< 2 Wafalme 2 >
1 Wakati Bwana alipokuwa karibu kumchukua Eliya mbinguni kwa upepo wa kisulisuli, Eliya na Elisha walikuwa njiani wakitoka Gilgali.
Forsothe it was don, whanne the Lord wolde reise Elie bi a whirlewynd in to heuene, Elie and Elisee yeden fro Galgalis.
2 Eliya akamwambia Elisha, “Kaa hapa. Bwana amenituma Betheli.” Lakini Elisha akasema, “Kwa hakika, kama Bwana aishivyo na wewe uishivyo, sitakuacha.” Kwa hiyo wakaenda Betheli pamoja.
And Elie seide to Elisee, Sitte thou here, for the Lord sente me til into Bethel. To whom Elisee seide, The Lord lyueth and thi soule lyueth, for Y schal not forsake thee. And whanne thei hadden come doun to Bethel,
3 Wana wa manabii waliokuwako huko Betheli wakamjia Elisha na kumuuliza, “Je, unajua ya kwamba Bwana atakuondolea bwana wako leo?” Elisha akawajibu, “Ndiyo, najua, lakini msizungumze juu ya jambo hilo.”
the sones of prophetis, that weren in Bethel, yeden out to Elisee, and seiden to hym, Whether thou knowist, that the Lord schal take awey thi lord to dai fro thee? Which answeride, And I knowe; be ye stille.
4 Kisha Eliya akamwambia, “Baki hapa, Elisha. Bwana amenituma Yeriko.” Naye akajibu, “Kwa hakika kama Bwana aishivyo na wewe uishivyo, sitakuacha.” Hivyo wakaenda Yeriko.
Forsothe Elie seide to Elisee, Sitte thou here, for the Lord sente me into Jerico. And he seide, The Lord lyueth and thi soule lyueth, for Y schal not forsake thee. And whanne thei hadden come to Jerico,
5 Wana wa manabii waliokuwako huko Yeriko wakamwendea Elisha na kumuuliza, “Je, unajua ya kwamba Bwana atakuondolea bwana wako leo?” Akawajibu, “Ndiyo, najua, lakini msizungumze juu ya jambo hilo.”
the sones of prophetis, that weren in Jerico, neiyiden to Elisee, and seiden to hym, Whether thou knowist, that the Lord schal take awei thi lord to dai fro thee? And he seide, Y knowe; be ye stille.
6 Kisha Eliya akamwambia, “Kaa hapa. Bwana amenituma kwenda Yordani.” Naye akamjibu, “Kwa hakika kama Bwana aishivyo na wewe uishivyo, sitakuacha.” Hivyo wote wawili wakaendelea pamoja.
Forsothe Elie seide to Elisee, Sitte thou here, for the Lord sente me `til to Jordan. Which seide, The Lord lyueth and thi soule lyueth, for Y schal not forsake thee. Therfor bothe yeden togidere;
7 Wana hamsini wa manabii wakaenda na kusimama kwa mbali, kuelekea mahali ambapo Eliya na Elisha walikuwa wamesimama kando ya Mto Yordani.
and fifti men of the sones of prophetis sueden, which also stoden fer euen ayens; sothely thei bothe stoden ouer Jordan.
8 Eliya akachukua vazi lake, akalisokota na kupiga nalo maji. Maji yakagawanyika upande wa kuume na upande wa kushoto, nao wawili wakavuka pakavu.
And Elie took his mentil, and wlappide it, and smoot the watris; whiche weren departid `into euer ethir part, and bothe yeden bi the drie.
9 Walipokwisha kuvuka, Eliya akamwambia Elisha, “Niambie, nikufanyie nini kabla sijaondolewa kutoka kwako?” Elisha akajibu, “Naomba nirithi sehemu maradufu ya roho yako.”
And whanne thei hadden passid, Elie seide to Elisee, Axe thou that, that thou wolt that Y do to thee, bifor that Y be takun awey fro thee. And Elisee seide, Y biseche, that thi double spirit be `maad in me.
10 Eliya akasema, “Umeomba jambo gumu. Lakini kama utaniona wakati ninapoondolewa kutoka kwako litakuwa lako. La sivyo, hautalipata.”
Which Elie answeride, Thou axist an hard thing; netheles if thou schalt se me, whanne Y schal be takun awei fro thee, that that thou axidist schal be; sotheli, if thou schalt not se, it schal not be.
11 Walipokuwa wakitembea pamoja na kuzungumza, ghafula gari la moto na farasi wa moto vilitokea na kuwatenganisha wao wawili, naye Eliya akapanda mbinguni katika upepo wa kisulisuli.
And whanne thei yeden, and spaken goynge, lo! a chare of fier and horsys of fier departiden euer either; and Elie stiede bi a whirlewynd in to heuene.
12 Elisha aliona hili, naye akapaza sauti, “Baba yangu! Baba yangu! Magari ya Israeli na wapanda farasi wake!” Naye Elisha hakumwona tena. Kisha akazishika nguo zake mwenyewe na kuzirarua.
Forsothe Elise siy, and criede, My fadir! my fadir! the chare of Israel, and the charietere therof. And he siy no more Elie. And he took hise clothis, and to-rente tho in to twei partis.
13 Akaliokota lile vazi lililoanguka kutoka kwa Eliya, kisha akarudi na kusimama ukingoni mwa Yordani.
And he reiside the mentil of Elie, that felde doun to hym; and he turnede ayen, and stood ouer the ryuer of Jordan.
14 Ndipo akalichukua lile vazi ambalo lilikuwa limeanguka kutoka kwa Eliya, naye akayapiga yale maji nalo. Akauliza, “Yuko wapi sasa Bwana, Mungu wa Eliya?” Elisha alipoyapiga maji, yakagawanyika kulia na kushoto, naye akavuka.
And with the mentil of Elie, that felde doun to hym, he smoot the watris, whiche weren not departid. And he seide, Where is God of Elie also now? And he smoot the watris, and tho weren departid hidur and thidur; and Elisee passide.
15 Wale wana wa manabii kutoka Yeriko waliokuwa wakitazama wakasema, “Roho wa Eliya inamkalia Elisha.” Nao wakaenda kumlaki na kusujudu hadi nchi mbele yake.
Sotheli the sones of prophetis, that weren in Jerico euene ayens, siyen, and seiden, The spirit of Elie restide on Elisee. And thei camen in to the meetyng of hym, and worschipiden hym lowli to erthe.
16 Wakasema, “Tazama, sisi watumishi wako tunao watu hamsini wenye uwezo. Waruhusu waende kumtafuta bwana wako. Labda Roho wa Bwana amemtwaa na kumweka katika mlima fulani au bonde fulani.” Elisha akajibu, “Hapana, msiwatume.”
And thei seiden to hym, Lo! with thi seruauntis ben fifti stronge men, that moun go, and seke thi lord, lest perauenture the Spirit of the Lord hath take hym, and hath cast forth hym in oon of the hillis, ethir in oon of the valeys.
17 Lakini wakasisitiza, mpaka akaona aibu kuwakatalia. Hivyo akasema, “Watumeni.” Nao wakawatuma watu hamsini, wakamtafuta kwa siku tatu, lakini hawakumpata.
Which seide, `Nyle ye sende. And thei constreyneden hym, til he assentide to hem, and seide, Sende ye. And thei senten fifti men; and whanne thei hadden souyt bi thre daies, thei founden not.
18 Walipomrudia Elisha, ambaye alikuwa akingojea huko Yeriko, akawaambia, “Je, sikuwaambia msiende?”
And thei turneden ayen to hym; and he dwelide in Jerico. And he seide to hem, Whether Y seide not to you, Nyle ye sende?
19 Watu wa mji wakamwambia Elisha, “Tazama, bwana wetu, mahali mji huu ulipojengwa ni pazuri, kama bwana wangu aonavyo, lakini maji yake ni mabaya, na nchi haizai.”
Therfor the men of the citee seiden to Elisee, Lo! the dwellyng of this cite is ful good, as thou thi silf, lord, seest; but the watris ben ful yuele, and the lond is bareyn.
20 Akasema, “Nileteeni bakuli mpya, mweke chumvi ndani yake.” Kwa hiyo wakamletea.
And he seide, Brynge ye to me a newe vessel, and sende ye salt in to it. And whanne thei hadden brouyt it,
21 Kisha akaenda kwenye chemchemi na kuitupa ile chumvi ndani yake, akisema, “Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: ‘Nimeyaponya maji haya. Kamwe hayatasababisha mauti tena wala kutozaa.’”
he yede out to the welle of watris, and sente salt in to it, and seide, The Lord seith these thingis, Y haue helid these watris, and nethir deeth, nether bareynesse, schal be more in tho.
22 Nayo yale maji yakaponywa mpaka leo, sawasawa na neno la Elisha alilokuwa amesema.
Therfor the watris weren heelid til in to this dai, bi the word of Elisee, which he spak.
23 Kutoka huko Elisha akakwea kwenda Betheli. Ikawa alipokuwa akitembea barabarani, baadhi ya vijana wakatoka mjini na kumfanyia mzaha. Wakasema, “Paa, wewe mwenye upaa! Paa, wewe mwenye upaa!”
Forsothe Elisee stiede fro thennus in to Bethel; and whanne he stiede bi the weie, litle children yeden out of the citee, and scorneden hym, and seiden, Stie, thou ballard! stie, thou ballard!
24 Akageuka, akawatazama na kuwalaani kwa Jina la Bwana. Kisha dubu wawili wa kike wakatokea mwituni na kuwararua vijana arobaini na wawili miongoni mwao.
And whanne he hadde biholde, he siy hem, and curside hem in the name of the Lord. And twey beeris yeden out of the forest, and to-rente fourti children of hem.
25 Naye akaondoka huko, akaenda Mlima Karmeli, na kutoka huko akarudi Samaria.
Sotheli Elisee wente fro thennus in to the hil of Carmele, and fro thennus he turnede `ayen to Samarie.
