1It happened, when Yahweh would take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
1Huan, Toupa'n Elija pingpeia vana a pi touh sinlai khawngin, hichi ahi a, Elija bel Elisa toh Gilgal akipanin a pawt ua.
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.
2Huan, Elijain Elisa kiangah, hiai ah na om dih; Toupa'n Bethel tan pai dingin a hon sawl ahi, achi a. Huan, Elisain, Toupa hina leh na hina lou in ka gen hi, kon no se kei hial ding, a chi a. Huchiin Bethel ah a pai suk khawm uh.
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.”
3Huan, Bethela om jawlneite tapate Elisa kiangah a hoh ua, a kiangah, Tunin Toupa'n na tunga heutu a hon lak mangsak sin chih na thei hia? a chi ua. Huan, aman, He, thei mah ing: dai mai un, a chi a.
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.
4Huan, Elijain a kiangah, Elisa, hiai ah na om dih; Toupa'n Jerikoa hoh dingin a hon sawl ahi, a chi a. Huan, aman, Toupa hina leh na hina louin ka gen ahi, ka hon no sekei hial ding, a chi a. Huchiin Jeriko ah a hoh khawm ta uhi.
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.”
5Huan, Jeriko-a om jawlneite tapaten Elisa a va naih ua, a kiangah, tunin Toupa'n na tunga heutu a hon lak mangsak sin chih na thei hia? a chi ua. Huan, aman a dawnga, He, thei mah ing; dai mai un, a chi a.
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.
6Huan, Elijain a kiangah, Hiaiah na om dih; Toupa'n Jordana hoh dingin a honchi ahi, a chi a. Huan, aman, Toupa hina leh na hina louin ka gen ahi, ka hon nosekei hial ding, a chi a. Huchiin a nih un a paikhawm uh.
7Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both stood by the Jordan.
7Huan, jawlneite tapate laka mi sawmnga a va hoh ua, amaute jawnah gamla kuam takah ava ding ua; huan, amau nihte bel Jordan ah a na ding uh.
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.
8Huan, Elijain a puan a la a, a lom jiala, tui a sata, langkhat langkhat ah a hong kikhenta a, huchiin a nih un lei gaw-ah a paita uhi.
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.”
9Huan, a galkah nung un hichi ahi a, Elija in Elisa kiangah, na kianga kipana lak manga ka om ma in bang ahia ka hon hihsak ding hon ngen in, a chi a. Huan, Elisa in na kha tan nih tang leng, a chi a.
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.”
10Huan, aman, thil haksa pi ngen neive; haksa mahleh na kianga kipana lak manga ka om lai na hon muhleh na tang ding, na hon muhkei leh bel na tang kei ding, a chi a.
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.
11Huan, a pai khawmkhawm ua, a houlim lai un hichi ahi a, ngaiin, mei kangtalai leh mei sakolte a hongkimu guih ua, a kikal ua kigolh in a kikhensakta a; huan, Elija bel pingpeiin vanah a paitou ta hi.
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.
12Huan, Elisain huai a mu a, Pa aw, Pa aw, Israelte kangtalai leh huai a sakol tuangte aw! chiin a kikou a. Huan, Elija a muta kei a; huchiin amah puan a lena, phel nih in a botkek a.
13He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of the Jordan.
13Elija puan hong kia leng a laa, a kik nawna, Jordan lui gei ah a ding hi.
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.
14Huan, Elija puan hong kia a laa, tui a sat a, Toupa, Elija pathian koi ah? a chi a. Huan, tui a hon sat lai a leh langkhat langkhatah a hongkikhentaa, Elisa a galkahta hi.
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.
15Huan, Jeriko khua a jawlneite tapa, amah jawna omten a muh un, Elija kha Elisa tungah a tu mah ve, a chi ua. Amah be dingin a kuan ua, ama ah lei siin chibai a buk uh.
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.”
16Huan, amau, a kiangah, ngai in, na sikhaten mi ngalhat pipi sawmnga ka ompih ua; na pu zong dingin sawl ve; Toupa kha in ala tou khat ahi dia, koilai tang ah hiam, koilai guam ah hiam a khia khat tou houh a himai deh, a chi ua. Huan, aman, kuan sak lou ding, a chi a.
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.
17Huan, amah dinga zumhuai khop a a nget nung un, kuansak ve ua, a chi khongkhong a. Huchiin mi sawmnga a sawl ua; ni thum a zong ua, himahleh a mu zou ta kei ua.
18They came back to him, while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you, ‘Don’t go?’”
18Huan, Jeriko khua a a ni tuan lai in a kiangah a hong nawn ua; aman a kiang uah, na kiang uah, kuansak kei un, ka hon chi a hikei maw? a chi a.
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.”
19Huan, huai khua a mite Elisa kiangah, en in hiai, hiai khomun a nuam mahmah a, ka pu un leng non muhpih hi; himahleh tui a hoihkei a, agam mah leng nausiat na gamahi, a chi ua.
20He said, “Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it.” They brought it to him.
20Huan, aman, tuithawl thak hon lak unla, chi thun dih uh, a chi a. Huchiin a hon laksak ua.
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.’”
21Huan, tuikhuk ah a va hoha, huai a theh luta, Toupa'n hichiin a chi, hiai tui ka limsakta, tuban siah sihna leh nau siat na a om nawn ta kei ding, chiin, a chi a.
22So the waters were healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.
22Huchiin Elisa gen bangin tu tanin huai tui alimta hi.
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!”
23Huan, huai a kipanin Bethel ah a hoh tou a; huan, huai lampi a apai lai in khua akipanin pasal naupang hon a hong pawt khia ua, a hong nuihsan ua, a kiangah, nang lu-giaupa, va hoh touin, nang lu-giaupa va hoh tou in, achi ua.
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.
24Huan, a nunglam a nga a, amau a mu a, Toupa minin a hamsiatta hi. Huan, gamnuai akipan vompi nih a hongpawt khia ua, a lak ua naupang sawmli leh nih a hongkei ua.Huan, huai a kipan Karmel tangah a hoha, huai akipan Samari khua ah a pai nawnta hi.
25He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
25Huan, huai a kipan Karmel tangah a hoha, huai akipan Samari khua ah a pai nawnta hi.
