2 Kralji 2
1 Pripetilo se je, ko je Gospod hotel Elija z vrtinčastim vetrom vzeti gor v nebo, da je Elija z Elizejem odšel iz Gilgála.
And it came to pass, when the Lord was going to take Eliu with a whirlwind as it were into heaven, that Eliu and Elisaie went out of Galgala.
2 Elija je rekel Elizeju: »Ostani tukaj, prosim te, kajti Gospod me je poslal v Betel.« Elizej pa mu je rekel: » Kakor Gospod živi in kakor živi tvoja duša, te ne bom zapustil.« Tako sta odšla dol do Betela.
And Eliu said to Elisaie, Stay here, I pray you; for God has sent me to Baethel. And Elisaie said, [As] the Lord lives and your soul lives, I will not leave you; so they came to Baethel.
3 Sinovi prerokov, ki so bili pri Betelu, so prišli naprej k Elizeju in mu rekli: »Ali veš, da bo Gospod danes odvzel tvojega gospodarja iznad tvoje glave?« Ta je rekel: »Da, vem to; molčite.«
And the sons of the prophets who were in Baethel came to Elisaie, and said to him, Do you know, that the Lord this day is going to take your lord away from your head? And he said, Yes, I know [it]; be silent.
4 Elija mu je rekel: »Elizej, ostani tukaj, prosim te, kajti Gospod me je poslal v Jeriho.« Ta pa je rekel: » Kakor Gospod živi in kakor živi tvoja duša, te ne bom zapustil.« Tako sta prišla do Jerihe.
And Eliu said to Elisaie, Stay here, I pray you; for the Lord has sent me to Jericho. And he said, [As] the Lord lives and your soul lives, I will not leave you. And they came to Jericho.
5 Sinovi prerokov, ki so bili pri Jerihi, so prišli k Elizeju in mu rekli: »Ali veš, da bo Gospod danes odvzel tvojega gospodarja iznad tvoje glave?« Ta pa je odgovoril: »Da, vem to; molčite.«
And the sons of the prophets who were in Jericho drew near to Elisaie, and said to him, Do you know that the Lord is about to take away your master today from your head? And he said, Yes, I know [it]; hold your peace.
6 Elija mu je rekel: »Ostani, prosim te, tukaj, kajti Gospod me je poslal k Jordanu.« Ta pa je rekel: » Kakor Gospod živi in kakor živi tvoja duša, te ne bom zapustil.« In oba sta šla naprej.
And Eliu said to him, Stay here, I pray you, for the Lord has sent me to Jordan. And Elisaie said, [As] the Lord lives and your soul lives, I will not leave you: and they both went on.
7 Petdeset mož izmed sinov prerokov je šlo in stali so, da gledajo od daleč, onadva pa sta stala ob Jordanu.
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets [went also], and they stood opposite afar off: and both stood on [the bank] of Jordan.
8 Elija je vzel svoje ogrinjalo, ga zvil skupaj, udaril vode in razdelile so se sèm ter tja, tako da sta oba šla preko po suhih tleh.
And Eliu took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and struck the water: and the water was divided on this side and on that side, and they both went over on dry ground.
9 Pripetilo se je, ko sta šla čez, da je Elija rekel Elizeju: »Prosi, kaj naj storim zate, preden bom vzet od tebe.« Elizej je rekel: »Prosim te, naj bo nad menoj dvojen delež tvojega duha.«
And it came to pass while they were crossing over, that Eliu said to Elisaie, Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken up from you. And Elisaie said, Let there be, I pray you, a double [portion] of your spirit upon me.
10 Rekel je: »Prosil si težko stvar. Vendar če me boš videl, ko bom vzet od tebe, se ti bo zgodilo, toda če ne, ne bo tako.«
And Eliu said, You have asked a hard thing: if you shall see me when I am taken up from you, then shall it be so to you; and if not, it shall not be [so].
11 Pripetilo se je, ko sta še vedno šla naprej in se pogovarjala, da se je, glej, tam prikazal ognjen bojni voz in ognjeni konji in ju ločili narazen in Elija se je z vrtinčastim vetrom dvignil v nebo.
And it came to pass as they were going, they went on talking; and, behold, a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and it separated between them both; and Eliu was taken up in a whirlwind as it were into heaven.
12 Elizej je to videl in klical: »Moj oče, moj oče, Izraelov bojni voz in njegovi konjeniki.« In nič več ga ni videl. Zgrabil je svoja lastna oblačila in jih pretrgal na dva kosa.
And Elisaie saw, and cried, Father, father, the chariot of Israel, and the horseman thereof! And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his garments, and tore them into two pieces.
13 Pobral je tudi Elijevo ogrinjalo, ki je padlo iz njega, odšel nazaj in obstal pri bregu Jordana.
And Elisaie took up the mantle of Eliu, which fell from off him upon Elisaie; and Elisaie returned, and stood upon the brink of Jordan;
14 Vzel je Elijevo ogrinjalo, ki je padlo iz njega, udaril vode in rekel: »Kje je Gospod, Elijev Bog?« Ko je tudi on udaril vode, so se razdelile sèm ter tja in Elizej je šel preko.
and he took the mantle of Eliu, which fell from off him, and struck the water, and said, Where is the Lord God of Eliu? and he struck the waters, and they were divided hither and there; and Elisaie went over.
15 Ko so ga sinovi prerokov, ki so opazovali pri Jerihi, zagledali, so rekli: »Elijev duh počiva na Elizeju.« Prišli so, da ga srečajo in se do tal priklonili pred njim.
And the sons of the prophets who were in Jericho on the opposite side saw him, and said, The spirit of Eliu has rested upon Elisaie. And they came to meet him, and did obeisance to him to the ground.
16 Rekli so mu: »Glej torej, s tvojimi služabniki bo petdeset močnih mož. Naj odidejo, prosimo te in poiščejo tvojega gospodarja, da ga ni morda gor vzel Gospodov Duh in ga vrgel na kako goro ali v kako dolino.« Rekel je: »Ne pošiljajte.«
And they said to him, Behold now, [there are] with your servants fifty men of strength: let them go now, and seek your lord: perhaps the Spirit of the Lord has taken him up, and cast him into Jordan, or on one of the mountains, or on one of the hills. And Elisaie said, You shall not send.
17 Ko so mu prigovarjali, dokler ni bil osramočen, je rekel: »Pošljite.« Zato so poslali petdeset mož in iskali tri dni, toda niso ga našli.
And they pressed him until he was ashamed; and he said, Send. And they sent fifty men, and sought three days, and found him not.
18 Ko so ponovno prišli k njemu (kajti mudil se je pri Jerihi), jim je rekel: »Ali vam nisem rekel: ›Ne pojdite?‹«
And they returned to him, for he lived in Jericho: and Elisaie said, Did I not say to you, Go not?
19 Ljudje iz mesta so Elizeju rekli: »Glej, prosim te, lega tega mesta je prijetna, kakor vidi moj gospod, toda voda je slaba in tla jalova.«
And the men of the city said to Elisaie, Behold, the situation of the city [is] good, as [our] lord sees; but the waters [are] bad, and the ground barren.
20 Rekel je: »Prinesite mi nov vrč in vanj dajte sol.« In prinesli so ga k njemu.
And Elisaie said, Bring me a new pitcher, and put salt in it. And they took [one], and brought [it] to him.
21 Šel je naprej, k izviru vodá in vanj vrgel sol ter rekel: »Tako govori Gospod: ›Ozdravil sem te vode, od tod ne bo nič več smrti ali jalove dežele.‹«
And Elisaie went out to the spring of the waters, and cast salt therein, and says, Thus says the Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not be any longer death thence or barren [land].
22 Tako so bile vode ozdravljene do tega dne, glede na Elizejevo besedo, ki jo je govoril.
And the waters were healed until this day, according to the word of Elisaie which he spoke.
23 Od tam je odšel gor k Betelu in ko je šel gor po poti, so prišli iz mesta majhni otroci, ga zasmehovali in mu rekli: »Pojdi gor, plešec; pojdi gor, plešec.«
And he went up thence to Baethel: and as he was going up by the way there came up also little children from the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, bald-head, go up.
24 Ta se je obrnil nazaj, pogledal nanje in jih preklel v Gospodovem imenu. In iz gozda sta prišli dve medvedki ter izmed njih raztrgali dvainštirideset otrok.
And he turned after them, and saw them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And, behold, there came out two bears out of the wood, and they tore forty and two children of them.
25 Od tam je odšel na goro Karmel in od tam se je vrnil v Samarijo.
And he went thence to mount Carmel, and returned thence to Samaria.
