1 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. 2 And Eliu said to Elisaie, Stay here, I pray thee; for God has sent me to Baethel. And Elisaie said, [As] the Lord lives and thy soul lives, I will not leave thee; so they came to Baethel. 3 And the sons of the prophets who were in Baethel 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. 4 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. 5 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. 6 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. 7 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. 8 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. 9 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. 10 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]. 11 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. 12 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. 13 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; 14 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. 15 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. 16 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. 17 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. 18 And they returned to him, for he dwelt in Jericho: and Elisaie said, Did I not say to you, Go not? 19 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. 20 And Elisaie said, Bring me a new pitcher, and put salt in it. And they took [one], and brought [it] to him. 21 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]. 22 And the waters were healed until this day, according to the word of Elisaie which he spoke. 23 And he went up thence to Baethel: 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, bald-head, go up. 24 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. 25 And he went thence to mount Carmel, and returned thence to Samaria.

ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἀνάγειν Κύριον ἐν συσσεισμῷ τὸν ᾿Ηλιοὺ ὡς εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἐπορεύθη ᾿Ηλιοὺ καὶ ῾Ελισαιὲ ἐκ Γαλγάλων. 2 καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ηλιοὺ πρὸς ῾Ελισαιέ· κάθου δὴ ἐνταῦθα, ὅτι Κύριος ἀπέσταλκέ με ἕως Βαιθήλ· καὶ εἶπεν ῾Ελισαιέ· ζῇ Κύριος καὶ ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου, εἰ ἐγκαταλείψω σε· καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Βαιθήλ. 3 καὶ ἦλθον οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν οἱ ἐν Βαιθὴλ πρὸς ῾Ελισαιὲ καὶ εἶπον πρὸς αὐτόν· εἰ ἔγνως, ὅτι Κύριος σήμερον λαμβάνει τὸν κύριόν σου ἐπάνωθεν τῆς κεφαλῆς σου; καὶ εἶπε· κἀγὼ ἔγνωκα, σιωπᾶτε. 4 καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ηλιοὺ πρὸς ῾Ελισαιέ· κάθου δὴ ἐνταῦθα, ὅτι Κύριος ἀπέσταλκέ με εἰς ῾Ιεριχώ· καὶ εἶπεν ῾Ελισαιέ· ζῇ Κύριος καὶ ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου, εἰ ἐγκαταλείψω σε· καὶ ἦλθον εἰς ῾Ιεριχώ. 5 καὶ ἤγγισαν οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν οἱ ἐν ῾Ιεριχὼ πρὸς ῾Ελισαιὲ καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς αὐτόν· εἰ ἔγνως ὅτι σήμερον λαμβάνει Κύριος τὸν κύριόν σου ἐπάνωθεν τῆς κεφαλῆς σου; καὶ εἶπε· καί γε ἐγὼ ἔγνων, σιωπᾶτε. 6 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ᾿Ηλιού· κάθου δὴ ὧδε, ὅτι Κύριος ἀπέσταλκέ με ἕως εἰς τὸν ᾿Ιορδάνην· καὶ εἶπεν ῾Ελισαιέ· ζῇ Κύριος καὶ ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου, εἰ ἐγκαταλείψω σε· καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἀμφότεροι· 7 καὶ πεντήκοντα ἄνδρες υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν καὶ ἔστησαν ἐξεναντίας μακρόθεν· καὶ ἀμφότεροι ἔστησαν ἐπὶ τοῦ ᾿Ιορδάνου. 8 καὶ ἔλαβεν ᾿Ηλιοὺ τὴν μηλωτὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἵλησε καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸ ὕδωρ, καὶ διῃρέθη τὸ ὕδωρ ἔνθα καὶ ἔνθα, καὶ διέβησαν ἀμφότεροι ἐν ἐρήμῳ. 9 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ διαβῆναι αὐτοὺς καὶ ᾿Ηλιοὺ εἶπε πρὸς ῾Ελισαιέ· αἴτησαι τί ποιήσω σοι πρὶν ἢ ἀναληφθῆναί με ἀπὸ σοῦ. καὶ εἶπεν ῾Ελισαιέ· γενηθήτω δὴ διπλᾶ ἐν πνεύματί σου ἐπ᾿ ἐμέ. 10 καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ηλιού· ἐσκλήρυνας τοῦ αἰτήσασθαι· ἐὰν ἴδῃς με ἀναλαμβανόμενον ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ ἔσται σοι οὕτως· καὶ ἐὰν μή, οὐ μὴ γένηται. 11 καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτῶν πορευομένων, ἐπορεύοντο καὶ ἐλάλουν· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἅρμα πυρὸς καὶ ἵπποι πυρὸς καὶ διέστειλαν ἀνὰ μέσον ἀμφοτέρων, καὶ ἀνελήφθη ᾿Ηλιοὺ ἐν συσσεισμῷ ὡς εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν. 12 καὶ ῾Ελισαιὲ ἑώρα καὶ ἐβόα· πάτερ, πάτερ, ἅρμα ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ἱππεὺς αὐτοῦ· καὶ οὐκ εἶδεν αὐτὸν ἔτι καὶ ἐπελάβετο τῶν ἱματίων αὐτοῦ καὶ διέρρηξεν αὐτὰ εἰς δύο ῥήγματα. 13 καὶ ὕψωσε τὴν μηλωτὴν ᾿Ηλιού, ἣ ἔπεσεν ἐπάνωθεν ῾Ελισαιέ, καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν ῾Ελισαιὲ καὶ ἔστη ἐπὶ τοῦ χείλους τοῦ ᾿Ιορδάνου· 14 καὶ ἔλαβε τὴν μηλωτὴν ᾿Ηλιού, ἣ ἔπεσεν ἐπάνωθεν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸ ὕδωρ καὶ οὐ διέστη· καὶ εἶπε· ποῦ ὁ Θεὸς ᾿Ηλιοὺ ἀφφώ; καὶ ἐπάταξε τὰ ὕδατα, καὶ διερράγησαν ἔνθα καὶ ἔνθα, καὶ διέβη ῾Ελισαιέ. 15 καὶ εἶδον αὐτὸν οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν οἱ ἐν ῾Ιεριχὼ ἐξεναντίας καὶ εἶπον· ἐπαναπέπαυται τὸ πνεῦμα ᾿Ηλιοὺ ἐπὶ ῾Ελισαιέ· καὶ ἦλθον εἰς συναντὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ προσεκύνησαν αὐτῷ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν. 16 καὶ εἶπον πρὸς αὐτόν· ἰδοὺ δὴ μετὰ τῶν παίδων σου πεντήκοντα ἄνδρες υἱοὶ δυνάμεως· πορευθέντες δὴ ζητησάτωσαν τὸν κύριόν σου, μή ποτε ᾖρεν αὐτὸν πνεῦμα Κυρίου καὶ ἔρριψεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ ᾿Ιορδάνῃ ἢ ἐφ᾿ ἓν τῶν ὀρέων ἢ ἐφ᾿ ἕνα τῶν βουνῶν. καὶ εἶπεν ῾Ελισαιέ· οὐκ ἀποστελεῖτε. 17 καὶ παρεβιάσαντο αὐτὸν ἕως οὗ ᾐσχύνετο. καὶ εἶπεν· ἀποστείλατε. καὶ ἀπέστειλαν πεντήκοντα ἄνδρας, καὶ ἐζήτησαν τρεῖς ἡμέρας καὶ οὐχ εὗρον αὐτόν. 18 καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐκάθητο ἐν ῾Ιεριχώ, καὶ εἶπεν ῾Ελισαιέ· οὐκ εἶπον πρὸς ὑμᾶς, μὴ πορευθῆτε; 19 καὶ εἶπον οἱ ἄνδρες τῆς πόλεως πρὸς ῾Ελισαιέ· ἰδοὺ ἡ κατοίκησις τῆς πόλεως ἀγαθή, καθὼς ὁ κύριος βλέπει, καὶ τὰ ὕδατα πονηρὰ καὶ ἡ γῆ ἀτεκνουμένη. 20 καὶ εἶπεν ῾Ελισαιέ· λάβετέ μοι ὑδρίσκην καινὴν καὶ θέτε ἐκεῖ ἅλα· καὶ ἔλαβον καὶ ἤνεγκαν πρὸς αὐτόν. 21 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ῾Ελισαιὲ εἰς τὴν διέξοδον τῶν ὑδάτων καὶ ἔρριψεν ἐκεῖ ἅλα καὶ εἶπε· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἴαμαι τὰ ὕδατα, οὐκ ἔσται ἔτι ἐκεῖθεν θάνατος καὶ ἀτεκνουμένη. 22 καὶ ἰάθησαν τὰ ὕδατα ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης κατὰ τὸ ρῆμα ῾Ελισαιέ, ὃ ἐλάλησε. 23 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, φαλακρέ, ἀνάβαινε. 24 καὶ ἐξένευσεν ὀπίσω αὐτῶν καὶ εἶδεν αὐτά, καὶ κατηράσατο αὐτοῖς ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐξῆλθον δύο ἄρκοι ἐκ τοῦ δρυμοῦ καὶ ἀνέρρηξαν ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν τεσσαράκοντα καὶ δύο παῖδας. 25 καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐκεῖθεν εἰς τὸ ὄρος τὸ Καρμήλιον κἀκεῖθεν ἐπέστρεψεν εἰς Σαμάρειαν.
