< 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.
Koro Naaman ne en jatend to jolweny mar ruodh Aram. Ne en ngʼat ma ruodhe ogeno kendo morgo, nikech kokalo kuome Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo jo-Aram oloyo lweny. Ne en jalweny molony kendo ma jachir, to kata kamano ne en ja-dhoho.
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.
Jolweny moa Aram nodhi momako nyako matin ma nyar Israel kendo ne en jatij chi Naaman.
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.”
Nyakono nowachone chi Naaman niya, “Ka dipo ni ruodha ne nyalo dhi ir janabi modak Samaria, to donge ne onyalo change kuom dhohone.”
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.”
Naaman nodhi ir ruodhe mowachone gima jatich ma nyar jo-Israel owacho.
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.
Ruodh Aram nodwoko niya, “Dhi ma ok ilewo. Abiro oro baruwa ne ruodh Israel.” Omiyo Naaman nowuok mokawo mich mar fedha ma pekne romo kilo mia adek gi piero angʼwen, dhahabu ma pekne romo kilo piero abiriyo kod lewni motwe nyadipar.
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.”
Baruwa mane okawo koterone ruodh Israel nondik kama: “Gi baruwani aoro jatichna Naaman iri mondo ichange kuom dhoho man kuome.”
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.”
Kane ruodh Israel osomo baruwano, ne oyiecho lepe kowacho niya, “An e Nyasaye koso, ma anyalo nego ngʼato kata miye ngima? Ere kaka ngʼatni oro ngʼato ira mondo achang dhohone. Neye kaka odwaro chako koda lweny!”
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.”
Kane Elisha ngʼat Nyasaye owinjo ni ruodh Israel oyiecho lepe, ne oorone wach kama, “Angʼo momiyo iseyiecho lepi? We ngʼatno obi ira kendo enongʼe ni nitie janabi e piny Israel.”
9 Therefore, Naaman arrived with his horses and chariots, and he stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
Omiyo Naaman nowuok modhi gi farese kod geche mag lweny nyaka e dhood Elisha.
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.”
Elisha ne ooro jatichne mondo odhi okone niya, “Dhiyo, inyumri e aoro Jordan nyadibiriyo, to dendi biro chango kendo ibiro pwodhori.”
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.
To Naaman nowuok odhi ka iye owangʼ kowacho niya, “Ne aparo ni dowuog obi ira mi ochungʼ kendo oluong nying Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache, korieyo bade kama tuo nitie mondo ochang dhohona.
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,
Aore man Damaski ma gin Abana kod Farpar, donge beyo moloyo aore mag Israel? Donge ne anyalo lwokora e aorego mi achangi?” Omiyo nodok ka iye owangʼ.
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?’”
Jotich Naaman nodhi ire mokwaye niya, “Wuonwa, kapo ni janabi dine okwayi mondo itim gik matek, donge dine itimogi? To koro ka owacho mana niya, ‘Dhi ilwokri mondo ichangi ibed mapoth’!”
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.
Bangʼ mano nodhi monimo e aora Jordan nyadibiriyo mana kaka ngʼat Nyasaye nowachone kendo dende nochango mobedo mapoth ka mar wuowi ma rawera.
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.”
Eka Naaman kod jotichne duto nodok ir ngʼat Nyasaye. Nochungʼ e nyime mowachone niya, Koro angʼeyo ni onge Nyasaye moro e piny mangima makmana e Israel. Koro kiyie kaw mich moa kuom jatichni.
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.
To janabi nodwoke niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima, ma atiyone, ni ok anakaw gimoro kuomi.” Kata obedo ni Naaman nomedo saye kamano, nodagi.
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 nokone niya, “Ka idagi, to we mondo an jatichni miya lowo moromo kenje ariyo tingʼo, nikech chakre kawuono ok abi timo misango miwangʼo pep kod misango moro amora ne nyasaye moro makmana Jehova Nyasaye.
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.”
Gimoro achiel ma Jehova Nyasaye onego ngʼwon-ne jatichne ema: Ruodha pod biro donjo e od Rimon nyasaye mondo olem kuno, koyiengore e bada. Obiro kulore e od Rimon kendo an bende abiro kulora kode, to Jehova Nyasaye mondo owena kuom timo kamano.”
19 And he said to him, “Go in peace.” Then he went away from him, in the elect time of the earth.
Elisha nokone niya, “Dhi gi kwe.” Bangʼ ka Naaman nosewuotho mochwalore,
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.”
Gehazi jatich Elisha ngʼat Nyasaye nowacho e chunye niya, Ruodha ne oketone Naaman mayot ahinya, koweyo mich ma ja-Aram-ni okelo. Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ni abiro lawe manyaka ayud gimoro kuome.
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?”
Omiyo Gehazi nolawo Naaman, kane Naaman onene kolawe, ne olor piny oa e gache mondo oromne, kopenje niya, Gik moko duto nikare?
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.’”
Gehazi nodwoke niya, “Gik moko duto beyo. Ruodha oora mondo anyisi ni, ‘Ji ariyo matindo moa e kanyakla mar jonabi obiro ira koa e gode mag Efraim. Yie imigi fedha moromo kilo piero adek gangʼwen kod lewni motwe otwe nyadiriyo.’”
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 nowachone Gehazi niya, “Kuom ngʼwono duto yie ikawgi fedha ma pekne romo kilo piero auchiel gaboro.” Nokwayo Gehazi mondo okawgi kendo notweyo fedha ma pekne romo kilo piero auchiel gaboro e mifuke ariyo kod lewni motwe otwe nyadiriyo. Naaman nomiyo jotijene ariyo gigo mondo otingʼ ka gitelo e nyim Gehazi.
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.
Kane Gehazi ochopo e got, ne okawo michgi kuom jotichgo mokanogi e ot. Bangʼ mano nomiyo jogo thuolo mondo odhiyo kendo negidhi.
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.”
Eka nodhi mochungʼ e nyim Elisha ruodhe. Elisha openje niya, “Gehazi, ia kanye?” En to nodwoke ni, Jatichni ne ok odhi kamoro.
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.
To Elisha nowachone niya, “Donge chunya ne ni kodi kane ngʼatno olor e gache duogo romo kodi? Bende en sa ma ikawoe pesa, kata law, kata zeituni, kata mzabibu, kata chiayo, kata dhok, kata jotich machwo, kata ma nyiri?
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.
Dhoho mar Naaman biro gore kuomi kendo kuom kothi ndalo duto.” Kuom mano Gehazi nowuok e wangʼ Elisha ka dhoho omako dende duto marachar ka pe.
