2 Kings 2
1 When the LORD was about to take Elijah up by a whirlwind into heaven, Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
Esi ɣeyiɣia de be Yehowa nakɔ Eliya ayi dziƒo le ahomya me la, Eliya kple Elisa dze mɔ tso Gilgal.
2 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.
Eliya gblɔ na Elisa be, “Nɔ afi sia; Yehowa ɖom ɖe Betel.” Ke Elisa gblɔ be, “Meta Yehowa ƒe agbe kple wò agbe be nyemagblẽ wò ɖi o.” Ale woyi Betel.
3 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 over you today?” He said, “Yes, I know it. Hold your peace.”
Nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo tso Betel va do go Elisa eye wobia Elisa be, “Ènya be Yehowa akɔ wò aƒetɔ adzoe le gbɔwò egbea?” Elisa ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ɛ̃, menya gake migagblɔe o.”
4 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.
Tete Eliya gblɔ nɛ be “Elisa, nɔ afi sia elabena Yehowa dɔm ɖe Yeriko.” Ke Elisa gaɖo eŋu be, “Meta Yehowa ƒe agbe kple wò agbe be nyemagblẽ wò ɖi o.” Ale wo ame eve la yi Yeriko.
5 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 over you today?” He answered, “Yes, I know it. Hold your peace.”
Nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe nusrɔ̃la siwo nɔ Yeriko la va bia Elisa be, “Ènya be Yehowa le wò aƒetɔ kplɔ ge adzoe le gbɔwò egbea?” Elisa ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ɛ̃, menya eya ta mizi ɖoɖoe!”
6 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.” Then they both went on.
Eliya gblɔ na Elisa be, “Nɔ afi sia; Yehowa ɖom ɖe Yɔdan tɔsisi la nu.” Elisa ɖo eŋu be, “Meta Yehowa kple wò agbe be nyemagblẽ wò ɖi o.” Ale wo ame eve la yi mɔzɔzɔa dzi.
7 Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both stood by the Jordan.
Nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe nusrɔ̃la blaatɔ̃ yi ɖatsi tsitre ɖe adzɔge eye wodze ŋgɔ afi si Eliya kple Elisa tɔ ɖo le Yɔdan tɔsisi la nu.
8 Elijah took his mantle, and rolled it up, and struck the waters; and they were divided here and there, so that they both went over on dry ground.
Eliya ɖe eƒe awu ʋlaya, ŋlɔe eye wòtsɔe ƒo tsi la dzi. Tsi la ma ɖe eve le ɖusime kple miame eye wo kple evea wotsoe le anyigba ƒuƒui dzi.
9 When they had gone over, 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.”
Esi woɖo go kemɛ dzi la, Eliya gblɔ na Elisa be, “Gblɔe nam, nu ka mawɔ na wò hafi woakɔm adzoe le gbɔwò?” Elisa ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Meɖe kuku tsɔ wò gbɔgbɔ la ƒe teƒe eve nam.”
10 He said, “You have asked a hard thing. If you see me when I am taken from you, it will be so for you; but if not, it will not be so.”
Eliya ɖo eŋu be, “Èbia nu sesẽ, ke hã la, ne àkpɔm esime woakɔm adzoe le gbɔwò la, ava eme na wò, ke ne mele alea o la, mava eme na wò o.”
11 As they continued on and talked, behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
Esime wonɔ zɔzɔm, nɔ dze ɖom la, dzotasiaɖam kple sɔwo ɖiɖi va ma wo kple evea dome eye Eliya to ahom la me yi dziƒo.
12 Elisha saw it, and he cried, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” He saw him no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces.
Elisa kpɔe eye wòdo ɣli sesĩe be, “Fofonye! Fofonye! Israel ƒe tasiaɖam kple eƒe sɔdolawo!” Esi wobu ɖee la, etsɔ eya ŋutɔ ƒe awu eye wòdzee.
13 He also took up Elijah’s mantle that fell from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan.
Etsɔ awu si ge le Eliya ŋu eye wòtrɔ yi ɖatsi tsitre ɖe Yɔdan tɔsisi la to.
14 He took Elijah’s mantle that fell from him, and struck the waters, and said, “Where is the LORD, the God of Elijah?” When he also had struck the waters, they were divided apart, and Elisha went over.
Etsɔ awu si ge le Eliya ŋu la ƒo tsi la dzi. Ebia be, “Afi ka Yehowa, Eliya ƒe Mawu la le azɔ?” Esi wòƒo tsia dzi la, tɔsisi la ma ɖe ɖusime kple miame siaa eye wòtso tɔsisi la.
15 When the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho facing 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.
Esime nyagblɔɖila siwo tso Yeriko la ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo kpɔ nu si dzɔ la, wodo ɣli gblɔ be, “Eliya ƒe gbɔgbɔ dze Elisa dzi!” Wozɔ yi ɖakpee eye wodo gbe nɛ bubutɔe.
16 They said to him, “See now, there are with your servants fifty strong men. Please let them go and seek your master. Perhaps the LORD’s Spirit has taken him up, and put him on some mountain or into some valley.” He said, “Do not send them.”
Wogblɔ nɛ be, “Amegã, ɖe gbe na mí ko, ekema míaƒe duƒula nyuitɔwo dometɔ blaatɔ̃ ayi gbedzi aɖadi wò amegã; ɖewohĩ Yehowa ƒe gbɔgbɔ gblẽe ɖe to aɖe dzi loo alo gblẽe ɖe balime le afi aɖe.” Ke Elisa ɖo eŋu be, “Ao, migaɖe fu na mia ɖokuiwo o.”
17 When they urged him until he was ashamed, he said, “Send them.” Therefore they sent fifty men; and they searched for three days, but did not find him.
Ke wonɔ nya sia ƒom ɖe enu va se ɖe esime nya la tii eye wògblɔ be, “Enyo, miyi!” Ale ame blaatɔ̃awo yi ɖadii ŋkeke etɔ̃, ke womekpɔe o.
18 They came back to him while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, “Did not I tell you, ‘Do not go’?”
Elisa ganɔ Yeriko esime ameawo trɔ gbɔ. Egblɔ na wo be, “Ɖe nyemegblɔe na mi be migayi oa?”
19 The men of the city said to Elisha, “Behold, please, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land is barren.”
Azɔ la, Yeriko dumegãwo va kpɔ Elisa eye wogblɔ nɛ be, “Nane le fu ɖem na mí. Wò ŋutɔ ènya be wotso du sia ɖe teƒe nyui aɖe, ke míaƒe tsi menyo o, eye wònana fu gena le míaƒe funɔwo ƒo.”
20 He said, “Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it.” Then they brought it to him.
Elisa gblɔ na wo be, “Enyo, miku dze ɖe agba yeye aɖe me vɛ nam.” Wowɔ nenema.
21 He went out to the spring of the waters, and threw salt into it, and said, “The LORD says, ‘I have healed these waters. There shall not be from there any more death or barren wasteland.’”
Elisa yi tsi la ƒe dzɔtsoƒe, tsɔ dze la kɔ ɖe eme eye wògblɔ be, “Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, ‘Mewɔ tsi sia kɔkɔe eye magahe ku alo fu gege vɛ azɔ o.’”
22 So the waters were healed to this day, according to Elisha’s word which he spoke.
Kpɔ ɖa, tsi la trɔ zu tsi nyui enumake tso ɣe ma ɣi va se ɖe fifia abe ale si Elisa gblɔ ene.
23 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 baldy!”
Elisa tso Yeriko yi Betel. Esi wònɔ zɔzɔm le mɔa dzi la, ŋutsuvi sue aɖewo tso dua me va nɔ fewu ɖum le eŋu be, “Dzo le afi sia, Elisa tabebetɔ.”
24 He looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the LORD’s name. Then two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of those youths.
Elisa trɔ kpɔ wo eye wòƒo fi de wo le Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ me. Enumake sisiblisinɔ eve do go tso ave aɖe me va vuvu wo ame blaene-vɔ-eve.
25 He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
Esia megbe la, Elisa yi Karmel to la dzi hafi trɔ yi Samaria.
