2 Kings 2

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 This is what happened when Yahweh took Elijah up to heaven in the whirlwind: Elijah and Elisha set outfrom Gilgal,	1 και εγενετο εν τω αναγειν κυριον τον ηλιου εν συσσεισμω ως εις τον ουρανον και επορευθη ηλιου και ελισαιε εκ γαλγαλων
2 and Elijah said to Elisha, 'You stay here, for Yahweh is only sending me to Bethel.' But Elisha replied,'As Yahweh lives and as you yourself live, I wil not leave you!' and they went down to Bethel.	2 και ειπεν ηλιου προς ελισαιε καθου δη ενταυθα οτι κυριος απεσταλκεν με εως βαιθηλ και ειπεν ελισαιε ζη κυριος και ζη η ψυχη σου ει καταλειψω σε και ηλθον εις βαιθηλ
3 The brotherhood of prophets living at Bethel came out to meet Elisha and said, 'Do you know thatYahweh wil carry your lord and master away today?' 'Yes, I know,' he said, 'be quiet.'	3 και ηλθον οι υιοι των προφητων οι εν βαιθηλ προς ελισαιε και ειπον προς αυτον ει εγνως οτι κυριος σημερον λαμβανει τον κυριον σου επανωθεν της κεφαλης σου και ειπεν καγω εγνωκα σιωπατε
4 Elijah said, 'Elisha, you stay here, Yahweh is only sending me to Jericho.' But he replied, 'As Yahwehlives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you!' and they went on to Jericho.	4 και ειπεν ηλιου προς ελισαιε καθου δη ενταυθα οτι κυριος απεσταλκεν με εις ιεριχω και ειπεν ελισαιε ζη κυριος και ζη η ψυχη σου ει εγκαταλειψω σε και ηλθον εις ιεριχω
5 The brotherhood of prophets living at Jericho went up to Elisha and said, 'Do you know that Yahweh wil carry your lord and master away today?' 'Yes, I know,' he said, 'be quiet.'	5 και ηγγισαν οι υιοι των προφητων οι εν ιεριχω προς ελισαιε και ειπαν προς αυτον ει εγνως οτι σημερον λαμβανει κυριος τον κυριον σου επανωθεν της κεφαλης σου και ειπεν και γε εγω εγνων σιωπατε
6 Elijah said, 'Elisha, you stay here, Yahweh is only sending me to the Jordan.' But he replied, 'As Yahwehlives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you!' And they went on together.	6 και ειπεν αυτω ηλιου καθου δη ωδε οτι κυριος απεσταλκεν με εως του ιορδανου και ειπεν ελισαιε ζη κυριος και ζη η ψυχη σου ει εγκαταλειψω σε και επορευθησαν αμφοτεροι
7 Fifty of the brotherhood of prophets followed them, halting some distance away as the two of them stoodbeside the Jordan.	7 και πεντηκοντα ανδρες υιοι των προφητων και εστησαν εξ εναντιας μακροθεν και αμφοτεροι εστησαν επι του ιορδανου
8 Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up and struck the water; and the water divided to left and right, and the twoof them crossed over dry-shod.	8 και ελαβεν ηλιου την μηλωτην αυτου και ειλησεν και επαταξεν το υδωρ και διηρεθη το υδωρ ενθα και ενθα και διεβησαν αμφοτεροι εν ερημω
9 When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, 'Make your request. What can I do for you before I amsnatched away from you?' Elisha answered, 'Let me inherit a double share of your spirit.'	9 και εγενετο εν τω διαβηναι αυτους και ηλιου ειπεν προς ελισαιε αιτησαι τι ποιησω σοι πριν η αναλημφθηναι με απο σου και ειπεν ελισαιε γενηθητω δη διπλα εν πνευματι σου επ' εμε
10 'Your request is difficult,' Elijah said. 'If you see me while I am being snatched away from you, it wil beas you ask; if not, it wil not be so.'	10 και ειπεν ηλιου εσκληρυνας του αιτησασθαι εαν ιδης με αναλαμβανομενον απο σου και εσται σοι ουτως και εαν μη ου μη γενηται
11 Now as they walked on, talking as they went, a chariot of fire appeared and horses of fire comingbetween the two of them; and Elijah went up to heaven in the whirlwind.	11 και εγενετο αυτων πορευομενων επορευοντο και ελαλουν και ιδου αρμα πυρος και ιπποι πυρος και διεστειλαν ανα μεσον αμφοτερων και ανελημφθη ηλιου εν συσσεισμω ως εις τον ουρανον
12 Elisha saw it, and shouted, 'My father! My father! Chariot of Israel and its chargers!' Then he lost sightof him, and taking hold of his own clothes he tore them in half.	12 και ελισαιε εωρα και εβοα πατερ πατερ αρμα ισραηλ και ιππευς αυτου και ουκ ειδεν αυτον ετι και επελαβετο των ιματιων αυτου και διερρηξεν αυτα εις δυο ρηγματα
13 He picked up Elijah's cloak which had fal en, and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan.	13 και υψωσεν την μηλωτην ηλιου η επεσεν επανωθεν ελισαιε και επεστρεψεν ελισαιε και εστη επι του χειλους του ιορδανου
14 He took Elijah's cloak and struck the water. 'Where is Yahweh, the God of Elijah?' he cried. As hestruck the water it divided to right and left, and Elisha crossed over.	14 και ελαβεν την μηλωτην ηλιου η επεσεν επανωθεν αυτου και επαταξεν το υδωρ και ου διεστη και ειπεν που ο θεος ηλιου αφφω και επαταξεν τα υδατα και διερραγησαν ενθα και ενθα και διεβη ελισαιε
15 The brotherhood of prophets saw him in the distance, and said, 'The spirit of Elijah has come to rest onElisha'; they went to meet him and bowed to the ground before him.	15 και ειδον αυτον οι υιοι των προφητων οι εν ιεριχω εξ εναντιας και ειπον επαναπεπαυται το πνευμα ηλιου επι ελισαιε και ηλθον εις συναντην αυτου και προσεκυνησαν αυτω επι την γην
16 'Look,' they said, 'your servants have fifty strong men with them, let them go and look for your master;the Spirit of Yahweh may have taken him up and thrown him down on a mountain or into a val ey.' 'Send no one,'he replied.	16 και ειπον προς αυτον ιδου δη μετα των παιδων σου πεντηκοντα ανδρες υιοι δυναμεως πορευθεντες δη ζητησατωσαν τον κυριον σου μηποτε ηρεν αυτον πνευμα κυριου και ερριψεν αυτον εν τω ιορδανη η εφ' εν των ορεων η εφ' ενα των βουνων και ειπεν ελισαιε ουκ αποστελειτε
17 But they so shamed him with their insistence that he consented. So they sent fifty men who searchedfor three days without finding him.	17 και παρεβιασαντο αυτον εως οτου ησχυνετο και ειπεν αποστειλατε και απεστειλαν πεντηκοντα ανδρας και εζητησαν τρεις ημερας και ουχ ευρον αυτον
18 They then came back to Elisha who had stayed in Jericho; he said, 'Didn't I tell you not to go?'	18 και ανεστρεψαν προς αυτον και αυτος εκαθητο εν ιεριχω και ειπεν ελισαιε ουκ ειπον προς υμας μη πορευθητε
19 The people of the city said to Elisha, 'The city is pleasant to live in, as my lord indeed can see, but thewater is foul and the country suffers from miscarriages.'	19 και ειπον οι ανδρες της πολεως προς ελισαιε ιδου η κατοικησις της πολεως αγαθη καθως ο κυριος βλεπει και τα υδατα πονηρα και η γη ατεκνουμενη
20 'Bring me a new bowl,' he said, 'and put some salt in it.' They brought it to him.	20 και ειπεν ελισαιε λαβετε μοι υδρισκην καινην και θετε εκει αλα και ελαβον προς αυτον
21 Then he went to the source of the water, threw salt into it and said, 'Yahweh says this, "I make thiswater wholesome: neither death nor miscarriage shal come from it any more." '	21 και εξηλθεν ελισαιε εις την διεξοδον των υδατων και ερριψεν εκει αλα και ειπεν ταδε λεγει κυριος ιαμαι τα υδατα ταυτα ουκ εσται ετι εκειθεν θανατος και ατεκνουμενη
22 And the water became wholesome, as it is today, exactly as Elisha had said it would.	22 και ιαθησαν τα υδατα εως της ημερας ταυτης κατα το ρημα ελισαιε ο ελαλησεν
23 From there he went up to Bethel, and while he was on the road, some smal boys came out of the townand jeered at him. 'Hurry up, baldy!' they shouted. 'Come on up, baldy!'	23 και ανεβη εκειθεν εις βαιθηλ και αναβαινοντος αυτου εν τη οδω και παιδαρια μικρα εξηλθον εκ της πολεως και κατεπαιζον αυτου και ειπον αυτω αναβαινε φαλακρε αναβαινε
24 He turned round and looked at them; and he cursed them in the name of Yahweh. And two bears cameout of the forest and savaged forty-two of the boys.	24 και εξενευσεν οπισω αυτων και ειδεν αυτα και κατηρασατο αυτοις εν ονοματι κυριου και ιδου εξηλθον δυο αρκοι εκ του δρυμου και ανερρηξαν εξ αυτων τεσσαρακοντα και δυο παιδας
25 From there he went on to Mount Carmel and then returned to Samaria.	25 και επορευθη εκειθεν εις το ορος το καρμηλιον και εκειθεν επεστρεψεν εις σαμαρειαν
