2 Kings 2
1 Nígbà tí Olúwa ń fẹ́ gbé Elijah lọ sí òkè ọ̀run nínú àjà, Elijah àti Eliṣa wà ní ọ̀nà láti Gilgali.
And it came to pass, when the Lord was about to take up Elijah by a storm-wind to heaven, that Elijah went out with Elisha' from Gilgal.
2 Elijah wí fún Eliṣa pé, “Dúró níbí; Olúwa rán mi lọ sí Beteli.” Ṣùgbọ́n Eliṣa wí pé, “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti dájú pé Olúwa wà láyé àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti yẹ, èmi kò ní fi ọ́ sílẹ̀.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Beteli.
And Elijah said unto Elisha', Remain, I pray thee, here; for the Lord hath sent me as far as Beth-el. But Elisha' said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Beth-el.
3 Àwọn ọmọ wòlíì ní Beteli jáde wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ Eliṣa wọ́n sì béèrè pé, “Ṣé ìwọ mọ̀ pé Olúwa yóò gba ọ̀gá rẹ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ lónìí?” “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, èmi mọ̀,” Eliṣa dáhùn, “Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ má ṣe sọ̀rọ̀ nípa rẹ̀.”
And the sons of the prophets that were at Beth-el came forth to Elisha', and said unto him, Knowest thou that today the Lord will take away thy master from thy head? And he said, I also know it; be still.
4 Nígbà náà Elijah sì wí fún un pé, “Dúró níbí, Eliṣa: Olúwa ti rán mi lọ sí Jeriko.” Ó sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Bí ó ti dájú pé Olúwa yè àti tí ìwọ náà yè, èmi kò ní fi ọ́ sílẹ̀.” Wọ́n sì jọ lọ sí Jeriko.
And Elijah said unto him, Elisha', remain, I pray thee, here; for the Lord hath sent me to Jericho. But he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.
5 Àwọn ọmọ wòlíì tí ó wà ní Jeriko sì gòkè tọ Eliṣa wá wọ́n sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Ṣé ìwọ mọ̀ wí pé Olúwa yóò gba ọ̀gá rẹ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ lónìí?” “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, èmi mọ̀,” Ó dá wọn lóhùn, “Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ má ṣe sọ nípa rẹ̀.”
And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came near to Elisha', and said unto him, Knowest thou that today the Lord will take away thy master from thy head? And he said, I also know it; be still.
6 Nígbà náà Elijah wí fún un pé, “Dúró níbí; Olúwa rán mi lọ sí Jordani.” Ó sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti jẹ́ wí pé, Olúwa yè àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí o ti yè, èmi kò ní fi ọ́ sílẹ̀.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn méjèèjì sì jọ ń lọ.
And Elijah said unto him, Remain, I pray thee, here; for the Lord hath sent me to the Jordan. But he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So these two went on.
7 Àádọ́ta àwọn ọkùnrin ọmọ wòlíì sì lọ láti lọ dúró ní ọ̀nà jíjìn, wọ́n sì kọ ojú da ibi tí Elijah àti Eliṣa ti dúró ní Jordani.
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood opposite [to them] afar off: and those two stood by the Jordan.
8 Elijah sì mú agbádá ó sì ká a sókè ó sì lu omi náà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀. Omi náà sì pín sí ọ̀tún àti sí òsì, àwọn méjèèjì sì rékọjá lórí ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ.
And Elijah took his mantle, and folded it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, and they went, both of them, over on dry ground.
9 Nígbà tí wọ́n rékọjá, Elijah sì wí fún Eliṣa pé, “Sọ fún mi, kí ni èmi lè ṣe fún ọ kí ó tó di wí pé wọ́n gbà mí kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ?” “Jẹ́ kí èmi kí ó jogún ìlọ́po méjì ẹ̀mí rẹ.” Ó dá a lóhùn.
And it came to pass, when they passed over, that Elijah said unto Elisha', Ask what I shall do for thee, before I shall be taken away from thee. And Elisha' said, Let there be, I pray thee, a double portion of thy spirit upon me.
10 “Ìwọ ti béèrè ohun tí ó ṣòro,” Elijah wí pé, “Síbẹ̀ tí ìwọ bá rí mi nígbà tí a bá gbà mí kúrò lọ́wọ́ rẹ, yóò jẹ́ tìrẹ bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ kò ní rí bẹ́ẹ̀.”
And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so [given] unto thee; but if not, it shall not be.
11 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọ́n ti ń rìn lọ tí wọ́n sì ń sọ̀rọ̀ pọ̀, lọ́gán kẹ̀kẹ́ iná àti ẹṣin iná yọ sí wọn ó sì ya àwọn méjèèjì nípa, Elijah sì gòkè lọ sí ọ̀run pẹ̀lú àjà.
And it came to pass, as they went on, speaking as they were going, that, behold, there came a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a storm-wind to heaven.
12 Eliṣa rí èyí ó sì kígbe sókè, “Baba mi! Baba mi! Kẹ̀kẹ́ àti ẹlẹ́ṣin Israẹli!” Eliṣa kò sì rí i mọ́. Ó sì mú aṣọ ara rẹ̀ ó sì fà wọ́n ya sọ́tọ̀.
And Elisha' saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and their horsemen. And he saw him no more; and he took hold of his clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
13 Ó sì mú agbádá tí ó ti jábọ́ láti ọ̀dọ̀ Elijah ó sì padà lọ, ó sì dúró lórí bèbè Jordani.
And he lifted up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and went back, and stood by the border of the Jordan;
14 Ó sì mú agbádá náà tí ó jábọ́ láti ọwọ́ rẹ̀, ó sì lu omi pẹ̀lú rẹ̀. “Níbo ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run Elijah wà?” Ó béèrè. Nígbà tí ó lu omi náà, ó sì pín sí apá ọ̀tún àti sí òsì, Eliṣa sì rékọjá.
And he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the Lord the God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither; and Elisha' passed over.
15 Àwọn ọmọ wòlíì láti Jeriko, tí wọ́n ń wò, wí pé, “Ẹ̀mí Elijah sinmi lé Eliṣa.” Wọ́n sì lọ láti lọ bá a, wọ́n sì dojúbolẹ̀ níwájú rẹ̀.
And when the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho, at a distance, saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah Doth rest on Elisha'. And they came forth to meet him, and bowed themselves unto him to the ground.
16 “Wò ó,” wọ́n wí pé, “Àwa ìránṣẹ́ ni àádọ́ta ọkùnrin alágbára. Jẹ́ kí wọ́n lọ láti lọ wá ọ̀gá rẹ wá. Bóyá ẹ̀mí Olúwa ti gbé e sókè, ó sì gbé e kalẹ̀ lórí òkè ńlá tàbí lórí ilẹ̀.” “Rárá,” Eliṣa dá a lóhùn pé, “Má ṣe rán wọn.”
And they said unto him, Behold now, there are among thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master; peradventure the Spirit of the Lord hath taken him up, and cast him upon one of the mountains, or into one of the valleys. And he said, Ye must not send.
17 Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n rọ̀ ọ́ títí ojú fi tì í láti gbà. Ó wí pé, “Rán wọn.” Wọ́n sì rán àádọ́ta ènìyàn tí ó wá a fún ọjọ́ mẹ́ta ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò rí i.
And they urged him till he was ashamed, when he said, Send. And they sent fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not.
18 Nígbà tí wọ́n padà dé ọ̀dọ̀ Eliṣa, tí ó dúró ní Jeriko, ó wí fún wọn pé, “Ṣé èmi kò sọ fún un yín kí ẹ má lọ?”
And they returned again to him, for he had remained at Jericho; and he then said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Ye should not go?
19 Àwọn ọkùnrin ìlú wí fún Eliṣa, pé, “Wò ó, olúwa wa, ìtẹ̀dó ìlú yìí dára, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ ti rí i, ṣùgbọ́n omi náà burú, ilẹ̀ náà sì sá.”
And the men of the city said unto Elisha', Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is good, as my Lord seeth; but the water is bad, and the land causeth untimely births.
20 Ó sì wí pé, “Mú àwokòtò tuntun fún mi wá, kí o sì mú iyọ̀ sí inú rẹ̀.” Wọ́n sì gbé e wá fún un.
And he said, Fetch me a new flask, and put salt therein: and they fetched it to him.
21 Nígbà náà ó sì jáde lọ sí ibi orísun omi, ó sì da iyọ̀ sí inú rẹ̀, ó wí pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: ‘Èmi ti wo omi yìí sàn. Kò ní mú ikú wá mọ́ tàbí mú ilẹ̀ náà sá.’”
And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast therein the salt, and said, Thus hath said the Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from there any more death or untimely births.
22 Omi náà sì ti dára ni mímu títí di òní, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ tí Eliṣa ti sọ.
So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the word of Elisha' which he spoke.
23 Láti ibẹ̀ Eliṣa lọ sókè ní Beteli gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ń rìn lọ lójú ọ̀nà, àwọn ọ̀dọ́ kan jáde wá láti ìlú náà wọ́n sì fi ṣe ẹlẹ́yà. “Máa lọ sókè ìwọ apárí!” Wọ́n wí pé. “Máa lọ sókè ìwọ apárí!”
And he went up from there to Beth-el: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth young lads out of the city, and they mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, bald-head! go up, bald-head!
24 Ó sì yípadà, ó sì wò wọ́n ó sì fi wọ́n bú ní orúkọ Olúwa. Nígbà náà beari méjì sì jáde wá láti inú igbó ó sì lu méjìlélógójì lára àwọn ọ̀dọ́ náà.
And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord; and there came forth two she-bears out of the forest, and tore of them forty and two boys.
25 Ó sì lọ sí orí òkè Karmeli láti ibẹ̀ ó sì padà sí Samaria.
And he went from there to mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
