1 At nangyari, nang isasampa ng Panginoon si Elias sa langit sa pamamagitan ng isang ipoipo, na si Elias ay yumaong kasama ni Eliseo mula sa Gilgal.

1 And it came about when the Lord was about to take up Elijah by a whirlwind to heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.

2 At sinabi ni Elias kay Eliseo, Isinasamo ko sa iyo na maghintay ka rito: sapagka't sinugo ako ng Panginoon hanggang sa Beth-el. At sinabi ni Eliseo, Buhay ang Panginoon, at buhay ang iyong kaluluwa, hindi kita iiwan. Sa gayo'y bumaba sila sa Beth-el.

2 Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here please, for the Lord has sent me as far as Bethel.” But Elisha said, “As the Lord lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel.

3 At nilabas ng mga anak ng mga propeta na nasa Beth-el si Eliseo, at nagsipagsabi sa kaniya, Talastas mo ba na ihihiwalay ng Panginoon ang iyong panginoon sa iyong ulo ngayon? At kaniyang sinabi, Oo, talastas ko; pumayapa kayo.

3 Then the 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?” And he said, “Yes, I know; be still.”

4 At sinabi ni Elias sa kaniya, Eliseo, isinasamo ko sa iyo na maghintay ka rito; sapagka't sinugo ako ng Panginoon sa Jerico. At kaniyang sinabi, Buhay ang Panginoon, at buhay ang iyong kaluluwa, hindi kita iiwan. Sa gayo'y nagsiparoon sila sa Jerico.

4 Elijah said to him, “Elisha, please stay here, for the Lord has sent me to Jericho.” But he said, “As the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they came to Jericho.

5 At nagsilapit kay Eliseo ang mga anak ng mga propeta na nangasa Jerico, at nagsipagsabi sa kaniya, Talastas mo ba na ihihiwalay ng Panginoon ang iyong panginoon sa iyong ulo ngayon? At siya'y sumagot, Oo, talastas ko; pumayapa kayo.

5 The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho approached Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that the Lord will take away your master from over you today?” And he answered, “Yes, I know; be still.”

6 At sinabi ni Elias sa kaniya, Isinasamo ko sa iyo na maghintay ka rito; sapagka't sinugo ako ng Panginoon sa Jordan. At kaniyang sinabi, Buhay ang Panginoon, at buhay ang iyong kaluluwa, hindi kita iiwan. At silang dalawa ay nagsiyaon.

6 Then Elijah said to him, “Please stay here, for the Lord has sent me to the Jordan.” And he said, “As the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them went on.

7 At limangpu sa mga anak ng mga propeta ay nagsiyaon, at nagsitayo sa tapat nila sa malayo; at silang dalawa ay nagsitayo sa tabi ng Jordan.

7 Now fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance, while the two of them stood by the Jordan.

8 At kinuha ni Elias ang kaniyang balabal, at tiniklop, at hinampas ang tubig, at nahawi dito at doon, na ano pa't silang dalawa'y nagsidaan sa tuyong lupa.

8 Elijah took his mantle and folded it together and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground.

9 At nangyari, nang sila'y makatawid, na sinabi ni Elias kay Eliseo, Hingin mo kung ano ang gagawin ko sa iyo, bago ako ihiwalay sa iyo. At sinabi ni Eliseo, Isinasamo ko sa iyo, na ang ibayong bahagi ng iyong diwa ay sumaakin.

9 When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you.” And Elisha said, “Please, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.”

10 At sinabi niya, Ikaw ay humingi ng mabigat na bagay: gayon ma'y kung makita mo ako pagka ako'y inihiwalay sa iyo, magiging gayon sa iyo; nguni't kung hindi ay hindi magiging gayon.

10 He said, “You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so.”

11 At nangyari, samantalang sila'y nagpapatuloy, at nagsasalitaan, na narito, napakita ang isang karong apoy, at mga kabayong apoy, na naghiwalay sa kanila kapuwa; at si Elias ay sumampa sa langit sa pamamagitan ng isang ipoipo.

11 As they were going along and talking, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of fire which separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven.

12 At nakita ni Eliseo, at siya'y sumigaw. Ama ko, ama ko, mga karo ng Israel at mga mangangabayo niyaon! At hindi na niya nakita siya: at kaniyang hinawakan ang kaniyang sariling kasuutan, at hinapak ng dalawang hati.

12 Elisha saw it and cried out, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” And he saw Elijah no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces.

13 Kinuha rin niya ang balabal ni Elias na nahulog sa kaniya, at siya'y bumalik, at tumayo sa tabi ng pangpang ng Jordan.

13 He also took up the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and returned and stood by the bank of the Jordan.

14 At kaniyang kinuha ang balabal ni Elias na nahulog sa kaniya, at hinampas ang tubig, at sinabi, Saan nandoon ang Panginoon, ang Dios ni Elias? at nang kaniyang mahampas naman ang tubig, ay nahawi dito at doon: at si Eliseo ay tumawid.

14 He took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and struck the waters and said, “Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” And when he also had struck the waters, they were divided here and there; and Elisha crossed over.

15 At nang makita siya ng mga anak ng mga propeta na nangasa Jerico sa tapat niya, ay kanilang sinabi, Ang diwa ni Elias ay sumasa kay Eliseo. At sila'y nagsiyaon na sinalubong siya, at sila'y nangagpatirapa sa lupa sa harap niya.

15 Now when the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho opposite him saw him, they said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.” And they came to meet him and bowed themselves to the ground before him.

16 At kanilang sinabi sa kaniya, Narito ngayon, sa iyong mga lingkod ay may limangpung malalakas na lalake; isinasamo namin sa iyo na payaunin mo sila, at hanapin ang inyong panginoon, baka sakaling itinaas ng Espiritu ng Panginoon, at inihagis sa isang bundok, o sa isang libis. At kaniyang sinabi, Huwag kayong magsipagsugo.

16 They said to him, “Behold now, there are with your servants fifty strong men, please let them go and search for your master; perhaps the Spirit of the Lord has taken him up and cast him on some mountain or into some valley.” And he said, “You shall not send.”

17 At nang kanilang pilitin siya hanggang sa siya'y mapahiya, at kaniyang sinabi, Magsipagsugo kayo. Sila'y nagsipagsugo nga ng limangpung lalake, at hinanap nilang tatlong araw, nguni't hindi nasumpungan siya.

17 But when they urged him until he was ashamed, he said, “Send.” They sent therefore fifty men; and they searched three days but did not find him.

18 At sila'y nagsibalik sa kaniya, samantalang siya'y naghihintay sa Jerico; at kaniyang sinabi sa kanila, Di ba sinabi ko sa inyo: Huwag kayong magsiyaon?

18 They returned to him while he was staying at Jericho; and he said to them, “Did I not say to you, ‘Do not go’?”

19 At sinabi ng mga lalake sa bayan kay Eliseo: Tingnan mo, isinasamo namin sa iyo, na ang kalagayan ng bayang ito ay maligaya, gaya ng nakikita ng aking panginoon: nguni't ang tubig ay masama, at ang lupa ay nagpapalagas ng bunga.

19 Then the men of the city said to Elisha, “Behold now, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad and the land is unfruitful.”

20 At kaniyang sinabi, Dalhan ninyo ako ng isang bagong banga, at sidlan ninyo ng asin. At kanilang dinala sa kaniya.

20 He said, “Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it.” So they brought it to him.

21 At siya'y naparoon sa bukal ng tubig, at hinagisan niya ng asin, at nagsabi, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Aking pinabuti ang tubig na ito; hindi na magkakaroon mula rito ng kamatayan pa o pagkalagas ng bunga.

21 He went out to the spring of water and threw salt in it and said, “Thus says the Lord, ‘I have purified these waters; there shall not be from there death or unfruitfulness any longer.’”

22 Sa gayo'y bumuti ang tubig hanggang sa araw na ito, ayon sa salita ni Eliseo na kaniyang sinalita.

22 So the waters have been purified to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.

23 At siya'y umahon sa Beth-el mula roon: at samantalang siya'y umaahon sa daan, may nagsilabas sa bayan na mga bata, at tinuya siya, at sinabi nila sa kaniya, Umahon ka, ikaw na kalbo ang ulo; umahon ka, ikaw na kalbo ang ulo.

23 Then he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up by the way, young lads came out from the city and mocked him and said to him, “Go up, you baldhead; go up, you baldhead!”

24 At siya'y lumingon sa likuran niya, at nangakita niya, at sinumpa niya sila sa pangalan ng Panginoon. At doo'y lumabas ang dalawang osong babae sa gubat, at lumapa ng apat na pu't dalawang bata sa kanila.

24 When he looked behind him and saw them, he cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two female bears came out of the woods and tore up forty-two lads of their number.

25 At siya'y naparoon sa bundok ng Carmelo mula roon, at mula roo'y bumalik siya sa Samaria.

25 He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
