2 Kings 5
1 And Naaman, head of the host of the king of Aram, was a great man before his lord, and accepted of face, for YHWH had given salvation to Aram by him, and the man was mighty in valor, [but] leprous.
Tsono Naamani anali mtsogoleri wa gulu lankhondo a mfumu ya ku Aramu. Iye anali munthu wodalirika pamaso pa mbuye wake ndipo anali wokondedwa kwambiri, chifukwa kudzera mwa iye Yehova anapambanitsa Aaramu. Anali msilikali wolimba mtima, koma anali ndi khate.
2 And the Arameans have gone out [by] troops, and they take a little girl captive out of the land of Israel, and she is before the wife of Naaman,
Tsono magulu a Aaramu anapita ku nkhondo ndipo anakagwira ukapolo mtsikana wamngʼono wa ku Israeli, ndipo ankatumikira mkazi wa Naamani.
3 and she says to her mistress, “O that my lord [were] before the prophet who [is] in Samaria; then he recovers him from his leprosy.”
Mtsikanayo anawuza mkazi wa Naamani kuti, “Mbuye wanga akanapita kukaonana ndi mneneri amene amakhala ku Samariya, akanachiritsidwa khate lawo.”
4 And [one] goes in and declares [it] to his lord, saying, “Thus and thus the girl who [is] from the land of Israel has spoken.”
Naamani anapita kwa mbuye wake kukamuwuza zomwe mtsikana wochokera ku Israeli ananena.
5 And the king of Aram says, “Go, enter, and I send a letter to the king of Israel”; and he goes and takes in his hand ten talents of silver, and six thousand [pieces] of gold, and ten changes of garments.
Mfumu ya ku Aramu inayankha kuti, “Iwe uyenera kupita. Ine ndilembera kalata mfumu ya ku Israeli.” Choncho Naamani ananyamuka kupita ku Samariya, atatenga ndalama za siliva 30,000, ndalama zagolide 6,000 ndiponso zovala khumi za pa chikondwerero.
6 And he brings in the letter to the king of Israel, saying, “And now, at the coming in of this letter to you, behold, I have sent my servant Naaman to you, and you have recovered him from his leprosy.”
Kalata imene anapita nayo kwa mfumu ya ku Israeli inali ndi mawu awa: “Taonani, ndikutumiza Naamani mtumiki wanga pamodzi ndi kalatayi kwa inu kuti mumuchiritse khate lake.”
7 And it comes to pass, at the king of Israel’s reading the letter, that he tears his garments and says, “Am I God, to put to death and to keep alive, that this [one] is sending to me to recover a man from his leprosy? For surely know now, and see, for he is presenting himself to me.”
Mfumu ya ku Israeli itangowerenga kalatayo, inangʼamba mkanjo wake ndipo inati, “Kodi ine ndine Mulungu? Kodi ndingathe kupha kapena kupereka moyo? Chifukwa chiyani munthu ameneyu wanditumizira munthu woti ndimuchiritse khate lake? Taonani, iyeyu akungofuna kuti apeze chifukwa choyambanirana nane!”
8 And it comes to pass, at Elisha the man of God’s hearing that the king of Israel has torn his garments, that he sends to the king, saying, “Why have you torn your garments? Please let him come to me, and he knows that there is a prophet in Israel.”
Elisa munthu wa Mulungu atamva kuti mfumu ya ku Israeli yangʼamba mkanjo wake, anatumiza uthenga uwu: “Chifukwa chiyani mwangʼamba mkanjo wanu? Mutumizeni munthuyo kwa ine ndipo iyeyo adzadziwa kuti muli mneneri mu Israeli.”
9 And Naaman comes, with his horses and with his chariot, and stands at the opening of the house for Elisha;
Choncho Naamani anapita pamodzi ndi akavalo ake ndi magaleta nakayima pa khomo la nyumba ya Elisa.
10 and Elisha sends a messenger to him, saying, “Go, and you have washed seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh turns back to you—and be clean.”
Elisa anatumiza uthenga kwa iye woti, “Pita, kasambe kasanu ndi kawiri mu mtsinje wa Yorodani, thupi lako lidzachira ndi kukhalanso monga kale ndipo udzayeretsedwa.”
11 And Naaman is angry, and goes on and says, “Behold, I said, He certainly comes out to me, and has stood and called in the Name of his God YHWH, and waved his hand over the place, and recovered the leper.
Koma Naamani anachoka mokwiya ndipo anati, “Ine ndimaganiza kuti munthuyu atuluka ndipo ayimirira nayitana dzina la Yehova Mulungu wake, nayendetsa dzanja lake pamwamba pa nthendayi ndi kundichiritsa khate langa.
12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Do I not wash in them and I have been clean?” And he turns and goes on in fury.
Kodi Abana ndi Faripara, mitsinje ya ku Damasiko, siyoposa mitsinje ina yonse ya ku Israeli? Kodi sindikanasamba mʼmitsinje imeneyo ndi kuyeretsedwa?” Kotero anatembenuka nachoka ali wokwiya kwambiri.
13 And his servants come near, and speak to him, and say, “My father, the prophet had spoken a great thing to you—do you not do [it]? And surely, when he has said to you, Wash, and be clean.”
Antchito ake anamuyandikira namufunsa kuti, “Abambo anga, mneneri akanakulamulani chinthu chachikulu, kodi inu simukanachita? Nanga nʼzovuta motani zomwe mneneri wanena kuti ‘Kasambeni ndipo mudzayeretsedwa!’”
14 And he goes down and dips in the Jordan seven times, according to the word of the man of God, and his flesh turns back as the flesh of a little youth, and is clean.
Choncho Naamani anapita ku Yorodani nakadzimiza mʼmadzimo kasanu nʼkawiri, monga momwe munthu wa Mulungu anamuwuzira. Thupi lake linakhalanso monga kale ndipo linakhala losalala ngati la kamnyamata.
15 And he turns back to the man of God, he and all his camp, and comes in, and stands before him, and says, “Now behold, I have known that there is not a God in all the earth except in Israel; and now, please take a blessing from your servant.”
Pamenepo Naamani ndi atumiki ake onse anabwerera kwa munthu wa Mulungu uja. Naamani anayima pamaso pa Elisa ndipo anati, “Tsopano ndikudziwa kuti kulibe Mulungu wina pa dziko lonse lapansi koma mu Israeli mokha. Chonde, tsopano landirani mphatso ya mtumiki wanu.”
16 And he says, “YHWH lives, before whom I have stood—if I take [it]”; and he presses on him to take, and he refuses.
Mneneri anayankha kuti, “Pali Yehova wamoyo, amene ine ndimamutumikira, sindidzalandira zimenezi.” Ndipo ngakhale Naamani anamukakamiza, iye anakanabe.
17 And Naaman says, “If not, please let a couple of mules’ burden of earth be given to your servant, for your servant makes no more burnt-offering and sacrifice to other gods, but [only sacrifices] to YHWH.
Naamani anati, “Ngati inu simulandira, chonde lolani mtumiki wanu kuti atengeko dothi lokwanira kunyamula abulu awiri, popeza mtumiki wanu sadzaperekanso nsembe yopsereza ndi nsembe zina kwa mulungu wina koma Yehova.
18 For in this thing may YHWH be propitious to your servant, in the coming in of my lord into the house of Rimmon to bow himself there, and he was supported by my hand, and I bowed myself [in] the house of Rimmon; for my bowing myself in the house of Rimmon, may YHWH now be propitious to your servant in this thing.”
Koma Yehova andikhululukire ine pa chinthu ichi: Pamene mbuye wanga alowa mʼnyumba ya mapemphero ya Rimoni ine ndimapita naye ndipo ndimakagwada naye limodzi. Pamene ndikugwada mʼnyumba ya mapemphero ya Rimoni, Yehova azikhululukira mtumiki wanu pa chinthu chimenechi.”
19 And he says to him, “Go in peace.” And he goes from him a distance of land,
Elisa anati, “Pita mu mtendere.” Choncho anachoka nayenda pangʼono.
20 and Gehazi, servant of Elisha the man of God, says, “Behold, my lord has spared this Aramean Naaman, not to receive from his hand that which he brought; for YHWH lives; if I have run after him, then I have taken something from him.”
Koma Gehazi, mtumiki wa Elisa munthu wa Mulungu, anaganiza mu mtima mwake kuti, “Taonani, mbuye wanga wamulekerera Naamani Mwaramuyu, posalandira zomwe anabweretsa. Pali Yehova wamoyo, ine ndimuthamangira ndipo ndikatengako zinthu kwa iye.”
21 And Gehazi pursues after Naaman, and Naaman sees one running after him, and comes down off the chariot to meet him, and says, “Is there peace?”
Choncho Gehazi anamuthamangira Naamani uja. Naamani ataona Gehazi akumuthamangira, anatsika mʼgaleta lake ndi kukakumana naye. Iye anafunsa Gehazi kuti, “Kodi nʼkwabwino?”
22 And he says, “Peace; my lord has sent me, saying, Behold, now, this, two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill-country of Ephraim; please give a talent of silver and two changes of garments to them.”
Gehazi anayankha kuti, “Inde nʼkwabwino. Mbuye wanga wandituma kuti ndidzakuwuzeni kuti, ‘Anyamata awiri mwa ana a aneneri angondipeza kumene kuchokera ku dziko la mapiri la Efereimu. Chonde apatseniko ndalama za siliva 3,000 ndi zovala ziwiri za pa phwando.’”
23 And Naaman says, “Be pleased, take two talents”; and he urges him, and binds two talents of silver in two purses, and two changes of garments, and gives [them] to two of his young men, and they carry [them] before him;
Naamani anati, “Kuli bwino utenge ndalama zasiliva 6,000.” Iye anakakamiza Gehazi kuti alandire, ndipo kenaka anamanga matumba awiri a ndalama zasiliva pamodzi ndi zovala zinayi za pa mphwando. Naamani anazipereka kwa antchito ake awiri ndipo anazinyamula nayenda patsogolo pa Gehazi.
24 and he comes to the high place, and takes [them] out of their hand, and lays [them] up in the house, and sends the men away, and they go.
Gehazi atafika ku phiri, anawalanda antchito aja zinthu zija nazibisa mʼnyumbamo. Iye anawawuza anthu aja kuti abwerere ndipo anapita.
25 And he has come in, and stands by his lord, and Elisha says to him, “From where—Gehazi?” And he says, “Your servant did not go here or there.”
Kenaka analowa mʼnyumbamo nakayima pamaso pa mbuye wake Elisa. Elisa anafunsa kuti, “Kodi Gehazi unali kuti?” Iye anayankha kuti, “Mtumiki wanu sanapite kwina kulikonse.”
26 And he says to him, “My heart did not go when the man turned from off his chariot to meet you; is it a time to take silver, and to take garments, and olives, and vines, and flock, and herd, and menservants, and maidservants?
Koma Elisa anati kwa Gehazi, “Kodi mzimu wanga sunali nawe pamene munthu uja anatsika mʼgaleta lake ndi kukumana nawe? Kodi ino ndi nthawi yolandira ndalama, kapena kulandira zovala, mitengo ya olivi, minda ya mpesa, nkhosa, ngʼombe kapena antchito aamuna kapena antchito aakazi?
27 Indeed, the leprosy of Naaman cleaves to you and to your seed for all time”; and he goes out from before him—leprous as snow.
Khate la Naamani lidzakumatirira iwe ndi zidzukulu zako mpaka muyaya.” Ndipo Gehazi anachoka pamaso pa Elisa ali ndi khate lotuwa ngati phulusa.
