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.
When Yahweh was about to take [the prophet] Elijah up to heaven in a (whirlwind/twisting wind), Elijah and [his fellow prophet] Elisha were traveling [south] from Gilgal [town].
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, “Stay here, because Yahweh has told [only] me to go to Bethel [town].” But Elisha replied, “Just as certainly as Yahweh lives and you live, I will not leave you!” So they went down [together] 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.
A group of prophets came to Elisha [and Elijah before they entered the town], and they asked Elisha, “Do you know that Yahweh is going to take your master/boss [Elijah] away from you today?” Elisha answered, “Certainly I know that, but don’t talk about it!” [IDM]
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 Elisha, “Stay here, because Yahweh has told [only] me to go to Jericho.” But Elisha replied [again], “Just as certainly as Yahweh lives and you live, I will not leave you!” So they went [together] to Jericho [city].
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.
[As they neared] Jericho, a group of prophets who were from there came to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that Yahweh is going to take your master/boss [Elijah] away from you today?” He answered again, “Certainly I know that, but don’t talk about it!” [IDM]
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 Elisha, “Stay here, because Yahweh has told [only] me to go to the Jordan [River].” But [again] Elisha replied, “As certainly as Yahweh lives and you live, I will not leave you!” So they continued walking 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.
Fifty men from a group of prophets [who were from Jericho] also went, but they watched from a distance as Elijah and Elisha stopped at the edge of the Jordan [River].
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.
Then Elijah rolled up his cloak and struck the water with it. A path opened up for them through the river, and they walked across [as though they were] 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 came to the other side, Elijah said to Elisha, “What do you want me to do for you before (I am taken away/Yahweh takes me away)?” Elisha replied, “I want to receive twice as much of your power [as you have had, ] (OR enable me to very powerfully continue your ministry).”
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.
Elijah replied, “You have asked for something which is difficult [for me to cause to happen]. But, if you see me when (I am taken from you/Yahweh takes me from you), you will get what you are requesting. But if you do not see me, then you will not get it.”
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 and talking, suddenly a chariot that had fire [surrounding it], pulled by horses which also had fire [surrounding them], appeared. [The chariot driver] drove the chariot between Elijah and Elisha and separated them. Then Elijah was taken up to heaven in a (whirlwind/twisting wind).
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 it. He cried out, “My father/master! My father/master! The chariots of us Israeli people and their drivers [have taken my master away]!” [They disappeared into the sky, ] and Elisha never saw Elijah again. Then Elisha tore his own robe into two pieces [to show that he was sad].
13 Kinuha rin niya ang balabal ni Elias na nahulog sa kaniya, at siya'y bumalik, at tumayo sa tabi ng pangpang ng Jordan.
Elijah’s cloak [had fallen off when he was taken away, so] Elisha picked it up and returned to the bank of the Jordan [River].
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 [rolled up the cloak and] struck the water with it, and cried out, “Will Yahweh, the God who [enabled] Elijah [to perform miracles, enable me to do similar things]?” Then the water separated, and a path opened up for him, and Elisha went across.
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 group of prophets from Jericho saw what happened, they exclaimed, “Elisha now has the power that Elijah had!” [MTY] They walked over to him and bowed down in front of 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.
[One of] them said, “Sir, if you permit us, 50 of our strongest men will go and search for your master [on the other side of the river]. Perhaps the Spirit of Yahweh has left him on some mountain or in some valley.” Elisha replied, “No, do not send them.”
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 kept insisting. Finally he was tired of saying “No,” and he said, “Okay, send them.” So 50 men searched for three days, but they 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?
They returned to Jericho, and Elisha was still there. He said to them, “I told you that you should not go, [because you would not find him]!” [RHQ]
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 leaders of [Jericho] city came to talk with Elisha. One of them said, “Our master, we have a problem. You can see that this is a very nice place [to live in]. But the water is bad, and as a result, crops will not grow on the land.”
20 At kaniyang sinabi, Dalhan ninyo ako ng isang bagong banga, at sidlan ninyo ng asin. At kanilang dinala sa kaniya.
Elisha said to them, “Put some salt in a new bowl and bring the bowl to me.” 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 he went out to the spring [from which the people in the town got water]. He threw the salt into the spring. Then he said, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘I have made this water good/pure. No longer will anyone die, from having drunk this water, and now crops will be able to grow.’” [LIT]
22 Sa gayo'y bumuti ang tubig hanggang sa araw na ito, ayon sa salita ni Eliseo na kaniyang sinalita.
And the water became pure, just as Elisha said it would be. Since that time it has always remained pure.
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 left Jericho and went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, a group of young boys from Bethel [saw him and] started to make fun of him. They continued shouting, “Go away, you bald-headed man!”
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.
Elisha turned around and looked/glared at them. He asked Yahweh to (curse them/do something bad to them). Immediately two bears came out of the woods 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 left Bethel and went to Carmel Mountain, and after that he returned to Samaria [city].
