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.
E Naaman, chefe do exercito do rei da Syria, era um grande homem diante do seu senhor, e de muito respeito; porque por elle o Senhor déra livremente aos syros: e era este varão homem valoroso, porém leproso.
2 Now the Aramaeans had gone out in bands, and taken prisoner from Israel a little girl, who became servant to Naaman's wife.
E sairam tropas da Syria, da terra d'Israel e, levaram presa uma menina que ficou ao serviço da mulher de Naaman.
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.
E disse esta á sua senhora: Oxalá que o meu senhor estivesse diante do propheta que está em Samaria: elle o restauraria da sua lepra.
4 And someone went and said to his lord, This is what the girl from the land of Israel says.
Então entrou Naaman e o notificou a seu senhor, dizendo: Assim e assim fallou a menina que é da terra de Israel.
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.
Então disse o rei da Syria: Vae, anda, e enviarei a carta ao rei de Israel. E foi, e tomou na sua mão dez talentos de prata, e seis mil siclos de oiro e dez mudas de vestidos.
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.
E levou a carta ao rei de Israel, dizendo: Logo, em chegando a ti esta carta, saibas que eu te enviei Naaman, meu servo, para que o restaures da sua lepra.
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?
E succedeu que, lendo o rei de Israel a carta, rasgou os seus vestidos, e disse: Sou eu Deus, para matar e para vivificar, para que este envie a mim, para eu restaurar a um homem da sua lepra? Pelo que devéras notae, peço-vos, e vede que busca occasião contra mim.
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.
Succedeu porém que, ouvindo Eliseo, homem de Deus, que o rei de Israel rasgara os seus vestidos, mandou dizer ao rei: Porque rasgaste os teus vestidos? deixa-o vir a mim, e saberá que ha propheta em Israel.
9 So Naaman, with all his horses and his carriages, came to the door of Elisha's house.
Veiu pois Naaman com os seus cavallos, e com o seu carro, e parou á porta da casa de Eliseo.
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.
Então Eliseo lhe mandou um mensageiro, dizendo: Vae, e lava-te sete vezes no Jordão, e a tua carne te tornará, e ficarás purificado.
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.
Porém Naaman muito se indignou, e se foi dizendo: Eis que eu dizia comigo: Certamente elle sairá, pôr-se-ha em pé, e invocará o nome do Senhor seu Deus, e passará a sua mão sobre o logar, e restaurará o leproso
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.
Não são porventura Abana e Farfar, rios de Damasco, melhores do que todas as aguas de Israel? Não me poderia eu lavar n'elles, e ficar purificado? E voltou-se, e se foi com indignação.
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?
Então chegaram-se a elle os seus servos, e lhe fallaram, e disseram: Meu pae, se o propheta te dissera alguma grande coisa, porventura não a farias? Quanto mais, dizendo-te elle: Lava-te, e ficarás purificado.
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.
Então desceu, e mergulhou no Jordão sete vezes, conforme a palavra do homem de Deus: e a sua carne tornou, como a carne d'um menino, e ficou purificado.
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.
Então voltou ao homem de Deus, elle e toda a sua comitiva, e veiu, e poz-se diante d'elle, e disse: Eis que tenho conhecido que em toda a terra não ha Deus senão em Israel: agora pois te peço que tomes uma benção do teu servo
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.
Porém elle disse: Vive o Senhor, em cuja presença estou, que a não tomarei. E instou com elle para que a tomasse, mas elle recusou.
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.
E disse Naaman: Quando não, comtudo dê-se a este teu servo uma carga de terra d'um jugo de mulas; porque nunca mais offerecerá este teu servo holocausto nem sacrificio a outros deuses, senão ao Senhor.
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.
N'isto perdoe o Senhor a teu servo: quando meu senhor entra na casa de Rimmon para ali se encurvar, e elle se encosta na minha mão, e eu tambem me hei de encurvar na casa de Rimmon; quando assim me encurvar na casa de Rimmon, n'isto perdoe o Senhor a teu servo.
19 And he said to him, Go in peace. And he went from him some distance.
E elle lhe disse: Vae em paz. E foi-se d'elle a uma pequena distancia.
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.
Então Geazi, moço d'Eliseo, homem de Deus, disse: Eis que meu senhor impediu a este syro Naaman que da sua mão se désse alguma coisa do que trazia; porém, vive o Senhor que hei de correr atraz d'elle, e tomar d'elle alguma coisa.
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?
E foi Geazi em alcance de Naaman; e Naaman, vendo que corria atraz d'elle, saltou do carro a encontral-o, e disse-lhe: Vae tudo bem?
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 elle disse: Tudo vae bem; meu senhor me mandou dizer: Eis que agora mesmo vieram a mim dois mancebos dos filhos dos prophetas da montanha d'Ephraim; dá-lhes pois um talento de prata e duas mudas de vestidos.
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.
E disse Naaman: Sê servido tomar dois talentos. E instou com elle, e amarrou dois talentos de prata em dois saccos, com duas mudas de vestidos; e pôl-os sobre dois dos seus moços, os quaes os levaram diante d'elle.
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.
E, chegando elle á altura, tomou-os das suas mãos, e os depositou na casa: e despediu aquelles homens, e foram-se.
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.
Então elle entrou, e poz-se diante de seu senhor. E disse-lhe Eliseo: D'onde vens, Geazi? E disse: Teu servo não foi nem a uma nem a outra parte.
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?
Porém elle lhe disse: Porventura não foi comtigo o meu coração, quando aquelle homem voltou de sobre o seu carro, a encontrar-te? Era isto tempo para tomares prata, e para tomares vestidos, e olivaes, e vinhas, e ovelhas, e bois e servos e servas?
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.
Portanto a lepra de Naaman se pegará a ti e á tua semente para sempre. Então saiu de diante d'elle leproso, branco como a neve.
