< २ राजाहरू 2 >
1 जब परमप्रभुले एलियालाई हावाको भूमरीद्वारा उठाएर स्वर्गमा लानै लाग्नुभएको थियो, तब एलीशालाई साथ लिएर एलिया गिलगालबाट गए ।
And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
2 एलियाले एलीशालाई भने, “कृपागरी यहीँ बस, किनकि परमप्रभुले मलाई बेथेलमा पठाउनुभएको छ ।” एलीशाले जवाफ दिए, “परमप्रभु र तपाईंको नाउँमा शपथ खाएर भन्छु, म तपाईंलाई छोड्नेछैनँ ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरू बेथेलमा झरे ।
And Elijah said to Elisha, Tarry here, I pray you; for the LORD has sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said to him, As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. So they went down to Bethel.
3 बेथेलमा भएका अगमवक्ताहरूका छोराहरू एलीशाकहाँ आए र तिनलाई भने, “परमप्रभुले आज तपाईंका मालिकलाई तपाईंबाट लानुहुनेछ भनी के तपाईंलाई थाहा छ?” एलीशाले जवाफ दिए, “हो, मलाई थाहा छ, तर यसबारेमा कुरा नगर ।”
And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said to him, Know you that the LORD will take away your master from your head to day? And he said, Yes, I know it; hold you your peace.
4 एलियाले तिनलाई भने, “एलीशा, कृपागरी यहीँ बस, किनकि परमप्रभुले मलाई यरीहोमा पठाउनुभएको छ ।” तब एलीशाले जवाफ दिए, “परमप्रभु र तपाईंको नाउँमा शपथ खाएर भन्छु, म तपाईंलाई छोड्नेछैनँ ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरू यरीहोमा गए ।
And Elijah said to him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray you; for the LORD has sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. So they came to Jericho.
5 तब यरीहोमा भएका अगमवक्ताहरूका छोराहरू एलीशाकहाँ आए र तिनलाई भने, “परमप्रभुले आज तपाईंका मालिकलाई तपाईंबाट लानुहुनेछ भनी के तपाईंलाई थाहा छ?” एलीशाले जवाफ दिए, “हो, मलाई थाहा छ, तर यसबारेमा कुरा नगर ।”
And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said to him, Know you that the LORD will take away your master from your head to day? And he answered, Yes, I know it; hold you your peace.
6 तब एलियाले तिनलाई भने, “कृपागरी, यहीँ बस, किनकि परमप्रभुले मलाई यर्दनमा पठाउनुभएको छ ।” एलीशाले जवाफ दिए, “परमप्रभु र तपाईंको नाउँमा शपथ खाएर भन्छु, म तपाईंलाई छोड्नेछैनँ ।” त्यसैले ती दुई जना गइरहे ।
And Elijah said to him, Tarry, I pray you, here; for the LORD has sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. And they two went on.
7 पछि यी दुई जना यर्दन नदीनेर उभिरहँदा तिनीहरूका सामु अगमवक्ताहरू पचास जना छोराहरू उभिए ।
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan.
8 एलियाले आफ्नो खास्टो उतारे, त्यसलाई बेह्रे अनि त्यसले पानीलाई हिर्काए । नदी दुईतिर विभाजित भयो जसको कारणले ती दुई जना सुक्खा जमिनबाट हिंडे ।
And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided here and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground.
9 तिनीहरू पारि पुगेपछि एलियाले एलीशालाई भने, “तिमीबाट मलाई लानुअघि तिम्रो निम्ति मैले के गर्नुपर्छ मलाई भन?” एलीशाले जवाफ दिए, “तपाईंको आत्माको दोब्बर भाग ममा आउन दिनुहोस् ।”
And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha, Ask what I shall do for you, before I be taken away from you. And Elisha said, I pray you, let a double portion of your spirit be on me.
10 एलियाले भने, “तिमीले कठिन कुरा मागेका छौ । तापनि तिमीबाट मलाई लगिएको तिमीले देख्यौ भने, तिम्रो निम्ति यो हुनेछ, तर देखेनौ भने, यो हुनेछैन ।”
And he said, You have asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so to you; but if not, it shall not be so.
11 तिनीहरू कुराकानी गर्दै अगाडि बढ्दा थिए, हेर, एउटा अग्निमय रथ र घोडाहरू देखा परे, जसले यी दुई जना मानिसलाई एक-अर्काबाट अलग गरिदियो, अनि एलिया हावाको भूमरीद्वारा स्वर्गमा लगिए ।
And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
12 एलीशाले यो देखे र तिनी चिच्च्याए, “हे मेरा पिता, हे मेरा पिता, इस्राएलका रथहरू र तिनीहरूका घोडाहरू!” तिनले एलियालाई फेरि देखेनन्, र तिनले आफ्ना वस्त्र समाते र दुई भागमा च्याते ।
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: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
13 तिनले एलियाबाट खसेको खास्टो उठाए र यर्दन नदीको किनारमा खडा हुनलाई फर्केर गए ।
He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;
14 एलियाबाट खसेको खास्टोले तिनले पानीलाई हिर्काए र भने, “एलियाका परमप्रभु परमेश्वर कहाँ हुनुहुन्छ? जब तिनले पानीलाई हिर्काए तब त्यो दुईतिर विभाजित भयो र एलीशा पारि गए ।
And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted here and thither: and Elisha went over.
15 जब यरीहोबाट आएका अगमवक्ताहरूका छोराहरूले तिनी पारि तरेको देखे तब तिनीहरूले भने, “एलियाका आत्माले एलीशामा बास गरेको छ ।” त्यसैले तिनलाई भेट्न तिनीहरू आए, र तिनको अघि आफैलाई भुइँसम्मै निहुराए ।
And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah does rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
16 तिनीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंका दासहरूका माझमा पचास जना बलिया मानिस छन् । हामी अनुरोध गर्छौं कि तिनीहरूलाई जान र तपाईंका मालिकको खोजी गर्न दिनुहोस्, कतै परमप्रभुका आत्माले तिनलाई माथि लानुभएको र तिनलाई कुनै पहाड वा उपत्यकामा फाल्नुभएको छ कि?” एलीशाले जवाफ दिए, “अहँ, तिनीहरूलाई नपठाओ ।”
And they said to him, Behold now, there be with your servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray you, and seek your master: lest peradventure the Spirit of the LORD has taken him up, and cast him on some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, You shall not send.
17 तर एलिशा लाजमा पारून्जेलसम्म तिनीहरूले बिन्ती गरेको हुनाले तिनले भने “तिनीहरूलाई पठाओ ।” तब तिनीहरूले पचास जना मानिस पठाए, र तिनीहरूले तिन दिनसम्म खोजी गरे, तर तिनलाई पाएनन् ।
And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not.
18 एलीशा यरीहोमा हुँदा तिनीहरू तिनीकहाँ फर्केर आए, र तिनले तिनीहरूलाई सोधे, “के 'नजाओ' भनी मैले तिमीहरूलाई भनेको थिइनँ र?”
And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho, ) he said to them, Did I not say to you, Go not?
19 सहरका मानिसहरूले एलीशालाई भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईं देख्न सक्नुहुन्छ यो सहरको अवस्था राम्रै छ, तर पानी दूषित छ, र जमिनले फल दिंदैन ।”
And the men of the city said to Elisha, Behold, I pray you, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees: but the water is naught, and the ground barren.
20 एलीशाले जवाफ दिए, “एउटा नयाँ कचौरा मकहाँ लेओ, र यसभित्र नून हाल ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरूले त्यो तिनीकहाँ ल्याए ।
And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.
21 एलीशा पानीको मुहानमा गए, र त्यसमा नुन छर्किदिए । तब तिनले भने, “परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'मैले यो पानीलाई शुद्ध पारेको छु । अब फेरि मृत्यु हुने वा फलविहीन जमिन हुनेछैन' ।”
And he went forth to the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus says the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from there any more death or barren land.
22 त्यसैले एलीशाले बोलेको वचनद्वारा आजको दिनसम्म पानी शुद्ध छ ।
So the waters were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke.
23 त्यसपछि एलीशा त्यहाँबाट बेथेलमा गए । तिनी बाटोमा जाँदै गर्दा सहरबाट केही केटाहरू आए र तिनको खिसी गरे। तिनीहरूले भने, “ए मुडुले, तिमी माथि जाऊ! ए मुडुले, तिमी माथि जाऊ!”
And he went up from there to Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, you bald head; go up, you bald head.
24 एलीशा आफ्नो पछाडि फर्के र तिनीहरूलाई देखे । तिनीहरूमाथि सराप परोस् भनी तिनले परमप्रभुलाई पुकारे । त्यसपछि जङ्गलबाट दुईवटा पोथी भालु निस्केर आयो र बयालिस जना केटाहरूलाई घाइते बनाए ।
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 wood, and tare forty and two children of them.
25 तब एलीशा त्यहाँबाट कर्मेल डाँडामा गए, र त्यहाँबाट तिनी सामरिया फर्के ।
And he went from there to mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
