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.
It happened, when Jehovah would take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah 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.
Elijah said to Elisha, "Please wait here, for Jehovah has sent me as far as Bethel." Elisha said, "As Jehovah lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." So they went down to Bethel.
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.)
The sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, "Do you know that Jehovah will take away your master from your head today?" He said, "Yes, I know it; hold 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.
Elijah said to him, "Elisha, please wait here, for Jehovah has sent me to Jericho." He said, "As Jehovah lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." So they came to Jericho.
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.)
The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came near to Elisha, and said to him, "Do you know that Jehovah will take away your master from your head today?" He answered, "Yes, I know it. Hold 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.
Elijah said to him, "Please wait here, for Jehovah has sent me to the Jordan." He said, "As Jehovah lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." They both went on.
7 Nimb’eo ka ty limampolo amo anam-pitokio le nijohañe tandrife iareo ey; vaho nijohañe añ’ olo’ Iordaney i roey.
Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both stood by the Jordan.
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.
Elijah took his cloak, and wrapped it together, and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that the two of them went over on dry ground.
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.
It happened, when they had gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you." Elisha said, "Please let a double portion of your spirit be on 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.
He said, "You have asked a hard thing. If you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so."
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.
It happened, as they still went on, and talked, that look, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
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.
Elisha saw it, and he cried, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen." He saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and tore them in two pieces.
13 Rinambe’e ka i sarimbo’ i Elià nipok’ ama’ey le nibalike vaho nijohañe añ’ olo’ Iordaney eo.
And he picked up the cloak of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of the Jordan.
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.
And he took the cloak of Elijah that fell from him, and struck the water, and it did not divide. And he said, "Where is Jehovah, the God of Elijah, even he?" And he struck the water a second time, and they divided to the one side and to the other; and Elisha crossed over.
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.
When the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho over against him saw him, they said, "The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha." They came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground 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 they said to him, "See now, there are with your servants fifty strong men. Please let them go and seek your master. Perhaps the Spirit of Jehovah has taken him up and thrown him into the Jordan, or on some mountain, or into some valley." And he said, "Do not send them."
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.
When they urged him until he was ashamed, he said, "Send them." They sent therefore fifty men; and they searched for three days, but did not find him.
18 Nimpoly ama’e iereo ie nitambatse e Ieriko ao, le hoe re am’ iereo, tsy nivolañeko hao ty hoe: Ko mb’eo?
They came back to him, while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, "Did I not tell you not to go?"
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.
The men of the city said to Elisha, "Look, please, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land miscarries."
20 Aa le hoe re: Endeso korobo vao iraho le ajoño ama’e ty sira. Le nandesa’ iereo.
He said, "Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it." 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.
He went out to the spring of the waters, and threw salt into it, and said, "Thus says Jehovah, 'I have healed these waters. There shall not be from there any more death or miscarrying.'"
22 Aa le nivoatse i ranoy pake henane ty amy saontsi’ i Elisà nitaroñe’ey.
So the waters were healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.
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;
He went up from there to Bethel. As he was going up by the way, some youths came out of the city and mocked him, and said to him, "Go up, you baldy. Go up, you baldhead."
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.
He looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the name of Jehovah. Two female bears came out of the woods, and mauled forty-two of those youths.
25 Boak’ ao re nimb’e Karmele añe, le hirik’ao nimpoly mb’e Somerone añe.
He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
