1ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἀνάγειν Κύριον ἐν συσσεισμῷ τὸν Ἠλιοὺ ὡς εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ἠλιοὺ καὶ Ἑλισαιὲ ἐκ Γαλγάλων.
1And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
2καὶ εἶπεν Ἠλιοὺ πρὸς Ἑλισαιέ· κάθου δὴ ἐνταῦθα, ὅτι Κύριος ἀπέσταλκέ με ἕως Βαιθήλ· καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιέ· ζῇ Κύριος καὶ ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου, εἰ ἐγκαταλείψω σε· καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Βαιθήλ.
2And Elijah said unto Elisha: 'Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me as far as Beth-el.' And Elisha said: 'As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee.' So they went down to Beth-el. —
3καὶ ἦλθον οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν οἱ ἐν Βαιθὴλ πρὸς Ἑλισαιὲ καὶ εἶπον πρὸς αὐτόν· εἰ ἔγνως, ὅτι Κύριος σήμερον λαμβάνει τὸν κύριόν σου ἐπάνωθεν τῆς κεφαλῆς σου; καὶ εἶπε· κἀγὼ ἔγνωκα, σιωπᾶτε.
3And the sons of the prophets that were at Beth-el came forth to Elisha, and said unto him: 'Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to-day?' And he said: 'Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.' —
4καὶ εἶπεν Ἠλιοὺ πρὸς Ἑλισαιέ· κάθου δὴ ἐνταῦθα, ὅτι Κύριος ἀπέσταλκέ με εἰς Ἱεριχώ· καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιέ· ζῇ Κύριος καὶ ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου, εἰ ἐγκαταλείψω σε· καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Ἱεριχώ.
4And Elijah said unto him: 'Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Jericho.' And he said: 'As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee.' So they came to Jericho. —
5καὶ ἤγγισαν οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν οἱ ἐν Ἱεριχὼ πρὸς Ἑλισαιὲ καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς αὐτόν· εἰ ἔγνως ὅτι σήμερον λαμβάνει Κύριος τὸν κύριόν σου ἐπάνωθεν τῆς κεφαλῆς σου; καὶ εἶπε· καί γε ἐγὼ ἔγνων, σιωπᾶτε.
5And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came near to Elisha, and said unto him: 'Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to-day?' And he answered: 'Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.' —
6καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἠλιού· κάθου δὴ ὧδε, ὅτι Κύριος ἀπέσταλκέ με ἕως εἰς τὸν Ἰορδάνην· καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιέ· ζῇ Κύριος καὶ ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου, εἰ ἐγκαταλείψω σε· καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἀμφότεροι·
6And Elijah said unto him: 'Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to the Jordan.' And he said: 'As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee.' And they two went on.
7καὶ πεντήκοντα ἄνδρες υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν καὶ ἔστησαν ἐξεναντίας μακρόθεν· καὶ ἀμφότεροι ἔστησαν ἐπὶ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου.
7And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood over against them afar off; and they two stood by the Jordan.
8καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἠλιοὺ τὴν μηλωτὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἵλησε καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸ ὕδωρ, καὶ διῃρέθη τὸ ὕδωρ ἔνθα καὶ ἔνθα, καὶ διέβησαν ἀμφότεροι ἐν ἐρήμῳ.
8And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground.
9καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ διαβῆναι αὐτοὺς καὶ Ἠλιοὺ εἶπε πρὸς Ἑλισαιέ· αἴτησαι τί ποιήσω σοι πρὶν ἢ ἀναληφθῆναί με ἀπὸ σοῦ. καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιέ· γενηθήτω δὴ διπλᾶ ἐν πνεύματί σου ἐπ᾿ ἐμέ.
9And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha: 'Ask what I shall do for thee, before I am taken from thee.' And Elisha said: 'I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.'
10καὶ εἶπεν Ἠλιού· ἐσκλήρυνας τοῦ αἰτήσασθαι· ἐὰν ἴδῃς με ἀναλαμβανόμενον ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ ἔσται σοι οὕτως· καὶ ἐὰν μή, οὐ μὴ γένηται.
10And he said: 'Thou hast asked a hard thing; nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.'
11καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτῶν πορευομένων, ἐπορεύοντο καὶ ἐλάλουν· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἅρμα πυρὸς καὶ ἵπποι πυρὸς καὶ διέστειλαν ἀνὰ μέσον ἀμφοτέρων, καὶ ἀνελήφθη Ἠλιοὺ ἐν συσσεισμῷ ὡς εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν.
11And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, which parted them both assunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
12καὶ Ἑλισαιὲ ἑώρα καὶ ἐβόα· πάτερ, πάτερ, ἅρμα Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἱππεὺς αὐτοῦ· καὶ οὐκ εἶδεν αὐτὸν ἔτι καὶ ἐπελάβετο τῶν ἱματίων αὐτοῦ καὶ διέρρηξεν αὐτὰ εἰς δύο ρήγματα.
12And Elisha saw it, and he cried: 'My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and the horsemen thereof!' And he saw him no more; and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
13καὶ ὕψωσε τὴν μηλωτὴν Ἠλιού, ἣ ἔπεσεν ἐπάνωθεν Ἑλισαιέ, καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν Ἑλισαιὲ καὶ ἔστη ἐπὶ τοῦ χείλους τοῦ Ἰορδάνου·
13He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of the Jordan.
14καὶ ἔλαβε τὴν μηλωτὴν Ἠλιού, ἣ ἔπεσεν ἐπάνωθεν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸ ὕδωρ καὶ οὐ διέστη· καὶ εἶπε· ποῦ ὁ Θεὸς Ἠλιοὺ ἀφφώ; καὶ ἐπάταξε τὰ ὕδατα, καὶ διερράγησαν ἔνθα καὶ ἔνθα, καὶ διέβη Ἑλισαιέ.
14And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said: 'Where is the LORD, the God of Elijah?' and when he also had smitten the waters, they were divided hither and thither; and Elisha went over.
15καὶ εἶδον αὐτὸν οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν οἱ ἐν Ἱεριχὼ ἐξεναντίας καὶ εἶπον· ἐπαναπέπαυται τὸ πνεῦμα Ἠλιοὺ ἐπὶ Ἑλισαιέ· καὶ ἦλθον εἰς συναντὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ προσεκύνησαν αὐτῷ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.
15And when the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho some way off saw him, they said: 'The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha.' And they came to meet him, and bowed down to the ground before him.
16καὶ εἶπον πρὸς αὐτόν· ἰδοὺ δὴ μετὰ τῶν παίδων σου πεντήκοντα ἄνδρες υἱοὶ δυνάμεως· πορευθέντες δὴ ζητησάτωσαν τὸν κύριόν σου, μή ποτε ᾖρεν αὐτὸν πνεῦμα Κυρίου καὶ ἔρριψεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ Ἰορδάνῃ ἢ ἐφ᾿ ἓν τῶν ὀρέων ἢ ἐφ᾿ ἕνα τῶν βουνῶν. καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιέ· οὐκ ἀποστελεῖτε.
16And they said unto him: 'Behold now, there are with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master; lest peradventure the spirit of the LORD hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley.' And he said: 'Ye shall not send.'
17καὶ παρεβιάσαντο αὐτὸν ἕως οὗ ᾐσχύνετο. καὶ εἶπεν· ἀποστείλατε. καὶ ἀπέστειλαν πεντήκοντα ἄνδρας, καὶ ἐζήτησαν τρεῖς ἡμέρας καὶ οὐχ εὗρον αὐτόν.
17And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said: 'Send.' They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not.
18καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐκάθητο ἐν Ἱεριχώ, καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιέ· οὐκ εἶπον πρὸς ὑμᾶς, μὴ πορευθῆτε;
18And they came back to him, while he tarried at Jericho; and he said unto them: 'Did I not say unto you: Go not?'
19καὶ εἶπον οἱ ἄνδρες τῆς πόλεως πρὸς Ἑλισαιέ· ἰδοὺ ἡ κατοίκησις τῆς πόλεως ἀγαθή, καθὼς ὁ κύριος βλέπει, καὶ τὰ ὕδατα πονηρὰ καὶ ἡ γῆ ἀτεκνουμένη.
19And the men of the city said unto Elisha: 'Behold, we pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth; but the water is bad, and the land miscarrieth.
20καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιέ· λάβετέ μοι ὑδρίσκην καινὴν καὶ θέτε ἐκεῖ ἅλα· καὶ ἔλαβον καὶ ἤνεγκαν πρὸς αὐτόν.
20And he said: 'Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein.' And they brought it to him.
21καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἑλισαιὲ εἰς τὴν διέξοδον τῶν ὑδάτων καὶ ἔρριψεν ἐκεῖ ἅλα καὶ εἶπε· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἴαμαι τὰ ὕδατα, οὐκ ἔσται ἔτι ἐκεῖθεν θάνατος καὶ ἀτεκνουμένη.
21And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast salt therein, and said: 'Thus saith the LORD: I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or miscarrying.'
22καὶ ἰάθησαν τὰ ὕδατα ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης κατὰ τὸ ρῆμα Ἑλισαιέ, ὃ ἐλάλησε.
22So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.
23καὶ ἀνέβη ἐκεῖθεν εἰς Βαιθήλ· καὶ ἀναβαίνοντος αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ καὶ παιδάρια μικρὰ ἐξῆλθον ἐκ τῆς πόλεως καὶ κατέπαιζον αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ· ἀνάβαινε, φαλακρέ, ἀνάβαινε.
23And he went up from thence unto Beth-el; and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him: 'Go up, thou baldhead; go up, thou baldhead.'
24καὶ ἐξένευσεν ὀπίσω αὐτῶν καὶ εἶδεν αὐτά, καὶ κατηράσατο αὐτοῖς ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐξῆλθον δύο ἄρκοι ἐκ τοῦ δρυμοῦ καὶ ἀνέρρηξαν ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν τεσσαράκοντα καὶ δύο παῖδας.
24And he looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she-bears out of the wood, and tore forty and two children of them.
25καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐκεῖθεν εἰς τὸ ὄρος τὸ Καρμήλιον κἀκεῖθεν ἐπέστρεψεν εἰς Σαμάρειαν.
25And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
