2 Kings

2

1It happened, when Yahweh would take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
1Quicuulac xkßehil nak laj Elías tâcßamekß saß choxa xban li Dios saß li ikß li naxsuti rib. Laj Elías rochben laj Eliseo queßel chak saß li tenamit Gilgal.
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.
2Laj Elías quixye re laj Eliseo: —Canâkat cuan arin lâat, xban nak li Kâcuaß Dios xinixtakla Bet-el, chan. Abanan laj Eliseo quixye: —Saß xcßabaß li Kâcuaß Dios ut saß âcßabaß lâat, lâin ninye âcue nak incßaß tatincanab âjunes, chan. Ut queßcôeb xcaßbichaleb Bet-el.
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.”
3Eb li profeta li cuanqueb Bet-el queßcôeb chixcßulbal laj Eliseo ut queßxye re: —¿Ma nacanau nak anakcuan li Kâcuaß târisi châcuu laj Elías laj tzolol âcue? chanqueb. Laj Eliseo quixye reheb: —Ninnau. Abanan canabomak âtinac, chan.
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.
4Ut laj Elías quixye cuißchic re laj Eliseo: —Canâkat cuan arin. Lâin tento nak tinxic Jericó xban nak li Kâcuaß xinixtakla aran, chan. Laj Eliseo quixye re: —Saß xcßabaß li Kâcuaß ut saß âcßabaß ajcuiß lâat, lâin ninye âcue nak incßaß tatincanab âjunes, chan. Ut queßcôeb Jericó xcaßbichaleb.
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.”
5Eb li profeta li cuanqueb Jericó queßel chak chixcßulbal laj Eliseo ut queßxye re: —¿Ma nacanau nak chiru li cutan aßin li Kâcuaß târisi châcuu laj tzolol âcue? chanqueb. Ut laj Eliseo quixye reheb: —Ninnau, abanan canabomak âtinac, chan.
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.
6Mokon chic laj Elías quixye re laj Eliseo: —Anakcuan tatcanâk arin. Li Kâcuaß xinixtakla saß li nimaß Jordán, chan. Ut laj Eliseo quixye re: —Saß xcßabaß li Kâcuaß ut saß âcßabaß ajcuiß lâat, lâin ninye âcue nak incßaß tatincanab âjunes, chan. Ut queßcôeb cuißchic xcaßbichaleb toj saß li nimaß Jordán.
7Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both stood by the Jordan.
7Lajêb roxcßâl li profeta queßcôeb chirixeb toj saß li nimaß Jordán. Laj Elías ut laj Eliseo queßxakli chire li nimaß ut eb li profeta queßxakli ajcuiß nachß chiruheb.
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.
8Ut laj Elías quirisi li tßicr li cuan chirix. Quixbas ru ut chiru aßan quixsacß li haß. Ut li nimaß quixjach rib. Laj Elías ut laj Eliseo queßnumeß junpacßal li nimaß ut chaki li chßochß li queßnumeß cuiß.
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.”
9Nak cuanqueb jun pacßal li nimaß Jordán, laj Elías quixye re laj Eliseo: —Ye cue cßaßru tâcuaj tinqßue âcue nak toj mâjiß nincßameß xban li Kâcuaß, chan. Ut laj Eliseo quixye re: —Chiqßuehekß taxak cue lâ cuanquilal. Nacuaj raj xcßulbal cuib sut li cuanquilal li cuan âcuiqßuin, chan. Ut laj Elías quixye re:
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.”
10—Chßaßaj xsumenquil xqßuebal li cßaßru xatzßâma. Abanan cui lâat târûk tâcuil nak tincßamekß tâcßul li cßaßru xatzßâma. Cui ut incßaß târûk tâcuil, incßaß ajcuiß tâcßul li cßaßru xatzßâma, chan.
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.
11Yôqueb chi xic ut yôqueb chi âtinac chi ribileb rib. Saß junpât quichal jun li carruaje chanchan xam ut quelonbil xbaneb li cacuây chanchaneb xam. Li carruaje quinumeß saß xyiheb ut laj Elías quicßameß saß choxa saß jun li ikß yô chixsutinquil rib.
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.
12Laj Eliseo quiril li quicßulman ut quixjap re chi cau ut quixye: —At inyucuaß, at inyucuaß, at Elías, lâat chanchanat li kayucuaß, lâo aj Israel, chan. Ut incßaß chic quiril ru laj Elías. Xban xrahil xchßôl laj Eliseo quixchap li rakß li cuan chirix ut quixpej. Cuib jachal qui-el.
13He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of the Jordan.
13Chirix aßan quixxoc lix tßicr laj Elías li quitßaneß chiru ut cô cuißchic chire li nimaß Jordán.
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.
14Quixsacß li haß riqßuin lix tßicr laj Elías ut quixye: —¿Bar cuan li Kâcuaß lix Dios laj Elías? chan. Nak ac xsacß li haß riqßuin lix tßicr laj Elías, li haß quixjach rib ut laj Eliseo quinumeß jun pacßal li nimaß.
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.
15Nak qui-ileß xbaneb li profeta li cuanqueb jun pacßal li nimaß saß li tenamit Jericó, eb aßan queßxye: —Li cuanquilal li quiqßueheß re laj Elías xqßueheß re laj Eliseo, chanqueb. Queßcôeb chixcßulbal laj Eliseo ut queßxcuikßib ribeb chiru.
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.”
16Queßxye re: —Lâo cuanco lajêb roxcßâl ut cau kib. Lâo toxic chixsicßbal li profeta Elías, laj tzolol âcue. Mâre quicßameß xban lix musikß li Kâcuaß, ut mâre quitzßekeß toj saß junak tzûl malaj ut saß junak ru takßa, chanqueb. Abanan laj Eliseo quixye reheb: —Mâ ani tâxic, chan.
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.
17Queßxpuersi laj Eliseo toj retal quixcanabeb chi xic chixsicßbal li profeta Elías. Eb li lajêb roxcßâl chi profeta queßcôeb chixsicßbal. Oxib cutan queßxsicß, abanan mâ bar queßxtau.
18They came back to him, while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you, ‘Don’t go?’”
18Eb aßan queßsukßi cuißchic Jericó riqßuin laj Eliseo. Ut laj Eliseo quixye reheb: —Lâin xinye êre nak incßaß texxic, chan.
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.”
19Eb li cuanqueb saß li tenamit Jericó queßxye re laj Eliseo: —At xprofeta li Dios, li katenamit châbil joß yôcat chirilbal. Caßaj cuiß li haß incßaß us. Ut incßaß na-el li acuîmk saß li chßochß aßin, chanqueb.
20He said, “Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it.” They brought it to him.
20Li profeta Eliseo quixye reheb: —Qßuehomak li atzßam saß junak secß toj acß ut cßamomak chak cue, chan. Ut queßxbânu joß quiyeheß reheb.
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.’”
21Nak queßxqßue li secß re, laj Eliseo quixcßam cuan cuiß li yußam haß. Quixcut li atzßam saß li haß ut quixye: —Li Kâcuaß Dios quixye chi joßcaßin, “Lâin xinban li haß aßin. Mâcßaß chic xyajel. Incßaß chic teßcâmk li teßucßak re li haß aßin, ut eb li yaj aj ixk teßyoßlâk chic lix cßulaßaleb,” chan.—
22So the waters were healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.
22Ut chalen anakcuan li haß aßan châbil chic joß quixye li profeta Eliseo.
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!”
23Chirix aßan laj Eliseo qui-el Jericó ut cô toj Bet-el Ut nak yô chi xic, eb li sâj al queßel saß li tenamit ut queßxhob li profeta Eliseo ut queßxye: —Ayu lâat, at tßuruß saß âjolom, ayu lâat at tßuruß saß âjolom, chanqueb.
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.
24Li profeta Eliseo quixsukßisi rib ut quirileb. Ut saß xcßabaß li Kâcuaß Dios quixtzßâma mâusilal saß xbêneb. Ut cuib li joskß aj xul oso xcßabaß queßel saß li qßuicheß ut queßxcamsiheb cuib roxcßâl li sâj al. Pedasinbil queßxbânu reheb.Ut li profeta Eliseo cô saß li tzûl Carmelo ut chirix aßan quisukßi cuißchic Samaria.
25He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
25Ut li profeta Eliseo cô saß li tzûl Carmelo ut chirix aßan quisukßi cuißchic Samaria.
