2 Kings 2
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
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。
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. —
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 。
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.' —
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。」
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. —
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 。
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.' —
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。」
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.
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。
7And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood over against them afar off; and they two stood by the Jordan.
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。
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.
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。
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.'
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。」
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.'
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。」
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.
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。
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.
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。
13He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of the Jordan.
13他拾起 以利亞 身上掉下來的外衣，回去站在 約旦河 邊。
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.
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。
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.
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，
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.'
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。」
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.
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。
18And they came back to him, while he tarried at Jericho; and he said unto them: 'Did I not say unto you: Go not?'
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？」
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.
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。」
20And he said: 'Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein.' And they brought it to him.
20以利沙 說：「你們拿一個新瓶來，裝鹽給我」；他們就拿來給他。
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.'
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。』」
22So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.
22於是那水治好了，直到今日，正如 以利沙 所說的。
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.'
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！」
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.
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。
25And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
25以利沙 從 伯特利 上 迦密山 ，又從 迦密山 回到 撒馬利亞 。
