< 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 Yahweh was about to take up Elijah in a storm into the heavens, that Elijah departed, 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 ।
Then said Elijah unto Elisha—Tarry here, I pray thee, for, Yahweh, hath sent me as far as Bethel. And Elisha said, By the life of Yahweh and by the life of thine own soul, I will not leave thee. 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 who were in Bethel came forth unto Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that, to-day, Yahweh is taking away thy lord, from thy head? And he said—I also, know, be silent.
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 ।
Then Elijah said to him—Elisha, I pray thee, tarry here, for, Yahweh, hath sent me to Jericho. And he said—By the life of Yahweh and by the life of thine own soul, 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 ।”
Then drew near the sons of the prophets who were in Jericho, unto Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that, to-day, Yahweh is taking away thy lord from thy head? And he said—I also, know; be silent.
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 here, I pray thee, for, Yahweh, hath sent me to the Jordan. And he said—By the life of Yahweh and by the life of thine own soul, I will not leave thee. So they two, went on.
7 पछि यी दुई जना यर्दन नदीनेर उभिरहँदा तिनीहरूका सामु अगमवक्ताहरू पचास जना छोराहरू उभिए ।
But, fifty men of the sons of the prophets, came, and stood over against them, afar off, —and, they 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 ।
Then Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided, hither and thither, —so that they two, passed 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, as they went over, that, Elijah, said unto Elisha—Ask, what I shall do for thee, ere yet I be taken 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 taken from thee, thou shall have it, so, but, if not, thou shalt not have it.
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 were going on and on and talking, that lo! there was a chariot of fire, with horses of fire, which parted, those two, asunder, —and Elijah went up in a storm, into the heavens.
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, as soon as Elisha saw it, he, began crying out—My father! my father! The chariots of Israel, and the horsemen thereof! But, when he could see him no longer, 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 ।
Then took he up the mantle of Elijah, which had fallen from him, —and returned and stood, on the brink 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 took the mantle of Elijah which had fallen from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is Yahweh, the God of Elijah? And, when, he also, smote the waters, they were divided, 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 in Jericho, over against him, saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah, resteth, on Elisha. So they came to meet him, and bowed themselves down to 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 ।”
Then said they unto him—Lo! we pray thee, there are with thy servants fifty men, sons of valour—let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy lord, lest the Spirit of Yahweh have borne him away, and cast him on one of the mountains, or into one of the valleys. And he said—Ye 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 ।
But, when they urged him until he was ashamed, he said—Send. So they sent fifty men, and made search 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 back unto him, he, having tarried at Jericho, he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Do 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, Lo! we pray thee, the situation of the city, is good, as, my lord, seeth, —but, the waters, are bad, and, the land, apt to miscarry.
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 bowl, and put therein, salt. So they brought it unto 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, saith, —and said—Thus, saith Yahweh, I have healed these waters; there shall come from thence, no longer, death or aptness to miscarry.
22 त्यसैले एलीशाले बोलेको वचनद्वारा आजको दिनसम्म पानी शुद्ध छ ।
So the waters were healed, [as they remain] unto this day, —according to the word of Elisha which he spake.
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 thence, to Bethel, —and, as he was going up on the way, some lads, came forth, out of the city, and made mockery of him, and said to 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, when he turned round and saw them, he cursed them, in the name of Yahweh, —and there came forth two she-bears out of the wood, and tare, of them, forty-two youths.
25 तब एलीशा त्यहाँबाट कर्मेल डाँडामा गए, र त्यहाँबाट तिनी सामरिया फर्के ।
And he went from thence, unto Mount Carmel, —and, from thence, he returned, to Samaria.
