Elias é elevado ao céu num carro de fogo
2 Sucedeu, pois, que, havendo o Senhor de elevar a Elias num redemoinho ao céu, Elias partiu com Eliseu de Gilgal. 2 E disse Elias a Eliseu: Fica-te aqui, porque o Senhor me enviou a Betel. Porém Eliseu disse: Vive o Senhor, e vive a tua alma, que te não deixarei. E assim foram a Betel. 3 Então, os filhos dos profetas que estavam em Betel saíram a Eliseu e lhe disseram: Sabes que o Senhor, hoje, tomará o teu senhor por de cima da tua cabeça? E ele disse: Também eu bem o sei; calai-vos.
4 E Elias lhe disse: Eliseu, fica-te aqui, porque o Senhor me enviou a Jericó. Porém ele disse: Vive o Senhor, e vive a tua alma, que te não deixarei. E assim vieram a Jericó. 5 Então, os filhos dos profetas que estavam em Jericó se chegaram a Eliseu e lhe disseram: Sabes que o Senhor, hoje, tomará o teu senhor por de cima da tua cabeça? E ele disse: Também eu bem o sei; calai-vos.
6 E Elias disse: Fica-te aqui, porque o Senhor me enviou ao Jordão. Mas ele disse: Vive o Senhor, e vive a tua alma, que te não deixarei. E assim ambos foram juntos. 7 E foram cinquenta homens dos filhos dos profetas e, de longe, pararam defronte; e eles ambos pararam junto ao Jordão. 8 Então Elias tomou a sua capa, e a dobrou, e feriu as águas, as quais se dividiram para as duas bandas; e passaram ambos em seco.
9 Sucedeu, pois, que, havendo eles passado, Elias disse a Eliseu: Pede-me o que queres que te faça, antes que seja tomado de ti. E disse Eliseu: Peço-te que haja porção dobrada de teu espírito sobre mim. 10 E disse: Coisa dura pediste; se me vires quando for tomado de ti, assim se te fará; porém, se não, não se fará. 11 E sucedeu que, indo eles andando e falando, eis que um carro de fogo, com cavalos de fogo, os separou um do outro; e Elias subiu ao céu num redemoinho.
Eliseu, o sucessor de Elias
12 O que vendo Eliseu, clamou: Meu pai, meu pai, carros de Israel e seus cavaleiros! E nunca mais o viu; e, tomando das suas vestes, as rasgou em duas partes. 13 Também levantou a capa de Elias, que lhe caíra; e voltou-se e parou à borda do Jordão. 14 E tomou a capa de Elias, que lhe caíra, e feriu as águas, e disse: Onde está o Senhor, Deus de Elias? Então, feriu as águas, e se dividiram elas para uma e outra banda; e Eliseu passou.
15 Vendo-o, pois, os filhos dos profetas que estavam defronte em Jericó, disseram: O espírito de Elias repousa sobre Eliseu. E vieram-lhe ao encontro e se prostraram diante dele em terra. 16 E disseram-lhe: Eis que, com teus servos, há cinquenta homens valentes; ora, deixa-os ir para buscar teu senhor; pode ser que o elevasse o Espírito do Senhor e o lançasse em algum dos montes ou em algum dos vales. Porém ele disse: Não os envieis. 17 Mas eles apertaram com ele, até se enfastiar; e disse-lhes: Enviai. E enviaram cinquenta homens, que o buscaram três dias, porém não o acharam. 18 Então, voltaram para ele, tendo ele ficado em Jericó; e disse-lhes: Eu não vos disse que não fôsseis?
19 E os homens da cidade disseram a Eliseu: Eis que boa é a habitação desta cidade, como o meu senhor vê; porém as águas são más, e a terra é estéril. 20 E ele disse: Trazei-me uma salva nova e ponde nela sal. E lha trouxeram. 21 Então, saiu ele ao manancial das águas e deitou sal nele; e disse: Assim diz o Senhor: Sararei estas águas; não haverá mais nelas morte nem esterilidade. 22 Ficaram, pois, sãs aquelas águas até ao dia de hoje, conforme a palavra que Eliseu tinha dito.
23 Então, subiu dali a Betel; e, subindo ele pelo caminho, uns rapazes pequenos saíram da cidade, e zombavam dele, e diziam-lhe: Sobe, calvo, sobe, calvo! 24 E, virando-se ele para trás, os viu e os amaldiçoou no nome do Senhor; então, duas ursas saíram do bosque e despedaçaram quarenta e dois daqueles pequenos. 25 E foi-se dali para o monte Carmelo e dali voltou para Samaria.

O SENHOR decide levar Elias
2 Quando se aproximou o momento em que o SENHOR levaria a Elias para o céu num redemoinho, Elias e Eliseu estavam prestes a sair de Gilgal.
2 Elias disse a Eliseu:
—Fique aqui, pois o SENHOR me disse que fosse para Betel.
Mas Eliseu disse:
—Tão certo como o SENHOR existe e como você vive, não me separarei de você.
Então eles foram juntos a Betel.
3 Um grupo de profetas estava em Betel. Eles se encontraram com Eliseu e lhe disseram:
—Sabe que hoje o SENHOR levará o seu mestre?
Eliseu disse:
—Sim, eu sei disso. Calem-se.
4 Elias disse a Eliseu:
—Fique aqui, pois o SENHOR me disse que fosse a Jericó.
Porém, Eliseu disse:
—Tão certo como o SENHOR existe e como você vive, não me separarei de você.
Então os dois foram para Jericó.
5 O grupo de profetas que estava em Jericó se aproximou para ver Eliseu e disseram:
—Você sabe que hoje o SENHOR levará o seu mestre?
Eliseu lhes respondeu:
—Sim, já sei disso, mas não digam nada.
6 Elias disse a Eliseu:
—Por favor, fique aqui, pois o SENHOR me disse que fosse para o rio Jordão.
Eliseu respondeu:
—Tão certo como o SENHOR existe e como você vive, não me separarei de você.
Então os dois foram para o rio Jordão.
7 Cinquenta homens do grupo de profetas os estavam seguindo. Elias e Eliseu pararam à margem do rio Jordão. Os cinquenta homens ficaram a certa distância de Elias e Eliseu. 8 Elias tirou o manto, o dobrou e com ele bateu a água. Então a água do rio se dividiu em duas partes e tanto Elias quanto Eliseu atravessaram o rio caminhando sobre terra seca.
9 Enquanto atravessavam o rio, Elias disse a Eliseu:
—Peça o que quiser que faça por você antes que seja separado de você.
Eliseu declarou:
—Ah, se pudesse receber uma porção dobrada do seu espírito.[a]
10 Elias disse:
—Você pediu uma coisa difícil, mas se conseguir me ver quando eu for separado de você, receberá o que você pediu. Mas se não conseguir me ver, então não receberá o que pediu.
Deus leva Elias para o céu
11 Elias e Eliseu estavam caminhando juntos enquanto conversavam. De repente, um carro puxado por cavalos que pareciam de fogo separou Elias de Eliseu. Elias foi levado ao céu num redemoinho.
12 Ao vê-lo, Eliseu gritou:
—Meu pai, meu pai! Carro de Israel e seus cavalos![b]
Eliseu nunca mais o viu. Então Eliseu rasgou em duas partes a sua roupa. 13 O manto de Elias caiu no chão, então Eliseu o pegou e voltou. Esteve de pé à margem do Jordão, 14 bateu na água com o manto e disse:
—Onde está o SENHOR, o Deus de Elias?
Quando Eliseu bateu na água, o rio se separou em duas partes e Eliseu o atravessou.
15 O grupo de profetas que estava em Jericó viu Eliseu e disse:
—O espírito de Elias agora está em Eliseu!
Eles se aproximaram, se inclinaram diante de Eliseu, 16 e lhe disseram:
—Temos cinquenta homens fortes aqui. Podemos ir e procurar ao seu mestre. Talvez o Espírito do SENHOR levantou a Elias e o lançou por ali, num monte ou num vale.
Mas Eliseu lhes respondeu:
—Não mandem procurar a Elias.
17 Mas tanto rogaram a Eliseu que ele chegou a ficar envergonhado. Então lhes disse:
—Mandem os homens procurar Elias.
O grupo dos profetas mandou os cinquenta homens procurar Elias e o procuraram durante três dias, mas não o encontraram. 18 Então os homens voltaram para Jericó, onde tinha ficado Eliseu, e este lhes disse:
—Eu disse que não fossem.
Eliseu purifica a água
19 Os homens da cidade disseram a Eliseu:
—Como você pode ver, este lugar é agradável, mas a água é ruim, e por isso a terra é estéril.
20 Eliseu lhes disse:
—Tragam para mim um prato fundo novo, e ponham nele sal.
Eles levaram o prato fundo para Eliseu. 21 Então Eliseu saiu para a fonte de água, jogou o sal na água e disse:
—O SENHOR diz: “Purifico esta água e de hoje em diante não produzirá mais a morte nem fará a terra estéril”.
22 A água ficou purificada até hoje, assim como disse Eliseu.
Alguns jovens zombam de Eliseu
23 Eliseu saiu dali para Betel. Enquanto subia o monte para entrar na cidade, alguns jovens que saíam da cidade zombaram dele, dizendo:
—Suba, careca! Suba, careca!
24 Eliseu se virou, os olhou e os amaldiçoou em nome do SENHOR. De repente saíram duas ursas da floresta e os atacaram, despedaçando a quarenta e dois deles.
25 Eliseu saiu de Betel e foi para o monte Carmelo. Dali regressou para Samaria.

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.

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.

Elijah Ascends to Heaven
2 And it came to pass, when the Lord was about to (A)take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with (B)Elisha from Gilgal. 2 Then Elijah said to Elisha, (C)“Stay here, please, for the Lord has sent me on to Bethel.”
But Elisha said, “As the Lord lives, and (D)as your soul lives, I will not leave you!” So they went down to Bethel.
3 Now (E)the sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, “Do you know that the Lord will take away your master [a]from over you today?”
And he said, “Yes, I know; keep silent!”
4 Then Elijah said to him, “Elisha, stay here, please, for the Lord has sent me on to Jericho.”
But he said, “As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you!” So they came to Jericho.
5 Now the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that the Lord will take away your master from over you today?”
So he answered, “Yes, I know; keep silent!”
6 Then Elijah said to him, “Stay here, please, for the Lord has sent me on to the Jordan.”
But he said, “As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you!” So the two of them went on. 7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood facing them at a distance, while the two of them stood by the Jordan. 8 Now Elijah took his mantle, rolled it up, and struck the water; and (F)it was divided this way and that, so that the two of them crossed over on dry (G)ground.
9 And so it was, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?”
Elisha said, “Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.”
10 So he said, “You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so.” 11 Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly (H)a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah (I)went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried out, (J)“My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen!” So he saw him no more. And he took hold of his own clothes and tore them into two pieces. 13 He also took up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan. 14 Then he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the water, and said, “Where is the Lord God of Elijah?” And when he also had struck the water, (K)it was divided this way and that; and Elisha crossed over.
15 Now when the sons of the prophets who were (L)from[b] Jericho saw him, they said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.” And they came to meet him, and bowed to the ground before him. 16 Then they said to him, “Look now, there are fifty strong men with your servants. Please let them go and search for your master, (M)lest perhaps the Spirit of the Lord has taken him up and cast him upon some mountain or into some valley.”
And he said, “You shall not send anyone.”
17 But when they urged him till he was (N)ashamed, he said, “Send them!” Therefore they sent fifty men, and they searched for three days but did not find him. 18 And when they came back to him, for he had stayed in Jericho, he said to them, “Did I not say to you, ‘Do not go’?”
Elisha Performs Miracles
19 Then the men of the city said to Elisha, “Please notice, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the ground barren.”
20 And he said, “Bring me a new bowl, and put salt in it.” So they brought it to him. 21 Then he went out to the source of the water, and (O)cast in the salt there, and said, “Thus says the Lord: ‘I have [c]healed this water; from it there shall be no more death or barrenness.’ ” 22 So the water remains (P)healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.
23 Then he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up the road, some youths came from the city and mocked him, and said to him, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!”
24 So he turned around and looked at them, and (Q)pronounced a curse on them in the name of the Lord. And two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths.
25 Then he went from there to (R)Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
