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.
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 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.
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 mistress, O that my lord were before the prophet of God in Samaria; then he would recover him from his leprosy.
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 she went in and told her lord, and said, Thus and thus spoke the maid from the land of Israel.
Então entrou Naaman e o notificou a seu senhor, dizendo: Assim e assim fallou a menina que é da terra de Israel.
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.
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 brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now then, as soon as this letter shall reach you, behold, I have sent to you my servant Naiman, and you shall recover him from his leprosy.
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 And it came to pass, when the king of Israel read the letter, [that] he tore 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.
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 And it came to pass, when Elisaie heard that the king of Israel had tore his garments, that he sent to the king of Israel, saying, Therefore have you tore your garments? Let Naiman, I pray you, come to me, and let him know 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 Naiman came with horse and chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisaie.
Veiu pois Naaman com os seus cavallos, e com o seu carro, e parou á porta da casa de Eliseo.
10 And Elisaie sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash seven times in Jordan, and your flesh shall return to you, and you shall be cleansed.
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 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.
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 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.
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 And his servants came near and said to him, [Suppose] the prophet had spoken a great thing to you, would you not perform it? yet he has but said to you, Wash, and be cleansed.
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 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.
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 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 your servant.
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 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.
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 And Naiman said, Well then, if not, let there be given to your servant, I pray you, the load [of a] yoke of mules; and you shall give me of the red earth: for henceforth your servant will not offer whole burnt offering or sacrifice to other gods, but only to the Lord by [reason of] this thing.
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 And let the Lord be propitious to your 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 your servant in this matter.
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 Elisaie said to Naiman, Go in peace. And he departed from him a little way.
E elle lhe disse: Vae em paz. E foi-se d'elle a uma pequena distancia.
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.
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 Giezi followed after Naiman: and Naiman saw him running after him, and turned back from his chariot to meet him.
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 [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 you, a talent of silver, and two changes of raiment.
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 [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.
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 And he came to a secret place, and took them from their hands, and laid them up in the house, and dismissed the men.
E, chegando elle á altura, tomou-os das suas mãos, e os depositou na casa: e despediu aquelles homens, e foram-se.
25 And he went in himself and stood before his master; and Elisaie said to him,
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 Whence [come you], Giezi? and Giezi said, Your servant has not been hither or there. And Elisaie said to him, Went not my heart with you, when the man returned from his chariot to meet you? and now you have received silver, and now you have received raiment, and olive yards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants.
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 The leprosy also of Naiman shall cleave to you, and to your seed for ever. And he went out from his presence leprous, like 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.
