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.
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 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.
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 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.”
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 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.
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 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.”
[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 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.
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 Kinalaunan, limampung anak ng mga propeta ang tumayo sa harap ng dalawa habang nakatayo sa kabilang dako 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 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.
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 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.”
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 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.”
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 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.
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 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.
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 Dinampot niya ang nahulog na balabal mula kay Elias, at bumalik sa pampang ng Jordan para tumayo roon.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.”
[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 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.
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 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'?”
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 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.”
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 Sumagot si Eliseo, “Magdala kayo sa akin ng bagong mangkok at lagyan ito ng asin,” kaya dinala nila iyon 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 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,'”
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 Kaya gumaling ang tubigan sa araw ding iyon, sa pamamagitan ng mga salita na sinabi ni Eliseo.
And the water became pure, just as Elisha said it would be. Since that time it has always remained pure.
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!”
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 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.
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 Pagkatapos pumunta si Eliseo mula roon sa Bundok Carmel, at mula roon bumalik siya sa Samaria.
Elisha left Bethel and went to Carmel Mountain, and after that he returned to Samaria [city].
