1It happened, when Yahweh would take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
1 A ciya mo, alwaato kaŋ Rabbi ga Iliya sambu ka kond'a beene alma haw ra, kala Iliya tun Jilgal ra ka koy, nga nda Iliyasu nga banda Jilgal ra.
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.
2 Iliya ci Iliyasu se ka ne: «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ni ma hangan ay se neewo, zama Rabbi n'ay donton hala Betel.» Iliyasu ne: «Ay ze da Rabbi fundikoono, da ni fundo mo, ay si fay da nin.» I koy Betel mo.
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.”
3 Kala annabey izey kaŋ yaŋ go Betel ra fatta zama ngey ma Iliyasu kubay. I ne a se: «Ni mana bay kaŋ Rabbi ga ba ka ni windi koyo sambu ni jine hunkuna, wala?» A ne: «Oho, ay bay. Wa dangay.»
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.
4 Iliya mo ne a se: «Iliyasu, ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ni ma hangan neewo, zama Rabbi n'ay donton ya koy Yeriko.» Nga mo ne: «Ay ze da Rabbi fundikoono, da ni fundo mo, ay si fay da nin.» I kaa Yeriko.
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.”
5 Kala annabey izey kaŋ yaŋ go Yeriko maan ka kaa Iliyasu do. I ne a se: «Ni mana bay kaŋ Rabbi ga ba ka ni windi koyo sambu ni jine hunkuna, wala?» A ne: «Oho, ay bay. Wa dangay.»
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.
6 Kala Iliya ne a se: «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ni ma hangan ay se neewo, zama Rabbi n'ay donton ya koy Urdun* isa me.» A ne a se: «Ay ze da Rabbi fundikoono, da ni fundo mo, ay si fay da nin.» Ngey boro hinka binde koy jina.
7Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both stood by the Jordan.
7 Kala annabey izey ra boro waygu go, i koy ka kay ka mo ye i do haray, amma i kay nangu mooro. Ngey boro hinka mo koy ka kay Urdun meyo gaa.
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.
8 Iliya na nga daabiro sambu, a n'a didiji, a na haro kar d'a. Haro fay ihinka ne nda yongo hala ngey boro hinka na laabu kogo taamu ka bisa.
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.”
9 A ciya mo, alwaato kaŋ i bisa, kala Iliya ne Iliyasu se: «Ni ma ŋwaaray haŋ kaŋ ni ga ba ya te ni se, hal ay ga fay da nin.» Iliyasu ne: «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma yadda ni biya ma goro ay banda hala labu-care hinka.»
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 Iliya ne a se: «Ni na hari gaabo ŋwaaray. Amma kulu nda yaadin, da ni di ay alwaato kaŋ i n'ay sambu ni do, a ga ciya ni se yaadin, amma da manti yaadin no, a si te ni se.»
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.
11 A ciya mo, alwaato kaŋ i go dirawo ra, i go ga salaŋ, kala danji torko go, da danji bariyaŋ, kaŋ yaŋ n'i fay care. Iliya mo ziji alma haw ra ka koy beene.
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.
12 Iliyasu di a. A soobay ka ce ka ne: «Ay baaba, ay baaba! Israyla torko nda nga kaarukoy mo!» A mana ye ka di Iliya koyne. Kal a na nga bankaara di k'a tooru ka te toorimi hinka.
13He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of the Jordan.
13 A na Iliya daabiro kaŋ fun a do ka kaŋ din sambu ka ye ka kay Urdun meyo gaa.
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.
14 A na Iliya daabiro kaŋ fun a do ka kaŋ din sambu, a na haro kar. A ne: «Man Rabbi Irikoy, Iliya wano?» Alwaato kaŋ a na haro kar, kala haro fay ne da yongo. Iliyasu mo bisa.
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.
15 Sahãadin annabey izey kaŋ yaŋ go Yeriko jine di a. I ne: «Iliya biya goro Iliyasu boŋ.» I kaa k'a kubay; i sombu a jine kala ganda.
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.”
16 I ne a se: «Sohõ ni di boro gaabikooni waygu neeya ni bannyey banda. Iri ga ni ŋwaaray, ni ma naŋ i ma koy ka ni windikoyo ceeci. A ma si ciya hambara Rabbi Biya ma kond'a beene, a m'a catu tondi fo boŋ wala gooru fo ra.» Iliyasu ne: «Araŋ ma si donton.»
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.
17 Alwaato kaŋ i hin a, hala haawi n'a di, a ne: «To, wa donton!» I na boro waygo donton mo, i soobay ka ceeci kala jirbi hinza. I mana di a mo.
18They came back to him, while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you, ‘Don’t go?’”
18 Kal i ye ka kaa a do, naŋ kaŋ a go g'i batu Yeriko ra. A ne i se: «Yana ci araŋ se ka ne araŋ ma si koy?»
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.”
19 Kwaara borey ne Iliyasu se: «Guna, iri ga ni ŋwaaray, kwaaro wo, a gora ga kaan, mate kaŋ cine iri jine bora go ga di a, amma haro si boori, laabo mo ga nga izey zama.»
20He said, “Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it.” They brought it to him.
20 Iliyasu ne: «Wa kand'ay se sintili taji. Wa ciiri daŋ a ra.» I kand'a se.
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.’”
21 Kal a fatta ka koy noodin gooru hari-mwa do. A na ciiro dooru a ra ka ne: «Rabbi ne: Ay na harey wo yayandi. Ne jine i si filla ka bu koyne, tuurey mo si ngey izey zama.»
22So the waters were healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.
22 Yaadin mo no harey ciya baani d'a hala ka kaa hunkuna, Iliyasu sanno kaŋ a ci boŋ.
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!”
23 Noodin a ziji ka koy Betel. A go tudo boŋ ga ziji kala arwasuyaŋ fatta ka fun kwaara ra k'a hahaara. I ne a se: «Koy ka ziji, nin, boŋ-buulalkoyo! Koy ka ziji, buulalkoyo!»
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.
24 Kal a zagu k'i guna. A n'i laali Rabbi maa ra. Kala urs* hinka fatta saaji kurmu ra ka i ra arwasu waytaaci cindi hinka tooru-tooru.
25He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
25 Iliyasu gana noodin ka koy Karmel tondo do, a fun noodin mo ka ye Samariya.
