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, general of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man in presence of his lord, and held in honour, because, by him, had Yahweh given deliverance to Syria, —and, the man, was a hero of valour—[but], a leper.

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

Now, the Syrians, had gone out in companies, and had brought back out of the land of Israel, a little maiden, —who became an attendant on the wife of Naaman.

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, Ah! would that my lord were before the prophet, who is in Samaria! then, would he set him free from 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, hath spoken the maiden who 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 Syria said—Go, get in, that I may send a letter unto the king of Israel. So he went, and took in his hand 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 in the letter unto the king of Israel, saying, Now, therefore, when this letter cometh in unto thee, lo! I have sent unto thee, Naaman my servant, and thou shalt set him free from 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 is sending unto me, to set one free from his leprosy, —but, of a truth, just mark, I pray you, and see, that he, is seeking 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 unto the king, saying—Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come, I pray thee, unto me, that he may get to 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 chariot, and stood at the entrance 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 bathe seven times in the Jordan, so shall thy flesh come back to thee, and be thou 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—Lo! I thought, Unto me, will he, come right out, and take his stand, and call on the name of Yahweh his God, and wave his hand towards the spot, and so set free 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, Abanah and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not bathe, 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’!”

Then drew near his servants, and spake unto him, and said—My father! if, some great thing, the prophet had commanded thee, wouldst thou not have done it? then, how much rather, when he hath said unto thee, Bathe 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 in the Jordan, seven times, according to the word of the man of God: and his flesh came back, as 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 unto the man of God, he and all his company; and came, and took his stand before him, and said—Lo! I pray thee—I know that there is no God in all the earth, save in Israel, —now, therefore, I pray thee, accept a blessing from 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—By the life of Yahweh, before whom I stand, I will not accept one. And, though he urged him to accept it, yet did he refuse.

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.

Then said Naaman, Shall there not, then, I pray thee, be given to thy servant, two mules’ burden of earth? For thy servant will henceforth offer neither ascending-offering nor sacrifice to other gods, save only to Yahweh.

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, Yahweh grant forgiveness to thy servant, —When my lord entereth the house of Rimmon, to bow down therein, he leaning upon my hand, and so I bow down in the house of Rimmon, when he boweth down in the house of Rimmon, Yahweh, I pray, grant forgiveness to thy servant, in this thing.

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

And he said unto him—Go and prosper! But, when he had gone from him some distance,

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.

Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said—Lo! my lord, hath restrained, this Naaman the Syrian, by not taking at his hand that which he brought! By the life of Yahweh, verily, I will runs after him, and accept of him, something.

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 hastened after Naaman. And, when Naaman saw one running after him, he alighted from his 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 lord, hath sent me to say, Lo! just now, have come unto me, two young men out of the hill country of Ephraim, of the sons of the prophets, —give for 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, accept two talents. So he urged him, and bound up two talents of silver in two bags, and two changes of raiment, and laid them upon two of his young men, and they bare 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-tower, he took them from their hand, and put them in charge within, —and 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.

Now, when, he, came in and stood before his lord, Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, —Thy servant hath been neither hither nor thither.

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?

Then he said unto him—My heart, had not gone with thee, when someone turned again from off his chariot, to meet thee! Is it a time to accept silver, or to accept raiment, or oliveyards, or vineyards, or flocks or herds, or men-servants, or 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 of Naaman, therefore, shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed, to times age-abiding. And he went forth from before him—a leper—like snow.
