< 2 Kings 5 >
1 Naaman, the king of Aram's army commander was considered a great man by his master and highly respected, for through him the Lord had made the Arameans victorious. He was a mighty warrior, but he was a leper.
Siria siangpahrang ransabawi Naaman teh BAWIPA ni Sirianaw e bawi lah ouk a hno dawkvah, a bawipa hanlah, tami kalen hoi barilawa kaawm lah ao. Ahni teh athakaawme tami hoi minkamthang e buet touh a tho. Hatei ama teh ka hrikbei e lah ao.
2 Some Arameans had gone on a raid and had captured a young girl from the land of Israel. She had been made a servant to Naaman's wife.
Sirianaw taran a thaw awh teh, Isarel ram hoi camo napui ca buet touh san lah a hrawi awh. Ahni ni Naaman yu e thaw hah a tawk pouh.
3 She told her mistress, “If only my master would go and see the prophet who lives in Samaria. I'm sure he could cure him of his leprosy.”
Napui ca niyah, ka bawipa heh, Samaria kho e profet koevah cet haw pawiteh tie ka ngaikhai. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a hrikbei hah a dam sak han doeh atipouh.
4 Naaman went to his master and explained what the Israelite girl had said.
Naaman teh a bawipa koe a kâen teh, Isarel ram e, napui ca ni a dei e patetlah a dei pouh.
5 “You can go,” said the king of Aram, “and I will send a letter with you to the king of Israel.” So Naaman left. He took with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold, and ten sets of clothing.
Siria siangpahrang ni cet leih, Isarel siangpahrang koe ca ka patawn han atipouh. Hahoi teh a kamthaw, ngun talen hra, sui shekel 6, 000 hoi hnicu yung hra touh a sin.
6 The letter he took to the king of Israel read: “This letter accompanies my servant Naaman, sent to you so you can heal him of his leprosy.”
Hete ca, na hmu toteh, ka san Naaman e hrikbei na dam sak nahanelah, nang koe ka patoun e doeh tie ca hah Isarel siangpahrang koe a poe.
7 When the king of Israel read the letter, he ripped his clothes in panic and said, “Does this man think I'm God, having power over life and death, sending me a leper to heal? Obviously he's just trying to invent an excuse to attack me, as anyone can see!”
Isarel siangpahrang ni hote ca, a touk navah, a angki a phi teh tami ka thet ni teh kahring sak thai e Cathut lah maw ka tho, hete tami ni hrikbei dam sak hanelah kai koe khuet a patoun. Hatdawkvah pouk awh haw. Kai ka tak dawk thoe ka tawng e doeh tie hah panuek awh.
8 But when Elisha, the man of God, heard that the king of Israel had ripped his clothes in panic, he sent a message to the king, saying: “What did you rip your clothes for? Please send the man to me, so he will be convinced there is a prophet in Israel.”
Hahoi Cathut e tami Elisha ni Isarel siangpahrang ni, amae angkinaw a phi tie a thai toteh, bangkong na angki hah na phi, pahren lahoi hote tami hah kai koe tho sak telah siangpahrang koe tami a patoun.
9 So Naaman arrived with his horses and chariots and stood waiting at the door of Elisha's house.
Naaman teh a rangleng hoi a cei teh, Elisha e takhang koe a kangdue.
10 Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and wash yourself seven times in the Jordan. Then your body will be healed, and you will be clean.”
Elisha ni, Jordan palang vah, cet nateh vai sari touh kâ pâsu, na tak teh yampa e patetlah ao han na thoung han telah patoune a patoun.
11 But Naaman got angry and left, saying, “I expected he would at least come out, stand there and invoke the name of the Lord his God, and wave his hand over where my leprosy is and heal it.
Naaman teh a lungphuen laihoi a cei. Khenhaw! ama hah kai koe tho vaiteh ka kangdout han. BAWIPA Cathut min hah kaw vaiteh, ka hrikbeinae koe a kut toung vaiteh a tek han a dam sak han doeh telah ka pouk.
12 Aren't the rivers of Damascus, Abanah and Pharpar, better than any of these streams of Israel? Couldn't I have washed in them and been healed?” So he turned around and went off in a rage.
Damaskas kho e palang Abanah hoi Phapar tui naw teh Isarel ram palangnaw thung dawk kahawipoung e nahoehmaw. Awi haw ma kâpasu vaiteh ka thoung han nahoehmaw telah ati. Hahoi teh a kamlang teh lungphuen laihoi a cei.
13 But Naaman's officials went to him and said, “Sir, if the prophet had told you that you had to do something extraordinary, wouldn't you have done it? How much easier is it to do what he says, ‘Wash and you'll be healed’?”
A sannaw ni rek a hnai teh ama koevah, ka ru e hno sak hanlah na patoun pawiteh na sak han na vai yaw. Kâpasu na thoung han tie hateh hoe sak hane nahoehmaw telah atipouh.
14 So Naaman went down and plunged himself underwater in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had told him. His body was healed, his skin became like a baby's, and he was clean.
Hahoi teh, Cathut tami ni a dei e patetlah a cei ca thuk teh Jordan tui dawk vai sari touh a kâranup. A takthai teh camosenca e tak patetlah a thoung.
15 Then Naaman and his whole entourage went back to the man of God, stood before him, and Naaman announced, “Now I'm convinced that there is no God in all the world except in Israel. Please accept a gift from me, your servant.”
Ama hoi a sannaw pueng hai Cathut e tami onae koe lah be a ban awh teh, a hmalah vah a kangdue pouh awh. Khenhaw! Isarel ram laipalah hoi talai van pueng dawkvah, Cathut awm hoeh tie ka panue toe. Hahoi na san koe e poehno na dâw pouh loe atipouh.
16 But Elisha replied, “As the Lord lives, the one I serve, I will not accept anything.” Even though Naaman tried to persuade him to take the gift, he refused.
Hatei ahni ni a hmalah ouk ka kangdue pouh e BAWIPA a hring e patetlah bangcahai ka lat mahoeh atipouh. A dâw hanlah voutsout a poe ei teh lat pouh ngai hoeh.
17 So Naaman said, “If you won't, please let me, your servant, take back with me two mule loads of earth, for I will never again bring a burnt offering or make a sacrifice to any other god but the Lord.
Naaman ni teh lat hoehpawiteh, na san kai heh la kahni touh phu hane talai na lat sak loe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, atu hoi teh na san kai ni Jehovah koe laipalah hoi teh hmaisawi thuengnae hoi thuengnae naw heh alouke cathut koe ka poe mahoeh toe.
18 In addition, may the Lord forgive me for doing this: When my master goes into the temple of Rimmon to worship there, and I assist him, and I bow down in the temple of Rimmon, may the Lord forgive me for doing so.”
Hete hnonaw hoi BAWIPA ni a san kai heh na ngaithoum naseh, ka bawipa, hete Rimmon cathut bawk hanelah, ka tabut teh Rimmon bawkim dawk ka kâen. Rimmon bawkim dawk ka tabonae dawk, BAWIPA ni a san heh na ngaithoum naseh telah a ti.
19 “Go in peace,” said Elisha, and Naaman left. But he had only gone a short way
Elisha ni lungmawngcalah cet leih atipouh. Ahni koehoi a tâco teh kahlat lah a cei toe.
20 when Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said to himself, “Just look how my master has let this Naaman the Syrian off the hook by not accepting the gifts he brought! As the Lord lives, I'll run after him and get something from him.”
Cathut tami e san, Gehazi ni yah, khenhaw! ka bawipa ni Siria tami Naaman ni a sin e poehno buet touh boehai lat laipalah a ceisak. Hatei BAWIPA a hring e patetlah ka pâlei vaiteh buet buet touh ngoun teh ka la pouh han telah a pouk.
21 So Gehazi chased after Naaman. When Naaman saw him running after him, he jumped down from the chariot to meet him and asked, “Is everything all right?”
Gehazi ni Naaman teh a pâlei teh a pha toteh a kâhmo hanelah leng dawk hoi a kum.
22 “Everything's fine,” Gehazi replied. “My master sent me to tell you, ‘I've just found out that two young men have arrived to see me from the sons of the prophets who live the hill country of Ephraim. Please let them have a talent of silver and two sets of clothing.’”
Ahni ni awiya ahawinae lah doeh ao. Ka bawipa ni Ephraim mon dawk profet capanaw dawk hoi thoundoun kahni touh kai koe pouk laipalah, a tho. Ahni teh ngun talen buet touh hoi hna yung hni touh poe la ati teh kai heh na patoun atipouh.
23 But Naaman replied, “Please, take two talents.” He insisted that Gehazi to accept them. Then he tied up two talents of silver in two bags as well as two sets of clothing. He gave them to two of his servants, who carried them for Gehazi.
Naaman ni talen kahni touh hah lat atipouh. Talen kahni touh la hanelah a poe. Hna yung hni touh hoi cawngko kahni touh dawk a thun pouh teh, a san kahni touh ni a phu roi teh hmalah a ceikhai.
24 When Gehazi arrived at the hill fortress, he took the gifts from the servants and put them in the house. He told the men they could go, and they left.
Mon dawk a pha toteh a la teh imthungkhu lah a ta, ka phawt e tami hah a cei sak.
25 When Gehazi got back and attended his master, Elisha asked him, “Where have you been, Gehazi?” “Your servant hasn't been anywhere,” he replied.
Ama teh a kâen teh a bawipa hmalah a kangdue teh Elisha ni, na lahoi maw na tho Gehazi telah a pacei. Ahni ni na san heh nahai ka cet hoeh bo atipouh.
26 But Elisha told him, “Didn't I see you in my mind's eye when the man got down from his chariot to meet you? Is this the time to take money and clothing, olive groves and vineyards, sheep and oxen, male and female servants?
Elisha ni, ahni koe nang ka hmo hanelah rangleng dawk hoi a kum navah, ka lungthin heh nang koe cet van hoeh namaw, tangka, khohna, olive takha, hoi misur takha, tu, maitotan hoi sannu, sanpanaw hah la hane atueng na maw.
27 Consequently Naaman's leprosy will stick to you and your descendants forever!” As Gehazi left him, he had leprosy—he looked as white as snow.
Hatdawkvah Naaman e hrikbei teh nang koehoi na catounnaw koe a yungyoe phat naseh, atipouh e patetlah Gehazi teh a hrikbei teh tadamtui patetlah a pangaw teh, a bawipa teh a tâco takhai toe.
