1It happened, when Yahweh would take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
1Evo što se dogodilo kad je Jahve uznio Iliju na nebo u vihoru: Ilija i Elizej pošli iz Gilgala.
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.
2I reče Ilija Elizeju: "Ostani ovdje jer me Jahve šalje do Betela." Elizej odgovori: "Života mi Jahvina i tvoga: ja te neću ostaviti!" I siđoše do Betela.
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.”
3A proročki sinovi koji su boravili u Betelu iziđoše Elizeju u susret i rekoše mu: "Znaš li da će danas Jahve uzeti tvoga gospodara iznad tvoje glave?" On reče: "I ja to znam; tiho!"
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.
4Ilija mu reče: "Elizeju! Ostani ipak ovdje jer me Jahve šalje do Jerihona." Ali on odgovori: "Života mi Jahvina i tvoga: ja te neću ostaviti!" I uđoše u Jerihon.
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.”
5Proročki sinovi koji su živjeli u Jerihonu priđoše Elizeju i rekoše mu: "Znaš li da će danas Jahve uzeti tvoga gospodara iznad tvoje glave?" On reče: "I ja to znam; tiho!"
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.
6Ilija mu reče: "Ostani ipak ovdje jer me Jahve šalje do Jordana." Ali on odgovori: "Života mi Jahvina i tvoga: ja te neću ostaviti!" I tako pođoše obojica.
7Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both stood by the Jordan.
7I pedeset proročkih sinova pođe i zaustavi se podalje, dok su se njih dvojica zadržala na obali Jordana.
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.
8Tada Ilija uze svoj ogrtač, smota ga i udari njime po vodi, a voda se razdijeli na dvije strane. I obojica prijeđoše po suhu.
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.”
9A kad prijeđoše, Ilija će Elizeju: "Traži što da ti još učinim prije nego što budem uznesen ispred tebe!" A Elizej odgovori: "Neka mi u dio padne obilje tvoga duha!"
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.”
10Ilija odgovori: "Mnogo tražiš: ako me budeš vidio kad budem uznesen ispred tebe, bit će ti tako; ako pak ne budeš vidio, neće ti biti."
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.
11I dok su tako išli i razgovarali, gle: ognjena kola i ognjeni konji stadoše među njih i Ilija u vihoru uziđe na nebo.
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.
12Elizej je gledao i vikao: "Oče moj, oče moj! Kola Izraelova i konjanici njegovi!" I više ga nije vidio. Uze tada svoje haljine i razdera ih nadvoje.
13He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of the Jordan.
13I podiže Ilijin plašt, koji bijaše pao s njega, te se vrati i zaustavi se na obali Jordana.
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.
14Uze onda Ilijin plašt i udari po vodi govoreći: "Gdje je Jahve, Bog Ilijin?" I kad udari po vodi, ona se razdijeli na dvije strane i Elizej prijeđe.
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.
15Proročki su sinovi to sa strane vidjeli pa rekoše: "Duh je Ilijin počinuo na Elizeju!" I krenuše mu u susret, baciše se pred njim na zemlju
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.”
16i rekoše mu: "Evo ovdje s tvojim slugama pedeset junaka. Dopusti im da idu tražiti tvoga gospodara; možda ga je Duh Jahvin uzdigao i bacio na koju goru ili u kakvu dolinu." On im odgovori: "Ne šaljite nikoga."
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.
17Ali kako su oni svejednako navaljivali, reče im: "Pošaljite!" I poslaše pedesetoricu; tražili su ga tri dana, ali ga nisu našli.
18They came back to him, while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you, ‘Don’t go?’”
18Vratiše se Elizeju, koji je ostao u Jerihonu, i on im reče: "Nisam li vam rekao: 'Nemojte ići!'"
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.”
19Ljudi iz grada rekoše Elizeju: "Lijepo je u gradu, kako to može vidjeti i naš gospodar, ali je voda loša i zemlja neplodna."
20He said, “Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it.” They brought it to him.
20On reče: "Donesite mi novu zdjelu i metnite soli u nju!" I oni mu je donesoše.
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.’”
21On tada ode na izvor, baci u nj soli i reče: "Ovako govori Jahve: 'Ozdravljam ovu vodu. Neće od nje više biti ni smrti ni neplodnosti.'"
22So the waters were healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.
22I voda postade zdrava i takva je do današnjeg dana, po riječi koju je izrekao Elizej.
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!”
23Odatle je uzašao u Betel. Dok je išao putem, dječaci bijahu izišli iz grada i rugahu mu se govoreći: "Hodi, ćelo! Hodi, ćelo!"
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.
24On se obazre, pogleda ih i prokle ih u ime Jahvino. I odmah iziđoše dva medvjeda iz šume i rastrgaše četrdeset i dvoje djece.
25He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
25Odatle ode on na goru Karmel, a odande se vrati u Samariju.
