< 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.
Naaman el mwet kol fulat lun un mwet mweun lun Syria, su arulana akfulatyeyuk ac akilenyuk yohk sin tokosra lun Syria, mweyen ke sripal Naaman LEUM GOD El tuh sang kutangla nu sin un mwet mweun lun Syria. El mwet mweun na pwengpeng se, tusruktu el weak musen lepa.
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.
Ke sie fwil in orek lokoalok lalos nu sin mwet Israel, mwet Syria ah tuh usla sie tulik mutan Israel, ac sang tuh elan mutan kulansap lun mutan kial 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.”
Sie len ah, tulik mutan sac fahk nu sin mutan kacto lal, “Saok leum luk elan som nu yurin mwet palu se su muta Samaria. El ku in akkeyalla ke mas lal uh.”
4 And Naaman went and told his master what the girl from the land of Israel had said.
Ke Naaman el lohngak, el som nu yurin tokosra ac fahkang nu sel ma tulik mutan sac fahk inge.
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.
Na tokosra el fahk, “Fahla nu yurin tokosra lun Israel ac us leta se inge nu sel.” Na Naaman el mukuiyak, ac el us tolngoul tausin ipin silver, onkosr tausin ipin gold, ac singoul nuknuk in ayaol wowo.
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.”
Ac koanon leta se el us ah fahk ouinge: “Leta se inge ma fahkyal Naaman, mwet leum lun mwet mweun luk. Nga ke kom in akkeyalla ke mas lal uh.”
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!”
Ke tokosra lun Israel el riti leta sac, el arulana fosrnga ac salik nuknuk lal ac fahk, “Ku tokosra Syria el nunku ngan akkeyala mwet se inge fuka? Mea, el nunku mu nga pa God, ac oasr ku luk in sang moul ac misa? Kalem lah el ke suk in oasr alein inmasrlosr!”
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.”
Ke Elisha mwet palu el lohng ke ma sikyak inge, el sapla nu sel tokosra ac fahk, “Efu ku kom fohs? Supwama mwet sacn nu yuruk, ac nga fah oru in kalem sel lah oasr mwet palu se in Israel!”
9 So Naaman came with his horses and chariots and stood at the door of Elisha’s house.
Ouinge Naaman el som wi horse ac chariot natul, ac tui ke mutunoa in lohm sel 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 el supwala sie mwet kulansap lal ah in som fahkang elan som nu Infacl Jordan ac yihla pacl itkosr, na el ac fah arulana kwela liki mas lal ah.
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.
Tuh Naaman el foloyak folokla, ac el fahk, “Nga nunku mu el ac ilme nu yuruk ac pre nu sin LEUM GOD lal, ac srukak paol nu fin acn ma nga maskin inge ac akkeyeyula.
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.
Mea, infacl Abana ac Pharpar in acn Damascus tia wo liki infacl nukewa in Israel? Nga lukun yihlana we, ac kwela!”
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’?”
Mwet kulansap lal elos kalukyang nu yorol ac fahk, “Leuwa, mwet palu sac funu fahk kom in oru sie ma na upa, kom lukun orala na. Na efu kom ku tia yihlana oana ke el fahk an, kom in kwela?”
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.
Ouinge Naaman el oatui nu Infacl Jordan, ipatokla otyak pacl itkosr, oana ke Elisha mwet palu el fahk, na el kwela na pwaye. Manol sifil fonla ac fwella oana monin tulik fusr.
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.”
El folokla nu yorol Elisha wi mwet lal nukewa ac fahk, “Inge nga etu lah wangin siena god sayen God lun Israel. Ke ma inge, nunak munas eis mwe lung nga sot inge.”
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.
Elisha el topuk, “Ke Inen LEUM GOD moul su nga kulansupu, nga fulahk lah nga ac tia eis kutena mwe lung sum.” Naaman el kwafe nu sel elan eis, tuh el tiana eis.
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.
Ke ma inge Naaman el fahk, “Kom fin tia lungse eis mwe lung inge, kom lela nu sik in eis luo kal in fohk in acn sum nu yen sik fin miul lukwa nutik, mweyen ingela nga ac tia sifilpa orek kisa ku mwe kisa firir nu sin kutena god sayen LEUM GOD.
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.”
Nga finsrak mu LEUM GOD El ac nunak munas nu sik nga fin atlol tokosra luk nu in Tempul lun Rimmon, god lun Syria, ac welul pasrla ke el alu nu sel. Nga lulalfongi lah LEUM GOD El ac nunak munas nu sik!”
19 “Go in peace,” said Elisha. But after Naaman had traveled a short distance,
Elisha el fahk, “Fahsr in misla.” Ac Naaman el som. El fahla, ac srakna fototo acn el fahla we, na
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, mwet kulansap lal Elisha, el nunkauk sel sifacna, “Leum se luk inge el lela Naaman elan som ac tia moli nu sel kutena ma! El enenu na elan sruokya kutu ma mwet Syria sac el eis nu sel. Ke Inen LEUM GOD moul, nga ac yula tokol ac eisla kutu ma sel ah.”
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?”
Ouinge el yula tokol Naaman. Ke Naaman el liye lah mwet se yume tokol, el srola liki chariot natul in osun nu sel, ac el siyuk, “Mea oasr ma kom elya kac?”
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 el topuk, “Wangin, tuh leum se luk ah supweyume in fahk nu sum lah luo sin mwet palu su muta in eol in acn Ephraim tufahna tuku nu yorol, pa el ke kom in sang tolu tausin ipin silver an, ac luo nuknuk in ayaol wowo an laltal.”
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 el topuk, “Nunak munas, us onkosr tausin ipin silver an.” El kwafe na sel elan eis, ac el kapreni silver inge in nuk luo, wi nuknuk in ayaol wowo luo, ac sang nu sin luo sin mwet kulansap lal, ac supwaltalla meet lukel 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.
Ke elos sun eol soko Elisha el muta we, Gehazi el eisla nuk luo ah, usla nu in lohm ah, ac folokunla mwet kulansap luo lal Naaman ah.
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.
Ac el folokyak nu in lohm ah, ac Elisha el siyuk sel, “Kom muta ya tuku?” Gehazi el topuk, “Wangin, nga mutana inge.”
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?
A Elisha el fahk, “Ku ngunik tia wi kom na ke pacl se mukul sac srola liki chariot natul in osun nu sum ah? Tia pacl in eis mani ac nuknuk, ima in olive ac ima in grape, sheep ac cow, ku mwet kulansap!
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.
Inge, mas lal Naaman ac fah tuku nu fom, na kom, ac fwilin tulik nutum nukewa, ac fah maskin nwe tok!” Ke Gehazi el som lukel Elisha, el weak mas sac, ac manol fasrfasrla oana snow.
