2 Ruodhi 5

1 Koro Naaman ne en jatend to jolweny mar ruodh Aram. Ne en ngʼat ma ruodhe ogeno kendo morgo, nikech kokalo kuome Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo jo-Aram oloyo lweny. Ne en jalweny molony kendo ma jachir, to kata kamano ne en ja-dhoho.

Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Aram, was a great man with his master, and held in esteem, because by him the LORD had given victory unto Aram; he was also a mighty man of valour, but he was a leper.

2 Jolweny moa Aram nodhi momako nyako matin ma nyar Israel kendo ne en jatij chi Naaman.

And the Arameans 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 Nyakono nowachone chi Naaman niya, “Ka dipo ni ruodha ne nyalo dhi ir janabi modak Samaria, to donge ne onyalo change kuom dhohone.”

And she said unto her mistress: 'Would that my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! then would he recover him of his leprosy.'

4 Naaman nodhi ir ruodhe mowachone gima jatich ma nyar jo-Israel owacho.

And he went in, and told his lord, saying: 'Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel.'

5 Ruodh Aram nodwoko niya, “Dhi ma ok ilewo. Abiro oro baruwa ne ruodh Israel.” Omiyo Naaman nowuok mokawo mich mar fedha ma pekne romo kilo mia adek gi piero angʼwen, dhahabu ma pekne romo kilo piero abiriyo kod lewni motwe nyadipar.

And the king of Aram said: 'Go now, and I will send a letter unto the king of Israel.' And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.

6 Baruwa mane okawo koterone ruodh Israel nondik kama: “Gi baruwani aoro jatichna Naaman iri mondo ichange kuom dhoho man kuome.”

And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying: 'And now when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy.'

7 Kane ruodh Israel osomo baruwano, ne oyiecho lepe kowacho niya, “An e Nyasaye koso, ma anyalo nego ngʼato kata miye ngima? Ere kaka ngʼatni oro ngʼato ira mondo achang dhohone. Neye kaka odwaro chako koda lweny!”

And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said: 'Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send unto me to recover a man of his leprosy? but consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh an occasion against me.'

8 Kane Elisha ngʼat Nyasaye owinjo ni ruodh Israel oyiecho lepe, ne oorone wach kama, “Angʼo momiyo iseyiecho lepi? We ngʼatno obi ira kendo enongʼe ni nitie janabi e piny Israel.”

And it was so, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying: 'Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.'

9 Omiyo Naaman nowuok modhi gi farese kod geche mag lweny nyaka e dhood Elisha.

So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.

10 Elisha ne ooro jatichne mondo odhi okone niya, “Dhiyo, inyumri e aoro Jordan nyadibiriyo, to dendi biro chango kendo ibiro pwodhori.”

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

11 To Naaman nowuok odhi ka iye owangʼ kowacho niya, “Ne aparo ni dowuog obi ira mi ochungʼ kendo oluong nying Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache, korieyo bade kama tuo nitie mondo ochang dhohona.

But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said: 'Behold, I thought: He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and wave his hand over the place, and recover the leper.

12 Aore man Damaski ma gin Abana kod Farpar, donge beyo moloyo aore mag Israel? Donge ne anyalo lwokora e aorego mi achangi?” Omiyo nodok ka iye owangʼ.

Are not Amanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean?' So he turned, and went away in a rage.

13 Jotich Naaman nodhi ire mokwaye niya, “Wuonwa, kapo ni janabi dine okwayi mondo itim gik matek, donge dine itimogi? To koro ka owacho mana niya, ‘Dhi ilwokri mondo ichangi ibed mapoth’!”

And his servants came near, and spoke unto him, and said: 'My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee: Wash, and be clean?'

14 Bangʼ mano nodhi monimo e aora Jordan nyadibiriyo mana kaka ngʼat Nyasaye nowachone kendo dende nochango mobedo mapoth ka mar wuowi ma rawera.

Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh came back like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

15 Eka Naaman kod jotichne duto nodok ir ngʼat Nyasaye. Nochungʼ e nyime mowachone niya, Koro angʼeyo ni onge Nyasaye moro e piny mangima makmana e Israel. Koro kiyie kaw mich moa kuom jatichni.

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

16 To janabi nodwoke niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima, ma atiyone, ni ok anakaw gimoro kuomi.” Kata obedo ni Naaman nomedo saye kamano, nodagi.

But he said: 'As the LORD liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none.' And he urged him to take it; but he refused.

17 Naaman nokone niya, “Ka idagi, to we mondo an jatichni miya lowo moromo kenje ariyo tingʼo, nikech chakre kawuono ok abi timo misango miwangʼo pep kod misango moro amora ne nyasaye moro makmana Jehova Nyasaye.

And Naaman said: 'If not, yet I pray thee let there be given to thy servant two mules' burden of earth; for thy servant will henceforth offer neither burnt-offering nor sacrifice unto other gods, but unto the LORD.

18 Gimoro achiel ma Jehova Nyasaye onego ngʼwon-ne jatichne ema: Ruodha pod biro donjo e od Rimon nyasaye mondo olem kuno, koyiengore e bada. Obiro kulore e od Rimon kendo an bende abiro kulora kode, to Jehova Nyasaye mondo owena kuom timo kamano.”

In this thing the LORD pardon thy servant: when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I prostrate myself in the house of Rimmon, when I prostrate myself in the house of Rimmon, the LORD pardon thy servant in this thing.'

19 Elisha nokone niya, “Dhi gi kwe.” Bangʼ ka Naaman nosewuotho mochwalore,

And he said unto him: 'Go in peace.' So he departed from him some way.

20 Gehazi jatich Elisha ngʼat Nyasaye nowacho e chunye niya, Ruodha ne oketone Naaman mayot ahinya, koweyo mich ma ja-Aram-ni okelo. Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ni abiro lawe manyaka ayud gimoro kuome.

But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said: 'Behold, my master hath spared this Naaman the Aramean, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought; as the LORD liveth, I will surely run after him, and take somewhat of him.'

21 Omiyo Gehazi nolawo Naaman, kane Naaman onene kolawe, ne olor piny oa e gache mondo oromne, kopenje niya, Gik moko duto nikare?

So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw one running after him, he alighted from the chariot to meet him, and said: 'Is all well?'

22 Gehazi nodwoke niya, “Gik moko duto beyo. Ruodha oora mondo anyisi ni, ‘Ji ariyo matindo moa e kanyakla mar jonabi obiro ira koa e gode mag Efraim. Yie imigi fedha moromo kilo piero adek gangʼwen kod lewni motwe otwe nyadiriyo.’”

And he said: 'All is well. My master hath sent me, saying: Behold, even now there are come to me from the hill-country of 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 nowachone Gehazi niya, “Kuom ngʼwono duto yie ikawgi fedha ma pekne romo kilo piero auchiel gaboro.” Nokwayo Gehazi mondo okawgi kendo notweyo fedha ma pekne romo kilo piero auchiel gaboro e mifuke ariyo kod lewni motwe otwe nyadiriyo. Naaman nomiyo jotijene ariyo gigo mondo otingʼ ka gitelo e nyim Gehazi.

And Naaman said: 'Be content, 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 servants; and they bore them before him.

24 Kane Gehazi ochopo e got, ne okawo michgi kuom jotichgo mokanogi e ot. Bangʼ mano nomiyo jogo thuolo mondo odhiyo kendo negidhi.

And when he came to the hill, he took them from their hand, and deposited them in the house; and he let the men go, and they departed.

25 Eka nodhi mochungʼ e nyim Elisha ruodhe. Elisha openje niya, “Gehazi, ia kanye?” En to nodwoke ni, Jatichni ne ok odhi kamoro.

But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him: 'Whence comest thou, Gehazi?' And he said: 'Thy servant went no whither.'

26 To Elisha nowachone niya, “Donge chunya ne ni kodi kane ngʼatno olor e gache duogo romo kodi? Bende en sa ma ikawoe pesa, kata law, kata zeituni, kata mzabibu, kata chiayo, kata dhok, kata jotich machwo, kata ma nyiri?

And he said unto him: 'Went not my heart with thee, when the man turned back 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 men-servants and maid-servants?

27 Dhoho mar Naaman biro gore kuomi kendo kuom kothi ndalo duto.” Kuom mano Gehazi nowuok e wangʼ Elisha ka dhoho omako dende duto marachar ka pe.

The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever.' And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.
