< 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 comes to pass, at YHWH’s taking up Elijah to the heavens in a whirlwind, that Elijah goes, and 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 have gone on, and stand opposite [them] far off—and both of them have stood by the 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Pobral je tudi Elijevo ogrinjalo, ki je padlo iz njega, odšel nazaj in obstal pri bregu Jordana.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Ko so ponovno prišli k njemu (kajti mudil se je pri Jerihi), jim je rekel: »Ali vam nisem rekel: ›Ne pojdite?‹«
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 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 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 Rekel je: »Prinesite mi nov vrč in vanj dajte sol.« In prinesli so ga k njemu.
And he says, “Bring a new dish to me, and place salt there”; and they bring [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 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 Tako so bile vode ozdravljene do tega dne, glede na Elizejevo besedo, ki jo je govoril.
And the waters are healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha that 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 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 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 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 Od tam je odšel na goro Karmel in od tam se je vrnil v Samarijo.
And he goes from there to the hill of Carmel, and from there he has turned back to Samaria.
