< 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.
O NAAMANA ka luna o ka poe kauwa o ke alii o Suria, he kanaka koikoi ia imua o kona haku, a he hanohano o kona maka; no ka mea, ma o na la, ua hoolanakila mai o Iehova i ko Suria; he kanaka koa nui no hoi ia, a ua lepera.
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.
A ua hele aku ka poe koa hao wale, no ko Suria, a ua lawe pio mai lakou i kekahi kaikamahine opiopio mai ka aina o ka Iseraela mai; a ua lawelawe ia na ka wahine a Naamana.
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.”
I aku la ia i kona haku wahine, Ina o kuu haku ma ke alo o ke kaula ma Samaria, ina ua hoola mai kela ia ia i kona lepera.
4 Naaman went to his master and explained what the Israelite girl had said.
A hele aku kekahi, a hai aku la i kona haku, i aku la, Penei a penei ka olelo ana a ke kaikamahine no ka aina o ka Iseraela.
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.
I mai la ke alii o Suria, O hele, o hele, a e hoouna aku au i palapala na ke alii o ka Iseraela. A hele aku la ia, a lawe aku la ia ma kona lima i umi talena kala, a me na apana gula eono tausani, a me na lole aahu he umi.
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.”
A lawe aku la ia i ka palapala i ko alii o ka Iseraela, i aku la, Ano, i ka hiki ana'ku o keia palapala ia oe, aia hoi, ua hoouna aku au i ou la ia Naamana i kuu kauwa, i hoola mai ai oe ia ia i kona lepera.
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!”
A pau ka heluhelu ana a ke alii o ka Iseraela i ka palapala, haehae iho la ia i kona aahu, i aku la, He Akua anei wau e pepehi aku a e hoola, i hoouna mai ai keia kanaka io'u nei e hoola i ke kanaka i kona lepera? no ia mea, ke noi aku nei au, e noonoo, a ike, ke imi mai nei paha i mea no'u e hewa'i.
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.”
A i ka manawa i lohe ai o Elisai ke kanaka o ke Akua, ua haehae ke alii i kona aahu, hoouna aku la ia i ke alii, i aku la, No ke aha la oe i haehae ai i kou aahu? e hele mai ia ano i o'u nei, a e ike auanei ia, he kaula no iloko o ka Iseraela.
9 So Naaman arrived with his horses and chariots and stood waiting at the door of Elisha's house.
A hele mai o Naamana me kona mau lio, a me kona halekaa, a ku ma ka puka o ka hale o Elisai.
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.”
Hoouna aku la o Elisai i elele io na la, i aku la, E hele oe e auau iloko o Ioredane, ehiku auau ana, a e hoi hou mai no kou io ia oe, a e maemae oe.
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.
Huhu iho la o Naamana, a hele aku la, i iho la, Aia hoi, ua i iho au ia'u iho, E hele io mai auanei ia iwaho, a e ku, a e kahea aku i ka inoa o Iehova o kona Akua, a hapai i kona lima maluna o ka wahi, a e hoola i ka lepera.
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.
Aole anei e oi aku ka pono o Abana, a me Parepara, na muliwai o Damaseko, mamua o ko na wai a pau o ka Iseraela? aole anei e pono ia'u ke holoi iloko o ia mau mea, a maemae? A huli ae la ia a hele aku la me ka huhu.
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’?”
Hele mai kana poe kauwa a kokoke, olelo aku la ia ia, i aku la, E kuu makua, ina i olelo mai ke kaula ia oe i kekahi mea nui, aole anei oe i hana? oiaio hoi, i kana i ana mai ia oe, E auau oe, a e maemae?
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.
Alaila hele aku la ia ilalo, a lu iho la iloko o Ioredane, ehiku lu ana, e like me ka olelo a ke kanaka o ke Akua; a hoi hou mai kona io e like me ka io o ke keiki uuku, a ua maemae ia.
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.”
A hoi hou aku la ia i ke kanaka o ke Akua, oia a me kona poe a pau, a hiki aku la, a ku imua ona; i aku la, Aia hoi, ano ua ike au, aole he Akua ma ka honua a pau, maloko o ka Iseraela wale no; ano hoi, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e lawe oe i ka makana a kau kauwa.
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.
I mai la ia, Ma ke ola o Iehova, imua ona a'u e ku nei, aole au e lawe. Koi aku la keia ia ia; aka, hoole mai la ia.
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.
I aku la o Naamana, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, aole anei e haawiia mai i kau kauwa ka lepo e kaumaha ai na hoki elua ke hali? no ka mea, ma keia hope aku aole kau kauwa e kaumaha aku i ka mohaikuni, a me ka alana i na akua e, aka, ia Iehova wale no.
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.”
E kala mai o Iehova i keia mea i kau kauwa, i ka hele ana o kuu haku iloko o ka hale o Rimona e hoomana malaila, a e hilinai ia maluna o kuu lima, a e hoomana au ma ka hale o Rimona; i kuu hoomana ana ma ka hale o Rimona, e kala mai o Iehova i keia mea i kau kauwa.
19 “Go in peace,” said Elisha, and Naaman left. But he had only gone a short way
I mai la keia ia ia E hele oe me ke aloha. A hele ia mai ona aku la, aole loihi.
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.”
I iho la o Gehazi ke kauwa a Elisai ke kanaka no ke Akua, Aia hoi, ua hoole kuu haku ia Naamana i keia kanaka no Suria, aole i lawe mai kona lima mai i ka mea ana i lawe mai ai: aka, ma ke ola o Iehova e holo no au mahope ona, a e lawe i kekahi mea mai ona mai la.
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?”
A hahai aku la o Gehazi mahope o Naamana; a ike ae la o Naamana ia ia e holo mai ana mahope ona, iho ilalo ia mai ka halekaa mai e halawai me ia, i mai la, Ua pono anei?
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.’”
I aku la ia, Ua pono. Ua hoouna mai kuu haku ia'u, i mai la, Aia hoi, i keia manawa, ua hiki mai ia'u nei elua kanaka ui mai ka mauna o Eperaima mai, he mau haumana a ka poe kaula; ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e haawi mai oe no laua i hookahi talena kala, a i elua lole aahu.
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.
I mai la o Naamana, E oluolu mai oe i ka lawe i na talena elua. Koi mai la oia ia ia, a hoopaa iho la ia i na talena elua iloko o na aa elua, a me na lole aahu elua, a haawi aku la i na kauwa ana elua; a lawe aku la laua imua ona.
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.
A hiki aku la ma Opela, lawe ae la oia ia mau mea, mai ko laua lima mai, a waiho iho la iloko o ka hale; a kuu aku la i na kanaka, a hoi aku la laua.
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.
Komo aku la ia maloko, a ku imua o kona haku; ninau mai la o Elisai ia ia, Mai hea mai oe, e Gehazi? I aku la ia, Aole i hele kau kauwa io, a ia nei.
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?
I mai la kela ia ia, Aole anei i hele kuu naau, i ka manawa i huli ae ke kanaka mai kona halekaa mai e halawai me oe? He manawa anei keia e lawe i ke kala, a e lawe i na aahu, me na oliva, a me na pawaina, a me na hipa, a me na bipi, a me na kauwakane a me na kauwawahine?
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.
Nolaila e pili mau loa mai ko Naamana lepera ia oe, a me kou hua. A hele ia mai kona alo aku me ka mai lepera e like me ka hau.
