Berean Standard Bible
1耶和華要用旋風接 以利亞 升天的時候， 以利亞 與 以利沙 從 吉甲 前往。
1Shortly before the LORD took Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal,
2以利亞 對 以利沙 說：「耶和華差我往 伯特利 去，你可以在這裏等候。」 以利沙 說：「我指着永生的耶和華，又敢在你面前起誓，我必不離開你。」於是二人下到 伯特利 。
2and Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me on to Bethel.” But Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel.
3住 伯特利 的先知門徒出來見 以利沙 ，對他說：「耶和華今日要接你的師傅離開你，你知道不知道？」他說：「我知道，你們不要作聲。」
3Then the sons of the prophets at Bethel came out to Elisha and said, “Do you know that the LORD will take your master away from you today?” “Yes, I know,” he replied. “Do not speak of it.”
4以利亞 對 以利沙 說：「耶和華差遣我往 耶利哥 去，你可以在這裏等候。」 以利沙 說：「我指着永生的耶和華，又敢在你面前起誓，我必不離開你。」於是二人到了 耶利哥 。
4And Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me on to Jericho.” But Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went to Jericho.
5住 耶利哥 的先知門徒就近 以利沙 ，對他說：「耶和華今日要接你的師傅離開你，你知道不知道？」他說：「我知道，你們不要作聲。」
5Then the sons of the prophets at Jericho came up to Elisha and said, “Do you know that the LORD will take your master away from you today?” “Yes, I know,” he replied. “Do not speak of it.”
6以利亞 對 以利沙 說：「耶和華差遣我往 約旦河 去，你可以在這裏等候。」 以利沙 說：「我指着永生的耶和華，又敢在你面前起誓，我必不離開你。」於是二人一同前往。
6And Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me on to the Jordan.” But Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them went on.
7有先知門徒去了五十人，遠遠地站在他們對面；二人在 約旦河 邊站住。
7Then a company of fifty of the sons of the prophets went and stood at a distance, facing Elijah and Elisha as the two of them stood by the Jordan.
8以利亞 將自己的外衣捲起來，用以打水，水就左右分開，二人走乾地而過。
8And Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up, and struck the waters, which parted to the right and to the left, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground.
9過去之後， 以利亞 對 以利沙 說：「我未曾被接去離開你，你要我為你做甚麼，只管求我。」 以利沙 說：「願 感動 你的靈加倍地感動我。」
9After they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken away from you?” “Please, let me inherit a double portion of your spirit,” Elisha replied.
10以利亞 說：「你所求的難得。 雖然如此 ，我被接去離開你的時候，你若看見我，就必得着；不然，必得不着了。」
10“You have requested a difficult thing,” said Elijah. “Nevertheless, if you see me as I am taken from you, it will be yours. But if not, then it will not be so.”
11他們正走着說話，忽有火車火馬將二人隔開， 以利亞 就乘旋風升天去了。
11As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire with horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up into heaven in a whirlwind.
12以利沙 看見，就呼叫說：「我父啊！我父啊！ 以色列 的戰車馬兵啊！」以後不再見他了。 於是 以利沙 把自己的衣服撕為兩片。
12As Elisha watched, he cried out, “My father, my father, the chariots and horsemen of Israel!” And he saw Elijah no more. So taking hold of his own clothes, he tore them in two.
13他拾起 以利亞 身上掉下來的外衣，回去站在 約旦河 邊。
13Elisha also picked up the cloak that had fallen from Elijah, and he went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan.
14他用 以利亞 身上掉下來的外衣打水，說：「耶和華－ 以利亞 的上帝在哪裏呢？」打水之後，水也左右分開， 以利沙 就過來了。
14Then he took the cloak of Elijah that had fallen from him and struck the waters. “Where now is the LORD, the God of Elijah?” he asked. And when he had struck the waters, they parted to the right and to the left, and Elisha crossed over.
15住 耶利哥 的先知門徒從對面看見他，就說：「 感動 以利亞 的靈感動 以利沙 了。」他們就來迎接他，在他面前俯伏於地，
15When the sons of the prophets who were facing him from Jericho saw what had happened, they said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.” And they went to meet him and bowed down to the ground before him.
16對他說：「僕人們這裏有五十個壯士，求你容他們去尋找你師傅，或者耶和華的靈將他提起來，投在某山某谷。」 以利沙 說：「你們不必打發人去。」
16“Look now,” they said to Elisha, “we your servants have fifty valiant men. Please let them go and search for your master. Perhaps the Spirit of the LORD has taken him up and put him on one of the mountains or in one of the valleys.” “Do not send them,” Elisha replied.
17他們再三催促他，他難以推辭，就說：「你們打發人去吧！」他們便打發五十人去，尋找了三天，也沒有找着。
17But when they pressed him to the point of embarrassment, he said, “Send them.” And they sent fifty men, who searched for three days but did not find Elijah.
18以利沙 仍然在 耶利哥 等候他們回到他那裏；他對他們說：「我豈沒有告訴你們不必去嗎？」
18When they returned to Elisha, who was staying in Jericho, he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you not to go?”
19耶利哥 城的人對 以利沙 說：「這城的地勢美好，我主看見了；只是水惡劣，土產不熟而落。」
19Then the men of the city said to Elisha, “Please note, our lord, that the city’s location is good, as you can see. But the water is bad and the land is unfruitful.”
20以利沙 說：「你們拿一個新瓶來，裝鹽給我」；他們就拿來給他。
20“Bring me a new bowl,” he replied, “and put some salt in it.” So they brought it to him,
21他出到水源，將鹽倒在水中，說：「耶和華如此說：『我治好了這水，從此必不再使人死，也不再使地土不生產。』」
21and Elisha went out to the spring, cast the salt into it, and said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘I have healed this water. No longer will it cause death or unfruitfulness.’”
22於是那水治好了，直到今日，正如 以利沙 所說的。
22And the waters there have been healthy to this day, according to the word spoken by Elisha.
23以利沙 從那裏上 伯特利 去，正上去的時候，有些童子從城裏出來，戲笑他說：「禿頭的上去吧！禿頭的上去吧！」
23From there, Elisha went up to Bethel, and as he was walking up the road, a group of boys came out of the city and jeered at him, chanting, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!”
24他回頭看見，就奉耶和華的名咒詛他們。於是有兩個母熊從林中出來，撕裂他們中間四十二個童子。
24Then he turned around, looked at them, and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Suddenly two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.
25以利沙 從 伯特利 上 迦密山 ，又從 迦密山 回到 撒馬利亞 。
25And Elisha went on to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
