< 2 Kings 5 >
1 Naaman, the leader of the military of the king of Syria, was a great and honorable man with his lord. For through him the Lord gave salvation to Syria. And he was a strong and rich man, but a leper.
Aram manghai kah caempuei mangpa Naaman tah a boei mikhmuh ah hlang len la om. BOEIPA loh anih soah Aram ham loeihnah te a paek dongah a maelhmai khaw cawkdawk. Tekah hlang te tatthai hlangrhalh la om dae boeih pahuk.
2 Now robbers had gone out from Syria, and they had led away captive, from the land of Israel, a little girl. And she was in the service of the wife of Naaman.
Aram caem a caeh vaengah Israel kho lamkah hula ca a sol uh tih Naaman yuu kah mikhmuh ah a om pah.
3 And she said to her lady: “I wish that my lord had been with the prophet who is in Samaria. Certainly, he would have cured him of the leprosy that he has.”
A boeinu taengah te, “Ka boei he Samaria kah tonghma mikhmuh ah koinih a hmaibae he amah la a toi sue,” a ti nah.
4 And so, Naaman entered to his lord, and he reported to him, saying: “The girl from the land of Israel spoke in such a manner.”
Cet tih a boei te a voek phoeiah Israel kho kah hula loh a thui te heben hebang la a thui pah.
5 And the king of Syria said to him, “Go, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” And when he had set out, he had taken with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand gold coins, and ten changes of fine clothing.
Aram manghai loh, “Cet lamtah paan laeh. Israel manghai taengah ca ka pat bitni,” a ti nah. Te dongah cet tih a kut dongah cak talent parha, sui thawng rhuk, thovaelnah himbai yung rha a khuen.
6 And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, in these words: “When you will receive this letter, know that I have sent to you my servant, Naaman, so that you may heal him of his leprosy.”
Cabu te Israel manghai taengla a khuen tih, “Ca he nang taengla ha pawk coeng, ka sal Naaman te nang taengla kan tueih ne. Te dongah anih kah hmaibae te amah la toi pah mai,” a ti nah.
7 And when the king of Israel had read the letter, he tore his garments, and he said: “Am I God, so that I could take or give life, or so that this man would send to me to cure a man from his leprosy? Take notice and see that he is seeking occasions against me.”
Ca te Israel manghai loh a tae van neh a himbai te a phen tih, “Duek sak ham neh hing sak ham khaw kai he Pathen a? Hlang kah a hmaibae toi pah ham kai taengla he he ham pat. Te dongah rhep ming uh laeh lamtah anih loh kai taengah a hong te hmu uh,” a ti.
8 And when Elisha, the man of God, had heard this, specifically, that the king of Israel had torn his garments, he sent to him, saying: “Why have you torn your garments? Let him come to me, and let him know that there is a prophet in Israel.”
Israel manghai loh a himbai a phen te Pathen kah hlang Elisha loh a yaak. Te dongah manghai te a tah tih, “Balae tih na himbai na phen? Kai taengah lo pawn saeh lamtah Israel ah tonghma a om te ming saeh,” a ti nah.
9 Therefore, Naaman arrived with his horses and chariots, and he stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
Te dongah Naaman te a marhang neh cet tih a marhang khaw, a leng khaw Elisha im kah thohka ah a pai pah.
10 And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go, and wash seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will receive health, and you will be clean.”
Te vaengah Elisha loh a taengla puencawn a tueih pah tih,” Cet lamtah Jordan ah voei rhih sil uh. Na saa te maat vetih nang ham caihcil bitni,” a ti nah.
11 And becoming angry, Naaman went away, saying: “I thought that he would have come out to me, and, standing, would have invoked the name of the Lord, his God, and that he would have touched the place of the leprosy with his hand, and so have healed me.
Tedae Naaman te a thintoek neh cet tih, “'Kai taengla ha mop khaw ha mop mai vetih a pai doela a Pathen BOEIPA ming te a khue moko. A kut neh a hma he a yuh mai vetih aka pahuk he a toi mako,’ ka ti ne.
12 Are not the Abana and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel, so that I might wash in them and be cleansed?” But then, after he had turned himself away and was leaving with indignation,
Amanah kah Abana neh Damasku kah Pharpar tuiva he Israel tui boeih lakah a then moenih a? Te rhoek ah ka sil uh cakhaw ka caihcil mahpawt a?” a ti. Te phoeiah mael tih kosi neh cet.
13 his servants approached him, and they said to him: “If the prophet had told you, father, to do something great, certainly you ought to have done it. How much more so, now that he has said to you: ‘Wash, and you will be clean?’”
Tedae Naaman sal rhoek te thoeih uh tih amah te a thui pauh. Te vaengah, “A pa nae, tonghma loh nang taengah ol tloh thui koinih na ngai mahpawt nim? Te dongah nang te, 'Sil lamtah caihcil laeh,” a ti mai te,” a ti nah.
14 So he descended and washed in the Jordan seven times, in accord with the word of the man of God. And his flesh was restored, like the flesh of a little child. And he was made clean.
Te daengah suntla tih Pathen hlang kah ol bangla Jordan ah voei rhih nuem uh. Te vaengah a saa te camoe ca kah saa bangla a khaam pah tih a caihcil pah.
15 And returning to the man of God, with his entire retinue, he arrived, and stood before him, and he said: “Truly, I know there is no other God, in all the earth, except in Israel. And so I beg you to accept a blessing from your servant.”
Te dongah Pathen hlang taengah amah khaw a lambong boeih neh cet tih Elisha mikhmuh ah a pai pah. Israel khui bueng phoeiah tah diklai pum ah Pathen tloe om pawh tila ka ming coeng he. Te dongah na sal taeng lamkah yoethennah he doe mai laeh,” a ti nah.
16 But he responded, “As the Lord lives, before whom I stand, I will not accept it.” And though he urged him strongly, he did not agree at all.
Tedae,” BOEIPA kah hingnah bangla a mikhmuh ah ka pai coeng, ka lo mahpawh,” a ti nah. A doe hamla anih te a hloep dae a aal pah.
17 And Naaman said: “As you wish. But I beg you to grant to me, your servant, that I may take from here the burden of two mules from the ground. For your servant will no longer offer holocaust or victim to other gods, except to the Lord.
Naaman loh, “Na loh pawt oeh atah na sal he diklai muli-marhang pumnit phueih m'pae mai. Yahweh ham bueng phoeiah tah pathen tloe ham hmueihhlutnah neh hmueih te na sal loh ka saii voel mahpawh.
18 But there is still this matter, for which you will entreat the Lord on behalf of your servant: when my lord enters the temple of Rimmon, so that he may adore there, and he leans on my hand, if I will bow down in the temple of Rimmon, while he is adoring in the same place, that the Lord may ignore me, your servant, concerning this matter.”
He ol dongah khaw na sal he BOEIPA loh khodawkngai saeh. Ka boei khaw Rimmon im ah kun tih pahoi bakop coeng. Anih te ka kut dongah a hangdang vaengah tah Rimmon im ah ka bakop coeng. Rimmon im ah ka bakop mai cakhaw he ol lamlong tah na sal he BOEIPA loh khodawkngai mai saeh,” a ti nah.
19 And he said to him, “Go in peace.” Then he went away from him, in the elect time of the earth.
Te phoeiah anih te, “Sading la cet laeh,” a ti nah tih a taeng lamloh kho lak la cet.
20 And Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, said: “My lord has spared Naaman, this Syrian, by not receiving from him what he brought. As the Lord lives, I will run after him, and take something from him.”
Te vaengah Pathen hlang Elisha kah tueihyoeih Gehazi loh, “A khuen te a kut lamkah a doe pah ham khaw ka boei loh Arammi Naaman he a tuemsoem coeng. BOEIPA kah hingnah bangla a hnuk ah ka yong vetih anih taengkah khat khat ka lo ni,” a ti.
21 And so, Gehazi followed after the back of Naaman. And when he had seen him running toward him, he leaped down from his chariot to meet him, and he said, “Is all well?”
Gehazi loh Naaman hnuk a hloem vaengah a hnukah a yong pah te Naaman loh a hmuh. Te dongah anih doe ham te leng dong lamloh rhum tih, “Na sading ngawn nama?” a ti nah.
22 And he said: “It is well. My lord has sent me to you, saying: ‘Just now two youths from the sons of the prophets have come to me from mount Ephraim. Give them a talent of silver, and two changes of clothing.’”
Te vaengah, “Sading ngawn ue, ka boei loh kai n'tueih tih, 'Ephraim tlang lamkah tonghma koca lamkah camoe panit kai taengla tarha ha pawk coeng he, amih rhoi ham cak talent khat neh thovaelnah himbai yung nit m'pae mai,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
23 And Naaman said, “It is better that you accept two talents.” And he urged him, and he bound the two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing. And he set them upon two of his servants, who carried them before him.
Naaman loh, “Namah ngaih te talent panit khaw lo,” a ti nah. Anih te a pueh pah tih sungkoi panit dongah cak talent panit neh thovaelnah himbai yung nit a yom sak. Te phoeiah a tueihyoeih rhoi taengla a paek tih a hmai la ana phueih pah.
24 And when now he had arrived in the evening, he took them from their hands, and he stored them in the house. And he dismissed the men, and they went away.
Molpuei la a pawk vaengah amih kut lamkah te a loh tih im ah a tung. Te phoeiah hlang rhoek te a tueih tih khoe uh.
25 Then, having entered, he stood before his lord. And Elisha said, “Where are you coming from, Gehazi?” He responded, “Your servant did not go anywhere.”
Anih te kun tih a boei rhoek taengah a pai pah. Te vaengah Elisha loh anih te, “Me lamkah nim, Gehazi me lamkah nim?” a ti nah. Tedae, “Na sal he melam khaw a caeh moenih,” a ti nah.
26 But he said: “Was my heart not present, when the man turned back from his chariot to meet you? And now you have received money, and you have received garments, so that you might buy olive groves, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and men and women servants.
Hlang te nang doe ham a leng dong lamloh a mael vaengah ka lungbuei he anih taengah a caeh moenih a? Tangka na loh ham neh himbai, olive, misur, boiva, saelhung, salpa, salnu na loh ham a tue a?
27 So then, the leprosy of Naaman shall adhere to you, and to your offspring forever.” And he departed from him a leper, as white as snow.
Naaman kah hmaibae loh namah neh na tiingan te kumhal duela n'dom laeh saeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih mikhmuh lamkah a nong neh vuelsong bangla pahoi pahuk.
