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.
阿蘭王的軍長納阿曼在他的主上面前，是個很受尊重愛戴的人，因為上主曾藉他使阿蘭人獲得勝利；這人雖英勇有為，無奈患了癩病。
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,
阿蘭人先前曾結隊出外劫掠，從以色列地擄來一個少女，這少女做了服侍納阿曼妻子的婢女；
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.”
她對自己的主母說：「哎! 如果我的主人去見撒瑪黎雅的先知，他一定會治好他的癩病。」
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.”
納阿曼去告訴他的主上說：「以色列地的少女曾如此如此說。」
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.
阿蘭王說：「你去! 我也給以色列王寫一封信。」納阿曼於是帶了十「塔冷通」銀子，六千「協刻耳」金子和十套禮服去了。
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.”
他給以色列王呈上信，信上說：「你收到這封信，就知道我打發我的臣僕納阿曼來見你，是要你醫好他的癩病。」
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.”
以色列王一念了這信，就撕裂自己的衣服說：「難道我是天主，能使人死使人活嗎﹖這人竟然給送這個人來，叫我醫好他的癩病! 你們只要想一想，便可看出，他是找機會來與我為難。」
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.”
天主的人厄里叟聽說以色列王撕裂了自己的衣服，叫他來見我，他就會知道在以色列有先知。」
9 And Naaman comes, with his horses and with his chariot, and stands at the opening of the house for Elisha;
納阿曼於是乘坐車馬來到厄里叟的屋門口，就停下了。
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.”
厄里叟派了一個使者對他說：「你去，在約旦河裏洗七次，你的肌肉就會復原，得到潔淨。」
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.
納阿曼生了氣，且走且說：「看，我原想他會出來見我，站在我面前，呼求上主他的天主的名，在患處揮動他的手，治好這癩病。
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.
大馬士革的阿巴納河和帕爾帕爾河，不比以色列所有的河水都好嗎﹖我不能在那裏洗得潔淨嗎﹖」他於是轉過車來，氣憤憤地走了。
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.”
他的僕人們前來對他說：「我父! 如果先知吩咐你作一件難事，你豈不是也要做嗎﹖何況他只對你說：你去洗洗，就潔淨了呢! 」
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.
納阿曼便下去，按照天主的人的話，在約旦河裏浸了七次；他的肌肉就復了原，如同嬰兒的肌肉一樣，完全潔淨了。
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.”
納阿曼於是同他的全體隨員，再回到天主的人那裏，站在他面前說：「現在我確實知道：全世界只在以色列有天主。現在，請你收下你僕人的禮物罷! 」
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.
厄里叟回答說：「我指著我所服事的永生上主起誓：我決不接受。」納阿曼再三催促他接受，厄里叟只有拒絕。
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.
納阿曼遂說：「你既不接受，至少請你讓你的僕人裝去兩個驢子所能馱的土，因為你的僕人從此不再給別的神，只給上主奉獻全燔祭和祭祀；
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.”
但有一件事，願上主寬赦你的僕人：就是當我的主上進入黎孟廟宇叩拜時，常是攙扶著我的手，這樣我也得隨他在黎孟廟宇參拜。當我在黎孟廟宇參拜時，願上主在這件事上赦免你的僕人! 」
19 And he says to him, “Go in peace.” And he goes from him a distance of land,
先知對他說：「你放心去罷! 」
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.”
納阿曼離開先知，已走了一段路。 那時，天主的人厄里叟的僕人革哈齊心裏想。「我的主人白白放過了這個阿蘭人納阿曼，沒有接受他所贈送的禮物；我指著永生的上主起誓：我一定要去追上他，向他要點東西。」
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?”
革哈齊遂去追趕納阿曼。納阿曼見他在後面追來，便下車迎接他說「都好嗎﹖」
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.”
革哈齊回答說：「都好。我主人打發我來對你說：剛才有先知的兩個青年弟子，從厄弗辣因山地來看我，請你給他們一「塔冷通」銀子和兩套禮服。」
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;
納阿曼說：「好，就請拿兩「塔冷通」罷! 」它再三催促革哈齊，將兩「塔冷通」銀子，放在兩個布袋裏；還有兩套禮服。將這些東西交給兩個僕人，叫他們在革哈齊前面拿著。
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.
當革哈齊到了一座山崗上，便從他們手中接過來，藏在家裏；然後辭別他們兩人，讓他們回去了。
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.”
當革哈齊進去侍立在主人面前時，厄里叟問他說：「革哈齊，你從那裏來! 」他回答說：「你僕人那裏也沒有去。」
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?
先知對他說：「那人下車轉來迎接你的時候，我的心豈沒有跟你去嗎﹖好罷! 現在你既然收下銀子，自然也可以買衣服、橄欖園、葡萄園、牛、羊、僕婢了。
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.
但是，納阿曼的癲病也要附在你身上和你的後裔身上，直到永遠。」革哈齊從厄里叟面前出來，就患了癩病，像雪那樣白。
