2 Mpanjaka 2
1 Ary nony efa hampakarin’ i Jehovah ho any an-danitra amin’ ny tafio-drivotra Elia, dia niara-nandeha avy tany Gilgala izy sy Elisa.
And it came to pass, when the Lord was going to take Eliu with a whirlwind as it were into heaven, that Eliu and Elisaie went out of Galgala.
2 Ary hoy Elia tamin’ i Elisa: Masìna ianao, mijanòna eto; fa Jehovah efa naniraka ahy hatrany Betela. Fa hoy Elisa: Raha velona koa Jehovah, ary raha velona koa ny ainao, tsy handao anao mihitsy aho. Ka dia nidina nankany Betela izy roa lahy.
And Eliu said to Elisaie, Stay here, I pray you; for God has sent me to Baethel. And Elisaie said, [As] the Lord lives and your soul lives, I will not leave you; so they came to Baethel.
3 Ary nivoaka nankany amin’ i Elisa ireo zanaky ny mpaminany izay tao Betela ka nanao taminy hoe: Fantatrao va fa anio no hangalan’ i Jehovah ny tomponao hiala ho any ambonin’ ny lohanao? Dia hoy izy: Eny, fantatro ihany koa izany, fa mangìna ianareo.
And the sons of the prophets who were in Baethel came to Elisaie, and said to him, Do you know, that the Lord this day is going to take your lord away from your head? And he said, Yes, I know [it]; be silent.
4 Ary hoy Elia taminy: Masìna ianao, ry Elisa, mijanòna eto; fa Jehovah efa naniraka ahy ho any Jeriko. Fa hoy Elisa: Raha velona koa Jehovah, ary raha velona koa ny ainao, tsy handao anao mihitsy aho. Ka dia tonga tany Jeriko izy roa lahy.
And Eliu said to Elisaie, Stay here, I pray you; for the Lord has sent me to Jericho. And he said, [As] the Lord lives and your soul lives, I will not leave you. And they came to Jericho.
5 Ary ireo zanaky ny mpaminany izay tao Jeriko nanatona an’ i Elisa ka nanao taminy hoe: Fantatrao va fa anio no hangalan’ i Jehovah ny tomponao hiala ho any ambonin’ ny lohanao? Ary izy namaly hoe: Eny, fantatro ihany koa izany, fa mangìna ianareo.
And the sons of the prophets who were in Jericho drew near to Elisaie, and said to him, Do you know that the Lord is about to take away your master today from your head? And he said, Yes, I know [it]; hold your peace.
6 Ary hoy Elia taminy: Masìna ianao, mijanòna eto; fa Jehovah efa naniraka ahy ho any Jordana. Fa hoy Elisa: Raha velona koa Jehovah, ary raha velona koa ny ainao, tsy handao anao mihitsy aho. Ary dia lasa nandeha izy roa lahy.
And Eliu said to him, Stay here, I pray you, for the Lord has sent me to Jordan. And Elisaie said, [As] the Lord lives and your soul lives, I will not leave you: and they both went on.
7 Ary nisy dimam-polo lahy, zanaky ny mpaminany, nandeha, dia nijanona tandrifiny teny lavitra eny; fa izy roa lahy kosa nitsangana teo amoron’ i Jordana.
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets [went also], and they stood opposite afar off: and both stood on [the bank] of Jordan.
8 Ary Elia nandray ny kapôtiny ka namalona azy, dia nikapoka ny rano, ary nisaraka roa ny rano, ka dia nita tamin’ ny tany maina izy roa lahy.
And Eliu took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and struck the water: and the water was divided on this side and on that side, and they both went over on dry ground.
9 Ary nony efa tafita izy roa lahy, dia hoy Elia tamin’ i Elisa: Angataho izay hataoko ho anao, dieny tsy mbola misaraka aminao aho. Ary hoy Elisa: Masìna ianao, aoka ny anjaran-droa amin’ ny fanahinao mba ho ahy.
And it came to pass while they were crossing over, that Eliu said to Elisaie, Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken up from you. And Elisaie said, Let there be, I pray you, a double [portion] of your spirit upon me.
10 Fa hoy izy: Sarotra ny nangatahinao; kanefa raha mahita ahy misaraka aminao ianao, dia ho anao ihany izany; fa raha tsy izany kosa, dia tsy ho anao izany.
And Eliu said, You have asked a hard thing: if you shall see me when I am taken up from you, then shall it be so to you; and if not, it shall not be [so].
11 Ary raha mbola nandeha sy niresaka izy roa lahy, dia, indro, nisy kalesy afo sy soavaly afo nampisaraka azy roa lahy; ary Elia niakatra tamin’ ny tafio-drivotra ho any an-danitra.
And it came to pass as they were going, they went on talking; and, behold, a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and it separated between them both; and Eliu was taken up in a whirlwind as it were into heaven.
12 Ary raha nahita izany Elisa, dia niantso hoe: Ry ikaky ô, ry ikaky ô, eny kalesin’ ny Isiraely sy ny mpitaingin-tsoavaliny! Dia tsy nahita azy intsony izy. Ary noraisiny ny fitafiany ka notriariny roa.
And Elisaie saw, and cried, Father, father, the chariot of Israel, and the horseman thereof! And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his garments, and tore them into two pieces.
13 Ary nalainy ny kapôtin’ i Elia izay latsaka avy teny aminy, dia niverina izy ka nitsangana teo amoron’ i Jordana.
And Elisaie took up the mantle of Eliu, which fell from off him upon Elisaie; and Elisaie returned, and stood upon the brink of Jordan;
14 Dia noraisin’ i Elisa ny kapôtin’ i Elia, ilay latsaka avy teny aminy, ka nakapony ny rano, dia hoy izy: Aiza Jehovah, Andriamanitr’ i Elia? Eny, Elisa koa nikapoka ny rano, dia nisaraka roa izany, ka dia nita izy.
and he took the mantle of Eliu, which fell from off him, and struck the water, and said, Where is the Lord God of Eliu? and he struck the waters, and they were divided hither and there; and Elisaie went over.
15 Ary raha nahita azy ireo ny zanaky ny mpaminany izay nanandrify azy teo Jeriko, dia nanao hoe: Ny fanahin’ i Elia efa mipetraka amin’ i Elisa. Ary nandeha nitsena azy ireo ka niankohoka tamin’ ny tany teo anatrehany.
And the sons of the prophets who were in Jericho on the opposite side saw him, and said, The spirit of Eliu has rested upon Elisaie. And they came to meet him, and did obeisance to him to the ground.
16 Dia hoy ireo taminy: Indro, misy dimam-polo lahy matanjaka ato amin’ ny mpanomponao; masìna ianao, aoka handeha hitady ny tomponao ireo, fandrao naingain’ ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah izy ka nazerany any an-tendrombohitra anankiray, na any an-dohasaha anankiray. Fa hoy izy: Aza maniraka ianareo.
And they said to him, Behold now, [there are] with your servants fifty men of strength: let them go now, and seek your lord: perhaps the Spirit of the Lord has taken him up, and cast him into Jordan, or on one of the mountains, or on one of the hills. And Elisaie said, You shall not send.
17 Ary raha nanery azy ireo mandra-pikaodikaodiny, dia hoy izy: Maniraha ary. Dia naniraka dimam-polo lahy izy; ary nitady azy hateloana ireny, fa tsy nahita.
And they pressed him until he was ashamed; and he said, Send. And they sent fifty men, and sought three days, and found him not.
18 Ary tonga tao aminy indray ireny, raha mbola tao Jeriko ihany izy, dia hoy izy taminy: Tsy nilaza taminareo va aho nanao hoe: Aza mandeha?
And they returned to him, for he lived in Jericho: and Elisaie said, Did I not say to you, Go not?
19 Ary hoy ny mponina tao amin’ izany tanàna izany tamin’ i Elisa: Masìna ianao, indro, tsara toerana ity tanàna ity, tompoko, araka izao hitanao izao, saingy ratsy rano, ary ny tany tsy mampahavanon’ anaka.
And the men of the city said to Elisaie, Behold, the situation of the city [is] good, as [our] lord sees; but the waters [are] bad, and the ground barren.
20 Dia hoy izy: Itondray lovia vaovao aho, ka asio sira ao anatiny. Dia nentiny tany aminy izany.
And Elisaie said, Bring me a new pitcher, and put salt in it. And they took [one], and brought [it] to him.
21 Ary nivoaka nankany amin’ ilay niandohan’ ny rano izy, dia nanipy sira tao ka nanao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Efa nahatsara ity rano ity Aho; tsy hisy fahafatesana na tsi-fahavanonan’ anaka intsony hiseho eto.
And Elisaie went out to the spring of the waters, and cast salt therein, and says, Thus says the Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not be any longer death thence or barren [land].
22 Ka dia tsara ny rano mandraka androany araka ny teny nataon’ i Elisa.
And the waters were healed until this day, according to the word of Elisaie which he spoke.
23 Ary dia niakatra avy tao izy ka nankany Betela; ary nony niakatra teny an-dalana izy, dia, indreo, nisy ankizilahy madinika nivoaka avy tao an-tanàna ka nanakora azy hoe: Miakara, ry ilay sola; miakara, ry ilay sola!
And he went up thence to Baethel: and as he was going up by the way there came up also little children from the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, bald-head, go up.
24 Ary nitodika izy ka nahita azy, dia nanozona azy tamin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah. Ary dia nisy beravavy roa avy tany an’ ala namiravira roa amby efa-polo tamin’ ireo ankizilahy madinika ireo.
And he turned after them, and saw them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And, behold, there came out two bears out of the wood, and they tore forty and two children of them.
25 Dia niala teo Elisa ka nankany an-tendrombohitra Karmela, ary avy tao no niverenany any Samaria.
And he went thence to mount Carmel, and returned thence to Samaria.
