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.
Namani, mokonzi ya basoda ya mokonzi ya Siri, azalaki moto monene mpe moto ya lokumu mingi na miso ya nkolo na ye, pamba te, na nzela na ye, Yawe apesaki bato ya Siri elonga. Azalaki soda ya mpiko, kasi azalaki na bokono ya maba.
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.
Nzokande, tango mampinga ya bato ya Siri babimaki na bitumba, bakangaki na bowumbu elenge mwasi moko ya Isalaele. Boye akomaki kosalela mwasi ya Namani.
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.”
Elenge mwasi yango alobaki na nkolo na ye ya mwasi: — Ah, soki kaka nkolo na ngai, Namani, akokaki komona mosakoli oyo azali kati na Samari! Akoki penza kobikisa ye na bokono na ye ya maba.
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.”
Namani akendeki epai ya nkolo na ye mpe abetelaki ye lisolo ya makambo oyo elenge mwasi ya Isalaele alobaki.
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.
Mokonzi ya Siri alobaki na ye: — Malamu! Nakotinda mokanda epai ya mokonzi ya Isalaele. Boye Namani akendeki mpe amemaki bakilo ya palata, nkama misato na tuku mitano; bakilo ya wolo, tuku sambo, mpe bilamba zomi ya talo.
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.”
Apesaki epai ya mokonzi ya Isalaele mokanda oyo elobaki: « Na nzela ya mokanda oyo, natindeli yo mosali na ngai, Namani, mpo ete obikisa ye na bokono na ye ya maba. »
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.”
Tango kaka mokonzi ya Isalaele atangaki mokanda, apasolaki bilamba na ye mpe alobaki: « Boni, ngai nazali Nzambe? Boni, nazali na makoki ya koboma to ya kozongisa na bomoi? Mpo na nini moto oyo atindeli ngai moto ete nabikisa ye na bokono na ye ya maba? Botala ndenge nini azali kolukela ngai makambo! »
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.”
Tango Elize, moto na Nzambe, ayokaki ete mokonzi ya Isalaele apasolaki bilamba na ye, atindelaki ye liloba oyo: « Mpo na nini opasoli bilamba na yo? Tika ete moto wana aya epai na ngai, mpe akoyeba ete ezali na mosakoli moko kati na Isalaele! »
9 Therefore, Naaman arrived with his horses and chariots, and he stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
Boye Namani akendeki elongo na bampunda na ye mpe shar na ye, mpe atelemaki na ekotelo ya ndako ya Elize.
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.”
Elize atindaki moto moko mpo na koyebisa Namani: — Kende kosukola mbala sambo na ebale Yordani; bongo nzoto na yo ekobongwana, mpe okokoma peto.
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.
Kasi Namani asilikaki, azongaki mpe alobaki: — Nakanisaki ete akoya penza epai na ngai, akobelela Yawe, Nzambe na ye, akotia loboko na ye na esika oyo bokono ezali, mpe akobikisa ngai na bokono na ngai ya maba!
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,
Boni, bibale Abana mpe Paripari kati na Damasi ezali motuya te koleka miluka nyonso ya Isalaele? Nakokaki te kosukola na bibale wana mpe kokoma peto? Boye, abalukaki mpe akendeki na kanda.
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?’”
Kasi basali na ye bapusanaki mpe balobaki na ye: — Nkolo, soki mosakoli ayebisaki yo ete osala likambo moko ya monene, boni, olingaki kosala yango te? Bongo mpo na nini te koleka, tango azali koloba na yo: « Sukola, mpe okokoma peto! »
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.
Boye Namani akitaki mpe amizindisaki mbala sambo na ebale Yordani, ndenge moto na Nzambe ayebisaki ye; mpe nzoto na ye ebongwanaki mpe ekomaki peto lokola nzoto ya elenge mobali.
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.”
Bongo Namani elongo na basali na ye nyonso bazongaki epai ya moto na Nzambe. Atelemaki liboso ya Elize mpe alobaki: — Nayebi sik’oyo ete ezali na Nzambe te kati na mokili mobimba longola kaka kati na Isalaele. Nabondeli yo, ndima kado kowuta na mosali na yo.
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.
Mosakoli Elize azongisaki: — Na Kombo na Yawe oyo nasalelaka, nakondima eloko moko te. Namani atungisaki ye, kasi Elize aboyaki kaka.
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.
Namani alobaki: — Lokola oboyi, pesa nzela ete napesa mosali na yo ndambo ya mabele oyo bamile mibale ekoki komema, pamba te mosali na yo akoki te kobonzela banzambe mosusu bambeka ya kotumba to bambeka ya boyokani, bobele Yawe.
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.”
Kasi tika ete Yawe alimbisa mosali na yo mpo na likambo oyo: tango nkolo na ngai akotaka na ndako ya nzambe Rimoni mpo na kogumbama, nagumbamaka elongo na ye, pamba te alalelaka loboko na ngai. Tika ete Yawe alimbisa mosali na yo mpo na yango.
19 And he said to him, “Go in peace.” Then he went away from him, in the elect time of the earth.
Elize alobaki na ye: — Kende na kimia! Tango Namani akomaki mwa mosika,
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.”
Geazi, mosali ya Elize, moto na Nzambe, amilobelaki: « Nkolo na ngai atiki penza na pamba Namani, moto oyo ya Arami, wana aboyi kozwa biloko oyo amemelaki ye. Na Kombo na Yawe, nakolanda ye mbangu mpe nakozwa ata eloko moko epai na ye. »
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?”
Boye Geazi alandaki Namani mbangu. Tango Namani amonaki ye kopota mbangu na sima na ye, akitaki na shar na ye mpo na kokutana na ye mpe atunaki ye: — Boni, nyonso ezali malamu?
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.’”
Geazi azongisaki: — Iyo, nyonso ezali malamu. Nkolo na ngai atindi ngai koyebisa yo: « Bilenge bayekoli mibale kati na basakoli bayei epai na ngai wuta na etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi. Nabondeli yo, pesa bango bakilo ya palata, tuku misato na mitano, mpe bilamba mibale ya talo. »
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.
Namani alobaki: — Kamata bakilo ya palata, tuku sambo. Atungisaki Geazi ete azwa yango. Boye, atiaki bakilo ya palata, tuku sambo kati na basaki mibale elongo na bilamba mibale ya talo. Namani apesaki yango epai ya basali na ye mibale oyo bamemaki yango liboso ya Geazi.
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.
Tango Geazi akomaki na ngomba, azwaki biloko na maboko ya basali ya Namani mpe atiaki yango kati na ndako. Azongisaki basali yango, mpe bakendeki.
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.”
Boye, Geazi akotaki mpe atelemaki liboso ya nkolo na ye, Elize. Elize atunaki ye: — Geazi, okendeki wapi? Geazi azongisaki: — Mosali na yo akendeki epai moko te.
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.
Kasi Elize alobaki na ye: — Boni, molimo na ngai ezalaki elongo na yo te tango moto wana akitaki na shar na ye mpo na kokutana na yo? Ezali penza tango ya kozwa palata to ya kondima bilamba, bilanga ya nzete ya olive, ya vino, bameme, bangombe to basali ya mibali mpe basali ya basi?
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.
Lokola osali bongo, bokono ya maba ya Namani ekokangama na yo mpe bakitani na yo mpo na libela. Bongo Geazi alongwaki na liboso ya Elize. Poso ya nzoto na ye ekomaki na maba, mpe akomaki pembe lokola mvula ya pembe.
