列王紀下 2
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
以利沙求感以利亞之靈加倍感己
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。 2 以利亞對以利沙說:「耶和華差我往伯特利去,你可以在這裡等候。」以利沙說:「我指著永生的耶和華,又敢在你面前起誓:我必不離開你!」於是二人下到伯特利。 3 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。」 4 以利亞對以利沙說:「耶和華差遣我往耶利哥去,你可以在這裡等候。」以利沙說:「我指著永生的耶和華,又敢在你面前起誓:我必不離開你!」於是二人到了耶利哥。 5 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。」 6 以利亞對以利沙說:「耶和華差遣我往約旦河去,你可以在這裡等候。」以利沙說:「我指著永生的耶和華,又敢在你面前起誓:我必不離開你!」於是二人一同前往。 7 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。 8 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。 9 過去之後,以利亞對以利沙說:「我未曾被接去離開你,你要我為你做什麼,只管求我。」以利沙說:「願感動你的靈加倍地感動我。」 10 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,就必得著,不然必得不著了。」
以利亞乘旋風升天
11 他們正走著說話,忽有火車火馬將二人隔開,以利亞就乘旋風升天去了。 12 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。 13 他拾起以利亞身上掉下來的外衣,回去站在約旦河邊。 14 他用以利亞身上掉下來的外衣打水,說:「耶和華以利亞的神在哪裡呢?」打水之後,水也左右分開,以利沙就過來了。
先知徒遣人尋以利亞三日弗遇
15 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, 16 對他說:「僕人們這裡有五十個壯士,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。」 17 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,也沒有找著。 18 以利沙仍然在耶利哥,等候他們回到他那裡,他對他們說:「我豈沒有告訴你們不必去嗎?」
以利沙在耶利哥行奇事
19 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。」 20 以利沙說:「你們拿一個新瓶來,裝鹽給我。」他們就拿來給他。 21 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。」 22 於是那水治好了,直到今日,正如以利沙所說的。
23 以利沙從那裡上伯特利去。正上去的時候,有些童子從城裡出來,戲笑他說:「禿頭的,上去吧!禿頭的,上去吧!」 24 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。 25 以利沙從伯特利上迦密山,又從迦密山回到撒馬利亞。
2 Kings 2
King James Version
2 And it came to pass, when the Lord would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
2 And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said unto him, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel.
3 And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.
4 And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.
5 And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.
6 And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the Lord hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on.
7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan.
8 And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground.
9 And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
10 And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.
11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
13 He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;
14 And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the Lord God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.
15 And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
16 And they said unto him, Behold now, there be with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master: lest peradventure the Spirit of the Lord hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send.
17 And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not.
18 And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho,) he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not?
19 And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren.
20 And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.
21 And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land.
22 So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake.
23 And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.
25 And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
2 Kings 2
New International Version
Elijah Taken Up to Heaven
2 When the Lord was about to take(A) Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind,(B) Elijah and Elisha(C) were on their way from Gilgal.(D) 2 Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here;(E) the Lord has sent me to Bethel.”
But Elisha said, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.”(F) So they went down to Bethel.
3 The company(G) of the prophets at Bethel came out to Elisha and asked, “Do you know that the Lord is going to take your master from you today?”
“Yes, I know,” Elisha replied, “so be quiet.”
4 Then Elijah said to him, “Stay here, Elisha; the Lord has sent me to Jericho.(H)”
And he replied, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went to Jericho.
5 The company(I) of the prophets at Jericho went up to Elisha and asked him, “Do you know that the Lord is going to take your master from you today?”
“Yes, I know,” he replied, “so be quiet.”
6 Then Elijah said to him, “Stay here;(J) the Lord has sent me to the Jordan.”(K)
And he replied, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.”(L) So the two of them walked on.
7 Fifty men from the company of the prophets went and stood at a distance, facing the place where Elijah and Elisha had stopped at the Jordan. 8 Elijah took his cloak,(M) rolled it up and struck(N) the water with it. The water divided(O) to the right and to the left, and the two of them crossed over on dry(P) ground.
9 When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken from you?”
“Let me inherit a double(Q) portion of your spirit,”(R) Elisha replied.
10 “You have asked a difficult thing,” Elijah said, “yet if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be yours—otherwise, it will not.”
11 As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire(S) and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven(T) in a whirlwind.(U) 12 Elisha saw this and cried out, “My father! My father! The chariots(V) and horsemen of Israel!” And Elisha saw him no more. Then he took hold of his garment and tore(W) it in two.
13 Elisha then picked up Elijah’s cloak that had fallen from him and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan. 14 He took the cloak(X) that had fallen from Elijah and struck(Y) the water with it. “Where now is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” he asked. When he struck the water, it divided to the right and to the left, and he crossed over.
15 The company(Z) of the prophets from Jericho, who were watching, said, “The spirit(AA) of Elijah is resting on Elisha.” And they went to meet him and bowed to the ground before him. 16 “Look,” they said, “we your servants have fifty able men. Let them go and look for your master. Perhaps the Spirit(AB) of the Lord has picked him up(AC) and set him down on some mountain or in some valley.”
“No,” Elisha replied, “do not send them.”
17 But they persisted until he was too embarrassed(AD) to refuse. So he said, “Send them.” And they sent fifty men, who searched for three days but did not find him. 18 When they returned to Elisha, who was staying in Jericho, he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you not to go?”
Healing of the Water
19 The people of the city said to Elisha, “Look, our lord, this town is well situated, as you can see, but the water is bad and the land is unproductive.”
20 “Bring me a new bowl,” he said, “and put salt in it.” So they brought it to him.
21 Then he went out to the spring and threw(AE) the salt into it, saying, “This is what the Lord says: ‘I have healed this water. Never again will it cause death or make the land unproductive.’” 22 And the water has remained pure(AF) to this day, according to the word Elisha had spoken.
Elisha Is Jeered
23 From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered(AG) at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” 24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse(AH) on them in the name(AI) of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys. 25 And he went on to Mount Carmel(AJ) and from there returned to Samaria.
