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

¹ A ciya mo, alwaato kaŋ Rabbi ga Iliya sambu ka kond'a beene alma haw ra, kala Iliya tun Jilgal ra ka koy, nga nda Iliyasu nga banda Jilgal ra.

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.

² Iliya ci Iliyasu se ka ne: «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ni ma hangan ay se neewo, zama Rabbi n'ay donton hala Betel.» Iliyasu ne: «Ay ze da Rabbi fundikoono, da ni fundo mo, ay si fay da nin.» I koy Betel mo.

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.

³ Kala annabey izey kaŋ yaŋ go Betel ra fatta zama ngey ma Iliyasu kubay. I ne a se: «Ni mana bay kaŋ Rabbi ga ba ka ni windi koyo sambu ni jine hunkuna, wala?» A ne: «Oho, ay bay. Wa dangay.»

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.

⁴ Iliya mo ne a se: «Iliyasu, ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ni ma hangan neewo, zama Rabbi n'ay donton ya koy Yeriko.» Nga mo ne: «Ay ze da Rabbi fundikoono, da ni fundo mo, ay si fay da nin.» I kaa Yeriko.

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.

⁵ Kala annabey izey kaŋ yaŋ go Yeriko maan ka kaa Iliyasu do. I ne a se: «Ni mana bay kaŋ Rabbi ga ba ka ni windi koyo sambu ni jine hunkuna, wala?» A ne: «Oho, ay bay. Wa dangay.»

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.

⁶ Kala Iliya ne a se: «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ni ma hangan ay se neewo, zama Rabbi n'ay donton ya koy Urdun* isa me.» A ne a se: «Ay ze da Rabbi fundikoono, da ni fundo mo, ay si fay da nin.» Ngey boro hinka binde koy jina.

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

⁷ Kala annabey izey ra boro waygu go, i koy ka kay ka mo ye i do haray, amma i kay nangu mooro. Ngey boro hinka mo koy ka kay Urdun meyo gaa.

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.

⁸ Iliya na nga daabiro sambu, a n'a didiji, a na haro kar d'a. Haro fay ihinka ne nda yongo hala ngey boro hinka na laabu kogo taamu ka bisa.

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.

⁹ A ciya mo, alwaato kaŋ i bisa, kala Iliya ne Iliyasu se: «Ni ma ŋwaaray haŋ kaŋ ni ga ba ya te ni se, hal ay ga fay da nin.» Iliyasu ne: «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma yadda ni biya ma goro ay banda hala labu-care hinka.»

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.

¹⁰ Iliya ne a se: «Ni na hari gaabo ŋwaaray. Amma kulu nda yaadin, da ni di ay alwaato kaŋ i n'ay sambu ni do, a ga ciya ni se yaadin, amma da manti yaadin no, a si te ni se.»

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.

¹¹ A ciya mo, alwaato kaŋ i go dirawo ra, i go ga salaŋ, kala danji torko go, da danji bariyaŋ, kaŋ yaŋ n'i fay care. Iliya mo ziji alma haw ra ka koy beene.

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.

¹² Iliyasu di a. A soobay ka ce ka ne: «Ay baaba, ay baaba! Israyla torko nda nga kaarukoy mo!» A mana ye ka di Iliya koyne. Kal a na nga bankaara di k'a tooru ka te toorimi hinka.

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

¹³ A na Iliya daabiro kaŋ fun a do ka kaŋ din sambu ka ye ka kay Urdun meyo gaa.

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.

¹⁴ A na Iliya daabiro kaŋ fun a do ka kaŋ din sambu, a na haro kar. A ne: «Man Rabbi Irikoy, Iliya wano?» Alwaato kaŋ a na haro kar, kala haro fay ne da yongo. Iliyasu mo bisa.

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.

¹⁵ Sahãadin annabey izey kaŋ yaŋ go Yeriko jine di a. I ne: «Iliya biya goro Iliyasu boŋ.» I kaa k'a kubay; i sombu a jine kala ganda.

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.

¹⁶ I ne a se: «Sohõ ni di boro gaabikooni waygu neeya ni bannyey banda. Iri ga ni ŋwaaray, ni ma naŋ i ma koy ka ni windikoyo ceeci. A ma si ciya hambara Rabbi Biya ma kond'a beene, a m'a catu tondi fo boŋ wala gooru fo ra.» Iliyasu ne: «Araŋ ma si donton.»

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.

¹⁷ Alwaato kaŋ i hin a, hala haawi n'a di, a ne: «To, wa donton!» I na boro waygo donton mo, i soobay ka ceeci kala jirbi hinza. I mana di a mo.

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

¹⁸ Kal i ye ka kaa a do, naŋ kaŋ a go g'i batu Yeriko ra. A ne i se: «Yana ci araŋ se ka ne araŋ ma si koy?»

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.

¹⁹ Kwaara borey ne Iliyasu se: «Guna, iri ga ni ŋwaaray, kwaaro wo, a gora ga kaan, mate kaŋ cine iri jine bora go ga di a, amma haro si boori, laabo mo ga nga izey zama.»

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

²⁰ Iliyasu ne: «Wa kand'ay se sintili taji. Wa ciiri daŋ a ra.» I kand'a se.

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.

²¹ Kal a fatta ka koy noodin gooru hari-mwa do. A na ciiro dooru a ra ka ne: «Rabbi ne: Ay na harey wo yayandi. Ne jine i si filla ka bu koyne, tuurey mo si ngey izey zama.»

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

²² Yaadin mo no harey ciya baani d'a hala ka kaa hunkuna, Iliyasu sanno kaŋ a ci boŋ.

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.

²³ Noodin a ziji ka koy Betel. A go tudo boŋ ga ziji kala arwasuyaŋ fatta ka fun kwaara ra k'a hahaara. I ne a se: «Koy ka ziji, nin, boŋ-buulalkoyo! Koy ka ziji, buulalkoyo!»

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.

²⁴ Kal a zagu k'i guna. A n'i laali Rabbi maa ra. Kala urs* hinka fatta saaji kurmu ra ka i ra arwasu waytaaci cindi hinka tooru-tooru.

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

²⁵ Iliyasu gana noodin ka koy Karmel tondo do, a fun noodin mo ka ye Samariya.
