2 Kings 5
1 Now Naaman, the commander of the army of the king of Aram, was a great man in his master’s sight and highly regarded, for through him the LORD had given victory to Aram. And he was a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper.
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.
2 At this time the Arameans had gone out in bands and had taken a young girl from the land of Israel, and she was serving Naaman’s wife.
Jolweny moa Aram nodhi momako nyako matin ma nyar Israel kendo ne en jatij chi Naaman.
3 She said to her mistress, “If only my master would go to the prophet who is in Samaria, he would cure him of his leprosy.”
Nyakono nowachone chi Naaman niya, “Ka dipo ni ruodha ne nyalo dhi ir janabi modak Samaria, to donge ne onyalo change kuom dhohone.”
4 And Naaman went and told his master what the girl from the land of Israel had said.
Naaman nodhi ir ruodhe mowachone gima jatich ma nyar jo-Israel owacho.
5 “Go now,” said the king of Aram, “and I will send you with a letter to the king of Israel.” So Naaman departed, taking with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold, and ten sets of clothing.
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.
6 And the letter that he took to the king of Israel stated: “With this letter I am sending my servant Naaman, so that you may cure him of his leprosy.”
Baruwa mane okawo koterone ruodh Israel nondik kama: “Gi baruwani aoro jatichna Naaman iri mondo ichange kuom dhoho man kuome.”
7 When the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes and asked, “Am I God, killing and giving life, that this man expects me to cure a leper? Surely you can see that he is seeking a quarrel with me!”
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!”
8 Now when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, he sent a message to the king: “Why have you torn your clothes? Please let the man come to me, and he will know that there is a prophet in Israel.”
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.”
9 So Naaman came with his horses and chariots and stood at the door of Elisha’s house.
Omiyo Naaman nowuok modhi gi farese kod geche mag lweny nyaka e dhood Elisha.
10 Then Elisha sent him a messenger, who said, “Go and wash yourself seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will be restored, and you will be clean.”
Elisha ne ooro jatichne mondo odhi okone niya, “Dhiyo, inyumri e aoro Jordan nyadibiriyo, to dendi biro chango kendo ibiro pwodhori.”
11 But Naaman went away angry, saying, “I thought that he would surely come out, stand and call on the name of the LORD his God, and wave his hand over the spot to cure my leprosy.
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.
12 Are not the Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not have washed in them and been cleansed?” So he turned and went away in a rage.
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.
13 Naaman’s servants, however, approached him and said, “My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more, then, when he tells you, ‘Wash and be cleansed’?”
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’!”
14 So Naaman went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, according to the word of the man of God, and his flesh was restored and became like that of a little child, and he was clean.
Bangʼ mano nodhi monimo e aora Jordan nyadibiriyo mana kaka ngʼat Nyasaye nowachone kendo dende nochango mobedo mapoth ka mar wuowi ma rawera.
15 Then Naaman and all his attendants went back to the man of God, stood before him, and declared, “Now I know for sure that there is no God in all the earth except in Israel. So please accept a gift from your servant.”
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.
16 But Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives, before whom I stand, I will not accept it.” And although Naaman urged him to accept it, he refused.
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.
17 “If you will not,” said Naaman, “please let me, your servant, be given as much soil as a pair of mules can carry. For your servant will never again make a burnt offering or a sacrifice to any other god but the LORD.
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.
18 Yet may the LORD forgive your servant this one thing: When my master goes into the temple of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my arm, and I bow down in the temple of Rimmon, may the LORD forgive your servant in this matter.”
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.”
19 “Go in peace,” said Elisha. But after Naaman had traveled a short distance,
Elisha nokone niya, “Dhi gi kwe.” Bangʼ ka Naaman nosewuotho mochwalore,
20 Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, “Look, my master has spared this Aramean, Naaman, while not accepting what he brought. As surely as the LORD lives, I will run after him and get something from him.”
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.
21 So Gehazi pursued Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running toward him, he got down from the chariot to meet him and asked, “Is everything all right?”
Omiyo Gehazi nolawo Naaman, kane Naaman onene kolawe, ne olor piny oa e gache mondo oromne, kopenje niya, Gik moko duto nikare?
22 “Everything is all right,” Gehazi replied. “My master has sent me to say, ‘I have just now discovered that two young men from the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two sets of clothing.’”
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.’”
23 But Naaman insisted, “Please, take two talents.” And he urged Gehazi to accept them. Then he tied up two talents of silver in two bags along with two sets of clothing and gave them to two of his servants, who carried them ahead of Gehazi.
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.
24 When Gehazi came to the hill, he took the gifts from the servants and stored them in the house. Then he dismissed the men, and they departed.
Kane Gehazi ochopo e got, ne okawo michgi kuom jotichgo mokanogi e ot. Bangʼ mano nomiyo jogo thuolo mondo odhiyo kendo negidhi.
25 When Gehazi went in and stood before his master, Elisha asked him, “Gehazi, where have you been?” “Your servant did not go anywhere,” he replied.
Eka nodhi mochungʼ e nyim Elisha ruodhe. Elisha openje niya, “Gehazi, ia kanye?” En to nodwoke ni, Jatichni ne ok odhi kamoro.
26 But Elisha questioned him, “Did not my spirit go with you when the man got down from his chariot to meet you? Is this the time to accept money and clothing, olive groves and vineyards, sheep and oxen, menservants and maidservants?
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?
27 Therefore, the leprosy of Naaman will cling to you and your descendants forever!” And as Gehazi left his presence, he was leprous—as white as snow.
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.
