< 2 Kings 2 >

1 And it was when took up Yahweh Elijah by the whirlwind the heavens and he went Elijah and Elisha from Gilgal.
Lorsque l’Éternel fit monter Élie au ciel dans un tourbillon, Élie partait de Guilgal avec Élisée.
2 And he said Elijah to Elisha remain please here for Yahweh he has sent me to Beth-el and he said Elisha [by] [the] life of Yahweh and [by] [the] life of self your if I will leave you and they went down Beth-el.
Élie dit à Élisée: Reste ici, je te prie, car l’Éternel m’envoie jusqu’à Béthel. Élisée répondit: L’Éternel est vivant et ton âme est vivante! Je ne te quitterai point. Et ils descendirent à Béthel.
3 And they came out [the] sons of the prophets who [were at] Beth-el to Elisha and they said to him ¿ do you know that this day Yahweh [is] about to take master your from over head your and he said also I I know be silent.
Les fils des prophètes qui étaient à Béthel sortirent vers Élisée, et lui dirent: Sais-tu que l’Éternel enlève aujourd’hui ton maître au-dessus de ta tête? Et il répondit: Je le sais aussi; taisez-vous.
4 And he said to him Elijah O Elisha - remain please here for Yahweh he has sent me Jericho and he said [by] [the] life of Yahweh and [by] [the] life of self your if I will leave you and they went Jericho.
Élie lui dit: Élisée, reste ici, je te prie, car l’Éternel m’envoie à Jéricho. Il répondit: L’Éternel est vivant et ton âme est vivante! Je ne te quitterai point. Et ils arrivèrent à Jéricho.
5 And they drew near [the] sons of the prophets who [were] at Jericho to Elisha and they said to him ¿ do you know that this day Yahweh [is] about to take master your from over head your and he said also I I know be silent.
Les fils des prophètes qui étaient à Jéricho s’approchèrent d’Élisée, et lui dirent: Sais-tu que l’Éternel enlève aujourd’hui ton maître au-dessus de ta tête? Et il répondit: Je le sais aussi; taisez-vous.
6 And he said to him Elijah remain please here for Yahweh he has sent me the Jordan towards and he said [by] [the] life of Yahweh and [by] [the] life of self your if I will leave you and they went [the] two of them.
Élie lui dit: Reste ici, je te prie, car l’Éternel m’envoie au Jourdain. Il répondit: L’Éternel est vivant et ton âme est vivante! Je ne te quitterai point. Et ils poursuivirent tous deux leur chemin.
7 And fifty man from [the] sons of the prophets they went and they stood from before from a distance and [the] two of them they stood at the Jordan.
Cinquante hommes d’entre les fils des prophètes arrivèrent et s’arrêtèrent à distance vis-à-vis, et eux deux s’arrêtèrent au bord du Jourdain.
8 And he took Elijah cloak his and he folded it up and he struck the waters and they were divided hither and hither and they passed over [the] two of them on the dry ground.
Alors Élie prit son manteau, le roula, et en frappa les eaux, qui se partagèrent çà et là, et ils passèrent tous deux à sec.
9 And it was when had passed over they and Elijah he said to Elisha ask what? will I do for you before I will be taken from with you and he said Elisha and may it be please a mouth of two in spirit your to me.
Lorsqu’ils eurent passé, Élie dit à Élisée: Demande ce que tu veux que je fasse pour toi, avant que je sois enlevé d’avec toi. Élisée répondit: Qu’il y ait sur moi, je te prie, une double portion de ton esprit!
10 And he said you have made difficult to ask if you will see me taken from with you may it be to you thus and if not not it will be.
Élie dit: Tu demandes une chose difficile. Mais si tu me vois pendant que je serai enlevé d’avec toi, cela t’arrivera ainsi; sinon, cela n’arrivera pas.
11 And it was they [were] walking continuously and speaking and there! a chariot of fire and horses of fire and they separated between [the] two of them and he went up Elijah in the whirlwind the heavens.
Comme ils continuaient à marcher en parlant, voici, un char de feu et des chevaux de feu les séparèrent l’un de l’autre, et Élie monta au ciel dans un tourbillon.
12 And Elisha [was] seeing and he [was] crying out O father my - father my [the] chariotry of Israel and horsemen its and not he saw him again and he took hold on clothes his and he tore them into two pieces.
Élisée regardait et criait: Mon père! Mon père! Char d’Israël et sa cavalerie! Et il ne le vit plus. Saisissant alors ses vêtements, il les déchira en deux morceaux,
13 And he took up [the] cloak of Elijah which it had fallen from on him and he went back and he stood on [the] bank of the Jordan.
et il releva le manteau qu’Élie avait laissé tomber. Puis il retourna, et s’arrêta au bord du Jourdain;
14 And he took [the] cloak of Elijah which it had fallen from on him and he struck the waters and he said where? [is] Yahweh [the] God of Elijah also he - and he struck the waters and they were divided hither and hither and he passed over Elisha.
il prit le manteau qu’Élie avait laissé tomber, et il en frappa les eaux, et dit: Où est l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Élie? Lui aussi, il frappa les eaux, qui se partagèrent çà et là, et Élisée passa.
15 And they saw him [the] sons of the prophets who [were] at Jericho from before and they said it has rested [the] spirit of Elijah on Elisha and they came to meet him and they bowed down to him [the] ground towards.
Les fils des prophètes qui étaient à Jéricho, vis-à-vis, l’ayant vu, dirent: L’esprit d’Élie repose sur Élisée! Et ils allèrent à sa rencontre, et se prosternèrent contre terre devant lui.
16 And they said to him here! please there with servants your [are] fifty men sons of ability let them go please so they may search for master your lest it has carried off him [the] spirit of Yahweh and it has cast him on one of the mountains or in one of (the valleys *Qk) and he said not you must send.
Ils lui dirent: Voici, il y a parmi tes serviteurs cinquante hommes vaillants; veux-tu qu’ils aillent chercher ton maître? Peut-être que l’esprit de l’Éternel l’a emporté et l’a jeté sur quelque montagne ou dans quelque vallée. Il répondit: Ne les envoyez pas.
17 And they urged him until was ashamed and he said send [them] and they sent out fifty man and they searched three days and not they found him.
Mais ils le pressèrent longtemps; et il dit: Envoyez-les. Ils envoyèrent les cinquante hommes, qui cherchèrent Élie pendant trois jours et ne le trouvèrent point.
18 And they returned to him and he [was] remaining in Jericho and he said to them ¿ not did I say to you may not you go.
Lorsqu’ils furent de retour auprès d’Élisée, qui était à Jéricho, il leur dit: Ne vous avais-je pas dit: N’allez pas?
19 And they said [the] people of the city to Elisha here! please [the] location of the city [is] good just as lord my [is] seeing and the waters [are] bad and the land [is] causing abortions.
Les gens de la ville dirent à Élisée: Voici, le séjour de la ville est bon, comme le voit mon seigneur; mais les eaux sont mauvaises, et le pays est stérile.
20 And he said fetch for me a jar new and put there salt and they took [it] to him.
Il dit: Apportez-moi un plat neuf, et mettez-y du sel. Et ils le lui apportèrent.
21 And he went out to [the] outlet of the waters and he threw there salt and he said thus he says Yahweh I have healed the waters these not it will be from there again death and abortion.
Il alla vers la source des eaux, et il y jeta du sel, et dit: Ainsi parle l’Éternel: J’assainis ces eaux; il n’en proviendra plus ni mort, ni stérilité.
22 And they have been healed the waters until the day this according to [the] word of Elisha which he spoke.
Et les eaux furent assainies, jusqu’à ce jour, selon la parole qu’Élisée avait prononcée.
23 And he went up from there Beth-el and he - [was] going up on the way and lads young they came out from the city and they derided him and they said to him go up O bald [man] go up O bald [man].
Il monta de là à Béthel; et comme il cheminait à la montée, des petits garçons sortirent de la ville, et se moquèrent de lui. Ils lui disaient: Monte, chauve! Monte, chauve!
24 And he turned behind him and he saw them and he cursed them in [the] name of Yahweh and they came out two [female] bears from the forest and they tore in pieces of them forty and two boys.
Il se retourna pour les regarder, et il les maudit au nom de l’Éternel. Alors deux ours sortirent de la forêt, et déchirèrent quarante-deux de ces enfants.
25 And he went from there to [the] mountain of Carmel and from there he returned Samaria.
De là il alla sur la montagne du Carmel, d’où il retourna à Samarie.
