2 Kings 5
1 Naaman, general of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable: for by him the Lord gave deliverance to Syria: and he was a valiant man and rich, but a leper.
Tsono Naamani anali mtsogoleri wa gulu lankhondo a mfumu ya ku Aramu. Iye anali munthu wodalirika pamaso pa mbuye wake ndipo anali wokondedwa kwambiri, chifukwa kudzera mwa iye Yehova anapambanitsa Aaramu. Anali msilikali wolimba mtima, koma anali ndi khate.
2 Now there had gone out robbers from Syria, and had led away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid, and she waited upon Naaman’s wife.
Tsono magulu a Aaramu anapita ku nkhondo ndipo anakagwira ukapolo mtsikana wamngʼono wa ku Israeli, ndipo ankatumikira mkazi wa Naamani.
3 And she said to her mistress: I wish my master had been with the prophet, that is in Samaria: he would certainly have healed him of the leprosy which he hath.
Mtsikanayo anawuza mkazi wa Naamani kuti, “Mbuye wanga akanapita kukaonana ndi mneneri amene amakhala ku Samariya, akanachiritsidwa khate lawo.”
4 Then Naaman went in to his lord, and told him, saying: Thus and thus said tile girl from the land of Israel.
Naamani anapita kwa mbuye wake kukamuwuza zomwe mtsikana wochokera ku Israeli ananena.
5 And the king of Syria sad to him: Go, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and tell changes of raiment,
Mfumu ya ku Aramu inayankha kuti, “Iwe uyenera kupita. Ine ndilembera kalata mfumu ya ku Israeli.” Choncho Naamani ananyamuka kupita ku Samariya, atatenga ndalama za siliva 30,000, ndalama zagolide 6,000 ndiponso zovala khumi za pa chikondwerero.
6 And brought the letter to the king of Israel, in these words: When thou shalt receive this letter, know that I have sent to thee Naaman my servant, that thou mayest heal him of his leprosy.
Kalata imene anapita nayo kwa mfumu ya ku Israeli inali ndi mawu awa: “Taonani, ndikutumiza Naamani mtumiki wanga pamodzi ndi kalatayi kwa inu kuti mumuchiritse khate lake.”
7 And when the king of Israel had read the letter, he rent his garments, and said: Am I God, to be able to kill and give life, that this man hath sent to me, to heal a man of his leprosy? mark, and see how he seeketh occasions against me.
Mfumu ya ku Israeli itangowerenga kalatayo, inangʼamba mkanjo wake ndipo inati, “Kodi ine ndine Mulungu? Kodi ndingathe kupha kapena kupereka moyo? Chifukwa chiyani munthu ameneyu wanditumizira munthu woti ndimuchiritse khate lake? Taonani, iyeyu akungofuna kuti apeze chifukwa choyambanirana nane!”
8 And when Eliseus the man of God had heard this, to wit, that the king of Israel had rent his garments, he sent to him, saying: Why hast thou rent thy garments? let him come to me, and let him know that there is a prophet in Israel.
Elisa munthu wa Mulungu atamva kuti mfumu ya ku Israeli yangʼamba mkanjo wake, anatumiza uthenga uwu: “Chifukwa chiyani mwangʼamba mkanjo wanu? Mutumizeni munthuyo kwa ine ndipo iyeyo adzadziwa kuti muli mneneri mu Israeli.”
9 So Naaman came with Iris horses and chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Eliseus:
Choncho Naamani anapita pamodzi ndi akavalo ake ndi magaleta nakayima pa khomo la nyumba ya Elisa.
10 And Eliseus sent a messenger to him, saying: Go, and wash seven times in the Jordan, and thy flesh shall recover health, and thee shalt be clean.
Elisa anatumiza uthenga kwa iye woti, “Pita, kasambe kasanu ndi kawiri mu mtsinje wa Yorodani, thupi lako lidzachira ndi kukhalanso monga kale ndipo udzayeretsedwa.”
11 Naaman was angry and went away, saying: I thought he would hare come out to me, and standing would hare invoked the name of the Lord his God, and touched with his hand the place of the leprosy, and healed me.
Koma Naamani anachoka mokwiya ndipo anati, “Ine ndimaganiza kuti munthuyu atuluka ndipo ayimirira nayitana dzina la Yehova Mulungu wake, nayendetsa dzanja lake pamwamba pa nthendayi ndi kundichiritsa khate langa.
12 Are not the Abana, and the Pharphar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel, that I may wash in them, and be made clean? So as he turned, and was going away with indignation,
Kodi Abana ndi Faripara, mitsinje ya ku Damasiko, siyoposa mitsinje ina yonse ya ku Israeli? Kodi sindikanasamba mʼmitsinje imeneyo ndi kuyeretsedwa?” Kotero anatembenuka nachoka ali wokwiya kwambiri.
13 His servants came to him, and said to him: Father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, surely thou shouldst have done it: how much rather what he now hath said to thee: Wash, and thou shalt he clean?
Antchito ake anamuyandikira namufunsa kuti, “Abambo anga, mneneri akanakulamulani chinthu chachikulu, kodi inu simukanachita? Nanga nʼzovuta motani zomwe mneneri wanena kuti ‘Kasambeni ndipo mudzayeretsedwa!’”
14 Then he went down, and washed in the Jordan seven times: according to the word of the man of God, and his flesh was restored, like the flesh of a little child, and he was made clean.
Choncho Naamani anapita ku Yorodani nakadzimiza mʼmadzimo kasanu nʼkawiri, monga momwe munthu wa Mulungu anamuwuzira. Thupi lake linakhalanso monga kale ndipo linakhala losalala ngati la kamnyamata.
15 And returning to the man of God with all his train, be came, and stood before him, and said: In truth, I know there is no other God in all the earth, but only in Israel: I beseech thee therefore take a blessing of thy servant.
Pamenepo Naamani ndi atumiki ake onse anabwerera kwa munthu wa Mulungu uja. Naamani anayima pamaso pa Elisa ndipo anati, “Tsopano ndikudziwa kuti kulibe Mulungu wina pa dziko lonse lapansi koma mu Israeli mokha. Chonde, tsopano landirani mphatso ya mtumiki wanu.”
16 But he answered: As the Lord liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And when he pressed him, he still refused.
Mneneri anayankha kuti, “Pali Yehova wamoyo, amene ine ndimamutumikira, sindidzalandira zimenezi.” Ndipo ngakhale Naamani anamukakamiza, iye anakanabe.
17 And Naaman said: As thou wilt: but I beseech thee, grant to me thy servant, to take from hence two mules’ burden of earth: for thy servant will not henceforth offer holocaust, or victim, to other gods, but to the Lord.
Naamani anati, “Ngati inu simulandira, chonde lolani mtumiki wanu kuti atengeko dothi lokwanira kunyamula abulu awiri, popeza mtumiki wanu sadzaperekanso nsembe yopsereza ndi nsembe zina kwa mulungu wina koma Yehova.
18 But there is only this, for which thou shalt entreat the Lord for thy servant, when my master goeth into the temple of Remmon, to worship: and he leaneth upon my hand, if I bow down in the temple of Remmon, when he boweth down in the same place, that the Lord pardon me thy servant for this thing.
Koma Yehova andikhululukire ine pa chinthu ichi: Pamene mbuye wanga alowa mʼnyumba ya mapemphero ya Rimoni ine ndimapita naye ndipo ndimakagwada naye limodzi. Pamene ndikugwada mʼnyumba ya mapemphero ya Rimoni, Yehova azikhululukira mtumiki wanu pa chinthu chimenechi.”
19 And he said to him: Go in peace. So he departed from him in the springtime of the earth.
Elisa anati, “Pita mu mtendere.” Choncho anachoka nayenda pangʼono.
20 But Giezi the servant of the man of God said: My master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving of him that which he brought: as the Lord liveth, I will run after him, and take some thing of him:
Koma Gehazi, mtumiki wa Elisa munthu wa Mulungu, anaganiza mu mtima mwake kuti, “Taonani, mbuye wanga wamulekerera Naamani Mwaramuyu, posalandira zomwe anabweretsa. Pali Yehova wamoyo, ine ndimuthamangira ndipo ndikatengako zinthu kwa iye.”
21 And Giezi followed after Naaman: and when he saw him running after him, he leapt down from his chariot to meet him, and said: Is all well?
Choncho Gehazi anamuthamangira Naamani uja. Naamani ataona Gehazi akumuthamangira, anatsika mʼgaleta lake ndi kukakumana naye. Iye anafunsa Gehazi kuti, “Kodi nʼkwabwino?”
22 And he said: Well: my master hath sent me to thee, saying: Just now there are come to me from mount Ephraim, two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.
Gehazi anayankha kuti, “Inde nʼkwabwino. Mbuye wanga wandituma kuti ndidzakuwuzeni kuti, ‘Anyamata awiri mwa ana a aneneri angondipeza kumene kuchokera ku dziko la mapiri la Efereimu. Chonde apatseniko ndalama za siliva 3,000 ndi zovala ziwiri za pa phwando.’”
23 And Naaman said: It is better that thou take two talents. And he forced him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, and two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants, and they carried them before him.
Naamani anati, “Kuli bwino utenge ndalama zasiliva 6,000.” Iye anakakamiza Gehazi kuti alandire, ndipo kenaka anamanga matumba awiri a ndalama zasiliva pamodzi ndi zovala zinayi za pa mphwando. Naamani anazipereka kwa antchito ake awiri ndipo anazinyamula nayenda patsogolo pa Gehazi.
24 And when he was come, and now it was the evening, he took them from their hands, and laid them up in the house, and sent the men away, and they departed.
Gehazi atafika ku phiri, anawalanda antchito aja zinthu zija nazibisa mʼnyumbamo. Iye anawawuza anthu aja kuti abwerere ndipo anapita.
25 But he went in, and stood before his master. And Eliseus said: Whence comest thou, Giezi? He answered: Thy servant went no whither.
Kenaka analowa mʼnyumbamo nakayima pamaso pa mbuye wake Elisa. Elisa anafunsa kuti, “Kodi Gehazi unali kuti?” Iye anayankha kuti, “Mtumiki wanu sanapite kwina kulikonse.”
26 But he said: Was not my heart present, when the man turned back from his chariot to meet thee? So now thou hast received money, and received garments, to buy oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants.
Koma Elisa anati kwa Gehazi, “Kodi mzimu wanga sunali nawe pamene munthu uja anatsika mʼgaleta lake ndi kukumana nawe? Kodi ino ndi nthawi yolandira ndalama, kapena kulandira zovala, mitengo ya olivi, minda ya mpesa, nkhosa, ngʼombe kapena antchito aamuna kapena antchito aakazi?
27 But the leprosy of Naaman shall also stick to thee, and to thy seed for ever. And he went out from him a leper as white as snow.
Khate la Naamani lidzakumatirira iwe ndi zidzukulu zako mpaka muyaya.” Ndipo Gehazi anachoka pamaso pa Elisa ali ndi khate lotuwa ngati phulusa.
