Kings IV 5
1 Now Naiman, the captain of the host of Syria, was a great man before his master, and highly respected, because by him the Lord had given deliverance to Syria, and the man was mighty in strength, [but] a leper.
I bješe Neman vojvoda cara Sirskoga èovjek velik u gospodara svojega i u èasti, jer preko njega saèuva Gospod Siriju; ali taj veliki junak bješe gubav.
2 And the Syrians went forth in small bands, and took captive out of the land of Israel a little maid: and she waited on Naiman's wife.
A iz Sirije izide èeta i zarobi u zemlji Izrailjskoj malu djevojku, te ona služaše ženu Nemanovu.
3 And she said to her mistress, O that my lord were before the prophet of God in Samaria; then he would recover him from his leprosy.
I ona reèe svojoj gospoði: o da bi moj gospodar otišao k proroku u Samariji! on bi ga oprostio od gube.
4 And she went in and told her lord, and said, Thus and thus spoke the maid from the land of Israel.
Tada on otide k svome gospodaru i javi mu govoreæi: tako i tako kaže djevojka iz zemlje Izrailjske.
5 And the king of Syria said to Naiman, Go to, go, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he went, and took in his hand ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.
A car Sirski reèe mu: hajde idi, a ja æu poslati knjigu caru Izrailjevu. I on otide, i ponese deset talanata srebra i šest tisuæa sikala zlata i desetore stajaæe haljine.
6 And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now then, as soon as this letter shall reach thee, behold, I have sent to thee my servant Naiman, and thou shalt recover him from his leprosy.
I odnese knjigu caru Izrailjevu, koja ovako govoraše: eto, kad ti doðe ova knjiga, znaj da šaljem k tebi Nemana slugu svojega da ga oprostiš gube.
7 And it came to pass, when the king of Israel read the letter, [that] he rent his garments, and said, [Am] I God, to kill and to make alive, that this [man] sends to me to recover a man of his leprosy? consider, however, I pray you, and see that this [man] seeks an occasion against me.
A kad car Izrailjev proèita knjigu, razdrije haljine svoje i reèe: zar sam ja Bog da mogu ubiti i povratiti život, te šalje k meni da oprostim èovjeka gube? Pazite i vidite kako traži zadjevice sa mnom.
8 And it came to pass, when Elisaie heard that the king of Israel had rent his garments, that he sent to the king of Israel, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy garments? Let Naiman, I pray thee, come to me, and let him know that there is a prophet in Israel.
A kad èu Jelisije èovjek Božji da je car Izrailjev razdro haljine svoje, posla k caru i poruèi: zašto si razdro haljine svoje? neka doðe k meni, da pozna da ima prorok u Izrailju.
9 So Naiman came with horse and chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisaie.
I tako doðe Neman s konjma i kolima svojim, i stade na vratima doma Jelisijeva.
10 And Elisaie sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash seven times in Jordan, and thy flesh shall return to thee, and thou shalt be cleansed.
A Jelisije posla k njemu i poruèi: idi i okupaj se sedam puta u Jordanu, i ozdraviæe tijelo tvoje, i oèistiæeš se.
11 And Naiman was angry, and departed, and said, Behold, I said, He will by all means come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of his God, and lay his hand upon the place, and recover the leper.
Tada se rasrdi Neman i poðe govoreæi: gle! ja mišljah, on æe izaæi k meni, i staæe, i prizvaæe ime Gospoda Boga svojega, i metnuti ruku svoju na mjesto, i oèistiti gubu.
12 [Are] not the Abana and Pharphar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not go and wash in them, and be cleansed? and he turned and went away in a rage.
Nijesu li Avana i Farfar vode u Damasku bolje od svijeh voda Izrailjskih? ne bih li se mogao u njima okupati i oèistiti? I okrenuvši se otide gnjevan.
13 And his servants came near and said to him, [Suppose] the prophet had spoken a great thing to thee, wouldest thou not perform it? yet he has but said to thee, Wash, and be cleansed.
Ali sluge njegove pristupivši rekoše mu govoreæi: oèe, da ti je kazao prorok što veliko, ne bi li uèinio? a zašto ne bi kad ti reèe: okupaj se, pa æeš se oèistiti?
14 So Naiman went down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the word of Elisaie: and his flesh returned to him as the flesh of a little child, and he was cleansed.
I tako siðe, i zaroni u Jordan sedam puta po rijeèi èovjeka Božijega, i tijelo njegovo posta kao u maloga djeteta, i oèisti se.
15 And he and all his company returned to Elisaie, and he came and stood before him, and said, Behold, I know that there is no God in all the earth, save only in Israel: and now receive a blessing of thy servant.
Tada se vrati k èovjeku Božijemu sa pratnjom svojom, i došav stade pred njim, i reèe: evo sad vidim da nema Boga nigdje na zemlji do u Izrailju. Nego uzmi dar od sluge svojega.
16 And Elisaie said, [As] the Lord lives, before whom I stand, I will not take [one]. And he pressed him to take [one]: but he would not.
Ali on reèe: tako da je živ Gospod, pred kojim stojim, neæu uzeti. I on navaljivaše na nj da uzme; ali on ne htje.
17 And Naiman said, Well then, if not, let there be given to thy servant, I pray thee, the load [of a] yoke of mules; and thou shalt give me of the red earth: for henceforth thy servant will not offer whole-burnt-offering or sacrifice to other gods, but only to the Lord by [reason of] this thing.
Tada reèe Neman: kad neæeš, a ono neka se da sluzi tvojemu ove zemlje koliko mogu ponijeti dvije mazge. Jer sluga tvoj neæe više prinositi žrtava paljenica ni drugih žrtava drugim bogovima, nego Gospodu.
18 And let the Lord be propitious to thy servant when my master goes into the house of Remman to worship there, and he shall lean on my hand, and I shall bow down in the house of Remman when he bows down in the house of Remman; even let the Lord, I pray, be merciful to thy servant in this matter.
A Gospod neka oprosti ovo sluzi tvojemu: kad gospodar moj uðe u dom Rimonov da se pokloni ondje, pa se prihvati za moju ruku, da se i ja poklonim u domu Rimonovu, neka oprosti Gospod sluzi tvojemu kad se tako poklonim u domu Rimonovu.
19 And Elisaie said to Naiman, Go in peace. And he departed from him a little way.
A on mu reèe: idi s mirom. I on otide od njega, i prijeðe jedno potrkalište.
20 And Giezi the servant of Elisaie said, Behold, my Lord has spared this Syrian Naiman, so as not to take of his hand what he has brought: as the Lord lives, I will surely run after him, and take somewhat of him.
Tada reèe Gijezije sluga Jelisija èovjeka Božijega: gle, gospodar moj ne htje primiti iz ruku toga Nemana Sirca što bješe donio. Ali tako da je živ Gospod, potrèaæu za njim i uzeæu što od njega.
21 So Giezi followed after Naiman: and Naiman saw him running after him, and turned back from his chariot to meet him.
I Gijezije otrèa za Nemanom. A kad ga vidje Neman gdje trèi za njim, skoèi s kola svojih i srete ga, pa mu reèe: je li dobro?
22 And [Giezi] said, All is well: my master has sent me, saying, Behold, now are there come to me two young men of the sons of the prophets from mount Ephraim; give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of raiment.
A on reèe: dobro je. Gospodar moj posla me da ti kažem: evo, baš sad doðoše k meni dva mladiæa iz gore Jefremove, proroèki sinovi, daj za njih talanat srebra i dvoje stajaæe haljine.
23 And [Naiman] said, Take two talents of silver. And he took two talents of silver in two bags, and two changes of raiment, and put them upon two of his servants, and they bore them before him.
A Neman reèe: uzmi i dva talanta. I natjera ga; i sveza dva talanta srebra u dva toboca, i dvoje stajaæe haljine, i dade dvojici momaka svojih, da nose pred njim.
24 And he came to a secret place, and took them from their hands, and laid them up in the house, and dismissed the men.
A on kad doðe na brdo, uze iz ruku njihovijeh i ostavi u jednoj kuæi, a ljude otpusti, te otidoše.
25 And he went in himself and stood before his master; and Elisaie said to him,
Potom došavši stade pred gospodarom svojim. A Jelisije mu reèe: otkle Gijezije? A on reèe: nije išao sluga tvoj nikuda.
26 Whence [comest thou], Giezi? and Giezi said, Thy servant has not been hither or thither. And Elisaie said to him, Went not my heart with thee, when the man returned from his chariot to meet thee? and now thou hast received silver, and now thou hast received raiment, and olive yards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants.
Ali mu on reèe: zar srce moje nije išlo onamo kad se èovjek vrati s kola svojih preda te? Zar je to bilo vrijeme uzimati srebro i uzimati haljine, maslinike, vinograde, ovce, goveda, sluge i sluškinje?
27 The leprosy also of Naiman shall cleave to thee, and to thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence leprous, like snow.
Zato guba Nemanova neka prione za te i za sjeme tvoje dovijeka. I otide od njega gubav, bio kao snijeg.
