World English 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。
1When the LORD was about to take Elijah up by a whirlwind into heaven, Elijah went with Elisha 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 。
2Elijah said to Elisha, “Please wait here, for the LORD has sent me as far as Bethel.” Elisha said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, 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。」
3The sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, “Do you know that the LORD will take away your master from over you today?” He said, “Yes, I know it. Hold your peace.”
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 。
4Elijah said to him, “Elisha, please wait here, for the LORD has sent me to Jericho.” He said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” So they came 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。」
5The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came near to Elisha, and said to him, “Do you know that the LORD will take away your master from over you today?” He answered, “Yes, I know it. Hold your peace.”
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。
6Elijah said to him, “Please wait here, for the LORD has sent me to the Jordan.” He said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” Then they both 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。
7Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both 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。
8Elijah took his mantle, and rolled it up, and struck the waters; and they were divided here and there, so that they both went 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。」
9When they had gone over, 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.”
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。」
10He said, “You have asked a hard thing. If you see me when I am taken from you, it will be so for you; but if not, 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 continued on and talked, behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
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。
12Elisha saw it, and he cried, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” He saw him no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces.
13他拾起 以利亞 身上掉下來的外衣，回去站在 約旦河 邊。
13He also took up Elijah’s mantle that fell from him, and went back and stood by 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。
14He took Elijah’s mantle that fell from him, and struck the waters, and said, “Where is the LORD, the God of Elijah?” When he also had struck the waters, they were divided apart, and Elisha went 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 at Jericho facing 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.
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。」
16They said to him, “See now, there are with your servants fifty strong men. Please let them go and seek your master. Perhaps the LORD’s Spirit has taken him up, and put him on some mountain or into some valley.” He said, “Don’t send them.”
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。
17When they urged him until he was ashamed, he said, “Send them.” Therefore they sent fifty men; and they searched for three days, but didn’t find him.
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？」
18They came back to him while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you, ‘Don’t 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。」
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 is barren.”
20以利沙 說：「你們拿一個新瓶來，裝鹽給我」；他們就拿來給他。
20He said, “Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it.” Then 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。』」
21He went out to the spring of the waters, and threw salt into it, and said, “The LORD says, ‘I have healed these waters. There shall not be from there any more death or barren wasteland.’”
22於是那水治好了，直到今日，正如 以利沙 所說的。
22So the waters were healed to this day, according to Elisha’s word which he spoke.
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！」
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 baldy!”
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。
24He looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the LORD’s name. Then two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of those youths.
25以利沙 從 伯特利 上 迦密山 ，又從 迦密山 回到 撒馬利亞 。
25He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
