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.

Naaman, general of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable: for by him the Lord gave deliverance to Syria: and he was a valiant man and rich, 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.

Now there had gone out robbers from Syria, and had led away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid, and she waited upon 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: I wish my master had been with the prophet, that is in Samaria: he would certainly have healed him of the leprosy which he hath.

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

Then Naaman went in to his lord, and told him, saying: Thus and thus said tile girl 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 sad to him: 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 pieces of gold, and tell 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 brought the letter to the king of Israel, in these words: When thou shalt receive this letter, know that I have sent to thee Naaman my servant, that thou mayest heal 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 when the king of Israel had read the letter, he rent his garments, and said: Am I God, to be able to kill and give life, that this man hath sent to me, to heal a man of his leprosy? mark, and see how he seeketh occasions 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 when Eliseus the man of God had heard this, to wit, that the king of Israel had rent his garments, he sent to him, saying: Why hast thou rent thy garments? let him 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 Naaman came with Iris horses and chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Eliseus:

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 Eliseus sent a messenger to him, saying: Go, and wash seven times in the Jordan, and thy flesh shall recover health, and thee 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.

Naaman was angry and went away, saying: I thought he would hare come out to me, and standing would hare invoked the name of the Lord his God, and touched with his hand the place of the leprosy, and healed me.

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 the Pharphar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel, that I may wash in them, and be made clean? So as he turned, and was going away with indignation,

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.

His servants came to him, and said to him: Father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, surely thou shouldst have done it: how much rather what he now hath said to thee: Wash, and thou shalt he 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 washed in the Jordan seven times: according to the word of the man of God, and his flesh was restored, like the flesh of a little child, and he was made 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 returning to the man of God with all his train, be came, and stood before him, and said: In truth, I know there is no other God in all the earth, but only in Israel: I beseech thee therefore take a blessing 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 answered: As the Lord liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And when he pressed him, he still 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: As thou wilt: but I beseech thee, grant to me thy servant, to take from hence two mules’ burden of earth: for thy servant will not henceforth offer holocaust, or victim, to other gods, but to the Lord.

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.

But there is only this, for which thou shalt entreat the Lord for thy servant, when my master goeth into the temple of Remmon, to worship: and he leaneth upon my hand, if I bow down in the temple of Remmon, when he boweth down in the same place, that the Lord pardon me thy servant for 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. So he departed from him in the springtime of the earth.

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.

But Giezi the servant of the man of God said: My master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving of him that which he brought: as the Lord liveth, I will run after him, and take some thing 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 Giezi followed after Naaman: and when he saw him running after him, he leapt down from his 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: Well: my master hath sent me to thee, saying: Just now there are come to me from mount Ephraim, two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.

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: It is better that thou take two talents. And he forced him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, and two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants, and they carried 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 was come, and now it was the evening, he took them from their hands, and laid them up in the house, and sent the men away, 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.

But he went in, and stood before his master. And Eliseus said: Whence comest thou, Giezi? He answered: 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?

But he said: Was not my heart present, when the man turned back from his chariot to meet thee? So now thou hast received money, and received garments, to buy oliveyards, 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.

But the leprosy of Naaman shall also stick to thee, and to thy seed for ever. And he went out from him a leper as white as snow.
