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.
Torej Naamán, poveljnik vojske sirskega kralja, je bil plemenit mož pri svojem gospodarju in častitljiv, ker je po njem Gospod dal Siriji osvoboditev. Bil je tudi mogočen mož v hrabrosti, toda bil je gobavec.
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.
Sirci so hodili ven po skupinah in iz izraelske dežele odvedli ujetnico, malo deklico; in ta je čakala na Naamánovo ženo.
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.”
Svoji gospodarici je rekla: »Da bi Bog dal, da bi bil moj gospodar s prerokom, ki je v Samariji! Kajti on bi odvzel njegovo gobavost.«
4 And Naaman went and told his master what the girl from the land of Israel had said.
Nekdo je vstopil in to povedal svojemu gospodarju, rekoč: »Tako in tako je govorila služabnica, ki je iz Izraelove dežele.«
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.
Kralj Sirije je rekel: »Odpravi se, pojdi, jaz pa bom poslal pismo Izraelovemu kralju.« Odpotoval je in s seboj vzel deset talentov srebra, šest tisoč koščkov zlata in deset zamenjav oblačil.
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.”
Izraelovemu kralju je prinesel pismo, rekoč: »Sedaj, ko je to pismo prišlo k tebi, glej, sem z njim poslal k tebi svojega služabnika Naamána, da mu lahko odvzameš njegovo gobavost.«
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!”
Pripetilo se je, ko je Izraelov kralj prebral pismo, da je pretrgal svoja oblačila in rekel: » Sem jaz Bog, da ubijem in oživim, da je ta človek poslal k meni, da možu odvzamem njegovo gobavost? Zatorej preudarite, prosim vas in glejte, kako zoper mene išče spor.«
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.”
Bilo je tako, ko je Božji mož Elizej slišal, da je Izraelov kralj pretrgal svoja oblačila, da je poslal h kralju, rekoč: »Zakaj si pretrgal svoja oblačila? Naj torej pride k meni in vedel bo, da je v Izraelu prerok.«
9 So Naaman came with his horses and chariots and stood at the door of Elisha’s house.
Tako je Naamán prišel s svojimi konji in s svojim bojnim vozom in obstal pri vratih Elizejeve hiše.
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.”
Elizej pa je k njemu poslal poslanca, rekoč: »Pojdi in se sedemkrat umij v Jordanu in tvoje meso bo ponovno prišlo k tebi in boš čist.«
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.
Toda Naaman je bil ogorčen in odšel ter rekel: »Glej, mislil sem: ›Zagotovo bo prišel ven k meni, obstal in klical k imenu Gospoda, svojega Boga in s svojo roko udaril nad mestom in odvzel gobavost.‹
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.
Mar nista Abána in Parpár, reki v Damasku, boljši kakor vse Izraelove vode? Ali se ne bi mogel umiti v njima in bi bil čist?« Tako se je obrnil in v besu odšel proč.
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’?”
Njegovi služabniki so prišli blizu, mu spregovorili in rekli: »Moj oče, če bi ti prerok naročil, da storiš neko veliko stvar, ali ne bi ti tega storil? Koliko bolj potem, ko ti je rekel: ›Umij se in bodi čist?‹«
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.
Potem je odšel dol, se sedemkrat potopil v Jordanu, glede na izrek Božjega moža in njegovo meso je ponovno prišlo kakor meso majhnega otroka in bil je čist.
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.”
Vrnil se je k Božjemu možu, on in vsa njegova skupina in prišel ter obstal pred njim in rekel: »Glej, sedaj vem, da ni Boga na vsej zemlji, razen v Izraelu. Sedaj torej, prosim te, vzemi blagoslov od svojega služabnika.«
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.
Toda on je rekel: » Kakor živi Gospod, pred katerim stojim, ne bom ničesar sprejel.« Silil ga je, da to vzame; toda zavrnil je.
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.
Naamán je rekel: »Ali ne bo, prosim te, dano tvojemu služabniku, tovor prsti za dve muli? Kajti tvoj služabnik odslej ne bo daroval niti žgalne daritve niti klavne daritve drugim bogovom, razen Gospodu.
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.”
V tej stvari pa naj Gospod odpusti svojemu služabniku, da ko gre moj gospodar v Rimónovo hišo, da tam obožuje in se naslanja na mojo roko in se priklonim v Rimónovi hiši. Ko se priklonim v Rimónovi hiši, naj Gospod v tej stvari odpusti svojemu služabniku.«
19 “Go in peace,” said Elisha. But after Naaman had traveled a short distance,
Rekel mu je: »Pojdi v miru.« Tako je odšel od njega del poti.
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.”
Toda Gehazí, služabnik Božjega moža Elizeja, je rekel: »Glej, moj gospodar je prizanesel temu Sircu Naamánu v tem, da iz njegovih rok ni sprejel tega, kar je prinesel. Toda kakor živi Gospod bom stekel za njim in od njega nekaj vzel.«
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?”
Tako je Gehazí sledil Naamánu. Ko ga je Naamán videl teči za seboj, je upočasnil bojni voz, da ga sreča in rekel: » Ali je vse dobro?«
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.’”
Ta je rekel: »Vse je dobro. Moj gospodar me je poslal, rekoč: ›Glej, celo sedaj sta prišla k meni z gore Efrájim dva mladeniča izmed preroških sinov. Daj jima, prosim te, talent srebra in dve menjavi oblačil.‹«
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.
Naamán je rekel: »Bodi zadovoljen, vzemi dva talenta.« Silil ga je in dva talenta srebra povezal v dve vreči, z dvema menjavama oblačil in jih položil na dva izmed svojih služabnikov in nosila sta jih pred njim.
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.
Ko je prišel k stolpu, jih je vzel iz njune roke in jih shranil v hiši, moža pa je pustil oditi in sta odšla.
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.
Toda sam je vstopil in obstal pred svojim gospodarjem. Elizej mu je rekel: »Od kod prihajaš, Gehazí?« Rekel je: »Tvoj služabnik ni šel nikamor.«
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?
Rekel mu je: »Mar ni moje srce odšlo s teboj, ko se je mož ponovno obrnil nazaj iz svojega bojnega voza, da te sreča? Mar je čas, da prejemaš denar, da prejemaš obleke, oljčne nasade, vinograde, ovce, vole, služabnike in dekle?
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.
Zato se bo Naamánova gobavost trdno prijela tebe in tvojega semena na veke.« In izpred njegove prisotnosti je odšel gobav, tako bel kakor sneg.
