२ राजाहरू 2
1 जब परमप्रभुले एलियालाई हावाको भूमरीद्वारा उठाएर स्वर्गमा लानै लाग्नुभएको थियो, तब एलीशालाई साथ लिएर एलिया गिलगालबाट गए ।
When Yahweh was about to take [the prophet] Elijah up to heaven in a (whirlwind/twisting wind), Elijah and [his fellow prophet] Elisha were traveling [south] from Gilgal [town].
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, “Stay here, because Yahweh has told [only] me to go to Bethel [town].” But Elisha replied, “Just as certainly as Yahweh lives and you live, I will not leave you!” So they went down [together] 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 ।”
A group of prophets came to Elisha [and Elijah before they entered the town], and they asked Elisha, “Do you know that Yahweh is going to take your master/boss [Elijah] away from you today?” Elisha answered, “Certainly I know that, but don’t talk about it!” [IDM]
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 Elisha, “Stay here, because Yahweh has told [only] me to go to Jericho.” But Elisha replied [again], “Just as certainly as Yahweh lives and you live, I will not leave you!” So they went [together] to Jericho [city].
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 ।”
[As they neared] Jericho, a group of prophets who were from there came to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that Yahweh is going to take your master/boss [Elijah] away from you today?” He answered again, “Certainly I know that, but don’t talk about it!” [IDM]
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 ।
Then Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here, because Yahweh has told [only] me to go to the Jordan [River].” But [again] Elisha replied, “As certainly as Yahweh lives and you live, I will not leave you!” So they continued walking together.
7 पछि यी दुई जना यर्दन नदीनेर उभिरहँदा तिनीहरूका सामु अगमवक्ताहरू पचास जना छोराहरू उभिए ।
Fifty men from a group of prophets [who were from Jericho] also went, but they watched from a distance as Elijah and Elisha stopped at the edge of the Jordan [River].
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 rolled up his cloak and struck the water with it. A path opened up for them through the river, and they walked across [as though they were] 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 ।”
When they came to the other side, Elijah said to Elisha, “What do you want me to do for you before (I am taken away/Yahweh takes me away)?” Elisha replied, “I want to receive twice as much of your power [as you have had, ] (OR enable me to very powerfully continue your ministry).”
10 एलियाले भने, “तिमीले कठिन कुरा मागेका छौ । तापनि तिमीबाट मलाई लगिएको तिमीले देख्यौ भने, तिम्रो निम्ति यो हुनेछ, तर देखेनौ भने, यो हुनेछैन ।”
Elijah replied, “You have asked for something which is difficult [for me to cause to happen]. But, if you see me when (I am taken from you/Yahweh takes me from you), you will get what you are requesting. But if you do not see me, then you will not get 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 ।
As they were walking and talking, suddenly a chariot that had fire [surrounding it], pulled by horses which also had fire [surrounding them], appeared. [The chariot driver] drove the chariot between Elijah and Elisha and separated them. Then Elijah was taken up to heaven in a (whirlwind/twisting wind).
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. He cried out, “My father/master! My father/master! The chariots of us Israeli people and their drivers [have taken my master away]!” [They disappeared into the sky, ] and Elisha never saw Elijah again. Then Elisha tore his own robe into two pieces [to show that he was sad].
13 तिनले एलियाबाट खसेको खास्टो उठाए र यर्दन नदीको किनारमा खडा हुनलाई फर्केर गए ।
Elijah’s cloak [had fallen off when he was taken away, so] Elisha picked it up and returned to the bank of the Jordan [River].
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 ।
He [rolled up the cloak and] struck the water with it, and cried out, “Will Yahweh, the God who [enabled] Elijah [to perform miracles, enable me to do similar things]?” Then the water separated, and a path opened up for him, and Elisha went across.
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 group of prophets from Jericho saw what happened, they exclaimed, “Elisha now has the power that Elijah had!” [MTY] They walked over to him and bowed down in front of 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 ।”
[One of] them said, “Sir, if you permit us, 50 of our strongest men will go and search for your master [on the other side of the river]. Perhaps the Spirit of Yahweh has left him on some mountain or in some valley.” Elisha replied, “No, 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 ।
But they kept insisting. Finally he was tired of saying “No,” and he said, “Okay, send them.” So 50 men searched for three days, but they did not find Elijah.
18 एलीशा यरीहोमा हुँदा तिनीहरू तिनीकहाँ फर्केर आए, र तिनले तिनीहरूलाई सोधे, “के 'नजाओ' भनी मैले तिमीहरूलाई भनेको थिइनँ र?”
They returned to Jericho, and Elisha was still there. He said to them, “I told you that you should not go, [because you would not find him]!” [RHQ]
19 सहरका मानिसहरूले एलीशालाई भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईं देख्न सक्नुहुन्छ यो सहरको अवस्था राम्रै छ, तर पानी दूषित छ, र जमिनले फल दिंदैन ।”
Then the leaders of [Jericho] city came to talk with Elisha. One of them said, “Our master, we have a problem. You can see that this is a very nice place [to live in]. But the water is bad, and as a result, crops will not grow on the land.”
20 एलीशाले जवाफ दिए, “एउटा नयाँ कचौरा मकहाँ लेओ, र यसभित्र नून हाल ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरूले त्यो तिनीकहाँ ल्याए ।
Elisha said to them, “Put some salt in a new bowl and bring the bowl to me.” So 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' ।”
Then he went out to the spring [from which the people in the town got water]. He threw the salt into the spring. Then he said, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘I have made this water good/pure. No longer will anyone die, from having drunk this water, and now crops will be able to grow.’” [LIT]
22 त्यसैले एलीशाले बोलेको वचनद्वारा आजको दिनसम्म पानी शुद्ध छ ।
And the water became pure, just as Elisha said it would be. Since that time it has always remained pure.
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!”
Elisha left Jericho and went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, a group of young boys from Bethel [saw him and] started to make fun of him. They continued shouting, “Go away, you bald-headed man!”
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 ।
Elisha turned around and looked/glared at them. He asked Yahweh to (curse them/do something bad to them). Immediately two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of them.
25 तब एलीशा त्यहाँबाट कर्मेल डाँडामा गए, र त्यहाँबाट तिनी सामरिया फर्के ।
Elisha left Bethel and went to Carmel Mountain, and after that he returned to Samaria [city].
