2 Mga Hari 2
1 At nangyari, nang isasampa ng Panginoon si Elias sa langit sa pamamagitan ng isang ipoipo, na si Elias ay yumaong kasama ni Eliseo mula sa Gilgal.
Shortly before the LORD took Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal,
2 At sinabi ni Elias kay Eliseo, Isinasamo ko sa iyo na maghintay ka rito: sapagka't sinugo ako ng Panginoon hanggang sa Beth-el. At sinabi ni Eliseo, Buhay ang Panginoon, at buhay ang iyong kaluluwa, hindi kita iiwan. Sa gayo'y bumaba sila sa Beth-el.
and Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me on to Bethel.” But Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel.
3 At nilabas ng mga anak ng mga propeta na nasa Beth-el si Eliseo, at nagsipagsabi sa kaniya, Talastas mo ba na ihihiwalay ng Panginoon ang iyong panginoon sa iyong ulo ngayon? At kaniyang sinabi, Oo, talastas ko; pumayapa kayo.
Then the sons of the prophets at Bethel came out to Elisha and said, “Do you know that the LORD will take your master away from you today?” “Yes, I know,” he replied. “Do not speak of it.”
4 At sinabi ni Elias sa kaniya, Eliseo, isinasamo ko sa iyo na maghintay ka rito; sapagka't sinugo ako ng Panginoon sa Jerico. At kaniyang sinabi, Buhay ang Panginoon, at buhay ang iyong kaluluwa, hindi kita iiwan. Sa gayo'y nagsiparoon sila sa Jerico.
And Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me on to Jericho.” But Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went to Jericho.
5 At nagsilapit kay Eliseo ang mga anak ng mga propeta na nangasa Jerico, at nagsipagsabi sa kaniya, Talastas mo ba na ihihiwalay ng Panginoon ang iyong panginoon sa iyong ulo ngayon? At siya'y sumagot, Oo, talastas ko; pumayapa kayo.
Then the sons of the prophets at Jericho came up to Elisha and said, “Do you know that the LORD will take your master away from you today?” “Yes, I know,” he replied. “Do not speak of it.”
6 At sinabi ni Elias sa kaniya, Isinasamo ko sa iyo na maghintay ka rito; sapagka't sinugo ako ng Panginoon sa Jordan. At kaniyang sinabi, Buhay ang Panginoon, at buhay ang iyong kaluluwa, hindi kita iiwan. At silang dalawa ay nagsiyaon.
And Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me on to the Jordan.” But Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them went on.
7 At limangpu sa mga anak ng mga propeta ay nagsiyaon, at nagsitayo sa tapat nila sa malayo; at silang dalawa ay nagsitayo sa tabi ng Jordan.
Then a company of fifty of the sons of the prophets went and stood at a distance, facing Elijah and Elisha as the two of them stood by the Jordan.
8 At kinuha ni Elias ang kaniyang balabal, at tiniklop, at hinampas ang tubig, at nahawi dito at doon, na ano pa't silang dalawa'y nagsidaan sa tuyong lupa.
And Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up, and struck the waters, which parted to the right and to the left, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground.
9 At nangyari, nang sila'y makatawid, na sinabi ni Elias kay Eliseo, Hingin mo kung ano ang gagawin ko sa iyo, bago ako ihiwalay sa iyo. At sinabi ni Eliseo, Isinasamo ko sa iyo, na ang ibayong bahagi ng iyong diwa ay sumaakin.
After they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken away from you?” “Please, let me inherit a double portion of your spirit,” Elisha replied.
10 At sinabi niya, Ikaw ay humingi ng mabigat na bagay: gayon ma'y kung makita mo ako pagka ako'y inihiwalay sa iyo, magiging gayon sa iyo; nguni't kung hindi ay hindi magiging gayon.
“You have requested a difficult thing,” said Elijah. “Nevertheless, if you see me as I am taken from you, it will be yours. But if not, then it will not be so.”
11 At nangyari, samantalang sila'y nagpapatuloy, at nagsasalitaan, na narito, napakita ang isang karong apoy, at mga kabayong apoy, na naghiwalay sa kanila kapuwa; at si Elias ay sumampa sa langit sa pamamagitan ng isang ipoipo.
As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire with horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up into heaven in a whirlwind.
12 At nakita ni Eliseo, at siya'y sumigaw. Ama ko, ama ko, mga karo ng Israel at mga mangangabayo niyaon! At hindi na niya nakita siya: at kaniyang hinawakan ang kaniyang sariling kasuutan, at hinapak ng dalawang hati.
As Elisha watched, he cried out, “My father, my father, the chariots and horsemen of Israel!” And he saw Elijah no more. So taking hold of his own clothes, he tore them in two.
13 Kinuha rin niya ang balabal ni Elias na nahulog sa kaniya, at siya'y bumalik, at tumayo sa tabi ng pangpang ng Jordan.
Elisha also picked up the cloak that had fallen from Elijah, and he went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan.
14 At kaniyang kinuha ang balabal ni Elias na nahulog sa kaniya, at hinampas ang tubig, at sinabi, Saan nandoon ang Panginoon, ang Dios ni Elias? at nang kaniyang mahampas naman ang tubig, ay nahawi dito at doon: at si Eliseo ay tumawid.
Then he took the cloak of Elijah that had fallen from him and struck the waters. “Where now is the LORD, the God of Elijah?” he asked. And when he had struck the waters, they parted to the right and to the left, and Elisha crossed over.
15 At nang makita siya ng mga anak ng mga propeta na nangasa Jerico sa tapat niya, ay kanilang sinabi, Ang diwa ni Elias ay sumasa kay Eliseo. At sila'y nagsiyaon na sinalubong siya, at sila'y nangagpatirapa sa lupa sa harap niya.
When the sons of the prophets who were facing him from Jericho saw what had happened, they said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.” And they went to meet him and bowed down to the ground before him.
16 At kanilang sinabi sa kaniya, Narito ngayon, sa iyong mga lingkod ay may limangpung malalakas na lalake; isinasamo namin sa iyo na payaunin mo sila, at hanapin ang inyong panginoon, baka sakaling itinaas ng Espiritu ng Panginoon, at inihagis sa isang bundok, o sa isang libis. At kaniyang sinabi, Huwag kayong magsipagsugo.
“Look now,” they said to Elisha, “we your servants have fifty valiant men. Please let them go and search for your master. Perhaps the Spirit of the LORD has taken him up and put him on one of the mountains or in one of the valleys.” “Do not send them,” Elisha replied.
17 At nang kanilang pilitin siya hanggang sa siya'y mapahiya, at kaniyang sinabi, Magsipagsugo kayo. Sila'y nagsipagsugo nga ng limangpung lalake, at hinanap nilang tatlong araw, nguni't hindi nasumpungan siya.
But when they pressed him to the point of embarrassment, he said, “Send them.” And they sent fifty men, who searched for three days but did not find Elijah.
18 At sila'y nagsibalik sa kaniya, samantalang siya'y naghihintay sa Jerico; at kaniyang sinabi sa kanila, Di ba sinabi ko sa inyo: Huwag kayong magsiyaon?
When they returned to Elisha, who was staying in Jericho, he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you not to go?”
19 At sinabi ng mga lalake sa bayan kay Eliseo: Tingnan mo, isinasamo namin sa iyo, na ang kalagayan ng bayang ito ay maligaya, gaya ng nakikita ng aking panginoon: nguni't ang tubig ay masama, at ang lupa ay nagpapalagas ng bunga.
Then the men of the city said to Elisha, “Please note, our lord, that the city’s location is good, as you can see. But the water is bad and the land is unfruitful.”
20 At kaniyang sinabi, Dalhan ninyo ako ng isang bagong banga, at sidlan ninyo ng asin. At kanilang dinala sa kaniya.
“Bring me a new bowl,” he replied, “and put some salt in it.” So they brought it to him,
21 At siya'y naparoon sa bukal ng tubig, at hinagisan niya ng asin, at nagsabi, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Aking pinabuti ang tubig na ito; hindi na magkakaroon mula rito ng kamatayan pa o pagkalagas ng bunga.
and Elisha went out to the spring, cast the salt into it, and said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘I have healed this water. No longer will it cause death or unfruitfulness.’”
22 Sa gayo'y bumuti ang tubig hanggang sa araw na ito, ayon sa salita ni Eliseo na kaniyang sinalita.
And the waters there have been healthy to this day, according to the word spoken by Elisha.
23 At siya'y umahon sa Beth-el mula roon: at samantalang siya'y umaahon sa daan, may nagsilabas sa bayan na mga bata, at tinuya siya, at sinabi nila sa kaniya, Umahon ka, ikaw na kalbo ang ulo; umahon ka, ikaw na kalbo ang ulo.
From there, Elisha went up to Bethel, and as he was walking up the road, a group of boys came out of the city and jeered at him, chanting, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!”
24 At siya'y lumingon sa likuran niya, at nangakita niya, at sinumpa niya sila sa pangalan ng Panginoon. At doo'y lumabas ang dalawang osong babae sa gubat, at lumapa ng apat na pu't dalawang bata sa kanila.
Then he turned around, looked at them, and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Suddenly two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.
25 At siya'y naparoon sa bundok ng Carmelo mula roon, at mula roo'y bumalik siya sa Samaria.
And Elisha went on to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
