehovah ny tomponao hiala ho any ambonin’ ny lohanao? Dia hoy izy: Eny, fantatro ihany koa izany, fa mangìna ianareo.
And the sons of the prophets that were at Beth-el came forth to Elisha', and said unto him, Knowest thou that today the Lord will take away thy master from thy head? And he said, I also know it; be still.
4 Ary hoy Elia taminy: Masìna ianao, ry Elisa, mijanòna eto; fa Jehovah efa naniraka ahy ho any Jeriko. Fa hoy Elisa: Raha velona koa Jehovah, ary raha velona koa ny ainao, tsy handao anao mihitsy aho. Ka dia tonga tany Jeriko izy roa lahy.
And Elijah said unto him, Elisha', remain, I pray thee, here; for the Lord hath sent me to Jericho. But he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.
5 Ary ireo zanaky ny mpaminany izay tao Jeriko nanatona an’ i Elisa ka nanao taminy hoe: Fantatrao va fa anio no hangalan’ i Jehovah ny tomponao hiala ho any ambonin’ ny lohanao? Ary izy namaly hoe: Eny, fantatro ihany koa izany, fa mangìna ianareo.
And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came near to Elisha', and said unto him, Knowest thou that today the Lord will take away thy master from thy head? And he said, I also know it; be still.
6 Ary hoy Elia taminy: Masìna ianao, mijanòna eto; fa Jehovah efa naniraka ahy ho any Jordana. Fa hoy Elisa: Raha velona koa Jehovah, ary raha velona koa ny ainao, tsy handao anao mihitsy aho. Ary dia lasa nandeha izy roa lahy.
And Elijah said unto him, Remain, I pray thee, here; for the Lord hath sent me to the Jordan. But he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So these two went on.
7 Ary nisy dimam-polo lahy, zanaky ny mpaminany, nandeha, dia nijanona tandrifiny teny lavitra eny; fa izy roa lahy kosa nitsangana teo amoron’ i Jordana.
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood opposite [to them] afar off: and those two stood by the Jordan.
8 Ary Elia nandray ny kapôtiny ka namalona azy, dia nikapoka ny rano, ary nisaraka roa ny rano, ka dia nita tamin’ ny tany maina izy roa lahy.
And Elijah took his mantle, and folded it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, and they went, both of them, over on dry ground.
9 Ary nony efa tafita izy roa lahy, dia hoy Elia tamin’ i Elisa: Angataho izay hataoko ho anao, dieny tsy mbola misaraka aminao aho. Ary hoy Elisa: Masìna ianao, aoka ny anjaran-droa amin’ ny fanahinao mba ho ahy.
And it came to pass, when they passed over, that Elijah said unto Elisha', Ask what I shall do for thee, before I shall be taken away from thee. And Elisha' said, Let there be, I pray thee, a double portion of thy spirit upon me.
10 Fa hoy izy: Sarotra ny nangatahinao; kanefa raha mahita ahy misaraka aminao ianao, dia ho anao ihany izany; fa raha tsy izany kosa, dia tsy ho anao izany.
And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so [given] unto thee; but if not, it shall not be.
11 Ary raha mbola nandeha sy niresaka izy roa lahy, dia, indro, nisy kalesy afo sy soavaly afo nampisaraka azy roa lahy; ary Elia niakatra tamin’ ny tafio-drivotra ho any an-danitra.
And it came to pass, as they went on, speaking as they were going, that, behold, there came a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a storm-wind to heaven.
12 Ary raha nahita izany Elisa, dia niantso hoe: Ry ikaky ô, ry ikaky ô, eny kalesin’ ny Isiraely sy ny mpitaingin-tsoavaliny! Dia tsy nahita azy intsony izy. Ary noraisiny ny fitafiany ka notriariny roa.
And Elisha' saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and their horsemen. And he saw him no more; and he took hold of his clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
13 Ary nalainy ny kapôtin’ i Elia izay latsaka avy teny aminy, dia niverina izy ka nitsangana teo amoron’ i Jordana.
And he lifted up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and went back, and stood by the border of the Jordan;
14 Dia noraisin’ i Elisa ny kapôtin’ i Elia, ilay latsaka avy teny aminy, ka nakapony ny rano, dia hoy izy: Aiza Jehovah, Andriamanitr’ i Elia? Eny, Elisa koa nikapoka ny rano, dia nisaraka roa izany, ka dia nita izy.
And he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the Lord the God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither; and Elisha' passed over.
15 Ary raha nahita azy ireo ny zanaky ny mpaminany izay nanandrify azy teo Jeriko, dia nanao hoe: Ny fanahin’ i Elia efa mipetraka amin’ i Elisa. Ary nandeha nitsena azy ireo ka niankohoka tamin’ ny tany teo anatrehany.
And when the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho, at a distance, saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah Doth rest on Elisha'. And they came forth to meet him, and bowed themselves unto him to the ground.
16 Dia hoy ireo taminy: Indro, misy dimam-polo lahy matanjaka ato amin’ ny mpanomponao; masìna ianao, aoka handeha hitady ny tomponao ireo, fandrao naingain’ ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah izy ka nazerany any an-tendrombohitra anankiray, na any an-dohasaha anankiray. Fa hoy izy: Aza maniraka ianareo.
And they said unto him, Behold now, there are among thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master; peradventure the Spirit of the Lord hath taken him up, and cast him upon one of the mountains, or into one of the valleys. And he said, Ye must not send.
17 Ary raha nanery azy ireo mandra-pikaodikaodiny, dia hoy izy: Maniraha ary. Dia naniraka dimam-polo lahy izy; ary nitady azy hateloana ireny, fa tsy nahita.
And they urged him till he was ashamed, when he said, Send. And they sent fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not.
18 Ary tonga tao aminy indray ireny, raha mbola tao Jeriko ihany izy, dia hoy izy taminy: Tsy nilaza taminareo va aho nanao hoe: Aza mandeha?
And they returned again to him, for he had remained at Jericho; and he then said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Ye should not go?
19 Ary hoy ny mponina tao amin’ izany tanàna izany tamin’ i Elisa: Masìna ianao, indro, tsara toerana ity tanàna ity, tompoko, araka izao hitanao izao, saingy ratsy rano, ary ny tany tsy mampahavanon’ anaka.
And the men of the city said unto Elisha', Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is good, as my Lord seeth; but the water is bad, and the land causeth untimely births.
20 Dia hoy izy: Itondray lovia vaovao aho, ka asio sira ao anatiny. Dia nentiny tany aminy izany.
And he said, Fetch me a new flask, and put salt therein: and they fetched it to him.
21 Ary nivoaka nankany amin’ ilay niandohan’ ny rano izy, dia nanipy sira tao ka nanao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Efa nahatsara ity rano ity Aho; tsy hisy fahafatesana na tsi-fahavanonan’ anaka intsony hiseho eto.
And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast therein the salt, and said, Thus hath said the Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from there any more death or untimely births.
22 Ka dia tsara ny rano mandraka androany araka ny teny nataon’ i Elisa.
So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the word of Elisha' which he spoke.
23 Ary dia niakatra avy tao izy ka nankany Betela; ary nony niakatra teny an-dalana izy, dia, indreo, nisy ankizilahy madinika nivoaka avy tao an-tanàna ka nanakora azy hoe: Miakara, ry ilay sola; miakara, ry ilay sola!
And he went up from there to Beth-el: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth young lads out of the city, and they mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, bald-head! go up, bald-head!
24 Ary nitodika izy ka nahita azy, dia nanozona azy tamin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah. Ary dia nisy beravavy roa avy tany an’ ala namiravira roa amby efa-polo tamin’ ireo ankizilahy madinika ireo.
And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord; and there came forth two she-bears out of the forest, and tore of them forty and two boys.
25 Dia niala teo Elisa ka nankany an-tendrombohitra Karmela, ary avy tao no niverenany any Samaria.
And he went from there to mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
