< 列王紀下 5 >

1 亞蘭王的元帥乃縵在他主人面前為尊為大,因耶和華曾藉他使亞蘭人得勝;他又是大能的勇士,只是長了大痲瘋。
Naaman, prince of the chyualrye of the kyng of Syrie, was a greet man, and worschipid anentis his lord; for bi hym the Lord yaf helthe to Sirie; sotheli he was a strong man and riche, but leprouse.
2 先前亞蘭人成群地出去,從以色列國擄了一個小女子,這女子就服事乃縵的妻。
Forsothe theues yede out of Sirie, and ledden prisonere fro the lond of Israel a litil damysele, that was in the seruyce of the wijf of Naaman.
3 她對主母說:「巴不得我主人去見撒馬利亞的先知,必能治好他的大痲瘋。」
`Which damysele seide to hir ladi, `Y wolde, that my lord hadde be at the prophete which is in Samarie; sotheli the prophete schulde haue curid hym of the lepre which he hath.
4 乃縵進去,告訴他主人說,以色列國的女子如此如此說。
Therfor Naaman entride to his lord, and telde to hym, and seide, A damysel of the lond of Israel spak so and so.
5 亞蘭王說:「你可以去,我也達信於以色列王。」於是乃縵帶銀子十他連得,金子六千舍客勒,衣裳十套,就去了;
Therfor the kyng of Syrie seide to hym, Go thou, and Y schal sende lettris to the kyng of Israel. And whanne he hadde go forth, and hadde take with hym ten talentis of siluer, and sixe thousynde goldun platis, `ether floreyns, and ten chaungyngis of clothis,
6 且帶信給以色列王,信上說:「我打發臣僕乃縵去見你,你接到這信,就要治好他的大痲瘋。」
he brouyte lettris to the kyng of Israel bi these wordis; Whanne thou hast take this pistle, wite thou, that Y haue sent to thee Naaman, my seruaunt, that thou cure hym of his lepre.
7 以色列王看了信就撕裂衣服,說:「我豈是上帝,能使人死使人活呢?這人竟打發人來,叫我治好他的大痲瘋。你們看一看,這人何以尋隙攻擊我呢?」
And whanne the kyng of Israel hadde red the lettris, he to-rente his clothis, and seide, Whether Y am God, that may sle and quykene, for this kyng sente to me, that Y cure a man of his lepre? Perseyue ye, and se, that he sekith occasiouns ayens me.
8 神人以利沙聽見以色列王撕裂衣服,就打發人去見王,說:「你為甚麼撕了衣服呢?可使那人到我這裏來,他就知道以色列中有先知了。」
And whanne Elisee, the man of God, hadde herd this, that is, that the kyng of Israel hadde to-rente hise clothis, he sente to the kyng, and seide, Whi to-rentist thou thi clothis? come he to me, and wite he, that a prophete is in Israel.
9 於是,乃縵帶着車馬到了以利沙的家,站在門前。
Therfor Naaman cam with horsis and charis, and stood at the dore of the hows of Elisee.
10 以利沙打發一個使者,對乃縵說:「你去在約旦河中沐浴七回,你的肉就必復原,而得潔淨。」
And Elisee sente to hym a messanger, and seide, Go thou, and be thou waischun seuensithis in Jordan; and thi fleisch shal resseyue helthe, and thou schalt be clensid.
11 乃縵卻發怒走了,說:「我想他必定出來見我,站着求告耶和華-他上帝的名,在患處以上搖手,治好這大痲瘋。
Naaman was wrooth, and yede awei, and seide, Y gesside, that he schulde go out to me, and that he schulde stonde, and clepe the name of `the Lord his God, and that he schulde touche with his hond the place of lepre, and schulde cure me.
12 大馬士革的河亞罷拿和法珥法豈不比以色列的一切水更好嗎?我在那裏沐浴不得潔淨嗎?」於是氣忿忿地轉身去了。
Whether Abana and Pharphar, floodis of Damask, ben not betere than alle the watris of Israel, that Y be waischun in tho, and be clensid?
13 他的僕人進前來,對他說:「我父啊,先知若吩咐你做一件大事,你豈不做嗎?何況說你去沐浴而得潔淨呢?」
Therfor whanne he hadde turned hym silf, and yede awei, hauynge indignacioun, hise seruauntis neiyiden to hym, and spaken to hym, Fadir, thouy the prophete hadde seid to thee a greet thing, certis thou owist to do; hou myche more for now he seide to thee, Be thou waischun, and thou schalt be clensid.
14 於是乃縵下去,照着神人的話,在約旦河裏沐浴七回;他的肉復原,好像小孩子的肉,他就潔淨了。
He yede doun, and waischide hym seuensithis in Jordan, bi the word of the man of God; and his fleisch was restored as the fleisch of a litil child, and he was clensid.
15 乃縵帶着一切跟隨他的人,回到神人那裏,站在他面前,說:「如今我知道,除了以色列之外,普天下沒有上帝。現在求你收點僕人的禮物。」
And he turnede ayen with al his felouschipe to the man of God, and cam, and stood bifor hym; and seide, Verili Y knowe, that noon other God is in al erthe, no but oneli God of Israel; therfor, Y biseche, that thou take blessyng of thi seruaunt.
16 以利沙說:「我指着所事奉永生的耶和華起誓,我必不受。」乃縵再三地求他,他卻不受。
And he answeride, The Lord lyueth bifor whom Y stonde, for Y schal not take. And whanne he made `strengthe, that is, greet preier, Elisee assentide not outirli.
17 乃縵說:「你若不肯受,請將兩騾子馱的土賜給僕人。從今以後,僕人必不再將燔祭或平安祭獻與別神,只獻給耶和華。
Therfor Naaman seide, As thou wolt; but, I biseche, graunte thou to me, thi seruaunt, that Y take of `the lond the birthun of twei burdones; for thi seruaunt schal no more make brent sacrifice, ether slayn sacrifice, to alien goddis, no but to the Lord.
18 惟有一件事,願耶和華饒恕你僕人:我主人進臨門廟叩拜的時候,我用手攙他在臨門廟,我也屈身。我在臨門廟屈身的這事,願耶和華饒恕我。」
Forsothe this thing is oneli, of which thou schalt preie the Lord for thi seruaunt, whanne my lord shal entre into the temple of Remmon, that he worschipe, and while he `schal lene on myn hond, if Y worschipe in the temple of Remmon, while he worschipith in the same place, that the Lord foryyue to thi seruaunt for this thing.
19 以利沙對他說:「你可以平平安安地回去!」 乃縵就離開他去了;走了不遠,
Which Elisee seide to hym, Go thou in pees. `Therfor he yede fro Elisee in a chosun tyme of the lond.
20 神人以利沙的僕人基哈西心裏說:「我主人不願從這亞蘭人乃縵手裏受他帶來的禮物,我指着永生的耶和華起誓,我必跑去追上他,向他要些。」
And Giezi, the child of the man of God, seide, My lord sparide this Naaman of Syrie, that he took not of hym that, that he brouyte; the Lord lyueth, for Y schal renne aftir hym, and Y schal take of hym sum thing.
21 於是基哈西追趕乃縵。乃縵看見有人追趕,就急忙下車迎着他,說:「都平安嗎?」
And Giezi suede aftir the bak of Naaman; and whanne Naaman hadde seyn Giezi rennynge to hym, he skippide doun of the chare in to the metyng of Giezi; and seide, Whether alle thingis ben riytfuli?
22 說:「都平安。我主人打發我來說:『剛才有兩個少年人,是先知門徒,從以法蓮山地來見我,請你賜他們一他連得銀子,兩套衣裳。』」
And he seide, Riytfuli; my lord sente me to thee, and seide, Twey yonge men of the hille of Effraym, of the sones of prophetis, camen now to me; yyue thou to hem a talent of siluer, and double chaungyng clothis.
23 乃縵說:「請受二他連得」;再三地請受,便將二他連得銀子裝在兩個口袋裏,又將兩套衣裳交給兩個僕人;他們就在基哈西前頭抬着走。
And Naaman seide, It is betere that thou take twei talentis. And Naaman constreynede hym; and Naaman boond twei talentis of siluer in twei sackis, and double clothis, and puttide on his twey children, `that is, seruauntis, whiche also baren bifor Giezi.
24 到了山岡,基哈西從他們手中接過來,放在屋裏,打發他們回去。
And whanne he hadde come thanne in the euentid, he took fro the hond of hem, and leide vp in the hows; and he delyuerede the men, and thei yeden.
25 基哈西進去,站在他主人面前。以利沙問他說:「基哈西你從哪裏來?」回答說:「僕人沒有往哪裏去。」
Forsothe Giezi entride, and stood bifor his lord. And Elise seide, Giezi, fro whennus comest thou? Which answeride, Thi seruaunt yede not to ony place.
26 以利沙對他說:「那人下車轉回迎你的時候,我的心豈沒有去呢?這豈是受銀子、衣裳、買橄欖園、葡萄園、牛羊、僕婢的時候呢?
And Elise seide, Whether myn herte was not in present, whanne the man turnede ayen fro his chare in to the metyng of thee? Now therfor thou hast take siluer, and thou hast take clothis, that thou bie places of olyues, and vyneris, and scheep, and oxis, and seruauntis, and handmaydis;
27 因此,乃縵的大痲瘋必沾染你和你的後裔,直到永遠。」基哈西從以利沙面前退出去,就長了大痲瘋,像雪那樣白。
but also the lepre of Naaman schal cleue to thee, and to thi seed withouten ende. And Giezi yede leprouse as snow, `fro hym.
