列王纪下 2
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
以利亞被接升天
2 耶和華將要用旋風接以利亞往天上去的時候,以利亞和以利沙一起離開吉甲。 2 以利亞對以利沙說:“你留在這裡吧,因為耶和華差派我到伯特利去。”以利沙說:“我指著永活的耶和華和你的性命起誓:我必不離開你。”於是他們下到伯特利去。 3 在伯特利的先知門徒出來見以利沙,對他說:“你知道今天耶和華要接你的老師離開你嗎?”他說:“我已經知道了,你們別再多說。” 4 以利亞對以利沙說:“你留在這裡吧,因為耶和華差派我往耶利哥。”他說:“我指著永活的耶和華和你的性命起誓:我必不離開你。”於是他們來到耶利哥。 5 在耶利哥的先知門徒前來見以利沙,對他說:“你知道今天耶和華要接你的老師離開你嗎?”他說:“我已經知道了,你們別再多說。” 6 以利亞對他說:“你留在這裡吧,因為耶和華差派我往約旦河去。”以利沙說:“我指著永活的耶和華和你的性命起誓:我必不離開你。”於是他們二人繼續前行。
7 先知門徒中有五十人跟著他們,遠遠地站在他們對面;他們二人在約旦河河邊站著。 8 以利亞拿著自己的外衣,把它捲起,擊打河水,河水就左右分開,他們二人就在乾地上走過去了。 9 他們過去之後,以利亞對以利沙說:“在我沒有被接離開你以先,我可以為你作些甚麼,你儘管求吧!”以利沙說:“求你使你的靈雙倍地臨到我。” 10 以利亞說:“你所求的是一件難事,不過我被接離開你的時候,如果你看見我,就必得著,否則就得不著了。” 11 他們邊走邊談的時候,忽然,有火車火馬把他們二人分開,以利亞就在旋風中被接往天上去了。 12 以利沙看見,就喊叫:“我父!我父!以色列的戰車馬兵啊!”跟著就不再看見他了。以利沙抓住自己的衣服,把它撕成兩片。 13 他拾起以利亞身上掉下來的外衣,就回去,站在約旦河河邊。 14 他拿著從以利亞身上掉下來的外衣,擊打河水,說:“耶和華以利亞的 神在哪裡呢?”他一擊打河水,河水就左右分開,以利沙就走過去了。
15 那些耶利哥的先知門徒在遠處看見,就說:“以利亞的靈在以利沙身上了。”他們就來迎接他,俯伏在地拜他。 16 他們對他說:“請看,你的僕人這裡有五十個壯士;請讓他們去尋找你的老師,或者耶和華的靈把他提去,丟在某一座山上,或某一處山谷裡。”以利沙說:“你們不必派人去了。” 17 他們懇求他,使他不好意思推辭,於是他說:“你們派人去吧。”他們就派出五十個人,尋覓了三天,仍然找不著。 18 於是他們回到以利沙那裡;那時,他還停留在耶利哥,他對他們說:“我不是告訴了你們不必去的嗎?”
以利沙治好耶利哥惡劣的水
19 那城的人對以利沙說:“請看這城的地勢很好,老師你也看見,可惜水惡劣,以致此地沒有出產。” 20 以利沙說:“給我拿一個新碗來,裡面要盛點鹽。”他們就把碗拿給他。 21 他就出去到水源那裡,把鹽倒在那裡,然後說:“耶和華這樣說:‘我已經醫好了這水,從此不再有人死亡,地也不再沒有出產了。’” 22 那水果然治好了,直到今日,正如以利沙所說的話。
23 以利沙從那裡上伯特利去,正沿路上去的時候,從城裡有一班年輕人走出來,譏笑他,說:“禿頭的上去吧!禿頭的上去吧!” 24 以利沙回頭看著他們,奉耶和華的名咒詛他們。於是有兩隻母熊從樹林裡走出來,撕裂了他們中間四十二個年輕人。 25 以利沙從那裡上迦密山,又從迦密山回到撒瑪利亞。
2 Kings 2
New Life Version
Elijah Is Taken Up to Heaven
2 When the Lord was about to take Elijah up to heaven by a wind-storm, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal. 2 Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here, I ask you. For the Lord has sent me as far as Bethel.” But Elisha said, “As the Lord lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel. 3 Then the sons of the men who spoke for God at Bethel came out to Elisha. They said to him, “Do you know that the Lord will take Elijah from you today?” And he said, “Yes, I know. Say no more.” 4 Elijah said to him, “Elisha, I ask you to stay here. For the Lord has sent me to Jericho.” But Elisha said, “As the Lord lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they came to Jericho. 5 The sons of the men who spoke for God at Jericho came to Elisha. They said to him, “Do you know that the Lord will take Elijah from you today?” And he answered, “Yes, I know. Say no more.” 6 Then Elijah said to him, “I ask you to stay here. For the Lord has sent me to the Jordan.” And Elisha said, “As the Lord lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them went on.
7 Now fifty sons of the men who tell what will happen in the future went and stood on the other side of the Jordan River a long way off from the two of them who were standing by the Jordan. 8 Then Elijah took his coat and rolled it up and hit the water. And the water divided to one side and to the other, so the two of them crossed the Jordan on dry ground. 9 When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I should do for you before I am taken from you.” And Elisha said, “I ask you, let twice the share of your spirit be upon me.” 10 Elijah said, “You have asked a hard thing. But if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be given to you. But if not, it will not be so.” 11 As they went on and talked, a war-wagon of fire and horses of fire came between them. And Elijah went up by a wind-storm to heaven. 12 Elisha saw it and cried out, “My father, my father, the war-wagon of Israel and its horsemen!” And he saw Elijah no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces. 13 He picked up Elijah’s coat that had fallen from him. And he returned and stood by the side of the Jordan. 14 He took Elijah’s coat that fell from him, and hit the water and said, “Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” When he hit the water, it was divided to one side and to the other, and Elisha crossed the Jordan.
15 The sons of the men who tell what will happen in the future at Jericho saw him. And they said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.” They came to meet him and bowed to the ground in front of him. 16 They said to him, “Now see, there are fifty strong men with your servants. Let them go and look for your teacher. It might be that the Spirit of the Lord has taken him up and put him down on some mountain or into some valley.” And Elisha said, “Do not send them.” 17 But they talked to him until he was ashamed, and he said, “Send them.” So they sent fifty men to look for Elijah. But after three days they did not find him. 18 They returned to Elisha while he was staying at Jericho. And he said to them, “Did I not tell you, ‘Do not go’?”
Powerful Works of Elisha
19 Then the men of the city said to Elisha, “See, it is pleasing to live in this city, as my lord sees. But the water is bad. And the land does not bring fruit.” 20 Elisha said, “Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it.” So they brought it to him. 21 Then he went out to the well of water and threw salt into it, and said, “This is what the Lord says, ‘I have made this water pure. It will not cause death or loss of fruit any more.’” 22 So the water has been pure to this day, just as Elisha said.
23 Then he left there and went to Bethel. On the way, some young boys came out from the city and made fun of him. They said to him, “Go up, you man with no hair! Go up, you man with no hair!” 24 He looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two female bears came from among the trees and tore up forty-two of the boys. 25 Elisha went from there to Mount Carmel, then 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.
