1And it came to pass, when the Lord would take up Elias, into heaven, by a whirlwind, that Elias and Eliseus were going from Galgal.Or egli avvenne, che volendo il Signore rapire al cielo Elia in un turbine, si partirono Elia, ed Eliseo da Gàlgala.AND it came to passe, when our Lord would take vp Elias by a hurle winde into heauen, Elias and Eliseus went from Galgal.Factum est autem cum levare vellet Dominus Eliam per turbinem in cælum, ibant Elias et Eliseus de Galgalis. 2And Elias said to Eliseus: Stay thou here, because the Lord hath sent me as far as Bethel. And Eliseus said to him: As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And when they were come down to Bethel,Ed Elia disse ad Eliseo: Fermati qui; perocché il Signore mi manda Bethel. Ed Eliseo a lui disse: Viva il Signore, e viva l'anima tua: io non ti lascerò. E quando furono giunti a Bethel,And Elias sayd to Eliseus: Sitte here, because our Lord hath sent me as far as Bethel. To whom Eliseus sayd: Our Lord liueth, and thy soule liueth, I wil not leaue thee. And when he was come downe to Bethel,Dixitque Elias ad Eliseum: Sede hic, quia Dominus misit me usque in Bethel. Cui ait Eliseus: Vivit Dominus, et vivit anima tua, quia non derelinquam te. Cumque descendissent Bethel, 3The sons of the prophets, that were at Bethel, came forth to Eliseus, and said to him: Dost thou know that, this day, the Lord will take away thy master from thee? And he answered: I also know it: hold your peace.Andarono a trovar Eliseo i figliuoli de' profeti, che erano a Bethel, e gli dissero: Non sai tu come oggi il Signore ti torrà il tuo padrone? Ed ei rispose: Io pur lo so: non parlatethe children of the prophetes, that were in Bethel, went forth to Eliseus, and sayd to him: Doest thou know, that this day our Lord wil take thy maister from thee? Who answered: I also know it: hold your peace.egressi sunt filii prophetarum qui erant in Bethel, ad Eliseum, et dixerunt ei: Numquid nosti quia hodie Dominus tollet dominum tuum a te ? Qui respondit: Et ego novi: silete. 4And Elias said to Eliseus: Stay here, because the Lord hath sent me to Jericho. And he said: As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And when they were come to Jericho,Or Elia disse ad Eliseo: Fermati qui; perocché il Signore mi manda a Gerico. E quegli disse: Viva il Signore, e viva l'anima tua; io non ti lascerò. E giunti che furono a Gerico,And Elias sayd to Eliseus: Sitte here, because our Lord hath sent me into Iericho. And he sayd: Our Lord liueth, & thy soule liueth, I wil not leaue thee. And when they were come to Iericho,Dixit autem Elias ad Eliseum: Sede hic, quia Dominus misit me in Jericho. Et ille ait: Vivit Dominus, et vivit anima tua, quia non derelinquam te. Cumque venissent Jericho, 5The sons of the prophets, that were at Jericho, came to Eliseus, and said to him: Dost thou know that, this day, the Lord will take away thy master from thee? And he said: I also know it: hold your peace.I figliuoli de' profeti, che erano a Gerico, si accostarono ad Eliseo, e gli dissero: Non sai tu, che oggi il Signore ti torrà il tuo padrone? Ed egli disse: Io pur lo so: non parlate.the children of the prophetes, that were in Iericho, came to Eliseus, and sayd to him: Doest thou know that this day our Lord wil take away thy maister from thee? And he sayd: I also know it, hold your peace.accesserunt filii prophetarum qui erant in Jericho, ad Eliseum, et dixerunt ei: Numquid nosti quia Dominus hodie tollet dominum tuum a te ? Et ait: Ego novi: silete.

6And Elias said to him: Stay here, because the Lord hath sent me as far as the Jordan. And he said: as the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on together.Or Elia disse a lui: Fermati qui: perocché il Signore mi manda sino al Giordano. Ed ei rispose: Viva il Signore, e viva l'anima tua; io non ti lascerò. Andarono adunque ambedue insieme.And Elias sayd to him: Sitte here, because our Lord hath sent me as farre as Iordan. Who sayd: Our Lord liueth, and thy soule liueth, I wil not leaue thee: They went therfore both together,Dixit autem ei Elias: Sede hic, quia Dominus misit me usque ad Jordanem. Qui ait: Vivit Dominus, et vivit anima tua, quia non derelinquam te. Ierunt igitur ambo pariter, 7And fifty men, of the sons of the prophets, followed them, and stood in sight, at a distance: but they two stood by the Jordan.E andaron dietro a loro cinquanta uomini de' figliuoli dei profeti, i quali si fermarono in vista di essi da lontano: e quelli stavano ambedue sulla riva del Giordano.& fiftie men of the children of the prophetes folowed them, who also stood ouer agaynst them, farre of: but they two stood vpon Iordan.et quinquaginta viri de filiis prophetarum secuti sunt eos, qui et steterunt e contra, longe: illi autem ambo stabant super Jordanem. 8And Elias took his mantle, and folded it together, and struck the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, and they both passed over on dry ground.Ed Elia prese il suo pallio, e lo ripiegò, e percosse le acque, le quali si divisero in due parti, e passarono ambedue a piedi asciutti.And Elias tooke his mantel, and folded it together, and smote the waters, which were diuided into two partes, and they both passed ouer by the drie land.Tulitque Elias pallium suum, et involvit illud, et percussit aquas: quæ divisæ sunt in utramque partem, et transierunt ambo per siccum. 9And when they were gone over, Elias said to Eliseus: Ask what thou wilt have me to do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Eliseus said: I beseech thee, that in me may be thy double spirit.E passati che furono, disse Elia ad Eliseo: Chiedi quello, che vuoi, ch'io faccia per te, prima ch'io ti sia tolto. E disse Eliseo: Prego, che sia in me il doppio tuo spirito.And when they were ouer, Elias sayd to Eliseus: Aske what thou wilt haue me to doe for thee, before I be taken from thee. And Eliseus sayd: I besech thee that in me may be thy duble spirit.Cumque transissent, Elias dixit ad Eliseum: Postula quod vis ut faciam tibi, antequam tollar a te. Dixitque Eliseus: Obsecro ut fiat in me duplex spiritus tuus.

10And he answered: Thou hast asked a hard thing; nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, thou shalt have what thou hast asked: but if thou see me not, thou shalt not have it.E quegli rispose a lui: Hai domandata una cosa difficile: con tutto ciò se tu mi vedrai, quand'io sarò rapito a te, ti sarà dato quello, che chiedi: se poi non mi vedrai, non l'avrai.who answered: Thou hast asked a hard thing: Neuerthelesse if thou see me, when I shal be taken from thee, thou shalt haue that thou hast asked: but if thou see me not, thou shalt not haue it.Qui respondit: Rem difficilem postulasti: attamen si videris me quando tollar a te, erit tibi quod petisti: si autem non videris, non erit. 11And as they went on, walking and talking together, behold, a fiery chariot and fiery horses parted them both asunder: and Elias went up by a whirlwind into heaven.E mentre andavano innanzi, e camminando discorrevano insieme, subitamente un cocchio di fuoco con cavalli di fuoco separarono l'uno dall'altro; ed Elia salì al cielo in un turbine.And when they went forward, and going talked together, behold a fyrie chariote, and fyrie horses parted them two asunder: and Elias ascended by a hurle winde into heauen.Cumque pergerent, et incedentes sermocinarentur, ecce currus igneus, et equi ignei diviserunt utrumque: et ascendit Elias per turbinem in cælum. 12And Eliseus saw him, and cried: My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the driver thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own garments, and rent them in two pieces.Ed Eliseo vedeva, e gridava: Padre mio, padre mio: cocchio d'Israele, e suo cocchiere. E più noi vide; e, prese le sue vesti, le spezzò in due parti.And Eliseus saw him, and cried: My father, my father, the chariote of Israel, and the guider therof. And he saw him no more: and he tooke his garmentes, and rent them in two peeces.Eliseus autem videbat, et clamabat: Pater mi, pater mi, currus Israël, et auriga ejus. Et non vidit eum amplius: apprehenditque vestimenta sua, et scidit illa in duas partes. 13And he took up the mantle of Elias, that fell from him: and going back, he stood on the bank of the Jordan;E raccolse il pallio di Elia, che gli era caduto; e tornato indietro si fermò sulla riva del Giordano,And he tooke vp the mantel of Elias, that was fallen to him: and returning he stood vpon the banke of Iordan,Et levavit pallium Eliæ, quod ceciderat ei: reversusque stetit super ripam Jordanis, 14And he struck the waters with the mantle of Elias, that had fallen from him, and they were not divided. And he said: Where is now the God of Elias? And he struck the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, and Eliseus passed over.E col pallio, che era caduto ad Elia, percosse le acque, le quali non si divisero, ed egli disse: Dov' è anche adesso il Dio di Elia? E percosse le acque, e si spartirono di qua, e di là, ed Eliseo passò.and with the mantel of Elias, that fel downe to him, he smote the waters, and they were not diuided. And he sayd: Where is the God of Elias, now also? and he smote the waters, and they were diuided this way and that way, and Eliseus passed ouer.et pallio Eliæ, quod ceciderat ei, percussit aquas, et non sunt divisæ: et dixit: Ubi est Deus Eliæ etiam nunc ? Percussitque aquas, et divisæ sunt huc atque illuc, et transiit Eliseus.

15And the sons of the prophets, at Jericho, who were over against him, seeing it, said: The spirit of Elias hath rested upon Eliseus. And coming to meet him, they worshipped him, falling to the ground.E avendo ciò veduto i figliuoli de' profeti venuti da Gerico, che stavano dirimpetto, dissero: Lo spirito di Elia si è posato sopra Eliseo. E andatigli incontro, se gli inchinarono fino a terra,And the children of the prophetes, that were in Iericho, ouer agaynst him seing him, sayd: The spirit of Elias hath rested vpon Eliseus. And coming to meete him, adored him flatte to the ground,Videntes autem filii prophetarum qui erant in Jericho e contra, dixerunt: Requievit spiritus Eliæ super Eliseum. Et venientes in occursum ejus, adoraverunt eum proni in terram, 16And they said to him: Behold, there are with thy servants, fifty strong men, that can go, and seek thy master, lest, perhaps, the spirit of the Lord, hath taken him up and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said: Do not send.E gli dissero: Ecco qui tra' tuoi servi cinquanta uomini robusti, i quali potranno andar in cerca del tuo padrone, se mai lo Spirito del Signore lo avesse preso, e gettatolo su qualche monte, o in qualche valle. Ed egli disse: Non li mandate.and they sayd to him: Behold, there are with thy seruantes fiftie strong men, that can goe, and seeke thy maister, lest perhaps the spirit of our Lord hath taken him, and cast him vpon one of the mountaines, or into one of the valleis. Who sayd: Send not.dixeruntque illi: Ecce cum servis tuis sunt quinquaginta viri fortes qui possunt ire, et quærere dominum tuum, ne forte tulerit eum spiritus Domini, et projecerit eum in unum montium, aut in unam vallium. Qui ait: Nolite mittere. 17But they pressed him, till he consented, and said: Send. And they sent fifty men: and they sought three days, but found him not.E lo pressarono fino a tanto che si arrendette, e disse: Mandate. E mandarono i cinquanta uomini, i quali avendolo cercato per tre giorni, noi trovarono.And they forced him, til he agreed, and sayd: Send. And they sent fiftie men Who when they had sought three daies, found not.Coëgeruntque eum donec acquiesceret, et diceret: Mittite. Et miserunt quinquaginta viros: qui cum quæsissent tribus diebus, non invenerunt. 18And they came back to him: for he abode at Jericho, and he said to them: Did I not say to you? Do not send.E quelli tornarono a lui: ed egli si stava in Gerico, e disse loro: Non vi diss'io: Non mandate?And they returned to him: but he dwelt in Iericho, and he sayd to them: Did I not say to you: Send not?Et reversi sunt ad eum: at ille habitabat in Jericho, et dixit eis: Numquid non dixi vobis: Nolite mittere ?

19And the men of the city, said to Eliseus: Behold the situation of this city is very good, as thou, my lord, seest: but the waters are very bad, and the ground barren.Or gli uomini di quella città dissero ad Eliseo: Tu vedi come il soggiorno di questa città è buonissimo, come tu stesso il conosci, o signore; ma le acque son cattivissime, e la terra è sterile.The men also of the citie sayd to Eliseus: Behold the habitation of this citie is verie good, as thy selfe my lord perceiuest: but the waters are very il, and the ground barren.Dixerunt quoque viri civitatis ad Eliseum: Ecce habitatio civitatis hujus optima est, sicut tu ipse, domine, perspicis: sed aquæ pessimæ sunt, et terra sterilis. 20And he said: Bring me a new vessel, and put salt into it. And when they had brought it,E quegli disse: Portatemi un vaso nuovo, e mettetevi del sale. E quando gli l'ebbero portato,But he sayd: Fetch me a new vessel, and put salt into it. Which when they had brought,At ille ait: Afferte mihi vas novum, et mittite in illud sal. Quod cum attulissent, 21He went out to the spring of the waters, and cast the salt into it, and said: Thus saith the Lord: I have healed these waters, and there shall be no more in them death or barrenness.Andò egli alla sorgiva delle acque, e gettovvi il sale, e disse: Queste cose dice il Signore: Io ho sanate queste acque, ed esse non saran più causa di morte, né di sterilità.going out to the fountayne of the waters, he cast salt into it, and sayd: Thus sayth our Lord: I haue amended these waters, and death shal no more be in them, nor barrennesse.egressus ad fontem aquarum misit in illum sal, et ait: Hæc dicit Dominus: Sanavi aquas has, et non erit ultra in eis mors, neque sterilitas. 22And the waters were healed unto this day, according to the word of Eliseus, which he spoke.Restarono adunque sane quelle acque per sino al dì d'oggi, secondo la parola detta da Eliseo.The waters therfore were amended vntil this day, according to the word of Eliseus, which he spake.Sanatæ sunt ergo aquæ usque in diem hanc, juxta verbum Elisei quod locutus est. 23And he went up from thence to Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, little boys came out of the city and mocked him, saying: Go up, thou bald head, go up, thou bald head.Ed egli di là andò a Bethel; e mentre egli era per istrada, uscirono dalla città dei piccoli ragazzi, i quali lo beffeggiavano, dicendo: Vien su, o calvo, vien su, o calvo.And from thence he went vp into Bethel: & when he went vp by the way, little laddes came forth out of the citie, and mocked him, saying: Come vp baldhead, come vp baldhead.Ascendit autem inde in Bethel: cumque ascenderet per viam, pueri parvi egressi sunt de civitate, et illudebant ei, dicentes: Ascende calve, ascende calve.

24And looking back, he saw them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord: and there came forth two bears out of the forest, and tore of them, two and forty boys.Ed egli voltati gli occhi li vide, e li maledisse nel nome del Signore; e usciron due orsi dalla boscaglia, i quali sbranarono quarantadue di que' ragazzi.Who when he had looked backe, he saw them, & cursed them in the name of our Lord: and two beares came forth out of the forest, & tore of them two and fourtie boyes.Qui cum respexisset, vidit eos, et maledixit eis in nomine Domini: egressique sunt duo ursi de saltu, et laceraverunt ex eis quadraginta duos pueros. 25And from thence he went to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.Ed egli di là andò sul monte Carmelo, e indi tornossene a Samaria.and from thence he went into the mount of Carmel, and from thence he turned into Samaria.Abiit autem inde in montem Carmeli, et inde reversus est in Samariam.
