Anden Kongebog 5
1 Na'aman, Kongen af Arams Hærfører, havde meget at sige hos sin Herre og var højt agtet; thi ved ham havde HERREN givet Aramæerne Sejr; men Manden var spedalsk.
And Naaman, head of the host of the king of Aram, was a great man before his lord, and accepted of face, for YHWH had given salvation to Aram by him, and the man was mighty in valor, [but] leprous.
2 Nu havde Aramæerne engang på et Strejtog røvet en lille Pige i Israels Land; hun var kommet i Tjeneste hos Na'amans Hustru,
And the Arameans have gone out [by] troops, and they take a little girl captive out of the land of Israel, and she is before the wife of Naaman,
3 og hun sagde til sin Frue: "Gid min Herre var hos Profeten i Samaria; han vilde sikkert skille ham af med hans Spedalskhed!"
and she says to her mistress, “O that my lord [were] before the prophet who [is] in Samaria; then he recovers him from his leprosy.”
4 Så kom Na'aman og fortalte sin Herre, hvad Pigen fra Israels Land havde sagt.
And [one] goes in and declares [it] to his lord, saying, “Thus and thus the girl who [is] from the land of Israel has spoken.”
5 Da sagde Arams Konge: "Rejs derhen! Jeg skal sende etBrevmed til Israels Konge!" Så rejste han og tog ti Talenter Sølv, 6000 Sekel Guld og ti Sæt Festklæder med.
And the king of Aram says, “Go, enter, and I send a letter to the king of Israel”; and he goes and takes in his hand ten talents of silver, and six thousand [pieces] of gold, and ten changes of garments.
6 Og han overbragte IsraelsKonge Brevet. Deri stod der: "Når dette Brev kommer dig i Hænde, skal du vide, at jeg sender min Tjener Na'aman til dig, for at du skal skille ham af med hans Spedalskhed!"
And he brings in the letter to the king of Israel, saying, “And now, at the coming in of this letter to you, behold, I have sent my servant Naaman to you, and you have recovered him from his leprosy.”
7 Da Israels Konge havde læst Brevet, sønderrev han sine klæder og sagde: "Er jeg Gud, så jeg råder over Liv og Død, siden han skriver til mig, at jeg skal skille en Mand afmed hans Spedalskhed Nej, I kan da se, at han søger Lejlighed til Strid med mig!"
And it comes to pass, at the king of Israel’s reading the letter, that he tears his garments and says, “Am I God, to put to death and to keep alive, that this [one] is sending to me to recover a man from his leprosy? For surely know now, and see, for he is presenting himself to me.”
8 Men da den Guds Mand Elisa hørte, at Israels Konge havde sønderrevet sine klæder, sendte han det Bud til Kongen: "Hvorfor sønderriver du dine Klæder? Lad ham komme til mig, så skal han kende, at der er en Profet i Israel!"
And it comes to pass, at Elisha the man of God’s hearing that the king of Israel has torn his garments, that he sends to the king, saying, “Why have you torn your garments? Please let him come to me, and he knows that there is a prophet in Israel.”
9 Da kom Na'aman med Heste og Vogne og holdt uden for Døren til Elisas Hus.
And Naaman comes, with his horses and with his chariot, and stands at the opening of the house for Elisha;
10 Elisa sendte et Bud ud til ham og lod sige: "Gå hen og bad dig syv Gange i Jordan, så bliver dit Legeme atter friskt, og du bliver ren!"
and Elisha sends a messenger to him, saying, “Go, and you have washed seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh turns back to you—and be clean.”
11 Men Na'aman blev vred og drog bort med de Ord: "Se, jeg havde tænkt, at han vilde komme ud til mig, stå og påkalde HERREN sin Guds Navn og svinge sin Hånd i Retning af Helligdommen og således gøre Ende på Spedalskheden!
And Naaman is angry, and goes on and says, “Behold, I said, He certainly comes out to me, and has stood and called in the Name of his God YHWH, and waved his hand over the place, and recovered the leper.
12 Er ikke Damaskus's Floder Abana og Parpar fuldt så gode som alle Israels Vande? Kunde jeg ikke blive ren ved at bade mig i dem?" Og han vendte sig og drog bort i Vrede.
Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Do I not wash in them and I have been clean?” And he turns and goes on in fury.
13 Men hans Trælle kom og sagde til ham: "Dersom Profeten havde pålagt dig noget, som var vanskeligt vilde du så ikke have gjort det? Hvor meget mere da nu, da han sagde til dig: Bad dig, så bliver du ren!"
And his servants come near, and speak to him, and say, “My father, the prophet had spoken a great thing to you—do you not do [it]? And surely, when he has said to you, Wash, and be clean.”
14 Så drog han ned og dykkede sig syv Gange i Jordan efter den Guds Mands Ord; og hans Legeme blev atter friskt som et Barns, og han blev ren.
And he goes down and dips in the Jordan seven times, according to the word of the man of God, and his flesh turns back as the flesh of a little youth, and is clean.
15 Så vendte han med hele sit Følge tilbage til den Guds Mand, og da han var kommet derhen, trådtehan frem forham og sagde: "Nu ved jeg, at der ingensteds på Jorden er nogen Gud uden i Israel! Så modtag nu en Takkegave af din Træl!"
And he turns back to the man of God, he and all his camp, and comes in, and stands before him, and says, “Now behold, I have known that there is not a God in all the earth except in Israel; and now, please take a blessing from your servant.”
16 Men han svarede: "Så sandt HERREN lever, for hvis Åsyn jeg står, jeg modtager ikke noget!" Og skønt han nødte ham, vægrede han sig ved at modtage noget.
And he says, “YHWH lives, before whom I have stood—if I take [it]”; and he presses on him to take, and he refuses.
17 Da sagde Na'aman: "Så lad da være! Men lad din Træl få så megel Jord, som et Par Muldyr kan bære, thi din Træl vil aldrig mere ofre Brændoffer eller Slagtoffer til nogen anden Gud end HERREN!
And Naaman says, “If not, please let a couple of mules’ burden of earth be given to your servant, for your servant makes no more burnt-offering and sacrifice to other gods, but [only sacrifices] to YHWH.
18 Men i een Ting vil HERREN nok bære over med din Træl: Når min Herre går ind i Rimmons Hus for at tilbede og støtfer sig til min Arm og jeg så sammen med ham kaster mig til Jorden i Rimmons Hus, da vil HERREN nok bære over ed din Træl i den Ting!"
For in this thing may YHWH be propitious to your servant, in the coming in of my lord into the house of Rimmon to bow himself there, and he was supported by my hand, and I bowed myself [in] the house of Rimmon; for my bowing myself in the house of Rimmon, may YHWH now be propitious to your servant in this thing.”
19 Han svarede: "Far i Fred!" Men da han var kommet et Stykke hen ad Vejen,
And he says to him, “Go in peace.” And he goes from him a distance of land,
20 sagde Gehazi, den Guds Mand Elisas Tjener, ved sig selv: "Der har min Herre ladet denne Aramæer Na'aman slippe og ikke modtaget af ham, hvad han havde med; så sandt HERREN lever, jeg vil løbe efter ham for at få noget af ham!"
and Gehazi, servant of Elisha the man of God, says, “Behold, my lord has spared this Aramean Naaman, not to receive from his hand that which he brought; for YHWH lives; if I have run after him, then I have taken something from him.”
21 Så satte Gehazi efter Na'aman. og da Na'aman så ham komme løbende efter sig, sprang han af Vognen, gik ham i Møde og spurgte: "Står det godt til?"
And Gehazi pursues after Naaman, and Naaman sees one running after him, and comes down off the chariot to meet him, and says, “Is there peace?”
22 Han svarede: "Ja, det står godt til! Min Herre sender mig med det Bud: Der kom lige nu to unge Mænd, som hører til Profetsønnerne, til mig fra Efraims Bjerge: giv dem en Talent Sølv og to Sæt Festklæder!"
And he says, “Peace; my lord has sent me, saying, Behold, now, this, two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill-country of Ephraim; please give a talent of silver and two changes of garments to them.”
23 Da sagde Na'aman: "Tag dog mod to Talenter Sølv!" Og han nødte ham. Så bandt han to Talenter ind i to Punge og tog to Sæt Festklæder og gav to af sine Trælle dem, for at de skulde bære dem foran ham.
And Naaman says, “Be pleased, take two talents”; and he urges him, and binds two talents of silver in two purses, and two changes of garments, and gives [them] to two of his young men, and they carry [them] before him;
24 Men da de kom til Højen, tog han Pengene fra dem, gemte dem i Huset og lod Mændene gå.
and he comes to the high place, and takes [them] out of their hand, and lays [them] up in the house, and sends the men away, and they go.
25 Så gik han ind til sin Herre og trådte hen til ham. Da spurgte Elisa: "Hvor har du været, Gehazi?" Han svarede: "Din Træl har ingen Steder været!"
And he has come in, and stands by his lord, and Elisha says to him, “From where—Gehazi?” And he says, “Your servant did not go here or there.”
26 Så sagde han til ham: "Gik jeg ikke i Ånden hos dig, da en stod af sin Vogn og gik tilbage for at møde dig? Nu har du fået Penge, og du kan få Klæder, Olivenlunde og Vingårde, Småkvæg og Hornkvæg, Trælle og Trælkvinder,
And he says to him, “My heart did not go when the man turned from off his chariot to meet you; is it a time to take silver, and to take garments, and olives, and vines, and flock, and herd, and menservants, and maidservants?
27 men Na'amans Spedalskhed skal hænge ved dig og dit Afkom til evig Tid!" Og Gehazi gik fra ham, hvid som Sne af Spedalskhed.
Indeed, the leprosy of Naaman cleaves to you and to your seed for all time”; and he goes out from before him—leprous as snow.
