2 Kings 2
1 It happened, when Jehovah would take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
O ruo mgbe Onyenwe anyị chọrọ ị kpọrọ Ịlaịja laa nʼeluigwe site nʼoke ifufe, Ịlaịja na Ịlaisha nọ nʼụzọ sitere Gilgal.
2 Elijah said to Elisha, "Please wait here, for Jehovah has sent me as far as Bethel." Elisha said, "As Jehovah lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." So they went down to Bethel.
Ịlaịja sịrị Ịlaisha, “Nọdụ nʼebe a, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ziri m ozi ka m gaa Betel.” Ma Ịlaisha zara sị ya, “Dịka Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ, na dịka gị onwe gị nọkwa na-adị ndụ, agaghị m ahapụ gị.” Ya mere, ha abụọ sooro gaa Betel.
3 The sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, "Do you know that Jehovah will take away your master from your head today?" He said, "Yes, I know it; hold your peace."
Nʼebe ahụ, ụmụ okorobịa ndị amụma nọ na Betel pụtara zute ha abụọ. Ndị amụma ahụ bịakwutere Ịlaisha sị ya, “Ị maara na Onyenwe anyị ga-esi nʼebe ị nọ wepụ onyenwe gị Ịlaịja taa?” Ịlaisha sịrị, “Mụ onwe m maara, ma unu nọrọ nwayọọ.”
4 Elijah said to him, "Elisha, please wait here, for Jehovah has sent me to Jericho." He said, "As Jehovah lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." So they came to Jericho.
Mgbe ahụ, Ịlaịja sịrị ya, “Ịlaisha, nọdụ nʼebe a, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ziri m ozi ka m gaa Jeriko.” Ma ọ zara, “Dịka Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ, na dịka gị onwe gị nọkwa na-adị ndụ, agaghị m ahapụ gị.” Ya mere ha abụọ sokwaara ruo Jeriko.
5 The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came near to Elisha, and said to him, "Do you know that Jehovah will take away your master from your head today?" He answered, "Yes, I know it. Hold your peace."
Ndị otu ndị amụma nọ na Jeriko bịakwutere Ịlaisha nso jụọ ya, “Ị maara na Onyenwe anyị ga-ewepụ onyenwe gị taa?” Ọ zara, “E, amaara m, ya mere nọọnụ nwayọọ.”
6 Elijah said to him, "Please wait here, for Jehovah has sent me to the Jordan." He said, "As Jehovah lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." They both went on.
Mgbe ahụ, Ịlaịja sịrị ya, “Nọdụ nʼebe a, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ziri m ka m jee Jọdan.” Ma ọ zara, “Dịka Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ, na dịka gị onwe gị nọkwa na-adị ndụ, agaghị m ahapụ gị.” Ya mere, ha abụọ sooro na-eje.
7 Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both stood by the Jordan.
Iri ndị amụma ise sitere nʼetiti ndị amụma sooro ha guzoro nʼebe dị anya na ncherita ihu ebe Ịlaịja na Ịlaisha kwụsịrị nʼakụkụ Jọdan.
8 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.
Mgbe ahụ, Ịlaịja chịịrị uwe mwụda ya, pịakọtaa ya, tie ya nʼelu osimiri ahụ. Mmiri ahụ kewara ụzọ abụọ, ala akọrọ pụtakwara. Nʼebe ahụ ka Ịlaịja na Ịlaisha si gafee nʼofe ọzọ nke osimiri ahụ.
9 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."
Mgbe ha abụọ gafesịrị, Ịlaịja jụrụ Ịlaisha ajụjụ sị ya, “Gịnị ka ị chọrọ ka m meere gị tupu e site nʼebe ị nọ wepụ m?” Ịlaisha rịọrọ sị ya, “Biko, mee ka m nweta ụdị mmụọ i nwere okpukpu abụọ.”
10 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."
Ịlaịja zara sị ya, “Ihe ị rịọrọ bụ ihe sịrị ike omume. Ọ bụrụ na ị hụ m mgbe a na-ewepụ m site nʼebe ị nọ, ị ga-enweta ihe ị rịọrọ. Ma ọ bụrụ na ị hụghị m, ị gaghị enweta ihe ị rịọrọ.”
11 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.
Mgbe ha na-aga nʼihu nʼije ha na-akparịta ụka, na mberede, ụgbọ ọkụ nke ịnyịnya ọkụ na-adọkpụ pụtara ihe kewaa ha abụọ. Mgbe ahụ kwa oke ifufe buuru Ịlaịja rigoro nʼeluigwe.
12 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.
Ịlaisha hụrụ ya, lelie anya elu tie mkpu akwa sị, “Nna m! Nna m! Usuu ụgbọ agha na usuu ndị na-agba ịnyịnya Izrel!” Ọ hụkwaghị Ịlaịja anya ọzọ. O jidere uwe o yi nʼahụ dọwaa ya ibe abụọ.
13 And he picked up the cloak of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of the Jordan.
Emesịa, ọ chịlịri uwe mwụda Ịlaịja nke dapụrụ mgbe e weliri ya elu, laghachi bịa guzo nʼakụkụ osimiri Jọdan.
14 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 Jehovah, 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.
O tiri akwa ahụ nʼelu mmiri ahụ jụọ sị, “Olee ebe Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Ịlaịja nọ?” Mgbe o tiri mmiri ahụ ihe, o kewakwara otu ụzọ nʼaka nri nke ọzọ nʼaka ekpe, Ịlaisha gafere nʼofe nke ọzọ.
15 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.
Mgbe ndị amụma ahụ si Jeriko nʼele anya, hụrụ ihe mere, ha sịrị, “Mmụọ Ịlaịja adakwasịla Ịlaisha.” Ha gara zute ya, kpọọ isiala nʼihu ya.
16 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 Spirit of Jehovah 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."
Ha sịrị ya “Lee, anyị bụ ndị ohu gị nwere iri ndị ikom ise ahụ siri ike. Kwere ka ha ga chọgharịa nna gị ukwu. Ma eleghị anya mmụọ Onyenwe anyị eburula ya tụdakwa ya nʼotu ugwu, maọbụ nʼotu ndagwurugwu.” Ịlaisha zaghachiri, “Unu ezigala ha.”
17 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.
Ma mgbe ha nọgidere rịọsie ya arịrịọ ike, ruo mgbe o nwekwaghị ike igbochi ha. Ọ gwara ha sị, “Ọ dị mma, ziganụ mmadụ ka ha gaa chọọ ya.” Ha zigara iri ndị ikom ise, ndị gara chọgharịa Ịlaịja ụbọchị atọ, ma ha achọtaghị ya.
18 They came back to him, while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, "Did I not tell you not to go?"
Ịlaisha nọ na Jeriko mgbe ndị a lọghachiri bịa kọọrọ ya otu ha si gaa. Mgbe ahụ, ọ gwara ha sị, “Ọ bụ na m agwaghị unu sị unu ejela?”
19 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."
Ndị obodo ahụ sịrị Ịlaisha, “Lee, onyenwe anyị, obodo anyị dị nʼebe dị mma, dịka gị onwe gị na-ahụ, ma mmiri dị nʼime ya jọrọ njọ, ala ya adịghị amịpụta mkpụrụ dịka o kwesiri.”
20 He said, "Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it." They brought it to him.
Ịlaisha zara sị ha, “Ọ dị mma, gaanụ tinye nnu nʼime efere ọhụrụ wetara m ya.” Ha gara weta efere ọhụrụ nke nnu juru nʼime ya.
21 He went out to the spring of the waters, and threw salt into it, and said, "Thus says Jehovah, 'I have healed these waters. There shall not be from there any more death or miscarrying.'"
Ịlaisha buuru nnu ahụ gaa nʼebe mmiri ahụ si asọpụta, wụnye nnu ahụ nʼime ya. Mgbe ọ na-eme nke a, o kwuru okwu sị, “Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ‘Agwọọla m mmiri a. Ọnwụ maọbụ amịghị mkpụrụ nke ala agaghị adịkwa.’”
22 So the waters were healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.
Site nʼụbọchị ahụ gaa nʼihu, mmiri ahụ dịịrị ọcha ruo taa, dịka Ịlaisha kwuru.
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 baldhead."
Emesịa, Ịlaisha sitere na Jeriko pụọ ịlaghachi Betel. Mgbe ọ na-aga nʼụzọ, ụfọdụ ụmụ okorobịa nta sitere nʼime obodo pụta, bidoro jiri ya na-eme ihe ọchị, sị ya, “Onyeisi nkwọcha, site nʼebe a pụọ! Onyeisi nkwọcha, site nʼebe a pụọ!”
24 He looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the name of Jehovah. Two female bears came out of the woods, and mauled forty-two of those youths.
Ịlaisha tụgharịrị lee ha anya, bụọ ha ọnụ nʼaha Onyenwe anyị. Otu mgbe ahụ, nne anụ ọhịa abụọ, a na-akpọ bịa, sitere nʼọhịa pụta, dọgbuo iri ụmụ okorobịa anọ na abụọ nʼime ha.
25 He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
Emesịa, Ịlaisha sitere nʼebe ahụ pụọ jeruo nʼugwu Kamel. Emesịakwa, o sitere nʼebe ahụ laghachi na Sameria.
