2 Kings 5
1 Now Naaman, chief of the army of the king of Aram, was a man of high position with his master, and greatly respected, because by him the Lord had given salvation to Aram; but he was a leper.
Nʼoge a, Neeman bụ ọchịagha ndị agha eze Aram, Ọ bụ onye dị ukwuu nʼanya nna ya ukwu, bụrụkwa onye a na-enye nsọpụrụ nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼaka ya nye ndị agha Aram mmeri nʼọgbọ agha dị iche iche. Ọ bụ dike na dimkpa nʼagha, maọbụ onye ekpenta.
2 Now the Aramaeans had gone out in bands, and taken prisoner from Israel a little girl, who became servant to Naaman's wife.
Otu mgbe, ụfọdụ nʼime ndị agha Aram na-apụnara ndị mmadụ ihe pụrụ ga dọta otu nwaagbọghọ nta site nʼIzrel, onye na-ejere nwunye Neeman ozi.
3 And she said to her master's wife, If only my lord would go to the prophet in Samaria, he would make him well.
Ọ sịrị nne ya ukwu, “Ọ gaara atọ m ụtọ ma a sị na nna m ukwu ga-aga hụ onye amụma nọ na Sameria. Ọ ga-agwọ ya ọrịa ekpenta a.”
4 And someone went and said to his lord, This is what the girl from the land of Israel says.
Neeman nụrụ nke a, bilie gaa kọọrọ eze Aram ihe niile nwaagbọghọ a si Izrel kwuru.
5 So the king of Aram said, Go then; and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he went, taking with him ten talents of silver and six thousand shekels of gold, and ten changes of clothing.
Eze Aram sịrị, “Bilie, gaa, aga m ezigakwara eze Izrel akwụkwọ ozi.” Ya mere Neeman gara, ọ chịịrị talenti ọlaọcha iri, na puku shekel ọlaedo isii, na uwe ọma dị iche iche, nke dị iri nʼọnụọgụgụ.
6 And he took the letter to the king of Israel, in which the king of Aram had said, See, I have sent my servant Naaman to you to be made well, for he is a leper.
Nke a bụkwa ihe dị nʼime akwụkwọ ahụ eze Aram degaara eze Izrel: “Nwoke a ji akwụkwọ a bịakwute gị bụ Neeman, onyeisi ndị agha m. Biko, achọrọ m ka ị gwọọ ya ọrịa ekpenta dị ya nʼahụ.”
7 But the king of Israel, after reading the letter, was greatly troubled and said, Am I God, to give death and life? why does this man send a leper to me to be made well? is it not clear that he is looking for a cause of war?
Ngwangwa eze Izrel gụrụ akwụkwọ ahụ, ọ dọwara uwe ya sị, “Abụ m Chineke? A pụrụ m ime ka mmadụ nwụọ na ime ka mmadụ dị ndụ? Gịnị mere nwoke a ji ezitere m onye m ga-agwọ ọrịa ekpenta? Lee ka o si na-achọ ụzọ anyị ga-eji nwee esemokwu.”
8 Now Elisha, the man of God, hearing that the king of Israel had done this, sent to the king, saying, Why are you troubled? send the man to me, so that he may see that there is a prophet in Israel.
Mgbe Ịlaisha onye Chineke nụrụ na eze Izrel dọwara uwe ya, o ziri ozi a zigara ya sị, “Gịnị mere i ji dọwaa uwe gị? Zitere m Neeman. Ọ ga-amatakwa na e nwere onye amụma nʼIzrel.”
9 So Naaman, with all his horses and his carriages, came to the door of Elisha's house.
Ya mere, Neeman bịarutere guzo nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ Ịlaisha, ya na ịnyịnya ya, na ụgbọ agha ya.
10 And Elisha sent a servant to him, saying, Go to Jordan, and after washing seven times in its waters your flesh will be well again and you will be clean.
Ịlaisha zigara onyeozi ya nke bịara zie sị ya, “Jee saa ahụ gị ugboro asaa nʼosimiri Jọdan. I mee nke a, ekpenta ahụ ga-esi nʼakụkụ ahụ gị niile pụọ. Ị ga-adịkwa ọcha.”
11 But Naaman was angry and went away and said, I had the idea that he would come out to see such an important person as I am, and make prayer to the Lord his God, and with a wave of his hand over the place make the leper well.
Ma Neeman were iwe nke ukwuu tụgharịa bido ịlaghachi ebe o si bịa. Mgbe ọ na-ala, ọ na-ekwu na-asị, “Echere m na ọ ga-apụkwute m, guzo, kpọkuo aha Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya, fufee aka ya nʼebe ahụ ọrịa m dị, gwọọ m ọrịa ekpenta m.
12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not be washed in them and become clean? So turning, he went away in wrath.
Abana na Fapa, bụ osimiri dị na Damaskọs, ha adịghị mma karịa mmiri Izrel niile? Ọ bụ na m enweghị ike ịsa ahụ nʼime ha ma dị ọcha.” Ọ tụgharịrị jiri ọnụma pụọ.
13 Then his servants came to him and said, If the prophet had given you orders to do some great thing, would you not have done it? how much more then, when he says to you, Be washed and become clean?
Ma ndị ozi Neeman jekwuru ya sị ya, “Nna anyị, a sị na ọ bụ ihe sịrị ike nke ukwuu ka onye amụma ahụ gwara gị sị gị mee, ị garaghị eme ya? Ma ihe ọ sị gị mee bụ naanị ‘Gaa saa ahụ gị ka ị dị ọcha.’”
14 Then he went down seven times into the waters of Jordan, as the man of God had said; and his flesh became like the flesh of a little child again, and he was clean.
Ya mere, ọ gara sụnye onwe ya nʼime osimiri Jọdan ugboro asaa, dịka onye nke Chineke gwara ya. Anụ ahụ ya lọghachiri dị ọcha ka anụ ahụ nwantakịrị.
15 Then he went back to the man of God, with all his train, and, taking his place before him, said, Now I am certain that there is no God in all the earth, but only in Israel: now then, take an offering from me.
Mgbe ahụ, Neeman na ndị niile ya na ha so laghachikwutere onye nke Chineke. O guzoro nʼihu ya sị, “Ugbu a amatala m na ọ dịghị Chineke ọzọ dị nʼụwa niile ma ọ bụghị naanị nʼIzrel. Ya mere, biko, nara onyinye a site nʼaka ohu gị.”
16 But he said, By the life of the Lord whose servant I am, I will take nothing from you. And he did his best to make him take it but he would not.
Ma Ịlaisha zara sị ya, “Dịka Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ, bụ onye m na-ejere ozi, agaghị m ana gị ihe ọbụla.” Ma Neeman rịọrọ ya arịrịọ ka ọ nara ya, ma ọ jụrụ ajụ.
17 Then Naaman said, If you will not, then let there be given to your servant as much earth as two beasts are able to take on their backs; because from now on, your servant will make no offering or burned offering to other gods, but only to the Lord.
Mgbe ahụ Neeman sịrị, “Ọ bụrụ na ị gaghị anara, biko, kwerenụ ka m kporo aja nke ịnyịnya abụọ nwere ike ibu. Nʼihi na site ugbu a gaa nʼihu, agaghị m achụrụ chi ọzọ aja nsure ọkụ, ma ọ bụghị naanị Onyenwe anyị.
18 But may your servant have the Lord's forgiveness for this one thing: when my master goes into the house of Rimmon for worship there, supported on my arm, and my head is bent in the house of Rimmon; when his head is bent in the house of Rimmon, may your servant have the Lord's forgiveness for this thing.
Ma ka Onyenwe anyị gbaghara ohu gị naanị otu ihe a. Mgbe nna m ukwu banyere nʼụlọ arụsị Rimọn ịkpọ isiala, mgbe ọ na-adabere nʼaka m, nke ga-eme ka mụ onwe m kpọọkwa isiala. Mgbe m si otu a kpọọ isiala nʼụlọ arụsị Rimọn, ka Onyenwe anyị gbaghara ohu gị nʼihi nke a.”
19 And he said to him, Go in peace. And he went from him some distance.
Ịlaisha zara sị ya, “Ọ dị mma, laa nʼudo.” Mgbe Neeman lawara, o jerubeghị ebe dị anya,
20 But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha, the man of God, said, Now my master has taken nothing from Naaman, this Aramaean, of what he would have given him: by the living Lord, I will go after him and get something from him.
Gehazi, bụ onyeozi Ịlaisha onye nke Chineke, sịrị nʼobi ya, “Nna m ukwu emezighị ikwere ka Neeman onye Aram laa na-anataghị ya ihe o ji bịa. Dịka Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ, aga m eji ọsọ gbakwuru ya napụta ya ụfọdụ ihe ahụ.”
21 So Gehazi went after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he got down from his carriage and went back to him and said, Is all well?
Ya mere, Gehazi gbara ọsọ gbakwuru Neeman. Mgbe Neeman hụrụ ya ka ọ gba ọsọ na-abịa, o si nʼelu ụgbọ agha ya wudata gaa zute ya, jụọ ya sị: “Udo ọ dịkwa?”
22 And he said, All is well: but my master has sent me, saying, Even now, two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill-country of Ephraim; will you give me a talent of silver and two changes of clothing for them?
“E, udo dị,” ka Gehazi zara, “Onyenwe m zitere m ka m gwa gị, ‘Lee, ụmụ okorobịa abụọ nʼetiti ndị amụma si nʼugwu Ifrem bịakwute m. Biko nye ha otu talenti ọlaọcha na uwe mgbanwe abụọ.’”
23 And Naaman said, Be good enough to take two talents. And forcing him to take them, he put two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and gave them to his two servants to take before him.
Ma Neeman zara sị ya, “Biko, were talenti abụọ.” Ọ kwagidere Gehazi ka ọ nara ha. O kechiri talenti ọlaọcha abụọ ahụ nʼakpa abụọ, tinyere uwe mgbanwe abụọ. O bunyere ndị ohu ya ka ha buru ya na-aga nʼihu Gehazi.
24 When he came to the hill, he took them from their hands, and put them away in the house; and he sent the men away, and they went.
Ma mgbe ha rutere nʼugwu, Gehazi naara ndị ohu Neeman ihe ndị ahụ, sị ha laghachikwa. O zoro ihe ndị ahụ nʼime ụlọ.
25 Then he came in and took his place before his master. And Elisha said to him, Where have you come from, Gehazi? And he said, Your servant went nowhere.
Mgbe ọ batara nʼụlọ guzo nʼihu nna ya ukwu, Ịlaisha jụrụ ya sị, “Ebee ka i si na-abịa Gehazi?” Ọ zara, “Ohu gị ejeghị ebe ọbụla.”
26 And he said to him, Did not my heart go with you, when the man got down from his carriage and went back to you? Is this a time for getting money, and clothing, and olive-gardens and vine-gardens, and sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants?
Mgbe ahụ Ịlaisha zara ya, “Ọ bụ na mmụọ m esoghị gị mgbe nwoke ahụ si nʼụgbọ ya rịdata izute gị? Oge a ọ bụ oge ịnara ego, na ịnara uwe, na ịnara ubi oliv, na ubi vaịnị, na igwe ehi, na igwe atụrụ, na ndị ohu ndị ikom, na ndị ohu ndị inyom na-eje ozi?
27 Because of what you have done, the disease of Naaman the leper will take you in its grip, and your seed after you, for ever. And he went out from before him a leper as white as snow.
Nʼihi nke a, ekpenta ahụ dị Neeman ga-abịakwasị gị, na ụmụ ụmụ gị, ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.” Ya mere, Gehazi ghọrọ onye ekpenta si nʼihu ya pụọ. Anụ ahụ ya bidokwara ịcha ọcha dịka ogho ọcha.
