4 Kingdoms 2

And it came to pass, when the Lord was going to take Eliu with a whirlwind as it were into heaven, that Eliu and Elisaie went out of Galgala.

Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἀνάγειν Κύριον ἐν συσσεισμῷ τὸν Ἠλιοὺ ὡς εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν, καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ἠλιοὺ καὶ Ἑλισαιὲ ἐκ Γαλγάλων.

And Eliu said to Elisaie, Stay here, I pray thee; for God has sent me to Bæthel. And Elisaie said, As the Lord lives and thy soul lives, I will not leave thee; so they came to Bæthel.

Καὶ εἶπεν Ἠλιοὺ πρὸς Ἑλισαιὲ, κάθου δὴ ἐνταῦθα, ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς ἀπέσταλκέ με ἕως Βαιθήλ· καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιὲ, ζῇ Κύριος καὶ ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου, εἰ ἐγκαταλείψω σε· καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Βαιθήλ.

And the sons of the prophets who were in Bæthel came to Elisaie, and said to him, Dost thou know, that the Lord this day is going to take thy lord away from thy head? And he said, Yea, I know it; be silent.

Καὶ ἦλθον οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν οἱ ἐν Βαιθὴλ πρὸς Ἑλισαιὲ, καὶ εἶπον πρὸς αὐτὸν, εἰ ἔγνως, ὅτι Κύριος σήμερον λαμβάνει τὸν κύριόν σου ἐπάνωθεν τῆς κεφαλῆς σου; καὶ εἶπε, κἀγὼ ἔγνωκα, σιωπᾶτε.

And Eliu said to Elisaie, Stay here, I pray thee; for the Lord has sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the Lord lives and thy soul lives, I will not leave thee. And they came to Jericho.

Καὶ εἶπεν Ἠλιοὺ πρὸς Ἑλισαιὲ, κάθου δὴ ἐνταῦθα, ὅτι Κύριος ἀπέσταλκέ με εἰς Ἱεριχώ· καὶ εἶπε, ζῇ Κύριος καὶ ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου, εἰ ἐγκαταλείψω σε· καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Ἱεριχώ.

And the sons of the prophets who were in Jericho drew near to Elisaie, and said to him, Dost thou know that the Lord is about to take away thy master to-day from thy head? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold your peace.

Καὶ ἤγγισαν οἱ υἱοῖ τῶν προφητῶν οἱ ἐν Ἱεριχὼ πρὸς Ἑλισαιὲ, καὶ εἶπον πρὸς αὐτὸν, εἰ ἔγνως, ὅτι σήμερον λαμβάνει Κύριος τὸν κύρίον σου ἐπάνωθεν τῆς κεφαλῆς σου; καὶ εἶπε, καί γε ἐγὼ ἔγνων, σιωπᾶτε.

And Eliu said to him, Stay here, I pray thee, for the Lord has sent me to Jordan. And Elisaie said, As the Lord lives and thy soul lives, I will not leave thee: and they both went on.

Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἠλιοὺ, κάθου δὴ ὧδε, ὅτι Κύριος ἀπέσταλκέ με ἕως εἰς τὸν Ἰορδάνην· καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιὲ, ζῇ Κύριος καὶ ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου, εἰ ἐγκαταλείψω σε· καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἀμφότεροι,

And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went also, and they stood opposite afar off: and both stood on the bank of Jordan.

καὶ πεντήκοντα ἄνδρες υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν, καὶ ἔστησαν ἐξεναντίας μακρόθεν· καὶ ἀμφότεροι ἔστησαν ἐπὶ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου.

And Eliu took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the water: and the water was divided on this side and on that side, and they both went over on dry ground.

Καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἠλιοὺ τὴν μηλωτὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἴλησε καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸ ὕδωρ, καὶ διῃρέθη τὸ ὕδωρ ἔνθα καὶ ἔνθα· καὶ διέβησαν ἀμφότεροι ἐν ἐρήμῳ.

And it came to pass while they were crossing over, that Eliu said to Elisaie, Ask what I shall do for thee before I am taken up from thee. And Elisaie said, Let there be, I pray thee, a double portion of thy spirit upon me.

Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ διαβῆναι αὐτοὺς, καὶ Ἠλιοὺ εἶπε πρὸς Ἑλισαιὲ, αἴτησαι τί ποιήσω σοι πρὶν ἢ ἀναληφθῆναί με ἀπὸ σοῦ· καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιὲ, γενηθήτω δὴ διπλᾶ ἐν πνεύματί σου ἐπʼ ἐμέ.

And Eliu said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: if thou shalt see me when I am taken up from thee, then shall it be so to thee; and if not, it shall not be so.

Καὶ εἶπεν Ἠλιοὺ, ἐσκλήρυνας τοῦ αἰτήσασθαι· ἐὰν ἴδῃς με ἀναλαμβανόμενον ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ ἔσται σοι οὕτως· καὶ ἐὰν μὴ, οὐ μὴ γένηται.

And it came to pass as they were going, they went on talking; and, behold, a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and it separated between them both; and Eliu was taken up in a whirlwind as it were into heaven.

Καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτῶν πορευομένων, ἐπορεύοντο καὶ ἐλάλουν· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἅρμα πυρὸς καὶ ἵπποι πυρὸς, καὶ διέστειλεν ἀναμέσον ἀμφοτέρων· καὶ ἀνελήμφθη Ἠλιοὺ ἐν συσσεισμῷ ὡς εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν.

And Elisaie saw, and cried, Father, father, the chariot of Israel, and the horseman thereof! And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his garments, and rent them into two pieces.

Καὶ Ἑλισαιὲ ἑώρα, καὶ ἐβόα, πάτερ, πάτερ, ἅρμα Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἱππεὺς αὐτοῦ· καὶ οὐκ εἶδεν αὐτὸν ἔτι· καὶ ἐπελάβετο τῶν ἱματίων αὐτοῦ, καὶ διέῤῥηξεν αὐτὰ εἰς δύο ῥήγματα.

And Elisaie took up the mantle of Eliu, which fell from off him upon Elisaie; and Elisaie returned, and stood upon the brink of Jordan;

Καὶ ὕψωσε τὴν μηλωτὴν Ἠλιοὺ, ἣ ἔπεσεν ἐπάνωθεν Ἑλισαιέ· καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν Ἑλισαιὲ, καὶ ἔστη ἐπὶ τοῦ χείλους τοῦ Ἰορδάνου,

and he took the mantle of Eliu, which fell from off him, and smote the water, and said, Where is the Lord God of Eliu? and he smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither; and Elisaie went over.

καὶ ἔλαβε τὴν μηλωτὴν Ἠλιοὺ, ἣ ἔπεσεν ἐπάνωθεν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸ ὕδωρ, καὶ εἶπε, ποῦ ὁ Θεὸς Ἠλιοὺ ἀφφώ; καὶ ἐπάταξε τὰ ὕδατα, καὶ διεῤῥάγησαν ἔνθα καὶ ἔνθα· καὶ διέβη Ἑλισαιέ.

And the sons of the prophets who were in Jericho on the opposite side saw him, and said, The spirit of Eliu has rested upon Elisaie. And they came to meet him, and did obeisance to him to the ground.

Καὶ εἶδον αὐτὸν οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν οἱ ἐν Ἱεριχὼ ἐξεναντίας, καὶ εἶπον, ἐπαναπέπαυται τὸ πνεῦμα Ἠλιοὺ ἐπὶ Ἑλισαιέ· καὶ ἦλθον εἰς συναντὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ προσεκύνησαν αὐτῷ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν,

And they said to him, Behold now, there are with thy servants fifty men of strength: let them go now, and seek thy lord: peradventure the Spirit of the Lord has taken him up, and cast him into Jordan, or on one of the mountains, or on one of the hills. And Elisaie said, Ye shall not send.

καὶ εἶπον πρὸς αὐτὸν, ἰδοὺ δὴ μετὰ τῶν παίδων σου πεντήκοντα ἄνδρες υἱοὶ δυνάμεως· πορευθέντες δὴ ζητησάτωσαν τὸν κύριόν σου, μή ποτε ᾖρεν αὐτὸν πνεῦμα Κυρίου, καὶ ἔῤῥιψεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ Ἰορδάνῃ ἢ ἐφʼ ἓν τῶν ὀρέων ἢ ἐφʼ ἕνα τῶν βουνῶν· καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιὲ, οὐκ ἀποστελεῖτε.

And they pressed him until he was ashamed; and he said, Send. And they sent fifty men, and sought three days, and found him not.

Καὶ παρεβιάσαντο αὐτὸν, ἕως οὗ ᾐσχύνετο· καὶ εἶπεν, ἀποστείλατε· καὶ ἀπέστειλαν πεντήκοντα ἄνδρας, καὶ ἐζήτησαν τρεῖς ἡμέρας, καὶ οὐχ εὗρον αὐτόν.

And they returned to him, for he dwelt in Jericho: and Elisaie said, Did I not say to you, Go not?

Καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐκάθητο ἐν Ἱεριχώ· καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαῖε, οὐκ εἶπον πρὸς ὑμᾶς, μὴ πορευθῆτε;

And the men of the city said to Elisaie, Behold, the situation of the city is good, as our lord sees; but the waters are bad, and the ground barren.

Καὶ εἶπον οἱ ἄνδρες τῆς πόλεως πρὸς Ἑλισαιὲ, ἰδοὺ ἡ κατοίκησις τῆς πόλεως ἀγαθὴ, καθὼς ὁ κύριος βλέπει, καὶ τὰ ὕδατα πονηρὰ, καὶ ἡ γῆ ἀτεκνουμένη.

And Elisaie said, Bring me a new pitcher, and put salt in it. And they took one, and brought it to him.

Καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιὲ λάβετέ μοι ὑδρίσκην καινὴν, καὶ θέτε ἐκεῖ ἅλα· καὶ ἔλαβον, καὶ ἤνεγκαν πρὸς αὐτόν.

And Elisaie went out to the spring of the waters, and cast salt therein, and says, Thus saith the Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not be any longer death thence or barren land.

Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἐλισαιὲ εἰς τὴν διέξοδον τῶν ὑδάτων, καὶ ἔῤῥιψεν ἐκεῖ ἅλα, καὶ εἶπε, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἴαμαι τὰ ὕδατα ταῦτα, οὐκ ἔσται ἔτι ἐκεῖθεν θάνατος καὶ ἀτεκνουμένη.

And the waters were healed until this day, according to the word of Elisaie which he spoke.

Καὶ ἰάθησαν τὰ ὕδατα ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης, κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα Ἑλισαιὲ ὃ ἐλάλησε.

And he went up thence to Bæthel: and as he was going up by the way there came up also little children from the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, baldhead, go up.

Καὶ ἀνέβη ἐκεῖθεν εἰς Βαιθήλ· καὶ ἀναβαίνοντος αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ καὶ παιδάρια μικρὰ ἐξῆλθον ἐκ τῆς πόλεως καὶ κατέπαιζον αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ, ἀνάβαινε φαλακρὲ, ἀνάβαινε.

And he turned after them, and saw them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And, behold, there came out two bears out of the wood, and they tore forty and two children of them.

Καὶ ἐξένευσεν ὀπίσω αὐτῶν, καὶ εἶδεν αὐτὰ, καὶ κατηράσατο αὐτοῖς ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐξῆλθον δύο ἄρκοι ἐκ τοῦ δρυμοῦ, καὶ ἀνέῤῥηξαν ἀπʼ αὐτῶν τεσσαράκοντα καὶ δύο παῖδας.

And he went thence to mount Carmel, and returned thence to Samaria.

Καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐκεῖθεν εἰς τὸ ὄρος τὸ Καρμήλιον, κᾀκεῖθεν ἐπέστρεψεν εἰς Σαμάρειαν.
