列王紀下 2
1 耶和華要用旋風接以利亞升天的時候，以利亞與以利沙從吉甲前往。
It happened, when the LORD would take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
2 以利亞對以利沙說：「耶和華差我往伯特利去，你可以在這裏等候。」以利沙說：「我指着永生的耶和華，又敢在你面前起誓，我必不離開你。」於是二人下到伯特利。
Elijah said to Elisha, "Please wait here, for the LORD has sent me as far as Bethel." Elisha said, "As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." So they went down to Bethel.
3 住伯特利的先知門徒出來見以利沙，對他說：「耶和華今日要接你的師傅離開你，你知道不知道？」他說：「我知道，你們不要作聲。」
The sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, "Do you know that the LORD will take away your master from your head today?" He said, "Yes, I know it; hold your peace."
4 以利亞對以利沙說：「耶和華差遣我往耶利哥去，你可以在這裏等候。」以利沙說：「我指着永生的耶和華，又敢在你面前起誓，我必不離開你。」於是二人到了耶利哥。
Elijah said to him, "Elisha, please wait here, for the LORD has sent me to Jericho." He said, "As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." So they came to Jericho.
5 住耶利哥的先知門徒就近以利沙，對他說：「耶和華今日要接你的師傅離開你，你知道不知道？」他說：「我知道，你們不要作聲。」
The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came near to Elisha, and said to him, "Do you know that the LORD will take away your master from your head today?" He answered, "Yes, I know it. Hold your peace."
6 以利亞對以利沙說：「耶和華差遣我往約旦河去，你可以在這裏等候。」以利沙說：「我指着永生的耶和華，又敢在你面前起誓，我必不離開你。」於是二人一同前往。
Elijah said to him, "Please wait here, for the LORD has sent me to the Jordan." He said, "As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." They both went on.
7 有先知門徒去了五十人，遠遠地站在他們對面；二人在約旦河邊站住。
Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both stood by the Jordan.
8 以利亞將自己的外衣捲起來，用以打水，水就左右分開，二人走乾地而過。
Elijah took his cloak, and wrapped it together, and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that the two of them went over on dry ground.
9 過去之後，以利亞對以利沙說：「我未曾被接去離開你，你要我為你做甚麼，只管求我。」以利沙說：「願感動你的靈加倍地感動我。」
It happened, when they had gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you." Elisha said, "Please let a double portion of your spirit be on me."
10 以利亞說：「你所求的難得。雖然如此，我被接去離開你的時候，你若看見我，就必得着；不然，必得不着了。」
He said, "You have asked a hard thing. If you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so."
11 他們正走着說話，忽有火車火馬將二人隔開，以利亞就乘旋風升天去了。
It happened, as they still went on, and talked, that look, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
12 以利沙看見，就呼叫說：「我父啊！我父啊！以色列的戰車馬兵啊！」以後不再見他了。 於是以利沙把自己的衣服撕為兩片。
Elisha saw it, and he cried, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen." He saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and tore them in two pieces.
13 他拾起以利亞身上掉下來的外衣，回去站在約旦河邊。
And he picked up the cloak of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of the Jordan.
14 他用以利亞身上掉下來的外衣打水，說：「耶和華－以利亞的上帝在哪裏呢？」打水之後，水也左右分開，以利沙就過來了。
And he took the cloak of Elijah that fell from him, and struck the water, and it did not divide. And he said, "Where is the LORD, the God of Elijah, even he?" And he struck the water a second time, and they divided to the one side and to the other; and Elisha crossed over.
15 住耶利哥的先知門徒從對面看見他，就說：「感動以利亞的靈感動以利沙了。」他們就來迎接他，在他面前俯伏於地，
When the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho over against him saw him, they said, "The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha." They came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
16 對他說：「僕人們這裏有五十個壯士，求你容他們去尋找你師傅，或者耶和華的靈將他提起來，投在某山某谷。」以利沙說：「你們不必打發人去。」
And they said to him, "See now, there are with your servants fifty strong men. Please let them go and seek your master. Perhaps the Ruach of the LORD has taken him up and thrown him into the Jordan, or on some mountain, or into some valley." And he said, "Do not send them."
17 他們再三催促他，他難以推辭，就說：「你們打發人去吧！」他們便打發五十人去，尋找了三天，也沒有找着。
When they urged him until he was ashamed, he said, "Send them." They sent therefore fifty men; and they searched for three days, but did not find him.
18 以利沙仍然在耶利哥等候他們回到他那裏；他對他們說：「我豈沒有告訴你們不必去嗎？」
They came back to him, while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, "Did I not tell you not to go?"
19 耶利哥城的人對以利沙說：「這城的地勢美好，我主看見了；只是水惡劣，土產不熟而落。」
The men of the city said to Elisha, "Look, please, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land miscarries."
20 以利沙說：「你們拿一個新瓶來，裝鹽給我」；他們就拿來給他。
He said, "Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it." They brought it to him.
21 他出到水源，將鹽倒在水中，說：「耶和華如此說：『我治好了這水，從此必不再使人死，也不再使地土不生產。』」
He went out to the spring of the waters, and threw salt into it, and said, "Thus says the LORD, 'I have healed these waters. There shall not be from there any more death or miscarrying.'"
22 於是那水治好了，直到今日，正如以利沙所說的。
So the waters were healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.
23 以利沙從那裏上伯特利去，正上去的時候，有些童子從城裏出來，戲笑他說：「禿頭的上去吧！禿頭的上去吧！」
He went up from there to Bethel. As he was going up by the way, some youths came out of the city and mocked him, and said to him, "Go up, you baldy. Go up, you baldhead."
24 他回頭看見，就奉耶和華的名咒詛他們。於是有兩個母熊從林中出來，撕裂他們中間四十二個童子。
He looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. Two female bears came out of the woods, and mauled forty-two of those youths.
25 以利沙從伯特利上迦密山，又從迦密山回到撒馬利亞。
He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
