< 2 Wafalme 2 >

1 Hivyo ilipokuja kuhusu, wakati Yahwe alipokuwa akienda kumchukua Eliya kwenda mbinguni kwa uvumi, ambapo Eliya aliondoka pamoja na Elisha kutoka Gigali.
καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἀνάγειν κύριον τὸν Ηλιου ἐν συσσεισμῷ ὡς εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ηλιου καὶ Ελισαιε ἐκ Γαλγαλων
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.
καὶ εἶπεν Ηλιου πρὸς Ελισαιε κάθου δὴ ἐνταῦθα ὅτι κύριος ἀπέσταλκέν με ἕως Βαιθηλ καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε ζῇ κύριος καὶ ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου εἰ καταλείψω σε καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Βαιθηλ
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.”'
καὶ ἦλθον οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν οἱ ἐν Βαιθηλ πρὸς Ελισαιε καὶ εἶπον πρὸς αὐτόν εἰ ἔγνως ὅτι κύριος σήμερον λαμβάνει τὸν κύριόν σου ἐπάνωθεν τῆς κεφαλῆς σου καὶ εἶπεν κἀγὼ ἔγνωκα σιωπᾶτε
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.
καὶ εἶπεν Ηλιου πρὸς Ελισαιε κάθου δὴ ἐνταῦθα ὅτι κύριος ἀπέσταλκέν με εἰς Ιεριχω καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε ζῇ κύριος καὶ ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου εἰ ἐγκαταλείψω σε καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Ιεριχω
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.”
καὶ ἤγγισαν οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν οἱ ἐν Ιεριχω πρὸς Ελισαιε καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς αὐτόν εἰ ἔγνως ὅτι σήμερον λαμβάνει κύριος τὸν κύριόν σου ἐπάνωθεν τῆς κεφαλῆς σου καὶ εἶπεν καί γε ἐγὼ ἔγνων σιωπᾶτε
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.
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ηλιου κάθου δὴ ὧδε ὅτι κύριος ἀπέσταλκέν με ἕως τοῦ Ιορδάνου καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε ζῇ κύριος καὶ ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου εἰ ἐγκαταλείψω σε καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἀμφότεροι
7 Baadaye watu hamsini wa watoto wa wale manabii wakasimama kuwakabili kwa mbali kidogo wale wawili wakasimama karibu na Yordani.
καὶ πεντήκοντα ἄνδρες υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν καὶ ἔστησαν ἐξ ἐναντίας μακρόθεν καὶ ἀμφότεροι ἔστησαν ἐπὶ τοῦ Ιορδάνου
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.
καὶ ἔλαβεν Ηλιου τὴν μηλωτὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἵλησεν καὶ ἐπάταξεν τὸ ὕδωρ καὶ διῃρέθη τὸ ὕδωρ ἔνθα καὶ ἔνθα καὶ διέβησαν ἀμφότεροι ἐν ἐρήμῳ
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.
καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ διαβῆναι αὐτοὺς καὶ Ηλιου εἶπεν πρὸς Ελισαιε αἴτησαι τί ποιήσω σοι πρὶν ἢ ἀναλημφθῆναί με ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε γενηθήτω δὴ διπλᾶ ἐν πνεύματί σου ἐπ’ ἐμέ
10 Eliya akajibu, “Umeomba jambo gumu. Hata hivyo, kama ukiniona wakati nitakapoondolewa kutoka kwako, hii itatokea kwako, lakini kama sivyo, haitatokea.”
καὶ εἶπεν Ηλιου ἐσκλήρυνας τοῦ αἰτήσασθαι ἐὰν ἴδῃς με ἀναλαμβανόμενον ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ ἔσται σοι οὕτως καὶ ἐὰν μή οὐ μὴ γένηται
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.
καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτῶν πορευομένων ἐπορεύοντο καὶ ἐλάλουν καὶ ἰδοὺ ἅρμα πυρὸς καὶ ἵπποι πυρὸς καὶ διέστειλαν ἀνὰ μέσον ἀμφοτέρων καὶ ἀνελήμφθη Ηλιου ἐν συσσεισμῷ ὡς εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν
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.
καὶ Ελισαιε ἑώρα καὶ ἐβόα πάτερ πάτερ ἅρμα Ισραηλ καὶ ἱππεὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ εἶδεν αὐτὸν ἔτι καὶ ἐπελάβετο τῶν ἱματίων αὐτοῦ καὶ διέρρηξεν αὐτὰ εἰς δύο ῥήγματα
13 Akachukua vazi la Eliya lililokuwa limemwangukia, na kurudi kusimama kwenye ukingo wa Yordani.
καὶ ὕψωσεν τὴν μηλωτὴν Ηλιου ἣ ἔπεσεν ἐπάνωθεν Ελισαιε καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν Ελισαιε καὶ ἔστη ἐπὶ τοῦ χείλους τοῦ Ιορδάνου
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.
καὶ ἔλαβεν τὴν μηλωτὴν Ηλιου ἣ ἔπεσεν ἐπάνωθεν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπάταξεν τὸ ὕδωρ καὶ οὐ διέστη καὶ εἶπεν ποῦ ὁ θεὸς Ηλιου αφφω καὶ ἐπάταξεν τὰ ὕδατα καὶ διερράγησαν ἔνθα καὶ ἔνθα καὶ διέβη Ελισαιε
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.
καὶ εἶδον αὐτὸν οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν οἱ ἐν Ιεριχω ἐξ ἐναντίας καὶ εἶπον ἐπαναπέπαυται τὸ πνεῦμα Ηλιου ἐπὶ Ελισαιε καὶ ἦλθον εἰς συναντὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ προσεκύνησαν αὐτῷ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν
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.”
καὶ εἶπον πρὸς αὐτόν ἰδοὺ δὴ μετὰ τῶν παίδων σου πεντήκοντα ἄνδρες υἱοὶ δυνάμεως πορευθέντες δὴ ζητησάτωσαν τὸν κύριόν σου μήποτε ἦρεν αὐτὸν πνεῦμα κυρίου καὶ ἔρριψεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ Ιορδάνῃ ἢ ἐφ’ ἓν τῶν ὀρέων ἢ ἐφ’ ἕνα τῶν βουνῶν καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε οὐκ ἀποστελεῖτε
17 Lakini walimsihi Elisha hadi akaona aibu, akasema, “Watume.”Ndipo wakawatuma watu hamsini, na wakatafuta kwa mda wa siku tatu, lakini hawakumpata.
καὶ παρεβιάσαντο αὐτὸν ἕως ὅτου ᾐσχύνετο καὶ εἶπεν ἀποστείλατε καὶ ἀπέστειλαν πεντήκοντα ἄνδρας καὶ ἐζήτησαν τρεῖς ἡμέρας καὶ οὐχ εὗρον αὐτόν
18 Wakarudi kwa Elisha, wakati alipokuwa bado yuko Yeriko, na akasema, “Je sikusema, 'msiende'?”
καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν πρὸς αὐτόν καὶ αὐτὸς ἐκάθητο ἐν Ιεριχω καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε οὐκ εἶπον πρὸς ὑμᾶς μὴ πορευθῆτε
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.”
καὶ εἶπον οἱ ἄνδρες τῆς πόλεως πρὸς Ελισαιε ἰδοὺ ἡ κατοίκησις τῆς πόλεως ἀγαθή καθὼς ὁ κύριος βλέπει καὶ τὰ ὕδατα πονηρὰ καὶ ἡ γῆ ἀτεκνουμένη
20 Elisha akajibu, “Nileteeni bakuli jipya na muweke chumvi ndani ya hilo bakuli,” hivyo wakamletea.
καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε λάβετέ μοι ὑδρίσκην καινὴν καὶ θέτε ἐκεῖ ἅλα καὶ ἔλαβον πρὸς αὐτόν
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.
καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ελισαιε εἰς τὴν διέξοδον τῶν ὑδάτων καὶ ἔρριψεν ἐκεῖ ἅλα καὶ εἶπεν τάδε λέγει κύριος ἴαμαι τὰ ὕδατα ταῦτα οὐκ ἔσται ἔτι ἐκεῖθεν θάνατος καὶ ἀτεκνουμένη
22 “Hivyo hayo maji yakaponya hata leo, kwa lile neno ambalo Elisha aliongea.
καὶ ἰάθησαν τὰ ὕδατα ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα Ελισαιε ὃ ἐλάλησεν
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!”
καὶ ἀνέβη ἐκεῖθεν εἰς Βαιθηλ καὶ ἀναβαίνοντος αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ καὶ παιδάρια μικρὰ ἐξῆλθον ἐκ τῆς πόλεως καὶ κατέπαιζον αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ ἀνάβαινε φαλακρέ ἀνάβαινε
24 Elisha alipotazama nyuma yake na kuwaona; alimwambia Yahwe awalaani. Ndipo dubu wa kike wawili wakatokea kichakani na kuwajeruhi vijana arobaini na mbili.
καὶ ἐξένευσεν ὀπίσω αὐτῶν καὶ εἶδεν αὐτὰ καὶ κατηράσατο αὐτοῖς ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐξῆλθον δύο ἄρκοι ἐκ τοῦ δρυμοῦ καὶ ἀνέρρηξαν ἐξ αὐτῶν τεσσαράκοντα καὶ δύο παῖδας
25 Ndipo Elisha alipoondoka pale na kuelekea Mlima Karmeli, na kutoka huko alirudi samaria.
καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐκεῖθεν εἰς τὸ ὄρος τὸ Καρμήλιον καὶ ἐκεῖθεν ἐπέστρεψεν εἰς Σαμάρειαν
