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.
Just before the Lord took Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were walking together 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.
Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the Lord has sent me to Bethel.” But Elisha replied, “As the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went 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.
The sons of the prophets who lived in Bethel came to Elisha and told him, “You do know that the Lord is going to take your master away from you today, don't you?” “Yes, I know,” he replied. “Don't talk about 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.
Then Elijah said to him, “Please stay here, Elisha, for the Lord has sent me to Jericho.” He replied, “As the Lord lives, and as you 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.
The sons of the prophets who lived in Jericho came to Elisha and told him, “You do know that the Lord is going to take your master away from you today, don't you?” “Yes, I know,” he replied. “Don't talk about 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.
Then Elijah said to him, “Please stay here, Elisha, for the Lord has sent me to the Jordan.” He replied, “As the Lord lives, and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they travelled on together.
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 group of fifty of the sons of the prophets went and stood facing Elijah and Elisha at a distance 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.
Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up, and hit the water. It divided to the one side and to the other and both 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.
When they arrived on the other side, Elijah asked Elisha, “What can I do for you before I'm taken from you?” “Please let me have a double amount 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.
“What you have asked for is hard,” Elijah responded. “But if you see me when I am taken from you, you will have it, otherwise not.”
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, talking, a chariot of fire and horses of fire came between them, and Elijah was taken up in the whirlwind to heaven.
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.
Elisha saw what happened and cried out, “My father! My father! Look! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!” Then Elisha couldn't see him anymore. He took his clothes and ripped them to pieces.
13 Kinuha rin niya ang balabal ni Elias na nahulog sa kaniya, at siya'y bumalik, at tumayo sa tabi ng pangpang ng Jordan.
Then Elisha picked up Elijah's cloak that had fallen from him, and 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.
He took Elijah's cloak that had fallen from him, hit the water, and cried out, “Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” When he hit the water, it divided to the one side and to the other 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.
The sons of the prophets who lived in Jericho saw him from the opposite side and shouted out, “Elijah's spirit now rests upon Elisha!” They went over to meet him, and bowed 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,” they said to Elisha, “we your servants have fifty good men here. Please allow them to go and search for your master. Maybe the Spirit of the Lord has taken him and put him down on a mountain or in a valley somewhere.” “Don't bother sending 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 they went on trying to persuade him until he was too embarrassed to say no. “Go ahead and send them,” he told them. So they sent fifty men, who searched for Elijah for three days but couldn't find him.
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 bother going?”
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.
The townspeople said to Elisha, “Look, sir, while our town has a good location as you can see, the water is bad and the soil is poor.”
20 At kaniyang sinabi, Dalhan ninyo ako ng isang bagong banga, at sidlan ninyo ng asin. At kanilang dinala sa kaniya.
“Bring me a brand new bowl and put some salt in it,” he replied. 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.
Then Elisha went to the spring, threw the salt into it, and said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘I have purified this water. It won't cause death or miscarriages anymore.’”
22 Sa gayo'y bumuti ang tubig hanggang sa araw na ito, ayon sa salita ni Eliseo na kaniyang sinalita.
The water there is still pure to this very day, just as Elisha said it would be.
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.
Elisha went on from there to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, a group of youths came from the town. They made fun of him, calling out, “Go on up, baldy! Go on up, baldy!”
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.
Turning around, he looked at them and called down a curse on them in the Lord's name. Suddenly two female bears came out of the forest and mauled forty-two of them.
25 At siya'y naparoon sa bundok ng Carmelo mula roon, at mula roo'y bumalik siya sa Samaria.
Elisha carried on to Mount Carmel, and from there he went back to Samaria.
