1 Hivyo ilipokuja kuhusu, wakati Yahwe alipokuwa akienda kumchukua Eliya kwenda mbinguni kwa uvumi, ambapo Eliya aliondoka pamoja na Elisha kutoka Gigali.
And it was when took up Yahweh Elijah by the whirlwind the heavens and he went Elijah and Elisha from Gilgal.
2 Eliya akamwambia Elisha, '“kaa hapa, tafadhali, kwa sababu Yahwe alinituma kwa Betheli.'” Elisha akajibu, “Kama Yahwe aishivyo, na kama uishivyo, sintokuacha.'” Hivyo wakashuka chini kulekea Betheli.
And he said Elijah to Elisha remain please here for Yahweh he has sent me to Beth-el and he said Elisha [by] [the] life of Yahweh and [by] [the] life of self your if I will leave you and they went down Beth-el.
3 Wana wa manabii ambao walikuwa Betheli walikuja kwa Elisha na kumwambia, je unajua kwamba Yahwe atamwondoa bwana wako kuanzia leo?”' Elisha akajibu, “Ndiyo, nalijua hilo, ila msizungumze kuhusu hilo.”'
And they came out [the] sons of the prophets who [were at] Beth-el to Elisha and they said to him ¿ do you know that this day Yahweh [is] about to take master your from over head your and he said also I I know be silent.
4 Eliya akamwambia, “Elisha, subiri hapa, tafadhali, kwa kuwa Yahwe amenituma niende Yeriko.” Kisha Elisha akajibu, '“Kama Yahwe aishivyo, na kama uishivyo, sintokuacha.” Hivyo wakaenda Yeriko.
And he said to him Elijah O Elisha - remain please here for Yahweh he has sent me Jericho and he said [by] [the] life of Yahweh and [by] [the] life of self your if I will leave you and they went Jericho.
5 Kisha wana wa manabii ambao walikuwa Yeriko wakaja kwa Elisha na kumwambia, “'Je unajua kwamba Yahwe atamwondoa bwana wako kutoka kwako leo?” Elisha akajibu, “Ndiyo, nalijua hilo, lakini msilizungumzie hilo.”
And they drew near [the] sons of the prophets who [were] at Jericho to Elisha and they said to him ¿ do you know that this day Yahweh [is] about to take master your from over head your and he said also I I know be silent.
6 Kisha Eliya akamwambia, '“kaa hapa, tafadhali, kwa kuwa Yahwe amenituma kwenda Yeriko.” Elisha akajibu, “Kama Yahwe ishivyo, na kama uishivyo, sintokuacha.” Hivyo wawili wakaenda mbele.
And he said to him Elijah remain please here for Yahweh he has sent me the Jordan towards and he said [by] [the] life of Yahweh and [by] [the] life of self your if I will leave you and they went [the] two of them.
7 Baadaye watu hamsini wa watoto wa wale manabii wakasimama kuwakabili kwa mbali kidogo wale wawili wakasimama karibu na Yordani.
And fifty man from [the] sons of the prophets they went and they stood from before from a distance and [the] two of them they stood at the Jordan.
8 Eliya akachukua vazi lake, akaliviringisha, na kuyapiga maji kwa kutumia lile vazi. Ule mto ukagawanyika katika sehemu mbili hivyo basi wawili hao wakatembea hadi nchi kavu.
And he took Elijah cloak his and he folded it up and he struck the waters and they were divided hither and hither and they passed over [the] two of them on the dry ground.
9 Ilitokea, walipokwisha kuvuka, kwamba Eliya akamwambia Elisha, “Niambie unachotaka nifanye kwako kabla sijaondolewa kutoka kwako.” Elisha akajibu, “Naomba sehemu kubwa ya roho yako ije kwangu.
And it was when had passed over they and Elijah he said to Elisha ask what? will I do for you before I will be taken from with you and he said Elisha and may it be please a mouth of two in spirit your to me.
10 Eliya akajibu, “Umeomba jambo gumu. Hata hivyo, kama ukiniona wakati nitakapoondolewa kutoka kwako, hii itatokea kwako, lakini kama sivyo, haitatokea.”
And he said you have made difficult to ask if you will see me taken from with you may it be to you thus and if not not it will be.
11 Ikawa walipokuwa bado wakienda mbele na kuzungumza, gari la kukokotwa na farasi lenye moto na farasi wa moto ikatokea, ambapo iliwatenga wale watu wawili kutoka kila mmoja, na Eliya akaenda juu kwa uvumi wa upepo kwenda mbinguni.
And it was they [were] walking continuously and speaking and there! a chariot of fire and horses of fire and they separated between [the] two of them and he went up Elijah (in the whirlwind *LAB(h)*) the heavens.
12 Elisha akaiona akalia kwa sauti, “Baba yangu, baba yangu, gari la kukokotwa na farasi la Israeli na waendesha farasi!'” Hakumwona Eliya tena, na akashikilia nguo zake mwenyewe na kugawanya kwenye vipande viwili.
And Elisha [was] seeing and he [was] crying out O father my - father my [the] chariotry of Israel and horsemen its and not he saw him again and he took hold on clothes his and he tore them into two pieces.
13 Akachukua vazi la Eliya lililokuwa limemwangukia, na kurudi kusimama kwenye ukingo wa Yordani.
And he took up [the] cloak of Elijah which it had fallen from on him and he went back and he stood on [the] bank of the Jordan.
14 Akayapiga maji pamoja na lile vazi la Eliya alilokuwa ameliangusha na kusema, “Yahwe yuko wapi, Mungu wa Eliya?'” Wakati alipoyapiga yale maji, yaligawanyika katika pande mbili na Elisha akavuka.
And he took [the] cloak of Elijah which it had fallen from on him and he struck the waters and he said where? [is] Yahweh [the] God of Elijah also he - and he struck the waters and they were divided hither and hither and he passed over Elisha.
15 Wakati hao wana wa manabii ambao walitoka Yeriko walipomuona akikatiza kwao, wakasema, “roho ya Eliya imepumzika kwa Elisha!” Hivyo wakaja kuonana naye, na wakasujudu aridhini mbele yake.
And they saw him [the] sons of the prophets who [were] at Jericho from before and they said it has rested [the] spirit of Elijah on Elisha and they came to meet him and they bowed down to him [the] ground towards.
16 Wakamwambia, “Ona sasa, miongoni mwa watumishi wako kuna watu hamsini hodari. Tunakuomba Waache waende, na kumtafuta bwana wako, endapo huyo Roho wa Yahwe alipomchukua juu na kumtupa juu ya mlima mmoja au kwenye bonde moja.” Elisha akajibu, “Hapana, msiwatume.”
And they said to him here! please there with servants your [are] fifty men sons of ability let them go please so they may search for master your lest it has carried off him [the] spirit of Yahweh and it has cast him on one of the mountains or in one of (the valleys *Q(k)*) and he said not you must send.
17 Lakini walimsihi Elisha hadi akaona aibu, akasema, “Watume.”Ndipo wakawatuma watu hamsini, na wakatafuta kwa mda wa siku tatu, lakini hawakumpata.
And they urged him until was ashamed and he said send [them] and they sent out fifty man and they searched three days and not they found him.
18 Wakarudi kwa Elisha, wakati alipokuwa bado yuko Yeriko, na akasema, “Je sikusema, 'msiende'?”
And they returned to him and he [was] remaining in Jericho and he said to them ¿ not did I say to you may not you go.
19 Watu wa mjini wakamwambia Elisha, “Ona, tunakuomba, hali ya mjini hapa ni pazuri, kama bwana wangu awezavyo kuona, lakini maji ni mabaya na hiyo nchi haiwezi kuzaa matunda.”
And they said [the] people of the city to Elisha here! please [the] location of the city [is] good just as lord my [is] seeing and the waters [are] bad and the land [is] causing abortions.
20 Elisha akajibu, “Nileteeni bakuli jipya na muweke chumvi ndani ya hilo bakuli,” hivyo wakamletea.
And he said fetch for me a jar new and put there salt and they took [it] to him.
21 Elisha akaenda hadi kwenye chemichemi za maji na kutupia chumvi ndani; halafu akasema, “Yahwe asema hivi, 'Nimeyaponya haya maji. Kuanzia mda huu, hakutakuwa na kifo au nchi isiyozaa matunda.
And he went out to [the] outlet of the waters and he threw there salt and he said thus he says Yahweh I have healed the waters these not it will be from there again death and abortion.
22 “Hivyo hayo maji yakaponya hata leo, kwa lile neno ambalo Elisha aliongea.
And they have been healed the waters until the day this according to [the] word of Elisha which he spoke.
23 Ndipo Elisha akapanda kutoka pale mpaka Betheli. Naye alipokuwa akienda hadi kwenye barabara, wakatokea vijana nje ya mji na kumtania, wakamwambia, “Panda juu, wewe mwenye kipara! Panda juu, wewe mwenye kipara!”
And he went up from there Beth-el and he - [was] going up on the way and lads young they came out from the city and they derided him and they said to him go up O bald [man] go up O bald [man].
24 Elisha alipotazama nyuma yake na kuwaona; alimwambia Yahwe awalaani. Ndipo dubu wa kike wawili wakatokea kichakani na kuwajeruhi vijana arobaini na mbili.
And he turned behind him and he saw them and he cursed them in [the] name of Yahweh and they came out two [female] bears from the forest and they tore in pieces of them forty and two boys.
25 Ndipo Elisha alipoondoka pale na kuelekea Mlima Karmeli, na kutoka huko alirudi samaria.
And he went from there to [the] mountain of Carmel and from there he returned Samaria.
