2 Kings 2

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 When the LORD was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, he and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal.	1 Οτε δε εμελλεν ο Κυριος να αναβιβαση τον Ηλιαν εις τον ουρανον με ανεμοστροβιλον, ανεχωρησεν ο Ηλιας μετα του Ελισσαιε απο Γαλγαλων.
2 "Stay here, please," Elijah said to Elisha. "The LORD has sent me on to Bethel." "As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live," Elisha replied, "I will not leave you." So they went down to Bethel,	2 Και ειπεν ο Ηλιας προς τον Ελισσαιε, Καθου ενταυθα, παρακαλω? διοτι ο Κυριος με απεστειλεν εως Βαιθηλ. Και ειπεν ο Ελισσαιε, Ζη Κυριος και ζη η ψυχη σου, δεν θελω σε αφησει. Και κατεβησαν εις Βαιθηλ.
3 where the guild prophets went out to Elisha and asked him, "Do you know that the LORD will take your master from over you today?" "Yes, I know it," he replied. "Keep still."	3 Και εξηλθον οι υιοι των προφητων οι εν Βαιθηλ προς τον Ελισσαιε και ειπον προς αυτον, Εξευρεις οτι ο Κυριος σημερον λαμβανει τον κυριον σου επανωθεν της κεφαλης σου; Και ειπε, Και εγω εξευρω τουτο? σιωπατε.
4 Then Elijah said to him, "Stay here, please, Elisha, for the LORD has sent me on to Jericho." "As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live," Elisha replied, "I will not leave you."	4 Και ειπεν ο Ηλιας προς αυτον, Ελισσαιε, καθου ενταυθα, παρακαλω? διοτι ο Κυριος με απεστειλεν εις Ιεριχω. Ο δε ειπε, Ζη Κυριος και ζη η ψυχη σου, δεν θελω σε αφησει. Και ηλθον εις Ιεριχω.
5 They went on to Jericho, where the guild prophets approached Elisha and asked him, "Do you know that the LORD will take your master from over you today?" "Yes, I know it," he replied. "Keep still."	5 Και προσηλθον οι υιοι των προφητων οι εν Ιεριχω προς τον Ελισσαιε και ειπον προς αυτον, Εξευρεις οτι ο Κυριος σημερον λαμβανει τον κυριον σου επανωθεν της κεφαλης σου; Και ειπε, Και εγω εξευρω τουτο? σιωπατε.
6 Elijah said to Elisha, "Please stay here; the LORD has sent me on to the Jordan." "As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live," Elisha replied, "I will not leave you." And so the two went on together.	6 Και ειπεν ο Ηλιας προς αυτον, Καθου ενταυθα, παρακαλω? διοτι ο Κυριος με απεστειλεν εις τον Ιορδανην. Ο δε ειπε, Ζη Κυριος και ζη η ψυχη σου, δεν θελω σε αφησει. Και υπηγαν αμφοτεροι.
7 Fifty of the guild prophets followed, and when the two stopped at the Jordan, stood facing them at a distance.	7 Και υπηγαν πεντηκοντα ανδρες εκ των υιων των προφητων, και εσταθησαν απεναντι μακροθεν? εκεινοι δε οι δυο εσταθησαν επι του Ιορδανου.
8 Elijah took his mantle, rolled it up and struck the water, which divided, and both crossed over on dry ground.	8 Και ελαβεν ο Ηλιας την μηλωτην αυτου και εδιπλωσεν αυτην και εκτυπησε τα υδατα, και διηρεθησαν ενθεν και ενθεν, και διεβησαν αμφοτεροι δια ξηρας.
9 When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask for whatever I may do for you, before I am taken from you." Elisha answered, "May I receive a double portion of your spirit."	9 Και οτε διεβησαν, ειπεν ο Ηλιας προς τον Ελισσαιε, Ζητησον τι να σοι καμω, πριν αναληφθω απο σου. Και ειπεν ο Ελισσαιε, Διπλασια μερις του πνευματος σου ας ηναι, παρακαλω, επ' εμε.
10 "You have asked something that is not easy," he replied. "Still, if you see me taken up from you, your wish will be granted; otherwise not."	10 Ο δε ειπε, Σκληρον πραγμα εζητησας? πλην εαν με ιδης αναλαμβανομενον απο σου, θελει γεινει εις σε ουτως? ει δε μη, δεν θελει γεινει.
11 As they walked on conversing, a flaming chariot and flaming horses came between them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.	11 Και ενω αυτοι περιεπατουν ετι λαλουντες, ιδου, αμαξα πυρος και ιπποι πυρος, και διεχωρισαν αυτους αμφοτερους? και ανεβη ο Ηλιας με ανεμοστροβιλον εις τον ουρανον.
12 When Elisha saw it happen he cried out, "My father! my father! Israel's chariots and drivers!" But when he could no longer see him, Elisha gripped his own garment and tore it in two.	12 Ο δε Ελισσαιε εβλεπε και εβοα, Πατερ μου, πατερ μου, αμαξα του Ισραηλ και ιππικον αυτου. Και δεν ειδεν αυτον πλεον? και επιασε τα ιματια αυτου και διεσχισεν αυτα εις δυο τμηματα.
13 Then he picked up Elijah's mantle which had fallen from him, and went back and stood at the bank of the Jordan.	13 Και σηκωσας την μηλωτην του Ηλια, ητις επεσεν επανωθεν εκεινου, επεστρεφε και εσταθη επι του χειλους του Ιορδανου.
14 Wielding the mantle which had fallen from Elijah, he struck the water in his turn and said, "Where is the LORD, the God of Elijah?" When Elisha struck the water it divided and he crossed over.	14 Και λαβων την μηλωτην του Ηλια, ητις επεσεν επανωθεν εκεινου, εκτυπησε τα υδατα και ειπε, Που ειναι Κυριος ο Θεος του Ηλια; Και ως εκτυπησε και αυτος τα υδατα, διηρεθησαν ενθεν και ενθεν? και διεβη ο Ελισσαιε.
15 The guild prophets in Jericho, who were on the other side, saw him and said, "The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha." They went to meet him, bowing to the ground before him.	15 Και ιδοντες αυτον οι υιοι των προφητων, οι εν Ιεριχω εκ του απεναντι, ειπον, Το πνευμα του Ηλια επανεπαυθη επι τον Ελισσαιε. Και ηλθον εις συναντησιν αυτου και προσεκυνησαν αυτον εως εδαφους.
16 "Among your servants are fifty brave men," they said. "Let them go in search of your master. Perhaps the spirit of the LORD has carried him away to some mountain or some valley." "Do not send them," he answered.	16 Και ειπον προς αυτον, Ιδου τωρα, πεντηκοντα δυνατοι ανδρες ειναι μετα των δουλων σου? ας υπαγωσι, παρακαλουμεν, και ας ζητησωσι τον κυριον σου, μηποτε εσηκωσεν αυτον το πνευμα του Κυριου και ερριψεν αυτον επι τινος ορους η επι τινος κοιλαδος. Και ειπε, Μη αποστειλητε.
17 However, they kept urging him, until he was embarrassed and said, "Send them." So they sent the fifty men, who searched for three days without finding him.	17 Αλλ' αφου εβιασαν αυτον τοσον ωστε ησχυνετο, ειπεν, Αποστειλατε. Απεστειλαν λοιπον πεντηκοντα ανδρας και εζητησαν τρεις ημερας, πλην δεν ευρηκαν αυτον.
18 When they returned to Elisha in Jericho, where he was staying, he said to them, "Did I not tell you not to go?"	18 Και οτε επεστρεψαν προς αυτον, διοτι εμεινεν εν Ιεριχω, ειπε προς αυτους, Δεν σας ειπα, Μη υπαγητε;
19 Once the inhabitants of the city complained to Elisha, "The site of the city is fine indeed, as my lord can see, but the water is bad and the land unfruitful."	19 Και ειπον οι ανδρες της πολεως προς τον Ελισσαιε, Ιδου τωρα, η θεσις της πολεως ταυτης ειναι καλη, καθως ο κυριος μου βλεπει τα υδατα ομως ειναι κακα και η γη αγονος.
20 "Bring me a new bowl," Elisha said, "and put salt into it." When they had brought it to him,	20 Και ειπε, Φερετε μοι φιαλην καινην και βαλετε αλας εις αυτην. Και εφεραν προς αυτον.
21 he went out to the spring and threw salt into it, saying, "Thus says the LORD, 'I have purified this water. Never again shall death or miscarriage spring from it.'"	21 Και εξηλθεν εις την πηγην των υδατων και ερριψε το αλας εκει και ειπεν, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Υγιανα τα υδατα ταυτα? δεν θελει εισθαι πλεον εκ τουτων θανατος η ακαρπια.
22 And the water has stayed pure even to this day, just as Elisha prophesied.	22 Και ιαθησαν τα υδατα εως της ημερας ταυτης, κατα τον λογον του Ελισσαιε, τον οποιον ελαλησε.
23 From there Elisha went up to Bethel. While he was on the way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him. "Go up, baldhead," they shouted, "go up, baldhead!"	23 Και ανεβη εκειθεν εις Βαιθηλ? και ενω αυτος ανεβαινεν εν τη οδω, εξηλθον εκ της πολεως παιδια μικρα και ενεπαιζον αυτον και ελεγον προς αυτον, Αναβαινε, φαλακρε? αναβαινε, φαλακρε?
24 The prophet turned and saw them, and he cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of the children to pieces.	24 ο δε εστραφη οπισω και ιδων αυτα, κατηρασθη αυτα εις το ονομα του Κυριου. Και εξηλθον εκ του δασους δυο αρκτοι και διεσπαραξαν εξ αυτων τεσσαρακοντα δυο παιδια.
25 From there he went to Mount Carmel, and thence he returned to Samaria.	25 Και υπηγεν εκειθεν εις το ορος τον Καρμηλον? και εκειθεν επεστρεψεν εις Σαμαρειαν.
