2 Kraljevima 2
1 A kad Gospod šæaše uzeti Iliju u vihoru na nebo, poðoše Ilija i Jelisije iz Galgala.
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 I reèe Ilija Jelisiju: ostani ti ovdje, jer mene Gospod šalje do Vetilja. Ali Jelisije reèe: tako živ bio Gospod i tako živa bila duša tvoja, neæu te ostaviti. I doðoše u Vetilj.
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 Tada doðoše k Jelisiju sinovi proroèki koji bijahu u Vetilju, i rekoše mu: znaš li da æe danas Gospod uzeti gospodara tvojega od tebe? A on reèe: znam, muèite.
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 Opet mu reèe Ilija: Jelisije, ostani ti tu, jer me Gospod šalje u Jerihon. A on reèe: tako živ bio Gospod i tako živa bila duša tvoja, neæu te ostaviti. Tako doðoše u Jerihon.
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 A sinovi proroèki koji bijahu u Jerihonu pristupiše k Jelisiju, i rekoše mu: znaš li da æe danas uzeti Gospod od tebe gospodara tvojega? A on reèe: znam, muèite.
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 Opet mu reèe Ilija: ostani ti tu, jer me Gospod šalje na Jordan. A on reèe: tako živ bio Gospod i tako bila živa tvoja duša, neæu te ostaviti. Tako otidoše obojica.
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 I pedeset ljudi izmeðu sinova proroèkih otidoše i stadoše prema njima izdaleka, a oni obojica ustaviše se kod Jordana.
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 I uze Ilija plašt svoj, i saviv ga udari njim po vodi, a ona se rastupi tamo i amo, te prijeðoše obojica suhim.
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 A kad prijeðoše, reèe Ilija Jelisiju: išti šta hoæeš da ti uèinim, dokle se nijesam uzeo od tebe. A Jelisije reèe: da budu dva dijela duha tvojega u mene.
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 A on mu reèe: zaiskao si tešku stvar; ali ako me vidiš kad se uzmem od tebe, biæe ti tako; ako li ne vidiš, neæe biti.
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 I kad iðahu dalje razgovarajuæi se, gle, ognjena kola i ognjeni konji rastaviše ih, i Ilija otide u vihoru na nebo.
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 A Jelisije videæi to vikaše: oèe moj, oèe moj! kola Izrailjeva i konjici njegovi! I ne vidje ga više; potom uze haljine svoje i razdrije ih na dva komada.
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 I podiže plašt Ilijin, koji bješe spao s njega, i vrativ se stade na brijegu Jordanskom.
Then took he up the mantle of Elijah, which had fallen from him, —and returned and stood, on the brink of the Jordan;
14 I uzev plašt Ilijin, koji bješe spao s njega, udari po vodi i reèe: gdje je Gospod Bog Ilijin? A kad i on udari po vodi, rastupi se voda tamo i amo, i prijeðe Jelisije.
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 A kad s druge strane vidješe sinovi proroèki, koji bijahu u Jerihonu, rekoše: poèinu duh Ilijin na Jelisiju. I sretoše ga i pokloniše mu se do zemlje.
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 I rekoše mu: evo ima u sluga tvojih pedeset junaka, neka idu i traže tvojega gospodara, da ga ne bude uzeo duh Gospodnji i bacio ga na kakvo brdo ili u kakav do. A on reèe: ne šaljite.
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 Ali oni navaljivahu na nj dokle mu se ne dosadi, te reèe: pošljite. I poslaše pedeset ljudi koji ga tražiše tri dana, ali ne naðoše.
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 I vratiše se k njemu, a on bijaše u Jerihonu, pa im reèe: nijesam li vam govorio da ne idete?
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 Tada graðani rekoše Jelisiju: gle, dobro je živjeti u ovom gradu, kao što gospodar naš vidi; ali je voda zla i zemlja nerodna.
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 A on im reèe: donesite mi nov kutao, i metnite u nj soli. I donesoše mu.
And he said—Bring me a new bowl, and put therein, salt. So they brought it unto him;
21 A on izide na izvor i baci u nj so, govoreæi: ovako veli Gospod: iscijelih ovu vodu, da ne bude više od nje smrti ni nerodnosti.
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 I voda posta zdrava do današnjega dana po rijeèi Jelisijevoj, koju izreèe.
So the waters were healed, [as they remain] unto this day, —according to the word of Elisha which he spake.
23 Potom otide odande u Vetilj; i kad iðaše putem, izidoše mala djeca iz grada i rugahu mu se govoreæi mu: hodi, æelo! hodi, æelo!
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 A Jelisije obazre se i videæi ih prokle ih imenom Gospodnjim. Tada izidoše dvije medvjedice iz šume, i rastrgoše èetrdeset i dvoje djece.
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 Odande otide na goru Karmilsku, a odande se vrati u Samariju.
And he went from thence, unto Mount Carmel, —and, from thence, he returned, to Samaria.
