1ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἀνάγειν Κύριον ἐν συσσεισμῷ τὸν Ἠλιοὺ ὡς εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ἠλιοὺ καὶ Ἑλισαιὲ ἐκ Γαλγάλων.
1When the LORD was about to take Elijah up by a whirlwind into heaven, 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.
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.
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.
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.”
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.
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.
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.
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.”
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·
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.
7καὶ πεντήκοντα ἄνδρες υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν καὶ ἔστησαν ἐξεναντίας μακρόθεν· καὶ ἀμφότεροι ἔστησαν ἐπὶ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου.
7Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both 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.
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.
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.
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.”
10καὶ εἶπεν Ἠλιού· ἐσκλήρυνας τοῦ αἰτήσασθαι· ἐὰν ἴδῃς με ἀναλαμβανόμενον ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ ἔσται σοι οὕτως· καὶ ἐὰν μή, οὐ μὴ γένηται.
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.”
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.
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.
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.
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.
13καὶ ὕψωσε τὴν μηλωτὴν Ἠλιού, ἣ ἔπεσεν ἐπάνωθεν Ἑλισαιέ, καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν Ἑλισαιὲ καὶ ἔστη ἐπὶ τοῦ χείλους τοῦ Ἰορδάνου·
13He also took up Elijah’s mantle 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
17καὶ παρεβιάσαντο αὐτὸν ἕως οὗ ᾐσχύνετο. καὶ εἶπεν· ἀποστείλατε. καὶ ἀπέστειλαν πεντήκοντα ἄνδρας, καὶ ἐζήτησαν τρεῖς ἡμέρας καὶ οὐχ εὗρον αὐτόν.
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.
18καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐκάθητο ἐν Ἱεριχώ, καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιέ· οὐκ εἶπον πρὸς ὑμᾶς, μὴ πορευθῆτε;
18They came back to him while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you, ‘Don’t go’?”
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.
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.”
20καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιέ· λάβετέ μοι ὑδρίσκην καινὴν καὶ θέτε ἐκεῖ ἅλα· καὶ ἔλαβον καὶ ἤνεγκαν πρὸς αὐτόν.
20He said, “Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it.” Then 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.
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.’”
22καὶ ἰάθησαν τὰ ὕδατα ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης κατὰ τὸ ρῆμα Ἑλισαιέ, ὃ ἐλάλησε.
22So the waters were healed to this day, according to Elisha’s word 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.
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!”
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.
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.
25καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐκεῖθεν εἰς τὸ ὄρος τὸ Καρμήλιον κἀκεῖθεν ἐπέστρεψεν εἰς Σαμάρειαν.
25He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
