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.

And Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man before his master, and honourable, for by him Jehovah had given deliverance to Syria; and he was a mighty man of valour, [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 had gone out in bands, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman'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, Oh, would that my lord were before the prophet that is in Samaria! then he would cure him of 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 he went and told his lord saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of 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, Well! go, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand [shekels] 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, And now, when this letter comes to thee, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest cure him of 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 had read the letter, that he rent his garments, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man sends to me to cure a man of his leprosy? Wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he 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 was so, when Elisha the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent his garments, that he sent to the king, saying, Why hast thou rent thy garments? let him come now to me, and he shall 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.

And Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the doorway of the house of Elisha.

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 Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.

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 Naaman was wroth, and went away and said, Behold, I thought, He will certainly come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of Jehovah his God, and wave his hand over the place, and cure 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 Abanah and the Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them and be clean? 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 drew near, and spoke to him and said, My father, [if] the prophet had bidden thee [do some] great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he says to thee, Wash and be clean?

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.

Then he went down, and plunged himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God. And his flesh became again like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

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 returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came and stood before him; and he said, Behold, I know that there is no God in all the earth but in Israel; and now, I pray thee, take a present of thy 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.

But he said, As Jehovah liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none! And he urged him to take it; but he refused.

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 Naaman said, If not, then let there, I pray thee, be given to thy servant two mules' burden of [this] earth; for thy servant will no more offer burnt-offering and sacrifice to other gods, but to Jehovah.

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.

In this thing Jehovah pardon thy servant: when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to bow down there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon — when I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon, Jehovah pardon thy servant, I pray thee, in this thing.

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

And he said to him, 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 Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master has spared Naaman, this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought; but as Jehovah liveth, I will 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.

And Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he sprang down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?

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 he said, All is well. My master has sent me saying, Behold, even now there are come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets; give them, I pray thee, 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 Naaman said, Consent to take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of raiment, and laid them upon two of his young men; 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 when he came to the hill, he took them from their hand, and stowed them in the house; and he let the men go, and they departed.

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 entered in and stood before his master. And Elisha said to him, Whence [comest thou], Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither.

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?

And he said to him, Did not my heart go, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and bondmen, and bondwomen?

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.

But the leprosy of Naaman shall fasten upon thee, and upon thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence leprous, as snow.
