1 И бысть внегда взяти Господу Илию в вихре яко на небо и идяше Илиа и Елиссей от Галгал.
And it comes to pass, at YHWH’s taking up Elijah to the heavens in a whirlwind, that Elijah goes, and Elisha, from Gilgal,
2 И рече Илиа ко Елиссею: седи убо зде, яко Господь посла мя до Вефиля и рече Елиссей: жив Господь и жива душа твоя, аще оставлю тя и приидоста в Вефиль.
and Elijah says to Elisha, “Please abide here, for YHWH has sent me to Beth-El”; and Elisha says, “YHWH lives, and your soul lives, if I leave you”; and they go down to Beth-El.
3 И приидоша сынове пророчестии, иже в Вефили, ко Елиссею и реша к нему: разумееши ли, яко взимает Господь днесь господина твоего верху главы твоея (от тебе)? И рече: и аз уразумех, молчите.
And sons of the prophets who [are] in Beth-El come out to Elisha, and say to him, “Have you known that today YHWH is taking your lord from your head?” And he says, “I also have known—keep silent.”
4 И рече Илиа ко Елиссею: сяди убо зде, яко Господь посла мя во Иерихон. И рече Елиссей: жив Господь и жива душа твоя, аще оставлю тя. И приидоста во Иерихон.
And Elijah says to him, “Elisha, please abide here, for YHWH has sent me to Jericho”; and he says, “YHWH lives, and your soul lives, if I leave you”; and they come to Jericho.
5 И приближишася сынове пророков, иже во Иерихоне, ко Елиссею и реша ему: разумееши ли, яко днесь вземлет Господь господина твоего свыше главы твоея (от тебе)? И рече: ибо и аз уразумех, молчите.
And sons of the prophets who [are] in Jericho come near to Elisha, and say to him, “Have you known that today YHWH is taking your lord from your head?” And he says, “I also have known—keep silent.”
6 И рече ему Илиа: седи зде, яко Господь посла мя до Иордана. И рече Елиссей: жив Господь и жива душа твоя, аще оставлю тебе. И поидоста оба,
And Elijah says to him, “Please abide here, for YHWH has sent me to the Jordan”; and he says, “YHWH lives, and your soul lives, if I leave you”; and both of them go on—
7 и пятьдесят мужей от сынов пророческих, и сташа противу издалеча: и сии оба стаста при Иордане.
and fifty men of the sons of the prophets have gone on, and stand opposite [them] far off—and both of them have stood by the Jordan.
8 И прият Илиа милоть свою, и свит ю, и удари ею в воду, и разступися вода сюду и сюду: и проидоста оба по суху.
And Elijah takes his robe, and wraps [it] together, and strikes the waters, and they are halved, here and there, and both of them pass over on dry land.
9 И бысть преходящема има, и рече Илиа ко Елиссееви: проси, что сотворю ти прежде неже взят буду от тебе. И рече Елиссей: да будет убо дух, иже в тебе, сугуб во мне.
And it comes to pass, at their passing over, that Elijah has said to Elisha, “Ask what I do for you before I am taken from you.” And Elisha says, “Indeed, please let there be a double portion of your spirit to me”;
10 И рече Илиа: ожесточил еси просити: аще узриши мя вземлема от тебе, будет ти тако: аще ли не (узриши), и будет.
and he says, “You have asked a hard thing; if you see me taken from you, it is to you so; and if not, it is not.”
11 И бысть идущема има, идяста и глаголаста: и се, колесница огненная и кони огненнии, и разделиша между обема. И взят бысть Илиа вихром яко на небо.
And it comes to pass, they are going, going on and speaking, and behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire [appear], and they separate between them both, and Elijah goes up to the heavens in a whirlwind.
12 И Елиссей зряше и вопияше: отче, отче, колесница Израилева и конница его. И не увиде его ктому: и ятся (Елиссей) за ризы своя, и растерза я в два растерзания,
And Elisha is seeing, and he is crying, “My father! My father! The chariot of Israel and its horsemen!” And he has not seen him again; and he takes hold on his garments and tears them into two pieces.
13 и взя милоть Илину Елиссей падшую верху его, и возвратися Елиссей, и ста на брезе Иорданове.
And he takes up the robe of Elijah that fell from off him, and turns back and stands on the edge of the Jordan,
14 И прият (Елиссей) милоть Илиину, яже паде верху его, и удари в воду, и не разступися вода. И рече: где Бог Илиин Аффо? И удари Елиссей воды (вторицею), и разступишася сюду и сюду, и прейде Елиссей по суху.
and he takes the robe of Elijah that fell from off him, and strikes the waters, and says, “Where [is] YHWH, God of Elijah—even He?” And he strikes the waters, and they are halved, here and there, and Elisha passes over.
15 И видеша его сынове пророчестии, иже во Иерихоне сопротив, и реша: почи дух Илиин на Елиссеи. И приидоша на сретение ему и поклонишася ему до земли,
And they see him—the sons of the prophets who [are] in Jericho—from opposite [them], and they say, “The spirit of Elijah has rested on Elisha”; and they come to meet him, and bow themselves to him to the earth,
16 и реша к нему: се, ныне со отроки твоими пятьдесят мужей сынов сильных: шедше да взыщут господина твоего, еда како Дух Господень взя, и поверже его на Иордане, или на единей от гор, или на единем от холмов и рече Елиссей: не посылайте.
and say to him, “Now behold, there are fifty men with your servants, sons of valor: please let them go, and they seek your lord, lest the Spirit of YHWH has taken him up, and casts him on one of the hills or into one of the valleys”; and he says, “You do not send.”
17 И принудиша его, и дондеже устыдеся, и рече: послите. И послаша пятьдесят мужей, и искаша три дни, и не обретоша его,
And they press on him, until he is ashamed, and he says, “Send”; and they send fifty men, and they seek three days, and have not found him;
18 и возвратишася к нему: и той седяше во Иерихоне. И рече Елиссей к ним: не глаголах ли к вам, не идите?
and they return to him—and he is abiding in Jericho—and he says to them, “Did I not say to you, Do not go?”
19 И реша мужие града ко Елиссею: се, жилище града благо, якоже ты, господине, видиши, но воды злы и земля неплодна.
And the men of the city say to Elisha, “Now behold, the site of the city [is] good, as my lord sees, and the waters [are] bad, and the earth sterile.”
20 И рече Елиссей: принесите ми водонос нов, и всыплите в онь соль. И взяша, и принесоша к нему.
And he says, “Bring a new dish to me, and place salt there”; and they bring [it] to him,
21 И изыде Елиссей на исходища водная, и всыпа ту соль, и рече: сице глаголет Господь: изцелих воды сия, не будет от них ктому смерти и неплодства.
and he goes out to the source of the waters, and casts salt there, and says, “Thus said YHWH: I have given healing to these waters; there is not anymore death and sterility there.”
22 И изцелеша воды до дне сего, по глаголу Елиссееву, егоже глагола.
And the waters are healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha that he spoke.
23 И взыде оттуду во Вефиль. И восходящу ему путем, и дети малы изыдоша из града, и ругахуся ему, и реша ему: гряди, плешиве, гряди.
And he goes up from there to Beth-El, and he is going up in the way, and little youths have come out from the city, and scoff at him, and say to him, “Go up, bald-head! Go up, bald-head!”
24 И озреся вслед их, и виде я, и проклят я именем Господним. И се, изыдоша две медведицы из дубравы и растерзаша от них четыредесять два отрочища.
And he looks behind him, and sees them, and declares them vile in the Name of YHWH, and two bears come out of the forest and ripped apart forty-two of the boys.
25 И иде оттуду в гору Кармилскую, и оттуду возвратися в Самарию.
And he goes from there to the hill of Carmel, and from there he has turned back to Samaria.
