2 Kings 5

1 NOW Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the Lord had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper.

Ngayon si Naaman, pinuno ng hukbo ng hari ng Aram, ay magiting at marangal sa paningin ng kaniyang panginoon, dahil sa pamamagitan niya, binigyan ng tagumpay ni Yahweh ang Aram. Malakas din siya at matapang pero isa siyang ketongin.

2 And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman’s wife.

Lumusob ang mga Aramean nang grupo grupo at dinakip ang isang batang babae mula sa lupain ng Israel. Pinaglingkuran niya ang asawa ni Naaman.

3 And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy.

Sinabi ng dalaga sa kaniyang madrasta, “Sana kasama ng amo ko ang propeta na nasa Samaria! Tiyak pagagalingin niya ang ketong ng panginoon ko.”

4 And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel.

Kaya sinabi ni Naaman sa hari ang sinabi ng dalaga mula sa lupain ng Israel.

5 And the king of Syria said, Go to, go, and I will send a letter unto the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.

Kaya sinabi ng hari ng Aram, “Lumakad ka, at magpapadala ako ng liham sa hari ng Israel.” Umalis si Naaman na may baong sampung talentong pilak, anim na libong piraso ng ginto, at sampung pamalit na damit.

6 And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have therewith sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy.

Dinala rin niya ang liham sa hari ng Israel na nagsasabing, “Kapag dumating ang sulat na ito sa iyo, makikita mong pinadala ko si Naaman na aking lingkod sa iyo para pagalingin mo siya sa kaniyang ketong.”

7 And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send unto me to recover a man of his leprosy? wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me.

Nang mabasa ng hari ng Israel ang liham, pinunit niya ang damit niya at sinabing, “Diyos ba ako, para pumatay at magbigay ng buhay kaya nais ng lalaking ito na pagalingin ko ang isang tao sa kaniyang ketong? Mukhang naghahamon siya ng away.”

8 And it was so, when Elisha the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.

Kaya nang marinig ni Eliseo, ang lingkod ng Diyos, na pinunit ng hari ng Israel ang kaniyang damit, nagpadala siya ng mensahe sa hari nagsasabing, “Bakit mo pinunit ang iyong mga damit? Papuntahin mo siya sa akin at malalaman niyang may propeta sa Israel.”

9 So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.

Kaya dumating si Naaman kasama ng kaniyang mga kabayo at karwahe at tumayo sa pinto ng bahay ni Eliseo.

10 And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.

Nagpadala si Eliseo ng mensahero sa kaniya, sinasabing, “Lumublob ka sa Jordan ng pitong beses, at maibabalik ang kutis mo; ikaw ay magiging malinis.”

11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the Lord his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper.

Pero nagalit si Naaman at umalis, sinasabing, “Tingnan mo, akala ko siguradong lalabas siya para sa akin at tatayo at tatawag sa pangalan ni Yahweh na kaniyang Diyos, at ikukumpas ang kamay niya sa buong katawan ko para pagalingin ako sa aking ketong.

12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.

Hindi ba't ang Abana at Farfar, mga ilog ng Damasco, ay mas malinis kaysa lahat ng tubig sa Israel? Hindi ba pwedeng doon ako maligo para maging malinis?” Kaya tumalikod siya at umalis nang galit na galit.

13 And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?

Pagkatapos lumapit ang mga lingkod ni Naaman at kinausap siya, “Ama, kung inutusan ka ng propeta ng isang mahirap na bagay, hindi mo ba gagawin ito? Paano pa kaya kung magsabi siya sa iyo ng isang simpleng bagay gaya ng, 'Lumublob ka para maging malinis ka?'”

14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

Kaya nagpunta siya at lumublob ng pitong beses sa Jordan bilang pagsunod sa mga tagubilin ng lingkod ng Diyos. Bumalik ang kaniyang kutis, tulad ng kutis ng isang maliit na bata, at siya ay gumaling.

15 And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant.

Bumalik si Naaman sa lingkod ng Diyos, siya at ang lahat ng kaniyang kasama, at lumapit sila sa harap niya. Sinabi niya, “Alam kong wala nang ibang diyos sa buong mundo maliban sa Israel. Kaya pakiusap, tanggapin mo ang regalong ito mula sa iyong lingkod.”

16 But he said, As the Lord liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it; but he refused.

Pero tumugon si Eliseo, “Hangga't nabubuhay si Yahweh na aking pinaglilingkuran, hindi ako tatanggap ng anumang bagay.” Pinilit ni Naaman si Eliseo na tanggapin ang regalo pero tumanggi ito.

17 And Naaman said, Shall there not then, I pray thee, be given to thy servant two mules’ burden of earth? for thy servant will henceforth offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice unto other gods, but unto the Lord.

Kaya sinabi ni Naaman, “Kung hindi, maaari mo ba akong bigyan ng lupa na kayang dalhin ng dalawang mola, dahil simula ngayon, ang iyong lingkod ay hindi na maghahandog, ni mag-aalay sa sinumang diyos maliban kay Yahweh.

18 In this thing the Lord pardon thy servant, that when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon: when I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon, the Lord pardon thy servant in this thing.

Pero patawarin sana ni Yahweh ang iyong lingkod sa isang bagay na ito, iyon ay, kapag pumunta ang hari sa tahanan ni Rimmon para sumamba roon, at kumapit siya sa kamay ko, at yumuko ako sa tahanan ni Rimmon. Patawarin nawa ni Yahweh ang iyong lingkod sa bagay na ito.”

19 And he said unto him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a little way.

Sinabi ni Eliseo sa kaniya, “Humayo ka nang mapayapa.” Kaya umalis si Naaman.

20 But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the Lord liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him.

Hindi pa siya nakakalayo sa kaniyang paglalakbay nang si Gehazi lingkod ni Eliseo na lingkod ng Diyos ay sinabi sa kaniyang sarili, “Kinaawaan ng panginoon ko si Naaman na Aramean sa pamamagitan ng hindi pagtanggap ng mga regalo mula sa kamay niya na kaniyang dinala. Hangga't nabubuhay si Yahweh, hahabulin ko siya at tatanggap ako ng anumang bagay mula sa kaniya.”

21 So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?

Kaya sumunod si Gehazi kay Naaman. Nang nakita ni Naaman na may taong sumusunod sa kaniya, bumaba siya mula sa kaniyang karwahe para salubungin siya at sinabing, “Maayos lang ba ang lahat?”

22 And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.

Sinabi ni Gehazi, “Maayos naman ang lahat. Pinadala ako ng aking panginoon, sinasabing, 'May lumapit sa akin mula sa bansa sa burol ng Efraim, dalawang lalaki na anak ng mga propeta. Pakiusap bigyan mo sila ng isang talentong pilak at dalawang pamalit na damit.”

23 And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bare them before him.

Tumugon si Naaman, “Masaya akong bigyan ka ng dalawang talento.” Hinimok ni Naaman si Gehazi at nagtali ng dalawang talentong pilak sa dalawang sisidlan, na may dalawang pamalit na damit, at ipinapasan ito sa kaniyang dalawang lingkod na nagdala ng mga sisidlan ng pilak para kay Gehazi.

24 And when he came to the tower, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house: and he let the men go, and they departed.

Nang dumating si Gehazi sa burol, kinuha niya ang sisidlan ng pilak mula sa mga kamay nila at tinago ang mga ito sa bahay; pinaalis niya ang mga lingkod at umalis sila.

25 But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither.

Nang pumasok si Gehazi at humarap sa kaniyang amo, sinabi ni Eliseo, “Saan ka nanggaling, Gehazi?” Tumugon siya, “Diyan-diyan lang nagpunta ang iyong lingkod.”

26 And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?

Sinabi ni Eliseo kay Gehazi, “Hindi ba kasama mo ang espiritu ko nang huminto ang karwahe ng lalaking iyon para salubungin ka? Ito ba ang oras para tumanggap ng pera, damit, mga olibong halamanan at mga ubasan, mga tupa, mga baka, at mga lingkod na lalaki at babae?

27 The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.

Kaya ang ketong ni Naaman ay papasa-iyo at iyong mga kaapu-apuhan magpakailanaman.” Kaya umalis si Gehazi sa kaniyang harapan, isang ketongin na kasing puti ng bulak.
