< 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.
Naamani jẹ́ olórí ogun ọba Aramu. Ó jẹ́ ènìyàn ńlá níwájú ọ̀gá rẹ̀, wọ́n sì bu ọlá fún un, nítorí nípasẹ̀ rẹ̀ ni Olúwa ti fi ìṣẹ́gun fún Aramu. Òun jẹ́ alágbára, akọni ọkùnrin ṣùgbọ́n, ó dẹ́tẹ̀.
2 Now the Aramaeans had gone out in bands, and taken prisoner from Israel a little girl, who became servant to Naaman's wife.
Nísinsin yìí ẹgbẹgbẹ́ láti Aramu ti jáde lọ láti mú ọmọ obìnrin kékeré kan ní ìgbèkùn láti Israẹli, ó sì sin ìyàwó Naamani.
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.
Ó sọ fún ọ̀gá rẹ̀ obìnrin pé, “Tí ó bá jẹ́ wí pé ọ̀gá mi lè rí wòlíì tí ó wà ní Samaria! Yóò wò ó sàn kúrò nínú ẹ̀tẹ̀ rẹ̀.”
4 And someone went and said to his lord, This is what the girl from the land of Israel says.
Naamani lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọ̀gá rẹ̀ ó sì wí fún un ohun tí ọmọbìnrin Israẹli ti sọ.
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.
“Ní gbogbo ọ̀nà, lọ,” ọba Aramu dá a lóhùn pé, “Èmi yóò fi ìwé ránṣẹ́ sí ọba Israẹli.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Naamani lọ, ó sì mú pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ tálẹ́ǹtì fàdákà mẹ́wàá, ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́fà ìwọ̀n wúrà àti ìpààrọ̀ aṣọ mẹ́wàá.
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.
Ìwé tí ó mú lọ sọ́dọ̀ ọba Israẹli kà pé, “Pẹ̀lú ìwé yìí èmi ń rán ìránṣẹ́ mi Naamani sí ọ pé o lè wò ó sàn kúrò nínú ẹ̀tẹ̀ rẹ̀.”
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?
Bí ọba Israẹli ti ka ìwé náà ó fa aṣọ rẹ̀ ya, ó sì wí pé, “Èmi ha jẹ́ Ọlọ́run? Ǹjẹ́ èmi le pa kí n sì mú wá sí ààyè padà? Kí ni ó dé tí eléyìí rán ènìyàn sí mi láti wo ààrùn ẹ̀tẹ̀ rẹ sàn, kí ẹ wo bí ó ti ń wá ọ̀nà láti wá ìjà pẹ̀lú mi!”
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.
Nígbà tí Eliṣa ènìyàn Ọlọ́run gbọ́ pé ọba Israẹli ti ya aṣọ rẹ̀, ó sì rán iṣẹ́ yìí sí i pé, “Kí ni ó dé tí o fi fa aṣọ rẹ ya? Jẹ́ kí ọkùnrin náà wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi. Òun yóò sì mọ̀ pé wòlíì wà ní Israẹli.”
9 So Naaman, with all his horses and his carriages, came to the door of Elisha's house.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Naamani sì lọ pẹ̀lú ẹṣin rẹ̀ àti kẹ̀kẹ́ rẹ̀ ó sì dúró ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà ilé Eliṣa.
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.
Eliṣa rán ìránṣẹ́ láti lọ sọ fún un pé, “Lọ, wẹ̀ ara rẹ ní ìgbà méje ní odò Jordani, ẹran-ara rẹ yóò sì tún padà bọ̀ sípò, ìwọ yóò sì mọ́.”
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n Naamani lọ pẹ̀lú ìbínú ó sì wí pé, “Mo lérò pé yóò sì dìde jáde wá nítòótọ́ sí mi, yóò sì pe orúkọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run, fi ọwọ́ rẹ̀ lórí ibẹ̀ kí ó sì wo ẹ̀tẹ̀ mi sàn.
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 àti Fapari, odò Damasku kò ha dára ju gbogbo omi Israẹli lọ? Ṣé èmi kò le wẹ̀ nínú wọn kí n sì mọ́?” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó yípadà, ó sì lọ pẹ̀lú ìrunú.
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?
Ìránṣẹ́ Naamani lọ sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ ó sì wí pé, “Baba mi, tí wòlíì bá ti sọ fún ọ láti ṣe ohun ńlá kan, ṣé ìwọ kì bá ti ṣe, mélòó mélòó nígbà náà, nígbà tí ó sọ fún ọ pé, ‘Wẹ̀ kí o sì mọ́’!”
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ ó sì tẹ ara rẹ̀ bọ inú odò Jordani ní ìgbà méje, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ènìyàn Ọlọ́run ti sọ fún un, ẹran-ara rẹ̀ sì tún padà sí mímọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọmọkùnrin kékeré.
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.
Nígbà náà Naamani àti gbogbo àwọn ìránṣẹ́ padà lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ènìyàn Ọlọ́run. Ó sì dúró níwájú rẹ̀ ó sì wí pé, “Nísinsin yìí èmi mọ̀ pé kò sí Ọlọ́run ní gbogbo àgbáyé àyàfi ní Israẹli nìkan. Jọ̀wọ́ gba ẹ̀bùn láti ọwọ́ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ.”
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.
Wòlíì náà dáhùn pé, “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti ń bẹ láààyè, ẹni tí mo ń sìn, èmi kò nígbà ohun kan,” bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé Naamani rọ̀ ọ́ láti gbà á, ó kọ̀.
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.
Naamani wí pé, “Tí o kò bá nígbà, jọ̀wọ́ jẹ́ kí a fi fún èmi ìránṣẹ́ rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀pọ̀ ẹrù erùpẹ̀ tí ìbáaka méjì le rù, nítorí láti òní lọ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ kì yóò rú ẹbọ sísun àti rú ẹbọ sí ọ̀kan lára àwọn ọlọ́run mìíràn mọ́ bí kò ṣe sí Olúwa.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n kí Olúwa kí ó dáríjì ìránṣẹ́ rẹ fún nǹkan yìí. Nígbà tí ọ̀gá mi wọ inú ilé Rimoni láti fi orí balẹ̀ tí ó sì fi ara ti ọwọ́ mi tí mo sì tẹ ara mi ba pẹ̀lú níbẹ̀. Nígbà tí èmi tẹ ara mi ba ní ilé Rimoni, kí Olúwa dáríjì ìránṣẹ́ rẹ fún èyí.”
19 And he said to him, Go in peace. And he went from him some distance.
Eliṣa wí pé, “Máa lọ ní àlàáfíà.” Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Naamani tí rin ìrìnàjò tí ó jìnnà,
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.
Gehasi, ìránṣẹ́ Eliṣa ènìyàn Ọlọ́run, ó wí fún ara rẹ̀ pé, “Ọ̀gá mi jẹ́ ẹni tí ó rọ́nú lórí Naamani, ará Aramu, nípa pé kò gba ohunkóhun ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀ ohun tí ó mú wá, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti ń bẹ láààyè, èmi yóò sá tẹ̀lé e èmi yóò sì gba ohun kan ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀.”
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?
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Gehasi sáré tẹ̀lé Naamani. Nígbà tí Naamani rí i tí ó ń sáré tẹ̀lé e, ó sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ lórí kẹ̀kẹ́ láti pàdé rẹ̀. “Ṣé gbogbo nǹkan wà dáradára?” ó béèrè.
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?
“Gbogbo nǹkan wà dáradára,” Gehasi dá a lóhùn. “Ọ̀gá mi rán mi láti sọ wí pé, ‘Àwọn ọ̀dọ́ ọmọkùnrin méjì láti ọ̀dọ̀ ọmọ wòlíì wọ́n ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi láti orí òkè ìlú ti Efraimu. Jọ̀wọ́ fún wọn ní ẹ̀bùn fàdákà àti ìpààrọ̀ aṣọ méjì.’”
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.
Naamani wí pé, “Ní gbogbo ọ̀nà, mú ẹ̀bùn méjì.” Ó sì rọ Gehasi láti gbà wọ́n, ó sì di ẹ̀bùn méjì náà ti fàdákà ní inú àpò méjì, pẹ̀lú ìpààrọ̀ aṣọ méjì, ó sì fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ méjì, wọ́n sì kó wọn lọ sọ́dọ̀ Gehasi.
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.
Nígbà tí Gehasi sì dé ibi ilé ìṣọ́, ó gbà wọ́n lọ́wọ́ wọn, ó sì tó wọ́n sínú ilé, ó sì jọ̀wọ́ àwọn ọkùnrin náà lọ́wọ́ lọ, wọ́n sì jáde lọ.
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.
Nígbà náà ó sì wọlé wá ó sì dúró níwájú ọ̀gá rẹ̀ Eliṣa. “Níbo ni o ti wà Gehasi?” Eliṣa béèrè. “Ìránṣẹ́ rẹ kò lọ sí ibìkan kan.” Gehasi dá a lóhùn.
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?
Ṣùgbọ́n Eliṣa wí fún un pé, “Ẹ̀mí mi kò ha wà pẹ̀lú rẹ nígbà tí ọkùnrin náà sọ̀kalẹ̀ lórí kẹ̀kẹ́ láti pàdé rẹ? Ṣé àsìkò tí ó yẹ láti gba owó nìyìí, tàbí láti gba aṣọ, ọgbà olifi, ọgbà àjàrà, àgùntàn, màlúù tàbí ìránṣẹ́kùnrin àti ìránṣẹ́bìnrin?
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.
Ẹ̀tẹ̀ Naamani yóò lẹ̀ mọ́ ọ àti sí irú-ọmọ rẹ títí láé.” Nígbà náà Gehasi kúrò níwájú Eliṣa, ó sì di adẹ́tẹ̀, ó sì funfun gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀gbọ̀n òwú.
