¹And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.

¹Zgodi se pa, ko je hotel GOSPOD vzeti Elija v viharju gori v nebesa, da je šel Elija z Elizejem iz Gilgala.

²And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said unto him, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel.

²In Elija veli Elizeju: Ostani tukaj, prosim; zakaj GOSPOD me je poslal tja do Betela. A Elizej reče: Kakor res živi GOSPOD in kakor živi tvoja duša, jaz te ne zapustim. Gresta torej doli v Betel.

³And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.

³In proroški sinovi, ki so bili v Betelu, pridejo ven k Elizeju in mu reko: Veš li pa, da vzame danes GOSPOD tvojega učenika od tebe? On reče: Saj jaz vem, le molčite!

⁴And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.

⁴In Elija mu veli: Elizej, prosim, ostani tukaj; zakaj GOSPOD me je poslal v Jeriho. On reče: Kakor res živi GOSPOD in kakor živi duša tvoja, jaz te ne zapustim. In prideta v Jeriho.

⁵And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.

⁵In proroški sinovi, ki so bili v Jerihu, pristopijo k Elizeju in mu reko: Veš li pa, da vzame danes GOSPOD tvojega učenika od tebe? In odgovori: Saj jaz vem, le molčite!

⁶And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the LORD hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on.

⁶In Elija mu veli: Ostani, prosim, tukaj; zakaj GOSPOD me je poslal k Jordanu. On reče: Kakor res živi GOSPOD in kakor živi duša tvoja, jaz te ne zapustim. In gresta obadva naprej.

⁷And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan.

⁷A petdeset mož izmed proroških sinov je šlo, in postavijo se v nekoliki daljavi nasproti njima; onadva pa sta stala pri Jordanu.

⁸And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground.

⁸Tedaj vzame Elija svoj plašč ter ga zvije skup in udari ž njim ob vodo, in se razdeli na obe strani, in onadva preideta po suhem.

⁹And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.

⁹In ko sta šla na drugo stran, reče Elija Elizeju: Prosi, kaj naj ti storim, preden bodem vzet od tebe! In Elizej reče: Prosim, da dobim dvojen delež od tvojega duha!

¹⁰And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.

¹⁰Odgovori: Težke reči si prosil; če me boš videl, kadar bom vzet od tebe, se ti zgodi; ako pa ne, ne bode tega.

¹¹And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

¹¹In ko gresta še skupaj in se pogovarjata, glej, ognjen voz in ognjeni konji, ki ju ločijo narazen. In Elija je šel v viharju gori v nebesa.

¹²And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.

¹²In Elizej je videl to in je klical: Oče moj, oče moj! Vozovi Izraelovi in jezdeci njegovi! In ni ga videl več. Tedaj prime oblačila svoja ter jih raztrga na dva kosa.

¹³He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;

¹³In vzdigne plašč Elijev, ki mu je spadel, in se vrne ter stopi na breg Jordana.

¹⁴And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.

¹⁴In vzame plašč Elijev, ki mu je spadel, in udari vodo in reče: Kje je Jehova, Bog Elijev? In ko je tudi udaril vodo, se razdeli na obe strani, in Elizej preide.

¹⁵And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.

¹⁵In ko ga vidijo proroški sinovi, ki so stali pri Jerihu njemu nasproti, reko: Duh Elijev počiva nad Elizejem. In pridejo mu naproti in se mu poklonijo do tal.

¹⁶And they said unto him, Behold now, there be with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master: lest peradventure the Spirit of the LORD hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send.

¹⁶In mu reko: Glej, med nami, hlapci tvojimi, je petdeset močnih mož; naj gredo, prosimo, in iščejo učenika tvojega! Morda ga je duh GOSPODOV vzel in vrgel kje na goro ali v dolino. On pa veli: Nikar ne pošiljajte!

¹⁷And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not.

¹⁷Ali oni so silili vanj, da ga je bilo sram. In reče: Naj gredo! Pošljejo torej petdeset mož; ti ga iščejo tri dni, a ga ne najdejo.

¹⁸And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho,) he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not?

¹⁸In ko se vrnejo k njemu (stanoval je pa v Jerihu), jim reče: Nisem vam li rekel, da ne hodite?

¹⁹And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren.

¹⁹In možje iz mesta reko Elizeju: Glej, prosimo, v tem mestu je dobro prebivati, kakor vidi gospod moj, ali voda je nezdrava in zemlja nerodovitna.

²⁰And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.

²⁰On veli: Prinesite mi novo čašo in denite soli vanjo! In mu prineso.

²¹And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land.

²¹On pa gre ven k studencu in vrže vanj soli in reče: Tako pravi GOSPOD: Ozdravil sem to vodo, odslej ne bo iz nje več smrti ali nerodovitnosti.

²²So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake.

²²In voda je bila zdrava do tega dne po besedi Elizeja, ki jo je bil govoril.

²³And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.

²³In šel je odondod gori v Betel. Ko pa gre gori po poti, pridejo mali dečki iz mesta in ga zasmehujejo in mu govore: Plešivec, pridi gori! Plešivec, pridi gori!

²⁴And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

²⁴In se ozre, in ko jih vidi, jih prekolne v imenu GOSPODOVEM. In prideta dve medvedki iz gozda in raztrgata izmed njih dvainštirideset otrok.In šel je odtod na goro Karmel in odondod se je vrnil v Samarijo.

²⁵And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.

²⁵In šel je odtod na goro Karmel in odondod se je vrnil v Samarijo.
