2 Mpanjaka 2
1 Ie amy zao, naho fa honjone’ Iehovà an-tangololahy mb’an-dikerañe añe t’i Elià, le nindreza’ i Elià lia t’i Elisà mb’e Gilgale añe.
And when the Lord would take vp Eliiah into heauen by a whirle winde, Eliiah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
2 Le hoe t’i Elià amy Elisà: Ehe, eo hey irehe, fa nampihitrife’ Iehovà mb’e Betele añe iraho. Aa hoe t’i Elisà, Kanao veloñe t’i Iehovà naho veloñe ty arofo’o, izaho tsy hieng’ azo. Aa le nizotso mb’e Betele mb’eo iereo.
Then Eliiah saide to Elisha, Tarie here, I pray thee: for the Lord hath sent me to Bethel. But Elisha said, As the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth, I will not leaue thee. So they came downe to Beth-el.
3 (Nimb’ amy Elisà mb’eo o anam-pitoky e Beteleo nanao ama’e ty hoe: Fohi’o hao te hasita’ Iehovà boak’ ambone’o ty talè’o te anito? Le hoe re: Eka ‘nio apotako; mianjina.)
And the children of the Prophets that were at Beth-el, came out to Elisha, and said vnto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take thy master from thine head this day? And he said, Yea, I knowe it: holde ye your peace.
4 Le hoe t’i Elià ama’e: O Elisà, Ehe eo hey irehe, fa nampisangitrife’ Iehovà mb’e Ieriko mb’eo iraho. Aa hoe re, Kanao veloñe t’i Iehovà naho veloñe ty arofo’o, tsy hengako. Aa le nimb’e Ieriko mb’eo iereo.
Againe Eliiah saide vnto him, Elisha, tarie here, I pray thee: for the Lord hath sent me to Iericho: But he said, As the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth, I will not leaue thee. So they came to Iericho.
5 (Nimb’ amy Elisà mb’eo o anam-pitoky e Ierikoo nanao ty hoe ama’e: Fohi’o hao te hasita’ Iehovà tsy ho ambone’o ty talè’o te anito? Le hoe re: Eka, apotako: mianjina.)
And the children of the Prophets that were at Iericho, came to Elisha, and saide vnto him, Knowest thou, that the Lord will take thy master from thine head this day? And he sayde, Yea, I knowe it: holde ye your peace.
6 Le hoe t’i Elià ama’e: Ehe, eo hey irehe, fa nirahe’ Iehovà mb’ am’ Iordaney mb’ eo iraho, le hoe re: Kanao veloñe t’i Iehovà, naho veloñe ty arofo’o, izaho tsy hieng’azo. Aa le nimb’eo i roroey.
Moreouer Eliiah saide vnto him, Tarie, I pray thee, here: for the Lord hath sent me to Iorden. But he saide, As the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth, I will not leaue thee. So they went both together.
7 Nimb’eo ka ty limampolo amo anam-pitokio le nijohañe tandrife iareo ey; vaho nijohañe añ’ olo’ Iordaney i roey.
And fiftie men of the sonnes of the Prophets went and stoode on the other side a farre off, and they two stoode by Iorden.
8 Rinambe’ i Elià i sarimbo’ey le naholonkolo’e naho linafa’e i ranoy naho nivaky roe mb’atia mb’ etia vaho nitsak’ an-tane maike ie roe.
Then Eliiah tooke his cloke, and wrapt it together, and smote the waters, and they were deuided hither and thither, and they twaine went ouer on the dry lande.
9 Naho tafatsake, le hoe t’i Elià amy Elisà; Halalio ze hanoeko ho azo, aolo’ te ho rambeseñe ama’o. Le hoe t’i Elisà: Ehe, te hanañ’ anjara roe amy arofo’oy iraho.
Nowe when they were passed ouer, Eliiah saide vnto Elisha, Aske what I shall doe for thee before I be taken from thee. And Elisha saide, I pray thee, let thy Spirit be double vpon me.
10 Le hoe re: Raha sarotse i nihalalia’oy f’ie mahaisak’ ahy te ampisitaheñe ama’o, le ho azo’o; fa naho tsy izay, le ho tsie.
And he saide, Thou hast asked an hard thing: yet if thou see me when I am taken from thee, thou shalt haue it so: and if not, it shall not be.
11 Aa ie nitolom-pañavelo mb’eo nifanaontsy, le nisodehañe eo ty sareten’ afo naho soavalan’ afo nampiria iereo roe le nionjoñe an-tangololahy mb’ andikerañe añe t’i Elià.
And as they went walking and talking, beholde, there appeared a charet of fire, and horses of fire, and did separate them twaine. So Eliiah went vp by a whirle winde into heauen.
12 Niisa’ i Elisà, le hoe ty fipaza’e: Raeko, Raeko, o sarete’ Israeleo, naho o mpiningi’eo! le tsy nioni’e ka; rinambe’e amy zao o siki’eo vaho rinia’e roe.
And Elisha saw it, and he cryed, My father, my father, the charet of Israel, and the horsemen thereof: and he sawe him no more: and he tooke his owne clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
13 Rinambe’e ka i sarimbo’ i Elià nipok’ ama’ey le nibalike vaho nijohañe añ’ olo’ Iordaney eo.
He tooke vp also the cloke of Eliiah that fell from him, and returned, and stoode by the banke of Iorden.
14 Rinambe’e i sarimbo’ i Elià nipok’ama’ey le linafa’e i ranoy ami’ty hoe: Aia t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ i Elià? aa ie linafa’e o ranoo, le nifampiria mb’atia, mb’etia; le nitsake t’i Elisà.
After, he tooke the cloke of Eliiah, that fell from him, and smote the waters, and sayde, Where is the Lord God of Eliiah? And so he also, after he had striken the waters, so that they were deuided this way and that way, went ouer, euen Elisha.
15 Aa ie niisa’ o anam-pitoki’ Ieriko eio, le hoe iereo: Mipetak’ amy Elisà ty arofo’ i Elià. Le nimb’ ama’e mb’eo nifanalaka ama’e vaho nibokoboko an-tane añatrefa’e.
And when the children of the Prophets, which were at Iericho, saw him on the other side, they sayde, The Spirite of Eliiah doeth rest on Elisha: and they came to meete him, and fell to the grounde before him,
16 Le hoe ty asa’ iareo ama’e: Ingo hey ty lahilahy maozatse limampolo amo mpitoro’oo; ehe, ampihitrifo, hipay i talè’oy, hera nampionjone’ i Kofò’ Iehovày vaho nahifi’e an-kaboañ’ ey ndra am-bavatane ao. Le hoe re. Ko mañitrike.
And said vnto him, Beholde nowe, there be with thy seruants fiftie strong men: let them go, we pray thee, and seeke thy master, if so be the Spirite of the Lord hath taken him vp, and cast him vpon some mountaine, or into some valley. But he said, Ye shall not sende.
17 F’ie nañosik’ aze am-para’ t’ie niheve, le hoe re: Iraho! le nirahe’ iereo i lahilahy limampolo rey; nitsoeaha’ iareo telo andro fa tsy nahatrea.
Yet they were instant vpon him, til he was ashamed: wherefore he saide, Sende. So they sent fiftie men, which sought three dayes, but founde him not.
18 Nimpoly ama’e iereo ie nitambatse e Ieriko ao, le hoe re am’ iereo, tsy nivolañeko hao ty hoe: Ko mb’eo?
Therefore they returned to him, (for he taryed at Iericho) and he said vnto them, Did not I say vnto you, Goe not?
19 Nanao ty hoe amy Elisà ondati’ i rovaio: Ehe mahaisaha te fanjaka ty toe’ ty rova toy, ampahaoniñan- talèko; fe raty ty rano’e, vaho tsy mamokatse o taneo.
And the men of the citie saide vnto Elisha, Beholde, we pray thee: the situation of this citie is pleasant, as thou, my lorde, seest, but the water is naught, and the ground baren.
20 Aa le hoe re: Endeso korobo vao iraho le ajoño ama’e ty sira. Le nandesa’ iereo.
Then he saide, Bring me a newe cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.
21 Le nionjomb’ amo rano manganahanao re naho nahifi’e ama’e i siray, vaho nanao ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà, fa jinangako o rano retoañe, tsy ama’e ka henane zao ty fampihomahañe ndra ty tsy havokarañe.
And he went vnto the spring of the waters, and cast there the salt, and said, Thus saith the Lord, I haue healed this water: death shall no more come thereof, neither barennesse to the ground.
22 Aa le nivoatse i ranoy pake henane ty amy saontsi’ i Elisà nitaroñe’ey.
So the waters were healed vntill this day, according to the worde of Elisha which hee had spoken.
23 Nienga re vaho nionjomb’e Betele añe; aa ie nañavelo an-dalam-b’eo, teo ty ajaja niakatse i rovay nikizak’ aze ami’ ty hoe: Mionjona ty sola, mionjona ty sola;
And he went vp from thence vnto Beth-el. And as he was going vp the way, litle children came out of the citie, and mocked him, and saide vnto him, Come vp, thou balde head, come vp, thou balde head.
24 Nitolike mañamboho re nahaisake iareo le nozoñe’e ami’ty tahina’ Iehovà. Aa le niakatse boak’ amy alay ty dobe rene’e roe, nandrimitse ty efapolo-ro’ amby am’ iereo.
And he turned backe, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And two beares came out of the forest, and tare in pieces two and fourtie children of them.
25 Boak’ ao re nimb’e Karmele añe, le hirik’ao nimpoly mb’e Somerone añe.
So he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
