1 A kad Gospod htede uzeti Iliju u vihoru na nebu, pođoše Ilija i Jelisije iz Galgala.
1 When Yahweh was about to take Elijah up by a whirlwind into heaven, Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
2 I reče Ilija Jelisiju: Ostani ti ovde, jer mene Gospod šalje do Vetilja. Ali Jelisije reče: Tako živ bio Gospod i tako živa bila duša tvoja, neću te ostaviti. I dođoše u Vetilj.
2 Elijah said to Elisha, “Please wait here, for Yahweh has sent me as far as Bethel.” Elisha said, “As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel.
3 Tada dođoše k Jelisiju sinovi proročki koji behu u Vetilju i rekoše mu: Znaš li da će danas Gospod uzeti gospodara tvog od tebe? A on reče: Znam, ćutite.
3 The sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, “Do you know that Yahweh will take away your master from over you today?” He said, “Yes, I know it. Hold your peace.”
4 Opet mu reče Ilija: Jelisije, ostani ti tu, jer me Gospod šalje u Jerihon. A on reče: Tako živ bio Gospod i tako živa bila duša tvoja, neću te ostaviti. Tako dođoše u Jerihon.
4 Elijah said to him, “Elisha, please wait here, for Yahweh has sent me to Jericho.” He said, “As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” So they came to Jericho.
5 A sinovi proročki koji behu u Jerihonu pristupiše k Jelisiju, i rekoše mu: Znaš li da će danas uzeti Gospod od tebe gospodara tvog? A on reče: Znam, ćutite.
5 The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came near to Elisha, and said to him, “Do you know that Yahweh will take away your master from over you today?” He answered, “Yes, I know it. Hold your peace.”
6 Opet mu reče Ilija: Ostani ti tu, jer me Gospod šalje na Jordan. A on reče: Tako živ bio Gospod i tako bila živa tvoja duša, neću te ostaviti. Tako otidoše obojica.
6 Elijah said to him, “Please wait here, for Yahweh has sent me to the Jordan.” He said, “As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” Then they both went on.
7 I pedeset ljudi između sinova proročkih otidoše i stadoše prema njima iz daleka, a oni obojica ustaviše se kod Jordana.
7 Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both stood by the Jordan.
8 I uze Ilija plašt svoj, i savivši ga udari njim po vodi, a ona se rastupi tamo i amo, te pređoše obojica suvim.
8 Elijah took his mantle, and rolled it up, and struck the waters; and they were divided here and there, so that they both went over on dry ground.
9 A kad pređoše, reče Ilija Jelisiju: Išti šta hoćeš da ti učinim, dokle se nisam uzeo od tebe. A Jelisije reče: Da budu dva dela duha tvog u mene.
9 When they had gone over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you.” Elisha said, “Please let a double portion of your spirit be on me.”
10 A on mu reče: Zaiskao si tešku stvar; ali ako me vidiš kad se uzmem od tebe, biće ti tako; ako li ne vidiš, neće biti.
10 He said, “You have asked a hard thing. If you see me when I am taken from you, it will be so for you; but if not, it will not be so.”
11 I kad iđahu dalje razgovarajući se, gle, ognjena kola i ognjeni konji rastaviše ih, i Ilija otide u vihoru na nebo.
11 As they continued on and talked, behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
12 A Jelisije videći to vikaše: Oče moj, oče moj! Kola Izrailjeva i konjici njegovi! I ne vide ga više. Potom uze haljine svoje i razdre ih na dva komada.
12 Elisha saw it, and he cried, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” He saw him no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces.
13 I podiže plašt Ilijin, koji beše spao s njega, i vrativši se stade na bregu jordanskom.
13 He also took up Elijah’s mantle that fell from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan.
14 I uzevši plašt Ilijin, koji beše spao s njega, udari po vodi i reče: Gde je Gospod Bog Ilijin? A kad i on udari po vodi, rastupi se voda tamo i amo, i pređe Jelisije.
14 He took Elijah’s mantle that fell from him, and struck the waters, and said, “Where is Yahweh, the God of Elijah?” When he also had struck the waters, they were divided apart, and Elisha went over.
15 A kad s druge strane videše sinovi proročki, koji behu u Jerihonu, rekoše: Počinu duh Ilijin na Jelisiju. I sretoše ga i pokloniše mu se do zemlje.
15 When the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho facing him saw him, they said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.” They came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
16 I rekoše mu: Evo ima u sluga tvojih pedeset junaka, neka idu i traže tvog gospodara, da ga ne bude uzeo duh Gospodnji i bacio ga na kakvo brdo ili u kakav do. A on reče: Ne šaljite.
16 They said to him, “See now, there are with your servants fifty strong men. Please let them go and seek your master. Perhaps Yahweh’s Spirit has taken him up, and put him on some mountain or into some valley.” He said, “Don’t send them.”
17 Ali oni navaljivahu na nj dokle mu se ne dosadi, te reče: Pošaljite. I poslaše pedeset ljudi koji ga tražiše tri dana, ali ne nađoše.
17 When they urged him until he was ashamed, he said, “Send them.” Therefore they sent fifty men; and they searched for three days, but didn’t find him.
18 I vratiše se k njemu, a on beše u Jerihonu, pa im reče: Nisam li vam govorio da ne idete?
18 They came back to him while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you, ‘Don’t go’?”
19 Tada građani rekoše Jelisiju: Gle, dobro je živeti u ovom gradu, kao što gospodar naš vidi; ali je voda zla i zemlja nerodna.
19 The men of the city said to Elisha, “Behold, please, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land is barren.”
20 A on im reče: Donesite mi nov kotao, i metnite u nj soli. I donesoše mu.
20 He said, “Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it.” Then they brought it to him.
21 A on izađe na izvor i baci u nj so, govoreći: Ovako veli Gospod: Iscelih ovu vodu, da ne bude više od nje smrti ni nerodnosti.
21 He went out to the spring of the waters, and threw salt into it, and said, “Yahweh says, ‘I have healed these waters. There shall not be from there any more death or barren wasteland.’”
22 I voda posta zdrava do današnjeg dana po reči Jelisijevoj, koju izreče.
22 So the waters were healed to this day, according to Elisha’s word which he spoke.
23 Potom otide odande u Vetilj; i kad iđaše putem, iziđoše mala deca iz grada i rugahu mu se govoreći mu: Hodi, ćelo! Hodi, ćelo!
23 He went up from there to Bethel. As he was going up by the way, some youths came out of the city and mocked him, and said to him, “Go up, you baldy! Go up, you baldy!”
24 A Jelisije obazre se i videći ih prokle ih imenom Gospodnjim. Tada izađoše dve medvedice iz šume, i rastrgoše četrdeset i dvoje dece.
24 He looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in Yahweh’s name. Then two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of those youths.
25 Odande otide na goru karmilsku, a odande se vrati u Samariju.
25 He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
When God's Prophet Elisha was going up, children called after him mocking, "Go up thou bald head, Go up thou bald head:" but he, not so much in cruelty as in mystery, made those children to be devoured by bears out of the wood. If those children had not been devoured, would they have lived even till now?
