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.
Torej Naamán, poveljnik vojske sirskega kralja, je bil plemenit mož pri svojem gospodarju in častitljiv, ker je po njem Gospod dal Siriji osvoboditev. Bil je tudi mogočen mož v hrabrosti, toda bil je gobavec.
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.
Sirci so hodili ven po skupinah in iz izraelske dežele odvedli ujetnico, malo deklico; in ta je čakala na Naamánovo ženo.
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.
Svoji gospodarici je rekla: »Da bi Bog dal, da bi bil moj gospodar s prerokom, ki je v Samariji! Kajti on bi odvzel njegovo gobavost.«
4 And he went in, and tolde his lorde, saying, Thus and thus saith the mayde that is of the land of Israel.
Nekdo je vstopil in to povedal svojemu gospodarju, rekoč: »Tako in tako je govorila služabnica, ki je iz Izraelove dežele.«
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,
Kralj Sirije je rekel: »Odpravi se, pojdi, jaz pa bom poslal pismo Izraelovemu kralju.« Odpotoval je in s seboj vzel deset talentov srebra, šest tisoč koščkov zlata in deset zamenjav oblačil.
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.
Izraelovemu kralju je prinesel pismo, rekoč: »Sedaj, ko je to pismo prišlo k tebi, glej, sem z njim poslal k tebi svojega služabnika Naamána, da mu lahko odvzameš njegovo gobavost.«
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.
Pripetilo se je, ko je Izraelov kralj prebral pismo, da je pretrgal svoja oblačila in rekel: » Sem jaz Bog, da ubijem in oživim, da je ta človek poslal k meni, da možu odvzamem njegovo gobavost? Zatorej preudarite, prosim vas in glejte, kako zoper mene išče spor.«
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.
Bilo je tako, ko je Božji mož Elizej slišal, da je Izraelov kralj pretrgal svoja oblačila, da je poslal h kralju, rekoč: »Zakaj si pretrgal svoja oblačila? Naj torej pride k meni in vedel bo, da je v Izraelu prerok.«
9 Then Naaman came with his horses, and with his charets, and stoode at the doore of the house of Elisha.
Tako je Naamán prišel s svojimi konji in s svojim bojnim vozom in obstal pri vratih Elizejeve hiše.
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.
Elizej pa je k njemu poslal poslanca, rekoč: »Pojdi in se sedemkrat umij v Jordanu in tvoje meso bo ponovno prišlo k tebi in boš čist.«
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.
Toda Naaman je bil ogorčen in odšel ter rekel: »Glej, mislil sem: ›Zagotovo bo prišel ven k meni, obstal in klical k imenu Gospoda, svojega Boga in s svojo roko udaril nad mestom in odvzel gobavost.‹
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.
Mar nista Abána in Parpár, reki v Damasku, boljši kakor vse Izraelove vode? Ali se ne bi mogel umiti v njima in bi bil čist?« Tako se je obrnil in v besu odšel proč.
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?
Njegovi služabniki so prišli blizu, mu spregovorili in rekli: »Moj oče, če bi ti prerok naročil, da storiš neko veliko stvar, ali ne bi ti tega storil? Koliko bolj potem, ko ti je rekel: ›Umij se in bodi čist?‹«
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.
Potem je odšel dol, se sedemkrat potopil v Jordanu, glede na izrek Božjega moža in njegovo meso je ponovno prišlo kakor meso majhnega otroka in bil je čist.
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.
Vrnil se je k Božjemu možu, on in vsa njegova skupina in prišel ter obstal pred njim in rekel: »Glej, sedaj vem, da ni Boga na vsej zemlji, razen v Izraelu. Sedaj torej, prosim te, vzemi blagoslov od svojega služabnika.«
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.
Toda on je rekel: » Kakor živi Gospod, pred katerim stojim, ne bom ničesar sprejel.« Silil ga je, da to vzame; toda zavrnil je.
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.
Naamán je rekel: »Ali ne bo, prosim te, dano tvojemu služabniku, tovor prsti za dve muli? Kajti tvoj služabnik odslej ne bo daroval niti žgalne daritve niti klavne daritve drugim bogovom, razen Gospodu.
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.
V tej stvari pa naj Gospod odpusti svojemu služabniku, da ko gre moj gospodar v Rimónovo hišo, da tam obožuje in se naslanja na mojo roko in se priklonim v Rimónovi hiši. Ko se priklonim v Rimónovi hiši, naj Gospod v tej stvari odpusti svojemu služabniku.«
19 Vnto whome he saide, Goe in peace. So he departed from him about halfe a dayes iourney of grounde.
Rekel mu je: »Pojdi v miru.« Tako je odšel od njega del poti.
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.
Toda Gehazí, služabnik Božjega moža Elizeja, je rekel: »Glej, moj gospodar je prizanesel temu Sircu Naamánu v tem, da iz njegovih rok ni sprejel tega, kar je prinesel. Toda kakor živi Gospod bom stekel za njim in od njega nekaj vzel.«
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?
Tako je Gehazí sledil Naamánu. Ko ga je Naamán videl teči za seboj, je upočasnil bojni voz, da ga sreča in rekel: » Ali je vse dobro?«
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.
Ta je rekel: »Vse je dobro. Moj gospodar me je poslal, rekoč: ›Glej, celo sedaj sta prišla k meni z gore Efrájim dva mladeniča izmed preroških sinov. Daj jima, prosim te, talent srebra in dve menjavi oblačil.‹«
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.
Naamán je rekel: »Bodi zadovoljen, vzemi dva talenta.« Silil ga je in dva talenta srebra povezal v dve vreči, z dvema menjavama oblačil in jih položil na dva izmed svojih služabnikov in nosila sta jih pred njim.
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.
Ko je prišel k stolpu, jih je vzel iz njune roke in jih shranil v hiši, moža pa je pustil oditi in sta odšla.
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.
Toda sam je vstopil in obstal pred svojim gospodarjem. Elizej mu je rekel: »Od kod prihajaš, Gehazí?« Rekel je: »Tvoj služabnik ni šel nikamor.«
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?
Rekel mu je: »Mar ni moje srce odšlo s teboj, ko se je mož ponovno obrnil nazaj iz svojega bojnega voza, da te sreča? Mar je čas, da prejemaš denar, da prejemaš obleke, oljčne nasade, vinograde, ovce, vole, služabnike in dekle?
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.
Zato se bo Naamánova gobavost trdno prijela tebe in tvojega semena na veke.« In izpred njegove prisotnosti je odšel gobav, tako bel kakor sneg.
