¹Kui Issand tahtis viia Eelijat tuulepöörises taevasse, olid Eelija ja Eliisa parajasti lahkumas Gilgalist.

¹It happened, when Yahweh would take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.

²Ja Eelija ütles Eliisale: 'Jää ometi siia, sest Issand on mind läkitanud Peetelisse!' Aga Eliisa vastas: 'Nii tõesti kui Issand elab, ja nii tõesti kui su hing elab, ma ei jäta sind maha.' Ja nad läksid alla Peetelisse.

²Elijah said to Elisha, “Please wait here, for Yahweh has sent me as far as Bethel.” Elisha said, “As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel.

³Ja prohvetijüngrid, kes olid Peetelis, tulid välja Eliisa juurde ja küsisid temalt: 'Kas sa tead, et Issand võtab täna ära su isanda su pea kohal?' Ja ta vastas: 'Küllap minagi tean. Olge vait!'

³The sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, “Do you know that Yahweh will take away your master from your head today?” He said, “Yes, I know it; hold your peace.”

⁴Ja Eelija ütles temale: 'Eliisa, jää ometi siia, sest Issand on mind läkitanud Jeerikosse!' Aga tema vastas: 'Nii tõesti kui Issand elab, ja nii tõesti kui su hing elab, ma ei jäta sind maha.' Ja nad tulid Jeerikosse.

⁴Elijah said to him, “Elisha, please wait here, for Yahweh has sent me to Jericho.” He said, “As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” So they came to Jericho.

⁵Ja prohvetijüngrid, kes olid Jeerikos, astusid Eliisa juurde ja küsisid temalt: 'Kas sa tead, et Issand võtab täna ära su isanda su pea kohal?' Ja ta vastas: 'Küllap minagi tean. Olge vait!'

⁵The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came near to Elisha, and said to him, “Do you know that Yahweh will take away your master from your head today?” He answered, “Yes, I know it. Hold your peace.”

⁶Ja Eelija ütles temale: 'Jää ometi siia, sest Issand on mind läkitanud Jordani äärde!' Aga ta vastas: 'Nii tõesti kui Issand elab, ja nii tõesti kui su hing elab, ma ei jäta sind maha.' Ja nad mõlemad läksid.

⁶Elijah said to him, “Please wait here, for Yahweh has sent me to the Jordan.” He said, “As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” They both went on.

⁷Aga ka viiskümmend meest prohvetijüngritest läks ja jäi eemale seisma, kui need kaks peatusid Jordani ääres.

⁷Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both stood by the Jordan.

⁸Eelija võttis nüüd oma kuue, rullis selle kokku ja lõi sellega vett: see lahknes siia- ja sinnapoole, ja nad mõlemad läksid üle kuiva mööda.

⁸Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that they two went over on dry ground.

⁹Ja kui nad olid üle jõudnud, siis ütles Eelija Eliisale: 'Palu, mis ma peaksin tegema sinu heaks, enne kui mind ära võetakse sinu juurest!' Ja Eliisa ütles: 'Tuleks mulle ometi kahekordne osa sinu vaimust!'

⁹It 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.”

¹⁰Ta vastas: 'Sa oled palunud rasket asja. Ometi, kui sa näed mind su juurest ära võetavat, siis sünnib sulle nõnda; aga kui mitte, siis ei sünni.'

¹⁰He 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.”

¹¹Ja kui nad nõnda ühtejärge läksid ja rääkisid, vaata, siis sündis, et tulised vankrid ja tulised hobused lahutasid nad teineteisest ja Eelija läks tuulepöörises taevasse.

¹¹It happened, as they still went on, and talked, that behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

¹²Kui Eliisa seda nägi, siis ta hüüdis: 'Mu isa, mu isa! Iisraeli sõjavankrid ja tema ratsanikud!' Seejärel ei näinud ta teda enam. Siis ta haaras kinni oma riideist ja käristas need lõhki kaheks tükiks.

¹²Elisha 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.

¹³Ta tõstis siis üles Eelija kuue, mis tollel oli seljast maha langenud, ja läks tagasi ning peatus Jordani kaldal.

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

¹⁴Siis ta võttis Eelija mahalangenud kuue ja lõi vett ning ütles: 'Kus on Issand, Eelija Jumal?' Kui ta oli vett löönud, siis lahknes see siia- ja sinnapoole ja Eliisa läks üle.

¹⁴He took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and struck the waters, and said, “Where is Yahweh, the God of Elijah?” When he also had struck the waters, they were divided here and there; and Elisha went over.

¹⁵Kui prohvetijüngrid, kes olid Jeerikos, nägid seda vastaskaldalt, siis nad ütlesid: 'Eelija vaim hingab Eliisa peal.' Ja nad tulid temale vastu ning kummardasid teda maani.

¹⁵When 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.

¹⁶Ja nad ütlesid temale: 'Vaata ometi, su sulaseid on viiskümmend meest, vahvad mehed; nad võiksid ju minna ja otsida su isandat, sest vahest on Issanda Vaim ta ära viinud ja heitnud mõne mäe peale või mõnda orgu?' Aga ta vastas: 'Ärge läkitage kedagi!'

¹⁶They 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 Yahweh has taken him up, and put him on some mountain, or into some valley. He said, “You shall not send them.”

¹⁷Kuid nad käisid temale peale kuni piinlikkuseni, nõnda et ta ütles: 'Läkitage siis!' Siis nad läkitasid viiskümmend meest ja need otsisid kolm päeva, aga ei leidnud Eelijat.

¹⁷When they urged him until he was ashamed, he said, “Send them.” They sent therefore fifty men; and they searched for three days, but didn’t find him.

¹⁸Kui nad tulid tagasi tema juurde, kuna tema oli jäänud Jeerikosse, siis ta ütles neile: 'Eks ma öelnud teile, et ärge minge!'

¹⁸They came back to him, while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you, ‘Don’t go?’”

¹⁹Ja linna mehed ütlesid Eliisale: 'Vaata nüüd, linna asupaik on hea, nagu mu isand näeb, aga vesi on paha ja maal on nurisünnitusi.'

¹⁹The 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 miscarries.”

²⁰Ja tema ütles: 'Tooge mulle üks uus kauss ja pange sellesse soola!' Ja nad tõid temale.

²⁰He said, “Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it.” They brought it to him.

²¹Siis ta läks välja veeallikale ja viskas sinna sisse soola ning ütles: 'Nõnda ütleb Issand: Mina olen selle vee parandanud, sellest ei tule enam surma ega nurisünnitusi.'

²¹He went out to the spring of the waters, and threw salt into it, and said, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘I have healed these waters. There shall not be from there any more death or miscarrying.’”

²²Ja vesi muutus heaks Eliisa sõna kohaselt, mis ta ütles, ja on seda tänapäevani.

²²So the waters were healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.

²³Sealt läks ta üles Peetelisse; ja kui ta oli teel üles, siis tulid väikesed poisid linnast välja ja pilkasid teda ning ütlesid temale: 'Tule üles, kiilaspea! Tule üles, kiilaspea!'

²³He 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!”

²⁴Kui ta pöördus ja nägi neid, siis ta needis neid Issanda nimel. Ja metsast tulid kaks karu ja kiskusid neist lõhki nelikümmend kaks poissi.

²⁴He looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the name of Yahweh. Two female bears came out of the woods, and mauled forty-two of those youths.

²⁵Tema aga läks sealt Karmeli mäele ja pöördus siis tagasi Samaariasse.

²⁵He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
