RIV

NIV

8 Allora Elia prese il suo mantello, lo rotolò, e percosse le acque, le quali si divisero di qua e di là, in guisa che passarono ambedue a piedi asciutti.
8 Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up and struck the water with it. The water divided to the right and to the left, and the two of them crossed over on dry ground.
9 E, passati che furono, Elia disse ad Eliseo: "Chiedi quello che vuoi ch’io faccia per te, prima ch’io ti sia tolto". Eliseo rispose: "Ti prego, siami data una parte doppia del tuo spirito!"
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 portion of your spirit,” Elisha replied.
10 Elia disse: "Tu domandi una cosa difficile; nondimeno, se tu mi vedi quando io ti sarò rapito, ti sarà dato quello che chiedi; ma se non mi vedi, non ti sarà dato".
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 E com’essi continuavano a camminare discorrendo assieme, ecco un carro di fuoco e de’ cavalli di fuoco che li separarono l’uno dall’altro, ed Elia salì al cielo in un turbine.
11 As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.
12 E Eliseo lo vide e si mise a gridare: "Padre mio, padre mio! Carro d’Israele e sua cavalleria!" Poi non lo vide più. E, afferrate le proprie vesti, le strappò in due pezzi;
12 Elisha saw this and cried out, “My father! My father! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!” And Elisha saw him no more. Then he took hold of his garment and tore it in two.
13 e raccolse il mantello ch’era caduto di dosso ad Elia, tornò indietro, e si fermò sulla riva del Giordano.
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 E, preso il mantello ch’era caduto di dosso ad Elia, percosse le acque, e disse: "Dov’è l’Eterno, l’Iddio d’Elia?" E quando anch’egli ebbe percosse le acque, queste si divisero di qua e di là, ed Eliseo passò.
14 He took the cloak that had fallen from Elijah and struck 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 Quando i discepoli dei profeti che stavano a Gerico di faccia al Giordano ebbero visto Eliseo, dissero: "Lo spirito d’Elia s’è posato sopra Eliseo". E gli si fecero incontro, s’inchinarono fino a terra davanti a lui,
15 The company of the prophets from Jericho, who were watching, said, “The spirit of Elijah is resting on Elisha.” And they went to meet him and bowed to the ground before him.
16 e gli dissero: "Ecco qui tra i tuoi servi cinquanta uomini robusti: lascia che vadano in cerca del tuo signore, se mai lo spirito dell’Eterno l’avesse preso e gettato su qualche monte o in qualche valle". Eliseo rispose: "Non li mandate".
16 “Look,” they said, “we your servants have fifty able men. Let them go and look for your master. Perhaps the Spirit of the LORD has picked him up and set him down on some mountain or in some valley.” “No,” Elisha replied, “do not send them.”
17 Ma insistettero tanto, presso di lui, ch’ei ne fu confuso, e disse: "Mandateli". Allora quelli mandarono cinquanta uomini, i quali cercarono Elia per tre giorni, e non lo trovarono.
17 But they persisted until he was too embarrassed to refuse. So he said, “Send them.” And they sent fifty men, who searched for three days but did not find him.
18 E quando furono tornati a lui, che s’era fermato a Gerico, egli disse loro: "Non vi avevo io detto di non andare?"
18 When they returned to Elisha, who was staying in Jericho, he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you not to go?”
