2 Manghai 5

1 Aram manghai kah caempuei mangpa Naaman tah a boei mikhmuh ah hlang len la om. BOEIPA loh anih soah Aram ham loeihnah te a paek dongah a maelhmai khaw cawkdawk. Tekah hlang te tatthai hlangrhalh la om dae boeih pahuk.

Now Naiman, the captain of the host of Syria, was a great man before his master, and highly respected, because by him the Lord had given deliverance to Syria, and the man was mighty in strength, [but] a leper.

2 Aram caem a caeh vaengah Israel kho lamkah hula ca a sol uh tih Naaman yuu kah mikhmuh ah a om pah.

And the Syrians went forth in small bands, and took captive out of the land of Israel a little maid: and she waited on Naiman's wife.

3 A boeinu taengah te, “Ka boei he Samaria kah tonghma mikhmuh ah koinih a hmaibae he amah la a toi sue,” a ti nah.

And she said to her mistress, O that my lord were before the prophet of God in Samaria; then he would recover him from his leprosy.

4 Cet tih a boei te a voek phoeiah Israel kho kah hula loh a thui te heben hebang la a thui pah.

And she went in and told her lord, and said, Thus and thus spoke the maid from the land of Israel.

5 Aram manghai loh, “Cet lamtah paan laeh. Israel manghai taengah ca ka pat bitni,” a ti nah. Te dongah cet tih a kut dongah cak talent parha, sui thawng rhuk, thovaelnah himbai yung rha a khuen.

And the king of Syria said to Naiman, Go to, go, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he went, and took in his hand ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.

6 Cabu te Israel manghai taengla a khuen tih, “Ca he nang taengla ha pawk coeng, ka sal Naaman te nang taengla kan tueih ne. Te dongah anih kah hmaibae te amah la toi pah mai,” a ti nah.

And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now then, as soon as this letter shall reach you, behold, I have sent to you my servant Naiman, and you shall recover him from his leprosy.

7 Ca te Israel manghai loh a tae van neh a himbai te a phen tih, “Duek sak ham neh hing sak ham khaw kai he Pathen a? Hlang kah a hmaibae toi pah ham kai taengla he he ham pat. Te dongah rhep ming uh laeh lamtah anih loh kai taengah a hong te hmu uh,” a ti.

And it came to pass, when the king of Israel read the letter, [that] he tore his garments, and said, [Am] I God, to kill and to make alive, that this [man] sends to me to recover a man of his leprosy? consider, however, I pray you, and see that this [man] seeks an occasion against me.

8 Israel manghai loh a himbai a phen te Pathen kah hlang Elisha loh a yaak. Te dongah manghai te a tah tih, “Balae tih na himbai na phen? Kai taengah lo pawn saeh lamtah Israel ah tonghma a om te ming saeh,” a ti nah.

And it came to pass, when Elisaie heard that the king of Israel had tore his garments, that he sent to the king of Israel, saying, Therefore have you tore your garments? Let Naiman, I pray you, come to me, and let him know that there is a prophet in Israel.

9 Te dongah Naaman te a marhang neh cet tih a marhang khaw, a leng khaw Elisha im kah thohka ah a pai pah.

So Naiman came with horse and chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisaie.

10 Te vaengah Elisha loh a taengla puencawn a tueih pah tih,” Cet lamtah Jordan ah voei rhih sil uh. Na saa te maat vetih nang ham caihcil bitni,” a ti nah.

And Elisaie sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash seven times in Jordan, and your flesh shall return to you, and you shall be cleansed.

11 Tedae Naaman te a thintoek neh cet tih, “'Kai taengla ha mop khaw ha mop mai vetih a pai doela a Pathen BOEIPA ming te a khue moko. A kut neh a hma he a yuh mai vetih aka pahuk he a toi mako,’ ka ti ne.

And Naiman was angry, and departed, and said, Behold, I said, He will by all means come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of his God, and lay his hand upon the place, and recover the leper.

12 Amanah kah Abana neh Damasku kah Pharpar tuiva he Israel tui boeih lakah a then moenih a? Te rhoek ah ka sil uh cakhaw ka caihcil mahpawt a?” a ti. Te phoeiah mael tih kosi neh cet.

[Are] not the Abana and Pharphar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not go and wash in them, and be cleansed? and he turned and went away in a rage.

13 Tedae Naaman sal rhoek te thoeih uh tih amah te a thui pauh. Te vaengah, “A pa nae, tonghma loh nang taengah ol tloh thui koinih na ngai mahpawt nim? Te dongah nang te, 'Sil lamtah caihcil laeh,” a ti mai te,” a ti nah.

And his servants came near and said to him, [Suppose] the prophet had spoken a great thing to you, would you not perform it? yet he has but said to you, Wash, and be cleansed.

14 Te daengah suntla tih Pathen hlang kah ol bangla Jordan ah voei rhih nuem uh. Te vaengah a saa te camoe ca kah saa bangla a khaam pah tih a caihcil pah.

So Naiman went down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the word of Elisaie: and his flesh returned to him as the flesh of a little child, and he was cleansed.

15 Te dongah Pathen hlang taengah amah khaw a lambong boeih neh cet tih Elisha mikhmuh ah a pai pah. Israel khui bueng phoeiah tah diklai pum ah Pathen tloe om pawh tila ka ming coeng he. Te dongah na sal taeng lamkah yoethennah he doe mai laeh,” a ti nah.

And he and all his company returned to Elisaie, and he came and stood before him, and said, Behold, I know that there is no God in all the earth, save only in Israel: and now receive a blessing of your servant.

16 Tedae,” BOEIPA kah hingnah bangla a mikhmuh ah ka pai coeng, ka lo mahpawh,” a ti nah. A doe hamla anih te a hloep dae a aal pah.

And Elisaie said, [As] the Lord lives, before whom I stand, I will not take [one]. And he pressed him to take [one]: but he would not.

17 Naaman loh, “Na loh pawt oeh atah na sal he diklai muli-marhang pumnit phueih m'pae mai. Yahweh ham bueng phoeiah tah pathen tloe ham hmueihhlutnah neh hmueih te na sal loh ka saii voel mahpawh.

And Naiman said, Well then, if not, let there be given to your servant, I pray you, the load [of a] yoke of mules; and you shall give me of the red earth: for henceforth your servant will not offer whole burnt offering or sacrifice to other gods, but only to the Lord by [reason of] this thing.

18 He ol dongah khaw na sal he BOEIPA loh khodawkngai saeh. Ka boei khaw Rimmon im ah kun tih pahoi bakop coeng. Anih te ka kut dongah a hangdang vaengah tah Rimmon im ah ka bakop coeng. Rimmon im ah ka bakop mai cakhaw he ol lamlong tah na sal he BOEIPA loh khodawkngai mai saeh,” a ti nah.

And let the Lord be propitious to your servant when my master goes into the house of Remman to worship there, and he shall lean on my hand, and I shall bow down in the house of Remman when he bows down in the house of Remman; even let the Lord, I pray, be merciful to your servant in this matter.

19 Te phoeiah anih te, “Sading la cet laeh,” a ti nah tih a taeng lamloh kho lak la cet.

And Elisaie said to Naiman, Go in peace. And he departed from him a little way.

20 Te vaengah Pathen hlang Elisha kah tueihyoeih Gehazi loh, “A khuen te a kut lamkah a doe pah ham khaw ka boei loh Arammi Naaman he a tuemsoem coeng. BOEIPA kah hingnah bangla a hnuk ah ka yong vetih anih taengkah khat khat ka lo ni,” a ti.

And Giezi the servant of Elisaie said, Behold, my Lord has spared this Syrian Naiman, so as not to take of his hand what he has brought: as the Lord lives, I will surely run after him, and take somewhat of him.

21 Gehazi loh Naaman hnuk a hloem vaengah a hnukah a yong pah te Naaman loh a hmuh. Te dongah anih doe ham te leng dong lamloh rhum tih, “Na sading ngawn nama?” a ti nah.

So Giezi followed after Naiman: and Naiman saw him running after him, and turned back from his chariot to meet him.

22 Te vaengah, “Sading ngawn ue, ka boei loh kai n'tueih tih, 'Ephraim tlang lamkah tonghma koca lamkah camoe panit kai taengla tarha ha pawk coeng he, amih rhoi ham cak talent khat neh thovaelnah himbai yung nit m'pae mai,’ a ti,” a ti nah.

And [Giezi] said, All is well: my master has sent me, saying, Behold, now are there come to me two young men of the sons of the prophets from mount Ephraim; give them, I pray you, a talent of silver, and two changes of raiment.

23 Naaman loh, “Namah ngaih te talent panit khaw lo,” a ti nah. Anih te a pueh pah tih sungkoi panit dongah cak talent panit neh thovaelnah himbai yung nit a yom sak. Te phoeiah a tueihyoeih rhoi taengla a paek tih a hmai la ana phueih pah.

And [Naiman] said, Take two talents of silver. And he took two talents of silver in two bags, and two changes of raiment, and put them upon two of his servants, and they bore them before him.

24 Molpuei la a pawk vaengah amih kut lamkah te a loh tih im ah a tung. Te phoeiah hlang rhoek te a tueih tih khoe uh.

And he came to a secret place, and took them from their hands, and laid them up in the house, and dismissed the men.

25 Anih te kun tih a boei rhoek taengah a pai pah. Te vaengah Elisha loh anih te, “Me lamkah nim, Gehazi me lamkah nim?” a ti nah. Tedae, “Na sal he melam khaw a caeh moenih,” a ti nah.

And he went in himself and stood before his master; and Elisaie said to him,

26 Hlang te nang doe ham a leng dong lamloh a mael vaengah ka lungbuei he anih taengah a caeh moenih a? Tangka na loh ham neh himbai, olive, misur, boiva, saelhung, salpa, salnu na loh ham a tue a?

Whence [come you], Giezi? and Giezi said, Your servant has not been hither or there. And Elisaie said to him, Went not my heart with you, when the man returned from his chariot to meet you? and now you have received silver, and now you have received raiment, and olive yards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants.

27 Naaman kah hmaibae loh namah neh na tiingan te kumhal duela n'dom laeh saeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih mikhmuh lamkah a nong neh vuelsong bangla pahoi pahuk.

The leprosy also of Naiman shall cleave to you, and to your seed for ever. And he went out from his presence leprous, like snow.
