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.
I bješe Neman vojvoda cara Sirskoga èovjek velik u gospodara svojega i u èasti, jer preko njega saèuva Gospod Siriju; ali taj veliki junak bješe gubav.
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 iz Sirije izide èeta i zarobi u zemlji Izrailjskoj malu djevojku, te ona služaše ženu Nemanovu.
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 ona reèe svojoj gospoði: o da bi moj gospodar otišao k proroku u Samariji! on bi ga oprostio od gube.
4 Naaman went to his master and explained what the Israelite girl had said.
Tada on otide k svome gospodaru i javi mu govoreæi: tako i tako kaže djevojka iz zemlje Izrailjske.
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.
A car Sirski reèe mu: hajde idi, a ja æu poslati knjigu caru Izrailjevu. I on otide, i ponese deset talanata srebra i šest tisuæa sikala zlata i desetore stajaæe haljine.
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.”
I odnese knjigu caru Izrailjevu, koja ovako govoraše: eto, kad ti doðe ova knjiga, znaj da šaljem k tebi Nemana slugu svojega da ga oprostiš gube.
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 kad car Izrailjev proèita knjigu, razdrije haljine svoje i reèe: zar sam ja Bog da mogu ubiti i povratiti život, te šalje k meni da oprostim èovjeka gube? Pazite i vidite kako traži zadjevice sa mnom.
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 kad èu Jelisije èovjek Božji da je car Izrailjev razdro haljine svoje, posla k caru i poruèi: zašto si razdro haljine svoje? neka doðe k meni, da pozna da ima prorok u Izrailju.
9 So Naaman arrived with his horses and chariots and stood waiting at the door of Elisha's house.
I tako doðe Neman s konjma i kolima svojim, i stade na vratima doma Jelisijeva.
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.”
A Jelisije posla k njemu i poruèi: idi i okupaj se sedam puta u Jordanu, i ozdraviæe tijelo tvoje, i oèistiæeš se.
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.
Tada se rasrdi Neman i poðe govoreæi: gle! ja mišljah, on æe izaæi k meni, i staæe, i prizvaæe ime Gospoda Boga svojega, i metnuti ruku svoju na mjesto, i oèistiti gubu.
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.
Nijesu li Avana i Farfar vode u Damasku bolje od svijeh voda Izrailjskih? ne bih li se mogao u njima okupati i oèistiti? I okrenuvši se otide gnjevan.
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’?”
Ali sluge njegove pristupivši rekoše mu govoreæi: oèe, da ti je kazao prorok što veliko, ne bi li uèinio? a zašto ne bi kad ti reèe: okupaj se, pa æeš se oèistiti?
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.
I tako siðe, i zaroni u Jordan sedam puta po rijeèi èovjeka Božijega, i tijelo njegovo posta kao u maloga djeteta, i oèisti se.
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.”
Tada se vrati k èovjeku Božijemu sa pratnjom svojom, i došav stade pred njim, i reèe: evo sad vidim da nema Boga nigdje na zemlji do u Izrailju. Nego uzmi dar od sluge svojega.
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.
Ali on reèe: tako da je živ Gospod, pred kojim stojim, neæu uzeti. I on navaljivaše na nj da uzme; ali on ne htje.
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.
Tada reèe Neman: kad neæeš, a ono neka se da sluzi tvojemu ove zemlje koliko mogu ponijeti dvije mazge. Jer sluga tvoj neæe više prinositi žrtava paljenica ni drugih žrtava drugim bogovima, nego Gospodu.
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.”
A Gospod neka oprosti ovo sluzi tvojemu: kad gospodar moj uðe u dom Rimonov da se pokloni ondje, pa se prihvati za moju ruku, da se i ja poklonim u domu Rimonovu, neka oprosti Gospod sluzi tvojemu kad se tako poklonim u domu Rimonovu.
19 “Go in peace,” said Elisha, and Naaman left. But he had only gone a short way
A on mu reèe: idi s mirom. I on otide od njega, i prijeðe jedno potrkalište.
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.”
Tada reèe Gijezije sluga Jelisija èovjeka Božijega: gle, gospodar moj ne htje primiti iz ruku toga Nemana Sirca što bješe donio. Ali tako da je živ Gospod, potrèaæu za njim i uzeæu što od njega.
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?”
I Gijezije otrèa za Nemanom. A kad ga vidje Neman gdje trèi za njim, skoèi s kola svojih i srete ga, pa mu reèe: je li dobro?
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.’”
A on reèe: dobro je. Gospodar moj posla me da ti kažem: evo, baš sad doðoše k meni dva mladiæa iz gore Jefremove, proroèki sinovi, daj za njih talanat srebra i dvoje stajaæe haljine.
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.
A Neman reèe: uzmi i dva talanta. I natjera ga; i sveza dva talanta srebra u dva toboca, i dvoje stajaæe haljine, i dade dvojici momaka svojih, da nose pred njim.
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 on kad doðe na brdo, uze iz ruku njihovijeh i ostavi u jednoj kuæi, a ljude otpusti, te otidoše.
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.
Potom došavši stade pred gospodarom svojim. A Jelisije mu reèe: otkle Gijezije? A on reèe: nije išao sluga tvoj nikuda.
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?
Ali mu on reèe: zar srce moje nije išlo onamo kad se èovjek vrati s kola svojih preda te? Zar je to bilo vrijeme uzimati srebro i uzimati haljine, maslinike, vinograde, ovce, goveda, sluge i sluškinje?
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.
Zato guba Nemanova neka prione za te i za sjeme tvoje dovijeka. I otide od njega gubav, bio kao snijeg.
