< २ राजाहरू 2 >

1 जब परमप्रभुले एलियालाई हावाको भूमरीद्वारा उठाएर स्‍वर्गमा लानै लाग्‍नुभएको थियो, तब एलीशालाई साथ लिएर एलिया गिलगालबाट गए ।
It happened, when YHWH would take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, 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 ।
Elijah said to Elisha, "Please wait here, for YHWH has sent me as far as Bethel." Elisha said, "As YHWH 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 ।”
The sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, "Do you know that YHWH will take away your master from your head today?" He said, "Yes, I know it; hold 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 ।
Elijah said to him, "Elisha, please wait here, for YHWH has sent me to Jericho." He said, "As YHWH 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 ।”
The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came near to Elisha, and said to him, "Do you know that YHWH will take away your master from your head today?" He answered, "Yes, I know it. Hold 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 ।
Elijah said to him, "Please wait here, for YHWH has sent me to the Jordan." He said, "As YHWH lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." They both went on.
7 पछि यी दुई जना यर्दन नदीनेर उभिरहँदा तिनीहरूका सामु अगमवक्ताहरू पचास जना छोराहरू उभिए ।
Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both 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 ।
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 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 ।”
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 एलियाले भने, “तिमीले कठिन कुरा मागेका छौ । तापनि तिमीबाट मलाई लगिएको तिमीले देख्यौ भने, तिम्रो निम्‍ति यो हुनेछ, तर देखेनौ भने, यो हुनेछैन ।”
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 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 ।
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 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 ।
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 तिनले एलियाबाट खसेको खास्टो उठाए र यर्दन नदीको किनारमा खडा हुनलाई फर्केर गए ।
And he picked up the cloak of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank 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 cloak of Elijah that fell from him, and struck the water, and it did not divide. And he said, "Where is YHWH, 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 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 ।
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 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, "See now, there are with your servants fifty strong men. Please let them go and seek your master. Perhaps the Spirit of YHWH 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 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 ।
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 एलीशा यरीहोमा हुँदा तिनीहरू तिनीकहाँ फर्केर आए, र तिनले तिनीहरूलाई सोधे, “के 'नजाओ' भनी मैले तिमीहरूलाई भनेको थिइनँ र?”
They came back to him, while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, "Did I not tell you not to go?"
19 सहरका मानिसहरूले एलीशालाई भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईं देख्‍न सक्‍नुहुन्छ यो सहरको अवस्था राम्रै छ, तर पानी दूषित छ, र जमिनले फल दिंदैन ।”
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 एलीशाले जवाफ दिए, “एउटा नयाँ कचौरा मकहाँ लेओ, र यसभित्र नून हाल ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरूले त्‍यो तिनीकहाँ ल्याए ।
He said, "Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it." 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' ।”
He went out to the spring of the waters, and threw salt into it, and said, "Thus says YHWH, 'I have healed these waters. There shall not be from there any more death or miscarrying.'"
22 त्यसैले एलीशाले बोलेको वचनद्वारा आजको दिनसम्म पानी शुद्ध छ ।
So the waters were healed to 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!”
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 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 ।
He looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the name of YHWH. Two female bears came out of the woods, and mauled forty-two of those youths.
25 तब एलीशा त्यहाँबाट कर्मेल डाँडामा गए, र त्यहाँबाट तिनी सामरिया फर्के ।
He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
