2 Kings 5
1 And Na'aman, the captain of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man before his Lord, and highly honored; because by him had the Lord given victory unto Syria: and this man was valiant in war, [but] a leper.
亚兰王的元帅乃缦在他主人面前为尊为大，因耶和华曾借他使亚兰人得胜；他又是大能的勇士，只是长了大麻风。
2 And the Syrians had gone out in predatory troops, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maiden; and she waited on Na'aman's wife.
先前亚兰人成群地出去，从以色列国掳了一个小女子，这女子就服事乃缦的妻。
3 And she said unto her mistress, Oh that my Lord were but before the prophet that is in Samaria! then would he heal him of his leprosy.
她对主母说：“巴不得我主人去见撒马利亚的先知，必能治好他的大麻风。”
4 And he went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus hath spoken the maiden that is from the land of Israel.
乃缦进去，告诉他主人说，以色列国的女子如此如此说。
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 garments.
亚兰王说：“你可以去，我也达信于以色列王。”于是乃缦带银子十他连得，金子六千舍客勒，衣裳十套，就去了；
6 And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, which said, And now when this letter cometh unto thee, behold, I have sent to thee Na'aman my servant, that thou mayest heal him of his leprosy.
且带信给以色列王，信上说：“我打发臣仆乃缦去见你，你接到这信，就要治好他的大麻风。”
7 And it came to pass, when the king of Israel read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this one doth send unto me to heal a man of his leprosy? for know to a certainty, I pray you, and see that he but seeketh a quarrel against me.
以色列王看了信就撕裂衣服，说：“我岂是 神，能使人死使人活呢？这人竟打发人来，叫我治好他的大麻风。你们看一看，这人何以寻隙攻击我呢？”
8 And it happened, when Elisha' the man of God 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 but come to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.
神人以利沙听见以色列王撕裂衣服，就打发人去见王，说：“你为什么撕了衣服呢？可使那人到我这里来，他就知道以色列中有先知了。”
9 And Na'aman came with his horses and with his chariot, and remained at the door of the house of Elisha'.
于是，乃缦带着车马到了以利沙的家，站在门前。
10 And Elisha' sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and bathe seven times in the Jordan, and thy flesh shall be restored [healthy] to thee, and thou shalt become clean.
以利沙打发一个使者，对乃缦说：“你去在约旦河中沐浴七回，你的肉就必复原，而得洁净。”
11 But Na'aman became wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I had thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the Lord his God, and swing his hand over the place, and heal the leper.
乃缦却发怒走了，说：“我想他必定出来见我，站着求告耶和华—他 神的名，在患处以上摇手，治好这大麻风。
12 Are not Amanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not bathe in them, and become clean? and he turned and went away in a rage.
大马士革的河亚罢拿和法珥法岂不比以色列的一切水更好吗？我在那里沐浴不得洁净吗？”于是气忿忿地转身去了。
13 And his servants came near, and spoke unto him, and they said, My father, if the prophet had bidden thee a great thing, wouldst thou not do it? how much rather then, when he hath said to thee, Bathe, and become clean?
他的仆人进前来，对他说：“我父啊，先知若吩咐你做一件大事，你岂不做吗？何况说你去沐浴而得洁净呢？”
14 Then went he down, and dived seven times in the Jordan, according to the word of the man of God: and his flesh was restored [healthy] like the flesh of a little boy, and he became clean.
于是乃缦下去，照着神人的话，在约旦河里沐浴七回；他的肉复原，好像小孩子的肉，他就洁净了。
15 And he returned to the man of God, he with all his camp, and came and stood before him, and said, Behold, now I know that there is no god on all the earth, but in Israel; and now, I pray thee, take a present from thy servant.
乃缦带着一切跟随他的人，回到神人那里，站在他面前，说：“如今我知道，除了以色列之外，普天下没有 神。现在求你收点仆人的礼物。”
16 But he said, As the Lord liveth before whom I have stood, I will take none: and he urged him to take it; but he refused.
以利沙说：“我指着所事奉永生的耶和华起誓，我必不受。”乃缦再三地求他，他却不受。
17 And Na'aman said, If [thou wilt] not, [then] let there be given, I pray thee, unto thy servant two mules' burden of earth; for thy servant will not offer henceforth either burnt-offering or peace-sacrifice unto other gods, except unto the Lord.
乃缦说：“你若不肯受，请将两骡子驮的土赐给仆人。从今以后，仆人必不再将燔祭或平安祭献与别神，只献给耶和华。
18 For this thing may the Lord pardon thy servant, that when my Lord goeth into the house of Rimmon to prostrate himself there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I prostrate myself also in the house of Rimmon: when I prostrate myself in the house of Rimmon, may the Lord pardon thy servant for this thing.
惟有一件事，愿耶和华饶恕你仆人：我主人进临门庙叩拜的时候，我用手搀他在临门庙，我也屈身。我在临门庙屈身的这事，愿耶和华饶恕我。”
19 And he said unto him, Go in peace: so he departed from him some distance.
以利沙对他说：“你可以平平安安地回去！” 乃缦就离开他去了；走了不远，
20 But Gechazi, the servant of Elisha' the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Na'aman, this Syrian, in not receiving from his hand what he had brought; but, as the Lord liveth, I will run after him, and take some little thing from him.
神人以利沙的仆人基哈西心里说：“我主人不愿从这亚兰人乃缦手里受他带来的礼物，我指着永生的耶和华起誓，我必跑去追上他，向他要些。”
21 So Gechazi hurried after Na'aman; and when Na'aman saw him running after him, he lighted doom from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is [all] well?
于是基哈西追赶乃缦。乃缦看见有人追赶，就急忙下车迎着他，说：“都平安吗？”
22 And he said, [all] is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there are come to me from the mountain of Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: do give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.
说：“都平安。我主人打发我来说：‘刚才有两个少年人，是先知门徒，从以法莲山地来见我，请你赐他们一他连得银子，两套衣裳。’”
23 And Na'aman said, Give thy assent, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound up two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and he gave them unto his two young men, and they carried them before him.
乃缦说：“请受二他连得”；再三地请受，便将二他连得银子装在两个口袋里，又将两套衣裳交给两个仆人；他们就在基哈西前头抬着走。
24 And when he came to the hill, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house: and he dismissed the men, and they departed.
到了山冈，基哈西从他们手中接过来，放在屋里，打发他们回去。
25 But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha' said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gechazi? And he said, Thy servant went not hither or thither.
基哈西进去，站在他主人面前。以利沙问他说：“基哈西你从哪里来？”回答说：“仆人没有往哪里去。”
26 And he said unto him, My mind was not gone, when the man turned round from his chariot to meet thee. Is it a time to take money, and to take garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and men-servants, and maid-servants?
以利沙对他说：“那人下车转回迎你的时候，我的心岂没有去呢？这岂是受银子、衣裳、买橄榄园、葡萄园、牛羊、仆婢的时候呢？
27 May then the leprosy of Na'aman cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper [as white] as snow.
因此，乃缦的大麻风必沾染你和你的后裔，直到永远。”基哈西从以利沙面前退出去，就长了大麻风，像雪那样白。
