< 2 Mga Hari 2 >
1 At nangyari, nang kukunin na ni Yahweh si Elias paakyat sa langit sa pamamagitan ng ipu-ipo, umalis si Elias kasama si Eliseo sa Gilgal.
And it came to pass when Jehovah would take up Elijah into the heavens by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
2 Sinabi ni Elias kay Eliseo, “Pakiusap, manatili ka rito dahil pinapadala ako ni Yahweh sa Bethel.” Sumagot si Eliseo, “Hanggang nabubuhay si Yahweh at hanggang nabubuhay ka, hindi kita iiwan.” Kaya pumunta sila sa Bethel.
And Elijah said to Elisha, Abide here, I pray thee; for Jehovah has sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee! So they went down to Bethel.
3 Pumunta ang mga anak ng mga propeta na nasa Bethel kay Eliseo at sinabi sa kaniya, “Alam mo ba na kukunin ni Yahweh ang panginoon mo ngayong araw na ito?” Sumagot si Eliseo, “Oo, alam ko, pero huwag ninyo ng banggitin iyon.”
And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said to him, Dost thou know that Jehovah will take away thy master from over thy head to-day? And he said, I also know it: be silent!
4 Sinabi ni Elias sa kaniya, “Eliseo, pakiusap, manatili ka rito, dahil pinapadala ako ni Yahweh sa Jerico.” At sumagot si Eliseo, “Hanggang nabubuhay si Yahweh at hanggang nabubuhay ka, hindi kita iiwan.” Kaya nagpunta sila sa Jerico.
And Elijah said to him, Elisha, abide here, I pray thee; for Jehovah has sent me to Jericho. And he said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee! And they came to Jericho.
5 Pagkatapos pumunta ang mga anak ng mga propeta kay Eliseo na nasa Jerico at sinabi sa kaniya, “Alam mo ba na kukunin ni Yahweh ang panginoon mo ngayong araw na ito?” Sumagot si Eliseo, “Oo, alam ko, pero huwag ninyo ng banggitin iyon.”
And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho drew near to Elisha and said to him, Dost thou know that Jehovah will take away thy master from over thy head to-day? And he said, I also know it: be silent!
6 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Elias sa kaniya, “Eliseo, pakiusap, manatili ka rito, dahil pinapadala ako ni Yahweh sa Jordan.” At sumagot si Eliseo, “Hanggang nabubuhay si Yahweh at hanggang nabubuhay ka, hindi kita iiwan.” Kaya nagtungo ang dalawa.
And Elijah said to him, Abide here, I pray thee; for Jehovah has sent me to the Jordan. And he said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee! And they two went on.
7 Kinalaunan, limampung anak ng mga propeta ang tumayo sa harap ng dalawa habang nakatayo sa kabilang dako ng Jordan.
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite afar off; and they two stood by the Jordan.
8 Hinubad ni Elias ang kaniyang balabal, tinupi, at hinampas ang tubig gamit ito. Nahati sa dalawang bahagi ang ilog kaya nakalakad ang dalawa sa tuyong lupa.
And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither; and they two went over on dry ground.
9 At iyon nga ang nangyari pagkatapos nilang tumawid sa kabila, sinabi ni Elias kay Eliseo, “Hilingin mo sa akin ang ibig mong gawin ko para sa iyo bago ako kunin sa piling mo.” Sumagot si Eliseo, “Kung maaari hayaan mong mapunta sa akin ang dalawang ulit ng iyong espiritu.”
And it came to pass when they had gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I am taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
10 Sumagot si Elias, “Humihiling ka ng mahirap na bagay. Gayun pa man, kung makikita mo ako kapag kinuha ako mula sa iyo, mangyayari ito sa iyo, pero kung hindi, hindi mangyayari iyon.”
And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so to thee; but if not, it shall not be [so].
11 Habang naglalakad sila at nag-uusap, biglang may isang karwahe ng apoy at mga kabayong apoy ang lumitaw, na nagpahiwalay sa kanila, at nilipad pataas si Elias sa pamamagitan ng ipu-ipo sa langit.
And it came to pass as they went on, and talked, that behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire; and they parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into the heavens.
12 Nakita iyon ni Eliseo at nanangis, “Ama ko, ama ko, ang mga karwahe ng Israel at kanilang kabalyero!” Hindi na niya nakita si Elias, at hinawakan ang kaniyang damit at pinunit sa dalawang bahagi.
And Elisha saw [it], and he cried, My father, my father! the chariot of Israel and the horsemen thereof! And he saw him no more. Then he took hold of his own garments and rent them in two pieces.
13 Dinampot niya ang nahulog na balabal mula kay Elias, at bumalik sa pampang ng Jordan para tumayo roon.
And he took up the mantle of Elijah which fell from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan;
14 Hinampas niya ang tubig gamit ang nahulog na balabal ni Elias at sinabi, “Nasaan si Yahweh, ang Diyos ni Elias?” Nang hinampas niya ang tubig, nahati ito sa dalawalang bahagi at tumawid si Eliseo.
and he took the mantle of Elijah which had fallen from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is Jehovah, the God of Elijah? He also smote the waters, and they parted hither and thither, and Elisha went over.
15 Nang nakita ng mga anak ng mga propeta na mula sa Jerico na nakatawid siya, sinabi nila, “Napunta ang espiritu ni Elias kay Eliseo!” Kaya nagpunta sila para salubungin siya, at iniyuko ang kanilang mga sarili sa lupa sa kaniyang harapan.
And the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho on the opposite side saw him, and they said, The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him,
16 Sinabi nila sa kaniya, “Tingnan mo, may limampung malalakas na lalaki mula sa iyong mga alipin. Hinihiling namin na ipadala mo sila para hanapin ang iyong panginoon, kung sakali na kinuha siya ng Espiritu ni Yahweh at hinagis sa ilang bundok o ilang lambak.” Sumagot si Eliseo, “Hindi, huwag ninyo silang ipadala.”
and said to him, Behold now, there are with thy servants fifty valiant men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master, lest perhaps the Spirit of Jehovah have taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some ravine. And he said, Ye shall not send.
17 Pero nang napilit nila si Eliseo hanggang sa mahiya na siya, sinabi niya, “Ipadala ninyo na sila.” Pagkatapos nagpadala sila ng limampung kalalakihan, at naghanap sila ng tatlong araw, pero hindi siya nahanap.
And they pressed him till he was ashamed, and he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men, and they sought three days, but did not find him.
18 Bumalik sila kay Eliseo, habang nanatili siya sa Jerico, at sinabi niya sa kanila, “Hindi ba sinabi ko na sa inyo, 'Huwag na kayong pumunta'?”
And they came again to him (now he was staying at Jericho); and he said to them, Did I not say to you, Go not?
19 Sinabi ng mga lalaki sa lungsod kay Eliseo, “Nagmamakaawa kami sa iyo, nakikita mo na mabuti ang kalagayan ng lungsod na ito, gaya ng nakikita ng panginoon ko, pero madumi ang tubig at hindi mabunga ang lupain.”
And the men of the city said to Elisha, Behold now, the situation of the city is good, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land is barren.
20 Sumagot si Eliseo, “Magdala kayo sa akin ng bagong mangkok at lagyan ito ng asin,” kaya dinala nila iyon sa kaniya.
And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt in it. And they brought it to him.
21 Nagpunta si Eliseo sa bukal ng tubig at tinapon ang asin doon; at kaniyang sinabi, “Sinabi ito ni Yahweh, 'Pinagaling ko na ang tubigang ito. Mula sa oras na ito, walang ng kamatayan at lupaing hindi mamumunga,'”
And he went forth to the source of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith Jehovah: I have healed these waters: there shall not be from thence any more death or barrenness.
22 Kaya gumaling ang tubigan sa araw ding iyon, sa pamamagitan ng mga salita na sinabi ni Eliseo.
And the waters were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke.
23 Pagkatapos pumunta si Eliseo mula roon hanggang sa Bethel. Habang papunta siya sa kaniyang daraanan, may mga batang lalaki ang lumabas mula sa lungsod at hinamak siya; sinabi nila sa kaniya,” Umakyat ka, kalbo! Umaakyat ka, kalbo!”
And he went up from thence to Bethel, and as he went up by the way, there came forth little boys out of the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, bald head; go up, bald head!
24 Tumingin si Eliseo sa kaniyang likuran at nakita sila; tumawag siya kay Yahweh para sumpain sila. Pagkatapos dalawang babaeng oso ang lumabas sa kakahuyan at sinugod ang apatnapu't dalawang bata.
And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of Jehovah. And there came forth two she-bears out of the wood, and tore forty-two children of them.
25 Pagkatapos pumunta si Eliseo mula roon sa Bundok Carmel, at mula roon bumalik siya sa Samaria.
And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
