列王紀下 2

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。

yē hé huá yào yòng xuán fēng jiē yǐ lì yà shēng tiān de shí hòu ， yǐ lì yà yǔ yǐ lì shā cóng jí jiǎ qián wǎng 。

When the LORD was about to take Elijah up by a whirlwind into heaven, Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.

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。

yǐ lì yà duì yǐ lì shā shuō ：「 yē hé huá chà wǒ wǎng bó tè lì qù ， nǐ kě yǐ zài zhè lǐ děng hòu 。」 yǐ lì shā shuō ：「 wǒ zhǐ zhe yǒng shēng de yē hé huá ， yòu gǎn zài nǐ miàn qián qǐ shì ， wǒ bì bù lí kāi nǐ 。」 yú shì èr rén xià dào bó tè lì 。

Elijah 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.

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。」

zhù bó tè lì de xiān zhī mén tú chū lái jiàn yǐ lì shā ， duì tā shuō ：「 yē hé huá jīn rì yào jiē nǐ de shī fu lí kāi nǐ ， nǐ zhī dào bù zhī dào ？」 tā shuō ：「 wǒ zhī dào ， nǐ men bú yào zuò shēng 。」

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?” He said, “Yes, I know it. Hold your peace.”

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。

yǐ lì yà duì yǐ lì shā shuō ：「 yē hé huá chāi qiǎn wǒ wǎng yē lì gē qù ， nǐ kě yǐ zài zhè lǐ děng hòu 。」 yǐ lì shā shuō ：「 wǒ zhǐ zhe yǒng shēng de yē hé huá ， yòu gǎn zài nǐ miàn qián qǐ shì ， wǒ bì bù lí kāi nǐ 。」 yú shì èr rén dào le yē lì gē 。

Elijah 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.

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。」

zhù yē lì gē de xiān zhī mén tú jiù jìn yǐ lì shā ， duì tā shuō ：「 yē hé huá jīn rì yào jiē nǐ de shī fu lí kāi nǐ ， nǐ zhī dào bù zhī dào ？」 tā shuō ：「 wǒ zhī dào ， nǐ men bú yào zuò shēng 。」

The 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.”

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。

yǐ lì yà duì yǐ lì shā shuō ：「 yē hé huá chāi qiǎn wǒ wǎng yuē dàn hé qù ， nǐ kě yǐ zài zhè lǐ děng hòu 。」 yǐ lì shā shuō ：「 wǒ zhǐ zhe yǒng shēng de yē hé huá ， yòu gǎn zài nǐ miàn qián qǐ shì ， wǒ bì bù lí kāi nǐ 。」 yú shì èr rén yì tóng qián wǎng 。

Elijah 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.

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。

yǒu xiān zhī mén tú qù le wǔ shí rén ， yuǎn yuǎn dì zhàn zài tā men duì miàn ； èr rén zài yuē dàn hé biān zhàn zhù 。

Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both stood by the Jordan.

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。

yǐ lì yà jiāng zì jǐ de wài yī juǎn qǐ lái ， yòng yǐ dǎ shuǐ ， shuǐ jiù zuǒ yòu fēn kāi ， èr rén zǒu gān dì ér guò 。

Elijah 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.

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。」

guò qù zhī hòu ， yǐ lì yà duì yǐ lì shā shuō ：「 wǒ wèi céng bèi jiē qù lí kāi nǐ ， nǐ yào wǒ wèi nǐ zuò shén me ， zhī guǎn qiú wǒ 。」 yǐ lì shā shuō ：「 yuàn gǎn dòng nǐ de líng jiā bèi dì gǎn dòng wǒ 。」

When 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.”

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。」

yǐ lì yà shuō ：「 nǐ suǒ qiú de nán dé 。 suī rán rú cǐ ， wǒ bèi jiē qù lí kāi nǐ de shí hòu ， nǐ ruò kàn jiàn wǒ ， jiù bì dé zhe ； bù rán ， bì dé bù zhe le 。」

He 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.”

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。

tā men zhèng zǒu zhe shuō huà ， hū yǒu huǒ chē huǒ mǎ jiāng èr rén gé kāi ， yǐ lì yà jiù chéng xuán fēng shēng tiān qù le 。

As 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.

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。

yǐ lì shā kàn jiàn ， jiù hū jiào shuō ：「 wǒ fù a ！ wǒ fù a ！ yǐ sè liè de zhàn chē mǎ bīng a ！」 yǐ hòu bú zài jiàn tā le 。 yú shì yǐ lì shā bǎ zì jǐ de yī fu sī wèi liǎng piàn 。

Elisha 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.

他拾起以利亞身上掉下來的外衣，回去站在約旦河邊。

tā shí qǐ yǐ lì yà shēn shàng diào xià lái de wài yī ， huí qù zhàn zài yuē dàn hé biān 。

He also took up Elijah’s mantle that fell from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan.

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。

tā yòng yǐ lì yà shēn shàng diào xià lái de wài yī dǎ shuǐ ， shuō ：「 yē hé huá — yǐ lì yà de shén zài nǎ lǐ ne ？」 dǎ shuǐ zhī hòu ， shuǐ yě zuǒ yòu fēn kāi ， yǐ lì shā jiù guò lái le 。

He 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.

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，

zhù yē lì gē de xiān zhī mén tú cóng duì miàn kàn jiàn tā ， jiù shuō ：「 gǎn dòng yǐ lì yà de líng gǎn dòng yǐ lì shā le 。」 tā men jiù lái yíng jiē tā ， zài tā miàn qián fǔ fú yú dì ，

When 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.

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。」

duì tā shuō ：「 pú rén men zhè lǐ yǒu wǔ shí gè zhuàng shì ， qiú nǐ róng tā men qù xún zhǎo nǐ shī fu ， huò zhě yē hé huá de líng jiāng tā tí qǐ lái ， tóu zài mǒu shān mǒu gǔ 。」 yǐ lì shā shuō ：「 nǐ men bú bì dǎ fā rén qù 。」

They 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.”

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。

tā men zài sān cuī cù tā ， tā nán yǐ tuī cí ， jiù shuō ：「 nǐ men dǎ fā rén qù ba ！」 tā men biàn dǎ fā wǔ shí rén qù ， xún zhǎo le sān tiān ， yě méi yǒu zhǎo zhe 。

When 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.

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？」

yǐ lì shā réng rán zài yē lì gē děng hòu tā men huí dào tā nà lǐ ； tā duì tā men shuō ：「 wǒ qǐ méi yǒu gào sù nǐ men bú bì qù ma ？」

They came back to him while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you, ‘Don’t go’?”

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。」

yē lì gē chéng de rén duì yǐ lì shā shuō ：「 zhè chéng de dì shì měi hǎo ， wǒ zhǔ kàn jiàn le ； zhǐ shì shuǐ è liè ， tǔ chǎn bù shú ér luò 。」

The 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.”

以利沙說：「你們拿一個新瓶來，裝鹽給我」；他們就拿來給他。

yǐ lì shā shuō ：「 nǐ men ná yí gè xīn píng lái ， zhuāng yán gěi wǒ 」； tā men jiù ná lái gěi tā 。

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

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。』」

tā chū dào shuǐ yuán ， jiāng yán dǎo zài shuǐ zhōng ， shuō ：「 yē hé huá rú cǐ shuō ：『 wǒ zhì hǎo le zhè shuǐ ， cóng cǐ bì bú zài shǐ rén sǐ ， yě bú zài shǐ dì tǔ bù shēng chǎn 。』」

He 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.’”

於是那水治好了，直到今日，正如以利沙所說的。

yú shì nà shuǐ zhì hǎo le ， zhí dào jīn rì ， zhèng rú yǐ lì shā suǒ shuō de 。

So the waters were healed to this day, according to Elisha’s word which he spoke.

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！」

yǐ lì shā cóng nà lǐ shàng bó tè lì qù ， zhèng shàng qù de shí hòu ， yǒu xiē tóng zǐ cóng chéng lǐ chū lái ， xì xiào tā shuō ：「 tū tóu de shàng qù ba ！ tū tóu de shàng qù ba ！」

He 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!”

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。

tā huí tóu kàn jiàn ， jiù fèng yē hé huá de míng zhòu zǔ tā men 。 yú shì yǒu liǎng zhī mǔ xióng cóng lín zhōng chū lái ， sī liè tā men zhōng jiān sì shí èr gè tóng zǐ 。

He 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.

以利沙從伯特利上迦密山，又從迦密山回到撒馬利亞。

yǐ lì shā cóng bó tè lì shàng jiā mì shān ， yòu cóng jiā mì shān huí dào sā mǎ lì yà 。

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