< 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.
अरामका राजाका सेनापति नामान आफ्ना मालिकको दृष्‍टिमा महान् र इज्‍जतदार मानिस थिए किनकि तिनीद्वारा परमप्रभुले अरामलाई विजय दिनुभएको थियो । तिनी बलिया र साहसी मानिस पनि थिए, तर तिनी कुष्ठरोगी थिए ।
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.
अरामीहरू दलहरूमा मिलेर हमला गर्न गएका थिए, र तिनीहरूले इस्राएल देशबाट एउटी सानी केटीलाई ल्याएका थिए । त्यसले नामानकी पत्‍नीको सेवा गर्थी ।
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.”
केटीले आफ्नी मालिक्‍नीलाई भनी, “मेरा मालिक सामरियामा भएका अगमवक्ताको साथमा भएको भए हुन्थ्यो! तब उहाँले मेरा मालिकलाई कुष्ठरोगबाट निको पार्नुहुन्थ्यो ।”
4 And Naaman went and told his master what the girl from the land of Israel had said.
त्यसैले नामान भित्र प्रवेश गरे, र इस्राएल देशबाट ल्याइएकी त्‍यो केटीले के भनेकी थई त्‍यो राजालाई भने ।
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.
त्‍यसैले अरामका राजाले भने, “अब जाऊ, र म इस्राएलका राजालाई एउटा चिठी पठाउनेछु ।” नामान गए र तिन सय चालिस किलो चाँदी, सत्तरी किलो सुन र दस जोर लुगा तिनले आफूसितै लगे ।
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.”
तिनले इस्राएलका राजाको निम्ति चिठी पनि लिएर गए जसमा लेखिएको थियो, “जब यो चिठी तपाईंकहाँ ल्याइन्छ मैले तपाईंकहाँ आफ्‍नो सेवकलाई पठाएको तपाईंले देख्‍नुहुनेछ, ताकि तपाईंले तिनको कुष्ठरोगबाट तिनलाई निको पारिदिनुहोस् ।”
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!”
जब इस्राएलका राजाले चिठी पढेका थिए, तब तिनले आफ्ना लुगा च्याते र भने, “आफैमा कुष्ठरोग भएको मानिसलाई मैले निको पारोस् भनी यो मानिसले इच्‍छा गर्नलाई मार्न र जिउँदो पार्न के म परमेश्‍वर हुँ र? उसले मसित झगडाको निहुँ खोजेको जस्‍तो पो लाग्‍दैछ ।”
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.”
त्‍यसैले इस्राएलका राजालले आफ्ना लुगा च्याते भनी जब परमेश्‍वरका मानिस एलीशाले सुने, तब तिनले राजालाई यसो भनी समाचार पठाए, “किन तपाईंले आफ्नो लुगा च्यात्‍नुभएको? अब ऊ मकहाँ आओस्, र इस्राएलमा अगमवक्ता रहेछन् भनी उसले थाहा पाउनेछ ।”
9 So Naaman came with his horses and chariots and stood at the door of Elisha’s house.
त्यसैले नामान आफ्ना घोडाहरू र रथहरू लिएर आए र एलीशाको घरको ढोकामा उभिए ।
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.”
एलीशाले तिनीकहाँ यसो भनेर एक जना सन्देशवाहक पठाए, “जानुहोस् र यर्दनमा आफूलाई सातपल्ट डुबुल्की लगाउनुहोस् र तपाईंको देह पहिलेको जस्तै हुनेछ । तपाईं शुद्ध बन्‍नुहुनेछ ।”
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.
तर नामान रिसाए र यसो भन्दै गए, “हेर, निश्‍चय नै तिनी मकहाँ बाहिर आउँनेछन् र खडा हुनेछन् अनि तिनले आफ्ना परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको नाउँ पुकार्नेछन् र मेरो कुष्ठरोगमाथि आफ्‍ना हात हल्‍लाउँनेछन् र मेरो कुष्‍टरोग निको पार्नेछन् भनी मैले सोचेको थिएँ ।
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.
के दमस्कसका अबाना र फारपर नदीहरू इस्राएलका सबै पानीभन्दा असल छैनन् र? के म तिनमा नुहाएर शुद्ध हुन सक्दिनँ र?” त्‍यसैले तिनी फर्के र क्रुद्ध हुँदै आफ्नो बाटो लागे ।
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’?”
तब नामानका सेवकहरू नजिक आए, र तिनलाई भने, “हे मेरा पिता, अगमवक्ताले तपाईंलाई कुनै कठिन कुरो गर्न लगाएको भए के तपाईंले त्‍यो गर्नुहुने थिएन र? त्‍यसको बदलामा 'आफैलाई डुबुल्की लगाउन र शुद्ध हुन' भन्दा झन् किन नगर्ने त?”
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.
तब तिनी तल गए र परमेश्‍वरका मानिसको सल्‍लाह मानेर यर्दमा आफैलाई सात पल्ट डुबुल्की लगाए । तिनको देह बच्‍चाको झैँ पहिलेजस्तै भयो र तिनी निको भए ।
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.”
नामान र तिनको दल परमेश्‍वरका मानिसकहाँ फर्केर आए र तिनको सामु खडा भए । तिनले भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, सारा पृथ्वीमा इस्राएलमा बाहेक अन्त कतै परमेश्‍वर हुनुहुन्‍न रहेछ भनी अब मलाई थाहा भयो । त्यसकारण तपाईंको दासबाट उपहार ग्रहण गर्नुहोस् ।”
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.
तर एलीशाले जावाफ दिए, “परमप्रभु जसको सामु म खडा हुन्‍छु, उहाँको नाउँमा शपथ खाएर भन्छु, म केही लिने छैनँ ।” नामानले एलीशालाई उपहार लिन बिन्ती गरे तर तिनले इन्कार गरे ।
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.
त्यसैले नामानले भने, “तपाईं लिनुहुन्‍न भने तपाईंका दासलाई दुईवटा खच्‍चरले बोक्‍न सक्‍ने माटो लान दिनुहोस् । किनकि अबदेखि तपाईंका दासले परमप्रभुबाहेक अन्य कुनै ईश्‍वरलाई न त होमबलि न बलिदान चढाउनेछ ।
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.”
यो एउटा कुरामा परमप्रभुले तपाईंको दासलाई क्षमा गरून्, त्‍यो हो, जब मेरा राजा रिम्मोनको मन्दिरमा पुजा गर्न जान्‍छन् अनि मेरो हातमा भर पर्छन्, अनि रिम्मोनको मन्दिरमा म पनि निहुरिन्छु, तब यस विषयमा परमप्रभुले हजुरको दासलाई क्षमा गरून् ।”
19 “Go in peace,” said Elisha. But after Naaman had traveled a short distance,
एलीशाले तिनलाई भने, “शान्तिसित जाऊ ।” यसरी नामान फर्केर गए ।
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.”
तिनी अलि पर मात्र पुगेका थिए, परमेश्‍वरका मानिस एलीशाको सेवक गेहजीले आफ्नो मनमा भन्यो, “मेरा मालिकले यी अरामी नामानको हातबाट तिनले ल्याएका उपहारहरू ग्रहण नगरी तिनको बचत गर्नुभएको छ । परमप्रभुको नाउँमा शपथ खाएर म भन्छु, म तिनको पछि दौडेर जानेछु, र तिनीबाट केही लिनेछु ।”
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?”
त्यसैले गेहजी नामानको पछि गयो । जब नामानले तिनको पछि कोही दौडेर आएको देखे, तब आफ्नो रथबाट त्यसलाई भेट्न तिनी ओर्ले र भने, “के सबै कुरा ठिकै छ?”
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.’”
गेहजीले भन्यो, “सबै ठिकै कुरा छ । मेरा मालिकले मलाई यसो भनेर पठाउनुभएको छ, 'हेर, एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशबाट अगमवक्ताहरूका छोराहरूमध्ये दुई जना युवा मकहाँ आएका छन् । कृपया, तिनीहरूलाई एक तोडा चाँदी र दुई जोर लुगा दिनुहोस् ।”
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.
नामानले भने, “म तिमीलाई दुई तोडा चाँदी दिन अत्यन्तै खुसी छु ।” नामानले गेहजीलाई जिद्दी गरे र दुईवटा थैलामा दुई तोडा चाँदी र दुई जोर लुगा राखिदिए, अनि तिनले आफ्ना दुई जना सेवक दिए जसले ती थैलाहरू बोकेर गेहजीको अगि लागे ।
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.
जब गेहजी डाँडामा आइपुग्यो त्यसले तिनीहरूका हातबाट चाँदीका थैलाहरू लियो र ती घरमा लुकायो । त्यसले ती मानिसहरूलाई पठायो र उनीहरू गए ।
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.
जब गेहजी भित्र गयो र आफ्ना मालिकको अघि खडा भयो, तब एलीशाले भने, “ए गेहजी, तँ कहाँबाट आएको?” त्यसले जवाफ दियो, “तपाईंको दास कतै गएन ।”
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?
एलीशाले गेहजीलाई भने, “ती मानिसले तँलाई भेट्न आफ्नो रथ घुमाउँदा के मेरो आत्मा तँसितै थिएन र? के यो रुपियाँ-पैसा र लत्ता कपडा, भद्राक्षका बोटहरू र दाखबारीहरू, भेडा-बाख्रा र गाई-गोरुहरू अनि कमारा-कमारीहरू ग्रहण गर्ने समय हो र?
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.
त्यसैले नामानको कुष्ठरोग तँ र तेरा सन्तानमाथि सधैँभरि रहनेछ ।” त्यसैले गेहजी हिउँजस्तै सेतो कुष्ठरोगी बनेर तिनको उपस्थितिबाट बाहिर गयो ।
