¹A stalo sa, keď už mal Hospodin vziať Eliáša vo víchrici hore do neba, že odišiel Eliáš s Elizeom z Gilgala.

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

²A Eliáš riekol Elizeovi: Zostaň tu, prosím, lebo Hospodin ma poslal až do Bét-ela. Ale Elizeus odpovedal: Ako že žije Hospodin, a jako žije tvoja duša, že ťa neopustím. A tak sišli dolu do Bét-ela.

²And Elijah said to Elisha, Abide here, I pray thee; for Jehovah has sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee! So they went down to Bethel.

³Vtedy vyšli synovia prorokov, ktorí boli v Bét-ele, k Elizeovi a povedali mu: Či vieš, že dnes vezme Hospodin tvojho pána zponad tvojej hlavy? A odpovedal: Viem i ja, mlčte!

³And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said to him, Dost thou know that Jehovah will take away thy master from over thy head to-day? And he said, I also know it: be silent!

⁴Potom mu riekol Eliáš: Elizee, zostaň tu, prosím, lebo Hospodin ma poslal do Jericha. Ale on povedal: Ako že žije Hospodin, a jako žije tvoja duša, že ťa neopustím. A tak prišli do Jericha.

⁴And Elijah said to him, Elisha, abide here, I pray thee; for Jehovah has sent me to Jericho. And he said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee! And they came to Jericho.

⁵A pristúpili synovia prorokov, ktorí boli v Jerichu, k Elizeovi a povedali mu: Či vieš, že dnes vezme Hospodin tvojho pána zponad tvojej hlavy? A odpovedal: Viem i ja, mlčte.

⁵And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho drew near to Elisha and said to him, Dost thou know that Jehovah will take away thy master from over thy head to-day? And he said, I also know it: be silent!

⁶Vtedy mu zase riekol Eliáš: Zostaň tu, prosím, lebo Hospodin ma poslal k Jordánu. Ale on povedal: Ako že žije Hospodin, a jako žije tvoja duša, že ťa neopustím. A tak išli obidvaja spolu.

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

⁷A išli aj päťdesiati mužovia zo synov prorokov a postavili sa naproti zďaleka, a oni dvaja stáli pri Jordáne.

⁷And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite afar off; and they two stood by the Jordan.

⁸A Eliáš vezmúc svoj plášť svinul ho a uderil vodu, ktorá sa rozdelila sem i ta, a prešli obaja po suchu.

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

⁹A stalo sa, keď prešli, že Eliáš riekol Elizeovi: Žiadaj, čo ti mám učiniť, prv ako budem vzatý od teba. A Elizeus povedal: Nech je, prosím, dvojnásobný diel tvojho ducha na mne.

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

¹⁰Na to mu riekol: Ťažkú vec si žiadal; ale ak ma uvidíš, keď budem vzatý od teba, nech ti je tak, a jestli nie, nebude.

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

¹¹A stalo sa, jako tak išli pozvoľna a shovárali sa, že hľa, ohnivý voz a ohnivé kone ich oddelily jedného od druhého, a tak vystúpil Eliáš vo víchrici hore do neba.

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

¹²A Elizeus to videl a hľadiac na to kričal: Môj otče, môj otče! Vozy Izraelove a jeho jazdcovia! A viacej ho nevidel. A pochytiac svoje rúcho roztrhnul ho na dva kusy.

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. Then he took hold of his own garments and rent them in two pieces.

¹³Potom zdvihol plášť Eliášov, ktorý bol spadol s neho a vrátiac sa zastál na brehu Jordána.

¹³And he took up the mantle of Elijah which fell from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan;

¹⁴A vzal plášť Eliášov, ktorý spadol s neho, uderil vodu a riekol: Kdeže je Hospodin, Bôh Eliášov? Áno, on! A vtedy uderil vodu, ktorá sa rozdelila sem i ta, a Elizeus prešiel.

¹⁴and he took the mantle of Elijah which had fallen from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is Jehovah, the God of Elijah? He also smote the waters, and they parted hither and thither, and Elisha went over.

¹⁵Keď ho potom uvideli synovia prorokov, ktorí boli v Jerichu, naproti, povedali: Duch Eliášov spočinul na Elizeovi, a prijdúc mu vústrety poklonili sa mu k zemi.

¹⁵And the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho on the opposite side saw him, and they said, The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him,

¹⁶A povedali mu: Hľa, prosíme, je medzi tvojimi služobníkmi päťdesiat mocných mužov; nech idú, prosíme, a hľadajú tvojho pána, aby ho snáď nebol nejako odniesol Duch Hospodinov a nepohodil ho na niektorom vrchu alebo na niektorej doline. A on povedal: Neposielajte!

¹⁶and said to him, Behold now, there are with thy servants fifty valiant men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master, lest perhaps the Spirit of Jehovah have taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some ravine. And he said, Ye shall not send.

¹⁷Ale keď len dlho dobíjali do neho, riekol: Pošlite. A tak poslali päťdesiatich mužov, ktorí hľadali tri dni, ale pravda ho nenašli.

¹⁷And they pressed him till he was ashamed, and he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men, and they sought three days, but did not find him.

¹⁸A keď sa navrátili k nemu, keďže býval v Jerichu, riekol im: Či som vám nepovedal: Nechoďte!?

¹⁸And they came again to him (now he was staying at Jericho); and he said to them, Did I not say to you, Go not?

¹⁹A mužovia mesta povedali Elizeovi: Hľa, prosím, bývať v tomto meste je dobre, jako vidí môj pán, ale voda je zlá, a preto zem pustne sirobou.

¹⁹And the men of the city said to Elisha, Behold now, the situation of the city is good, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land is barren.

²⁰A riekol: Doneste mi novú šialku a dajte do nej soli. A doniesli mu.

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

²¹Vtedy vyšiel k prameňu vody a vysypúc do neho soľ povedal: Takto hovorí Hospodin: Uzdravujem túto vodu. Nebude viacej odtiaľ smrti ani siroby.

²¹And he went forth to the source of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith Jehovah: I have healed these waters: there shall not be from thence any more death or barrenness.

²²A voda je uzdravená až do tohoto dňa podľa slova Elizeovho, ktoré hovoril.

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

²³Potom odišiel odtiaľ hore do Bét-ela. A keď išiel hore cestou, vyšli malí chlapci z mesta, posmievali sa mu a povedali mu: Iď hore, plešivý! Iď hore, plešivý!

²³And he went up from thence to Bethel, and as he went up by the way, there came forth little boys out of the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, bald head; go up, bald head!

²⁴A on obzrúc sa nazpät a uvidiac ich zlorečil im v mene Hospodinovom. Na to vyšly dve medvedice z lesa a roztrhaly z nich štyridsaťdva detí.

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

²⁵A odišiel odtiaľ na vrch Karmel a zase odtiaľ sa navrátil do Samárie.

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