< 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.
अरामका राजाका सेनापति नामान आफ्ना मालिकको दृष्टिमा महान् र इज्जतदार मानिस थिए किनकि तिनीद्वारा परमप्रभुले अरामलाई विजय दिनुभएको थियो । तिनी बलिया र साहसी मानिस पनि थिए, तर तिनी कुष्ठरोगी थिए ।
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.
अरामीहरू दलहरूमा मिलेर हमला गर्न गएका थिए, र तिनीहरूले इस्राएल देशबाट एउटी सानी केटीलाई ल्याएका थिए । त्यसले नामानकी पत्नीको सेवा गर्थी ।
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.
केटीले आफ्नी मालिक्नीलाई भनी, “मेरा मालिक सामरियामा भएका अगमवक्ताको साथमा भएको भए हुन्थ्यो! तब उहाँले मेरा मालिकलाई कुष्ठरोगबाट निको पार्नुहुन्थ्यो ।”
4 Then Naaman went in to his lord, and told him, saying: Thus and thus said tile girl from the land of Israel.
त्यसैले नामान भित्र प्रवेश गरे, र इस्राएल देशबाट ल्याइएकी त्यो केटीले के भनेकी थई त्यो राजालाई भने ।
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,
त्यसैले अरामका राजाले भने, “अब जाऊ, र म इस्राएलका राजालाई एउटा चिठी पठाउनेछु ।” नामान गए र तिन सय चालिस किलो चाँदी, सत्तरी किलो सुन र दस जोर लुगा तिनले आफूसितै लगे ।
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.
तिनले इस्राएलका राजाको निम्ति चिठी पनि लिएर गए जसमा लेखिएको थियो, “जब यो चिठी तपाईंकहाँ ल्याइन्छ मैले तपाईंकहाँ आफ्नो सेवकलाई पठाएको तपाईंले देख्नुहुनेछ, ताकि तपाईंले तिनको कुष्ठरोगबाट तिनलाई निको पारिदिनुहोस् ।”
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.
जब इस्राएलका राजाले चिठी पढेका थिए, तब तिनले आफ्ना लुगा च्याते र भने, “आफैमा कुष्ठरोग भएको मानिसलाई मैले निको पारोस् भनी यो मानिसले इच्छा गर्नलाई मार्न र जिउँदो पार्न के म परमेश्वर हुँ र? उसले मसित झगडाको निहुँ खोजेको जस्तो पो लाग्दैछ ।”
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.
त्यसैले इस्राएलका राजालले आफ्ना लुगा च्याते भनी जब परमेश्वरका मानिस एलीशाले सुने, तब तिनले राजालाई यसो भनी समाचार पठाए, “किन तपाईंले आफ्नो लुगा च्यात्नुभएको? अब ऊ मकहाँ आओस्, र इस्राएलमा अगमवक्ता रहेछन् भनी उसले थाहा पाउनेछ ।”
9 So Naaman came with Iris horses and chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Eliseus:
त्यसैले नामान आफ्ना घोडाहरू र रथहरू लिएर आए र एलीशाको घरको ढोकामा उभिए ।
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.
एलीशाले तिनीकहाँ यसो भनेर एक जना सन्देशवाहक पठाए, “जानुहोस् र यर्दनमा आफूलाई सातपल्ट डुबुल्की लगाउनुहोस् र तपाईंको देह पहिलेको जस्तै हुनेछ । तपाईं शुद्ध बन्नुहुनेछ ।”
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.
तर नामान रिसाए र यसो भन्दै गए, “हेर, निश्चय नै तिनी मकहाँ बाहिर आउँनेछन् र खडा हुनेछन् अनि तिनले आफ्ना परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको नाउँ पुकार्नेछन् र मेरो कुष्ठरोगमाथि आफ्ना हात हल्लाउँनेछन् र मेरो कुष्टरोग निको पार्नेछन् भनी मैले सोचेको थिएँ ।
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,
के दमस्कसका अबाना र फारपर नदीहरू इस्राएलका सबै पानीभन्दा असल छैनन् र? के म तिनमा नुहाएर शुद्ध हुन सक्दिनँ र?” त्यसैले तिनी फर्के र क्रुद्ध हुँदै आफ्नो बाटो लागे ।
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?
तब नामानका सेवकहरू नजिक आए, र तिनलाई भने, “हे मेरा पिता, अगमवक्ताले तपाईंलाई कुनै कठिन कुरो गर्न लगाएको भए के तपाईंले त्यो गर्नुहुने थिएन र? त्यसको बदलामा 'आफैलाई डुबुल्की लगाउन र शुद्ध हुन' भन्दा झन् किन नगर्ने त?”
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.
तब तिनी तल गए र परमेश्वरका मानिसको सल्लाह मानेर यर्दमा आफैलाई सात पल्ट डुबुल्की लगाए । तिनको देह बच्चाको झैँ पहिलेजस्तै भयो र तिनी निको भए ।
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.
नामान र तिनको दल परमेश्वरका मानिसकहाँ फर्केर आए र तिनको सामु खडा भए । तिनले भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, सारा पृथ्वीमा इस्राएलमा बाहेक अन्त कतै परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्न रहेछ भनी अब मलाई थाहा भयो । त्यसकारण तपाईंको दासबाट उपहार ग्रहण गर्नुहोस् ।”
16 But he answered: As the Lord liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And when he pressed him, he still refused.
तर एलीशाले जावाफ दिए, “परमप्रभु जसको सामु म खडा हुन्छु, उहाँको नाउँमा शपथ खाएर भन्छु, म केही लिने छैनँ ।” नामानले एलीशालाई उपहार लिन बिन्ती गरे तर तिनले इन्कार गरे ।
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.
त्यसैले नामानले भने, “तपाईं लिनुहुन्न भने तपाईंका दासलाई दुईवटा खच्चरले बोक्न सक्ने माटो लान दिनुहोस् । किनकि अबदेखि तपाईंका दासले परमप्रभुबाहेक अन्य कुनै ईश्वरलाई न त होमबलि न बलिदान चढाउनेछ ।
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.
यो एउटा कुरामा परमप्रभुले तपाईंको दासलाई क्षमा गरून्, त्यो हो, जब मेरा राजा रिम्मोनको मन्दिरमा पुजा गर्न जान्छन् अनि मेरो हातमा भर पर्छन्, अनि रिम्मोनको मन्दिरमा म पनि निहुरिन्छु, तब यस विषयमा परमप्रभुले हजुरको दासलाई क्षमा गरून् ।”
19 And he said to him: Go in peace. So he departed from him in the springtime of the earth.
एलीशाले तिनलाई भने, “शान्तिसित जाऊ ।” यसरी नामान फर्केर गए ।
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:
तिनी अलि पर मात्र पुगेका थिए, परमेश्वरका मानिस एलीशाको सेवक गेहजीले आफ्नो मनमा भन्यो, “मेरा मालिकले यी अरामी नामानको हातबाट तिनले ल्याएका उपहारहरू ग्रहण नगरी तिनको बचत गर्नुभएको छ । परमप्रभुको नाउँमा शपथ खाएर म भन्छु, म तिनको पछि दौडेर जानेछु, र तिनीबाट केही लिनेछु ।”
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?
त्यसैले गेहजी नामानको पछि गयो । जब नामानले तिनको पछि कोही दौडेर आएको देखे, तब आफ्नो रथबाट त्यसलाई भेट्न तिनी ओर्ले र भने, “के सबै कुरा ठिकै छ?”
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.
गेहजीले भन्यो, “सबै ठिकै कुरा छ । मेरा मालिकले मलाई यसो भनेर पठाउनुभएको छ, 'हेर, एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशबाट अगमवक्ताहरूका छोराहरूमध्ये दुई जना युवा मकहाँ आएका छन् । कृपया, तिनीहरूलाई एक तोडा चाँदी र दुई जोर लुगा दिनुहोस् ।”
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.
नामानले भने, “म तिमीलाई दुई तोडा चाँदी दिन अत्यन्तै खुसी छु ।” नामानले गेहजीलाई जिद्दी गरे र दुईवटा थैलामा दुई तोडा चाँदी र दुई जोर लुगा राखिदिए, अनि तिनले आफ्ना दुई जना सेवक दिए जसले ती थैलाहरू बोकेर गेहजीको अगि लागे ।
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.
जब गेहजी डाँडामा आइपुग्यो त्यसले तिनीहरूका हातबाट चाँदीका थैलाहरू लियो र ती घरमा लुकायो । त्यसले ती मानिसहरूलाई पठायो र उनीहरू गए ।
25 But he went in, and stood before his master. And Eliseus said: Whence comest thou, Giezi? He answered: Thy servant went no whither.
जब गेहजी भित्र गयो र आफ्ना मालिकको अघि खडा भयो, तब एलीशाले भने, “ए गेहजी, तँ कहाँबाट आएको?” त्यसले जवाफ दियो, “तपाईंको दास कतै गएन ।”
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.
एलीशाले गेहजीलाई भने, “ती मानिसले तँलाई भेट्न आफ्नो रथ घुमाउँदा के मेरो आत्मा तँसितै थिएन र? के यो रुपियाँ-पैसा र लत्ता कपडा, भद्राक्षका बोटहरू र दाखबारीहरू, भेडा-बाख्रा र गाई-गोरुहरू अनि कमारा-कमारीहरू ग्रहण गर्ने समय हो र?
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.
त्यसैले नामानको कुष्ठरोग तँ र तेरा सन्तानमाथि सधैँभरि रहनेछ ।” त्यसैले गेहजी हिउँजस्तै सेतो कुष्ठरोगी बनेर तिनको उपस्थितिबाट बाहिर गयो ।
