2 Raja-raja 2
1 Tibalah waktunya TUHAN hendak mengangkat Elia ke surga dengan perantaraan angin puyuh. Ketika itu Elia dan Elisa telah berangkat dari Gilgal,
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 dan di tengah jalan Elia berkata kepada Elisa, "Tinggallah di sini. Saya disuruh TUHAN pergi ke Betel." Tetapi Elisa menjawab, "Demi TUHAN yang hidup dan demi nyawa Bapak, saya tidak akan meninggalkan Bapak." Jadi mereka bersama-sama meneruskan perjalanan sampai ke Betel.
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 Sekelompok nabi yang tinggal di situ pergi menemui Elisa dan bertanya, "Tahukah engkau bahwa pada hari ini tuanmu akan meninggalkan engkau karena diangkat oleh TUHAN?" "Ya, saya tahu," jawab Elisa. "Tapi sudahlah, tak usah kita membicarakan hal itu."
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 Kemudian berkatalah Elia kepada Elisa, "Tinggallah di sini, saya disuruh TUHAN pergi ke Yerikho." Tetapi Elisa menjawab, "Demi TUHAN yang hidup dan demi nyawa Bapak, saya tak akan meninggalkan Bapak." Jadi mereka berdua meneruskan perjalanan sampai ke Yerikho.
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 Sekelompok nabi yang tinggal di situ pergi menemui Elisa dan bertanya, "Tahukah engkau bahwa pada hari ini tuanmu akan diangkat Allah dan meninggalkan engkau?" "Ya, saya tahu," jawab Elisa. "Tapi sudahlah, tak usah kita membicarakan hal itu."
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 Kemudian berkatalah Elia kepada Elisa, "Tinggallah di sini. Saya disuruh TUHAN pergi ke Sungai Yordan." Tetapi Elisa menjawab, "Demi TUHAN yang hidup dan demi nyawa Bapak, saya tak akan meninggalkan Bapak." Maka mereka meneruskan perjalanan sampai ke Sungai Yordan,
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 dan 50 orang nabi mengikuti mereka. Lalu Elia dan Elisa berhenti di tepi sungai, dan kelima puluh nabi itu berdiri tidak seberapa jauh dari situ.
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 Elia melepaskan jubahnya, lalu menggulung dan memukulkannya ke atas air sungai itu. Maka air sungai itu terbagi dua, sehingga ia dan Elisa dapat berjalan di dasar yang kering.
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 Setelah sampai di seberang, Elia berkata kepada Elisa, "Mintalah apa yang kauinginkan dari saya sebelum saya diangkat TUHAN dan meninggalkan engkau!" Elisa menjawab, "Wariskanlah kuasa Bapak kepada saya, supaya saya dapat menjadi pengganti Bapak."
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 "Wah, itu sukar sekali," sahut Elia. "Tetapi kalau engkau melihat saya pada waktu saya diangkat TUHAN, permintaanmu akan dikabulkan. Kalau kau tidak melihat, permintaanmu akan ditolak."
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 Sambil berjalan, mereka berdua terus bercakap-cakap. Tiba-tiba sebuah kereta berapi yang ditarik oleh kuda berapi datang memisahkan mereka berdua lalu Elia diangkat ke surga oleh angin puyuh.
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 Elisa melihatnya lalu berseru, "Elia, Bapakku! Bapakku! Pelindung Israel yang perkasa! Bapak sudah tiada!" Maka hilanglah Elia dari pemandangan Elisa. Dengan sedih Elisa menyobek jubahnya menjadi dua,
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 lalu memungut jubah Elia yang terjatuh. Setelah itu ia kembali dan berdiri di tepi Sungai Yordan,
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 lalu memukulkan jubah Elia itu ke atas air serta berkata, "Di manakah TUHAN, Allah Elia itu?" Setelah ia memukulkan jubah itu ke air sungai itu, air itu terbagi dua dan ia berjalan ke seberang.
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 Kelima puluh nabi di Yerikho itu melihatnya, lalu berkata, "Kuasa Elia sudah pindah kepada Elisa!" Mereka mendatangi dia lalu sujud di depannya
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 dan berkata, "Kami ada 50 orang, semuanya kuat-kuat. Karena itu, marilah kita pergi mencari Elia tuanmu. Mungkin Roh TUHAN telah membawa dia ke gunung atau ke lembah, lalu meninggalkannya di situ." "Tidak usah!" jawab Elisa.
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 Tetapi mereka terus saja mendesak sehingga ia menyetujuinya. Maka pergilah kelima puluh nabi itu mencari Elia selama tiga hari, tetapi mereka tidak menemukannya.
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 Lalu mereka kembali kepada Elisa yang sedang menunggu di Yerikho. "Bukankah saya sudah berkata bahwa kalian tidak usah pergi?" kata Elisa kepada mereka.
And they returned to him, for he lived in Jericho: and Elisaie said, Did I not say to you, Go not?
19 Beberapa orang dari Yerikho datang kepada Elisa dan berkata, "Pak, seperti yang Bapak lihat sendiri, kota ini baik, tetapi airnya tidak baik dan menyebabkan wanita yang hamil, keguguran."
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 "Ambilkan mangkuk yang masih baru," kata Elisa, "dan taruhlah garam di dalamnya." Maka mereka membawa yang dimintanya itu kepadanya.
And Elisaie said, Bring me a new pitcher, and put salt in it. And they took [one], and brought [it] to him.
21 Lalu pergilah Elisa ke sumber air kemudian melemparkan garam itu ke dalam air dan berkata, "Inilah yang dikatakan TUHAN: 'Aku murnikan air ini supaya tidak lagi menyebabkan kematian atau keguguran!'"
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 Sejak itu murnilah air itu sesuai dengan kata-kata Elisa.
And the waters were healed until this day, according to the word of Elisaie which he spoke.
23 Setelah itu pergilah Elisa dari Yerikho ke Betel. Di tengah jalan sekelompok anak-anak keluar dari kota dan mengolok-olokkan dia. "Hai botak, botak, pergi dari sini!" teriak mereka.
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 Elisa menoleh dan memandang mereka lalu menyumpahi mereka demi nama TUHAN. Saat itu juga dua ekor beruang betina keluar dari hutan dan mencabik-cabik empat puluh dua orang anak dari antara anak-anak itu.
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 Elisa meneruskan perjalanan ke Gunung Karmel, kemudian kembali ke Samaria.
And he went thence to mount Carmel, and returned thence to Samaria.
