< 2 Kings 2 >

1 Just before the Lord took Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were walking together on their way from Gilgal.
A kad Gospod šæaše uzeti Iliju u vihoru na nebo, poðoše Ilija i Jelisije iz Galgala.
2 Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the Lord has sent me to Bethel.” But Elisha replied, “As the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went to Bethel.
I reèe Ilija Jelisiju: ostani ti ovdje, jer mene Gospod šalje do Vetilja. Ali Jelisije reèe: tako živ bio Gospod i tako živa bila duša tvoja, neæu te ostaviti. I doðoše u Vetilj.
3 The sons of the prophets who lived in Bethel came to Elisha and told him, “You do know that the Lord is going to take your master away from you today, don't you?” “Yes, I know,” he replied. “Don't talk about it.”
Tada doðoše k Jelisiju sinovi proroèki koji bijahu u Vetilju, i rekoše mu: znaš li da æe danas Gospod uzeti gospodara tvojega od tebe? A on reèe: znam, muèite.
4 Then Elijah said to him, “Please stay here, Elisha, for the Lord has sent me to Jericho.” He replied, “As the Lord lives, and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went to Jericho.
Opet mu reèe Ilija: Jelisije, ostani ti tu, jer me Gospod šalje u Jerihon. A on reèe: tako živ bio Gospod i tako živa bila duša tvoja, neæu te ostaviti. Tako doðoše u Jerihon.
5 The sons of the prophets who lived in Jericho came to Elisha and told him, “You do know that the Lord is going to take your master away from you today, don't you?” “Yes, I know,” he replied. “Don't talk about it.”
A sinovi proroèki koji bijahu u Jerihonu pristupiše k Jelisiju, i rekoše mu: znaš li da æe danas uzeti Gospod od tebe gospodara tvojega? A on reèe: znam, muèite.
6 Then Elijah said to him, “Please stay here, Elisha, for the Lord has sent me to the Jordan.” He replied, “As the Lord lives, and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they travelled on together.
Opet mu reèe Ilija: ostani ti tu, jer me Gospod šalje na Jordan. A on reèe: tako živ bio Gospod i tako bila živa tvoja duša, neæu te ostaviti. Tako otidoše obojica.
7 Then a group of fifty of the sons of the prophets went and stood facing Elijah and Elisha at a distance as the two of them stood by the Jordan.
I pedeset ljudi izmeðu sinova proroèkih otidoše i stadoše prema njima izdaleka, a oni obojica ustaviše se kod Jordana.
8 Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up, and hit the water. It divided to the one side and to the other and both of them crossed over on dry ground.
I uze Ilija plašt svoj, i saviv ga udari njim po vodi, a ona se rastupi tamo i amo, te prijeðoše obojica suhim.
9 When they arrived on the other side, Elijah asked Elisha, “What can I do for you before I'm taken from you?” “Please let me have a double amount of your spirit,” Elisha replied.
A kad prijeðoše, reèe Ilija Jelisiju: išti šta hoæeš da ti uèinim, dokle se nijesam uzeo od tebe. A Jelisije reèe: da budu dva dijela duha tvojega u mene.
10 “What you have asked for is hard,” Elijah responded. “But if you see me when I am taken from you, you will have it, otherwise not.”
A on mu reèe: zaiskao si tešku stvar; ali ako me vidiš kad se uzmem od tebe, biæe ti tako; ako li ne vidiš, neæe biti.
11 As they were walking along, talking, a chariot of fire and horses of fire came between them, and Elijah was taken up in the whirlwind to heaven.
I kad iðahu dalje razgovarajuæi se, gle, ognjena kola i ognjeni konji rastaviše ih, i Ilija otide u vihoru na nebo.
12 Elisha saw what happened and cried out, “My father! My father! Look! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!” Then Elisha couldn't see him anymore. He took his clothes and ripped them to pieces.
A Jelisije videæi to vikaše: oèe moj, oèe moj! kola Izrailjeva i konjici njegovi! I ne vidje ga više; potom uze haljine svoje i razdrije ih na dva komada.
13 Then Elisha picked up Elijah's cloak that had fallen from him, and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan.
I podiže plašt Ilijin, koji bješe spao s njega, i vrativ se stade na brijegu Jordanskom.
14 He took Elijah's cloak that had fallen from him, hit the water, and cried out, “Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” When he hit the water, it divided to the one side and to the other and Elisha crossed over.
I uzev plašt Ilijin, koji bješe spao s njega, udari po vodi i reèe: gdje je Gospod Bog Ilijin? A kad i on udari po vodi, rastupi se voda tamo i amo, i prijeðe Jelisije.
15 The sons of the prophets who lived in Jericho saw him from the opposite side and shouted out, “Elijah's spirit now rests upon Elisha!” They went over to meet him, and bowed to the ground before him.
A kad s druge strane vidješe sinovi proroèki, koji bijahu u Jerihonu, rekoše: poèinu duh Ilijin na Jelisiju. I sretoše ga i pokloniše mu se do zemlje.
16 “Look,” they said to Elisha, “we your servants have fifty good men here. Please allow them to go and search for your master. Maybe the Spirit of the Lord has taken him and put him down on a mountain or in a valley somewhere.” “Don't bother sending them,” Elisha replied.
I rekoše mu: evo ima u sluga tvojih pedeset junaka, neka idu i traže tvojega gospodara, da ga ne bude uzeo duh Gospodnji i bacio ga na kakvo brdo ili u kakav do. A on reèe: ne šaljite.
17 But they went on trying to persuade him until he was too embarrassed to say no. “Go ahead and send them,” he told them. So they sent fifty men, who searched for Elijah for three days but couldn't find him.
Ali oni navaljivahu na nj dokle mu se ne dosadi, te reèe: pošljite. I poslaše pedeset ljudi koji ga tražiše tri dana, ali ne naðoše.
18 When they returned to Elisha, who was staying in Jericho, he said to them, “Didn't I tell you not to bother going?”
I vratiše se k njemu, a on bijaše u Jerihonu, pa im reèe: nijesam li vam govorio da ne idete?
19 The townspeople said to Elisha, “Look, sir, while our town has a good location as you can see, the water is bad and the soil is poor.”
Tada graðani rekoše Jelisiju: gle, dobro je živjeti u ovom gradu, kao što gospodar naš vidi; ali je voda zla i zemlja nerodna.
20 “Bring me a brand new bowl and put some salt in it,” he replied. So they brought it to him.
A on im reèe: donesite mi nov kutao, i metnite u nj soli. I donesoše mu.
21 Then Elisha went to the spring, threw the salt into it, and said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘I have purified this water. It won't cause death or miscarriages anymore.’”
A on izide na izvor i baci u nj so, govoreæi: ovako veli Gospod: iscijelih ovu vodu, da ne bude više od nje smrti ni nerodnosti.
22 The water there is still pure to this very day, just as Elisha said it would be.
I voda posta zdrava do današnjega dana po rijeèi Jelisijevoj, koju izreèe.
23 Elisha went on from there to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, a group of youths came from the town. They made fun of him, calling out, “Go on up, baldy! Go on up, baldy!”
Potom otide odande u Vetilj; i kad iðaše putem, izidoše mala djeca iz grada i rugahu mu se govoreæi mu: hodi, æelo! hodi, æelo!
24 Turning around, he looked at them and called down a curse on them in the Lord's name. Suddenly two female bears came out of the forest and mauled forty-two of them.
A Jelisije obazre se i videæi ih prokle ih imenom Gospodnjim. Tada izidoše dvije medvjedice iz šume, i rastrgoše èetrdeset i dvoje djece.
25 Elisha carried on to Mount Carmel, and from there he went back to Samaria.
Odande otide na goru Karmilsku, a odande se vrati u Samariju.
