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 would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
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 Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Beth-el. And Elisha said [unto him, As] the LORD liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Beth-el.
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 that [were] at Beth-el came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know [it; ] hold ye your peace.
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 Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, [As] the LORD liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So 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 that [were] at Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he answered, Yea, I know [it; ] hold ye 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 Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the LORD hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, [As] the LORD liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two 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, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by 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 Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped [it] together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two 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, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be 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 he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: [nevertheless], if thou see me [when I am] taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but 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 still went on, and talked, that, behold, [there appeared] a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind 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 Elisha saw [it], and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
13 Pobral je tudi Elijevo ogrinjalo, ki je padlo iz njega, odšel nazaj in obstal pri bregu Jordana.
He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank 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 Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where [is] the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha 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 when the sons of the prophets which [were] to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
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 unto him, Behold now, there be with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master: lest peradventure the Spirit of the LORD hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye 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 when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but 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 when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho, ) he said unto them, Did I not say unto 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 unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city [is] pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water [is] naught, and the ground barren.
20 Rekel je: »Prinesite mi nov vrč in vanj dajte sol.« In prinesli so ga k njemu.
And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they 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 he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren [land].
22 Tako so bile vode ozdravljene do tega dne, glede na Elizejevo besedo, ki jo je govoril.
So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake.
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 from thence unto Beth-el: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
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 back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare 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 from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
