< 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 was about to take up Elijah by a storm-wind to heaven, that Elijah went out 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 opposite [to them] afar off: and those two stood by the 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 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 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 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 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, 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 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 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 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 their horsemen. And he saw him no more; and he took hold of his clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
13 तिनले एलियाबाट खसेको खास्टो उठाए र यर्दन नदीको किनारमा खडा हुनलाई फर्केर गए ।
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 एलीशा यरीहोमा हुँदा तिनीहरू तिनीकहाँ फर्केर आए, र तिनले तिनीहरूलाई सोधे, “के 'नजाओ' भनी मैले तिमीहरूलाई भनेको थिइनँ र?”
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 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 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 एलीशाले जवाफ दिए, “एउटा नयाँ कचौरा मकहाँ लेओ, र यसभित्र नून हाल ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरूले त्यो तिनीकहाँ ल्याए ।
And he said, Fetch me a new flask, and put salt therein: and they fetched 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 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 त्यसैले एलीशाले बोलेको वचनद्वारा आजको दिनसम्म पानी शुद्ध छ ।
So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the word 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 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 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 forest, and tore of them forty and two boys.
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.
