2 Kings 5
1 Now was there one Naaman captaine of the hoste of the King of Aram, a great man, and honourable in the sight of his lorde, because that by him the Lord had deliuered the Aramites. He also was a mightie man and valiant, but a leper.
Naaman princeps militiae regis Syriae erat vir magnus apud dominum suum et honoratus per illum enim dedit Dominus salutem Syriae erat autem vir fortis et dives sed leprosus
2 And the Aramites had gone out by bands, and had taken a litle mayde of the land of Israel, and shee serued Naamans wife.
porro de Syria egressi fuerant latrunculi et captivam duxerant de terra Israhel puellam parvulam quae erat in obsequio uxoris Naaman
3 And she sayd vnto her mistres, Would God my lord were with the Prophet that is in Samaria, he would soone deliuer him of his leprosie.
quae ait ad dominam suam utinam fuisset dominus meus ad prophetam qui est in Samaria profecto curasset eum a lepra quam habet
4 And he went in, and tolde his lorde, saying, Thus and thus saith the mayde that is of the land of Israel.
ingressus est itaque Naaman ad dominum suum et nuntiavit ei dicens sic et sic locuta est puella de terra Israhel
5 And the King of Aram sayde, Goe thy way thither, and I will send a letter vnto the King of Israel. And he departed, and tooke with him ten talents of siluer, and sixe thousand pieces of golde, and ten change of rayments,
dixitque ei rex Syriae vade et mittam litteras ad regem Israhel qui cum profectus esset et tulisset secum decem talenta argenti et sex milia aureos et decem mutatoria vestimentorum
6 And brought the letter to the King of Israel to this effect, Now when this letter is come vnto thee, vnderstand, that I haue sent thee Naaman my seruant, that thou maiest heale him of his leprosie.
detulit litteras ad regem Israhel in haec verba cum acceperis epistulam hanc scito quod miserim ad te Naaman servum meum ut cures eum a lepra sua
7 And when the King of Israel had read the letter, he rent his clothes, and sayde, Am I God, to kill and to giue life, that hee doth send to mee, that I should heale a man from his leprosie? wherfore consider, I pray you, and see howe he seeketh a quarel against me.
cumque legisset rex Israhel litteras scidit vestimenta sua et ait numquid Deus sum ut occidere possim et vivificare quia iste misit ad me ut curem hominem a lepra sua animadvertite et videte quod occasiones quaerat adversum me
8 But when Elisha the man of God had heard that the King of Israel had rent his clothes, hee sent vnto the King, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? Let him come now to me, and he shall knowe that there is a Prophet in Israel.
quod cum audisset Heliseus vir Dei scidisse videlicet regem Israhel vestimenta sua misit ad eum dicens quare scidisti vestimenta tua veniat ad me et sciat esse prophetam in Israhel
9 Then Naaman came with his horses, and with his charets, and stoode at the doore of the house of Elisha.
venit ergo Naaman cum equis et curribus et stetit ad ostium domus Helisei
10 And Elisha sent a messenger vnto him, saying, Go and wash thee in Iorden seuen times, and thy flesh shall come againe to thee, and thou shalt be clensed.
misitque ad eum Heliseus nuntium dicens vade et lavare septies in Iordane et recipiet sanitatem caro tua atque mundaberis
11 But Naaman was wroth and went away, and sayde, Beholde, I thought with my selfe, Hee will surely come out, and stande, and call on the Name of the Lord his God and put his hand on the place, and heale the leprosie.
iratus Naaman recedebat dicens putabam quod egrederetur ad me et stans invocaret nomen Domini Dei sui et tangeret manu sua locum leprae et curaret me
12 Are not Abanah and Pharpar, riuers of Damascus, better then all the waters of Israel? may I not washe mee in them, and bee cleansed? so hee turned, and departed in displeasure.
numquid non meliores sunt Abana et Pharphar fluvii Damasci omnibus aquis Israhel ut laver in eis et munder cum ergo vertisset se et abiret indignans
13 But his seruants came, and spake vnto him, and sayd, Father, if the Prophet had commanded thee a great thing, wouldest thou not haue done it? howe much rather then, when hee sayth to thee, Wash and be cleane?
accesserunt ad eum servi sui et locuti sunt ei pater si rem grandem dixisset tibi propheta certe facere debueras quanto magis quia nunc dixit tibi lavare et mundaberis
14 Then went he downe, and washed him selfe seuen times in Iorden, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came againe, like vnto ye flesh of a litle child, and he was cleane.
descendit et lavit in Iordane septies iuxta sermonem viri Dei et restituta est caro eius sicut caro pueri parvuli et mundatus est
15 And hee turned againe to the man of God, hee, and all his companie, and came and stood before him, and sayd, Behold, now I knowe that there is no God in all the world, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a reward of thy seruant.
reversusque ad virum Dei cum universo comitatu suo venit et stetit coram eo et ait vere scio quod non sit Deus in universa terra nisi tantum in Israhel obsecro itaque ut accipias benedictionem a servo tuo
16 But hee sayde, As the Lord liueth (before whom I stand) I wil not receiue it. And he would haue constrained him to receiue it, but he refused.
at ille respondit vivit Dominus ante quem sto quia non accipiam cumque vim faceret penitus non adquievit
17 Moreouer Naaman sayde, Shall there not be giuen to thy seruant two mules loade of this earth? for thy seruant will henceforth offer neither burnt sacrifice nor offring vnto any other god, saue vnto the Lord.
dixitque Naaman ut vis sed obsecro concede mihi servo tuo ut tollam onus duorum burdonum de terra non enim faciet ultra servus tuus holocaustum aut victimam diis alienis nisi Domino
18 Herein the Lord bee mercifull vnto thy seruant, that when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon, to worship there, and leaneth on mine hand, and I bowe my selfe in the house of Rimmon: when I doe bowe downe, I say, in the house of Rimmon, the Lord be mercifull vnto thy seruant in this point.
hoc autem solum est de quo depreceris Dominum pro servo tuo quando ingreditur dominus meus templum Remmon ut adoret et illo innitente super manum meam si adoravero in templo Remmon adorante me in eodem loco ut ignoscat mihi Dominus servo tuo pro hac re
19 Vnto whome he saide, Goe in peace. So he departed from him about halfe a dayes iourney of grounde.
qui dixit ei vade in pace abiit ergo ab eo electo terrae tempore
20 And Gehazi the seruant of Elisha the man of God sayde, Beholde, my master hath spared this Aramite Naaman, receiuing not those things at his hand that he brought: as the Lord liueth, I will runne after him, and take somewhat of him.
dixitque Giezi puer viri Dei pepercit dominus meus Naaman Syro isti ut non acciperet ab eo quae adtulit vivit Dominus quia curram post eum et accipiam ab eo aliquid
21 So Gehazi followed speedily after Naaman. And when Naaman sawe him running after him, he light downe from the charet to meete him, and said, Is all well?
et secutus est Giezi post tergum Naaman quem cum vidisset ille currentem ad se desilivit de curru in occursum eius et ait rectene sunt omnia
22 And he answered, All is well: my master hath set me, saying, Behold, there be come to me, euen nowe from mount Ephraim two yong men of the children of the Prophets: giue them, I pray thee, a talent of siluer, and two change of garmets.
et ille ait recte dominus meus misit me dicens modo venerunt ad me duo adulescentes de monte Ephraim ex filiis prophetarum da eis talentum argenti et vestes mutatorias duplices
23 And Naaman saide, Yea, take two talents: and he compelled him, and bound two talents of siluer in two bagges, with two change of garments, and gaue them vnto two of his seruants, that they might beare them before him.
dixitque Naaman melius est ut accipias duo talenta et coegit eum ligavitque duo talenta argenti in duobus saccis et duplicia vestimenta et inposuit duobus pueris suis qui et portaverunt coram eo
24 And when he came to the towre, he tooke them out of their handes, and laide them in the house, and sent away the men: and they departed.
cumque venisset iam vesperi tulit de manu eorum et reposuit in domo dimisitque viros et abierunt
25 Then he went in, and stoode before his master. And Elisha said vnto him, Whence commest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy seruant went no whither.
ipse autem ingressus stetit coram domino suo et dixit Heliseus unde venis Giezi qui respondit non ivit servus tuus quoquam
26 But he saide vnto him, Went not mine heart with thee when the man turned againe from his charet to meete thee? Is this a time to take money, and to receiue garments, and oliues, and vineyardes, and sheepe, and oxen, and men seruants, and maide seruants?
at ille nonne ait cor meum in praesenti erat quando reversus est homo de curru suo in occursum tui nunc igitur accepisti argentum et accepisti vestes ut emas oliveta et vineta et oves et boves et servos et ancillas
27 The leprosie therefore of Naaman shall cleaue vnto thee, and to thy seede for euer. And he went out from his presence a leper white as snowe.
sed et lepra Naaman adherebit tibi et semini tuo in sempiternum et egressus est ab eo leprosus quasi nix
